Oro Valley residents’ plan for the next 10 years continues to take shape. More than 10,600 resident comments have been submitted so far to help create the community’s next 10-year action plan. The 90% draft, also referred to as the Resident Recommended Draft, reflects community input gathered over the past two years.
Built by resident participation
Whether residents completed the BIG Community Survey, visited outreach booths, shared comments online, or participated in resident working groups, that input helped shape the draft plan. The document includes more than 278 proposed actions to be implemented over a 10-year period, intended to maintain or advance the community’s shared values and expectations.
What changed in the 90% draft
Feedback from the BIG Community Review largely echoed priorities already reflected in the plan, suggesting the draft is aligned with resident values. While the BIG Community Review draft and the 90% draft are very similar, resident comments led to refinements intended to improve clarity, accuracy, and completeness.
Key updates include:
- Eight new actions addressing emergency services, intergenerational programs, senior task forces, trails, the Overlook Restaurant, water use, and the Vistoso Trails Nature Preserve
- Expanded goals, policies, and actions to better reflect resident intent
- Updated implementation timeframes to improve accuracy
The Resident Recommended Draft will be shared with surrounding jurisdictions and agencies to support regional coordination and meet legal requirements. A Final Resident Draft will then be presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission during two public hearings in April, followed by Town Council consideration in May.
Residents are encouraged to attend and speak at each public hearing. Town Council approval would allow the plan to be placed on the November ballot for voter consideration.
