Last month, K & I Homes held an open house to present a planned medical office and residential project near Earll Drive and Civic Center Plaza in Old Town Scottsdale to community members.
The plan, presented by K & I Homes’ Kristjan Sigurdsson, would develop the Clayton Medical Suites and Residences on a two-acre property converted from five current lots and deliver 124 residential units over four floors sitting atop one floor of medical office space.
Sigurdsson said the application to officially start the approval and development process with the City of Scottsdale should be submitted by May 10.
The requests will include a rezoning from business to mixed-use, and the project will be reviewed by both the Scottsdale Planning Commission and the Development Review Board before going to City Council for approval. Since the applications have not yet been filed, no meeting or hearing dates have been set.
Following the April 16 open house, Sigurdsson said he found the attendees to be generally receptive to the proposal.
There was an issue with nomenclature, with one attendee saying he felt deceived since the project is actually planned for five stories, not four as the attendee initially thought. Sigurdsson explained the plan is for four stories of residential over one floor of the office. (Source)
