Developer to request continuance for Solis/Waterview project
The developer of the proposed Solis Scottsdale Resort and Residences northeast of Camelback and Scottsdale roads is requesting a continuance of the case at the Oct. 1 Planning Commission meeting.
The developer is requesting more time – until an Oct. 22 commission meeting -- for all interested parties to review and respond to proposed stipulations that are part of the case. The meeting begins at 5 p.m. at City Hall, 3939 N. Drinkwater Blvd.
The Planning Commission report on the case and stipulations is available at http://eservices.scottsdaleaz.gov/planning/projectsummary/pc_reports/PC_9_ZN_2007.pdf.
The Planning Commission had been set to consider a rezoning request for the Solis site, abandonment of alleys and a portion of Buckboard Trail north of Camelback Road, and a proposed alley abandonment related to a proposal to relocate an electrical substation from the Solis site to a site at 68th Street and Indian School.
The Solis project, formerly known as Waterview, is a proposed mixed-use development of condominiums and a resort hotel on about 11.5 acres along the southern bank of the Arizona Canal north of Camelback Road.
The developer has proposed moving an existing Salt River Project substation from the Solis site to the northeast corner of 68th Street and Indian School Road. While SRP substations are not subject to city approval, the proposal would require the city to abandon an affected alley. Such abandonments are subject to City Council approval.
The most recent plans for the Solis project propose six buildings, including the resort hotel and condominiums. The current plans include 250 hotel rooms, 151 condominiums, 16 penthouses, restaurants, meetings rooms, a spa and underground parking, as well as canal bank improvements and a one-acre public park.
