Zoning districts
2 districts, grouped by category.
General provisions
12 rules that bind every district rather than one — sign regulations, parking, floodplain and the rest of the code’s citywide chapters.
This chapter allows the owner of one parcel of land to transfer potential development rights for that parcel of land to another parcel... Transferable development rights shall be used for undisturbed land use requirements only.
Fences not over 7 feet (2.13m) high. (All pool barriers require a permit.)
One-story detached accessory structures, provided that the floor area does not exceed 200 square feet and the structure does not contain any electrical, plumbing, or mechanical systems.
Outdoor fireplaces, woodstoves, fire pits, and other devices capable of burning wood shall be installed at least 10 feet from any property line.
All electric lines in new subdivisions, except those graded in 3,000 KVA capacity and above, and except switching cabinets and pad-mounted transformers, and all telephone lines and television cable in new subdivisions shall be installed underground for those subdivisions which do not have utility service to the building site, unless, upon recommendation of the Planning Commission, the Town Council determines that, due to surface soil conditions, it is impractical to do so.
Those public records entitled 'Flood Insurance Study for Maricopa County, Arizona, and Incorporated Areas Dated July 20, 2021' and 'Flood Insurance Rate Maps Dated October 16, 2013' ... are hereby adopted by reference, as the basis for establishing the special flood hazard areas for floodplain management in the town.
It is unlawful for any person to sell a parcel of land located within the town which has been split or divided from another parcel of land until first having applied for and been granted the approval of the split or division by the town staff.
Medical marijuana cultivation location for a designated caregiver in a residential district is not permitted, unless sufficient evidence exists that the location is greater than 25 miles from a medical marijuana dispensary within the State of Arizona.
The use, sale, cultivation, manufacture, production, or distribution of marijuana or marijuana products is prohibited on property that is occupied, owned, controlled, or operated by the town. It is unlawful for an individual to smoke marijuana in a public place or open space.
Marijuana establishments shall be subject to the provisions of Ch. 155 of this code and Ch. 3 Commercial Zones of the town zoning ordinance for retail establishments.
To the fullest extent allowable by law, the operation of a marijuana testing facility is prohibited in the town.
Marijuana possession, consumption, processing, manufacturing, transportation, and cultivation is permitted in a residential zoning district subject to conditions including plant limits, enclosed area, and visibility restrictions.
