The permits aspect of it doesn't appear to be an issue ... it's already earmarked for this type of usage. But that could be subject to change.
The one aspect that could take time is extending utility service out there.
Quote:
What role would the City of Phoenix or even Maricopa County have in approvals after the land is purchased?
Gutierrez: “Nothing for the land or the zoning. It is zoned for the uses and obviously, we’re buying the land. We’re not asking for a development agreement from the city or the county or the state."
...
What specifically does the zoning on this property allow?
Gutierrez: “Everything that the Tempe site allowed and that I mentioned before. And this piece of land has by-right zoning of heights up to 190 feet (about 50 feet more than Tempe allowed). And it has zoning specifically for an indoor hockey arena. The reason for that is because the Legacy Sports Arena project that was going to be built in the northwest part of the I-17 is in the same zoning designation. It’s C-2 zoning and the C-2 zoning designation does also allow hospitality.”
