On April 9, 2025, the Phoenix City Council adopted Ordinance G-7378 to rezone a 4.99-acre parcel at the northwest corner of 30th Avenue and Deer Valley Drive from R-4A (Approved CP/GCP) to PUD. The rezoning enables Roers Companies to develop a five-story, 147-unit affordable housing complex targeting families earning 60% or less of area median income. The LIHTC-eligible project includes amenities such as a clubhouse, bike repair station, EV infrastructure, 30-foot-wide multi-use trail along Scatter Wash, and 49,771 sq ft of open space. The design emphasizes sustainability through solar panels, smart irrigation, and drought-tolerant landscaping. The site integrates a shaded pedestrian network and enhanced connectivity to nearby transportation corridors. Despite public concerns regarding height, parking, and compatibility, the Planning Commission and Deer Valley Village Planning Committee recommended approval by votes of 7-0 and 7-3 respectively :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}​:contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}.
This rezoning supports the City’s Housing Phoenix Plan and promotes equitable growth near major employment centers like TSMC. It provides critically needed affordable housing and leverages sustainable design in an underutilized area.
