Council considers new subdivision; road-repair work

The Maricopa City Council will vote Tuesday on a preliminary plat for a new development named Cortona with 1,480 residential units.

The approximately 487-acre plot of land is south of Farrell Road, west of Murphy Road, north of Steen Road and east of Hartman Road.

The council also will vote on the site plan for the regional park next to the multigenerational center and aquatic center on the corner of John Wayne Parkway and Bowlin Road.

The park will feature a lake, amphitheater, dog parks and a skate park as well as traditional amenities.

In other action, members of the council will decide what to name the new neighborhood park in the Heritage District at Lexington and Roosevelt avenues, choosing between three resident-submitted names: Heritage Park, Estrella Park and Old Town Park.
