Staff described the project as a three‑story, urban‑oriented apartment community with a range of building types and strong pedestrian connections to adjacent commercial uses.

Ken Galica, planning manager, described the project as a mix of 16 three‑story, 24‑unit buildings plus two‑story carriage buildings with ground‑floor garages and single‑story garage buildings distributed across about 17 acres within the Mix at Roosevelt PAD. \"This will add 394 more rooftops to the area, which is so vital in attracting the developers, as well as the businesses themselves that rely on those numbers,\" Galica said, explaining the project supports the Landing’s goal of concentrating residential density to enable nearby retail and restaurants.

The developer, Alliance Residential, presented a site plan that places buildings forward toward the street to activate the public edge and meets or exceeds the city’s open‑space and amenity requirements. Staff noted the project exceeds required parking by about 23% and includes a centralized pool amenity, dog park and children’s playground; pedestrian paths link residential buildings to Fillmore and Verrado Way and provide three direct connections to the adjacent Mix at Roosevelt shopping center.

Commissioners asked about traffic and the I‑10 interchange. Staff acknowledged existing bottlenecks at the Verrado interchange and said ADOT projects and striping changes are planned but that precise timing is outside city control. The commission discussed corridor capacity and access improvements generally but took no separate traffic mitigation action beyond standard site‑plan infrastructure requirements.

A motion to approve PLZSP‑240023 was made, seconded and approved by voice vote; the roll‑call tally was not recorded in the transcript. Staff closed with implementation reminders that the developer must complete adjacent street, utility and any required median or CIP‑related improvements as applicable prior to construction.

Next steps: The developer will proceed to engineering, drainage and building‑permit submittals and must meet the city’s conditions (A–EE) before permits are issued.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning And Zoning Meeting LIVE 4/22/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Planning and Zoning Commission approved a 394‑unit market‑rate apartment site plan (Pros Verado) within the Landing/Gateway Activity Center.

The amendment, proposed by applicant Carolyn Oberholtzer for Americold Real Estate Company, removes multifamily residential as an allowed use in the PAD and replaces it with a tailored suite of commercial and business‑park uses intended to create a higher‑quality commercial gateway at the southeast corner of Miller Road and I‑10.

Mandy Woods, principal planner, explained the amendment modifies the PAD’s use table and development standards across two defined development units: the Miller Road Development Unit (roughly 17–21 acres) for customer‑facing commercial uses and the Yuma Road Development Unit (about 8–12 acres) oriented to mini‑storage, vehicle sales/rental and supporting retail. \"The proposed major amendment...furthers goals of the Buckeye General Plan,\" Woods said, and recommended the commission conduct a public hearing and forward approval subject to conditions A–T.

Key changes described in the draft PAD: exclusion of multifamily uses that were allowed under the earlier overlay, higher landscaping/open‑space requirements (the Miller Road unit increases open‑space from 10% to 20%), and a limited hospital height allowance (up to 120 feet) strictly reserved for a regional hospital use. The amendment carries forward explicit prohibitions from the prior PAD, including adult entertainment, heavy manufacturing, landfills and outdoor salvage/waste operations.

Signage that had been framed in the original PAD as two large freeway pylon signs (one previously conceived as an 80‑foot digital billboard) was scaled back in the amendment to conform to current development‑code standards: two freeway pylon signs are still anticipated (one per development unit) but with reduced height and copy area, no off‑site advertising, and other signage deferred to a comprehensive sign plan.

Woods said the applicant held a neighborhood meeting on March 19, 2025 at the Buckeye Elementary School District administrative office; attendance included the project team, city staff and three council members. Staff reported no other public comments had been received at the time of the hearing.

Commissioners asked about traffic and access. City staff described expected future site‑level reviews and said required transportation, water, sewer and drainage improvements will be finalized during subsequent site‑plan and subdivision approvals.

A motion to approve PLZZ‑240012 with conditions A–T was moved and seconded and passed by voice vote; the commission’s approval will be forwarded to mayor and council for final action. No roll‑call vote tally was recorded in the meeting transcript.

