The Avondale Planning Commission has recommended approval for a rezoning request to create a 45-acre mixed-use development called The District at Crystal Springs. The development will include healthcare facilities, commercial spaces, residential and hospitality uses, with the potential for a hotel and restaurants. The site will be divided into five parcels, including multifamily apartments, commercial spaces, an Encompass Health hospital, and multifamily townhomes. The District at Crystal Springs aims to provide a residential base for the development’s healthcare component and a built-in customer base for retail and commercial offerings.
