330 acres in southeast Maricopa to be developed

Developer Maricopa Hartman LLP has applied to the city of Maricopa to create the Sanctuary Planned Area Development (PAD), which would create a new, 330-acre master-planned community at the northeast corner of W. Maricopa Casa Grande Highway and N. Hartman Road.

The community is proposed as a mixed-use project that could include elements such as single-family residential, multi-family residential, commercial and/or industrial. The application says that “development of this PAD allows the applicant to bring a vital and vibrant, village-scaled development to the City of Maricopa.”

The PAD includes two parcels. The larger of the two originally was part of the Eagle Shadow PAD. The request is to rezone the parcels from the existing single-family residence, general business and general rural to a PAD, “to allow for an innovative set of single-family subdivisions and neighborhoods that are planned as part of a larger master plan.”

The plan is to allow the development of the overall project site in two phases, with Phase 1 building out the northern two-thirds of the project site, including the collector roadway extending to and intersecting with State Route 238. The southern third of the project is planned as Phase 2 of development.
