FAQ
- Q. Can I add (1) garage, either attached or detached?
- A. Garage, whether detached or attached may be added to your property. It will have to meet standard district setbacks and if detached may be as close as 4 foot from the rear property line or 6 foot from the rear property line if access from an alley is being proposed.
- Q. Can I add a storage shed?
- A. Storage sheds can be built upon private property that meet setbacks and receive either site plan approval (less than 180 SF) or a building permit (More than 180 SF).
- Q. What is the process for guest quarters?
- A. In the single-family zoning district, guest quarters are permitted with a conditional use permit (CUP). The CUP is a formal application process to the Board of Adjustment. The guesthouses are permitted to have a fully functional kitchen, stove or range but can not be rented or sold.
- Q. Can I split my property and sell-off a portion? What do I need to do?
- A. If your proposed split provides enough area to meet the minimum square footage for your zoning district, splitting can be accomplished by a formal application to Planning and Zoning for either a land split, revision to a plat or a replat. In all three cases, an Arizona Registered Land Surveyor will be required.
- Q. Can I have a business in my home?
- A. Home based business is permitted when they meet the criteria set forth in the Land Development Code. This typically restricts the home based business from generating traffic, customers or employees that do not live on the premises.
- Q. Can I have a horse on my property?
- A. Animals including horses are governed by chapter 3 (animals and fowl) of the City Code. The number of horses is dependent on land area and setbacks, not zoning.
- Q. How many unrelated people can live in one residence?
- A. A single family for purposes of occupying a single-family home will allow up to 8 unrelated people.
- Q. What kind of signage can I have on my business? What about banners?
- A. The sign code provides for signage within the City limits. Banners are permitted on a temporary basis with a temporary sign permit.
- Q. Can I have a hot dog or food vending cart around town?
- A. Individual stand-alone hot dog carts are not permitted within the City limits.
- Q. When do I need Development Review?
- A. Development Review (DRC) is required whenever there is new commercial construction, change of use or significant expansion to an existing commercial development. A commercial development includes residential developments, which number 3 units or more or any combinations that makes 3 or more units. A pre-application meeting will not always be required.
