Rezoning 23 acres to General Commercial at John Wayne Parkway and Honeycutt
Summary
Nearly 23 acres near the Lowe's/Aldi shopping center were rezoned to allow stores over 40,000 square feet, with a Mountainside Fitness gym lease already signed. It's a step toward more local shopping options, but neighbors worry about traffic cutting through the Desert Cedars neighborhood.
