HB 2380 extends the time period required for a person to acquire complete title to residential real property and requires the adverse possessor who prevails in court to pay the owner of the residential property the fair market value of the property.
HB 2380 passed the Judiciary Committee unamended.
A proposed strike-everything amendment will be offered in the Committee on Counties and Municipalities.
The proposed strike-everything
amendment to HB 2380 requires city and county plans to recognize existing water
law; prohibits regulation or reduction of grazing or general agricultural
activities and provides a method for a landowner to resolve disputes with
cities and counties.
Cities are required to adopt a general plan which is a municipal statement of land development policies that outlines the principals and standards for local growth. Each county board of supervisors is required to adopt a comprehensive long-term county plan. The plans may include maps, charts or graphs. The process for drafting, approval and administration of a city general plan is outlined in statute under Title 9, and the requirements for a county comprehensive plan are outlined in statute in Title 11.
· Prohibits a water resources element of a city or county plan from affecting any rights, privileges or authority granted pursuant to Arizona water law.
· Stipulates that a city or county plan cannot regulate or reduce existing grazing or general agricultural activities if those activities are conducted on 5 or more contiguous acres of private, state or federal land.
· Requires cities and counties to provide a process for a landowner to resolve disputes regarding designation of private or state trust land as open space.
