TUCSON, Ariz. — The city of Tucson is hoping to address certain housing issues with accessory dwelling units or ADUs.
In 2022, when the city approved zoning changes to permit the construction of casitas, or cottages as they are known in Spanish, they recognized an opportunity to tackle specific housing challenges in the area. In June, the Tucson Planning and Development Service received a $12,000 grant through the 2023 AARP Challenge to establish a model plan library for ADUs in Tucson."We wanted to be part of helping the city bring this idea to fruition," stated Julie Stewart, President of AIA Southern Arizona.
She believes that some of the designs align with the city's objective of addressing the housing needs of older adults and multi-generational families.
