Mesa Council approves rezoning for multifamily development

The Mesa City Council on Dec. 2 voted unanimously to approve an ordinance to rezone an area at 600 W. Main St. to pave the way for a multifamily development.

Named Mesa Royale, the site will consist of two three-story buildings that would contain 89 new residences. The residences will include a mixture of one-, two- and three-bedroom units; a community area; shade structures and more. The proposal will require rezoning the area from general commercial to general commercial with a planned area development overlay, council use permit and site plan review, according to council documents.

Council documents say the development fits with the general plan for the area as it provides safe places for people to live and fits into a mixed-use, pedestrian-oriented urban environment within walking distance of transit stops.
