Purpose of the Bullhead City General Plan:

The Bullhead City General Plan provides a clear vision for City decision makers, residents, and others working with the City. It includes separate elements that, taken together, provide a blueprint for growth and development that will enhance the life of Bullhead City residents and businesses. The goals, objectives, and policies of this plan constitute the implementation strategy, and they will be carried forward as time, circumstances and resources allow, when practical and possible. All parts of this Plan are related and should be collectively applied. This Plan meets the requirements of Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS) for General Plans, ARS §9-461.05.

What is a General Plan and Who Uses It?

A general plan is an expression of long-term community intentions regarding the future development and physical form of the community. It contains maps, goals, objectives, and policies that are used to coordinate and implement land use decisions with other decisions about infrastructure, parks, recreation and open space, city services, housing supply and affordability, and environmental resources such as air and water.

City decision-makers and staff, residents, and others working with the City may use this Plan to describe a common understanding of the expectations of the community and the actions needed to achieve these expectations. Residents can use the Plan to learn about their City, how it plans to maintain or enhance the high quality of life that residents and businesses now enjoy and the City’s long-term plans for growth and development. The City staff, the Planning and Zoning Commission, City Council, and other decision-making or advisory entities within the City will use the Plan as a guide to make sure that infrastructure, land use, and other decisions are closely coordinated. Those working with the City can use the General Plan to help them understand the types of developments appropriate to the City and the plans for future development.
