Planning manager Ken Galica (recorded as Mr. Galica) presented the proposal and noted a project name change from Buckeye 225 to Land 85. The plan covers multiple sign types: two Land 85 identification monuments at project corners (about 6 feet, 6 inches tall) designed as place‑identification, five multi‑tenant monument signs (about 19 feet tall) near primary entrances, building‑mounted tenant signage consistent with development code allowances, and one freeway‑oriented pylon adjacent to State Route 85 (taller to accommodate higher travel speeds and visibility).

Galica said the sign materials and patterns are complementary to building architecture, that multi‑tenant monuments will use internal illumination and the identification monuments will use face‑illuminated pan‑channel letters, and that landscape up‑lighting will be used for the identification monuments. He told commissioners the project requests two variations from the base code: (1) increase in the number of freestanding signs from the base limit (the project proposes eight freestanding signs where the base code allowance tied to parcel count would limit the development to four) and (2) slightly larger sign panel sizes per side than a typical industrial project allowance. Heights for sign types are within code allowances; the requested deviations are primarily about count and panel width.

Galica said staff finds the signs to be high quality, consistent with the area’s intended employment corridor character and appropriate given the site’s size, multi‑tenant nature and lack of adjacent residential uses. No public comments were submitted on this item and multiple commissioners expressed support for the design. The commission moved, seconded and approved the comprehensive sign plan subject to conditions A through C.

The approval permits the developer to proceed to permit drawings and building‑mounted sign permits consistent with the approved plan and its conditions.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning And Zoning Meeting LIVE 3/25/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Planning and Zoning Commission approved a comprehensive sign plan for Land 85 (formerly Buckeye 225), clearing requests to exceed base allowances for the number of freestanding signs and approving design, illumination and height details for campus‑style signage along State Route 85.","taxTitle","Buckeye, Maricopa County, Arizona","taxId",4652,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6575731,"Planning commission approves minor general plan amendment and PAD rezoning for 160‑acre Verrado/Yuma project",1768,1468000,3236000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3049672-772fb5cb7fee2be85ad4593c5c1aa703&start=1468&end=3236","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3049672-772fb5cb7fee2be85ad4593c5c1aa703/thumbnail_1468000.jpg","/articles/6575731/Buckeye/Maricopa-County/Arizona/Planning-commission-approves-minor-general-plan-amendment-and-PAD-rezoning-for-160acre-VerradoYuma-project","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6575731-5b6bc3eb9c9e0d97cb2c66621a1008ae/orig.mp4?Expires=1771143632&Signature=L84nlug8bNIHdy69~WQVSA3VNIM6ZaLraHG9CY9wN82el0ExfmqF2Y4wVLw~p1SSPrBeF0MzaVx21oEGIK7S4pmDhABPMTzAjlU-Hr-HSpz8kyyOvYkwCK4zMBVBKFsfkudfkDTH61D4AFZwwwYlS3JwKL67XKfL3gfr5HWKRvPbrVqmGGDYKMcegQomnIRHNNuG94lHPG2xyDpW6iqxEiw~~e0Tpd84RfMjvQ~KQyvMhYcO-UaVoCzak894qMUwYLoPiW7gQHVa6fJ9NXSTLwDK5sYdPrQ960cQJobb5iTvKUfdIRhRD4erRl~DC0~hRC6HOv6H59OxngxxUbL3WA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Buckeye Planning and Zoning Commission voted to approve two related land‑use applications for a 160‑acre master planned community at the southwest corner of Verrado Way and Yuma Road: a minor general plan amendment (case PLZU‑24‑0004) and a rezoning to Planned Area Development (PAD) (case PLZD‑24‑0005).

Mandy Woods, principal planner for the City of Buckeye, presented the combined request on behalf of the applicant, who is identified in the record as Jeffrey Bliley with Gilbert Bliley (applicant presence later referenced as Jeff Liley). Woods described a PAD that divides the site into six development units (parcels A–F) across about 160 acres. The proposal would change roughly 46 acres from the existing Neighborhood land‑use designation to a Business Commerce designation limited to that 46‑acre portion, with the remainder retaining neighborhood‑scale uses. \"This is a master plan development, 01/1960 acres total. And it's intended to develop with a mix of residential, commercial and business park uses,\" Woods said during her presentation.

Parcels were described as: Parcel A (about 14 acres) for commercial at the corner; Parcels B and C intended for multifamily (about 15–17 acres each); Parcels D and E for single‑family residential (about 27 and 39 acres, respectively); and Parcel F intended for a business park. The PAD lists permitted and conditional uses for each parcel, uses aligned to comparable city zoning districts, and specific limits on warehousing: the PAD expressly prohibits cross‑dock warehousing, sets a typical warehouse size cap at 150,000 square feet, and allows up to 200,000 square feet only by conditional use permit.

Woods described standards intended to reduce uncertainty about future development by prescribing parcel‑level development standards and listing minor modifications and design review procedures. The staff report also includes a condition requiring half‑street improvements phased with development so transportation infrastructure is provided irrespective of which parcel develops first.

