zoning; housing; historic neighborhoods

Summary

The bill forces any Arizona municipality with 75,000 or more residents to treat duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes and townhomes as permitted uses in single‑family residential areas within a mile of the downtown and on at least 20% of large new developments. It also bars local governments from imposing restrictions that make such housing impractical, like limiting height, floor‑area ratio, parking, or requiring commercial codes. If a city does not comply by Jan. 1, 2026, the middle‑housing types become allowed everywhere single‑family zoning exists.
