Barrel Cactus Energy Storage LLC seeks to amend the Legacy Point Planned Area Development to permit a 13.84-acre battery energy storage system (BESS) with supporting infrastructure. Located in an industrial corridor with existing utility connections, the facility poses minimal impacts to residential areas (over 1,500 feet away) and municipal services.
21-818 — pd_amendment
This case establishes detailed design and landscaping standards for the Legacy Point Planned Development, including architectural style requirements, landscape character guidelines, and irrigation specifications for both residential and industrial areas. Developers considering projects at Legacy Point must comply with these design parameters, which emphasize desert-appropriate materials, water efficiency, and specific architectural themes ranging from Adobe Ranch to Modern styles.
21-826 — pd_amendment
This Planned Development amendment modifies zoning ordinance standards for approximately 20 acres designated as Mixed Use PAD at 83rd Ave and Northern Ave, allowing modified RM-1 and C-2 development standards for commercial, office, and higher-density residential uses. The modifications include adjusted parking requirements, landscape standards, enhanced design review standards, and flexible development regulations for mixed-use projects.
21-419 — pd_amendment
This case involves amendments to the development standards for the Industrial portion of a Planned Development (I-1 PAD), primarily modifying building height allowances from 48 feet to 56 feet with specific setback provisions. The modifications establish modified development standards for industrial uses near the Grand Avenue/US-60 corridor and future Northern Parkway, which may affect land value and feasibility of industrial projects in this area.
21-500 — pd_amendment
This is a Planned Development (PAD) amendment establishing development standards for the Legacy Point mixed-use project, which includes residential (R1-6 zoning variants), industrial, warehouse, and manufacturing uses. The PAD modifies standard C-2 zoning regulations and sets specific lot size, setback, and height requirements to accommodate a multi-phase residential community alongside large-scale industrial development along the Loop 101/303 corridors.

This is an amendment to the City of Peoria Zoning Ordinance establishing permitted and conditional uses for a Planned Development district, including Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) facilities with specific siting, fire protection, equipment separation, and screening requirements. The amendment defines permitted principal and accessory uses across multiple parcel designations (including Mixed Use, Industrial, etc.) and establishes detailed use-specific limitations for BESS development.
RU-433 — Mixed-use development including single-family residential neighborhoods, light/flex industrial, light manufacturing, distribution, assembly, commercial, office, and higher-density residential
RU-433 involves annexation of unincorporated Maricopa County land into Peoria and rezoning to create the Legacy Point mixed-use development, combining residential (3.3 DU/ac), light industrial, and commercial uses across multiple PAD districts. The project replaces an existing dairy operation with ~700+ residential units, employment-generating industrial/flex space, and mixed-use commercial development. Developer approval or opposition may be critical given the substantial scope and phased construction timeline spanning residential, industrial, and mixed-use parcels.
21-804 — Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) / utility-scale energy infrastructure
This case proposes an amendment to the Legacy Point Planned Development (PAD) to permit Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) in the industrial/employment area. The Barrel Cactus Energy Storage project will occupy approximately 7% of the 195-acre PAD, positioning utility-scale battery storage infrastructure near existing grid infrastructure while creating 3-5 full-time jobs and approximately $61.4 million in economic output for the region. The amendment establishes BESS-specific standards while preserving the majority of Legacy Point for other planned employment and mixed-use development.
Z21-06A.2 — Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) - 120 MW / 960 MWh capacity with on-site substation

The facility would be located approximately 1,300 feet from residential areas within the PAD and is designed to interconnect with nearby SRP electrical infrastructure. Staff recommends approval subject to use-specific standards including 100-foot setbacks, perimeter screening, emergency response requirements, and compliance with fire protection codes.
ORD78-15 — Veterinary hospital providing preventative care, diagnostic services, imaging, surgery, dentistry, pharmacy services, and outpatient procedures for small household animals
A veterinary hospital (Care Surgery Center) is proposed as a tenant improvement within an existing C-2 zoned commercial center that previously housed a human surgery center. The use is a conditionally permitted use in the C-2 district and requires meeting specific operational standards including noise control, animal waste disposal, and restrictions on outdoor kennels and breeding.
