The Buckeye City Council approved rezoning plans for light industrial and multifamily housing on Tuesday night.
Two agenda items involve the same project, the Westpark development that uses a master plan including 79 acres with a five-phase plan.
The first Westpark public hearing and rezoning request was presented by Ken Galcia, principal planner representing property developer KEMF Westwind East LLC.
The developer requested a rezoning of approximately 79 acres at the southeast corner of Lower Buckeye and Turner roads from planned residential to light industrial. Adjustments to development and design standards for the light industrial zoning will be handled by the Community Master Plan.
According to Galcia, the rezoning would help to bring more jobs to the Buckeye area as well as improve economic development to the city.
