Be a part of Scottsdale’s vision – provide feedback on the General Plan 2035 Update

Residents have plenty of opportunities to provide input on Scottsdale’s General Plan Update.

The plan is the primary tool for guiding the future of the city. It contains the community’s goals and policies on:

Character and design
Land use
Open space and the natural environment
Business and economics
Neighborhood vitality
Transportation and growth

The plan shapes the physical form of the city, yet it also addresses other aspects, such as community services, protection of desert and mountain lands, arts and culture, community health and well-being, and the character of neighborhoods.

Review the draft plan.

Here’s how you can participate:

Monday, March 8: 8:30-10 a.m., 11:30 p.m.-1 pm., 5:30-7 p.m. The same information will be presented at all sessions, so please choose one.

Public input is being collected through City Council consideration in adopting the draft plan; anticipated in June 2021. If the City Council decides to adopt the plan, it would be sent to voters on the November 2021 ballot.
