It is a luxury to have a 500-acre rezone case in the middle-of-nowhere Arizona. But try getting a 7-lot subdivision approved on a 2.14-acre residential infill parcel in the middle of Phoenix and suddenly it seems like the whole world is falling apart.
That was the recent situation TruVista Homes faced for their newest development called Vista Del Paraiso planned at 43rd Street and Carol Ann Lane in Phoenix. The challenge with infill redevelopment is you’re typically developing a remnant parcel surrounded by different developments and uses on each side. So even though your site plan takes into consideration issues and conditions around you, one change benefiting an adjacent property owner may turn other adjoining neighbors against you.
