Come back on September 22 to read and comment on the draft plan.


Oro Valley strives to positively impact the environment and lead by example through education and other efforts. These include promoting energy efficiency, recycling, reducing air pollution, and other efforts that will ultimately make Oro Valley cleaner and more sustainable.

Our priorities that shaped this part of the Plan:

  • Increasing recycling programs, including composting
  • Encouraging solar and energy efficient appliances
  • Reducing the heat island effect with landscaping and building materials

The guiding principle provides the foundation for building goals, policies, and action. It represents the desires of our community.

Incorporate strategies for sustainability:

  • Promote waste reduction and recycling programs to increase community participation
  • Encourage the use of solar and energy efficiency technology
  • Reduce the heat island effect through landscaping, building materials, and design
  • Reduce carbon emissions by encouraging the use of electric vehicles, public transit, & other low-carbon transportation options

Goal N: Heat Mitigation.
Goal O: Energy Efficiency.
Reduce heat absorption through building design, landscaping, and unpaved surfaces.
Promote energy efficiency and responsible waste management strategies to make the Town more sustainable.








Goal P: Utilities.

Provide sustainable and innovative public services and utilities that serve the current and future needs of the community.
