RE: Modification of Stipulations of Case No. Z-6-12 (SWC Sonoran Desert Drive and 
North Valley Parkway) 
 
Dear Planning Hearing Officer:  
This firm represents McDonalds regarding their proposed development which is 
located at the southwest corner of Sonoran Desert Drive and North Valley Parkway, 
Phoenix (the “Property”).  The Property is subject to rezoning application Z-16-12 
which granted zoning entitlements for the total +/- 30-acre site that included a 
residential and future commercial development in 2012.  During the initial rezoning the 
commercial development was only shown as a location without a specific site plan 
due to the market conditions at the time.  As such a stipulation was included in the 
stipulations to require a review by the Planning Hearing Officer of the site plan and 
elevations of the commercial portion once the market conditions were viable for 
development.  This request seeks approval of minor modifications in order to 
implement the city’s approval and long-term goals for this Property and modify the 
current zoning stipulations to reflect the proposed development. The most recent 
action for Case No. Z-6-12-2 was the City Council ratified this recommendation on 
June 22, 2012. 
McDonald’s is now ready to move forward with a proposed restaurant use on the 
portion of the future commercial piece identified in the original site plan associated 
with the zoning case.  This development will serve the needs of the surrounding 
population of existing and new residents in the developing community.  This request 
for a neighborhood-friendly service that has been thoughtfully designed to reduce any 
impacts will provide meaningful employment opportunities and add value to the local 
community.  The proposal meets the development standards of the C-2 district and is 
an ideal use of the Property as it maintains the intended use of commercial on the 
arterial street corner.  The proposal is situated adjacent to an existing gas station/c-
store (located west of the proposed McDonalds) and north of vacant commercial land

Page 2 
kimley-horn.com
1001 W Southern Ave, Suite 131, Mesa, AZ  85210 
480 207 2666 
 
subject to C-2 (Commercial) zoning. The proposed McDonalds site layout and 
elevations have been coordinated with the existing gas station and planned 
commercial land to the south. Clearly, the project will not be detrimental to adjacent 
properties or the general area especially given the Property’s primary access from a 
major arterial thoroughfare and proximity to a variety of uses in the area.    
Given the developed site plan for the commercial property, it is necessary and 
appropriate to adhere to the 2012 stipulations requirements through the requested 
Stipulation Modification.  Accordingly, we respectfully request review of the conceptual 
site plan and elevations for this portion of the commercial portion as part as outlined 
in Case No. Z-6-12-2 below. The following is a legislative edit of the approved 
stipulations with proposed revisions for each: 
Stipulations with Modifications for Z-6-12-2: 
SITE PLAN AND ELEVATIONS- COMMERCIAL PORTION 
Conceptual site plan(s) and elevations shall be reviewed and approved by the 
Planning Hearing Office through the Public Hearing process for stipulation 
modification prior to preliminary site plan as each parcel is to be developed.  
This is a legislative review for conceptual purposes only.  Specific Development 
standards and requirements may be determined by the Planning Hearing Officer 
and the Planning and Development Department. THE RESTURANT PORTION 
OF 
THE 
COMMERICAL 
PROPERTY 
SHALL 
BE 
IN 
GENERAL 
CONFORMANCE WITH THE SITE PLAN DATES STAMPED MAY 31, 2024 
AND ELEVATIONS DATE STAMPED MAY 31, 2024.  
 
Note: The request seeks to allow a new site plan for the proposed 
restaurant on the +/- 2.60 acre Property that is adjacent to 
Sonoran Desert Drive and North Valley Parkway. The proposal 
meets the minimum C-2 (Commercial) zoning requirements and is 
in a location that was approved by City Council in 2012 for a larger 
commercial and residential development.   
 
In summary, the requested modifications to the stipulations under Case No. Z--6-\12-
2 will allow McDonalds to complete development as originally contemplated in 2012.

As with many projects, particularly after the passage of time, appropriate changes are 
necessary.  However, the proposed building and improvements will fulfill the same 
demands as the original approval in a manner that will be positive for the area.  For 
these reasons and those stated above, we request approval of this application. 
Very truly yours, 
KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES, INC.

Items 7 and 8 dealt with the North Valley Parkway and Sonoran Desert 
Drive.  One approved the land use, the second approved the rezoning.   
 
Assistant Planning Director Derek Horn advised Items 7 and 8 were related 
cases and addressed the same parcel of land.  Item 7 was a General Plan 
amendment and, if approved, would change approximately 40.3 acres at the 
southwest corner of North Valley Parkway and Sonoran Desert Drive.  It would

- 738 - 
 
June 20, 2012 
also change the designated land use from multiuse commercial-commerce park 
to multiuse commercial residential.  Item 8 was a rezoning request to remove the 
entire 40-acre parcel from the planned community development and rezone 
approximately 32 acres from C-2 Commerce Park–General Commerce Park mid-
rise North Black Canyon Overlay District to R-3A (multifamily), North Black 
Canyon Overlay District.  This would allow a mixed-use, single-family, residential 
and commercial development.   
 
