The Phoenix Planning Commission has approved a rezone that paves the way for the city to sell 87 acres of land in Laveen to the Arizona Department of Transportation for development of SR 30.
SR 30 will connect the Loop 202 and Loop 303 freeways. ADOT will use the land purchased from Phoenix for whatever rights of way the project needs and then sell any remaining land bordering the freeway.
Phoenix City Council delayed a vote on the sale in October of last year and again in January to give staff more time to review the request.
The current general plan amendment and rezoning request will now go to the Estrella Village Planning Commission, have a community meeting and then return to the Phoenix Planning Commission for a final vote before going back to Phoenix City Council for a decision. Council action is expected this fall. (Source)
