SUMMARY
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Jeffrey Blilie of Gilbert Blilie, PLLC, on behalf of owner Yuma Dean 10 LLC, is requesting to amend the
Sundance Community Master Plan to include 8.3 acres located west of the southwest corner of Yuma
Road and Dean Road (APNs 504-22-861 and 504-21-870A) in the Community Master Plan as a
Commercial land use designation for the purpose of multi-family residential development. A request for a
Community Master Plan changes the zoning district of a property to Community Master Plan, a zoning
district intended for master planned projects 640 acres in size or greater which may modify provisions of
the Development Code to achieve a specific vision. Existing approved Community Master Plans may be
changed, which are reviewed as Community Master Plan Amendments. Upon approval of this
Community Master Plan Amendment, the intent is to develop the subject property, new Parcel 34C in the
Sundance Community Master Plan, and the parcel to the west, Parcel 34B, with a total of 188 multi-
family residential units.
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing and voted to recommend approval of case
number PLZZ-25-0012 on March 24, 2026. Please review the attached staff report and exhibits for
additional information and analysis.
BENEFITS:
Approval of this Major Amendment to the Sundance Community Master Plan will allow for the
development of the subject property and the parcel to the west under cohesive zoning and provide
additional housing opportunities and options for the residents of Buckeye.
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.
