A 300-unit, three-story multifamily residential affordable-housing rental community — with rents $1,262 for a one-bedroom unit to $1,950 for a four-bedroom unit — is planned in Apache Junction.

A conditional use permit request by Roers Cos., represented by Greg Davis of Iplan Consulting, will be discussed at the 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 28, meeting of the Apache Junction Planning and Zoning Commission in the council chambers, 300 E. Superstition Blvd.

The commission is to vote on a recommendation to the city council, which will make the final decision.

Bela Flor Enterprises LLC is the owner of the 13-acre development near the southeast corner of Idaho Road and the Scenic Street alignment.

The project will use the Section 42 low-income housing tax credit program, which allows developers to offer affordable housing to residents earning up to 60% of the area’s median income. Rental rates are set annually by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. For this area in 2025, rents range from $1,262 for a one-bedroom to $1,950 for a four-bedroom unit, inclusive of utilities, it states in a written staff report.

Families must meet both income and household size requirements to qualify for housing under the LIHTC program. In 2025, the maximum income limits were as follows:

• One-person household: $47,160
• Two-person household: $53,820
• Three-person household: $60,600
• Four-person household: $67,320

The development plan proposes 14 three-story buildings. The residential units will include 48 one-bedroom/one-bath, 132 two-bedroom/two-bath units, 84 three-bedroom/two-bath units and 36 four-bedroom/two-bath units. Parking is to include 370 surface spaces and 300 covered parking stalls.

The buildings are clustered around community open space areas and/or along the perimeter, including along Idaho Road, it states in a written project narrative from Iplan Consulting.

The office/clubhouse structure is single story and is located off the project entrance in the southwest portion of the property. A small single-story maintenance building is also planned and is in the northwest corner of the property, it states.

“The architectural design features a Western motif that uses a Southwestern color scheme that will be applied in a color blocking manner that accentuates the articulation of the building’s footprint emphasizing the shade/shadow projections. A variety of materials (are) proposed including smooth finish stucco, brick, vertical cement planks, corrugated metal, and metal accents and railings,” it states in the narrative.

The primary duties of the planning and zoning commission include community contact regarding items including a zoning change request, to an application from a developer for a shopping center development or housing project. Also included are conditional use permits with the final decision being handled at the planning and zoning commission level, according to the city’s website.
