Neighborhood Planning

As a result of CityShape 2020 recommendations, Scottsdale has employed character-based General Planning. The character-based General Plan consists of three distinct and interrelated levels, including Citywide Planning (General Plan), Character Area Planning, and Neighborhood Planning.

Neighborhood planning results in the development and implementation of issue-based, action-oriented local plans that address neighborhoods’ physical environment, land use and infrastructure issues.  Neighborhood Plans generate a framework for partnership between residents, businesses and the City, encouraging collaboration and resulting in an enhanced sense of community.
