property owner, VWP Buckeye Owner LLC
• Location: SEC of I-10 and SR 85
• Request: Rezone from SF-43 to BP
• Size: +/- 85 acres

Site Context
• North: vacant
• South: future Westpark CMP 
(undeveloped)
• East: Westpark CMP (single-family 
residential)
• West: vacant

General Plan Land Use
• Land Use: Business Commerce

Zoning
• Recent Zoning: Maricopa County 
Rural-43 (RU-43) (processed 
concurrently)
• Initial Zoning: City of Buckeye 
Single-Family Residential 43 (R1-43)
• Zoning Proposal: Business Park (BP)

Analysis
• All notices completed; 
only letters of support 
have been received to date
• No outstanding issues 
from reviewing 
departments and divisions

Analysis Continued
• Designated Business Commerce in General Plan
• Business Park (BP) zoning is consistent with designation
• Supports employment uses (office, logistics, light industrial)
• Rezoning to BP enables master-planned employment center
• BP allows office, commercial, and limited light industrial uses
• Lower intensity than I-1; no cross-dock warehouses

Analysis Continued
• Concept plan (will require site 
plan)includes:
• Building orientation to reduce impacts
• No access through Westpark CMP
• Buffering adjacent to residential
• Enhanced buffers (150–400 ft) 
proposed along residential edges
• Additional separation via drive aisles 
& landscaping
• Full review of traffic, drainage, noise, 
lighting at Site Plan

Recommendation
• Conduct a public hearing
• Approve Ordinance No. 13-26 Buckeye 83 Rezone (PLZZ-25-0002)
