It is anticipated that 27,000 residential units and more than 9 million square feet of commercial and industrial uses will be developed in the auctioned and retained Arizona State Trust Land south of Apache Junction to State Route 24.
Those numbers were revealed at a recent Apache Junction Planning and Zoning Commission meeting where commissioners voted unanimously on two separate cases to recommend the City Council approve rezoning to master planned community the 2,783 acres auctioned in November and 5,307 acres retained by the state, with Commissioner Richard Cantwell absent.
The City Council will discuss the rezoning cases at a work session Oct. 4, with a public hearing and vote Oct. 5. Both meetings begin at 7 p.m. in the council chambers, 300 E. Superstition Blvd.
