Stalled Goodyear Celebration Plaza project draws new concerns from City Council

A major mixed-use project in Goodyear around the Cancer Treatment Centers of America hospital is up for discussion again following a years-long pause.

The proposed project, Goodyear Celebration Plaza, would include multifamily housing, office and commercial retail space on about 70 acres between 143rd Avenue and Litchfield Road. RVI Planning + Landscape Architecture is the land planning firm attached to the project.

Property owner ICIC Property Investment 5 LLC is now asking Goodyear City Council to approve an amendment to the planned area development, allowing for more drive-thru restaurants that would help attract better builders and tenants.

Current zoning allows for one standalone drive-thru, and the amended PAD would allow for two standalone drive-thrus with unlimited endcap drive-thrus.

But councilmembers pushed back and unanimously agreed during a recent meeting to continue the item, expressing concern with the project straying from an original vision of a more walkable community with shops and sit-down restaurants for hospital workers, patients and their families.
