Council Subcommittee on General Plan Review - May 27th 2026

The City of Prescott Council Subcommittee on the General Plan Review convened on May 27, 2026, to discuss the structure, content, and schedule for updating the city's general plan. The meeting focused on reviewing draft plan outlines presented by HR Green, including options for organizing the plan's chapters either by individual statutory elements or grouped thematic chapters, with a consensus leaning toward the thematic grouping plus an added economic development chapter. The subcommittee emphasized compliance with Arizona Revised Statutes, public engagement strategies, and the inclusion of clear, legible maps and accessible design elements. They also discussed the timeline for completing the plan, targeting a 2027 adoption, and the need for additional public participation meetings due to expanded plan elements. No specific contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this meeting, but the discussion included coordination with the contracted consultant HR Green and considerations for future subcommittee meetings to review draft chapters incrementally.
