Title The ordinance embraced in the following chapters and sections shall constitute and be designated “The Zoning Ordinance of the City of Goodyear, Arizona,” and may be so cited. Such ordinance may also be cited as the “Zoning Ordinance.” 1.2. Authority This Article establishes duties and responsibilities necessary to exercise zoning and planning authority for the City of Goodyear pursuant to State of Arizona municipal planning and zoning enabling legislation. 1.3. Purpose This Ordinance of the Mayor and City Council (hereafter collectively the "City Council") of the City of Goodyear, Maricopa County, Arizona (hereafter "City") is hereby adopted for the following purposes: 1. To promote and protect the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the City of Goodyear and to establish land use classifications; dividing the City into districts; imposing regulations, prohibitions and restrictions for the promotion of health, safety, convenience, aesthetics, and welfare; governing the use of land for residential and non-residential purposes; regulating and limiting the height and bulk of buildings and other structures; limiting lot occupancy and the size of yards and other open spaces; establishing standards of performance and design; adopting a map of said districts; prescribing penalties for violations of said Ordinance; and repealing all Ordinances in conflict therewith. Further, such regulations are deemed necessary to lessen congestion in the streets; to provide adequate open space for light and air; to conserve property values; to assure orderly growth; to facilitate the adequate provision of transportation, water, sewer, schools, parks and other improvements; and to promote public health, safety, and welfare. 2. This Ordinance shall be considered the minimum requirements necessary for the promotion of the General Plan, as amended from time to time, and for the protection of the citizens of Goodyear and the general public. Compliance with all other ordinances, codes, rules, regulations, policies and guidelines adopted by the Goodyear City Council, such as, but not limited to, International Fire Codes, International Building Codes, hazardous materials regulations, City of Goodyear Engineering Design Standards and Policy Manual, or PAD standards approved by the City of Goodyear shall be adhered to, and where differences occur, the more restrictive shall prevail. 1.4. Consistency with the General Plan It is the intent of the City Council that this Zoning Ordinance be consistent with and implement the planning policies adopted by the City Council as expressed in the General Plan. The City Council affirms that this Zoning Ordinance, including any amendments, shall remain in conformance with the adopted General Plan, applicable specific area plans, and any amendments to those documents. City of Goodyear | Zoning Ordinance 2 1.5. Applicability 1.5.1. General Applicability All buildings, structures, uses of land, and site improvements are subject to the provisions of this Zoning Ordinance and any companion documents incorporated by reference within this ordinance. Any change to an existing building, structure, use of land, or site condition, including changes that increase parking demand, modify occupancy, alter drainage or landscaping, or involve additions or physical modifications made after the effective date of this Zoning Ordinance, shall comply with all applicable requirements of this Zoning Ordinance. The establishment of a zoning district or the approval of a development application does not constitute a guarantee of infrastructure capacity; all future development remains dependent upon the availability of infrastructure, including water, necessary to support the intended uses. 1.5.2.

Commercial & Industrial Districts 2.3.1. Commercial Districts The Commercial Districts provide activity centers with shopping and services, employment for local residents and to strengthen the City’s economic base. Their standards are intended to assure convenience, safety, positive community image, variety in retail, commerce and office development responding to the community’s quality of life. Zoning classifications include offices, neighborhood and community- wide businesses, the mixed-use and related public facilities designations. Use intensities and site development criteria are intended to mitigate impact on, as well as maintain compatibility with, adjacent residential areas. A. Purpose Statements 1. Commercial Office (CO). The Commercial Office zoned Commercial District provides for professional and administrative services that are established at a residential scale in the CO District, providing for transition between retail commercial areas and residential uses. 2. Neighborhood Commercial (C-1). The Neighborhood Commercial zoned Commercial District uses are intended to provide limited retailing, generally on small parcels, serving nearby residential neighborhoods. The District may be applied as a transition buffer between uses of varying intensity or to add separation distance between arterial streets and residential zoning districts. 3. General Commercial (C-2). The General Commercial zoned Commercial District uses provide for general retail, service and office use, as well as encouragement of major, master-planned retail shopping centers to respond to community and regional area demand for goods and services. Combined, multiple-use developments with shared access, parking, design themes and amenities are particularly intended. 