  Scottsdale Downtown Plan Update Process Continues with
  March 19 Preferred Plan Public Workshop

 


As part of the Downtown Plan Update process, community representatives are invited to attend a March 19 preferred Downtown Plan public workshop from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Granite Reef Senior Center, Room 1, 1700 N. Granite Reef Road to evaluate and discuss the policies that will affect the future of Downtown Scottsdale for the next decade.  Topics will include:

  • History
  • Mobility
  • Land Use
  • Arts & Culture
  • Urban Design
  • Sustainability
  • Economic Viability

Scottsdale's Downtown has seen more than $3.3 billion in private and public investment since 2003.    To maintain this momentum and to ensure the Downtown is positioned to meet the challenges of a changing and dynamic economy, the city is updating the Downtown Plan -- which provides the vision, the design guidelines and the framework for any policy changes that will be implemented in the next 10-15 years. 

Community participation is vital to ensure that the vision for Downtown Scottsdale is adequately represented in the plan.  People that have or have not participated in prior events are strongly encouraged to attend.  An area will be provided for children so parents can fully participate in the workshop activities.

March 19 Workshop registration is encouraged by March 14:

An overview of the Downtown Plan update process to date is available on the city’s website at: http://www.scottsdaleaz.gov/downtown/updates.  The website will be updated regularly to reflect community findings/input as the process proceeds. The update process is slated to conclude with formal adoption of the Downtown Plan in the Spring of 2008.
