The Apache Junction City Council voted to deny a conditional-use permit for a 300-unit, three-story multifamily residential rental development near the southeast corner of Idaho Road and the Scenic Street alignment.
The affordable housing rental community — with rents $1,262 for a one-bedroom unit to $1,950 for a four-bedroom unit including utilities — would have used 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.
The development proposed 14 three-story buildings with 48 one-bedroom, one-bath units; 132 two-bedroom, two-bath units; 84 three-bedroom, two-bath units; and 36 four-bedroom, two-bath units. Parking was to include 370 surface spaces and 300 covered parking stalls.
