This report provides information to the City Council regarding the first phase of the Phoenix General Plan Update project.

This item is for information only. No City Council action is required.

Action Taken:

Planning Director Debra Stark introduced the item and Program Manager Carol Johnson.

Ms. Johnson commented on the Planning Department’s work on the General Plan, noting the plan was a living document intended to be updated to meet the City’s continually changing needs. She discussed the underlying municipal, state, and federal policies and trends that served to guide the Plan’s overall strategy.

Mayor Gordon interjected the General Plan ratification election would be held in August 2011. Ms. Johnson confirmed the ratification election date.

Ms. Johnson noted the plan included considerations on livability principles from the Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the Department of Transportation. She added the Plan also included Green Phoenix initiatives geared toward enhancing the City’s environmental sustainability. Ms. Johnson stated the General Plan was a comprehensive guide for all physical aspects of the City and reviewed state requirements, implementation timelines, and the Plan’s seventeen required elements.

Mayor Gordon inquired about the Plan’s proposed implementation timeline. Ms. Johnson replied the Plan would need to be completed this year to meet the scheduled deadline, noting current work on the Plan was the initial phase of a longer, more detailed plan. Ms. Johnson added the General Plan was a visioning process that would utilize existing village planning processes to develop a common goal for the City.

Ms. Johnson identified proposed improvements to the General Plan, including ongoing monitoring and annual updating, latitude for adaptability, established performance indicators, and comprehensive implementation strategy. She indicated the Plan’s new organization incorporated four focus areas including community, economy, environment, and infrastructure. Ms. Johnson then reviewed process deadlines and discussed the department’s vision planning processes. She noted City residents can access the General Plan via the Internet to provide feedback, send in comments, and participate in Village Visioning Workshops.

Mayor Gordon asked staff to provide Council members with Village Visioning Workshop timelines. Ms. Stark noted staff had already set up individual meetings with Council members to go over the General Plan and would also provide workshop details as requested.

Councilwoman Neely inquired about City population and land size projections for 2050. Ms. Johnson responded there would not be a significant physical land increase for the City and noted mathematical estimations for City population growth were approximately 3 million residents by 2030. Ms. Johnson added revised population projections would be available after the 2010 Census.

Councilwoman Neely acknowledged the General Plan’s utility and considerable improvements, but noted the importance of including appropriate strategies for the City’s unincorporated areas. Councilwoman Neely commented on the importance of including S-1 designation considerations in planning strategies.

Councilwoman Williams suggested including General Plan considerations for surrounding cities’ planning efforts to mitigate future planning and development challenges.

Councilwoman Neely commented on the need for General Plan considerations to address infrastructure limitations north of the Carefree Highway in District 2.

Councilman DiCiccio thanked staff for their active involvement with community villages. He commented on the importance of enhancing neighborhoods while remaining cognizant of potential business development and job creation opportunities. Councilman DiCiccio supported the General Plan’s designation as a living document, noting such a plan should be flexible enough to adapt to the City’s changing economic needs.

Mayor Gordon inquired about the timeline for City redistricting. City Attorney Gary Verburg replied redistricting would occur after the 2010 Census. Mr. Naimark clarified the redistricting would take place in 2011.

Mayor Gordon stated if voters approve the Plan, then the City would adopt the new General Plan. He remarked if voters did not approve the plan, then the existing General Plan would remain in place. Ms. Johnson added if the plan was not approved, then it would be revised and resubmitted for the next election cycle.

Ms. Greta Rogers, resident, did not support a 40-year General Plan for the City. Ms. Rogers commented on the benefits of a shorter planning period and proposed an alternate planning model.
