- A general plan is a detailed document that describes what a city expects to become & how best to accomplish its objectives.
- It considers how the community will be structured, how it will grow, operate & how it will serve its citizens over the next 20-30 years.
- A general plan is not the "law". It is an advisory document that helps provide direction & focus for city leaders as they legislate & administer laws & ordinances.
Why update the general plan?
- West Valley City has grown & changed significantly since the last general plan update in 2000. The city is much larger & much more diverse that it was a decade ago.
- Home & land values have risen sharply. Homes are being built in areas that weren't anticipated in the last general plan.
- The Mountain View Corridor highway, bus rapid transit along 3500 South, & light rail will be under construction soon, requiring the City to examine the impacts of these projects.
