MARICOPA — At an Aug. 18 council meeting, the city council took the next steps in several new developments including apartments and beautification projects by approving zoning and general plan amendments.
The first to be approved were amendments to the general plan and zoning code to change 1.69 acres of land on Porter and Honeycutt roads from employment to high density residential. The change will mark the next step for the O’Jon Terrace Apartments, a new complex that will help diversify housing in Maricopa, which currently does not have any apartment-style homes.
O’Jon Terrace Apartments will have 27 units and 55 parking spaces in the first phase of construction, but that number could increase to 48 in future phases. The two-story complexes will be a mix of one- and two-bedroom units and will sit in the southwestern corner of the currently vacant lot.