Mr. Horn noted this was reviewed and recommended by the North Gateway 
Village Planning Committee and the Planning Commission.  The proposal would 
encourage development by removing the PCD designation; the proposed 
rezoning would complement uses in the surrounding area, and would add the 
first housing mix to the North Gateway Village.  Staff recommended approval of 
this.  He advised the items would require separate motions and actions. 
 
Mayor Stanton stated he had one speaker comment card submitted from 
Ms. Lindsay Schube, in favor to speak if necessary. 
 
MOTION was made by Mrs. Williams, SECONDED by Mr. Simplot, that 
Item 7 be adopted.

Mr. Larry Tom presented Z-6-12-2 and companion case Z-6-12-2.  He stated the 
following: Items 1 and 2 can be heard together, but separate motions are 
necessary.  Item 1 is a minor General Plan Amendment to approximately 40.30 
acres located at the southwest corner of North Valley Parkway and Sonoran 
Desert Drive from Mixed Use (Commercial/ Commerce Park) to Mixed Use 
(Commercial/Residential 5-10 units per acre).  The companion rezoning case is 
Z-6-12-2 a request to rezone approximately 40.30 acres from approved C-
2/CP/GCP MR PCD to C-2 MR and R-3A.  The request is to remove the property 
from the North Gateway PCD and retain the C-2 MR on approximately 8.26 acres 
and rezone to R-3A on 32.04 acres to allow for a 101 unit single family 
development.  The North Gateway Village Planning Committee recommended 
approval of GPA-NG-1-12-2, 7-1 and approval of Z-6-12-2, 7-1 with a modified 
and additional stipulation.  Staff concurs with both recommendations for the 
North Gateway Village Planning Committee.

PCD NBCOD) (40.30 acres) to R-2 NBCOD (32.04 acres) and C-2 MR NBCOD 
(8.26 acres). The purpose of the request is to remove the PCD designation 
(North Gateway PCD) and allow single-family and commercial development. 
Ms. Tricia Gomes presented the details of the case. 
Ms. Susan Demmitt, Be us Gilbert, represented on behalf of the property owner 
and provided a presentation on the request. Ms. Demmitt explained the residential 
portion of the project features approximately 100 single-family detached homes 
with 50-foot and 60-foot wide lots. The site plan depicts both active and passive 
open space amenities by preserving the wash on the west side of the site in its 
natural state, providing trails along the wash and two small park areas within the 
community. Ms. Demmitt stated that the commercial portion consisted of 10 acres 
to provide a neighborhood style commercial such as a coffee shop, a dry cleaner, 
etc. Ms. Demmitt noted that she has been working with the property owners to the 
south and east regarding how the subject site and the south and east properties 
would interface with one another. 
Vice Chairman Tim Mitten inquired how far Sonoran Desert Drive would be 
improved with the proposed development, if lighting would be provided along the 
wash and what was the southern property's concern. Ms. Demmitt stated that 
south side of Sonoran Desert Drive would be improved to the parcel's western 
boundary. Low level lighting would be provided along the wash for safety. Ms. 
Demmitt explained that the property owner to the south has concerns regarding 
the increased setbacks as a result of the rezoning request. Ms. Demmitt reiterated 
that she and the adjacent property owners have been working together to come up 
with alternative solutions to the concerns. 
Committee member Justin Baker inquired if there was space to add playground 
facilities, basketball equipment, etc. to the proposed development. Ms. Demmitt 
stated that Taylor Morrison has not determined exactly what amenities would be 
provided, but would consider the amenities Committee member Baker mentioned 
at the time of development. Ms. Demmitt noted that there is a future regional park 
planned in area.

Committee member Rick Robinson inquired if the wash crossing within the 
development would be a wet crossing and if traffic mitigation measures were 
considered for the future. Ms. Demmitt clarified that the wash crossing within the 
development would be a bridge. Ms. Demmitt explained that the only traffic signal 
required at this time by the Street Transportation Department was at the 
immediate corner. Committee member stated he wanted to make sure that 
access was not impeded on Sonoran Desert Drive or North Valley Parkway. 
Committee member Joe Villasenor inquired if a stipulation could be added to notify 
future property owners of the proximity of the Deer Valley Airport. 
Mr. Lyle Richardson represented on behalf of the property owners to the south and 
east of the subject site. Mr. Richardson stated he has concerns regarding the 
increased setbacks that single-family zoning would impose on the property to the 
south. Mr. Richardson explained that discussions have been held with the 
applicant about possibly amending the rezoning application from R-2 to R-3A to 
reduce the setbacks imposed on the southern property and notification of potential 
uses to future homeowners. Mr. Richardson noted that staff was not supportive of 
a notification stipulation regarding potential uses that required a public hearing 
process for approval. 
Ms. Susan Demmitt added that the single-family zoning could increase the 
setbacks for a 190 foot building on the property to the south; however other uses 
could be located closer to the property line such as parking, retention, or buildings 
lower in height. 
Committee member Justin Baker stated that he would have like to have seen a 
better integration of uses between the subject site and the property to the south. 
Committee member Scott Freeman expressed concern about the appropriateness 
of the location of the proposed development. Committee member Freeman felt 
the development would be better suited in another location. 
Mr. Joe Villasenor motioned to approve Z-6-12-2, subject to staff stipulations with 
one additional stipulation and one modification as follows:
