Tempe Development Review Commission voted to recommend that city council approve a zoning map amendment and planned development overlay for a new 20-story development, despite some commissioners being against the approval.
Nova Tempe, located at 835 S Rural Road, aims to create 950 dwelling units and 13,260 square feet of commercial space. A variety of commercial uses already exist at the site including a gas station, retail and restaurants.
The applicant for the project Nick Wood of Snell & Wilmer and senior planner at the city Karen Stovall gave brief presentations at the Nov. 12 meeting, going over the scope of the project and the public outreach done in developing the proposed project.
