The site is situated north and south between West Route 66 and Interstate 40 and east and west between Woody Mountain Road and Flagstaff Ranch Road.

Key Considerations:
Timber Sky will be developed in four phases with both the on-site and off-site infrastructure improvements. A Development Agreement was approved in conjunction with the Annexation, Concept Zoning Map Amendment, and Preliminary Block Plat that covers workforce housing, outdoor lighting, Homeowners Association requirements and infrastructure plans. The development of a housing affordability plan was required prior to the approval of the first final plat. This plan has been submitted to and approved by the Housing Division. A total of 27-units have been identified in phase one to be land trust units. Specific affordable housing units will be identified by the builders within each block. The majority of units are intended to be provided in the Medium Density Residential (MR) and High Density Residential (HR) zones.
