Valley Hotel & Resort Association.
As a long time resident who has seen and been part of the growth and evolution of Scottsdale
AZ, and as a member of the CRC, Rich hopes to contribute a balanced view that will help the
governing body of this great and unique city make informed decisions regarding growth and
development and its impact on the community; and the key economic drivers that create and
support businesses, jobs, and tax revenues, and ultimately, enrich and enhance the quality of life
of its residents while establishing communal sense of civic pride and participation.
On finding a balance…”While development is generally very positive, creating a healthy and
vibrant economic environment, if unthoughtfully unconstrained and guided it can diminish the
image/ perception of the destination and negatively impact the quality of life in the community,
and actually de-value the overall market economy”.
Going along with that thought, Rich is concerned that the accelerated rate of urban density
being created that impacts the aesthetics and infrastructure of both commercially zoned and
residential areas as well as the natural landscapes and recreational areas. He would approach
these and any related issues with consideration of both the benefits and the caveats mentioned
above. He also feels that there are areas of our city within or adjacent to areas that both tourists
and residents gravitate to, that could use an innovative and inspired approach to development
that would positively impact, enhance and expand the overall quality of life for our residents as
well as the visitor experience.
“Bottom line is that the whole process needs to be pragmatic, yet inspired and imaginative,
occasionally innovative, but always thoughtful, inclusive, and transparent”.

       of natural area open space or for other amounts owed to the city as provided by law, and

construction, reconstruction, or conversion of any building or structure other than a
detached single-family dwelling.

I. To adopt plans for land use areas within the city for the purpose of refining the general

other solid waste, and recyclable materials, and to acquire, construct, operate and
maintain solid waste management facilities, including the authority to enter into contracts

assistance to those in need.
Except as prohibited by the United States constitution, the Arizona constitution, the laws of this
state preempting the charter, or as restricted by this charter, the city shall and may exercise
all municipal powers, functions, rights, privileges and immunities of every name and nature
whatsoever.

The enumeration of particular powers by this charter shall not be deemed to be exclusive, and

such powers, it is intended that the city shall have and may exercise all powers which under the
constitution of this state, it would be competent for this charter specifically to enumerate.
