Chandler's 2015 Special Census - We're Counting on You! ::
 Chandler is conducting a special mid-decade census to update our population count. Now through late November, Census Bureau enumerators will be going door-to-door to collect a few facts about the people living in each household. All workers will have a U.S. Census Bureau badge and the information they gather is confidential.
By being counted, Chandler receives funding that helps provide the important City services our residents and businesses rely on. Each person counted in Chandler means about $318 in funding every year. Without conducting this population count, Chandler stands to lose up to $14 million in State Shared Revenues over the next five years. This additional money is critical to paying for essential public services such as police and fire protection, properly maintained streets, parks, libraries and more.
High quality public services translates into a safe, healthy and vibrant community where people want to live, work, shop and play. Help keep Chandler great by encouraging your friends, neighbors and customers to be counted. For more information, visit chandleraz.gov.

Neighborhood Meetings Scheduled for Proposed Adaptive Reuse Overlay District ::
 City of Chandler Planning staff has scheduled neighborhood meetings on Oct. 15 and 20 to discuss a proposed Adaptive Reuse Overlay District. The proposed district encompasses properties in the Downtown and North Chandler areas generally within an eighth of a mile of Arizona Avenue or Chandler Boulevard.
The purpose of the proposed district is to encourage and facilitate the reuse of existing commercial buildings/properties that are underutilized or underperforming. This would be accomplished through a special zoning district that modifies site development standards that otherwise make the reuse of existing buildings, structures and sites economically unfeasible. Such site development standards include, but are not limited to, lot coverage, building setbacks, parking requirements and mechanical equipment screening.
Review a draft of the proposed language.
See below for meeting details
:
Oct. 15, 2015 - 6 to 8 p.m.
Oct. 20, 2015 - 3 to 5 p.m.
