The Phoenix Planning Commission recommended approval of a Special Permit with conditions for a new mixed-use development at 100 E McDowell Rd. The project proposes up to 260 dwelling units and approximately 10,000 square feet of commercial space. The development will feature a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units, along with amenities such as a swimming pool, fitness center, and rooftop deck. The commercial space is designated for retail or restaurant use. A Special Permit is necessary because the proposed density and height exceed the base zoning district standards. The project aligns with the General Plan's Mixed-Use designation for the site. The recommendation from the Planning Commission was made on September 14, 2023, and the City Council will render the final decision.
