SUBJECT:
PRESENTATION AND FEEDBACK ON THE COMMUNITY COMMENT (60%) DRAFT OF THE COMMUNITY'S NEXT 10-YEAR ACTION
PLAN, KNOWN AS OV'S PATH FORWARD
RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for information and discussion purposes only.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The purpose of this item is to update the Water Utility Commission (WUC) on where OV's Path Forward is in the 3-year process and to
encourage commissioners to participate in the BIG Community Review. This is the first comprehensive draft of the plan that is available for
review by residents, stakeholders, board and commission members, and Town Council. The primary objective of the BIG Community Review is
to ensure the plan stays true to resident voices and results from Phase 1 of this planning effort.
In Phase 1, over 9,000 comments were collected from residents through the most extensive community engagement effort the Town has
conducted to date. Demonstrating that the plan adheres to residents' priorities will be the primary focus of educating and preparing voters for the
2026 election. These comments provided guidance for four Resident Working Groups to develop the draft goals, policies, and actions for the
Community Comment (60%) Draft in Phase 2.
Key Takeaways
The Community Comment (60%) Draft is out now for review and comment.
Commissioners may want to focus their comments on the water resource and conservation topics in the Sustainability
Chapter.
All comments that strengthen the plan's alignment with resident guidance and ensure the draft plan is on the right track
will be incorporated into the Resident Recommended (90%) Draft.
Commission members are tasked with providing their comments by October 31st, then participating in the Resident
Working Group meetings at the end of this year.
The draft will include several topics related to the quality of life for Oro Valley residents, such as parks, environment, development, and water
conservation.
For the meeting on October 13th, Commissioners may want to focus on the goals, policies, and actions under the Sustainability Chapter related
to Water Conservation and Resources. Examples that directly impact the commission's functions:
Goal R: Promote and increase efficient water use.
Goal S: Maintain responsible use of water resources for the current and future benefit of the community.
Policy S.1. Ensure the long-term water resource supply, quality, and groundwater conservation for present and future Water
Utility customers.
Action 165: Expand infrastructure and facilities that provide a diverse water supply portfolio, including Central Arizona Project
and reclaimed water.
The Community Comment (60%) Draft is now available for resident review and comment. Once all resident, stakeholder, board,
commission, and Town Council members' comments are collected, the final Resident Working Group meetings will take place. The purpose of
these meetings is to achieve consensus on the Resident Recommended (90%) Draft. This Resident Recommended (90%) Draft will be
presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Council next year for adoption. The last step will be ratification of the Final
Resident Draft by the voters in November 2026.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
The effort to create the next 10-year community action plan is divided into three phases. Residents are the top priority throughout each phase.
The effort to create the next 10-year community action plan is divided into three phases. Residents are the top priority throughout each phase.
All residents are invited to participate, get information, engage, and collaborate to create a plan that reflects the
majority of their voices. The goal of this effort is to empower residents to confidently vote on the plan in November
2026.
Working with residents to create the next 10-year action plan, also known as a general plan, launched in October
2023 with Phase 1: "Let's Talk." The Town's most comprehensive outreach was conducted during Phase 1 to
ensure the plan reflects the views of most residents.
Residents provided over 9,000 responses through a statistically representative survey, events, and online. Resident
values, priorities, and expectations for OV's future were surprisingly consistent across all three engagement tools.
This consistency provided a solid foundation for Resident Working Groups to begin transforming the insights
gathered in Phase 1 into draft goals, policies, and implementation actions.
Phase 2: "Let's Think" began in January 2025 with around 116 residents, each with varied experiences and
perspectives, who contributed further guidance to shape the draft plan in the Resident Working Groups. All Oro Valley residents were invited to
participate and had the opportunity to contribute to topics of interest through online discussions and meetings.
