Tempe has scheduled two meetings for Wednesday when the public can comment on a plan being developed to chart the city’s vision for the future.
An in-person meeting will take place 5:30-7 p.m. May 17 at the Tempe History Museum, 809 W. Southern Ave. A virtual meeting is set for noon the same day.
The general plan is the “overarching policy document for the City of Tempe,” officials said in a release.
“It reflects the community’s vision for the future and is an expression of how the community wants to grow and change over the next 30 years.”
The plan guides how Tempe plans for development, land use, transportation, mass transit, economic development, historic preservation, neighborhood enhancement, public art, cultural amenities, human services, recreation and open space.
It also guides the city “in planning for sustainability, climate change, environmental improvements and in achieving a good quality of life and community well-being,” Tempe officials said.
All Arizona cities are required to update their general plans every 10 years.
