Council hears first reading on state-required preapproved housing plan program
Summary
Council opened first reading of Ordinance 2026-09 to establish a Preapproved Housing Design Plan Program and online plan library as required by A.R.S. § 9-461.19; staff said the ordinance is mandatory and must be effective by July 1.
The council opened first reading of Ordinance 2026-09, which would amend Town Code Title 15 to establish a Preapproved Housing Design Plan Program and an online preapproved plan library as required by A.R.S. § 9-461.19. Zoning staff explained the program allows architects and design professionals to submit non-site-specific housing plans for pre-review and listing, which can speed permit issuance.
Dr. Jim Johnson thanked the town attorney for assembling the ordinance quickly and noted the state requirement for the program takes effect July 1; the council opened discussion on the ordinance as a housekeeping action mandated by state law.
