Despite expressing reservations about the number of active development plans in Northwest Surprise and whether roads and schools in the area would keep pace, the Surprise Planning and Zoning Commission approved a preliminary plat for the Altamira development Thursday night.
Altamira is generally located north of Pinnacle Peak Road and west of the Reems Road/155th Avenue alignment.
A development with a revised plat approved in late 2015, Verdugo, is to the west.
