Impacting, Influencing and Changing the Conversation: City Plans and Housing Development

You have a couple of sources to point your client to in order for them to answer their own questions. The City Plan and the Code of Ordinances are two sources and they can always ask the Economic Development Department since frequently the City Plan and Code of Ordinances are amended in order to accommodate current economic needs of the City.

In my blogpost on City General Plans and their impact on ordinances and development from last November, I discuss impacts and highlight of the changes proposed in Surprise and Tempe as examples.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau as of December 31, 2020 the Phoenix Metro area saw housing permits of 46,618 units in 2020. That’s a 24% increase in single family homes over the course of 2020 and a 32% increase in multi-family housing at a time when there was an 18% increase in the median sales price.

According to RealPage Inc Phoenix Metro had 22,055 apartment units under construction in the third quarter of 2020. It is estimated another 45,500 apartment units will be permitted in 2021.

I like to look at entitled units because those numbers are a good view to the future.
