Avondale's tallest building is projected to sit on 160 acres as part of a development boasting hotels, residential towers, a retail and office commerce park, and homes.
The City Council last week agreed to rezone land at the southwestern corner of 99th Avenue and Indian School Road for the project, called Entorno.
Councilman Jim Buster, who lives near the site, said he was concerned about the height of the building, which likely would be the city's tallest at eight stories high.

"Anytime you go over four stories, people start to get nervous," he said.
But Councilman Ken Weise and Vice Mayor Charles Wolf both said the time has come to look at taller buildings near the Loop 101 corridor.
Weise said he would like to see the building even taller than eight stories.
Wolf agreed, saying the corridor is exploding with development, and Avondale should be ready to catch some of the investment along that freeway.
"Even a little bit taller along that corridor wouldn't hurt," he said.

Good sentiment from local governments regarding building height along that corridor.
