Smaller developments in the general area of the large Rancho Mercado master plan in northwest Surprise are popping up in city planning discussions.
During the Sept. 16 Surprise Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, commissioners heard and recommended approval for the Bonita Ranch preliminary plat, and as well as a minor General Plan amendment and zoning change for Mandou Ranch.
The preliminary plat for Bonita Ranch calls for 208 dwellings on approximately 73 acres west of 147th Avenue and just south of Jomax Road.
