Fighting for affordable & abundant housing in Tempe, AZ.

Second, Tempe should think bigger and expand to overlay to cover the city.

Allowing missing middle is a positive reform but one that needs to go wide to have an impact. Tempe should go beyond what's required by state law and lead on housing affordability.

First, the inclusion of an "Airport Exclusion Area" which is allowed by law but not required.

This serves little purpose other than to artificially limit where Middle Housing can be built. There are already many single family homes and apartments built within this area.

You can give feedback here until tomorrow and tell city staff that Tempe should adopt the required Missing Middle provisions citywide.

Worse, the city wants more time to try and add further restrictions on building naturally affordable homes.

You have until tomorrow (3/5) to give Tempe staff feedback on the ordinance. Tell the city to expand the provisions in the bill, and allow Missing Middle homes citywide.
