What changed

Tempe City Council held the first public hearing on the GID-to-MU-4 zoning map amendment and PAD overlay for the 376-unit proposal. A second and final hearing was scheduled for October 15.

Why it matters for sitework

The project has moved beyond commission review into City Council entitlement hearings, giving site contractors a clearer timing signal.

Likely work

Meaningful future sitework opportunity, but not yet fully entitled.

Likely scope, not confirmed contract scope: Likely substantial grading, wet and dry utilities, drainage, parking/site preparation, access work and building-pad/foundation preparation across roughly 25 acres.
