A development that has been in the doldrums since 2008 may get new life while a long-time farm is turning more of its acres into a residential area.
Maricopa City Council approved an amendment to the original Planned Area Development for Stonegate Center, which remains vacant between Maricopa-Casa Grande Highway and Alan Stephens Parkway. Council also approved the rezoning of a portion of Anderson Farms on the east side of Maricopa.
The Stonegate Center, 42200 W. Maricopa-Casa Grande Hwy., was about 50 acres on the west side of Stonegate Road and was meant to be a retail area similar to The Wells or Edison Point.
The new proposal is a self-storage facility on about four acres in the northeast corner. A change to the PAD is necessary to allow personal storage, outdoor vehicle storage and living quarters for an onsite manager. The proposed Omni Storage would have five buildings up to two stories high as well as outdoor storage for vehicles and RVs.
