Caucus & COW

Overview

Displays support among the Arizona State Legislature for building for-sale housing developments outside the service area of designated providers if certain conditions regarding CAGRD enrollment and groundwater replenishment requirements are met.

History

The Arizona Department of Housing (ADOH) is the entity responsible for establishing policies, procedures and programs to address affordable housing issues in Arizona, including housing issues of low-income and moderate-income families, housing affordability, special needs populations and decaying housing stock. According to the ADOH five-year strategic plan, ADOH estimates a housing shortage of over 250,000 units Statewide (A.R.S. § 41-3953).

The Central Arizona Groundwater Replenishment District (CAGRD) is responsible for replenishing groundwater to guarantee consistency with the management goal for assured water supply purposes for its member lands and member service areas. CAGRD serves member lands and service areas in the Phoenix, Tucson and Pinal Active Management Areas (AMAs). Currently there are eight AMAs: Phoenix, Pinal, Prescott, Tucson, Santa Cruz, Douglas, Willcox and Ranegras (ADWR-CAGRD)(Active Management Areas).

Provisions

1.   Asserts that the members of the Legislature support building for-sale housing developments outside the service area of designated providers, if the development is enrolled in CAGRD and the groundwater used to serve such homes is replenished as required by the Phoenix, Pinal and Tucson AMA Assured Water Supply Rules.
