Council approves preliminary plat for Holiday subdivision

At its regular meeting on Thursday, the Sierra Vista City Council voted to approve preliminary plat for the development of Estates II at Holiday subdivision.

Castle & Cooke, in conjunction with Walston Homes, is proposing to construct 10 detached single-family homes in Estates II, located northwest of the intersection of Canyon de Flores and Great Basin Lane. The subdivision will encompass 4.5 acres and be developed in one phase.

This preliminary approval begins the process as development plans move forward to bring a final plat before Council. After approval of a final plat, construction can begin.