4. Core Mixed-Use (CMX). The Core Mixed-Use zoned Commercial District provides for integrated residential zoning with retail, office, civic, entertainment, hospitality, and service uses within a compact, walkable development pattern. The district is intended to function as a focal activity center and may be applied in multiple locations throughout the city. 5. Public Facilities (PFD). The Public Facilities zoned Commercial District accommodates those uses which are provided by governmental entities for general public usage or convenience, and to ensure compatibility with adjacent residential areas. 6. Business Park (BPD). a. The purpose of the Business Park District (BPD) zoned Commercial District is to provide an attractive environment for modern offices, light assembly, and warehouse development and to create employment and economic development opportunities in a campus-like setting. The standards promote development intended to create an environment compatible with nearby, existing developed areas. ARTICLE 2 – ZONING DISTRICTS City of Goodyear | Zoning Ordinance 19 b. The Business Park District (BPD) allows a mix of business and employment uses in a design integrated development consisting of one (1) or more buildings having an exterior appearance and pedestrian-friendly park-like walkability of a business park, with all loading docks, outdoor storage, and other higher intensity uses and activities occurring within internalized courts visible and accessible only from the interior of the development. c. The Business Park District (BPD) may also be utilized to buffer higher intensity industrial uses from lower intensity residential and commercial uses. 2.3.2. Industrial Districts The Industrial Districts provide for the industrial businesses of the community including research and development, warehousing, wholesaling, manufacturing, assembling and limited retail and service uses. The districts promote the economic diversity and employment of the City and provide for varying levels of intensity of industrial uses. Performance and design standards assure the City of high-quality industrial development. A. Purpose Statements 1. Light Industrial Park (I-1). The light Industrial Park zoned Industrial District is intended to promote and protect light manufacturing, warehouses and research and development industries; to cluster such industries into attractive planned Industrial Parks; to minimize incompatibility of industrial uses with adjacent land uses; and provide sufficient space in appropriate locations to businesses and manufacturing firms free from offensive land uses in modern, landscaped buildings and surroundings. 2. General Industrial Park (I-2). The General Industrial Park zoned Industrial District is intended to promote and protect large and intensive manufacturing, warehouses and research and development industries; to cluster such industries into attractive planned Industrial Parks; to minimize incompatibility of industrial uses with adjacent land uses; and provide sufficient space in appropriate locations to businesses and manufacturing firms. 2.3.3. Commercial & Industrial Permitted Uses Table 2.3.2 below identifies uses that are permitted, uses that are permitted if certain conditions are met, and uses that may be permitted by a Use Permit or Special Use Permit within each Commercial & Industrial District. The various types of permitted uses are designated below: A. Principal Permitted Use – “P” within a cell indicates that use is permitted by right within that zoning district. B. Permitted with Specific Additional Conditions – “C” within a cell indicates a use that is permitted if certain specific conditions are met. C. Special Use Permit Use – “S” within a cell indicates a use that requires the approval of a Special Use Permit in accordance with 6.6. D.

Freeway Development Overlay District A. Purpose The purpose of this Overlay District is to provide the appropriate and necessary off-site and on-site improvements to protect and enhance the livability of properties near Freeways within the City of Goodyear. These Freeway corridors will have a significant impact on the surrounding land uses. Noise and traffic generated by these Freeways will impact residential land uses and other noise sensitive uses that may be constructed adjacent to the Freeway corridors. It is the intent of the City to ensure that future Freeway noise impacts are mitigated by establishing noise attenuation requirements applicable to future development of residential land uses and other noise sensitive uses as defined in this Overlay District. B. Applicability 1. All residential development and other noise sensitive land uses located within five hundred (500) feet of Freeway alignments shall comply with the provisions of this Overlay District. Noise sensitive land uses shall include schools, places of worship, childcare facilities, hospitals, nursing homes, libraries, and similar facilities, as determined by the Zoning Administrator, or his or her designee. Abatement measures are generally not required for new commercial and industrial developments. Abatement measures are generally required only with respect to structures designed for human occupancy and private outdoor open space within the specified distance from the Freeway right-of-way boundaries. ARTICLE 2 – ZONING DISTRICTS City of Goodyear | Zoning Ordinance 33 2. All residential development and other noise sensitive uses within five hundred (500) feet of Freeway right-of-way boundaries shall submit a sound attenuation plan prior to rezoning, use permit, or site plan approval. 