A 129-lot gated townhome subdivision with a homeowners association is to be constructed at the northeast corner of South Acacia Road and East Southern Avenue in Apache Junction.
The city’s planning and zoning commission on March 24 voted 4-3 to recommend council approve rezoning the property and a minor general plan amendment to modify a commercial land use designation to high-density residential. It directs city staff to work with the developer to examine changing an entrance/exit point from Acacia to Starr Road. Dissenting were Commissioners Ari Kalan, Jesse Gage and Roy Starr.
“I’m going to vote ‘yes,’ but I do have concerns with traffic,” Chair Dave Hantzsche said in voting.
