Applicant Presentation 
 
Bill Lally with Tiffany & Bosco P.A. indicated he was the applicant representative for 
the case. Mr. Lally reminded the Committee that this was not a rezoning case and a 
Planning Hearing Officer case which is a request to modify stipulations.  Mr. Lally noted 
there were 8 PHO cases associated with this original zoning case. Mr. Lally stated this 
is a tow and impound yard today.  
 
Mr. Lally added the applicant was a company called Panattoni which was new to the 
Phoenix market but had been around for 37 years. Mr. Lally indicated Panattoni wanted 
to turn this tow and impound yard into a more traditional industrial development, and 
they are known to have high quality worldwide tenants. Mr. Lally noted the site context 
which included the large scatter wash to the south. Mr. Lally said the front face of the 
project is really focused along 21st Avenue. Mr. Lally added that Panattoni is well 
funded and capitalized. 
 
Mr. Lally said this site plan has proper details and they were providing a wide 
landscape setback along 21st Avenue and landscape along the entire project. Mr. Lally 
noted that along 21st Avenue the project would look sharp with 14 new trees. 
 
Questions from the Committee/Applicant Response 
 
Al Field asked since it was a tow and impound yard if there were any concerns about 
environmental remediation.  
 
Mr. Lally said the first thing Panattoni would do is a Phase 1 environmental study and if 
necessary, they would do a Phase 2. Mr. Lally said if clean-up was necessary the seller 
and buyer would work through that together to figure that out. 
 
Keith Greenberg asked where the impound yard is going. Mr. Lally responded that he 
hopes there’d be less of that in the area and said the Deer Valley area is changing for 
more high-tech users to support the new economy. 
 
Ozzie Virgil asked what the name of the current business at the site was and Mr. Lally 
responded it is McClure’s. 
 
Gregory Freeman asked for clarification if this was a zoning change or just changing a 
few stipulations and asked if Development Services Department still existed. Mr. Moric 
said it’s called the Planning and Development Department now. 
 
Bill Lally said there were technical corrections to update the stipulations, but he just 
explained the material changes.  
 
Al Field asked if the rendering was of the large building. Mr. Lally said yes and the 
other was a supportive office, industrial building. 
 
Gregory Freeman said this was a huge upgrade and would modernize the stipulation 
for a land use that had already been approved.
