The Planning and Zoning Commission on Monday approved a change in zoning for the proposed West Maricopa Village.

The board rezoned the proposed 35-acre development at the southeast corner of Smith Enke (SR 238) and Loma roads from CI-2 Industrial to Planned Area Development, clearing the way for a March 2 city council vote on project. The development would include single family homes for rent, apartments, a gas station, and retail and/or office space. The developer is Matrix Equities Inc. of Scottsdale.

The project is bordered by Acacia Crossings to the east and vacant land on the other four sides, including the site of the Estrella Gin development to the south.
