Discussion item only. SUBJECT: Study Session regarding the Town General Plan update LOCATION: Town-wide APPLICANT: Michael Baker International & Town of Sahuarita BACKGROUND: On January 22, 2024, the Town Council approved a contract with Michael Baker International consultants to assist the Town with updating the General Plan. The Town of Sahuarita’s existing General Plan was approved by the Town Council and the Sahuarita community in 2015. Arizona Revised Statutes require the Town to update and obtain voter approval for the Town General Plan every ten years. Planning staff and the consultant will ensure conformance with the statutory requirements for a General Plan update. The contract will span three fiscal years and will include a robust public engagement component. The General Plan is a comprehensive, long-term guide to the Town’s future. It provides goals and policies to assist the Town with future development, reflecting the public’s vision for their community. It is an official document for the Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Council to reference when making decisions on growth and development for the community, helping to guide the Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Council in land use decisions.
