Buckeye planning commission cancels second monthly meetings for June, July and August 2025

The Buckeye Planning and Zoning Commission voted to cancel the second regularly scheduled meetings for June, July and August 2025 — June 24, July 22 and Aug. 26 — approving the change by voice vote during its April 22 meeting.

Planning staff member Ken Galica told the commission the panel has used a reduced summer schedule in recent years and recommended cancelling the second meeting in each of those months because “the dog days of summer, with regard to development. The activity does go down a little bit over the summer months, so it's kind of a good time to to do something like this.”

Commission action followed a motion to cancel the three dates; the motion was seconded and carried on a voice vote with no opposing votes recorded. The commission did not record a roll-call tally in the meeting minutes for this item.

The commission chair and staff said the change mirrors past practice intended to accommodate members’ travel and the seasonal slowdown in development activity. The commission did not specify changes to the remaining monthly meeting schedule or any special meeting contingency plans.

The cancellations take effect for the listed 2025 dates; staff did not announce any changes to agendas for other meeting dates. Members and applicants with scheduled items were not identified in the discussion and no further direction to staff was given on rescheduling or notice procedures.
