Buckeye's Planning and Zoning Commission takes up the Teravalis plan, a 33,939-acre rezone — about 53 square miles — that would allow up to 130,000 homes north and west of Sun Valley Parkway along with about 3,542 acres of non-residential development; staff recommend approval. The framework caps density at about 3.83 homes per acre and requires at least 150 lots of 12,000 square feet or more. The same agenda carries a rezone that would put a 1-gigawatt battery plant on 57.4 acres south of the Sun Valley Substation, with no homes proposed on that land. Buckeye also approved $1.98 million in impact fee credits on 882 Farallon lots and accepted a petition to enlarge an improvement district to take in Festival Ranch Parcel 84.
Mesa's quarterly housing scorecard counted 78 newly entitled homes since July — all single-family, none multifamily — on the same night the planning board takes up a General Plan change and a rezone that would trade 21.6 acres of multifamily land at South Ellsworth Road and East Starfire Avenue for industrial and commercial uses. Phoenix went the other way, taking up adoption of the Rio Salado District Policy Plan and a new land-use map for 4,364 acres, with extra height allowed for affordable homes and about 127 acres of new residential zoning on a former mining pit. The city also recommended buyers for 38 city-owned lots in the Isaac area and 17 more near 16th Street and Broadway Road, and reported 71,128 homes created or preserved toward its 50,000-home goal.
Phoenix also held a hearing on annexing 28 acres in Laveen for up to 489 apartments or townhomes, took up a land-use change on 77.49 acres and a rezone of 65.59 acres at 63rd Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road for commercial and commerce park uses, and returned to a continued supplementary zoning map in District 5. Riverside Elementary School District opposed the Estrella project, saying it was pitched to families as housing and now contains none. Council also took up revised QuikTrip stipulations and stipulations capping density at Deer Valley Road and 27th Avenue, while a subcommittee opened the federal housing spending plan and took up updated code enforcement timelines. Tolleson weighed about $500,000 in federal money to repair roughly 10 owner-occupied homes and a 400-square-foot guest house on a single lot. Maricopa County took up $74.8 million in bonds for the District at Laveen Apartments, termination of a 2008 residential agreement so that land can go industrial, and continued the Speros case to Nov. 5.
Flagstaff's Planning Commission takes up a 290-acre State Trust land plan with a regional plan amendment and rezones covering 139 acres of single-family and 27.9 acres of medium density, while the council's Nov. 3 draft agenda would let the city manager approve fee breaks and rewrite how zoning map changes are adopted, and a 13.01-acre rural-to-single-family rezone sat on the Oct. 20 final agenda. The Housing Commission gets a briefing on the RAD program and a liaison update. Tempe takes up an affordable housing bonus update, parking permit and downtown historic core briefings at the Development Review Commission and rental housing subcommittee status. Avondale looks at cutting fees in its oldest neighborhoods, reworked rules for The BLVD and its HUD spending hearing, while Chandler heard a gas station, car wash and RV storage plan with no homes, Scottsdale weighed a school on land zoned for houses, Litchfield Park took up an indefinite hold on a shopping center rezone, Fountain Hills took up a tower-planning requirement for large plats and Yuma got a community development update. The through-line: the region keeps adding home capacity at the edges while closer-in sites keep losing it.

- Teravalis Planned Area Development (PAD) - PLZZ-25-0013: Buckeye's Planning and Zoning Commission takes up the Teravalis planned area development, which staff recommend for approval: a rezone of about 33,939 acres (roughly 53 square miles) from Planned Community with the Douglas Ranch Community Master Plan overlay to a new PAD framework allowing up to 130,000 homes at a maximum of about 3.83 homes per acre, plus about 3,542 acres of non-residential development. The plan must keep at least 150 single-family lots of 12,000 square feet or more. View item
- Cloud Cap Energy Storage - Rezone - PLZZ-26-0012: Staff recommend rezoning 57.4 acres from Planned Community to single-family residential (R1-43) so Invenergy can build the Cloud Cap battery storage project — up to 1 gigawatt — about a half mile west of Sun Valley Parkway and 291st Avenue, south of the Sun Valley Substation. No homes are proposed on the land; a separate conditional use permit for the battery use cannot be approved unless this rezone passes. View item

- GPA26-00248. "View 202 - Minor GPA," 21.6± acres. Minor General Plan Amendment to change the Placetype from Urban Residential to Local Employment Center.: The General Plan amendment changes the land-use placetype on 21.6 acres at the southwest corner of South Ellsworth Road and East Starfire Avenue in District 6 from Urban Residential to Local Employment Center.

Applicant Sean Lake of Pew & Lake represents owner Todd Holzer of Sunbelt Land Holdings; staff recommend approval with conditions. View item
