Allante Properties has requested the City of Phoenix rezone 2.18 acres at the SWC of Peoria Avenue and Cave Creek Road to enable the development of a 240-unit multifamily development called Valle View.
The total project area consists of 5.2 acres. The portion covered by the request is currently zoned C-2 intermediate commercial. The request would change the zoning to R-5 multifamily residential.
The development plan calls for one multifamily building of up to 48 feet in height with an associated parking garage.
According to the staff report on the project, “The subject site, as well as areas to the north, east and south are designated as Commercial on the General Plan Land Use Map. To the west is designated as Residential 10 to 15 dwelling units per acre. To the north is designated Residential 3.5 to 5 dwelling units per acre and Commercial. The proposal for R5 zoning is not consistent with the General Plan Land Use; however, a General Plan Amendment is not required as the site is less than 10 acres.”
