The City of Goodyear Planning & Zoning Commission held a meeting on January 15, 2025. The meeting included procedural items such as excusing absent commissioners and electing a chair and vice chair for the commission. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to an update from the Development Services Director on the city's strategic plan, which includes focus areas related to economic vitality, safe and vibrant community development, and infrastructure. Key procurement-related topics discussed involved upcoming capital improvement projects (CIP), including a major project to comprehensively rewrite the zoning ordinance, which has not been updated since 1999. The director also addressed concerns about delays in a traffic light installation project on Indian School Road, explaining it is a CIP project involving coordination with state land and private development.
