TUCSON, Ariz. — Zoning rules organize a city. Without zoning rules your neighborhood would be a horrific mish mash where just about anything goes. But now the City of Tucson is considering redoing the zoning rules in a way some neighbors do not like.
Proposed changes to the Zoning code would rewrite rules for setback–the distance between homes, and the distance from homes to the street to make it easier to build townhomes. Other changes would reduce the amount of parking spaces required. Now a three bedroom apartment is required to have space for two cars. The revisions would only require one space per living unit.Ronni Kotwicka is an advocate for the Tanque Verde neighborhood.
“And what we're seeing in a lot of these situations, before this even happened was, people are turning their front yards into parking, parking lots. And that's just not what we as neighbors in the city want to see.” “Plus with more infill, you have more rental, and then you have more owner flight. So you can't if you don't have owners in the area, you have out of state landowners, you have slum lords, you have all of it. And that does not make a neighborhood better.”
