Plans for a subdivision on the city’s south side have nearly been slashed in half. Geographically, that is — the number of planned homes is virtually unchanged.
After selling nearly 200 acres of land to the City of Maricopa, landowners Jim and Matt Smith updated their proposal for a subdivision near Porter and Steen Roads, according to public records obtained by InMaricopa.
Last year, the Smith family was looking to sell more than 420 acres of their sod farm for a subdivision called Stagecoach Springs at Smith Farms. The plans called for the construction of 1,100 single-family homes and 990 apartment or townhome units.
The industrial land sale in October adjusted those plans.
The new proposal shows the site to be nearly half the size of the original proposal. It’s comprised of residential, commercial and mixed-use parcels. The new plans still manage to squeeze 1,100 single-family homes onto 185 acres.
