5. Public Hearings / Non-Consent - New Business

5.A Council to hold a public hearing and take action on Resolution No. 51-25 revising the
 General Plan land use description of the Employment land use designation to allow
 limited residential uses within large-scale Community Master Plans or Planned Area
 Developments on property designated for Employment and consisting of 1,280 acres or
 more.
 Staff Liaison: Ken Galica, Planning Manager

Mr. Galica presented information regarding the proposed minor general plan amendment aimed at
revising the employment land use designation to allow limited residential uses within large-scale
community master plans or planned area developments on properties of 1,280 acres or more. This
amendment, initiated by the Development Services Department, seeks to create a sustainable mix of
uses similar to models seen in North Phoenix. The proposal includes criteria ensuring that residential
uses do not become the primary focus, are not adjacent to heavy industrial uses, and include
performance standards for buffering and design. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended
approval of this amendment, and it is intended to provide flexibility for future developments while
maintaining the primary focus on employment. Councilmember Youngker asked what prompted the
change in the general plan amendment. Mr. Galica explained that while the staff felt it was good
practice in general, the immediate motivation came from a master plan development which would
benefit from the proposed flexibility. Mayor Orsborn supported highlighted the benefits of flexibility for
large employment centers and the trend of workforce housing in close proximity to employment areas.
Councilmember HagEstad expressed the importance of maintaining competitiveness with other cities.
Mayor Orsborn opened a public hearing at 6:20 p.m. to hear citizen input regarding Resolution No. 51-
25. There being no comment, Mayor Orsborn closed the public hearing at 6:20 p.m. A motion was
