May 11, 2026 Planning and Zoning Meeting

The Town of Fountain Hills Planning and Zoning Commission held a regular meeting on May 11, 2026, focusing primarily on zoning ordinance amendments and land use issues. Key procurement-related discussions included consideration of ordinance 26-11 to amend sign regulations, specifically increasing the allowed size and height of drive-thru menu board signs to align with industry standards and neighboring communities. The commission unanimously approved this amendment. Another significant topic was ordinance 26-10, proposing amendments to allow office uses by special use permit in single-family and multi-family residential zoning districts to address potential reuse of former school buildings and other non-residential properties. The commission engaged in extensive discussion about the implications for neighborhoods, potential commercial impacts, and the need for further study before any final action. Additionally, the commission reviewed draft revisions to the multi-family zoning district ordinance aimed at reorganizing and clarifying use categories and development standards, with no immediate changes to procurement or contracting. No contract awards, vendor selections, or budget allocations were discussed during this meeting.
