The city of Peoria recently took a big step in master planning more than a thousand acres of land in the northern part of the city known as North Peoria Gateway, adjacent to Vistancia’s commercial core.
Peoria City Council members approved the annexation of 458 acres of state land in that area and applied initial zoning of the property from a county residential zoning of about one home per acre to a similar zoning in Peoria, as required for annexation under state law.
Finally, council approved the rezoning of the 1,621-acre North Peoria Gateway from Peoria that residential zoning to a planned community development zoning.
