City of Morenci Master Plan
The City of Morenci Master Plan is a long-term strategic document that outlines the city's direction for future land use planning, natural resource protection, infrastructure development, and community vibrancy. Developed through extensive community engagement, it provides a framework for decision-making and investment. Key focus areas include background and regional trends, community profile, housing, natural features, recreation, open space, community facilities, utilities, transportation, economic development, and a land use framework. The plan prioritizes developing commercial areas, supporting youth and families, enhancing parks, improving property maintenance, and maintaining roads to guide the city's evolution and update its Zoning Ordinance.
