A high profile mixed-use project at the northwest corner of Litchfield Road and Wigwam Boulevard is working its way through the city’s planning process, but has drawn push-back from some residents over a proposed increase in multi-family residential, which would significantly reduce commercial potential.
The 15-acre property is designated for residential and retail development for small shops anchored by similar uses, and a minimum requirement of 75,000 square feet of commercial.
However, owner JDM Partners, who also owns the Wigwam resort, has requested part of the agreement be deleted to allow for as much as 80 percent less commercial to be replaced by as much as 50 percent more residential.
