Panic shook a small Surprise neighborhood this month when residents received a postcard in the mail noting that a “high-density” apartment complex could be coming to an 11-acre dirt lot behind their community.
A flood of neighbors from the Sanalina community filled the city council chambers on Jan. 17, asking the council to deny a zoning change that would allow apartments, although the council won’t vote on the issue for at least three months.
“These apartments will only add to an already existing traffic problem with speeding and volume inside our development,” Joe Carlie told the council.
