A group of neighbors who have lived in the East Morningside, Cavalier Villa, Peters View and surrounding neighborhoods for many decades are coming together once again to advocate for compromise as developers seek to step up the density in their neighborhood.
A request to rezone 1.82 acres at the northeast corner of 21st Street and Turney Avenue from R-3 to R-5 zoning for a multifamily residential development, a four-story, 48-foot building that would include 75 (10 studio, 23 one-bedroom and 42 two-bedroom) market rate apartments, was presented to the Camelback East Village Planning Committee (VPC) Aug. 6. The VPC declined to recommend approval on case number Z-74-24, known as Turney Villas. The project was continued from the Sept. 5 Phoenix Planning Commission meeting to Thursday, Oct. 10.
The September continuance was made by lawyers on behalf of the owner, 4401 Turney Villas, LLC, in order to “provide additional time to engage in outreach with the community.”
