SUMMARY
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Rob Gubser, Colliers Engineering & Design, on behalf of GDC OZ LLC and KEMF Westwind SH LLC, is
requesting approval of a Minor General Plan Amendment changing the land use designation of
approximately 125.4 acres from Business Commerce to Master Planned Community (MPC). A General
Plan Amendment (GPA) changes a portion of the City’s approved General Plan, often either a change to
the land use designation of an area within the City or a change to the text within the document. This
request consists of two non-adjacent parcels totaling approximately 125.4 acres, including a 76.0-acre
parcel located north of the northeast corner of Lower Buckeye Road and Wilson Avenue and a 49.4-acre
parcel located south of the southwest corner of Lower Buckeye Road and 269th Avenue. 
The Planning and Zoning Commission was scheduled to conduct a public hearing and issue a
recommendation on this item on June 23, 2026; due to agenda deadlines precluding the results of that
meeting from being captured in the attached staff report, a summary will be provided during staff's
presentation on July 7th. Please review the attached staff report and exhibits for additional information
and analysis.
BENEFITS:
The proposed General Plan Amendment and corresponding Westpark CMP Amendment represent the
next steps in implementing the City's long-term vision for the SR-85 corridor by expanding and
consolidating employment-oriented planning areas west of SR-85 under a single CMP framework.
FUTURE ACTION:
Council is scheduled to consider annexation of the 49.4-acre parcel subject to this General Plan
Amendment request and related CMP Amendments to Westpark and Silver Rock on this same agenda.

FINANCIAL IMPACT STATEMENT:
See Planning Item Financial Impact Statement below. 
FINANCIAL IMPACT STATEMENT:
Although a fiscal impact analysis has not been conducted on this specific 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 such as permit
fees, 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.
Items related to a project or facility location must include an attached vicinity map for Council
Review.
