Rezoning 23 acres to General Commercial at John Wayne Parkway and Honeycutt
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.

Food truck court rezone at Mercado and Main
The city is helping a property owner rezone three small parcels so a food truck court can open, possibly in time for October's First Fridays event. Neighbors and commissioners worry about parking spillover, traffic, noise, and utility capacity — enough that the rezone was tabled for another day.
