Goodyear planning and zoning approves 'Las Brisas Corner' townhome concept

The Goodyear Planning and Development Commission approved rezoning from commercial to residential for a townhome concept Wednesday.

The property, currently called Las Brisas Corner, is approximately 24 acres located at the northeast corner of Perryville Road and Broadway Road.

The site is south of the existing Las Brisas single-family residential neighborhood.

The development intends to build a product with units with front doors facing onto a private open court and an alley with garages.

Each unit would have a minimum patio square footage of 66 square feet. According to principal planner Christian Williams, the developer will also provide a direct pedestrian path from their residential development to a commercial property planned on the south end.

According to Williams, units could be from 1,300 square feet to 2,400 square feet, depending on the developer's preference. Units could vary in size from 20 feet wide and 75 feet deep.

All commission staff, including Commissioner Maria Sambito, had positive comments about the project.

“I’m excited to see it as an opportunity, especially for the younger people,” she said.
