The Chandler City Council approved an area development plan Thursday that’s expected to be useful for 10 to 20 years.
Packed with guidelines on what should be built where in the 2.4-square-mile area, the Downtown Region Area Plan was a large project involving staff, public and business input, and the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission. It’s a guideline document meant to help how Chandler’s downtown will look and be shaped in the years ahead.
Senior planner Alisa Petterson took Council questions Oct. 13 about recent small changes to the plan. One of those regarded what the plan refers to as “gateway intersections.”
