Scottsdale citizens deserve the respect of city planners and investment developers. Proposed developments should be fully transparent, constructively announced/noticed to the widest affected community and should provide opportunity for public input that could improve the quality of the project. Citizens expect preservation of a predictable quality of life not compromised by changes to current land use designations or design standards that are inappropriate with, or incompatible to, the surrounding area. Growth and change can be positive for our city, but only with decisions that are sensitive to the current quality of life for existing residents, businesses, and neighborhoods.
