VIA TOWN OF QUEEN CREEK
By Janet Perez | YourValley
A developer is proposing an office/industrial site at the northeast corner of Rittenhouse and Germann roads, but it will require an amendment to the town’s general plan and a rezoning.
The Queen Creek Town Council will hold a public meeting on the issue and possibly take action during its Wednesday meeting.
Currently, the land-use designation for the 10-acre site is neighborhood and the developer, Evergreen Investment Company LLC, is requesting that it be changed to industrial to allow for the proposed Depot at Rittenhouse.
The site will also require a zoning change from medium-density residential to employment-A, according to a council staff report.
While there is a residential subdivision near the site, the rest is bordered by industrial land. The site is bound by Rittenhouse Road to the west, Germann Road to the south with the Cortina residential neighborhood south of Germann Road, and the Union Pacific Railroad to the northeast. There is also vacant land zoned for general industrial north of the railroad within Mesa.
