Big apartment project planned for Riverview
Mesa’s Planning and Zoning Board OK’d a luxury four-story, 416-unit apartment project between Mesa Riverview Mall and Riverview Park that developers say will provide an “urban architectural style.” They’re asking to rezone to multifamily residential with Bonus Intensity Zone overlay to give more leeway with the design. Residential units will obscure a parking structure to preserve aesthetics and mitigate the heat island effect of a surface lot. The board raised the usual questions about traffic, but fears were allayed and the vote was unanimously in favor of the project, so it now goes to the city council.
