A planned 58-acre development in northeast Globe has cleared one hurdle in its race to realization, as the City of Globe Planning & Zoning Commission approved a request to increase building heights allowed on parts of the property.
The applicant, Monte Dei Globe Operations LLC, was requesting a 50-foot increase, from 36 to 86.5 feet from natural grade, for parts of the Marigold Project preliminary site plan located west of the former Apache Drive-In on U.S. Highway 60. Their request also included uninhabitable roof projections up to 115 feet.
This was just the first step in the project’s approval. The next phase will be a review of the Marigold Project site design, which City Zoning Administrator Dana Burkhardt said could come before the Commission for approval in the spring of 2024.
