Residents in one North Phoenix neighborhood are up in arms amid plans to rezone a vacant plot of land near their homes for commercial use. Such a rezoning, if approved, could transform the plot of land into a busy shopping area in the future.
Residents in a North Phoenix neighborhood are outraged, as news spread that a vacant plot of land near their homes could soon be rezoned from a residential area to commercial.
The area in question is locat ed near Deer Valley Drive and Black Mountain Boulevard. The rezoning, if ultimately approved, would mean instead of building homes and keeping the area a neighborhood, the area could one day be transformed into a busy shopping area. On Oct. 3, dozens of residents in the Desert Ridge neighborhood came out to a Planning Commission meeting to express their concerns.
One of the applicants vying for the rezoning approval is Vestar, who also created Desert Ridge Marketplace.
