STAFF PRESENTATION Anthony Grande, staff, provided a presentation regarding the proposed rezoning. Mr. Grande described the location of the request, the surrounding area, and the proposed zoning, in addition to summarizing the staff recommendation and stipulations. APPLICANT PRESENTATION Chloe Plaisance, representing the applicant with Gammage and Burnham, PLC, provided a presentation describing the history of the parcel and surrounding context, the purpose of the request, and the public outreach conducted for the case. QUESTIONS FROM COMMITTEE Vice Chair Lagrave asked for clarification on the requirement for parking lot shade. Mr. Grande replied that the stipulation would take effect if there were redevelopment of the parcel in the future. Committee Member Nowell asked about the rationale for including the parking lot in the rezoning area, rather than simply the building. Ms. Plaisance replied that it allows the proposed C-2 district to connect to the existing C-2 district on the parcel and is impacted by the 0.25 FAR limit in the Tatum Ranch PCD. Committee Member Kirkilas asked for clarification on the Proposition 207 waiver stipulation. Mr. Grande replied with an explanation of the purpose of the waiver form.

Ms. Plaisance replied that the boundary was drawn to create a rational connection to the existing C-2 district. Mr. Grande added that the proposed boundary has continuity and that staff typically would not recommend rezoning a specific suite, except for Special Permit cases. Dr. Kirkilas stated that since the rezoning includes the other suites in the building, another bar could potentially locate there in the future. Vice Chair Lagrave noted that the other portion of the parcel that is zoned C-2 used to be three separate suites and was later combined into one larger suite. Chair Bowser asked about the process to confirm the parcel has the required number of parking spaces. Mr. Grande replied that City staff reviews and confirms the parking requirements are met when there is a change of use. Vice Chair Lagrave noted that the other uses on the site have been very successful, and parking could be challenging. Ms. Plaisance noted that the site is currently overparked, and there is additional parking on the side of the shopping center. Committee Member Nowell asked if the zoning could be applied only to the building, rather than the parking lot. Mr. Grande replied with the rationale for the proposed zoning boundary, further noting that redevelopment of the parking lot is unlikely, given the development standards. Vice Chair Lagrave asked for clarification that the parking in the C-2 district is not reserved only for the buildings in the C-2 district. Mr. Grande confirmed that it is not. Committee Member Kirkilas stated that another bar could locate in one of the other suites being rezoned without the property owner going through a rezoning process. Ms. Plaisance noted that the property owner is not looking to add any additional bars in the other suites, and any larger establishments are unlikely due to the size of the suites and the building. PUBLIC COMMENTS None. MOTION: Vice Chair Lagrave made a motion to recommend approval of Z-237-L-85-2, per the staff recommendation. Rick Nowell seconded the motion. VOTE: 8-0; the motion to recommend approval of Z-237-L-85-2, per the staff recommendation, passed with Committee Members Barto, Carlucci, Israel, Kirkilas, Desert View Village Planning Committee Meeting Summary Z-237-L-85-2 April 2, 2024 Page 3 City of Phoenix • Planning & Development Department 200 West Washington Street, 3rd Floor • Phoenix, Arizona 85003-1611 • (602) 262-6882 Kollar, Nowell, Lagrave, and Bowser in favor.
