Plans for a major new development across from the casino are moving ahead after Maricopa’s Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved Monday night a rezoning request and changes to the city’s general plan.

The decision clears the way for Phoenix developer Vestar to move forward with Maricopa Towne Center — a 195-acre project that would bring a mix of shops, restaurants, offices and homes to a long-vacant area at the corner of John Wayne Parkway and Farrell Road.
