The developers of Riverview, which is a proposed housing development straddling New River on a Phoenix-annexed parcel of private land near west Anthem, announced last week that it will present information to a City of Phoenix committee on April 9, to begin its pursuit in rezoning a portion of the parcel to make way for 170 new homes.
If the rezoning request submitted by El Dorado Holdings is approved, the requested 55.25-acres located near 43rd Avenue and Circle Mountain Road will go from low-density farming residential (S-1) land, to single family residential (R1-6), with a density of three homes per acre. The Scottsdale based developer has promised to preserve the remaining 104.75-acres of the parcel, which is mostly located in a floodplain.
