REZONE APPROXIMATELY 25 ACRES, KNOWN AS PEBBLECREEK MARKETPLACE, FROM PLANNED AREA DEVELOPMENT (PAD) TO PEBBLECREEK MARKETPLACE 2ND AMENDED PLANNED AREA DEVELOPMENT
Mayor Pizzillo opened the public hearing at 5:31 p.m.
Christian Williams, Planning Manager, gave a presentation regarding the rezoning and comprehensive sign package for PebbleCreek Marketplace. Mr. Williams explained that the property is currently zoned Planned Area Development (PAD) as established in the PebbleCreek Marketplace Final PAD, approved by the City in 2014. He noted that the request is to remove the PebbleCreek Marketplace Comprehensive Sign Package (CSP) from the PAD document, allowing the CSP to be considered independently in accordance with Article 7 Sign Regulations of the Goodyear Zoning Ordinance. This change would eliminate the need for a PAD Amendment for any future modifications to the CSP, as it would become a standalone document. Mr. Williams clarified that the existing signage is not being altered, but an additional monument sign will be installed along McDowell Road.
There being no public comments, Mayor Pizzillo closed the public hearing at 5:39 p.m.
Jasmine Pernicano, City Clerk, read Ordinance No. 2025-1635 by title only.
Council discussed the item and, in response to an inquiry, Mr. Williams confirmed that the design presented is the final version, noting that the City does not regulate tenant listings. Council expressed support for the overall design.
