(COURTESY CITY OF SCOTTSDALE)
By YourValley
Residents with an opinion of what Old Town Scottsdale should look like will get their chance to voice those thoughts this week.
The city is holding open houses for residents to share their opinions on the Old Town Scottsdale Urban Design & Architectural Guidelines updates from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 10, and from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., Thursday, July 11. Both meetings will be held at the Scottsdale Community Design Studio, 7506 E. Indian School Rd.
Additionally, residents can still get a copy of the report at eservices.scottsdaleaz.gov/planning/projectsummary/dr_reports/DR_15_DR_2024.pdf and share their opinions with Scottsdale Long-term Planner Taylor Reynolds at Treynolds@ScottsdaleAZ.gov.
The Development Review Board is then scheduled to vote on the proposed changes during its Aug. 1 meeting.
Changes under consideration include:
• There should be 2,500 square feet of ground level open space set aside at major intersections when a developer is requesting development bonuses, like increased height.
• New development should scale height and intensity away from the Old Town core area.
