  City Council to hold special meeting
  January 28 about Solis project

The proposed Solis Scottsdale Resort and Residences northeast of Camelback and Scottsdale roads will be reviewed by the Scottsdale City Council at a special meeting on Jan. 28. The meeting begins at 5 p.m. at City Hall, 3939 N. Drinkwater Blvd. The case was moved from the regular Jan. 27 agenda to allow additional time for discussion and public comment.

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 68^th 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.

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, retail, restaurants, meeting rooms, a spa and underground parking, as well as canal bank improvements and a one-acre public park.

Two neighborhood meetings were held in November and December to gather additional public input. More information about the project is available at https://eservices.scottsdaleaz.gov/eServices/Cases/casesheet.aspx?caseid=33819
