2. 
The request will allow for single-family residential development at 3 dwelling 
units per acre, as proposed by the companion rezoning case, Z-62-18-2. The 
proposed development will provide a maximum of 1,420 single-family units, 
which supports the City’s need for additional housing. 
 
 
3. 
The parcel is one of the last privately owned properties in the area and as 
recommended by the North Black Canyon Corridor Plan, property owners who 
want to rezone a site within the Infrastructure Phasing Overlay area can file a 
General Plan Amendment to remove the overlay designation from their 
property.
