Buckeye zoning officials signed off on a plan this week that would allow for a series of warehouses and other light industrial buildings to go up just west of the Westpark neighborhood near Interstate 10 and State Route 85.
VWP Buckeye Owner LLC, requested approval of a rezone of about 85 acres of vacant land.
On Tuesday, the Buckeye Planning and Zoning Commission approved a request to rezone the property from Single-Family Residential 43 (R1-43) to Business Park (BP) “with the intention of developing a multi-building business park on the site,” according to Wendy Riddell of Berry Riddell LLC.
City documents state that plan includes an employment center with warehouse and distribution uses that could include “a variety of commercial uses, light manufacturing and assembly, office, self-storage, wholesale, and more.”
While the exact development plan is still in flux, one design shows the site with seven structures “ranging in size from approximately 66,000 square feet to 284,000 square feet in size.”
According to Riddell, no access to the site would be through the Westpark neighborhood. Instead entry would be provided via 266th Avenue off of West Broadway Road.
“Overall, the circulation pattern has been designed to accommodate large trucks and ease the flow of traffic within the Site,” city planning documents state. “The internal street system will be private and standard and trailer parking spaces will be provided throughout the Site to accommodate employees of the proposed development.”

Didnt we vote this kind of garbage out? Stop putting warehouses behind people’s homes!
This so-called members of BUCKEYE had their heads up their butts. They have done nothing but built warehouses all around Westpark, which should’ve never happened. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a community surrounded by warehouses. We get the pollution. It gets hotter here because the big buildings and it causes respiratory infections in adult adults and children. They don’t have to worry about it because they live in so-called Verrado, which happens to be Buckeye but that’s another story. I am so disappointed. I have lived here for 15 years and if I would’ve known this, I would’ve walked away as soon as I could’ve thank you City Buckeye you’re all idiots.
Nemvers of Bucjeye got this stuck up their butts is right!
We suffer because they are greedy! Our deserts are becoming over populated with ??? And then there is the water issue’s! But its not water issues its money! Incoming from companies that want to build , then sit vacant and unused then filing bankruptcy ! !
The majority of warehouses sit vacant!
Then they want to add communities with cookie cutter homes ! And the big HOAs !
Who want to live in the middle of warehouses
So they will lower prices on homes enabling lower income families to buy and then poison them slowly with runoff from ????
Why is this not being seen !
Data centers will be installed in vacant warehouses and pipes care toxic waste will flow out under the houses! What a great genocide effirt ! Slow but steady !! Children birn with birth defects and cancer , etc etc!
