Developers of the proposed Ritz-Carlton resort have submitted revised plans for the Paradise Valley property, giving town officials their first chance to scrutinize what the finished project might ultimately look like.
Five Star Development Inc. filed a preliminary application for a special-use permit Thursday, March 12. The permit, if approved, would allow construction of a Ritz-Carlton resort, along with a residential community, on 82 acres of a 105-acre swath of land at about Scottsdale and Lincoln roads.
The new application comes nearly seven years after the town approved plans for redevelopment — plans that were never carried out Five Star and municipal officials agree was due to economics of the Great Recession.
