Scottsdale unveils draft of new downtown plan
Scottsdale unveiled a vision for downtown that includes a more urban setting with taller buildings, better access for walkers and transit riders, and a continued dedication to arts and medical uses.
Also emphasized in the plan is the desire to preserve the historic Old Town and Marshall Way districts without allowing additional height.
The city will be seeking public feedback with public hearings to start in September.
The draft version of the downtown plan supports increasing the roughly 700-acre downtown area in five areas, which would allow for greater flexibility in development, including greater height.
Also included in the plan is the continuation of free parking and encouraging mixed-use development, with a shop or office on the first floor and residences above.