3. Any property or lot completely or partially located within five hundred (500) feet of the exterior edge of Freeway alignments shall comply with the provisions of this Overlay District. C. Sound Attenuation Plan 1. Exterior Noise Standards. a. The sound attenuation plan shall include a noise analysis of the property that details the projected Freeway noise levels based upon the most current projected traffic volumes available from the Maricopa Association of Governments. The time period for the projected traffic volumes and traffic characteristics shall be a minimum of fifteen (15) years from the date of the submittal of the sound attenuation plan, unless otherwise approved by the City Engineer, or his or her designee. In the event that the design and development of the Freeway is not at a stage for which a noise analysis is reasonably feasible, then no such noise analysis shall be required, but the sound attenuation plan shall obligate the property owner to provide for a sound barrier wall of a minimum of eight (8) feet in height, or an acceptable equivalent, subject to the approval of the Zoning Administrator, or his or her designee. If the Freeway is existing or is under construction, a sound barrier wall of a minimum of eight (8) feet in height, or an acceptable equivalent, subject to the approval of the Zoning Administrator, or his or her designee, and landscape treatments shall be constructed and/or installed. b. The sound attenuation plan shall include the proposed attenuation measures needed to reasonably predict that the projected exterior noise levels on the property at ground level and private outdoor space above the ground level shall not exceed the (Leq) sixty- seven (67) dBA noise level. For the purposes of this Overlay District, the noise measurement method used by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) will be used. In addition to any proposed attenuation measures, a sound attenuation plan may also identify who, in place of the property owner, may be responsible for specific measures, the timing for installing the specific attenuation measures, and describe or provide for proposed alternative means of compliance as to any specific attenuation measures as may be approved by the City Engineer, or his or her designee. c. The sound attenuation plan shall include a certification by a qualified transportation noise analyst as to the projected exterior noise levels on the site and that the sound attenuation measures will meet the (Leq) sixty-seven (67) dBA noise level. ARTICLE 2 – ZONING DISTRICTS City of Goodyear | Zoning Ordinance 34 2. Interior Noise Standards. The sound attenuation plan shall also include measures needed to reasonably predict that the projected interior noise levels for each dwelling unit or building unit or building determined to have a noise sensitive use shall achieve a maximum interior noise level of (Leq) forty- five (45) dBA. In order to comply with this maximum noise level, a minimum of R18 exterior wall assembly, a minimum of R30 roof/ceiling assembly, dual-glazed windows and solid wood, and foam-filled fiberglass or metal doors to the exterior shall be required of new buildings or dwelling units. As an alternative, a certification by an architect or engineer to achieve a maximum interior noise level of (Leq) forty-five (45) dBA at the time of final construction may be submitted. The sound attenuation standards within this Overlay District shall not apply to accessory buildings used on a property with the primary building. D. Sound Attenuation Improvements Sound attenuation improvements shall include all reasonable and feasible measures necessary to meet the required standard including the construction of Freeway walls and earthen berms. If there are special characteristics within a Freeway corridor, such as the topography of the area, drainage, maintenance requirements, or safety considerations, as determined by the City Engineer, or his or her designee, then the construction of a noise barrier of greater than 20 feet in height should be avoided. Reasonable and feasible measures may include, without limitation, achieving a noise reduction of at least 5 dBA, barrier height, aesthetic issues relating to a proposed barrier, or such other measures as consistent with the ADOT (Arizona Department of Transportation) Noise Abatement Requirements (May 2017, as may be amended) and approved by the City Engineer, or his or her designee. The sound attenuation measures shall utilize designs that minimize the visual impact on the site with appropriate use of colors and materials. Any landscape plan proposed for any site subject to the Freeway development standards whereby a wall or berm is required shall include, where appropriate, visual mitigation measures, such as colors, materials, styles, designs, or additional landscape treatments to minimize the visual impacts of walls or berms. 2.5.2.

