Proposed changes to the City’s regulations for adaptive reuse and multifamily development were approved by Mayor and Council during their meeting on December 10, 2024. These amendments were prompted by the passage of House Bill (HB) 2297 by the State of Arizona, which mandates compliance with specific standards for adaptive reuse and multifamily projects.
The new regulations, effective January 9, 2025, permit multifamily residential development or adaptive reuse for at least 10% of all existing commercial, office, or mixed-use buildings, provided the buildings are deemed economically or functionally obsolete, by right.
