During its April 9 meeting, the Globe City Council approved a planned area development modification that will allow a master-planned project covering 58 acres on Highway 60 to proceed.
The PAD had initially been approved in December, but staff review of the plan’s second phase found some details did not conform to the existing minimum zoning standards.
The original zoning and PAD for the site date back to 2015. There were three possible land use scenarios laid out then, which included various combinations of single-family, multifamily, light industrial, commercial, retail and office.
According to the staff report on the recent update, “The master plan provides a mixture of land uses and a variety of housing types. Phase I of the project includes 70 single-family homes, 28 townhomes, and 22 cluster home casitas, along with an amenity center, fire/public safety substation, and community pool and parks. The second and third phases of the development include approximately 600 mid-rise apartments over commercial/office, a 300-room hospitality use, and convention hall, chapel, and recreation facilities.”