Amenity Elements. The purpose of providing amenity elements is to create diverse places within a community that are accessible to the surrounding residents. Smaller lots require additional amenities because of the smaller private yards that are provided. a. Adjacent to Community Amenity. The project is adjacent to an open space amenity (e.g., Bullard Wash, Gila River, hillside preserve) or community facility (e.g., community park, recreation center) and reasonable access has been provided to the amenity. A clubhouse, pool, or other significant community amenity within a master planned community can ARTICLE 3 – SUPPLEMENTAL USE STANDARDS City of Goodyear | Zoning Ordinance 49 count toward this requirement without being directly adjacent if the neighborhood is served by the amenity. b. Additional Park Space. The development includes privately maintained park space at least thirty (30) percent greater in area than the minimum required useable open space. c. Additional Internal Park Amenities. Meaningful and impactful additional amenities are provided within parks. For example, a horseshoe pit would not meet this threshold but pickle ball courts would; Simple outdoor grills would not meet this threshold but an outdoor fireplace with integrated grills would. Additional amenities are provided within the required park space: i. A pool, splash pad, or similar active recreational infrastructure. ii. A clubhouse, community room, or similar passive recreational gathering places. iii. Restroom facilities. iv. Active lighted recreation fields, including, but not limited to, basketball courts, soccer fields, baseball fields, or similar facilities, that are above and beyond the minimum Open Space Requirements found in Section 3.5.4. v. Additional amenities that are not minimally required by the Parks, Recreation, Open Space, and Trails Master Plan as determined by the Zoning Administrator, or his or her designee, and that provide meaningful and impactful recreational opportunities for the community that as a general rule cannot be accommodated in a traditional ten thousand (10,000) square foot lot. d. Integrated Commercial. A parcel zoned commercial is located within the development or directly adjacent that is integrated into the neighborhood and has the impact of serving as a gathering place and amenity to the community, subject to the following: i. No subdivision perimeter wall separates the neighborhood from the commercial parcel or direct pedestrian connections are provided without leaving the development and walking along an arterial road. ii. The residential neighborhood is not separated from the commercial amenity by an arterial roadway (i.e., a residential area receiving credit for this amenity must not have to cross an arterial roadway to get to the commercial amenity) iii. The residential neighborhood is entirely contained within a one thousand three hundred twenty (1,320) foot radius of a commercial property. (i.e., the residential area ARTICLE 3 – SUPPLEMENTAL USE STANDARDS City of Goodyear | Zoning Ordinance 50 receiving credit for this amenity must be within one thousand three hundred twenty (1,320) feet of the commercial area, residential lots outside of the radius would provide another amenity or not be eligible for lot reductions). e. Additional Amenities. Other amenity elements not minimally required by any other regulation, ordinance, policy, standard or master plan adopted by the City that meet the stated purpose and provide the same impact to the community as the listed elements may be approved. 2. Connectivity Elements. The purpose of connectivity elements is to create an inclusive community that promotes a sense of community and provides a walkable and bikeable community with easy and quick access to nearby amenities such as schools, commercial areas, trails, and parks. a. Infill Development. The site is located in an area that is substantially surrounded on two or three sides by an existing, separate development and that will provide easy and quick access to nearby amenities such as schools, trails, and parks and that also have been identified as in a Growth Area or in a Village Center as defined by the General Plan. b. Trail System Connections. Publicly accessible trail connections are provided within the community and connect to larger comprehensive trail systems outside of the subdivision or development or have the ability to connect to any such future external trail systems. Trail alignments must not be limited to those living within the subdivision and shall follow logical and navigable routes that prioritize direct regional connectivity and avoid circuitous or indirect 'zig-zag' designs. All connections which are not direct connections to adjacent trails shall incorporate comprehensive wayfinding and guidestones to ensure seamless integration into the City’s broader trail network. c. Smaller Blocks. Smaller blocks create a more walkable community. They should be designed in a way to reduce street lengths and foster neighborhood interactions. Maximum block lengths shall be no more than six hundred sixty (660) feet unless alternatives mid-block trails are provided. The maximum number of continuous blocks with side yards facing the street is limited to three. The blocks should be broken up with some homes facing the side street and/or should be staggered. ARTICLE 3 – SUPPLEMENTAL USE STANDARDS City of Goodyear | Zoning Ordinance 51 Figure 3.5.1A - Smaller Blocks d. No subdivision perimeter wall. The subdivision is designed and homes are oriented so that sub- division perimeter walls are not necessary in order to increase connectivity from the neighborhood to sur- rounding amenities. e. Lot Diversity. At least thirty (30) percent of the lots within the subdivision exceed the minimum lot width by five (5) feet. (e.g., in a one hundred (100) lot subdivision in the R1-4 district seventy (70) homes are forty-five (45) foot wide and thirty (30) homes are fifty (50) foot wide). f. Additional Connectivity Elements. Other connectivity elements not minimally required by any other regulation, ordinance, policy, standard or master plan adopted by the City that meet the stated purpose of creating an inclusive community that provides easy access to amenities and services and provide the same impact to the community as the listed elements may be approved. 