If approved, a San Diego-based developer, Douglas Allred Company’s, attempt to modify language that guides development in the South Price Road Employment Corridor the would be the first shift in South Price Corridor policy in about two decades. It also could serve as a rough draft for a broader revision to Price Corridor development guidelines, for which the city is enlisting a consultant’s help.
The Arizona Republic reports the company wants to construct multitenant buildings on about 65 acres just south of Willis Road. The minor General Plan text amendment sought would strike the word “single” and instead “generally reserve” its parcel “for large/significant size users.”
Economic-development director Christine Mackay cautioned against judging a company’s investment in a community by whether it needs 15 acres.
If the text amendment and a subsequent rezoning request were to be approved, Allred plans to invest more than $30 million into the parcel south of Willis. Improvements would include remediation of the dairy that formerly occupied the site.
