Patagonia panel discusses clarifying 100-year water-supply requirement in subdivision code; no action taken
Summary
The Planning & Development Committee discussed updating Chapter 15 (Subdivisions) to clarify how the town’s official water status affects development and suggested inviting the Arizona Department of Water Resources for guidance; the committee took no formal action Sept. 10, 2024.
Members of the Town of Patagonia Planning and Development Committee spent part of their Sept. 10 meeting discussing proposed clarifications to Chapter 15 (Subdivisions) of the Town Code, centering on how the town’s current official water status affects development under the existing code.
Town Manager Ron Robinson explained that the committee should clarify the code language that addresses requirements for demonstrating an adequate 100-year water supply for subdivisions. Committee members suggested contacting the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) to provide guidance on the Adequate Water Supply designation and its application to the town. No motion or formal action was taken on this item during the meeting.
The committee listed inviting an ADWR representative to a future meeting and scheduling a study session to work on updating Chapter 15 as items for a future agenda. Those steps were proposed to provide the technical and regulatory context required before making code changes.
