Re: 
Notice of CUP Application and Neighborhood Meeting; APNS 400-37-
003L and 400-37-003K; Case Number: PLZU-25-0006 
Dear Neighbor, 
This notice is being sent to inform you that our firm, on behalf of the property 
owner, has filed a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application with the City of Buckeye 
Development Services Department for a property located south of Hazen Road, 
between Rooks Road and Miller Road. Please be advised that a neighborhood 
meeting has been scheduled for this application. 
The CUP request, PLZU-25-0006, is for the 77 acres that make up the site, 
which include APNS 400-37-003L and 400-37-003K. The purpose of the CUP is to 
allow sand and gravel mining and ancillary batch plant operations on the property, 
with the southern part of the site (approximately 14 acres) remaining as open 
space/natural vegetation. Excavation will occur throughout the mine’s operational 
life in response to demand for aggregate materials. The plan of operations for 
extraction is included herein. The site will be operated by GFT Ready Mix. 
The site is zoned Rural Residential. Rural Residential is an obsolete zoning 
district in Buckeye, and therefore may be converted to the Agriculture zoning district. 
Resource extraction is a Conditional Use within the Agricultural zoning district. 
The neighborhood meeting information is as follows: 
Date: Thursday, December 18, 2025 
Time: 6 p.m. 
Location: Buckeye Chamber of Commerce 
508 E. Monroe Ave, Buckeye, AZ 85326

Please note that this is not a notice of a public hearing with the Planning and Zoning 
Commission or City Council as these hearings have not yet been set for this

been scheduled. 
If you cannot attend the neighborhood meeting and would like to discuss the 
application or have any questions, you can contact me at 480-429-3044 or by email
