The City of Phoenix approved the rezoning of 10.75 acres at the southwest corner of 69th Avenue and Thomas Road from S-1 and R1-6 to R-4 to allow for multifamily residential development. The project will include 288 garden-style multifamily units, with a portion of the units designated as affordable housing for households earning 80% or less of the Area Median Income (AMI). The development will feature enhanced landscaping, pedestrian pathways, and amenities such as private yards and mature evergreen tree buffers. Traffic improvements, including widening 69th Avenue, are part of the project to address safety and accessibility concerns.
This decision supports the development of affordable and market-rate housing, addressing the housing shortage in Phoenix while enhancing the neighborhood's infrastructure and providing modern amenities for residents.
