A new 90-unit apartment community could be in the works for a prominent site near downtown Prescott.
500 S. Marina Street has been home to a children’s hospital, a mental hospital and was also the location of the Yavapai County Development Services offices until 2012. The building on site has sat vacant since then, and a demolition permit was issued last November.
Owner YH Development Properties has requested a rezoning and minor general plan amendment for 0.6 acres of a nearly 3.3-acre total site to allow construction of the new multifamily community. According to the staff memo prepared for the Prescott Planning and Zoning Commission, “The subject project area is currently zoned residential Single-family 9 (SF-9) and Multifamily-High Density (MF-H) located at the end of South Marina Street and totals 3.279 acres.
