Request: Major General Plan Amendment (PL-23-0299) and Rezone (PL-23-0300) on approximately 239 acres.

Location: Southwest Corner of Avondale Boulevard and Lower Buckeye Road

Major General Plan Amendment: Amend the General Plan designation from Medium Density Residential, Estate/Low Density Residential, and Local Commercial to Business Park and Local Commercial

Rezone: Change the zoning from Agricultural (AG), Fleming Farms Planned Area Development (PAD), and Diamond P Ranch PAD, to Hermosa Ranch Technology Campus – North Planned Area Development to allow for a Data Center, Technology Campus, and Local Commercial center.

Grocery/Retail Uses. The City’s economic development department is consistently working with developers and business decision-makers to recruit new retail, restaurants, and future grocers into the community. South Avondale specifically is a high priority for the team and new residential is creating heightened demand for retail (including grocers) and restaurants. This proposed project will help progress those efforts twofold. The southwest corner of Lower Buckeye and Avondale will be set aside for retail and restaurants. The proposed project itself will help increase daytime population density with higher-wage jobs, which is very appealing to restaurants and retail dependent upon work-week lunch crowds and shoppers.

Water Usage. The proposed data center will use turbo air-cooled chillers and a closed water loop cooling system. This technology greatly reduces water demand compared to other data center cooling technology that uses water cooled chillers which consume and discharge a tremendous amount of water. In the case of the Hermosa Ranch Tech Campus North, this project will use considerably less water than the residential development currently anticipated for the site per the City’s General Plan.