3. Streetscape Elements. The purpose of streetscape elements is to create a sense of place and ensure that smaller lot developments are of high quality. a. Additional front setback. Homes (and all elements of the homes and garages) have a minimum setback of thirty (30) feet. b. Detached sidewalk. A detached sidewalk is utilized with a planter strip that is a minimum of five and one-half (5.5) feet wide. Planter strips shall be planted and irrigated with live plant materials and maintained by the applicable homeowners’ association. A minimum of one (1) tree shall be planted in front of each residential unit. ARTICLE 3 – SUPPLEMENTAL USE STANDARDS City of Goodyear | Zoning Ordinance 52 c. Shared or Clustered Driveways. Driveways are paired so that there is a single curb-cut providing access to two (2) houses, and the total width for the paired driveway is not more than twenty (20) feet. Alternatively, driveways may be clustered (but need not share the same curb cut) so that there is at least thirty- six (36) feet of uninterrupted curb between the clustered driveways. d. Alley – Loaded Residential. Homes with Private Alley loaded garages shall comply with the following. i. Private-Alleys serving Alley-Loaded Residential shall not exceed four hundred fifty (450) feet unless either (A) the fronts of the Alley-Loaded Residential being served by the Private Alley are fronting along a public street (or private street built to public street standards) OR (B) lots adjacent to the Private Alley’s entrance provide street frontage to a public street (or private street built to public street standards) that intersects the Private Alley. Any portion of the Private Alley adjacent to common area open space tracts shall not count towards the maximum four hundred fifty (450) foot Private Alley length. ii. If the entry drive from a public or private street into a Private Alley at the T-intersection is less than two hundred (200) feet measured from the edge corner of the street to the T-intersection, it shall not be considered a separate Private Alley for the purposes of the measurement above. iii. Entries from a public or private street into a Private Alley that continues as a L-shaped or U-shaped Private Alley are not separate Private Alley’s but shall be considered part of the L-shaped or U-shaped Private Alley. iv. The Private Alley shall include either carriage lights on either side of the garage door or private HOA maintained lights/bollards to provide security lighting to the Private Alley. e. Open Space Facing Homes. Homes do not have a traditional front yard but face onto a shared open space or courtyard. f. Paving Material. Decorative paving (i.e., pavers) are utilized for all horizontal paved surfaces between the house and sidewalk. g. Deep recessed garages. Garages are setback at least twenty (20) feet from the front part of the home which could include living space or a front porch but does not include a courtyard. h. Porches and Courtyards. One hundred (100) percent of homes have a front porch or courtyard with at least fifty (50) percent of the homes having a covered front porch that is at least forty- eight (48) square feet. Covered porch can include a slatted roof or other roof design alternative, if it is an integrated, ARTICLE 3 – SUPPLEMENTAL USE STANDARDS City of Goodyear | Zoning Ordinance 53 significant architectural feature with columns that are complementary to the style of the home. i. Additional Streetscape Elements. Other streetscape elements not minimally required by any other regulation, ordinance, policy, standard or master plan adopted by the City that meet the stated purpose and provide the same impact to the community as the listed elements may be approved. E. Creation of a new lot that is less than the required minimum lot area requires approval of a Planned Area Development (PAD) or Planned Area Development-Overlay, as determined by the Zoning Administrator, or his or her designee. 3.5.2. Entry Feature. Each project shall have a unique entry feature at its primary entrance to provide individual identity to the development, if within a master planned community or city recognized development it should also incorporate community identity elements. Entry features are encouraged to be creative and may include elements such as: entrance paving, distinctive landscaping treatment, planters, special wall treatment, gates and other entry features. Figure 3.5.2A - Entry Features 3.5.3. Parks. A portion of the required open space shall be provided as park space or usable open space for recreation purposes. Facilities such as, but not limited to, pools and clubhouses can be counted toward usable open space. The following usable open space shall be provided: A. For complete developments less than 40 acres in size, 75% of required open space shall be usable open space. Phasing a larger project into 40 acre or less in order to avoid providing the neighborhood parks required for developments larger than 40 acres is not permitted.

