Request for potentially 1322 more new homes


This sign for a request for an amendment to the Queen Creek general plan can be found on Queen Creek Road in a farm area about two miles east of the Barney Family Sports Complex.
The request is from the law firm of Pew and Lake who specialize in zoning permits.
The request pertains to 357 acres at NW Queen Creek Rd and Meridian. It is asking for a parcels to be designated for Type A, community ccommercial and Type B industrial. It also asks for 138 acres to be designated high density residential. That would be 0-5 homes on an acre. Potentially that would be 690 homes. It also asks for 79 acres of additional medium to high density homes that could include 0-8 homes per acre for another 632 potential homes.
Grand total - potentially 1322 MORE new homes in Queen Creek.
Hmmm. Two cars per home = 2644 MORE cars on our newly created roads. Sounds like we need to widen all of the roads AGAIN.
People - don't we have enough EMPTY or foreclosed homes to go around without creating additional traffic and water stresses on the area? I still support a moratorium on home building in this area until our economy improves. Bring on the additional employment, but please consider slowing the home building.
