Staff Recommendation: 
Approval, subject to stipulations 
The purpose of this addendum is to revise the language for Stipulation Nos. 3, 15, 
and 17 to reflect the updated site plan submittal date, to ensure when the EV spaces 
are installed, and to clarify the traffic control device type, location and funding.  
On October 16, 2023 the Laveen Village Planning Committee (VPC) heard this 
request and recommended approval, per the staff recommendation with modifications 
and additional stipulations. Stipulation No. 3 was added to require general 
conformance to the revised site plan to be submitted by the applicant after the 
*meeting. The applicant has since submitted a revised site plan on November 1,
2023 that meets the required building setbacks when adjacent to the Loop 202
Freeway.
Staff recommends editing Stipulation No. 15 to ensure the EV spaces are installed 
prior to certificate of occupancy.  
On October 24, 2023, the Street Transportation Department requested that
