More than a year after its first meeting with the public, McGrath Real Estate Partners received approval from the Flagstaff City Council to rezone land on Butler Avenue.
Council voted unanimously to rezone 14.51 acres of light industrial and heavy industrial property at 825 and 829 E. Butler Ave. during the first read of the ordinance at Tuesday night’s meeting. The ordinance calls for 2.24 acres of the property to become highway commercial land and another 12.27 acres for high density residential land.
McGrath’s commitment to finding a project that fit the city of Flagstaff’s regional plan impressed all seven members of the council, who praised the Houston-based developer for its willingness to listen to the community’s requests and concerns.
