Development will be among the top issues city leaders will wrestle with in 2024 according to a consensus of Scottsdale City Council members.
Other primary issues look to be continuing include to crack down on short-term rentals, parking in Old Town and water conservation.
Council Woman Betty Janik said water usage and development run together.
“It fits into the narrative of how much responsibility for reducing your water use rests on the residents and how they feel about big development using the water when they are expected to reduce the use,” Janik said. “It’s the same old, some old. Do we want development knowing they use more water? Should we just stop the development, slow it down or not do the zoning changes?”
