PHOENIX — State lawmakers sent a measure Wednesday to Gov. Katie Hobbs to override many local zoning laws in the name of affordable housing.
On a bipartisan vote Wednesday, the Senate approved legislation that would limit the ability of cities to mandate everything from lot sizes and setbacks to design standards, at least for cities of 70,000 or more.
The House already has given its blessing to what’s been dubbed the “Arizona Starter Homes Act.’’ And that sends the measure to Hobbs.
