| PUBLIC HEARINGS |
Mayor Pizzillo stated the applicant requested the matter be continued to the May 22, 2023 Regular Meeting. Two speakers from the community agreed to return and speak at that time.
Planner Guadalupe Ortiz Cortez presented a request to amend a Special Use Permit for Bishop Air Training Field to allow free-fall parachute training in addition to operating the Property as an air training facility, subject to stipulations, and provided a brief history of the uses at the airfield since its annexation in 2008.
She stated the request is for a special use permit amendment to allow the continued use of Complete Parachute Solutions as a free-fall parachute training facility. The use is currently outside the scope of use, and approval will bring the facility into compliance with City regulations.
Ms. Ortiz Cortez provided Council with the evaluation criteria and the public participation process and stated no opposition had been received. Staff recommends Council approval of the Special Use Permit Amendment.
Mayor Pizzillo closed the public hearing at 5:22 p.m.
Council stated the use is an excellent use for the location and questioned the accessibility to the site for emergency response teams, should there be an accident, the comparison to previous flights in the area, and conflicts with other flight locations.
John Rogers, Vice President of Complete Parachute Solutions, stated the fire department has all codes for access, and the company has emergency medical staff on-site during every training; the facility significantly decreased the number of flights at the location and has met with the FAA to confirm no issues with other airports or flight patterns.
MOTION BY Vice Mayor Laura Kaino, SECONDED BY Councilmember Sheri Lauritano to APPROVE a request to amend the Special Use Permit granted in 2008, to allow, as a permitted operation within the property annexed by Ordinance 2008-1138 and rezoned by Ordinance 2008-1139 (the “Property”), free-fall parachute training in addition to operating the Property as an air training facility subject to stipulations.

Mayor Pizzillo closed the public hearing at 5:34 p.m.

Deputy Director of Planning Katie Wilken presented a rezoning request of approximately 67 acres of land near the southwest corner of Litchfield Road and I-10, known as the Goodyear Celebration Plaza Planned Area Development (PAD) adjacent to the City of Hope facility. The proposed rezone allows for a mixed-use development under the MF-12 (Multifamily), MF-24 (Multifamily), C-O (Commercial Office), and C-2 (General Commercial) zoning districts, as modified in the Goodyear Celebration Plaza Planned Area Development (PAD) by Ordinance 2023-1562.
She continued with an update regarding the hybrid 10-acre parcel Council reviewed during a public hearing in January, where concerns with the number of multifamily homes, the hybrid term, and the potential effect on the City of Hope led the Council to table the item for further revisions from the developer. In response, the developer submitted modifications addressing each concern and a letter of support from City of Hope.
Ms. Wilken ended her presentation by informing the Council of the Planning and Zoning Commission and staff recommendation for approval of the Rezone with stipulations as presented.
Applicant representatives Jeff Blilie, Beus Gilbert McGroder PLLC, and Mark Reddie, RVI Planning, provided additional information regarding the modified designs being presented and what the addition of the proposed uses will bring to the area of Goodyear.
Mayor Pizzillo closed the public hearing at 6:05 p.m.
