Peoria City Council gives go-ahead for 32 homes near P83
Posted
Project dubbed Bella Brisa

Peoria City Council green-lit a residential urban-style infill project near the P83 Entertainment District for up to 32 homes on about 6.55 acres.
The development has been dubbed Bella Brisa, located at 75th Avenue and Running Horse Lane, near the Peoria Sports Plex, a multi-sport indoor arena and the new home of Arizona Inline Hockey.
The proposal includes two-story, single family residences at just under 5 dwelling units per acre. Each home is to have a minimum lot size of 3,500 square feet and has a 2-car garage and one to two parking spaces.
The council unanimously approved a request from Bela Flor Communities to amend the General Plan Land Use Map from the current land use designation of Low Density Residential (2-5 du/ac, target of 3 du/ac) to Medium Density Residential (5-8 du/ac, target of 6 du/ac), as well as a request to rezone the land from Central Commercial (C-3) to Planned Area Development.
Planning Director Chris Jacques said the site had been zoned commercial for 38 years, but it was not a desirable zoning in that region, which is why it stayed vacant so long.
“(The rezone) is an adjustment in the land use that better suits the land. It better suits the area, provides transition and offers a different type and style of housing choice in the area,” he said.