The number one priority is to make sure the draft plan aligns with the resident voices heard in Phase 1. Ensuring
this is achieved starts with the first BIG Community Review of the Community Comment (60%) Draft.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Creating the draft plan
The draft guiding principles, goals, policies, and actions are based on the substantial guidance provided in Phase 1 and the Resident Working
Group discussions. Resident Working Groups provided approximately 900 comments online and participated in 25 meetings to discuss the
resident guidance from Phase 1, draft guiding principles, comments provided by the Town Council, and each other's ideas to work towards
consensus on the initial draft. Staff from every Town department supported residents as they went through this process by providing
educational information, answering questions, and reviewing the draft goals, policies, and actions to make sure they would achieve residents'
intent.
Resident Working Group, stakeholder, board and commission, and Town Council comments on the draft goals, policies, and actions (30%
Draft) that aligned with resident guidance were incorporated into the Community Comment (60%) Draft. The purpose of the Community
Comment (60%) Draft is to provide residents, stakeholders, boards, and commissions with a comprehensive and refined version of the draft
10-year community action plan. It's crucial to share comments and ideas during this review period and attend the Resident Working
Group meetings before the Resident Recommended (90%) Draft is presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission and Town
Council.
OV’s Path Forward is unique because it is a predominantly web-based plan that anyone can access on OVPathForward.com. For those who
prefer a document, there is also a PDF supplement (Attachment 1). The PDF will be updated to include graphics and photos after the
community comment period.
Similar to the Resident Working Groups, the plan will be divided into four main chapters. Each chapter provides a brief overview of the existing
conditions and the resident guidance that shaped the plan.
For ease, each chapter is subsequently divided into topics important to the community, like public safety, environment, water resources,
and more. Each topic will include the associated goals, policies, and actions the Town will implement over the next 10 years.
The image below displays the four main chapters and associated topics:
In addition to the four main chapters, the plan includes
information about the state's legal requirements, including the required maps, and a chapter about amending the plan. The plan, specifically the
land use map, is anticipated to change over the next 10 years.
Community Review and Next Steps
The Community Comment (60%) Draft is being promoted to the wider community, including all boards and commissions, for review.
The goal of this discussion is to update and gather initial comments from the Water Utility Commission. For the meeting on October 13th,
Commissioners may want to focus on the goals, policies, and actions under the Sustainability Chapter related to Water Conservation and
Resources. Examples that directly impact the commission's functions:
Goal R: Promote and increase efficient water use.
Goal S: Maintain responsible use of water resources for the current and future benefit of the community.
Policy S.1. Ensure the long-term water resource supply, quality, and groundwater conservation for present and future Water
Utility customers.
Action 165: Expand infrastructure and facilities that provide a diverse water supply portfolio, including Central Arizona Project
and reclaimed water.
Once all comments are collected during this community review period, themes will be generated, and those that align with resident voices will
Once all comments are collected during this community review period, themes will be generated, and those that align with resident voices will
be incorporated into the revised Resident Recommended (90%) Draft, which the combined Resident Working Group will achieve consensus on
at its final meetings starting in December. It's essential that commissioners participate in the community review and attend the Resident
Working Group meetings, even if you were not able to attend any meetings last spring. The Resident Recommended (90%) Draft is to
be presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Council in spring 2026.
Here's a timeline of where the plan is and where it's heading:
SUMMARY
All comments can be submitted online at OVPathForward.com. Here, participants can view and navigate the web-based plan and use the
discussion tool at the bottom of each page to comment and collaborate with others. While reviewing, participants can also see the step-by-step
process of how residents created the draft plan so far. Similar to Phase 1, it is important that a broad range of residents participate in the BIG
Community Review. To increase convenience and accessibility, there are multiple ways for residents to comment on the draft plan:
HOW TO SUBMIT COMMENTS
Online via OVPathForward.com
Email: Send all your comments to OVPathForward@orovalleyaz.gov

Comments will be accepted until October 31st. Once consensus is achieved on the Resident Recommended (90%) Draft by the Resident
Working Groups, it will be presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission and then Town Council next year. The Final Resident Draft will
come to voters for ratification in November 2026.
