Despite some opposition from nearby residents, Scottsdale City Council unanimously approved the rezoning of a 20-acre plot of land just east of Loop 101 in central Scottsdale, paving the way for a new planned residential development.
Council determined the future of the project, called Wolf Springs Ranch, during Tuesday’s regular agenda meeting at City Hall, 3939 N. Drinkwater Blvd. The 20-acre lot, at the corner of Cactus Road and 94th Street, is home to a commercial ranch and stable, a house and two private schools.
The proposed 40-lot development will feature two access points. One will be the main access for the community on 94th Street while the second will be an emergency access on 93rd Street, a quieter roadway.
While the Scottsdale Planning Commission approved the plan for recommendation 4–1 with the stipulation it had an emergency access and not a full access on 93rd Street, staff continued to recommend it be a full access onto 93rd Street.
