The proposed Riverview housing development located near west Anthem could move forward in the rezoning process with the City of Phoenix, which would reduce the housing density from about one home per three acres to three homes per acre making the way for 170 new homes.
The City of Phoenix Rio Vista Village Planning Committee (RVVPC) will hear a presentation from on March 14, at 6 p.m. by El Dorado Holdings, the developer seeking to rezone the 55 of its 160-acres on the northwest corner of 43rd Avenue and Circle Mountain Road. After the presentation there will be public comments and a possible recommendation from RVVPC.
Although RVVPC, which is comprised of residents and are appointed by the city, does not have any decision-making power it does provide guidance on local issues providing recommendations to the Phoenix Planning Commission. The Phoenix Planning Commission will consider this rezoning request on June 6, where it will move on seeking final approval from the city council.
