A controversial proposed mixed-use development project near the intersection of Hayden and Osborn roads took another step toward becoming a realty Wednesday.
The Scottsdale Planning Commission voted 4-3 to recommend that City Council approve the rezone of the seven-acre site earmarked for the Greenbelt 88 project.
Commission Chair Renee Higgs, Vice Chair Joe Young, and commissioners William Scarbrough and George Ertel voted to recommend approval.
“This is going to be a great project that I think is going to improve property values in the area,” Young said.
Commissioners Christian Serena, Barry Graham and Barney Gonzales voted against the rezone.
“I don’t think it fits the personality of the area,” Gonzales said.
