Chandler eyes massive zoning code changes
Here’s an example of a double wall. Developers say it’s easier to build a new wall than try and negotiate with existing neighbors about rebuilding their wall, which takes too much time. (City of Chandler)
Chandler’s Planning and Zoning Commission is looking at proposals to ease up on stringent rules that have hamstrung business and development there. For multifamily, it’s considering loosening onerous parking requirements, letting developers build up to 55 feet (as opposed to the current 45) without getting a mid-rise overlay and allowing shipping containers to be used as building materials. Also, like Phoenix, it’s considering allowing accessory dwelling units with cooking facilities to make them fully livable.
