2022 General Plan
What's the General Plan?
The General Plan is a long-range tool for guiding the future of the Town through a series of goals, policies, and actions covering various elements (e.g., land use, open space, etc.) which further the Town’s vision & values which include maintaining its primarily one-acre, residential community, limited government, sense of community, partnerships with existing schools and resorts, aesthetics, and natural open space.
How often is the General Plan Updated?
State law (A.R.S. §9-461.05) requires that every Arizona municipality adopt a general plan that must also be updated and readopted by voters every ten years. The Town’s first General Plan was adopted in 1980 with subsequent updates in 1997, 2001, 2003, 2012 and most recently in 2022. Building from the previous General Plans, the 2022 General Plan addresses key topics such as land use, community character, circulation, open space, environment, sustainability and public facilities and services.
