Maricopa, AZ – The Maricopa Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved rezoning for a hospital and medical facilities on September 22, 2025, allowing for the potential development of a hospital and medical facilities on a 9.33-acre site near the city’s flagship Copper Sky Regional Park. The proposed location sits at the southeast corner of West Bowlin Road and North John Wayne Parkway, adjacent to the 98-acre Copper Sky Regional Park, part of the larger 140-acre Copper Sky complex that includes the multigenerational center, aquatics facilities, and other amenities.
Jesse Slim of The BR Companies requested approval to amend approximately 9.33 acres of city-owned land from the existing D3 Copper Sky Planned Area Development to a new Copper Sky Medical Campus Planned Area Development (PAD). As Commissioner Bill Robertson explained to residents, “this is only a PAD redesignation portion of the process. This is not design review.” He emphasized that approving or rejecting the request would have no impact on what gets built, explaining they were “strictly changing, in layman’s terms, the designation of those nine acres.”
