The Town of Paradise Valley is on the precipice of what developer dreams may become as municipal leaders weigh the cost and benefits of luxury housing, multifamily and resort development inching toward fruition.
In all, there are eight special use permit projects making their way through various cogs of the Paradise Valley municipal process, Community Development Director Jeremy Knapp said.
In Paradise Valley, zoning is relatively simple with the large majority of the 16 square miles containing single-family residences whereas SUP guidelines govern commercial operations — places like resorts and medical facilities — within town limits.
Records show approximately 38 active SUP properties within town limits.
