Putting in a large, high density housing complex is easier when there are no established neighborhoods nearby.
That appeared to be the lesson from an April 13 site plan review by Mesa Planning and Zoning of a proposed 372-unit apartment complex called Acero Hawes II on 18 acres southeast of Sossman and Elliot Roads, former dairy farm land.
The developer received no comments during its public outreach efforts, so without a lot of discussion, the Planning and Zoning Board gave the greenlight to a plan by IDM Apartments Phoenix to build 14 three-story luxury apartments buildings on the western end of the Elliot Road Tech Corridor.
This is a rapidly developing area where lots of employment centers are planned but there’s not a lot of housing, yet.
