A three-story independent senior living facility at 13870 N. Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard took its first steps toward becoming a reality Oct. 11 when the Scottsdale Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend the city council approve the zoning change that would allow the facility to go up.
The 172-unit facility would be six separate buildings, if ultimately approved. It would consist of the main three-story building as well as five duplexes separating the taller building from existing two-story homes in the area.
“Aesthetically, it looks good and it’s not a gas station,” Commissioner George Ertel said. “It won’t clash with the community.”
