• Single stairway developments, recently chronicled in the ABJ, are allowed

• Homes in some areas face higher regulations due to fire and wildlife concerns

• Hempcrete, a plant-based construction material, is now allowed

• Electric vehicle charging stations will be required of some builders

• And pest control in apartment complexes must now include services to beat back bed bugs and scorpions
