Board of Adjustments - June, 3 2026

The Scottsdale Arizona Board of Adjustments held a meeting on June 3, 2026, primarily to consider a disability accommodation request related to zoning ordinance separation requirements for care homes. The applicant sought to reduce the required separation distance between care homes from 1,200 feet to 400 feet to allow operation of an eight-bed women's recovery residence, exceeding the current limit of six residents. Staff presented the case, noting compliance with zoning and licensing standards, and the applicant emphasized the need for more female recovery beds in Scottsdale. Public concerns focused on parking, noise, and neighborhood impact. Board members discussed the legal and zoning implications, including whether occupancy limits could be stipulated, and ultimately voted to enter an executive session for legal consultation before continuing deliberations and voting on the accommodation request. No final vote on the accommodation was recorded in the transcript.
