Planning & Zoning Commission - 10/15/2025

The City of Goodyear Planning and Zoning Commission held a meeting on October 15, 2025, primarily focused on land use and zoning matters. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a use permit for a multi-tenant convenience use drive-thru restaurant on a 1.86-acre parcel, with conditions addressing operational hours, noise, lighting, and odor control. The commission recommended approval to the city council, which will make the final decision. Additionally, the commission received an update on the comprehensive zoning ordinance rewrite, including potential changes to permitted uses, use permits, housing product types, and temporary signage regulations. The update aimed to streamline development processes, expand housing diversity, and enhance notification practices for public hearings. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were discussed, but the zoning ordinance update involves consultant Michael Baker International. The commission also discussed public notification distances and potential zoning code amendments to support housing and commercial development.
