Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

More housing on commercial land

Arizona cities with at least 150,000 people must allow housing or building conversions on at least 10% of existing commercial, office, or mixed-use parcels. Cities can exclude commercial or employment hubs covering up to 10% of those parcels; exceptions also cover specified historic areas, airport-vicinity areas, and tribal lands. Qualifying projects do not need a rezoning, conditional use permit, or public hearing, and cities cannot withhold demolition permits. Height and density follow nearby residential zoning, with a five-story cap and a possible two-story limit within 100 feet of single-family zones. Adaptive reuse can keep existing height and setbacks under stated conditions. The law applies from and after December 31, 2024.

Affordable housing rules for new projects

For covered projects on parcels from 1 to 20 acres, cities must require at least 10% of homes to serve low- or moderate-income households for 20 years after first occupancy. Low-income housing can serve households earning up to 80% of area median income; moderate-income housing can serve households earning up to 120%. The law removes the former rule that rent or mortgage payments must stay at or below 30% of household income, so it does not cap a household’s payment. Cities can require objective site plan review, adequate water and sewer, code compliance, and buildings that are vacant by at least 50% or in disrepair. Parking requirements generally cannot exceed those under existing zoning, unless mixed-use rules apply. The law applies from and after December 31, 2024.
