Land Use Planning (1-AZa)
Information current as of 2024
n Arizona, land use planning is delegated to local municipalities and counties. Land Use Plans (LUPs) are used by state and federal agencies to manage public lands. They form the basis for every action and approved use of those lands. Different agencies will refer to LUPs by different names, but all LUPs serve the same purpose; to dictate what actions can and cannot be taken on the managed unit of land. Non-conforming uses require a LUP be amended or revised before a right-of-way or special use permit can be authorized.
Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 9-461.01 and Ariz. Rev Stat. § 9-462.01 authorizes municipalities to develop and maintain a general plan to conserve and promote the public health, safety and general welfare through zoning ordinances. Arizona Revised Statutes. §11-802 authorizes counties to develop and maintain a general plan to conserve and promote public health, safety and general welfare through zoning ordinances.
