Major Scottsdale development projects can go through months, or even years, of city review before they reach the City Council, but much of those discussions take place behind closed doors.
The Progress recently sat in on a pre-application meeting – one of the first steps – for a proposed redevelopment project in downtown Scottsdale following an invitation from developer Carter Unger.
Before the developer even submits actual plans, the pre-application meeting gives city staff a 50,000-foot view of the proposal.
