A controversial effort to preserve large rural land tracts in northern Scottsdale that helped sink the last General Plan update effort has reemerged this year in City Council’s attempts to craft a new plan.
Scottsdale has not received voter approval of a new General Plan – the city’s primary long-term planning document – since 2002.
Voters shot down a proposal at the polls in 2012 and Council axed a second update in 2016, nullifying four years of work by city staff and residents who helped develop the new document.
