The Planning and Zoning Commission voted to forward a recommendation of approval with conditions to the Town Council for a major Planned Unit Development amendment to Skyview Farms (case PZ25‑26). The amendment consolidates existing Skyview and adjacent Aspen Farms acreage plus a 200‑acre county parcel to form an amended 2,465‑acre PUD.

Applicant representatives from Colliers and property owner Le Sueur (Square Investments) presented the plan. Nathan Anderson of Le Sueur said the consolidated ownership has farmed the land for decades and is now proposing a comprehensive amendment to align the PUD with regional transportation and anticipated growth. Colliers’ Joseph Vance described the proposal as 9,975 residential units (gross density of four dwelling units per acre), 100 acres of mixed‑use and commercial along Arizona Farms Road, and about 80 acres of community parks and trail amenities.

Staff and the applicant said the amendment retains the PUD’s existing development standards while adding a mixed‑use district that combines high‑density residential and community commercial; the mixed‑use area carries a stipulation that at least 25% of that acreage be developed as commercial rather than entirely residential. The circulation plan realigns Cooper Road to match the town general plan, introduces a looped collector system, and preserves key rights‑of‑way requested by Arizona State Land to avoid landlocking adjacent parcels.

Commission discussion covered drainage and the Magma flood control features on and adjacent to the site. Commissioners asked whether FEMA or the Magma Flood Control District imposed restrictions; the applicant said the property owner has been in contact with the flood control district and that no restrictions have been presented to the project team so far. Staff noted the technical advisory committee reviewed circulation and emergency services needs and that land for a future emergency services facility has been reserved in the PUD.

Public outreach included a neighborhood meeting with four attendees and notice letters to 42 surrounding property owners; no formal opposition was reported in the staff memo. The commission’s recommendation sends the amendment and stipulations to the Town Council for final action; the applicant confirmed concurrence with staff’s recommended conditions.

Key figures presented: total acreage 2,465; proposed residential units 9,975; proposed gross density ~4 du/acre; approximately 100 acres mixed use/commercial; 80 acres of community parks. The southernmost 200 acres currently in Pinal County is undergoing annexation and will be before Town Council on the ordinance reading prior to the PUD amendment consideration.
