Bill > HB2299

This bill amends the Arizona Revised Statutes to allow municipalities and counties to adopt ordinances for the development of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in areas zoned for single-family or multifamily use. The bill outlines requirements for these ordinances, such as designating areas where ADUs may be permitted, imposing standards for ADUs (e.g., parking, size, architectural review), and prohibiting minimum lot size requirements. The bill also requires municipalities and counties to act on ADU permit applications within 60 days if there is an existing single-family or multifamily dwelling on the lot. The bill defines an "accessory dwelling unit" as an attached or detached residential unit that provides complete independent living facilities and is located on a lot with a primary residential unit.
