At least four laws passed by the Arizona legislature and signed into law by Gov. Katie Hobbs this year will impact development and housing in Chandler.
Four new sets of changes provide more direction for either Chandler residents or staff, especially in Development Services. But, by and large, according to the city’s strategic initiatives director, Ryan Peters, the city fought many of these bills in the legislature — especially ones that affect public safety and local control.
Chandler’s planning administrator, Kevin Mayo, went over new legislation and other aspects affecting the city’s housing supply at a lengthy Sept. 9 City Council work session.
In some cases, council will have actions on its agendas in the months ahead that will incorporate new laws into city code.
