Planning & Zoning Approves Land Use Changes
by Bill Van Nimwegen | Apache Junction & Gold Canyon News
The Apache Junction Planning & Zoning Commission met on Tuesday, September 11 and unanimously approved a proposed amendment to the city’s land use map to redesignate a 38 acre property at the southwest corner of E. Old West Highway and S. Goldfield Road from Community Commercial to Medium Density Residential.
Plans for the site include a community development of 178 single-family houses.
The proposal was made by McMillan Manufactured Home Development Company LC and Lennar Homes, represented by Ralph Pew. Mr. Pew told the Commissioners that the development is in its early stages, and because of the property’s proximity to Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) land, there would be a slow, but sure progress to ground-breaking.
