A 2.1-acre site near West Bowlin Road and North Maya Angelou Drive is one step closer to development after Maricopa’s Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of a rezone on Feb. 9, 2026. The Bowlin and Maya Angelou rezone converts two vacant parcels from the county’s Transitional zoning district to the city’s General Mixed-Use district. The site is adjacent to the City Center Complex and surrounded by a mix of civic, commercial and vacant land.
What The Rezone Means For The Area
The two parcels — known as Lots 4E and 4F of the Maricopa City Complex — are along Bowlin Road, south of City Hall, the Maricopa Library and Cultural Center, and the Maricopa Police Station. A proposed city park with family amenities is planned to the east. Nearby residential communities include Ironwood Ranch, a multifamily development, and Desert Passage, an existing single-family neighborhood. Both are roughly a tenth of a mile from the site.
