The Peoria City Council unanimously approved a general plan land amendment and rezone of a new housing development known as the Cowley Property, Aug. 18.
The approvals allow the developer to bring more than 800 lots on 280 acres along the northwest border of the city, west of the Ridgeline Road and 135th Avenue intersection, and southwest of the Ridgeline and Dysart roads intersection.
The project will have three lot sizes, with some planned for the foothills: 5,175 square feet, 6,050 square feet, and 8,450 square feet.
The development borders Trilogy at Vistancia, and some neighboring residents had concerns about the project ranging from an abandoned mine on the south parcel to home heights.
Additionally, residents and officials with Peoria Unified School District, which would serve the Cowley Property, voiced concerns about school overcrowding already happening and which could increase as a result of this and other ongoing home builds.
