All Comments:
Harold Bergsma, Self: This bill needs work but it's headed in the right direction. Smaller lots, smaller units will

contribute to lower cost residences. Zoning needs to allow for that.; Trevor Malzewski, Self: This bill is a must-pass
for making starter homes broadly available to the next generation. Housing cannot be built if zoning codes do not
allow for it, and will not be affordable if they continue to eat up to 50% of the cost of a home; Mary Evelyn
Simpson, Self: YavGOP PC. Support any reasonable decrease in regulations that will help improve the affordable
housing crisis; deana corsa, Self: pc Prescott; Wendy Radimer, Self: | Support this bill. Wendy Radimer Yavapai
County PC; Paul Johnson, Self: | agree with this bill.. Arnold Paul Johnson, Yavapai County PC; Dennis J Legere,
ARIZONA HOMEOWNERS COALITION: We strongly support this and the many similar bills that restrict
municipalities from mandating the creation of planned communities and condominiums.; Eric Orsborn, Self:
Opposed; Jana Granillo, Self: Because each neighborhood is different, access, emergency, density etc. | find that
prescriptive wide sweeping legislation interferes with my property rights. As a general principal in local governance.
this removes my voice in local govt.; Jackie Rich, Self: Zoning creates order and enables the rational allocation of
services and sizing of infrastructure. Muni regulation does more good than harm. Chaos created by deregulation
would damage property values and NOT create starter homes.; Neal Haddad, Self: This zoning deregulation bill
removes citizens’ ability to have a voice about planning their neighborhoods. Setbacks, lot sizes and lot coverage
impact infrastructure, public safety and traffic safety. Please consider all ways this bill harms us all; Susan Edwards,
Self: Who are you building for? Arizonans or more out-of-state investors? With 61,000 Arizona homes already lost
to short-term rentals and over 1/4 of Central AZ homes owned by investors now, how are you preventing total sale
of our state here?; Mary Ziola, Self: HB2371 will eliminate Cities to require developer to host neighborhood
meetings to provide feedback. Design standards prevent overcrowding, keep neighborhood appeal and property
values. Many communities don't want neighborhoods with high density.; Carol Ayotte, Self: Zoning and
development for housing needs to stay at the city/town level not at the state level where the citizens have no
voice in their community; Paul Davenport, Self: HB237I’s intent statement essentially contends that heavy--
handed state mandates are a necessary response to the housing shortage. That contention ignores more
reasonable policy choices that don’t undermine local control. Weigh the pros and cons.; Opal Wagner, Self:
Professional civil engineers and city planners are best qualified to set zoning rules - not state legislators. The
proposals in this bill to increase lot coverage and reduce setbacks can lead to unforeseen consequences flooding &
the spread of fire.; Barbara Parker, Self: This DOES infringe upon personal property rights because it is for URBAN
greater than 70K. That creates Urban Sprawl and affects existing owners rights. This bill needs to be made for LESS
than 70K... or RURALLY, we need to build out! Not up on top.; Peggy J McMahon, Self: This is trying to take a
sledgehammer to local cities and towns right to govern land use and homes and hand it over to the State
Legislature. NO REASON for this bill. Creating a problem not solving one. Overreaching into town/cities
governing.; Margaret Fernandez, Self: Who benefits? Sponsor? Developers? Who loose? Home owners!; Doris
Mills, Self: Discovered this is the wrong direction.; Katy Proctor, City Of Maricopa: Oppose removing the voice of
our residents from decisions on how our community expands. Also, state infrastructure (specifically SR 347) needs
to be expanded immediately if density is expected to triple/quadruple in new developments.; Judy Keane , City Of
Peoria: City of Peoria; Heather Bernacki Wilkey, QUEEN CREEK, TOWN OF: Will testify if needed; Lee Busenbark,
Self: | am opposed to this legislation as it takes away neighborhood and community rights to have input and say in
their city and the development that happens around them. The public must have the right to provide input on

rezoning requests.

HB 2168: long-term RVs; cooling; prohibition
Sponsor: Representative Gress, LD 4
Committee on Commerce

Overview
Prevents a recreational vehicle park landlord from prohibiting the installation of cooling
methods on a tenant's recreational vehicle.

History
The Recreational Vehicle Long-Term Rental Space Act regulates and determines rights,

obligations and remedies for a recreational vehicle space that is rented in a recreational
vehicle park or mobile home park by the same tenant under a rental agreement for more than
180 consecutive days (A.R.S. § 33-2101).

A landlord must adopt written rules concerning the tenant's use and occupancy of the
premises. Such rules are enforceable against the tenant only if: 1) they apply to all tenants
on the premises in a fair manner; 2) they are sufficiently explicit in prohibition, direction or
limitation of the tenant's conduct to fairly inform the tenant of what the tenant must or must
not do to comply; 3) they are not for the purpose of evading the obligations of the landlord;
and 4) the prospective tenant has a copy of the current rules before entering into the rental
agreement. A new tenant who brings a recreational vehicle into a park or who purchases an
existing recreational vehicle or mobile home must comply with all current rules.

