Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Site Plan entitled “La Casa Blanca Restaurant Expansion”, consisting of two full-size sheets, dated November 17, 2020, and stamped received November 18, 2020, except as modified by the following conditions. b. Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Narrative Report entitled “La Casa Blanca Expansion”, consisting of 15 pages, dated November 17, 2020, and stamped received November 18, 2020, except as modified by the following conditions. c. The following Planning Engineering conditions shall apply: 1. At the time of the building Permit, the applicant must coordinate with the City of Chandler to properly access the site. The applicant must coordinate with the City of Chandler to dedicate the appropriate Right-of-Way. 2. All development and engineering design shall be in conformance with Section 1205 of the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance; Drainage Policies and Standards; Floodplain Regulations for Maricopa County; MCDOT Roadway Design Manual; and current engineering policies, standards and best practices at the time of application for construction. 3. Engineering review of planning and/or zoning cases is for conceptual design only and does not represent final design approval nor shall it entitle applicants to future designs that are not in conformance with Section 1205 of the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance and Drainage Policies and Standards; Floodplain Regulations for Maricopa County; and the MCDOT Roadway Design Manual. d. The CUPD will limit the site to the following uses: 1. Restaurant, café, refreshment stands, and catering use. 2. Event venue for meetings, sports, school, places of worship, banquets, weddings, receptions, birthdays, religious events, private parties, retreats with no overnight accommodations, or other similar uses. 3. Bakeries with screened outdoor storage. 4. Outdoor dining with on-site alcohol sales and food pick-up. 5. Indoor amplified music and entertainment. 6. Accessory uses/buildings similar and/or customarily incidental to the above use. e. The CUPD will prohibit the following uses: 1. Drive-throughs. 2. Rodeos, auctions, swap meets, and campgrounds. 3. Residential uses, excluding care-takers quarters. 4. Outdoor amplified music and entertainment. 5. Uses not similar with the listed allowed uses. f. The parking area shall be surfaced by asphalt millings, decomposed granite, or other alternative to limit dust pollution emanating from the parking area. g. Sound attenuation measures shall be incorporated in the refurbishment of the barn building where events will take place to minimize sound pollution emanating from the structure. h. A landscaping buffer with dense vegetation shall be added on both the west and east portions of the site as a sound buffer for the adjacent residential properties. i . All roof-mounted and ground-mounted equipment shall be screened. j. Any illuminated wall sign or wall mounted signage shall not face the residentially zoned properties to the west of the site. k. There shall be no driveway for event traffic from the site on to Victoria St. l. Noncompliance with any Maricopa County Regulation shall be grounds for initiating a revocation of this Zone Change as set forth in the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance. m. The property owner/s and their successors waive claim for diminution in value if the County takes action to rescind approval due to noncompliance with conditions n. The granting of this change in use of the property has been at the request of the applicant, with the consent of the landowner. The granting of this approval allows the property to enjoy uses in excess of those permitted by the zoning existing on the date of application, subject to conditions. In the event of the failure to comply with any condition, the property shall revert to the zoning that existed on the date of application. It is, therefore, stipulated and agreed that either revocation due to the failure to comply with any conditions, does not reduce any rights that existed on the date of application to use, divide, sell or possess the property and that there would be no diminution in value of the property from the value it held on the date of application due to such revocation of the Zone Change. The Zone Change enhances the value of the property above its value as of the date the Zone Change is granted and reverting to the prior zoning results in the same value of the property as if the Zone Change had never been granted.
