Scottsdale General Plan 2035
The General Plan serves as the principal tool for shaping the city’s future. Within its pages, you’ll find the collective goals and policies of the community, addressing various aspects such as urban design, land use, green spaces, the natural environment, economic development, neighborhood vitality, transportation, and growth. Beyond the physical layout of the city, the General Plan also encompasses considerations like community services, preservation of desert and mountain lands, and the character of neighborhoods.
This General Plan plays three crucial roles:
- It embodies the community’s vision, aspirations, values, and objectives.
- It acts as a practical guide for daily, short-term, and long-term decision-making.
- It fulfills both state and City Charter legal obligations.
The Scottsdale General Plan 2035 was officially adopted by the City Council on June 8, 2021, and later ratified by the Scottsdale voters in November 2021, as mandated by state statutes.
Why Choose Turf in Scottsdale?
Scottsdale Water is dedicated to making lasting reductions in water consumption, all while staying aligned with the Scottsdale General Plan 2035 and the principles of sustainability. Every year, they assess the effectiveness and performance of rebates, tailoring them to address the areas with the highest water consumption within the Scottsdale Water service region. Their aim is to encourage and reward water efficiency, thus contributing to the conservation of our water supply and the preservation of the breathtaking Sonoran Desert landscape.
On average, American households set aside roughly $50 to $80 per month for their water bills. However, when you take into account extra costs like yard maintenance, such as weeding and mowing, these expenses can quickly accumulate. If you’re aiming to cut down on your expenses while simultaneously contributing to water conservation efforts, it’s a wise choice to contemplate switching to an artificial grass lawn.
The transition to artificial grass offers a range of significant advantages. It has the potential to result in yearly savings of up to $10,000 and, at the same time, allow you to conserve an impressive 22,000 gallons of water annually.
Scottsdale's Incentive Program
Per ordinance, all grass removal rebates must receive a pre-inspection and a notice to
proceed from the water conservation office before removing any grass.
You can apply to replace your grassy yard with a water-saving landscape and receive up to $5,000 from the City of Scottsdale.
Rebates have certain eligibility criteria:
Rebates are not provided retroactively. Even if you have before and after photos, previously removed grass doesn’t qualify.
The property receiving the grass removal service must be a recipient of Scottsdale Water services.
A minimum of 500 square feet of existing, living grass must be removed, unless the minimum requirement is waived. If all remaining grass on the property is eliminated, the 500 sq. ft. minimum is waived.
You can combine multiple areas to meet the minimum square footage.
The measurements from artificial turf vendors may differ, as they may account for curves and cuts. However, the official rebate measurement is based solely on the amount of grass removed, as determined by Conservation.
For grass to count toward the 500 sq. ft. removal minimum, it must be growing at a minimum of 50% density and have a permanent, functioning, and scheduled irrigation system. “Scheduled” means there is a consistent watering routine, as indicated by historical water usage
