Dyett & Bhatia helped the City of Mesa undertake a comprehensive review of its zoning ordinance to implement the new General Plan. The goal of the update was to ensure that zoning is responsive to community concerns about neighborhood character; to create mechanisms to promote infill, mixed-use and transit-oriented development; to streamline project review processes; to ensure that zoning complies with state requirements, particularly Proposition 207, the City Charter and current case law; and to make the zoning code clear, concise, understandable and easy to use.

Mesa's last comprehensive update to the city's Zoning Ordinance occurred in 1992. Since then, the ordinance has been amended many times, but always in a piecemeal fashion. Today, the result is a cumbersome code that is difficult to use and no longer effectively serves its purpose. The update consolidated the ordinance so that it is more user-friendly. Furthermore, it ensured that zoning addresses the concerns of the General Plan while taking into account emergent land uses and technologies. The result is a modernized Zoning Ordinance that provides a clear framework for the achievement of the City's goals for land use regulations.
