Bill Summary

AN ACT amending section 9-500.49, arizona revised statutes; relating to municipal development.

AI Summary

This bill amends Arizona law to require cities and towns with a population exceeding seventy-five thousand people to establish ordinances allowing administrative personnel to review and approve various development plans, such as site plans and plats, without requiring a public hearing, and also permits expedited permit review for applicants with a good compliance history. Additionally, it allows these larger municipalities to implement a self-certification program where licensed architects and engineers can vouch for project compliance with local rules, and it clarifies that "objective" standards are those based on verifiable benchmarks rather than personal interpretation. The bill also exempts certain historically significant areas from these provisions.
