The future of a proposed 160-apartment complex project in Flagstaff, Arizona is uncertain.
The Trinsic Residential Group, which is based in Dallas, has said that it wants to build the complex just to the west of the intersection of High Country Lane and Lake Mary Road.
As imagined, what is being called Aura Flagstaff would see the construction of apartments housed in eight separate buildings on a 16-acre site.
The apartments themselves would include 112 one-bedroom units, with the rest comprised of two bedrooms. An initial presentation for the project called for the construction of 173 units.
Residents living in the nearby Pondarosa Trails neighborhood have expressed opposition to the project, concerned about an increase in traffic that will be sparked by the complex, not to mention the three-story heights of several of Aura Flagstaff’s proposed structures.
The site in question is a part of the historic Auza Family Ranch, used for decades for livestock herding.
Members of the Flagstaff City Council, meanwhile, have been reviewing the arguments pro and con for changing the site zoning for the project from its current estate residential zoning classification to a medium-density designation.
But in its most recent meeting, the council decided to postpone making a final decision on the matter until the first week of June.
