City Council Regular Meeting - 01/26/2026

The City Council of Goodyear held a regular meeting on January 26, 2026, where several procurement-related and development matters were discussed. Key agenda items included approval of intergovernmental agreements for roadway improvements and fire apparatus use, budget amendments, and adoption of legislative agendas. A significant portion of the meeting focused on the Rio 1900 development project, involving a minor general plan amendment and rezoning to allow mixed residential densities, commercial uses, and open space. The council discussed infrastructure improvements, including timing for the Cotton Lane bridge and road expansions, water supply assurances, and development impact fees. The council also considered zoning modifications to allow up to three drive-through establishments with use permits and a reduction in parking requirements for medical office buildings from one space per 150 to one per 200 square feet, with the understanding that future citywide parking standards would be reviewed. The council approved these zoning amendments with the recommended modifications. Additionally, the council approved a 5% salary increase for the mayor, vice mayor, and council members effective July 2026, following recommendations from the council compensation committee. No other procurement contracts or vendor selections were reported during the meeting.
