What is a General Plan?

A General Plan is a policy statement on how the community wants to develop. The General Plan is flexible to accommodate change and environmentally sensitive growth, while balancing the welfare of the community with individual private property rights. The General Plan helps to foster and encourage community cohesiveness and interaction.

The General Plan provides information and recommendations to assist Town decision-makers as they guide Cave Creek into the future.  Residents, businesses, and those wishing to do business in the Town can use this plan to help them understand their community and decide how Cave Creek will meet the challenges that may be presented to it.  In accordance with A.R.S. § 9-461.05, the Plan guides land use and zoning decisions.

The 2005 General Plan was adopted by Resolution R2004-22 on December 6, 2004 and Ratified by the May 17, 2005 Election.  The 2005 General Plan is available for inspection or purchase ($ 5.00) at the Cave Creek Town Hall during office hours (Monday thru Friday, 8:00a.m. to 4:30p.m.)
