83-038 — Residential condominium development (14 units in 7 buildings)
This case involves a text amendment and special use permit for a 14-unit residential condominium development at the corner of Carefree Drive and Sidewinder Road in the Village Center. The project would redevelop an underdeveloped 0.97-acre parcel in a commercial zone by allowing residential uses with a special use permit, requiring town council approval to expand residential development opportunities beyond Easy Street frontage properties. The development aligns with the Village Center Redevelopment Plan's goal of creating attainable housing and activating the town center with a permanent residential population.
83-037 — Residential condominium development (14 units in 7 two-story buildings)
A proposal to amend the zoning ordinance to allow residential-only condominium development (14 units) in the Commercial zoning district of the Town Center, departing from current mixed-use requirements. Staff has concerns about the loss of commercially designated property and the lack of clear development standards that would apply to future projects in this district.
38-431 — other
The Town of Carefree is proposing a zoning ordinance text amendment to establish minimum floor area requirements for newly constructed single-family residential dwellings across various zoning districts (ranging from 1,500 to 2,000 square feet depending on district). This amendment is designed to comply with Arizona Senate Bill 1529 while preserving the Town's low-density, semi-rural character by preventing the state-mandated inclusion of smaller 800-square-foot homes in preapproved housing plan libraries. Developers should monitor this case as it will directly affect minimum dwelling size standards and development feasibility in all residential zones throughout Carefree.
