Ep. 82 - Zoned and Confused: 6 Land Use Trends Reshaping Arizona

Arizona is growing—and the rules for getting that growth built are changing fast. In this episode, Adam Baugh takes a look at six land use trends reshaping Arizona in 2026, from the growing tug-of-war between state and local control to infrastructure-driven entitlements, data center battles, creative housing products, adaptive reuse and the continued evolution of PAD zoning. Whether you're a developer, landowner, planner, attorney, elected official—or someone who simply enjoys watching a good zoning hearing—this episode breaks down what's changing, why it matters, and what developers should be thinking about before they ever submit the application.
