New language to ‘Yes In God’s Backyard’ bill helps Paradise Valley

By Philip Haldiman | YourValley

A proposed bill that would allow active churches and other religious institutions to build affordable housing on their land has received new language that could benefit Paradise Valley, which prides itself on its single-family, 1-acre lot standards.

House Bill 2191, also known as the “Yes In God’s Backyard” bill is on the precipice of moving to the Senate for consideration. Although Paradise Valley councilors oppose the bill, they say the language addition is not a bad thing.

There are 13 houses of worship in the town of Paradise Valley.

HighGround COO Doug Cole said the bill was recently broadly amended to apply to religious institutions in an area that are zoned as of Jan. 1, 2025, for single-family residential use.

More amendments to the bill are expected, and it will have at least another read in the House of Representatives before it can move to the Senate.
