SUMMARY PROJECT DESCRIPTION: William E. Lally, Tiffany & Bosco, P.A., on behalf of property owner Douglas Ranch Land Company, LLC, is requesting approval of the Teravalis Planned Area Development (“PAD”) for approximately 33,939 acres generally located north and west of the Sun Valley Parkway and encompasses the northwestern portion of Buckeye. (Exhibits A, B, and C). The request is being processed concurrently with a Major Amendment to the Douglas Ranch Community Master Plan (“CMP”) removing the subject property from that master plan. Upon approval, the Teravalis (Exhibit D) would establish a separate entitlement framework for the property and replace the prior zoning entitlements applicable to the site. The proposed PAD establishes a comprehensive planning and regulatory framework for the long-term development of a master-planned community with a variety of residential housing types, from large-lot single-family neighborhoods to higher-intensity multifamily development near mixed-use centers. The residential framework is intended to support housing choice, neighborhood connectivity, and access to parks, trails, schools, and employment areas. BENEFITS: The proposed PAD will help accommodate Buckeye’s continued growth by expanding the range of available housing choices, providing new parks, trails, and open space, and creating opportunities for regional and neighborhood-serving commercial uses within the community. Development of the property will also deliver substantial roadway, water, wastewater, drainage, and other infrastructure improvements needed to serve this portion of the City, while coordinating future school and public safety needs as growth occurs. Items related to a project or facility location must include an attached vicinity map for Council Review.
