Background/History:
In June of 2000, the City Council approved a rezoning request and development agreement allowing the development of Pine Canyon, which includes a mixture of condominium, estate twin houses (duplex units), estate homes, clubhouse and recreational facilities, maintenance and storage facilities, and an 18-hole private golf course with accessory facilities, located on approximately 660 acres. The primary entrance to Pine Canyon is located at the intersection of Lone Tree Road and John Wesley Powell Blvd.
The applicant, Mogollon Engineering, representing True Life Communities PC AZ, is seeking final plat approval for a 36-unit residential townhouse subdivision within the larger Pine Canyon Development. In 2006, the subject site was recorded as a final plat intended for 60 condominium dwelling units. All of the infrastructure for the project has been installed as part of the condominium project. Three buildings containing 12 dwelling units have been constructed and will remain as part of the original Mountain Vista Condominium at Pine Canyon subdivision. The property owner intends to abandon the remaining 48 condominium units within a total 12 buildings, and re-plat the remainder of the subdivision for the proposed townhomes. The original condominium subdivision included a mix of three and four unit structures while under the new townhouse plat all structures will be designed in groups of three units.
Several development standards have changed since 2006, including a new Zoning Code, new driveway ordinance, new stormwater standards, new engineering standards, new landscaping standards, and new building placement standards. The applicant does not intend to change the design of the improved subdivision but simply intends to change the ownership type in light of recent lending restrictions. As such, the applicant was allowed to utilize the plans prepared and approved in conjunction with the existing condominium plat since the site has already been disturbed and necessary infrastructure has already installed.
