Approve the resolution authorizing the creation of a joint planning team between the Town and the City of Scottsdale.
Background
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
From time to time there are development projects that occur on or near the shared border between the Town of Paradise Valley and the City of Scottsdale. In these instances the impacts of those developments are not exclusively contained within the developing jurisdiction. Coordinating and collaborating between the two municipalities would help increase awareness and mitigate unforeseen impacts of the project.
This concept was tried informally once before and was found by those participating to be a benefit. It was discussed during a joint meeting of the Town Council and Scottsdale Council and suggested it be brought forward by each body in public session for full consideration. The attached resolution is put forth for that consideration. The intent is for a mix of staff, Planning Commission and Councilmembers to be involved to provide a variety of perspectives. The Council representative would rotate.
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
None
