City of Tucson - Government

09/11/2026

The City of Tucson is expanding options to address homelessness, and PDSD is updating the zoning rules that govern emergency shelters.

Working with the Drachman Institute at the University of Arizona’s College of Architecture, Tucson Planning and Development Services is hosting a walk-through exhibit on how those rules work today and what changes are under consideration.

No decisions have been made yet. Stop by, take a look, and tell us what you think.

Sunday, September 13, 2026, 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The Fourth Avenue Coalition Space, 311 E. 7th St. Drop in anytime.
