The City of Mesa continues to modernize its development review process, cutting red tape and consolidating department review functions to deliver faster approvals and greater transparency for builders, businesses, investors and residents.
“These ongoing reforms send a clear message: Mesa is serious about smart, healthy growth that benefits everyone,” said Mayor Mark Freeman. “By cutting red tape and removing barriers for our business community, we make it easier for companies to invest, create jobs for our residents, expand our tax base and strengthen a healthy local economy.”
The changes are initial steps that follow comprehensive stakeholder engagement efforts and an evaluation of City processes, both of which identified opportunities to better align and streamline processes across the City’s development review functions.
The result is a significant overhaul of Mesa’s development review approach. Improvements include consolidated review teams, dedicated support staff and new technology that gives applicants real-time visibility into their project status, all while maintaining safety, design and community standards.
