Adaptive Reuse and Multi-Family Development of Commercial Buildings
Pursuant to Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 9-462.10
The City of Chandler is committed to fostering a safe, vibrant, and sustainable
community for all residents through the adoption of programs and policies that promote
smart growth and redevelopment. In 2024, the Arizona Legislature adopted HB 2297,
codified as Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 9-462.10, which mandates that cities allow adaptive reuse and
multi-family development of up to ten percent of the existing commercial buildings within
the city without requiring a public hearing. This policy is adopted to establish the objective
standards required by that statute.
Objective Standards:
1.
Up to ten percent of the existing commercial, office, employment, or mixed-use
buildings within the City of Chandler are eligible to be developed pursuant to Ariz.
Rev. Stat. § 9- 462.10, with the exception of those buildings in areas designated by the
City Council to be excluded under § 9-462.10(B).1 Eligibility under this program is
determined on a first-come, first-served basis. Upon redevelopment of ten percent of
the existing commercial, office, employment, or mixed-use buildings in the city
pursuant to Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 9-462.10, this program will cease, and future buildings
will not be approved for redevelopment.
2.
All proposed developments must undergo a comprehensive site plan review and
approval process by Development Services staff. The site plan review may include
evaluation by any utility provider impacted by the proposed development.
3.
The site must have adequate sewer and water service for the entire proposed
development.
4.
The development must comply with all building and fire codes adopted by the City of
Chandler.
5.
The developer applying for eligibility under this program must show that the existing
building proposed to be redeveloped is economically or functionally obsolete as
defined in Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 9-462.10.
1 Concurrent with the adoption of this policy, the City Council has adopted by resolution a map titled “HB 2297
Building Analysis” that shows those portions of the city that are not eligible for redevelopment under this policy and
Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 9-462.10.

6.
The existing building proposed to be redeveloped must be located on a parcel that is
at least one acre in size but not more than 20 acres in size.
7.
The developer must set aside at least ten percent of the total dwelling units for either
low-income2 or moderate-income housing,3 or a combination of the two, for at least
twenty years after issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the building.
8.
Density: The maximum density shall be equal to the highest constructed multi-family
density within one mile of the building to be redeveloped.
If no multi-family development exists within one mile, then the maximum density
shall be limited to the density of the next closest multifamily zoning district.
9.
Height: Height shall be limited to five-stories. Any part of a proposed development
within one hundred feet of a single-family residential is limited to two stories.
Height exemption: If the maximum allowable height applicable to the existing
commercial, office, or mixed-use building exceeds the maximum allowable height for
the proposed use, the existing height may remain and shall be considered
nonconforming for height purposes and the existing building may be expanded to
the maximum allowable density for the proposed use. Any rooftop appurtenances
shall be included within the height exemption.4
10.
Setbacks: The proposed development shall comply with building setbacks required
under Chandler Zoning Code for the multi-family residential zoning district if the
building is redeveloped into multi-family residential.
If the building is redeveloped into an adaptive reuse building as defined in Ariz. Rev.
Stat. § 9-462.10, the minimum building setback requirement that applies to existing
commercial, office or mixed-use building shall be required. If the building setback for
the existing building is less than the required setback, the existing building shall be
considered legal non-conforming for setbacks purposes.
11.
Parking: The proposed development must provide minimum parking spaces required
under the Chandler Zoning Code for multi-family residential if the building is
2 Low-income housing means housing for a person or persons whose household income does not exceed eighty percent of
the Area Median Income; the occupant pays not more than thirty percent of the occupant’s gross income for the occupant’s
rent or mortgage, as determined by the Arizona Department of Housing and adjusted for household size based on the United
States Department of Housing and Urban Development. Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 9-462.10(H)(4).
3 Moderate-income housing means housing for a person or persons whose household income does not exceed one hundred
twenty percent of the Area Median Income; the occupant pays not more than thirty percent of the occupant’s gross income
for the occupant’s rent or mortgage, as determined by the Arizona Department of Housing and adjusted for household size
based on the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 9-462.10(H)(4).
4 For purposes of this policy, “rooftop appurtenances” has the meaning contained in Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 9-462.10(H)(8).

redeveloped into multi-family housing.
If the building redevelops as adaptive reuse building as defined in Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 9-
462.10, the parking requirement must meet the minimum standards contained in the
Chandler Zoning Code for similar adaptive reuse buildings.
12.
Not more than 10% of the total 2,721 existing commercial, office, or mixed-use
buildings in existence when this policy is first adopted may be redeveloped for
multifamily residential development or adaptive reuse under Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 9-
462.10. The Chandler Planning Department shall keep track of the number of
buildings redeveloped under this policy and shall stop accepting applications when
the total maximum number has been constructed.

Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 28-8486.
14.
The eligible properties considered under this policy may be modified by the City
Council every ten years until a total of ten percent of the buildings have been
redeveloped under this policy, or until the Arizona legislature revokes the authority
granted in Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 9-462.10, whichever is sooner.
15.
This policy is intended to comply with the requirements of Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 9-462.10.
Any conflict found between this policy and Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 9-462.10 will be construed
in favor of compliance with Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 9-462.10.
