consistency between the two approval letters relevant to the subject site. He 
stated that the deletion of Stipulation 5 regarding notification requirements is 
proposed because Mr. Bob Buse no longer owns or lives at the stipulated 
address and is not able to be contacted regarding hearings. 
 
Adam Stranieri, Planning Hearing Officer, stated that the Deer Valley Village 
Planning Committee unanimously recommended approval of the request. He 
noted that the subject site of the current request was the full area of the original 
rezoning case Z-97-96-1, but that different portions of the subject site were 
subject to stipulations of the original rezoning case and PHO-1-02—Z-97-96-1., 
He stated that his recommendation would be formatted to provide consistent 
modifications in both areas to result in one set of stipulations for the full case 
area. He stated that the modification of Stipulation 1 regarding general 
conformance with the proposed conceptual site plan be approved. He noted that 
the proposed development is compatible and consistent with development in the 
surrounding area. He stated that the modification of Stipulation 2 regarding 
emergency access to Louise Drive is recommended to be approved to correct 
inconsistencies between the two approval letters. He stated that the deletion of 
Stipulation 5 is recommended for approval and that staff had also confirmed Mr. 
Bob Buse no longer resided at that address.  
 
FINDINGS: 
 
1) The subject property of this request includes the entire subject property of 
the original rezoning case Z-97-96-1, which consisted of approximately 
7.58 gross acres.  Following the original rezoning case, PHO-1-02—Z-97-
96-1 modified stipulations for approximately 5.02 gross acres on the 
western portion of the site only.  Therefore, the applicant’s request 
includes modification requests to the approval letters for both Z-97-96-1 
and PHO-1-02—Z-97-96-1. The following PHO recommendation 
coordinates the recommended modifications, deletions, and additional 
stipulations in both letters so that the result is the same in both cases and 
can be represented by a single approval letter under Case No. PHO-2-
22—Z-97-96-1. 
 
2) The requests to modify Stipulation 1 in both Z-97-96-1 and PHO-1-02—Z-
97-96-1 are recommended for approval with modifications to provide more 
standard conformance language.  The proposed conceptual site plan 
depicts existing conditions on the western portion of the site and proposes 
no changes.  On the eastern portion of the site, along Deer Valley, Road, 
the proposed conceptual site plan depicts an approximately 43,672 square 
foot office and warehouse building.  Building height is approximately 29 
feet to the roof deck and 34 feet to the top of parapet.  The site plan 
depicts minor modifications to driveways and vehicular circulation to 
improve traffic flow on the site and between the various buildings within

the subject site.  The proposal is compatible and consistent with 
development in the surrounding area. 
 
3) The request to modify Stipulation 2 in PHO-1-02—Z-97-96-1 is 
recommended for approval with a modification to retain the word “shall” for 
clarity and consistency with the modification in the original letter.  No 
change is proposed to the intent or requirement in the stipulation itself. 
This modification is solely to match language between the two letters. 
 
4) The requests to delete Stipulation 5 in both Z-97-96-1 and PHO-1-02—Z-
97-96-1 are recommended for approval.  Both the applicant and staff 
reviewed ownership information for the property and found that the 
identified individual no longer resides at this address.
