A 4.8-acre medical offices building is to be converted to apartments west of Country Club Drive on the north side of Brown Road in Mesa.
The Mesa Planning and Zoning Board recently voted 3-2, with Vice Chair Deanna Villanueva-Saucedo and board member Shelly Allen dissenting, to recommend the city council approve a site plan review and a special-use permit for a parking reduction for the development. Absent from the meeting were board members Tim Boyle and Benjamin Ayers.
“I think there’s an oversaturation of apartments in that whole area,” Allen said by Zoom prior to the vote. “The deficit of parking that is going to be provided, I don’t agree with that either, so at this point I wouldn’t be supporting the project — supporting the site plan review or the special-use permit.”
