RECOMMENDATION
ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. 2026-1649, CONDITIONALLY REZONING APPROXIMATELY 35.053 GROSS ACRES OF PROPERTY, LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF MCDOWELL ROAD AND BULLARD AVENUE, FROM PALM VALLEY PROMENADE 1ST AMENDED PLANNED AREA DEVELOPMENT (PAD) TO PALM VALLEY PROMENADE 2ND AMENDED PAD AND AMENDING THE ZONING MAP OF THE CITY OF GOODYEAR.

STIPULATIONS
The complete list of stipulations is contained within Ordinance No. 2026-1649, included as Attachment A.
FISCAL IMPACT
Although fiscal impact analysis has not been conducted on a specific development project, all new development will have an ongoing fiscal impact on the city. The development is responsible for construction of all infrastructure necessary to serve the site and will generate one-time revenue for the city through payment of permits, construction sales tax, and development impact fees. Longer term fiscal impacts include increased demands for municipal services, the costs of which may or may not be offset by increased property values/tax levies, city sales tax, state shared revenues, and the increased demand for commercial and retail development. Any areas that will be maintained by the city are constructed by the developer and then conveyed to the city two years after construction. There is no anticipated cost to the city for the rezone to modify the maximum building height on the Property.
