AZ HB2474

Prohibits municipal planning agencies from requiring developers to construct planned communities unless the homeowners' association owns or is liable for costs of specific amenities including golf courses, lakes, pools over 1,200 square feet, clubhouses over 2,500 square feet, orchards/agricultural features covering 2+ acres, equestrian facilities, aircraft landing strips, commercial property, schools, or churches.

Requires municipal planning agencies to mandate formation of a municipal improvement district under title 48, chapter 4 for any proposed planned community lacking one or more of the specified special features.

Applies the same restrictions and requirements to county planning and zoning commissions, requiring formation of a county improvement district under title 48, chapter 6 for planned communities without qualifying special features.

Establishes statutory framework in Arizona Revised Statutes by adding section 9-461.15 for municipalities and section 11-810 for counties to govern planned community zoning and development requirements.
