Sponsor: Representative Bliss, LD 1
House Engrossed
Overview
Authorizes the governing body of a municipality to submit a new general plan if the municipality is within population and growth rate requirements.
History
General plans are a statement by municipalities of land development policies, which may include maps, graphs and information about objectives, principals and standards for local growth and redevelopment. A municipality's general plan is adopted by resolution of their governing body. General plans are effective for up to 10 years after initial adoption and ratification. On or before the 10th anniversary of a general plan, the governing body must either readopt the plan or adopt a new general plan. Any city or town with a population greater than 2,500, but less than 10,000, with a population growth rate exceeding 2%, and any city or town with a population greater than 10,000 must submit each new general plan that is adopted to the voters for ratification (A.R.S. ยงยง 9-461, 9-461.06).
