Buckeye Planning and Zoning recommends plat approval for 1,156 homes

Posted

BUCKEYE — With a pair of votes Tuesday, the Buckeye Planning and Zoning Commission approved plats for a total of more than 1,150 homes.

The commission unanimously recommended approval of two preliminary plats that include a total of 1,156 lots for homes. The Buckeye City Council has final approval on both projects.

The commission recommended approval of a preliminary plat for Trillium Village 3, Unit 2. The plan includes 546 lots within the Trillium community — part of a master plan zoning district overlay and a planned community zoning district.

There are parcels in the plan for public safety and for local commercial use.
Located on the northwest corner of Sun Valley and Wintersburg parkways, the Unit 2 property covers 149.56 acres. There will be about 3.5 housing units per acre.

Another preliminary plat approval recommended is for Goodwin and Marshall, Inc. That’s the developer hoping to build on 610 lots of the Legacy Trails project.

The plat would be built out in two phases within about 200 planned residential zoning district acres off of the northeast corner of Rainbow Road and Elwood Street.

The Legacy Trails project is, like Trillium, another longstanding previously approved plat on land annexed when Buckeye was still a town, rather than a city. Known as Cipolla, the land was annexed by the town in 2002.

The commission also approved a site plan for two industrial buildings to be built on property at Verrado and Roosevelt. Located on 20 acres at the southeast corner of 215th Avenue and Roosevelt Street, just south of Interstate 10, the project will include two tilt-up industrial flex buildings,of 115,000 and 134,400 square-foot size, respectively, and associated site improvements.

The loading zone docks will be contained between the two buildings for box trucks; the site is not intended for 18-wheel semi trucks.

The commission also unanimously recommended the Council approve new language for signage requirements based on a the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2015 ruling in Reed vs. Town of Gilbert.
