A residential subdivision of about 785 homes at Meridian and Combs roads is the largest of 15 approved, active private projects on a list Queen Creek's Development Services Department will walk through at Thursday's Transportation Advisory Committee meeting.
The update is one of three staff presentations in the committee's Nov. 12 packet. Parks and Recreation will also report on the town's trail system, including counter data for its two main wash trails. The meeting starts at 6:30 p.m. in the San Tan Conference Room of the Municipal Services Building, 22358 S. Ellsworth Road.
Homes
Olea, also known as Bosma Farms, covers roughly 100 acres at the northeast corner of Meridian and Combs and combines detached houses, townhomes and homes served by rear alleys, according to the slides. Its builder is responsible for full half-street improvements on the east side of Meridian Road.
Other residential projects on the list:
- Elanto at Queen Creek: 320 single-family homes and townhomes at the southeast corner of Meridian and Ranch Road (Ryan Road), with offsite work on both streets.
- Barney Farms Phase 5: 211 lots on 46 acres at the northwest corner of Meridian and Ryan, where rough grading has started.
- Amavi: 166 townhomes at the northeast corner of Rittenhouse and Sossaman roads.
- Legado West Phase 2: 87 lots on 25 acres at the southwest corner of Ocotillo and Power roads, south of Sonoqui Wash.
Commercial and employment
The largest commercial building on the list is a four-story, 124-room Homewood Suites hotel of about 90,800 square feet, planned with an outdoor pool at the southwest corner of Rittenhouse and Ellsworth roads.
Nearby at Ellsworth Loop and Ocotillo, the slides list the Switchyard restaurant, retail, office and apartment development, which brings two northbound deceleration lanes and a southbound left-turn lane on Ellsworth, and a two-story, 20,000-square-foot medical building called The Matheson.
