A 310-unit apartment complex and mixed-use proposal near 92nd Street and Shea Boulevard has earned a 4-3 recommendation for approval from the Scottsdale Planning Commission.
92 Ironwood’s developer – Caliber Companies – sought a general plan amendment and rezoning from commercial to Planned Unit Development Planned Community Development District for the mixed-use project. In addition to the apartments, plans call for medical office and retail space on the 8.5-acre site, located across the street from an Honor Health hospital.
Opponents, including those voting against it on the Commission, objected to the project’s density, potential traffic impacts and impacts to neighborhood character. Supporters, including members of the Arizona Nurses Association, praised the plan as a practical residential opportunity for healthcare workers and others seeking attainable housing in the area, which has not seen any new multifamily development in years.
The plan goes before Scottsdale City Council on October 5th. (Source)
