The Apache Junction City Council unanimously approved the rezoning of 282 N. Palo Verde Drive on October 7, 2025. The 7-0 vote allows Hermelinda Properties LLC to officially designate the property as multifamily, matching its longtime use. The owner plans to replace the existing single-family home with a fourplex, adding three new apartment units.
Property Predates City Zoning Standards
The property at 282 N. Palo Verde Drive spans 0.62 acres and currently houses five rental units. The oldest structure, Unit A, was built in 1934 as a single-family home. Two duplexes, Units B and C along with Units D and E, were constructed in 1950. These buildings have operated as multifamily housing for 75 years, predating Apache Junction’s incorporation in 1978 and the city’s zoning standards adopted in 1985.
