This bill proposes several updates to current Arizona statutes related to zoning. It would repeal section 9-461.16, which currently restricts municipalities from adopting land use regulations that violate its provisions. Additionally, it would remove sections 11-819 and 33-1329 entirely from the statutes. The bill also modifies existing language by changing the letter designations for certain subsections, specifically replacing the letters H, I, and J with h, i, and j, respectively, while maintaining the content of those subsections.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that municipalities must consider individual property rights and personal liberties before adopting zoning ordinances, and it mandates that a housing impact statement be evaluated prior to any zoning ordinance adoption. It also establishes that municipalities cannot enforce land use regulations requiring non-governmental primary or secondary school properties to exceed one acre in size. Overall, these changes aim to streamline zoning regulations and enhance considerations for property rights and housing impacts.
