With north Surprise residents still upset with the traffic situation on 163rd Avenue, the Surprise City Council emphatically rejected a rezoning March 18 that would have brought a commercial and apartment project to the intersection with Jomax Road.
Each Surprise council member said no to allowing for a 475-unit residential development with an adjoining commerce center with office and retail space on the northeast corner of the intersection.
The rejection came weeks after the Surprise Planning and Zoning Commission recommended the zoning change be denied.
