We attended the Vistancia Community Neighborhood Meeting about “FIVE NORTH at Vistancia” (aka the commercial core) on Wednesday, June 7th. As promised, here is our recap plus info on where you can find the full details about the project. MAIN TAKEAWAYS: -This is the same developer that built the 4 Vistancia housing communities (Trilogy, Blackstone, The Village, and Northpointe) over the past 23 years and they have been committed to creating a high-quality product that they are proud of in Vistancia -The developer is requesting an increase in the total # of residential units by 1,500 in ALL of Vistancia to put in additional multi-family units in FIVE NORTH -The increase would take the total number of residential units from 10,500 to 12,000 in ALL of Vistancia (10,100 of those are already single-family homes in the 4 Vistancia neighborhoods) - The # of residential units was decreased in 2012 from 17,334 to 10,500 in response to decreased market demand at that time -Now the developer is asking to add some of those units back via this amendment (the 16th amendment to the plan in 20+ years) to adjust to the changing market and needs in order to finally make this project a reality - Bringing in high-quality restaurants and retail is NOT possible without the additional residential multi-family units in FIVE NORTH (this has been the message we have also received in talking with many of the businesses we are trying to recruit) - "Section 8 is not part of this plan" as stated by the developer - If this doesn’t happen NOW, then the alternative will be for the developer to sell off the land, parcel by parcel, and it will get developed with NO cohesive plan (places that are itching to open here are auto parts stores, nail salons, thrift stores, fast food, dentists, etc. and all are permitted under the current zoning, however, that is not the quality of tenants the community wants in Vistancia or that FIVE NORTH plans include) For more information, please see https://www.visitfivenorth.com and https://zoningvist.com which includes the FULL PRESENTATION of slides from Wednesday night addressing schools, water, etc. Questions? See the FAQ on https://zoningvist.com or leave a comment on our social media post about this on 6/9/23 and we will try to reply with answers based on what was explained at the meeting. Thank you for taking the time to read this and educate yourself on the facts! #upperwestsidephx #uwsphx #peoriaaz #peoriaarizona #peoriaazrealestate #vistancia #vistanciaaz #blackstoneaz #westvalleyaz #westvalley #northpeoria #tsmc #WESTMARC #commercialrealestate #VibrantCommunity #CommunitySupport #communitymatters #communitydevelopment #multigenerational #multigenerationalliving #fivenorthatvistancia #zipcode85383 #85383
