This rezoning allows for the conversion of an existing hotel into a community residence center, providing supportive housing for seniors. The rezoning includes a density waiver to increase the allowed number of units on the site, resulting in 126 units from the original 52 allowed. The project includes multiple stipulations to enhance site design, including pedestrian walkways, shaded parking, and water-efficient landscaping.
The rezoning provides critical housing solutions for low-income seniors in Phoenix, addressing the city's housing shortage while improving the use of underutilized land.
