City Council unanimously approved two measures Tuesday that move what would be the city’s largest apartment community – 574 units – closer to reality.
The approvals were for a minor General Plan Land Use Amendment for 20.2 acres at the southeastern corner of John Wayne Parkway and Maricopa-Casa Grande Highway to High Density Residential and a zoning change to Planned Area Development.
That sets the stage for next steps of a project known as Overland Waterman Butterfield Apartments. The project would have 574 total units in three categories: market rate, workforce and senior (age 55+).
Access to the community would be from State Route 347, according to city planner Derek Scheerer.
“The city will be constructing out Honeycutt Avenue to the east and then down to the south,” Scheerer said. “That will connect and dead end into the site and will provide access to John Wayne Parkway for the site.”