Administrative Flexibility. The Zoning Administrator, or his or her designee, may authorize reasonable modifications to phasing, distribution of commercial floor area, and mixed‑use configuration to ensure both flexibility and certainty while implementing the intent of the CMX District. C. Master Site Plan Requirements. The Master Site Plan shall be approved by the Zoning Administrator, or his or her designee, and shall include: 1. The location and design of all pedestrian connections, pedestrian plazas and greenspaces, trails, walls, and community features. 2. The materials, colors, and design treatments of these features. 3. The phasing of pedestrian infrastructure, open space, commercial components, and other shared improvements. 4. A coordinated plan showing pedestrian access routes between residential and commercial areas and to adjacent public streets. D. Pedestrian Connectivity Standards 1. Overall Connectivity.

If a shared parking agreement lapses or is no longer valid, then parking must be provided as otherwise required by this Article. d. The shared parking plan shall remain on file with the Development Services Department for the purpose of monitoring the continuing adequacy of available parking. e. At the time of shared parking plan approval, or at any subsequent time when the uses, intensities of the uses, or the or hours of operation of the uses change, or upon findings that the ARTICLE 4 – GENERAL DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS City of Goodyear | Zoning Ordinance 168 parking facilities are inadequate, the Zoning Administrator, or his or her designee, may require additional site area to be provided, and as necessary improved, to supply additional required parking facilities. H. Credit For On-Street Parking. On-street parking that directly and wholly abuts the subject property may be counted towards the parking requirement, provided that: 1. Such spaces are clearly marked on the site plan and constructed in accordance with City standards. 2. Such spaces are publicly accessible and cannot be reserved or restricted by the owner or tenants of the property without approval of the Zoning Administrator. 3. On-street parking on private streets may be counted towards required parking provided that the street is publicly accessible (not gated) and the streets, parking spaces and sidewalks constructed are consistent with the standards for public streets in the City. I. Credit for Bicycle Parking Facilities. The City encourages the use of alternative transportation modes such as the bicycle through a reduction in the number of required vehicular parking spaces in favor of additional bicycle parking facilities. The Zoning Administrator may authorize a credit towards on-site parking requirements for all non-residential uses for the provision of bicycle facilities beyond those otherwise required by this Ordinance, subject to the following guidelines: 1. Whenever bicycle parking is provided beyond the amount required per Section 4.4.6, credit toward required on-site vehicular parking may be granted at a rate of one (1) vehicular space per ten (10) additional bicycle spaces provided. 2. The number of required vehicle parking spaces shall not be reduced by more than five (5) percent or ten (10) spaces, whichever is less, for any use or building. J.

Purpose The purpose of these standards is to establish comprehensive provisions for outdoor lighting within the City of Goodyear. This document intends to achieve a fair balance between safety and aesthetics, to encourage designs that provide for the proper quality and quantity of nighttime illumination, while minimizing negative impacts on the surrounding neighborhoods and our night sky. Proper exterior lighting design creates lighting systems that are sensitive to the surrounding neighborhoods by confining the illumination as much as possible within the boundaries of the project site. It also provides appropriate quantities and uniformity of both horizontal and vertical illumination on the site. This will involve the use of not only the appropriate fixtures and light sources, but also proper placement and operating schedules. The City of Goodyear recognizes the intentions of the Recommended Practices and Design Guidelines put forth by the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES), and has incorporated those recommendations into these standards. Applicants may acquire more information by obtaining copies of the most recent IESNA publications. 4.5.2. Applicability The requirements of Section 4.5 of this Ordinance apply to the development identified below, and approval of an Outdoor Lighting Plan is required prior to development of any outdoor lighting improvements associated with such development. A. New Development. All new residential and non-residential development shall comply with the standards and requirements set forth in Section 4.5 of this Ordinance. 