21-342 — Wireless Communications Facility (WCF) monopole tower, 80 feet tall, designed as faux elm tree
SBA Towers X, LLC proposes an 80-foot monopole wireless communications facility designed as a faux elm tree within an existing Walmart commercial center to address regional coverage gaps. The facility meets all zoning setback and height requirements, with the nearest residential property located 410 feet away (exceeding the 104-foot minimum), and is expected to have no significant adverse impacts on adjacent properties when operated according to the conditions of approval.
SP13-0011A — Wireless communication facility (WCF) - 80-foot monopole disguised as faux elm tree with approximately 1,800 square foot equipment enclosure
This concurrent Site Plan Amendment modifies the retention area within an existing commercial parking lot to accommodate an 80-foot tall wireless communication facility (faux elm tree). The proposed facility meets all setback requirements (410 feet from residential, exceeding the required 104 feet) and represents a minor modification to an established 2013 commercial site plan with minimal impact to the surrounding development.
Z25-26 — 154 lot single family residential attached subdivision
A 74-acre parcel is being rezoned from Suburban Ranch 43 to Planned Area Development to accommodate a 154-lot single-family residential attached subdivision.

GPA26-01 — comprehensive_plan_amendment
This case removes the Public Uses land use designation from a 74-acre site while maintaining Suburban Residential and Park/Open Space designations. The General Plan amendment was approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission, which may impact future development rights and uses permitted on the property.
CU26-04 — specific_use_permit
A conditional use permit is being sought to operate a new animal clinic in a standalone building within an existing commercial center. This case is relevant if you are considering uses requiring special permits in Peoria commercial zones or tracking animal facility regulations in the city.
CU26-07 — 80-foot-tall wireless communication facility concealed as a faux elm tree
This case involves a Conditional Use Permit for an 80-foot wireless communication tower disguised as a tree within an existing 6.6-acre commercial center. The facility would occupy approximately 2,800 square feet and will be considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission on August 20, 2026.
CU25-22 — Non-Chartered Financial Institution (check cashing services)
This case involves a conditional use permit application for a check cashing service to operate within an existing commercial center on North 91st Avenue. Developers should monitor whether approval is granted and under what conditions, as this may affect neighboring commercial tenancies and the commercial center's operational standards.
Z26-02 — Mixed-use development consisting of a commercial center and a 50-lot detached single-family residential subdivision
This mixed-use rezoning on 22 acres would convert Suburban Ranch zoning to Planned Area Development with 50 residential lots and a commercial center. The project is located at Lake Pleasant Parkway and Yearling Road and was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission with a 5-0 vote on July 16, 2026. Traffic studies indicate approximately 6,000 daily trips with adequate roadway capacity for future growth.
21-146 — Check Cashing Services (Non-Chartered Financial Institution)
A check cashing service (non-chartered financial institution) is proposed to operate within an existing financial services kiosk inside a meat market (Carnicería Mr. Muuu) in a C-2 zoned commercial center. No site modifications are proposed; the use will operate under specific locational standards requiring distance separation from certain other financial and regulated uses.
21-155 — Check Cashing / Non-Chartered Financial Institution
Mr. Muuu is seeking a Conditional Use Permit to operate a check cashing/non-chartered financial institution in an existing multi-tenant building within the C-2 zoning district. No physical modifications are proposed; the use complies with all applicable spacing requirements and use-specific standards, with vehicular access provided from 91st Avenue and no anticipated adverse impacts to surrounding properties or services.
21-408 — High-density, two-story townhome development
A rezoning request would convert SR-43 and SR-35 Suburban Ranch districts (currently restricted to one home per acre and low-density single-family uses) to accommodate a high-density, two-story townhome development by DR Horton. Neighboring Sunset Ridge residents oppose the proposal, citing incompatibility with the existing character of the area and concerns about privacy impacts, property values, and the destruction of views on premium lot homes.
21-315 — Planned Area Development (PAD) with residential lots
DR Horton is proposing a Planned Area Development (PAD) rezoning near El Mirage Road and Blackstone Drive in Peoria with multiple residential lots that has generated significant community concern regarding density, views, traffic, and property value impacts. The applicant has conducted extensive citizen participation including three neighborhood open houses (November 2025, December 2025, and March 2026) and is also pursuing a minor General Plan Amendment to relocate the development further north and increase open space buffers.
