Planning and Zoning Commission - Apr 28, 2026
The final piece of the Water's Edge subdivision needed a rezoning to match the lot sizes the City Council already approved. Without it, the developer loses two lots — but also the 50-foot no-build buffer and public trail that protect neighbors. The commission forwarded its unanimous approval recommendation to the Council.
City Council - Feb 17, 2026
A 62-lot gated subdivision is coming to the southwest corner of Show Low Lake — well under the 188 units originally allowed, but a zone change is still needed for the recently annexed southern piece.
