The Queen Creek Town Council has approved a rezoning and site plan that will bring a new multifamily community to about 11 acres west of Ironwood and Ocotillo roads.
Sparrow SFG is a multifamily attached and detached gated residential rental community with 110 units and a net density of 10.05 units per acre. The community will offer single-story to two-story homes with standalone and duplex buildings. The units will have private backyards and porches to make it look more like a single-family community rather than a multistory apartment complex.
The property will change zoning from general commercial to medium residential.
“For surrounding context, the site is bound to the north by the Ironwood Crossing residential community and to the east by the Ironwood Crossing commercial center. At its southern edge, there is a Chipotle restaurant currently under construction on a pad site, and the arterial Ocotillo Road with rural residential lots further south within Pinal County’s jurisdiction. Directly west of the property and currently under construction is the Sparrow age-restricted apartments project. It should be noted this proposed site is being developed by the same team that entitled the adjacent multifamily community,” a staff report stated.
The units will have front porches, private backyards, covered patios and various floor-plan layouts. A majority of the units will have garages.
