Planning & Zoning Commission - 11/06/2024

The City of Goodyear Planning & Zoning Commission met on November 6, 2024, to discuss several agenda items including updates to the city's design guidelines manual and amendments to the comprehensive sign plan (CSP) for the Goodyear Civic Square (GSQ) area. The commission reviewed the proposed design guidelines manual update aimed at enhancing quality design standards and providing flexibility for affordable housing development. The commission recommended approval of the updated manual to the City Council. Additionally, the commission considered a major amendment to the GSQ CSP to allow greater signage flexibility, including increased sign sizes and visibility for tenants, particularly for canopy and monument signs. The amendment was recommended for approval and will be forwarded to the City Council. The meeting also included approval of the 2025 Planning and Zoning calendar and staff communications about new personnel. No direct contract awards or procurement decisions were made, but the sign plan amendment and design guidelines update could influence future development and vendor opportunities in the city.
