The Carefree Town Council approved a major general plan amendment for approximately 21 acres at the northwest corner of Tom Darlington Drive and Carefree Highway.
The new designation, special planning area, is targeted toward a resort/hotel development. The site consists of five parcels, which were previously designated for very low density residential.
According to Carefree Economic Development Director Steve Prokopek, this location has been discussed over many years as a commercial property, with the corner parcel platted at 10 acres.
