4 issues in development with high priority
Town Center Specific Plan and $11.2M Infrastructure Commitment
Prescott Valley is landing new businesses — Freddy's Frozen Custard, Arizona Archery's 100,000-square-foot facility with 50 jobs, and a pending PVMX contract. Staff acknowledged referendum fights (like Amazon's) have chilled some site-selection interest statewide.
Affordable Housing Impact Fee Assistance
A proposed program would waive up to $150,000 in impact fees per project for affordable and workforce housing, tiered by income — 100% for households at or below 60% AMI. It comes from the $200,000 annual housing fund already approved.
Potential sale of Addis Avenue right-of-way
The vacant town right-of-way near Viewpoint and Addis has been a source of code complaints and parking chaos. Selling it for commercial development would add 49 parking spaces, a public plaza, and sidewalks — but means ongoing maintenance costs if the town keeps it.
Viewpoint North Development Agreement
After 31 years, the last undeveloped chunk of Viewpoint gets a plan: new water and wastewater infrastructure, four-lane roads south of Summer Vista, a signal at Viewpoint and Parkview, and open space improvements. Current residents get sidewalks and safer traffic; some worry about HOA maintenance costs.
