The Phoenix City Council approved a request to rezone a 0.5-acre property at 1518 W Indian School Road from R-1-6 (Single-Family Residential) to R-3 (Multifamily Residential). The rezoning facilitates the development of a five-unit townhome project. The site is currently vacant and previously contained two single-family homes. The proposed development aligns with the General Plan's Land Use designation of Residential, 0-5 dwelling units per acre, and the North Encanto Neighborhood Plan's character area designation of Medium Density Residential. The project will provide additional housing options in an area with good access to services and transit. The development will include five two-story townhomes, each with a two-car garage. Conditions of approval include compliance with specific development standards, such as building materials, setbacks, and landscaping requirements to ensure compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood. The applicant committed to specific design elements to address neighborhood concerns, including limiting building height to 24 feet and ensuring adequate open space.
