There’s little mystery why the cost of housing in Chandler is so high.
The city is a desirable place to live with a limited supply of homes.
The City of Chandler can’t create more land to build homes on but what it can do is relax some of the rules that some say keep the housing supply low.
Last month, the city Planning and Zoning Commission met in a work session to look at a wide range of adjustments to Chandler’s codes.
City staff has been fine-tuning the package for months. City Council first looked at them last spring.
Since then, there have been two council sub-committee meetings to do a deeper dive into the changes. Last month’s meeting was the first time Planning and Zoning got a look at the proposals.
