A.R.S. § 9-462.14: Sober living homes; distance and operation requirements; deviation procedure; prohibition; definition

A. If a municipality has a zoning ordinance that restricts the distance between sober living homes or that enacts building or fire code requirements for the operation of sober living homes, the municipality shall establish a procedure by which a deviation from the requirement may be granted as a reasonable accommodation under the fair housing act (P.L. 90-284; 82 Stat. 81; 42 United States Code section 3604).

B. A municipality may not reclassify a single-family home under a local building or fire code solely because the single-family home is the subject of a license application for a sober living home.

C. For the purposes of this section, "sober living home" has the same meaning prescribed in section 36-2061.
