LEARN ABOUT THE DRAFT 2050 GENERAL PLAN!
The 2050 General Plan is Mesa’s long-range visioning document and will help shape the future of our community. Mesa’s General Plan is a living document that combines community feedback and best practices to create a visionary framework for the future growth of the City.
Public comment has been reviewed and integrated into the Tomorrow's Mesa 2050 General Plan Adoption Draft, and appendices, available within the documents list at right. Planning and Zoning Board and City Council hearings are planned in April and May, and these dates are included on the Tomorrow's Mesa homepage, and on the City of Mesa website. If approved by the Mesa City Council, Mesa Residents will vote on the plan at the November 2024 election.
The General Plan is the overarching policy document that expresses the community’s vision and guides decisions on development, land use, transportation, open space and recreation, cultural amenities, the environment, city services, and more through 2050.

This initial stage sets the foundation for Tomorrow’s Mesa by hosting conversations with the community (via one-on-one/small group interviews, at informational booths, and through an online questionnaire). Depending on participant preferences, interviews will take place in person (with an option to join online/by phone) at key locations across the City’s six districts.
Vision Setting (Apr-May 2023)

Building on community input from the first stage of engagement, this second stage will seek input on a community vision for the future of Mesa. Developing a strong community vision for Mesa (i.e., one that responds to and represents how the community wants to be in the future) ensures that policies and programs are shaped by and for the community.
Choices and Priorities (May-Oct 2023)

The workshops will be an immersive workshop experience to visualize and evaluate choices for different land uses across Mesa. Results from this stage will inform goals and implementation strategies for the General Plan Update.
