SUMMARY
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Wendy Riddell of Berry Riddell LLC, on behalf of property owner, VWP Buckeye Owner, LLC, is
requesting approval of  Ordinance No. 13-26 regarding a rezone, Case No. PLZZ-25-0002, of
approximately 85 acres located at the southeast corner of Interstate 10 and State Route 85. The
applicant is requesting to rezone the property from Single-Family Residential 43 (R1-43) to Business
Park (BP) with the intention of developing a multi-building business park on the site.  Consistent with the
BP zoning district, the property could accommodate a range of permitted uses, including warehouse and
distribution (excluding cross-dock warehouses), office, limited light manufacturing, and retail or
wholesale showroom uses. The Planning & Zoning Commission held a public hearing on April 14, 2026
and voted to recommend approval of the rezone to the City Council. Please see the attached staff report
and exhibits for additional information and analysis. 
BENEFITS:
Rezoning the property to Business Park will facilitate development of the site with a high quality, master
planned, multi-building business park. 
FINANCIAL IMPACT STATEMENT:
See Planning Items Financial Impact Statement
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.
