 5. Agenda and Public Hearings

 5.1 ZON 25-06 PUBLIC HEARING: A request by the City of Maricopa to rezone two parcels of land
 that total ±2.1 acres, from the county Transitional (TR) zoning district to the municipal
 General Mixed-Use (MU-G) zoning district, generally located 0.1-miles east of North
 Maya Angelou Drive on West Bowlin Road. DISCUSSION AND ACTION.

 James Kamstra, Assistant Planner, clarified that this was a city-initiated rezoning
 request for two parcels owned by ETP Investments.

 Mr. Kamstra detailed the location as east of North Maya Angelou Drive and north of
 West Bowlin Road, encompassing two parcels totaling 2.1 acres (Lot 4E at 1 acre and

Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes - Final February 9, 2026

 Lot 4F at 1.1 acres). He explained this was a "like-for-like" rezone from the county
 Transitional (TR) zone to the city's General Mixed-Use (MU-G) zone.

 Mr. Kamstra outlined the site history which included a replat of Lot 4 into seven
 different parcels in February 2024. He added in August 2024, the city abandoned
 portions of the right-of-way on Lots 4E and 4F. Finally, he said in September 2024,
 ETP Investments acquired the parcels from the city.

 Mr. Kamstra explained that the proposed rezoning aligned with both the General Plan
 and zoning code requirements. He conveyed that the land use designation for the
 parcels is Employment, which is compatible with the proposed General Mixed-Use
 zoning. He noted that while the employment designation does not include residential
 uses, this rezone is considered appropriate as it maintains consistency with the prior
 zoning classification.

 Mr. Kamstra ensured the rezone met all three specific requirements in the zoning
 code, which include consistency with the General Plan, the necessity to achieve the
 desired land use balance, and the promotion of orderly growth and protection of public
 welfare.

 Regarding public outreach, Mr. Kamstra mentioned that all public noticing
 requirements were met. He highlighted a neighborhood meeting was held at the library
 on January 15, though no residents attended.

 Chair Singleton opened the public hearing, but no members of the public came forward
 to speak. The public hearing was then closed.

 Commissioner Klob expressed support for the rezoning as a first step toward
 developing the site, noting his excitement about its potential for shopping,
 entertainment, or restaurants. Commissioner Yocum also noted that the rezoning
 adheres to the General Plan's employment designation, which explicitly states
 residential uses are not intended.

 Motion to approve the Bowlin and Maya Angelou Rezone was made by
 Commissioner Brems and seconded by Commissioner Whittle. The motion
 passed unanimously.


 6. Reports from Commission and/or Staff

 Rick Williams, Planning and Zoning Manager, provided updates on upcoming
 meetings. He announced that the next meeting would be held off-site at the library on
 March 23rd at 6:00 PM for the first General Plan discussion. He noted that Chair
 Singleton and Vice Chair Klob would be absent, and stressed the importance of having
 a quorum. Mr. Williams requested that commissioners notify him in advance of any
 conflicts with this meeting or the April 27th action meeting for the General Plan, which
 will be held at City Hall at 6:00 PM.

 Chair Singleton informed the Commission that he would be absent from the March
 23rd meeting because he is running for City Council and must submit signatures by
 5:00 PM that day.

 Mr. Williams expressed appreciation for Chair Singleton's service on the Commission,
 thanking him for his contributions and the conversations they've had over the past two
 years.
