A landmark Queen Creek farm has cleared a hurdle to developing the community’s newest agritainment venue on its land, similar to Queen Creek Olive Mill and Schnepf Farms.
During a public hearing at their July 12 meeting, members of the Queen Creek Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend for approval P17-0078, a minor General Plan amendment from medium density residential to agritainment; and P17-0079, a Planned Area Development rezone from R1-43 and R1-35 to agritainment/planned area development; for the Heritage Corner agritainment project.
The Sossaman family through its ownership entity Sossaman Holdings LLC, submitted the application to transform a portion of the original Sossaman family homestead into an interactive, educational and sustainable agritainment venue, according to the commission’s information packet, which may be viewed online at www.queencreek.org.
