In a series of three identical 3-1 votes, the Cottonwood Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of a series of requests that will enable the development of a six-building, 252-unit apartment community southeast of the SEC of 12th Street and State Route 89A.
Owner and developer William Spring (as Forest Glen LLC) had requested a minor General Plan amendment from Highway Commercial to Residential/High Density, a zoning change from Single-Family/Multiple Family Residential and Heavy Commercial to Multiple Family Residential (R3), and a conditional use permit to exceed standard allowable building heights for his planned Spring Verde Apartments.
Part of the 8.8-acre combined site was once home to the Lumberman’s building materials and drywall supplier, which has been closed for several years. The property lies behind an existing bank and is located near a transit stop and several grocery and other commercial outlets.