Next steps: the amendment, as recommended by the commission, will be considered by the mayor and city council; future site‑plan reviews must demonstrate conformance to the amended PAD and applicable development‑code standards.","Commission recommended approval of a major amendment to the Miller/I‑10 Planned Area Development overlay to remove multifamily uses and allow commercial, mini‑storage, vehicle sales and other uses; the amendment tightens signage and raises open‑space requirements for the Miller Road development unit.",{"_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},6583803,"Planning commission approves 200-unit build-to-rent community at Yuma and Apache",1131,423000,1554000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3088375-abbd6ebc2b45cc995fd98d8cc53feaba&start=423&end=1554","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3088375-abbd6ebc2b45cc995fd98d8cc53feaba/thumbnail_423000.jpg","/articles/6583803/Buckeye/Maricopa-County/Arizona/Planning-commission-approves-200-unit-build-to-rent-community-at-Yuma-and-Apache","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6583803-50091e4fbb8ea92896de5f4a62e1250a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771051788&Signature=m6HEUekbIhq1BEQHlv0VHhDqclUqpv0RWRbz7-BfzpGXULTsnzzI-VjQQ9ouMtQTP3Y331P52Aovo4qVhcBZUAn6isW8ZxgfC1TW04K82MS~UnBMoutHGywNMLv5m0PJab9R94ZW-cWCNfVQ8zv6wl8D6Nc~MNqUgyGMTWwQKUV~U6DXw4ntbU7gWQufX5FO~XpzRsmAsqeyq9digvu9KaADjIK1vZy8mkQYnzRkVBNPT3W~skvatI-tDPQcYhM~ZOpwl4ce3VoFvr2~LawXlHxhbBSYu36bs666L6TcivDJlF4MsZ8EepiC0tWPh-BJc--oT6yJrgkRlfnwvlVq-A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Buckeye Planning and Zoning Commission on an unstated date approved a site plan for a 200-unit build-to-rent multifamily community at the southeast corner of Yuma and Apache roads (case PLZSP-240031). The developer presented the project as a family-oriented rental community on about 17 acres with a central clubhouse, pool, playgrounds and private backyard space for each unit.

Mandy Woods, principal planner with Development Services, said the proposal is consistent with the property’s General Plan land-use designation of “Neighborhood” and complies with applicable development-code requirements. \"The density proposed is just over 10 dwelling units per acre which is compliant,\" Woods said, and she noted the applicant is requesting site-plan approval subject to conditions A–Q.

The applicant’s team described the product as a newer configuration for the developer. Mark Reddy of RVI Planning and Landscape Architecture, representing the applicant, said, \"We found that we can make this type of product work and it's something that's very livable,\" emphasizing the single-story accessible units and two‑story duplexes that provide private yards the team said are attractive to families.

Commissioners asked about traffic and on-site management. Commissioner Ed Bassler raised concerns about the nearby intersection of Yuma and Watson, saying the project \"is going to add more and more of an issue with the traffic on Yuma\" and warning, \"Somebody's gonna get killed there trying to get from fries over to Walmart across the traffic.\" City traffic staff acknowledged capacity constraints at Yuma and Watson and said the city has the intersection in its capital improvement program for further evaluation and potential mitigation but could not guarantee a timeline.

Woods said access to the site would be from Apache Road with an emergency-only shared easement along the southern edge of the property. She also told the commission the developer will be responsible for required water, sewer, drainage and half‑street improvements and that the property will be served by city fire and police services.

A motion to approve PLZSP-240031 was made and seconded; the commission approved the motion by voice vote with no recorded roll-call tallies. The motion carried with no recorded dissents.

The project’s principal characteristics reflected in the file: 200 build-to-rent units on roughly 17 acres; a unit mix of three‑ and four‑bedroom units intended to be family oriented; 95 two‑story duplex buildings and 10 one‑story accessible buildings; 31% open space and 15% amenitized open space; private rear yards averaging about 350 square feet per unit; a centrally located clubhouse, pool and playgrounds; and code‑compliant parking and landscaping.

Next steps: Conditions attached to the site plan approval must be satisfied in follow-up engineering, drainage and building permit reviews before issuance of permits or commencement of construction.","The Buckeye Planning and Zoning Commission approved a 200-unit, build-to-rent multifamily site plan at the southeast corner of Yuma and Apache Roads.