Statute outlines prohibitions for landlords pertaining to the tenant's use and occupancy,
including requiring an existing tenant to furnish permanent improvements that cannot be
removed without damage to the improvements or to the recreational vehicle space by a tenant
at the expiration of the rental agreement (A.R.S. § 33-2132).

Provisions

1. Precludes a recreational vehicle park landlord from prohibiting a tenant from installing
reasonably necessary commercial cooling methods on the tenant's recreational vehicle
(Sec. 1).

HB 2193: captive insurers; certificate of dormancy
Sponsor: Representative Livingston, LD 28
Committee on Commerce

Overview
Provides requirements for a captive insurer to apply for a certificate of dormancy.

History
Captive insurance serves as a form of self-insurance where the captive insurer is owned by

the insured and provides insurance to its non-insurance parent company. A captive insurer
is any pure captive insurer, agency captive insurer, group captive insurer or protected cell
captive insurer that is formed, licensed and domiciled in this state. A captive insurer may
only insure commercial property and casualty, surety and life and disability risks.

An applicant for a captive insurer license must submit a nonrefundable fee to DIFI and
submit a license renewal fee when the captive insurer files an annual report detailing the
insurer's financial condition. The director of the Department of Insurance and Financial
Institutions (DIFI]) may not issue a captive insurance license unless the insurer possesses
and maintains prescribed minimum capital and surplus (A.R.S. §§ 20-1098.03, 20-1098.07).

Provisions
1. Allows a captive insurer to apply to DIFI for a certificate of dormancy if they:

a) are domiciled in this state; and
b) meet the definition of dormancy captive insurer. (Sec. 5)

2. Defines dormant captive insurer as a captive insurer that has both:
a) ceased transacting the business of insurance, including issuing insurance policies; and
b) no outstanding liabilities associated with the business of insurance or has not issued
any insurance policy before filing an application for a certificate of dormancy. (Sec. 1)

3. Specifies dormant captive insurer does not include a captive risk retention group. (Sec. 1)

4. Asserts a certificate of dormancy is subject to renewal every five years and expires unless
renewed. (Sec. 5)

5. Delineates requirements for a captive insurer that is issued a certificate of dormancy.
(Sec. 5)

6. Allows the surrender of a certificate of dormancy by submitting an application to DIFI.
(Sec. 5)

7. Prohibits the dormant captive insurer from issuing insurance policies or conducting the
business of insurance until DIFI approves the application to surrender. (Sec. 5)

HB 2200: professional registration; reciprocity; endorsement
Sponsor: Representative Wilmeth, LD 2
Committee on Commerce

Overview
Outlines the qualifications for professional registration through reciprocity or endorsement.

History
The State Board of Technical Registration (BTR) provides for safety, health and welfare of

the public through the promulgation and enforcement of standards of qualification for those
individuals who are registered or certified and seeking registration or certification (A.R.S. §

32-101).

The BTR serves as a regulatory agency and regulates the professions of the alarm industry
(alarm agents and alarm businesses), architects, engineers, geologists, home inspectors,
landscape architects and land surveyors. The BTR reviews applications for these professions
and additionally accepts complaints from the public, alleging violations of the standards of
practice for these fields and creates policy statements for public guidance on welfare issues
related to the practice of these professions.

Individuals desiring to practice any board-regulated profession or occupation must apply for
such registration or certification with the BTR. Applicants for a professional registration as
an architect, engineer, geologist or landscape architect or land surveyor must pass the in-
training and professional examinations in the profession in which registration is sought. An
applicant for registration as an architect, engineer, geologist or landscape architect must be
actively engaged in education or experience, or both, in the profession for which registration
is sought for at least eight years while an applicant for land surveyor registration must be

HB 2371: planning; home design; restrictions; prohibition
Sponsor: Representative Biasiucci, LD 30
Committee on Commerce

Overview
Prescribes municipal restrictions relating to home design and development standards for

single-family homes.

History
Current statute requires each municipality's planning agency and governing body to prepare

and adopt, in coordination with the Arizona State Land Department, a comprehensive, long-
range general plan for the development of the municipality. The general plan must include a
statement of community goals and development policies, including maps and plan proposals
(A.R.S. § 9-461.05).

A municipal planning agency cannot require as part of a subdivision regulation or zoning
ordinance that a subdivider or developer establish an association. A municipality may require
a subdivider or developer to establish an association to maintain private, common or
community owned improvements that are approved and installed as part of a preliminary
plat, final plat or specific plan. A municipality cannot require that an association be formed
or operated other than for the maintenance of common areas or community owned property.
(A.R.S. § 9-461.15)

Municipalities, in order to conserve and promote the public health, safety and general
welfare, may adopt zoning ordinances that: 1) regulate the use of buildings, structures and
land between agriculture residence, industry and business; 2) regulate the location, height,
bulk, number of stories and size of buildings and structures, the size and use of lots, yards,
courts and other open spaces, the percentage of a lot that may be occupied by a building or
structure, access to incident solar energy and the intensity of land use; 3) establish
requirements for off-street parking and loading; 4) establish and maintain building setback
lines; and 5) establish floodplain and age-specific community zoning districts and districts of
historical significance (A.R.S. § 9-462.01).

