Signs of recovery are starting to appear, making now a great time to begin the rezoning process for your property. Depending on the complexity of the project and the jurisdiction in which it is located, the entitlement process could take as long as a year to complete. Beginning the preliminary site planning and preparing the necessary zoning documents today will put you in a position to break ground at the first sign of the market upswing.
Rezoning your property today:
•
Allows you to pursue alternate land uses in response to market demands.
•
May lead to an increase in property values.
•
May convince a jurisdiction to be flexible with zoning changes/conditions if they see it leading to increased tax revenue.

City of Bisbee Historic District Design Guidelines Update
The Planning Center is preparing an update for the City of Nogales' General Plan. The plan will incorporate sustainable principles of design and guide development, infill, revitalization, historic preservation and redevelopment efforts for the City. This project will allow the City of Nogales to become Arizona's premier international port of entry by establishing the policy direction necessary to accomplish the community's land use, economic development, historic preservation, environmental resource preservation, parks and recreation and sustainable goals. This process will solidify the city's long-term viability and livability based on the community vision and thorough analysis of opportunities and constraints.
The process will include a several day design charrette with representatives from Ambos (both) Nogales, the community and all applicable federal, state, regional and local agencies.
