Via City of Mesa

The Mesa City Council voted 7-0 at their Feb. 3 meeting to approve the annexation and rezoning of 30 acres of land to pave way for a housing development.
According to council documents, the development called Carmello by Blandford Homes is at the southeast corner of North Hawes Road and East McDowell Road. The parcel of land was previously zoned as agricultural, but has been rezoned to single-residence-15 with a planned area development. The development consists of 65 lots with one home per lot.
Property owners nearby were notified and the council received comments from neighboring property owners who complained about the number of units, which was initially 81, resulting in the current number of 65.
