A rezoning and new planned development overlay for a 146-unit, two- and three-story Banyan Apartments complex using the Section 42 low-income housing tax credit program should not be approved by the city council, the Apache Junction Planning and Zoning Commission decided recently.
The commission voted 6-0 June 23 to recommend the council not approve the rezoning from high density multiple-family residential to high density multiple-family residential by planned development. Board member Roy Starr abstained after participating in the discussion.
The council meets at 7 p.m. Monday, July 6, for a work session and 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 21, for a meeting on the rezoning and new planned development overlay in the council chambers, 300 E. Superstition Blvd.
