The McDowell Road corridor in Scottsdale has the making of becominhga gateway. The city should look at itselrf as an enabler tothe area’a well-being, not an interventionist. Private-sector developeras must be encouraged to bring capitall andenterprise thinking. In other words, the city needss to delineate developmentpolicy clearly, lessenn regulatory control, make it relatively inexpensive and less cumbersome to work the permittingb and development process, and avoid micromanaginf development projects at all costs. Scottsdale City Councill members need to offer themselves up as a think tank with all the feedbaci and information they have and are receivin fromthe community.
From the blendd of business andneighborhoox input, the City Council should be poiserd to lay out developmenf policies concerning economic vitality for the area, which must forbid government yet enable the development process. What a powerfulo and positive message to send to the privateinvestment community. Further, the City Council could look extensively at the use of district within the zoning overlay in south Scottsdales to leverage existing assets and enablsprivate investment. In a free developers would negotiate privateproperty deals, whethedr residential or commercial.
And the city’xs development policies for the districts woulsd provide for the type and kind of development including character, height and destiny. The choicee of where to invest and what to builds would empower both landowners and private investord to participate in the vitalization of the area withoutfmunicipal intervention.