01-158 — Single-family residential development with attached homes, at approximately 6.5 dwelling units per acre on developable area (approximately 2 dwelling units per acre gross density)
This rezoning from SR-43 to PAD seeks to facilitate a 24.2-acre attached single-family residential development with approximately 2 du/ac gross density, providing 46% natural open space and substantial regional trail connectivity along Caterpillar Tank Wash. The proposal includes revised General Plan land use designations (4.8-acre increase in Suburban Residential and 31.3-acre increase in Park/Open Space) and modified development standards with 120-foot building setbacks along southern perimeter to address adjacency concerns with existing Sunset Vista community.
21-503 — Mixed-use development with 6.16-acre commercial shopping center and 50-lot residential subdivision
This case involves amendments to the Land Use Matrix of the Peoria Zoning Ordinance, adding specific commercial uses (bonding companies, pawn shops, tattoo studios, marijuana dispensaries, tobacco/vape retailers, blood/plasma donor facilities, and adult uses) and residential development standards to a mixed-use planned development. The case establishes development standards for a 21.71-acre Travesio Mixed-Use project combining 6.16 acres of commercial development with 50 residential lots on 12.50 acres, requiring compliance with C-2 zoning standards for commercial and R1-6 standards for residential components.
08-429 — Mixed-use: 6.16-acre commercial shopping center (specialty grocery store and one drive-through restaurant) and 50-lot residential subdivision with 4,000 sf minimum lots
This mixed-use Planned Development rezoning from SR-43 to PAD will introduce 6.16 acres of commercial retail (specialty grocery, drive-through restaurant) and 50 residential lots (4,000 sf minimum, 4.00 net du/ac) on a 21.7-acre property. The development includes trail connectivity to regional systems, substantial open space (26% of site), and requires PAD deviations for reduced lot size, width, and setbacks to accommodate the parcel's irregular shape and natural wash constraints.
38-431 — Mixed-use development: 6-acre commercial center (specialty grocery-anchored) and 50-lot gated single-family residential subdivision
This rezoning case proposes converting a 22-acre vacant parcel from Suburban Ranch (SR-43) to a Planned Area Development (PAD) zoning to enable the Travesio Mixed-Use development. The project combines a 6-acre commercial center (specialty grocery-anchored) with a 16-acre gated residential subdivision containing up to 50 single-family lots, providing a transition between existing residential neighborhoods and the Four Corners commercial corridor.
39-0048 — Consistent commercial zoning for existing shuttle service business operations
This rezoning case involves converting a split-zoned property (½ C2 commercial, ½ R1-7 residential) to fully commercial (C2) to align with existing shuttle service business operations. The applicant has committed to installing a block wall at the back of the property, though neighboring residential property owners expressed concerns about commercial encroachment along this commercial strip between 91st and 90th Avenues. Approval would allow the property owner to operate in full compliance with zoning ordinance regulations.
39-007 — Shuttle service (expansion to entire parcel)
Applicant seeks to rezone approximately 0.33 acres from R1-7 to C-2 to create uniform commercial zoning across the entire 0.66-acre parcel, allowing Sun City Express shuttle service to expand operations to the full site. Staff recommends approval, finding the proposal consistent with the General Plan's Office Mixed-Use designation and compatible with the mixed commercial-residential neighborhood character; physical constraints and operational practices will maintain neighborhood-scale intensity despite C-2 zoning.
80-004E — Pet day care, boarding, and training kennels
Paddock's Paws, an existing pet day care and boarding facility operating in two suites at an industrial park for over 5 years, is seeking conditional use permit approval to legalize its boarding and training kennels operation in the I-1/Light Industrial zone. The facility houses up to 75 dogs with typical daily occupancy of 15 day care and 10 boarding dogs, operates 7am-7pm with outdoor areas used during cleaning and bathroom breaks, and has received no complaints from surrounding industrial tenants.
21-505 — Pet daycare and boarding facility with training studio
This case involves a conditional use permit for a pet daycare and boarding operation within an existing industrial center.
