SUMMARY
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Alan Beaudoin of Norris Design on behalf of Scott Ward of Skyline 62 LLC. is requesting approval of
Ordinance No. 32-25 (Case No. PLZZ-25-0001) rezoning approximately 64.45 acres of vacant land
located at the southwest corner of the Roosevelt Street (future McDowell Parkway) and Rainbow Road
alignments from PC to PAD for a future three (3) development unit multi-family development with 901
residential units. The proposed PAD zoning will facilitate development of a mix of different housing
product types and densities with an emphasis on quality and uniqueness, with development and design
standards intended to create a cohesive sense of place throughout. 
More specifically, the Coyote Crest PAD includes 3 land use units, as follows:
Development Unit 1: Approximately 24.48 acres (net) with 275 detached cottages at the northwest
corner of the site.
Development Unit 2: Approximately 18.26 acres (net) with 170 units of single-family attached
(duplexes) homes at the northeast corner of the site.
Development Unit 3: Approximately 19.92 acres (net) with 456 garden-style apartments at the
southwest corner of the site. 
The Planning & Zoning Commission held a public hearing on November 25, 2025, and recommended
that Council approve the zoning change, subject to the conditions listed in the Ordinance.  Additional
information and analysis can be found in the attached staff report and project exhibits. 
BENEFITS:
The subject rezone will lead to additional diverse housing opportunities within the City 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.
