A proposal that would bring 132 new homes to an area of south Chandler has drawn opposition from city planning staff in advance of a city panel’s consideration.
Mattamy Homes, which has built subdivisions in Mesa and several West Valley communities, is seeking zoning that would allow it to construct the homes on the south side of Queen Creek Road just east of Arizona Avenue.
The 28 acres of vacant land is just west of railroad tracks that cross Queen Creek Road. The land wraps around another parcel of vacant land that fronts the southeast corner of Arizona Avenue and Queen Creek.
