Maricopa eyes ‘red flags’ in development plans
“We are going to run into some problems in the future.”
Maricopa Development Services Director Martin Scribner was talking to the Planning & Zoning Commission last month after a presentation on development patterns. The report by planner Ryan Wozniak, “Maricopa: The Living Experiment,” red-flagged problems in land-use productivity and heavy reliance on vehicles.
“Residents spend 61 percent on housing and transportation,” Wozniak said. “That’s higher than the rest of the county.”
