Re: 
Stipulation Modification Request for the Property located at the Southeast Corner 
of Thistle Landing Drive and 48th Street, Case No. Z-10-96-6 
Dear Planning Hearing Officer: 
On behalf of Thistle Income Partners, LLC (“Thistle”), we are pleased to submit this 
request for Planning Hearing Officer (“PHO”) approval of proposed modifications to the 
stipulations of approval associated with a portion (approximately 2.3 acres) of Case No. Z-10-96-
located at the southeast corner of Thistle Landing Drive and 48th Street (shown on Exhibit A), 
otherwise known as Maricopa County Assessor’s Office Parcel Numbers (APN) 301-84-762, 301-
84-763, 301-84-764, and 301-84-765 (the “Property”). More specifically, this application requests 
stipulation modifications to Case No. Z-10-96-6, approved by the City Council on February 7, 
1996, governing a small portion of the Property.  
The purpose of the letter is to provide a summary of the proposed modifications, as more 
detailed on the enclosed materials.  
A. Background 
According to the City of Phoenix Zoning Index Map (A11) (Exhibit B), the Property is 
subject to two (2) separate zoning cases—referred to in this letter as “Zoning Case 1” and “Zoning 
Case 2”. 
• Case No. Z-10-96-6, approved by the City Council on February 7, 1996, governing 
a small portion of the Property at the northeast corner (“Zoning Case 1”).

Snell & Wilmer 
 
Planning Hearing Officer 
December 11, 2023

• Case No. Z-127-96-6, originally approved by the City Council on December 16, 
1996, and later modified by PHO Case Z-127-96-6—PHO-1-97 approved by the 
City Council on November 12, 1997 (“Zoning Case 2”). 
 Arguably, Zoning Case 2 applies to the Property and supersedes Zoning Case 1 as it relates 
to this Property. That said, there is discrepancy with respect to the northeast corner of the Property 
(where the roadway alignment for Thistle Landing Drive begins to veer north from its standard 
east/west alignment).  
To explain, Zoning Case 2 (which was approved after Zoning Case 1) shows the entire 
Property, including the portion of the Property at the northeast corner (as shown in Exhibit C), in 
the site plan submitted alongside Zoning Case 2. It therefore appears the intent was for Zoning 
Case 2 to rezone the entire Property, including the northeast corner.  
That said, the City’s Zoning Index Map does not include the northeast corner of the 
Property within the boundaries of Zoning Case 2. Further, while the northeast corner of the 
Property was included in the overall site plan submitted with Zoning Case 2, there is no underlying 
legal descriptions included with Zoning Case 2 showing the City’s Zoning Map was actually 
modified to include the northeast corner of the Property within the zoning area for Zoning Case 2.  
Therefore, based on the above, we are requesting modification to Zoning Case 21 (effecting 
the majority of the Property) as well as Zoning Case 1 (effecting the northeast corner of the 
Property) in order to “clean-up” this discrepancy and to update the 27 year old conditions to reflect 
the proposed redevelopment of the property.  
B.    Project Overview  
The Property is currently zoned Commerce Park/General Commerce Park Option 
(“CP/GCP”) and is developed with four (4) one-story office buildings (which are mostly vacant) 
and large supportive surface parking lots. Thistle is proposing to redevelop the Property as a state-
of-the-art technology center consisting of five (5) separate buildings (the “Project”).  
While focused toward data center users, in developing this Project, the intent is to 
complement and support the existing technology and innovation companies/campuses located in 
the Ahwatukee area. The Project will also provide a home to advanced internet-based businesses 
and those that need to locate in proximity to high-capacity computer server facilities.  
Due to the Property’s location between more intensive office and light-industrial flex type 
structures/uses to the east and south and residential dwellings to the west and north, the Project 
 
1 Modifications to Zoning Case 2 are via separate PHO application.

has been carefully designed to provide a transitional scale of massing, uses and landscaping to best 
fit the surrounding context.  
For example, the five (5) proposed new buildings will have a maximum height of 56-feet, 
similar in scale and appearance to other “Class A” type office park developments. To provide both 
a buffer as well as design enhancements abutting the surrounding public rights-of-way, the Project 
will provide substantial building and landscape setbacks that exceed the minimum code 
requirements applicable to CP/BP structures. The Project’s required substation has been 
strategically located in the southeast corner of the Site, which enables the substation to be screened 
by the proposed buildings from view of the surrounding residences. 
 In addition, the Project will add additional landscape enhancements around its perimeter 
to provide a shaded walking environment as well as a unique 2+ acre publicly accessible “parklet” 
at the northeast corner of the Property, which will provide recreational opportunities for nearby 
neighbors.  
As shown in the enclosed site plan and conceptual elevations, the Project is compatible 
with the existing industrial, commercial and office uses in the surrounding area. The current site 
is outdated and is designed for call center use, density, parking, and traffic; this type of use is also 
a lower economic driver.  Instead, the proposed Project will produce lower impacts to the to the 
surrounding neighborhood by (i) significantly reducing the number of employees on site daily 
(thus reducing traffic in the area) and will decrease the parking by over 90%, and (ii) adding 
pedestrian amenities lacking in the immediate area.  By changing to a less “traffic” intensive primary 
use (data center), providing updated neighborhood enhancing/contextually appropriate architecture, 
and adding shaded pedestrian walking routes with a 2+ acre publicly accessible “parklet”, the Project 
will be an enhancement and benefit to the community.  
In order to facilitate development of the Project, Thistle will utilize the existing CP/GCP 
development rights and underlying zoning provisions thereof with proposed modifications to the 
approved conditions of approval, which are discussed in more detail below.  
C. Stipulation Review Z-10-96-6 (Zoning Case 1) 
1. That the development be in general conformance with the site plan dated October 
1995, as may be modified by the following stipulations and review by the 
Development Services Department. 
Request: Deletion.  
2. That building elevations shall be consistent and continuous in design and materials 
around the building.  
Request: Deletion.

3. That all loading docks shall be screened from view and shall not be located such
that they face the east side of the property.
Request: Deletion. 
As explained above, this Zoning Case 1 applies (if at all) only to the northeast corner of 
the Property. If the proposed modifications to Zoning Case 2 are approved, then development of 
the Property must be in conformance with the Project’s site plan, which shows the northeast corner 
of the Property as open space. As such, the above stipulations are no longer applicable nor 
necessary.  
D. Summary
 This is a request to approve modifications to two (2) zoning cases that were approved for 
this Property over 25 years ago (between 1996 and 1997). If approved, this application will 
accommodate the redevelopment of an outdated office development with Thistle’s state-of-the-art 
technology center consisting of four (4) new buildings with a focus on data center users. The 
proposed redevelopment of the Property will be an improvement to the Property and will 
complement the existing technology companies located in the area. The proposed modifications 
will utilize the existing CP/GCP development rights for an office development, retaining 
consistency with its existing zoning while simply updating the final land use of the Property.  
We look forward to discussing this request in more detail with you. In the interim, if you 
need any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us.   
Respectfully submitted, 
Snell & Wilmer
