The Scottsdale Planning Commission has approved a recommendation to rezone a north Scottsdale site from commercial to residential despite heavy objections from neighbors who feel the proposal will negatively impact the character of the area.
Commission approved the proposal at its Jan. 25 meeting and now goes before the Scottsdale City Council for final approval.
Applicant John Berry had requested a non-major General Plan amendment asking the city to rezone 14 of the 15.5-acre site at 7225 E. Dove Valley Road from commercial to urban neighborhood.