A resident, Terry Mayfield, asked several public‑service questions about water rights, sewer connections and building types. Mayfield said she owns land immediately south of the proposed project and asked whether the developer had secured a certificate of assured water supply and how irrigation rights to adjacent properties would be protected. \"How do you get that, prove that 100 year water rights to promote that?\" Mayfield asked.

Applicant representative Jeff Liley responded that the project does not have a certificate of assured water supply yet, noted prior wells on the site used for the former dairy and described an agreement with the city to rely on nearby public wells. He said the team drilled a test well toward Yuma that performed well and that the developer intends the well to be a city well; he said the developer is participating in citywide efforts to secure assured water supply. On sewer, Liley said a force main currently serves the area to the Sundance wastewater treatment plant nearby and that the developer has agreed to work with the city to convert to a gravity sewer alignment via an easement along the canal if the city proceeds.

On multifamily intensity, Liley said the multifamily parcel was capped at about 25 units per acre. Woods and Liley said infrastructure phasing, school notifications and other standard PAD‑level requirements have been or will be addressed through subsequent site plans and development agreements.

A motion to approve the minor general plan amendment (PLZU‑24‑0004) was moved, seconded and carried on a voice vote; a separate motion to approve the rezoning to PAD (PLZD‑24‑0005) was subsequently moved, seconded and carried. These actions represent Planning and Zoning Commission approvals and recommendations that will proceed through the city’s annexation and municipal review processes as applicable.","The commission approved a minor General Plan amendment and a planned area development rezoning for a 160‑acre master plan at the southwest corner of Verrado Way and Yuma Road; staff and the applicant described infrastructure, water and sewer arrangements and development standards and the application includes limits on warehouse size.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6575735,"Buckeye planning panel approves AT&T conditional use permit for tower at Miller Marketplace",595,825000,1420000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3049672-772fb5cb7fee2be85ad4593c5c1aa703&start=825&end=1420","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3049672-772fb5cb7fee2be85ad4593c5c1aa703/thumbnail_825000.jpg","/articles/6575735/Buckeye/Maricopa-County/Arizona/Buckeye-planning-panel-approves-ATT-conditional-use-permit-for-tower-at-Miller-Marketplace","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6575735-d2f947ea11f3b6006cb381b1a3e742bb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771143632&Signature=PLXTnc7sjJlba0d4mFC~LU3XnlywrrYRv5zb0SFznt77zAQAu7FTA3EcLLvlSX0L1IN4VcYz5T7e9A6c0Tn3hNocAyAYJwsqkL1hlrTeqeDGNnBuM-OXih0JBgTneeiqatqxtHA6-BmZgRWMVOppZJL7AcP8URehzD0aE7XPwYxOAC8mE1U0uE0rV-s6NXykroDKvcaDyyj0EhvgAviesoClG5ODsRmw1-Qu6B76u24FmBr9lUedVf4EBwR-bhUOJNvsjNEup0S9A5exccqaNTYkYr9lIyZM5xGBdCEHK49aASul5ccdbmfJLaTbaWdiWP13Thb22iSkraQ5YLWzHA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Buckeye Planning and Zoning Commission approved a conditional use permit for AT&T to install a wireless PCS facility at the southeast corner of Miller Road and Southern Avenue. Trish Cooley, with Development Services, told commissioners the application is for case PLZU‑24‑0006 and is limited to the conditional use permit; the detailed site plan will be administratively approved only if the CUP is granted.

Cooley said the leased equipment area measures roughly 600 square feet inside Miller Marketplace and that the proposal includes one AT&T antenna array with space for one additional carrier. \"They are proposing to camouflage it as a broad leaf tree, a full elm with a CMU screen wall designed to match the existing market,\" Cooley said. She added the pole height will be 81 feet, which staff found meets the height limit for the Commercial Center (CC) zoning district and applicable setback and fall‑distance requirements.

Staff presented signal maps showing a larger area of stronger coverage with the facility in place. Cooley said all public participation requirements were met, that the applicant held a neighborhood meeting, and that staff and the applicant received no public opposition; one inquiry asked about leasing the site. Cooley said the CUP was found consistent with the Buckeye General Plan’s Neighborhood land‑use designation and with the Buckeye Development Code’s standards for a telecom facility in the Commercial Center when approved through a conditional use permit.

A commissioner asked whether any development is planned between the existing Buckeye Marketplace and the leased site; staff said they were not aware of any pending applications for that gap. Commissioners asked about visual fit and were shown conceptual imagery and surrounding tree lines; staff noted the camouflage approach and a CMU screen wall intended to match the market.

A motion to approve AT&T’s singular wireless PCS conditional use permit (PLZU‑24‑0006), subject to conditions A through E, was moved and seconded and carried on a voice vote. The transcript records a voice vote and the chair declared the motion passed. The site plan for the tower will be processed administratively only after the CUP is in place and the permit is subject to the conditions identified in staff’s recommendation.

The commission’s approval does not itself construct the facility; it authorizes the conditional use permit subject to the listed conditions and the subsequent administrative site‑plan review.","The Buckeye Planning and Zoning Commission voted to approve AT&T’s conditional use permit to install an 81-foot telecommunications pole disguised as a broadleaf tree at Miller Marketplace, with staff conditions and no public opposition recorded.","actionData","errors"]
