What is Planning?

Planning is a continuous process to guide the preservation and development of our neighborhoods, the community, and the region. To Oro Valley citizens planning must be comprehensive, pragmatic and continuous; it must deal with all aspects of development; and it must provide practical answers to development questions. Our work complies with the statutory requirements and incorporates the community’s vision. Planning is the first step in the preparation of development regulations, which put into practice the goals stated in the community’s plan.

The planning process involves community members working together to develop a vision. The Oro Valley vision is stated in Focus 2020: Oro Valley General Plan. This process involves professionals providing information, citizens’ expressing desires and needs, and elected officials ensuring the implementation of shared goals.
