Mesa Planning and Zoning Board to hear Boeing ACA expansion July 22

Mesa residents have a date to put on the calendar: the City of Mesa Planning and Zoning Board will hold a public hearing on July 22, 2026 at 4:00 PM in Council Chambers, 20 East Main Street.

The agenda lists one major manufacturing-expansion item in District 5: “Boeing ACA Expansion” (ZON26-00243). The request is for a Development Plan Review and a Special Use Permit.

The July 22 hearing is a process step, not the final word i

Per the agenda, items that must be adopted by ordinance and/or resolution would be placed on a future City Council agenda. In other words, the Planning and Zoning Board hearing is a key step in Mesa’s review process—staff’s recommendation is not the last decision.

Project snapshot: “Boeing ACA Expansion” (ZON26-00243) i

• Request type: Development Plan Review and Special Use Permit

• Where it is (agenda description): approximately 1,700± feet north of the northeast corner of North Greenfield Road and East McDowell Road

How to locate the case materials i

Mesa provides GIS resources that residents can use to orient themselves to Mesa planning and zoning case context. A good starting point is the City’s planning/zoning case explorer map and layers, then search using the case name and area description from the agenda (Greenfield Road & McDowell Road area).

What earlier review showed—and why the square footage can differ i

Residents tracking the project through Mesa’s boards also have a prior reference point: the Design Review Board agenda for July 14, 2026 lists the same “Boeing ACA Expansion” proposal under preliminary design review, with an approximately 267,761± square foot manufacturing-facility expansion figure at that earlier stage.

By the time the request reaches the Planning and Zoning Board public hearing on July 22, the Planning and Zoning agenda lists an approximately 263,386± square foot expansion. Different review stages can reflect refinements as plans are processed—so it’s best to compare the numbers stage-by-stage using the posted agendas.

What to watch next i

After the public hearing, keep an eye on updated City docket materials and subsequent meeting records for the case. And because the agenda signals that any ordinance and/or resolution steps would go to future City Council, residents may also want to watch for that next phase on Mesa’s posted Council agendas.
