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.  The City of Scottsdale began with updating the existing Downtown Plan, but will begin having public workshops for the Southern Scottsdale and Greater Airpark areas in the Spring of 2008.

    • Our build out numbers are projected to be about 271,000 residents, 144,000 dwelling units and 231,000 jobs. These numbers derive under the assumption that Scottsdale will acquire and preserve all of the open space acreage that our voters have approved. If so, we should reach a built out condition sometime between 2018 and 2020. The spread would result from rather simple economic dynamics; i.e., as the supply (available developable land) decreases, the price increases and demand decreases. If Scottsdale were not to purchase any further acreage for our McDowell Mountain / Desert Open Space Preserve, we could be looking at a build out resident population between 295,000 to 310,000 people sometime between 2025 and 2030.
