The Fountain Hills Planning and Zoning Commission had no problems recommending approval of a special use permit (SUP) application to allow residential housing units as part of an existing office building on Avenue of the Fountains.
The building known as the Belvedere Suites at 16622 Avenue of the Fountains has been in partial use as a boutique hotel since earlier this year. The owner, Vladimir Buer asked for the SUP so he can convert the suites to residential homes. The application is for up to five units.
All the top floor of the two-story structure would be residential with rear units on the first floor converted to homes. Suites on the first floor facing the Avenue will remain as retail and office as they currently are.
