Final replats within a 350-acre site at the Sereno Canyon Community development to establish 27 resort units have been approved by Scottsdale City Council.

On Nov. 12, the City Council approved Serena Canyon Phase 4B1 final replat portions of lots 1 and 3, on approximately 12.47 acres of the large development.

The applicant’s request was to receive approval of a final plat to establish a residential and resort community, according to a city staff report.

Prior to this proposed final plat phase, there were six final plats approved by the City Council. These six phases replatted 29 lots to 75 lots, the staff report states, bringing the total number of lots within Sereno Canyon project from 100 to 148.

This proposal will increase the number of existing lots, within the entire Sereno Canyon project area, from 148 to 175 by replatting Phase 4, portions of lots 1 and 3 to create 16 lots and associated tracts.

There will be further phases in the future to yield the remaining six lots, and the 218 additional resort lots approved within an earlier zoning case.
The site has had three cases approved that entitled the entire 50-acre site to ultimately achieve a combination of single-family, townhome lots, and a resort/spa development.

The newly-approved final plat 4B1 will establish 27 resort lots of the approved 299 resort lots/key units within the Phase 4 portion of the resort/spa development.

The Phase 4 portion of the site contains 127.62 acres of the total Sereno Canyon site, the staff report states.

Approval of five other final plats occurred between August 2018 and August 2019.

Sereno Canyon is at the northwest corner of East Pinnacle Peak Road and north 128th Street, the entire site stretches from east Pinnacle Peak Road, north, to east Ranchgate Road.
