Rezoning proposal sparks debate over new construction plans
In a recent government meeting, officials discussed a proposed rezoning application submitted by CGP Construction and Maintenance, represented by Richard Clutter, for a property located at the southwest corner of Ironwood Drive and Superstition Boulevard. The current zoning of the site is split between B1 and RS20M, and the proposal seeks to rezone the area entirely to B1 to facilitate the construction of a 4,000 square foot construction office and a 9,600 square foot warehouse.

The proposed rezoning aligns with the 2020 General Plan and is situated in a predominantly commercial area, with multifamily and single-family residential zones to the east, and single-family residential to the south and west. The property has a historical background, having been built in 1946 and previously part of the Newtown subdivision. It has undergone various zoning changes over the years, including a 1998 attempt to split a portion of the lot for residential development, which ultimately did not materialize.

The site plan presented includes extensive landscaping and parking provisions, exceeding the requirements set forth by the city. Notably, the perimeter walls along the north, south, and west sides will be raised from 6 feet to 8 feet, complemented by a decorative wall at the front of the property. The architectural design features include awnings above windows, extruded cornices, and a diverse color palette for the stucco and stone accents.

Public input on the proposal has been solicited, with a sign posted around the property to inform the community. The meeting highlighted the careful consideration of both the development's design and its compatibility with the surrounding area, marking a significant step in the potential transformation of the site.
