The City of Glendale updated the Unified Development Code (UDC) through Zoning Text Amendment ZTA24-03, aligning it with ARS 9-461.18 and House Bill 2720. The amendment permits accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in single-family residential areas with specific regulations for size, setbacks, and architectural style. It encourages aesthetic compatibility with primary residences and allows flexibility for ADU placement citywide.
This amendment addresses housing affordability and diversity while ensuring aesthetic harmony in residential neighborhoods. It supports Glendale’s goals of expanding housing options and sustainable urban development.
