Arizona SB1601 mandates municipalities with populations over 75,000 to allow middle housing on single-family residential lots.
Arizona SB1601 amends municipal zoning regulations to require cities with populations over 75,000 to permit duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and townhouses on single-family residential lots. The bill defines "middle housing" as buildings with two or more attached, detached, stacked, or clustered homes. It prohibits municipalities from discouraging middle housing development and restricts certain zoning actions. The act does not apply to unincorporated areas, those lacking urban services, or areas not served by water and sewer services.
