Council approves Coyote Crest PAD rezoning for 64-acre mixed housing plan
Summary
Council approved a planned area development (PAD) for Coyote Crest — a roughly 64-acre project proposing a mix of cottage-style built-to-rent, duplex/triplex and garden-style multifamily units with a combined density of about 14.5 dwelling units per acre; staff said infrastructure and school coordination are pending.
The Buckeye City Council on Dec. 16 approved a rezoning to a planned area development (PAD) for the Coyote Crest project, a roughly 64.45-acre site at the southwest corner of the Roosevelt (future McDowell Parkway) and Rainbow Road alignments.
Staff presenter Sean Banda described a PAD intended to unify three underlying base zonings and create a single development vision. The applicant, represented by Alan Bodwin of Norris Design on behalf of Skyline 62 LLC, described plans for three development units: a cottage-style built-to-rent area (about 275 units on ~25 acres), a single-family baseline area (~170 units on ~18 acres) and a higher-density garden-style multifamily area (~456 units on ~20 acres), totaling an illustrative 901 units and averaging about 14.5 dwelling units per acre.
Banda said the PAD includes infrastructure expectations (water mains, sewer outfall) and noted that applicants have discussed school-district impacts and utility extensions. Staff also said the PAD is in some respects more restrictive than baseline zoning — for example, height limits were lowered in certain units to reduce impacts on adjacent lower-density properties.
No public speakers registered for the item. Council voted to approve the PAD by motion and unanimous voice vote (six yes, one absent). Staff said final infrastructure and plat approvals will follow in subsequent reviews.
