      Sec. 47-241a. Master planned communities. (a) The declaration for a common interest community may state that it is a master planned community if the declarant has reserved the development right to create at least five hundred units that may be used for residential purposes, and at the time of the reservation such declarant owns or controls more than five hundred acres on which the units may be built.

      (b) If the requirements of subsection (a) of this section are satisfied, the declaration for the master planned community need not state a maximum number of units and need not contain any of the information required by subdivisions (3) to (14), inclusive, of subsection (a) of section 47-224 until the declaration is amended under subsection (c) of this section.

      (c) When each unit in a master planned community is conveyed to a purchaser, the declaration must contain (1) a sufficient legal description of the unit and all portions of the master planned community in which any other units have been conveyed to a purchaser, and (2) all the information required by subdivisions (3) to (14), inclusive, of subsection (a) of section 47-224 with respect to that real property.

      (d) The only real property in a master planned community which is subject to this chapter are units that have been declared or which are being offered for sale and any other real property described pursuant to subsection (c) of this section. Other real property that is or may become part of the master planned community is not subject to the provisions of this chapter but is subject to any other restrictions and limitations that appear of record.

      (e) If the public offering statement conspicuously identifies the fact that the community is a master planned community, the disclosure requirements contained in sections 47-262 to 47-281, inclusive, apply only with respect to units that have been declared or are being offered for sale in connection with the public offering statement and to the real property described pursuant to subsection (c) of this section.

      (f) Limitations in this chapter on the addition of unspecified real property do not apply to a master planned community.

      (g) The common interest community loses its status as a master planned community if the aggregate amount of land which is either subject to the declaration or owned or contractually controlled by the declarant ceases to total at least five hundred acres.
