Campana V. Arizona State Land Department

The Commissioner (Commissioner) of the Arizona State Land Department (Department) scheduled two public auctions for land in Northeast Phoenix. The land in question, held in trust pursuant to the Enabling Act, was part of an undeveloped residential community called Desert Ridge, which was planned in cooperation with the City of Phoenix pursuant to the Urban Lands  Act, Ariz.Rev.Stat.Ann. ("A.R.S.") section 37-331 et seq. To realize maximum value of the land, the Department devised a mechanism for the installation of infrastructure (water, sewer, garbage, streets and bike paths) via a land sale, because neither the Department nor the City of Phoenix had the financial resources to install the infrastructure.
