Paradise Valley Town Attorney Andrew Miller delivered to the local governing board Thursday, Sept. 13 a formal update to Hillside Development Regulations.
The presentation, which was offered at Town Hall, 6401 E. Lincoln Drive, served as an outline for Paradise Valley Town Council defining Hillside code definitions, a new pre-application process and defined criteria for removing a property from the Hillside development designation.
Hillside lots within Paradise Valley town limits are those found in areas with a slope of 10 percent or greater, or designated as Hillside by town code.
According to town officials, the ongoing Hillside update dates back to 2015, when it was re-emphasized and included in the 2016 Town Council Quality of Life Initiatives. As part of that effort, a community conversation was held in April 2016 where safety was a central theme.
