DC Ranch Annual Report 2023

PUBLIC
AFFAIRS
The Community Council was actively involved with two developments that
will be built near, but not within, DC Ranch.
The first, a 52-lot residential subdivision, is located at the southeast corner
of 94th St. and Bell Rd. In working with both the city and the developer,
DC Ranch was able to better buffer where the new homes will border
the Desert Haciendas neighborhood with the addition of trees along the
boundary and getting a pathway removed that would have led into that
area. DC Ranch also advocated for the developer to install a crosswalk on
94th St. and a path along the east side of 94th St. to Bell Rd. Both will be
included in the project.
The second development, Mack Innovation Park, will consist of eight large
warehouse buildings on the east side of Loop 101. The project required two
Scottsdale Development Review Board hearings. DC Ranch was able to
impact the project by securing a ‘No Truck Zone’ in both directions on 91st
St. to south of the DC Ranch Corporate Center, the addition of trees for
more screening along Pima Rd., changes to building elevations (recessed
areas) to break up the massing and adjustments to the roof parapets that
will better screen mechanical equipment.
