The new year comes with new challenges for the City of Sierra Vista . Officials have to come up with a new general plan after the proposed version was vetoed by voters.This is the first time voters decided not to approve the plan since it became a state requirement over two decades ago.“We're left scratching your heads at the moment,” said City of Sierra Vista Community Development Director Matt McLachlan.He says all signs indicated it would pass, during last year's presidential election.

'We're relatively low change community right now, so general plans are a defense against bad development proposals, and right now there's a little bit of a lull in the market,” McLachlan said. One of the focuses continues to be on the west end of Sierra Vista. McLachlan says that making the area more a 'downtown' and walkable area, is a response to the community wanting an area of the city that feels like a downtown.