1. Additions, Alterations and Restoration of Residential and Non- Residential Constructions. Building additions, alterations, and/or restorations that meet one of the following criteria listed below shall comply with the standards and requirements set forth in Section 4.5 of this Ordinance. a. Additions, alterations, and/or restorations that will increase the square footage of the facility by 50% or more. b. Alterations, and/or restorations that involve work to 50% or more of the square footage of the facility. c. Additions, alterations, and/or restorations the cost of which represents 50% or more of the value of the existing facility prior to such addition, alteration or restoration. ARTICLE 4 – GENERAL DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS City of Goodyear | Zoning Ordinance 178 2. With respect to new construction of residential (attached and detached) and additions, alterations, and restorations of existing residential (attached and detached) only sections 4.5.19 through 4.5.24 of Section 4.5 apply. B. Application Review and Approval Process. 1. Applications for Outdoor Lighting Plan approval shall be processed and reviewed in accordance with the procedures generally described herein and more fully described in the Administrative Process Manual and in this Ordinance, and in the Engineering Standards. a. Applications for approval of an Outdoor Lighting Plan shall be filed with the Development Services Department in conjunction with an application for Site Plan approval and shall include all of the information identified in the application form(s), in this Ordinance, in the Engineering Standards, and any other data that may be required by the Zoning Administrator that is needed for review of the application. b. Applications shall be signed by the property owner(s) or an authorized agent of the property owner(s) and all applicable fees shall be paid when applications are submitted. 2. The Development Review Committee shall review the application submittal for compliance with the requirements of Section 4.5 of this Ordinance, any other applicable requirements in this Ordinance, applicable Engineering Standards, and applicable provisions in the Goodyear City Code. Following the completion of the Committee’s review, the Zoning Administrator, or his or her designee, shall approve, approve with conditions or deny the Outdoor Lighting Plan. 3. The approval date of the Outdoor Lighting Plan Approval shall be the date on which the application was approved by the Zoning Administrator, or his or her designee. Outdoor Lighting Plan approvals are tied to other development approvals, which will be identified in the notification of Outdoor Lighting Plan approval; and the Outdoor Lighting Plan approval expires if such related development approval expires. C. Compliance. Construction plans for outdoor lighting installations shall conform to the development reflected in the Outdoor Lighting Plan as approved by the Zoning Administrator, or his or her designee, and shall be submitted and approved as a condition precedent for the issuance of a building permit. 4.5.3. Lighting Zones In order to be more responsive to the special needs of different portions of the City, a system of four different lighting “zones” has been established based upon the current and/or planned Uses and ambient brightness of the area. Each “zone” will have different development requirements and lighting restrictions. The “zone” for a particular project shall be assigned by City Planning staff during the development review process. The Zoning Administrator, or his or her designee, has the ability to amend the standards for any lighting zone as development patterns change. Note that lighting on arterial streets does not follow lighting zone standards but rather needs to follow the City of Goodyear Engineering Design Standards and Policies Manual. ARTICLE 4 – GENERAL DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS City of Goodyear | Zoning Ordinance 179 ZONE 1. Low ambient light areas – Rural residential areas or low-density residential areas with limited commercial ZONE 2. Medium ambient light areas – Urban residential areas mixed with light commercial ZONE 3. High ambient light areas – Urban areas having both residential and commercial use and experiencing high levels of nighttime activity. ZONE 4. Special light areas – Downtown and other special areas requiring thematic lighting or extreme light levels due to the nature of the events taking place in these areas. Figure 4.5.3A - Lighting Zones 4.5.4. Operating Hours Depending upon the “zone” that a project site is to be located in, there will be different restrictions on the hours that the outdoor lighting may operate. Every project shall be encouraged to reduce as much as possible the amount of outdoor lighting that operates after 10:00 PM, while projects in certain lighting zones shall be required to turn off all non-security lighting (except for flagpole lighting) as follows: ZONES 1 AND 2. Security lighting only after 10:00 PM or within 1-hour after the close-of-business, whichever is later. All fixtures that are not full-cutoff shall be turned off at this time. ZONE 3.

