Urban Villages

Village Planning Committees

How to Participate

The urban villages are based on the Phoenix General Plan whichwas adopted to guide the urban form of the city while meeting thecommunity's desires for a well-planned city with a sense of place.Three key principles of the General Plan are:

balance housing and employmentconcentrate intensity in village corespromote the unique character of each village

Each village has a core which serves as the focal point of thevillage by combining the most intense land uses with a greatvariety of uses. By providing a mix of employment, housing andretail opportunities, this village "downtown" creates a physicalidentity for the residents. It should also serve as a gathering placewith pedestrian activity and a focus for the local transportationsystem. The core should reflect the character and land useintensity of the village it supports.

Each village has its own village planning committee whichrepresents the interests of local residents. The village planningcommittees helped develop the General Plan for Phoenix. Theyreview and comment on General Plan amendments, zoningordinance text amendments, and rezoning requests and sometimesassist the City of Phoenix Planning Department in developingplans for areas within the village. The committees are a vital linkbetween the community and city decision makers.

Village planning committees are volunteers appointed by CityCouncil and their recommendations are advisory in nature. TheCouncil strives to create well-balanced committees whichrepresent the people who live and work in all segments andgeographic areas of the village. The 15-21 members of eachvillage committee typically meet once a month in the evening.Some also have active subcommittees.

All village committee meetings are open to the public. Theiragendas can be found on the Internet at:(Public Meeting Notices and Agendas). Each committee is staffedby a planner who can provide additional information aboutattending meetings or becoming a member. For more informationcall the Phoenix Planning Department at:
