The Apache Junction City Council should not approve a four-story apartment building near the roundabout, the planning and zoning commission decided recently.
Applicant WCG Partners LLC, represented by Paul Poteet and Marco Diaz of Summa Terra Ventures, is requesting a rezoning of three parcels of approximately 4.5 acres for a 152-unit leased Superstition Ridge Apartments at the southeast corner of Superstition Boulevard and North Apache Trail/State Route 88.
“Looking at this project … I don’t think it fits with Apache Junction and I don’t think that the design fits right. I don’t think that it fits at the site correctly. The amount of traffic we’re potentially bringing in, the views we’re blocking,” Commissioner Dave Hantzsche said at the May 12 meeting.
