Planning & Zoning Commission - 11/04/2026

The City of Goodyear Planning and Zoning Commission meeting was held November 4, 2026. The commission approved the consent agenda, including the minutes and the 2027 meeting calendar. It also voted to recommend approval of rezoning approximately 1,019.5 acres for the Tierra Santa PAD, a proposed master-planned community with residential, commercial, multifamily, and open-space uses. The plan includes a commercial area where the applicant hopes to attract a regional medical center. Commissioners and residents discussed the proposed Loop 303 alignment, traffic, water and flooding concerns, environmental impacts, and compatibility with nearby rural residents. The recommendation was forwarded to City Council for its November 16 meeting.

The commission also considered a request to amend the Palm Valley Crossing PAD, covering approximately 137.77 acres. A New Life Center representative raised concerns that construction-related changes to traffic and access could reduce donations to the nonprofit’s resale store and affect its funding. A motion and second were made, but the transcript does not capture the staff recommendation in full or the outcome of the item. No procurement activity, contract awards, or spending approvals were identified.