Provisions

Home Design

1. Prohibits a municipality from interfering with a home buyer's right to choose the features,
amenities, structure, floor plan and interior and exterior design of a home. (Sec. 1)

2. Prohibits a municipality from requiring:

operate the feature or amenity, unless required by federal law;

42 percent of aspiring homeowners already can’t afford a
down payment. Are real estate investors making things
worse?

Published July 18, 2024
By TJ Porter Contributor, Personal Finance & Erik J. Martin Contributor, Personal Finance

Real estate has seen a lot of volatility over the past few years. Home prices have skyrocketed, mortgage rates
have remained high and the supply of homes for sale is still well below what a balanced market requires.

Many factors have influenced this unusual! housing market, of course. But one that affects the housing shortage
in particular is institutional real estate investment.

These large investment companies are exacerbating the home inventory shortage by buying up the most
affordable properties and renting them out, making it even harder for individuals and families, especially first-
time homebuyers, to get themselves onto the housing ladder.

What are institutional real estate investors?

Institutional investors are typically large companies (ie, institutions) looking to make an investment that
ultimately turns a profit. They can invest millions, or sometimes even billions, at a time.

These companies typically buy up sizable amounts of properties. An institutional investor might purchase 100
or more homes in a single city, creating a portfolio of properties that they can then rent out to tenants for a
profit.

“Most real estate investors are small players — people who have some extra cash and buy a rental property or
two to generate extra income and build wealth. Institutional investors, on the other hand, buy homes on a much
says Jeff Ostrowski, a prineipal writer for Bankrate, “iain

larger scale,’
ition Builders are delivering new single-family homes to investors rather than to individual
homebuyers.”

These investors are “certainly competing for homes — especially three-bedroom houses that are the bread and
butter of the U.S. housing market — and thereby pushing up prices to a degree,” Ostrowski says. “That said, the
housing market would be a challenging one for buyers even if institutional investors stopped buying
immediately.”

How investors affect housing inventory
Some fear that investors are creating a long-term shortage of inventory in these markets. “When a hedge fund
comes in and buys up a bunch of single-family properties, those houses are gone,” says Doug Greene, owner of
Philadelphia-based Signature Properties. “And if they ever decide to sell, it will be to another large institution,
which means they may never come back onto the market for the regular homebuyer.”

What homebuyers can do

There is still hope for house hunters, though. Even if you live in a market where real estate investors have taken
up a lot of the inventory, here are a few things you can do to improve your chances of buying a home.

e Sweeten your offer: Cash deals are part of what makes corporate homebuyers so appealing to sellers.
While all-cash offers are out of reach for most people, companies like Ribbon and Flyhomes will
finance what amounts to an all-cash offer for you, which can help your offer stand out in a crowd. You
can also reduce the financing risk sellers face by offering a larger down payment — there are many
down payment assistance programs out there to help up the amount you can put down. “Additionally,
make sure to get a preapproval for financing so that you can move quickly,” says Ostrowski.

e Go light on contingencies: Make it easier for a seller to say yes by lessening the amount of conditions
you place on the purchase. Waiving certain contingencies, such as the home inspection, can be risky, but
it can be done without getting burned if it helps you compete. Being flexible in other ways, such as
letting the seller dictate the closing timeline, can also help.

e Expand your horizons: If you’re looking in a truly tough town, you may want to consider options in a
less expensive housing market. Finding success with a purchase outside your initial search zone will
give you the chance to start building equity — and you may eventually be able to trade up to a home in
your desired area.

e Reconsider your needs: Choosing a condo or townhome instead of a single-family detached home can
get you on the homeownership track more quickly and help you begin building equity for a much lower
entry price. Many young buyers have gotten even more creative with homeownership: 10 percent of
millennials (ages 28-43) have purchased a home with a friend, and 7 percent have bought with a relative
other than their spouse or domestic partner, according to a recent Bankrate study. Also, “think about
buying a duplex or a triplex and renting out part of the property to help cover your mortgage,”
Ostrowski says.

Bottom line

Working closely with an experienced local real estate agent can help house-
hunters find options that work for their budget and needs, improving your chances of finding the right home for
the right price.

* AZNA estimates there are likely 75,000 STRs in AZ. Though AirDNA recently added a number of marketers to their surveys besides Airbnb and VRBO, there are many,
many others. Also, more and more STR operators are listing privately to avoid fees. AZ doesn't require platforms to list properties on their TPT tox remittances,

and no mechanism exists to enforce the license requirement. Result: only about 5500 TPT licenses have been issued for ail AZ STRs os of 6/30/24 — a 7-8% compliance rate.

AirDNA's Definitions of Listings:

WOW 1K) MAKE AZ 5G SHRTGE WORSE - 250127

STR Listings are short-term rentals that were "available to be booked or received a booking for at least 1 day in the previous month.”

In 2016, Senate Bill 1350 opened the floodgates for short

WHY ARE THERE ONLY 5500 TPT LICENSES?
