Planning & Zoning Commission - 09/11/2024

The City of Goodyear Planning and Zoning Commission held a meeting on September 11, 2024, primarily to discuss a zoning ordinance text amendment related to the allowance of up to six chickens in single-family residential districts, excluding roosters due to noise concerns. The amendment aligns with recent state legislation (House Bill 2325) and includes provisions on enclosure size, maintenance, and pest control. The commission voted to recommend approval of the amendment, which will be forwarded to the City Council for final decision. Additionally, the commission reviewed prior zoning amendments related to roof height and gas stations, noting that some proposed amendments will be reconsidered as part of a broader zoning ordinance rewrite. Upcoming amendments related to accessory dwelling units were also mentioned. No direct procurement, contract awards, or budget allocations were discussed during this meeting.
