The city has established a series of processes and regulations that build upon each other and culminate in a built environment that fits with Scottsdale's needs and vision.
These processes are regularly reviewed and updated. Scottsdale is currently preparing for several key updates to the foundation of this pyramid.
Don't Miss It!
Downtown Plan Update
The majority of the original implementation programs (identified by the plan) have been achieved, but public policy, market conditions and building technologies have changed, resulting in the need to reevaluate and update long-range policies.
Community Area Planning
The General Plan and the Community Plans work together to provide a framework for guiding development in Scottsdale. The General Plan 2011 Update will be built upon the 6 community area plans that will be developed over the next few years.
Transportation Master Plan
The Transportation Master Plan was unanimously adopted by the Scottsdale City Council on January 8, 2008. The Master Plan is the first comprehensive look at the city’s entire transportation system since the 1980’s. The Transportation Master Plan works from the goals outlined in the city’s 2001 General Plan to identify specific projects and programs to address transportation needs and objectives.
Future Updates
2011 General Plan Update - The overarching policy document for the city:
- Last updated in 2001 and ratified by the citizens in 2002

- The process of updating the General Plan takes an average of 3-5 years
