Final plats — or maps — for Radiance parcels 19.17 and 19.18 have been approved for D.R. Horton housing subdivisions in southern Apache Junction.
The Apache Junction City Council voted unanimously March 5 as part of a consent agenda with other items to approve the plats.
Parcel 19.17, at the northeast corner of Radiance Avenue and Grand Drive, has 77 lots for single-family homes to be built and sold by the developer, Planner Nick Leftwich wrote in a memo to the council.
Parcel 19.18, at the northwest corner of Radiance Avenue and Davis Drive, has 95 lots for single-family homes to be built and sold by the developer, he wrote in a separate memo to the council.
“Staff is supportive of the proposed final plat for its conformance with the auction property at Superstition Vistas master planned community plan and respectfully recommend that the city council approve the proposed final plat request,” Leftwich said in both memos.
