Adaptive Reuse Overlay District Offers
New Opportunities for Redevelopment ::
On Jan. 14, the Chandler City Council approved the adoption of an Adaptive Reuse Overlay District designed to stimulate reinvestment within established areas along Arizona Avenue and Chandler Boulevard by facilitating the reuse of existing, underutilized buildings.
Qualified adaptive reuse projects will be able to take advantage of modified development standards (e.g. reduced setback, parking, mechanical screening and landscaping requirements), and a streamlined review/approval process that makes project timeframes and costs more predictable.
In Chandler, a qualified adaptive reuse project is one that meets these criteria:
- Building Age: Built before 1990, and
- Building Size: Less than 15,000 square feet, and/or
- Lot Size: 30,000 square feet or less
- Zoning: Is a commercially zoned property that is in the identified Adaptive Reuse Overlay District
The following are just some of the anticipated community benefits of the Adaptive Reuse Overlay District:
- Support development of unique, local businesses
- Generate jobs for Chandler residents
- Generate tax revenue to support City services
- Support continued investment and neighborhood revitalization in Downtown and North Chandler
