Because of a pair of actions taken at Tuesday’s meeting, the city of Buckeye is 38.5 acres bigger.
The Buckeye City Council voted to annex unincorporated land belonging to a developer Tuesday, then approved a mixed-use development plan. The property is an rectangle-shaped parcel that stretches from 191st Avenue Jackrabbit Trail with Monte Vista Road along the southern edge and a developed residential tract to the north.
Neighborhoods to the north and south appear to be horse-friendly. Representatives of those communities met with developers, with one resident voicing various concerns during a March 15 hearing on the annexation.
The Buckeye Planning and Zoning Commission recommended, by a 6-1 vote, council approve the development plan at its March 22 meeting.
