The Camp Verde Town Council approved the final plat for a 20-lot commercial subdivision for the Verde Commercial planned area development located at 300 North Goswick Way at its regular meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 3.
In April, the council approved a resolution adopting a development agreement between the town and the developer, Verde Commercial, and later that month approved the preliminary plat. Approval of the final plat allows the 20 lots to be developed with commercial uses upon the existing 58.86-acre parcel.
Acting Senior Planner Cory Mulcaire explained this is a project that’s been going on for quite some time, but is on the precipice of being ready to start construction. All documents have been reviewed by town staff and other reviewing agencies.
Councilwoman Jessie Murdock asked the developer, Blake Carroll, and engineer, Joe Link, to provide a brief overview of what their plan is for the development and who they’re marketing the lots to.
“[We are] definitely pursuing retail and additional restaurant use along the I-17 PADs, as well as the PADs fronting [State Route] 260,” Carroll said, as well as more commercial and industrial users on the side with the UPS facility on George Rothrock Road the Verde Commercial parcel encloses on three sides. “Pretty soon, we should be able to announce some exciting new retail projects up along Goswick Way fronting I-17.”
Mayor Marie Moore asked if Camp Verde is getting a new grocery store. Carroll replied he is working hard to see if he can make that happen.
Link said over the past year, the developer and town had been working on adding an acre worth of land into the subdivision to be dedicated to the town for a water storage tank facility and booster pump.
No members of the public spoke. The final plat was approved unanimously.
