Please come back on September 22 to read and comment on the draft plan.
State law requires every 10-year plan to include a process for amending it. Changing conditions may warrant a comprehensive update or amendments to portions of the Plan on a more frequent basis as determined by the Town Council.
Every year, applications are typically made to the Town of Oro Valley for amendments to the General Plan. These requests most often concern changes to the Town’s Land Use Map and generate a significant amount of interest within the community.
Anticipated Requests to Change the Land Use Map
While creating Oro Valley’s Path Forward, several property owners requested changes to their land use designations. These changes would not grant new property rights, but would provide a pathway to rezone their properties for new development rights.
Residents considered these requests but determined they should be addressed through the Plan amendment process to ensure community engagement with nearby residents. Examples of anticipated requests include:
Areas with significant amounts of vacant commercial land
Large residential lots along major roadways like Oracle Road and Tangerine Road
As the General Plan provides primary guidance for future decision-making, the procedures for amendments include significant public outreach that provides for meaningful public involvement in the amendment process. Part of this public involvement includes neighborhood meetings. These meetings are intended to inform and educate residents. Town staff assists in building consensus between applicants and neighbors. The specific procedures for amendment to the General Plan are also in the Oro Valley Zoning Code Revised (OVZCR).
