The rezoning application proposes to rezone 80.31 acres of land at the southwest corner of 36th Avenue and Pinnacle Peak Road from RE-43 (One-Family Residence) and RE-43 SP (Special Permit) to R1-6 (Single-Family Residence District) and C-2 (Intermediate Commercial). The purpose of the rezoning is to allow for single-family residential development and commercial uses. The proposal includes 74.50 acres for residential use and 5.81 acres for commercial use. The applicant, Lennar Arizona, LLC, seeks to create a development that addresses housing needs in the area while supporting commercial activities.
