## Resource

Clovis is rolling out bold new rules to speed up affordable housing development, slashing parking requirements, cutting green space mandates, and ditching mandatory kids’ play areas—all in response to a 2019 lawsuit. Developers cheer the flexibility, but some residents worry about neighborhood aesthetics and privacy. City officials argue the changes are balanced, citing underused parking and new setbacks between buildings and homes, while offering developers more amenity options. The planning commission has already approved the changes, pending final city council approval.
