Major Amendments to the Surprise General Plan 2035
2019 Annual Amendment Cycle
The city of Surprise is considering Major Amendments to its General Plan 2035 related to transportation and growth, and the public is invited to several upcoming meetings to provide comment.
The proposed updates affect three elements of the General Plan 2035:
- Roadway Systems Element and Transit Element within “Chapter 3: Transportation” to reflect updated roadway maps and policy changes associated with the recent Transit Feasibility Study and Transit-Oriented Development Strategic Plan.
- Growth Element to reflect changes in the housing market.
- Extending Surprise Municipal Planning Area as shown in the Land Use Map.
This Major Amendment includes expanding the Surprise Planning Area Boundary near the White Tank Mountains. If the proposed boundary is approved, all other maps that do not have substantive changes within the General Plan 2035 will also be updated.
