City staff highlight Shape Phoenix portal and My Community Map for planning and permitting

A City of Phoenix staff member said the city’s planning and development tools are now available online to help residents and developers manage permits and view local projects.

"Prefer to get things done wherever your work takes you? The City of Phoenix planning and development team has you covered online. Shape Phoenix brings planning, permitting, and the inspection processes into 1 integrated, user friendly portal that can be accessed anywhere," the staff member said. "Wanna get more information about development in your neighborhood? My Community Map has an easy to use tool that you can view active projects and future plans."

The remarks, presented during the meeting record, emphasized that both tools provide online access to city planning resources. The staff member also said, "Whether you need zoning information, a status update, or answers to your questions, we're here to serve with your online tools and resources."

City officials did not announce any new policy changes or votes during the remarks; the statements described existing online services aimed at streamlining planning, permitting and inspections and giving the public a way to check active and proposed projects in their neighborhoods.

The comments did not specify links, rollout dates, or changes to fees or procedures. Residents and developers seeking more detail were directed to use the named tools — Shape Phoenix and My Community Map — for project status and basic zoning information.
