The Planning and Zoning Commission is gathering for a study session on June 6 to discuss proposed changes to the General Plan. This citywide master plan is a roadmap for decision-making on Peoria's long-term physical development. As reported by the city's official website, the meeting is set for 6 pm at the City Council Chamber.
The city's leading priorities—economic development, water security, innovative government, and public safety—are at the forefront of the proposed plan updates. As Peoria positions itself for continued growth and success, officials are proposing text and map refinements to the General Plan that strengthen the city's ability to attract new business, bolster local job growth, and back economic expansion. This move follows a study session with the City Council held on May 7, where a clip of the update is accessible on YouTube for those who missed it.
Moreover, Peoria citizens who wish to play an active role in shaping their city's trajectory have more opportunities to speak up. The Planning and Zoning Commission has scheduled two public hearings—the first on July 18 at the Rio Vista Recreation Center and a second one on August 15 back at the City Council Chamber. Each session is penciled in for 6 pm. Feedback gathered here will be valuable as the City Council prepares for its hearing on the amendments, slated for September 17 at the same venue.
For those Peorians craving more information or eager to study the proposed amendments in-depth, the specifics are laid out on the city's official General Plan website. To stay updated, visit peoriaaz.gov/generalplan.
