Southwest Corner of Deer Valley Drive and Black Mountain Parkway
City of Phoenix Planning Case Nos:
| Project Summary
This firm represents Vestar Development (“Vestar,” or the “Applicant”), one of the preeminent operators of retail properties in the Southwest. On behalf of Vestar, we are submitting this application to request a Major Amendment to the Desert Ridge Specific Plan for the proposed development of approximately 20.5 acres of property located at the southwest corner of Deer Valley Drive and Black Mountain Parkway in Phoenix (the “Property”). The Property is known as a portion of Parcel 12.L, within Superblock 12 of the Desert Ridge Specific Plan. It is also known as Maricopa County Assessor number 212-38-023B and is shown in the below aerial outlined in red. It is important to note that the Property is currently owned by the Arizona State Land Department (ASLD). Vestar will be required to procure the land through ASLD’s public auction process. Vestar is proposing to develop the unimproved Property as a retail shopping center called Black Mountain Village. Black Mountain Village will feature a neighborhood grocery store and inline retail opportunities, with pads on the perimeter of the Property for dining opportunities (the “Project”). The Project will also feature appropriate parking, lighting and landscaping improvements. In order to accommodate the development of the Project, Vestar is requesting:
The general purpose of these requests is to facilitate the development of the Property to accommodate the growing demand and need for additional commercial and retail options in the Desert Ridge area. The proposed Project represents an appropriate type of low-impact commercial development that will transform this vacant site with attractive buildings and related site and landscape improvements.
