Banner Health’s $750M Scottsdale hospital project faces delay as planning vote postponed

A public vote on Banner Health’s proposed expansion to its multi-phased, $750 million Scottsdale Medical Campus has been delayed.

The Scottsdale Planning Commission did not vote during its Jan. 14 meeting on whether to recommend approval for a zoning change and a conditional use permit for the hospital’s 31-acre development in north Scottsdale.

Instead, the applicant, attorney Susan Demmitt of Gammage & Burnham, asked the commission for a continuance with an undetermined date to work through issues and questions that came up during the meeting.

Concerns brought up by commission members included the hospital’s proximity to the busy Scottsdale Airport, traffic in the area and the impact the hospital could have on the nearby fire department and ambulance services.
