City Council Work Session - 11/03/2025

The City of Goodyear held a City Council Work Session on November 3, 2025, focused primarily on updates and discussions related to the comprehensive review and rewrite of the city's zoning ordinance, last updated in 1999. Key procurement-related topics included potential changes to temporary signage regulations for multifamily developments, public notification requirements for zoning and development projects, and streamlining the permitting process for certain residential, commercial, and industrial uses. The council discussed expanding housing options, including executive housing and manufactured homes, to meet strategic goals and state legislative requirements. No contract awards or specific procurement actions were taken during the session, but the council provided guidance for staff to continue drafting the updated zoning ordinance, with plans to return in spring 2026 for further review. The meeting concluded with a vote to enter executive session to discuss legal advice and contract-related matters, though details of those discussions were not included in the transcript.
