Another high-density apartment complex was approved Monday night for 10 vacant acres adjacent to Santa Rosa Springs.
The Planning & Zoning Commission voted 5-1 to approve land use and zoning changes for the property at the southwest corner of Porter Road and Iron Point Drive, just south of Maricopa-Casa Grande Highway. Commissioner Bill Robertson was absent.
The proposed Roers Maricopa project would include 200 units in three-story buildings with a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments ranging in size from 850-1,250 square feet. If approved by City Council, construction could begin in about a year.
Vice Chair Michael Sharpe was the lone vote against both requests: an amendment to the city’s future land use map converting the acreage from Public/Institutional (P) to High Density Residential (HDR) use, and a zoning change from the existing General Business (CB-2) to High Density Residential (RH).
