Controversial 240-unit apartment complex and daycare proposal sent back for redesign following strong community opposition
The Pinal County Board of Supervisors voted 3-2 on August 6th to remand the controversial Homestead Mixed-Use development back to the Planning and Zoning Commission, giving the applicant another opportunity to redesign the project after facing strong opposition from Encanterra residents and others. Supervisors Miller, McClure, and Serdy voted in favor of the remand, while Supervisors Goodman and Vitiello voted against it.
The decision came after public testimony regarding the proposed 240-unit apartment complex and daycare center on 12.45 acres at the northeast corner of Gantzel Road and Algarve Place in San Tan Valley. Staff reported receiving 952 letters of opposition compared to 215 letters of support for the project at the Board meeting, an increase from the 930 opposition and 88 support letters reported at the Planning Commission level. As previously reported, the Planning and Zoning Commission failed to recommend approval of the key development components in June. Details about the proposed development, including site plans, community context, and initial public opposition, can be found in our previous coverage.
