ITEM NO: 1 
 
 
DISTRICT 2 
SUBJECT: 
 
 
 
Application #: 
PHO-6-21--Z-100-89-1(2) 
Location: 
Approximately 410 feet west of the southwest corner of 
Tatum Boulevard and Bell Road 
Zoning:  
PSC 
Acreage:  
0.60 
Request: 
1) Modification of Stipulation 2 regarding substantial 
conformance to the site plan dated December 9, 2012 
and elevations presented, and that the development be 
limited to no more than four freestanding pads. 
Applicant: 
Ed Bull, Burch & Cracchiolo PA 
Owner: 
 
Tatum Venture LLC 
Representative: Ed Bull, Burch & Cracchiolo PA 
 
ACTIONS: 
 
Planning Hearing Officer Recommendation: The Planning Hearing Officer 
recommended approval with a modification. 
 
Village Planning Committee (VPC) Recommendation: The Paradise Valley 
Village Planning Committee opted not to hear this request. 
 
DISCUSSION: 
 
Alicia Bull, representative with Burch & Cracchiolo, provided an overview of the 
uses surrounding the subject site as well as the original rezoning case. She 
stated the proposed modification would allow for the applicant to develop an 
Autozone within the shopping center. She stated that the existing building to the 
north of the subject site would be demolished prior to development of the 
Autozone and will provide additional parking spaces for the shopping center. She 
noted that this would result in no change to the total number of buildings on the 
larger, overall site.  She stated that the subject site is located over 600 feet from 
any single-family zoned properties and would not be a detriment to any 
neighbors. She stated that there has been no correspondence received from the 
public.

Adam Stranieri, Planning Hearing Officer, provided a summary of previous PHO 
cases that impacted the stipulations on the subject site and noted that the 
approval letter would now be splitting to only impact the subject site of this 
request and not impact the rest of the shopping center. He stated that he would 
recommend approval with a modification to provide standard language and noted 
the proposed site plan and elevations are compatible with the land use pattern in 
the surrounding area.  
 
FINDINGS: 
 
1) The applicant’s request for modification of Stipulation 2 is recommended 
for approval with a minor modification to incorporate standard language 
regarding plan conformance.  The proposed site plan and building 
elevations depict the addition of a new pad site intended to house a retail 
automobile parts and supply store (AutoZone).  The proposed retail store 
is compatible with the larger shopping complex and the land use pattern in 
the surrounding area in terms of scale and intensity. 
 
2) The pad is on an approximately 0.60 gross acre parcel within an existing 
commercial shopping center.  The original rezoning case consisted of 
approximately 35 gross acres of property and established the C-2 zoning 
on the site. Two prior PHO actions (PHO-3-94 and PHO-5-12) modified 
building layout and/or the maximum number of pads on the larger site.  
The applicant in the current request represents only the owner of the 0.60-
acre AutoZone site.  For that reason, the stipulation language is modified 
to address the AutoZone site specifically to permit the development.  
However, because the remaining approximately 34.4 gross acres of the 
original rezoning area is not included, the total pad count and other related 
details in Stipulation 2 are not modified. 
 
STIPULATIONS: 
 
1. 
That The site plan SHALL be subject to Planning and Development 
Department review as per Section 507 of the Zoning Ordinance. 
 
 
2. 
That THE development, ON ALL BUT THE 0.60 ACRES DEPICTED ON 
THE AUTOZONE SITE PLAN DATE STAMPED SEPTEMBER 14, 2021,

2012, and elevations presented, and that THE development SHALL be 
limited to no more than four freestanding pads, as shown on the site plan, 
as may be modified by the following stipulations AND APPROVED BY 
THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.
