RESEARCH: Buckeye AZ City Council Decisions, Development Projects, and Zoning News (Last 7 Days)

Summary

In the last seven days, the most significant Buckeye development news centers on two major projects scheduled for Planning and Zoning Commission review — Grand View Arizona, a ~2,300-acre industrial/residential/commercial master plan, and Coyote Crest, a 64.45-acre, 901-unit residential community. Both projects were carried on the November 25, 2025 P&Z agenda, with Grand View Arizona recommended for another continuance to February 2026 and Coyote Crest receiving staff approval recommendation.
