The Peoria Planning and Zoning Commission as well as the City Council considered a number of minor general plan amendments recently.
But that doesn’t necessarily mean the city is seeing a rapid influx of new development.
If anything, blame the fact that the final version of the general plan is about to be put on the ballot.
The general plan is a municipality’s road map to how the city will look in the years to come and establishes the vision and guidance for current and future development. The plan must be updated every 10 years and be voter-approved, according to Arizona state law.