Purpose A. General Purpose. The purpose of regulating signs of all types is: to establish comprehensive provisions that will promote public welfare and safety by the placement and installation of appropriate signage; to establish reasonable regulations that promote effective messaging and economic vitality for local businesses and services; and to enhance the visual environment of the City of Goodyear. These regulations are intended to regulate the time, place, and manner of signage and not the content of speech. The regulation of signs within the City of Goodyear is necessary and in the public interest for the following reasons: 1. To facilitate the identification and location of businesses, services, and activities. 2. To provide reasonable opportunities for both commercial and noncommercial messages. 3. To allow effective signages while preventing visual clutter and the over- concentration of signs. 4. To maintain high quality signage throughout the City. 5. To provide consistent sign design standards that enable the fair and consistent enforcement of these regulations. B. Constitutional Intent. It is the policy of the City of Goodyear to regulate signages in a content-neutral manner consistent with the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and applicable provisions of the Arizona Constitution. These regulations are not intended to favor commercial speech over noncommercial speech or to favor any particular message. If any provision of this Article is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such finding shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions, which shall remain in full force and effect. C. Substitution of Noncommercial Messages. With the property owner’s consent, a protected noncommercial message of any type may be substituted for any duly permitted or allowed commercial message or any duly permitted or allowed noncommercial message, provided that the sign structure or mounting device is permitted without consideration of message content. Such substitution of message may be made without any additional approval or permitting. The purpose of this provision is to prevent any inadvertent favoring of commercial speech over protected noncommercial speech, or favoring of any particular noncommercial message over any other noncommercial message. D. Signs in Public Forums. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to prohibit the display of signs by individuals engaged in lawful picketing, protest, or other expressive activity on public property that constitutes a traditional or ARTICLE 4 – GENERAL DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS City of Goodyear | Zoning Ordinance 189 designated public forum.

A minimum separation distance of one-half (1/2) mile should be observed between any such Freeway Pylon Signs located on the same side of the freeway. c. Typically, only one (1) Freeway Pylon Sign is considered reasonable and appropriate for each qualified development site, although consideration for additional signs may be given for a site that is substantially in excess of thirty (30) acres or has a tenant or tenants of regional significance that require freeway signage. ARTICLE 4 – GENERAL DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS City of Goodyear | Zoning Ordinance 215 d. All proposed signs should be located no greater than two hundred feet (200') from the right-of-way line of the adjacent freeway, and no part of the sign shall be closer to the freeway right-of-way than fifteen feet (15’). e. The proposed maximum height of all signs shall be no greater than that which is reasonably necessary to be visible from a vehicle approaching on the either side of the freeway. In determining the maximum height to provide adequate sign visibility, the applicant shall submit empirical observation (e.g. field test with crane or balloon), computer simulation, or other evidence as required by the Zoning Administrator, or his or her designee. f. The proposed maximum sign copy area for each sign shall be no greater than that which is reasonably necessary in order to provide adequate visibility and identification of the development name and a reasonable number of the major or significant tenants within the development as viewed from the adjacent freeway. g. The sign copy of all Freeway Pylon Signs shall be limited to the development name, logo identification, and the identification of major or significant tenants. The inclusion of the name “Goodyear” as a prominent component of the sign is highly encouraged. h.

The architectural form, textures, colors, and materials for each sign shall be complimentary to the primary building architectural design of the development and consistent with other proposed signs in the development. i. The identification of the development name and tenant names on the sign should be in the form of individual pan channel lettering, aluminum routed lettering with acrylic background, or other high quality sign design characteristics. Removable tenant panels made completely of acrylic or plexi-glass materials are discouraged unless they exhibit a high quality appearance. j. In general, each sign should have low maintenance, and architectural-grade surfacing materials such as metal, masonry, ceramic tile, glass or stucco. k. Freeway Pylon Signs typically should contain only internal illumination of sign copy. External illumination, exposed neon, argon or krypton tube lighting, exposed incandescent lighting, or other exposed artificial lighting to outline the sign or portion thereof, may be considered as a component of the sign provided artificial lighting to outline the sign or portion thereof, may be considered as a component of the sign provided such illumination: i. Constitutes a design component of the overall Freeway Pylon Sign architecture; ARTICLE 4 – GENERAL DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS City of Goodyear | Zoning Ordinance 216 ii. Is an integral component of the primary physical elements of the Freeway Pylon Sign and is harmonious with the architectural style of the structure; iii. Serves only the purpose of embellishing the nighttime architecture of the Freeway Pylon Sign, and does not portray an advertising message; iv.
