Tempe’s Development Review Commission has recommended that city council approve the updated General Plan 2050 in August, despite community concern for the city’s growing population and a lack of housing.
General plans provide cities with guiding policies for city land use, and Tempe is in the process of developing its latest plan.
In Tempe, the city uses it to guide physical and economic development, land use, sustainability, transportation, historic preservation, neighborhood enhancement, open space and recreation, public art and cultural amenities and human services.
