This case involves comprehensive revisions to the Town's wireless tower and telecommunications facility ordinance, including new setback requirements (500 feet from residential areas), expanded documentation requirements for applications, and enhanced protections for RF emissions compliance and aesthetic impacts. The changes will streamline permit application review while requiring more detailed siting standards and environmental evaluations that could affect wireless providers' deployment timelines and costs. Developers proposing telecommunications infrastructure in Fountain Hills should be aware of the stricter separation distances from residential properties and increased administrative requirements for new tower permits.
Ordinance 26-10 — text_amendment
This ordinance amendment expands permitted office uses in residential zoning districts by adding special use permit provisions to both single-family and multifamily zones. Developers proposing office uses in residential areas will need to obtain a special use permit rather than being prohibited or requiring rezoning.
Ordinance 26-11 — text_amendment

22-564 — 29-lot luxury single-family residential subdivision
Toll Brothers is seeking to rezone approximately 19 acres of FHUSD property from R1-35 to R1-10A zoning to develop a 29-lot single-family residential subdivision with single-story homes, with approximately 9 acres of wash area remaining undisturbed. Neighbor concerns focus on increased density, traffic impacts, view preservation, and loss of open space, though some support the development for maintaining compatible lot sizes and the quality of Toll Brothers' product. This case will move to Town Council for a second hearing on April 21, 2026, after the March 9 Planning & Zoning Commission hearing.

This rezoning would enable development of 29 single-family residential lots on the subject property. Developers should assess whether this density increase aligns with market conditions and whether the project meets all conditions of the R1-10A district.
