Concerned about the state’s request to place new commercial and resort/tourism zoning on Scottsdale Road and other scenic corridors? Concerned about the impact commercial zoning will have on Scottsdale’s Scenic Drive and your neighborhood? Look south on Scottsdale Road. What do you see? Concerned?

This meeting is an opportunity for you and your neighbors to learn and ask questions about proposals that will shape the character and future of north Scottsdale and the completion of the the city’s McDowell Sonoran Presrve.

Is there an alternative to these proposals? Has anyone considered them?
