History
The Arizona State Land Commissioner's (Commissioner) duties include making plans for the future use of state lands in cooperation with other state agencies, local planning authorities and political subdivisions to promote the infill and orderly development of state lands in areas beneficial to the trust and to prevent urban sprawl.
The Disposition Plan identifies the land projected to be sold, leased, reclassified for conservation purposes, master planned or zoned during the next five years.
The Conceptual Plan is developed for urban state trust land and other state trust lands that identifies appropriate use, transportation corridors and infrastructure requirements and all natural and artificial constraints and opportunities (A.R.S. §§ 37-132, 37-331.03).
