Shea Homes Project Bypasses DRB | Phoenix News

Scottsdale’s development game is changing — a massive new Shea Homes luxury community in North Scottsdale, featuring 77 single-family homes on 95 acres, is now sliding through an administrative review process thanks to a new state law. Once a public spectacle requiring intense DRB scrutiny, this project — near Happy Valley and Pima roads — is now quietly being evaluated by city staff using objective standards, bypassing public hearings. While some reviews initially stalled, the application remains active, set for Planning Commission approval before City Council. With Shea’s promise of desert-sensitive design and upscale living, this shift signals a quieter, faster path for big developments — raising questions about transparency and community input.
