A newly posted City of Maricopa notice gives residents two opportunities to learn about and comment on a proposed shopping center near Bowlin and Hartman roads.
The application is listed as CUP26-09, a request for a Conditional Use Permit for the proposed Maricopa Beyond Shopping Center. The notice places the project generally at the northwest corner of Bowlin Road and Hartman Road.
The first date is a neighborhood meeting on Saturday, Oct. 24. The second is a Planning and Zoning Commission public hearing on Monday, Nov. 9.
The important stage distinction is simple: this is a proposal under review. The City notice does not identify a confirmed tenant list, construction start, opening date or final approval.
The two public meetings
Neighborhood meeting
Date: Saturday, Oct. 24, 2026
Time: 6 p.m.
Location: Maricopa Library & Cultural Center, 18160 N. Maya Angelou Drive
A neighborhood meeting usually provides the earliest chance to hear how an applicant describes a proposal and to raise practical questions before the formal public hearing. The City notice identifies J Paul Adams Group LLC as the applicant and AGC Design Concept, Inc. as its representative.
Planning and Zoning public hearing
Date: Monday, Nov. 9, 2026
Time: 6 p.m.
Location: City Hall Council Chambers, 39700 W. Civic Center Plaza
The Nov. 9 hearing is the next formal review step listed in the notice. Residents who cannot attend can still submit written comments using the contact information below.
What the official record confirms
The Oct. 5 public notice confirms four central facts:
The request is a Conditional Use Permit application identified as CUP26-09.
The proposed project is called the Maricopa Beyond Shopping Center.
The general location is the northwest corner of Bowlin and Hartman roads.
Public review dates are scheduled for Oct. 24 and Nov. 9.
The notice does not include a confirmed list of stores, restaurants or other occupants. It also does not announce construction timing or an opening date. Conceptual artwork should not be read as an approved site plan.
That distinction matters because development projects can change during review. A proposal may be revised in response to technical review, public comments or conditions considered by the reviewing body.
Questions residents may want to ask
The meetings give nearby residents a useful place to ask questions that are not answered by the short public notice. Topics could include:
proposed vehicle access from Bowlin and Hartman roads;
pedestrian connections and shaded walking routes;
the types of uses contemplated for the site;
hours, lighting and deliveries near nearby homes;
drainage, landscaping and buffering;
the remaining review steps after the Nov. 9 hearing.
Those are questions for the applicant and City staff. They should not be treated as established project features unless the City adds supporting plans or staff reports to the public record.
Maricopa residents following other land-use proposals can also review OurMaricopa’s guide to the Maricopa Manor rezone near Hathaway and Wilson avenues and the City’s ongoing work on walking routes and shade in commercial design standards.
How to submit a written comment
The notice directs written comments to the City of Maricopa Planning and Zoning Division, attention LaRee Mason, at 39700 W. Civic Center Plaza, Maricopa, AZ 85138. Comments may also be emailed to laree.mason@maricopa-az.gov.
The City asks commenters to include their name, address, phone number and signature. Questions about the case can be directed to 520-568-9098.
Residents should check the official notice before traveling in case the City posts a change or additional material. As of this draft, the two listed public dates are Oct. 24 and Nov. 9.
