VPC DISCUSSION: 
 
STAFF BACKGROUND PRESENTATION 
Julianna Pierre provided information regarding the location of the site and surrounding 
zoning. She provided a brief history of the site discussing the original rezoning case and 
subsequent Planning Hearing Officer cases. She noted that the current PHO proposal 
was determined to be in conformance with the original 2012 site plan. She reviewed the 
request to delete Stipulation No. 3, regarding a 50-foot landscape setback along 51st 
Avenue and Baseline Road, and Stipulation No. 4, regarding a multi-use trail (MUT) 
along 51st Avenue and Baseline Road. 
 
APPLICANT PRESENTATION 
Jesse Macias, applicant and representative with M3 Design, discussed that the 
proposed development is for a Take 5 oil change and lubrication facility. He noted that 
there would be no auto repair permitted at the location and the hours of operation would 
likely be 7AM to 7PM. He stated that there is a request to delete Stipulation No. 3 
because the landscape buffers along 51st Avenue are not consistent. He stated that the 
proposal would maintain a 30-foot landscape setback to align with adjacent properties. 
He added that the there is a request to delete Stipulation No. 4 because there is an 
existing MUT, but it is within City right-of-way (ROW). He added that the stipulation 
would require development of a second MUT in this location.

Macias explained that the MUT already exists, but it is the City ROW. He clarified that 
retention to the stipulation would result in a MUT in the ROW and then a second MUT 
on the site. Julianna Pierre displayed the City’s GIS map aerials to show the existing 
MUT. Committee members agreed that there was no need to retain the stipulation if the 
intent was met by the existing MUT. 
 
Chair Tonya Glass asked about existing adjacent landscaping. Jesse Macias 
reviewed the adjacent landscaping setbacks. The Committee agreed that the 
landscaping should match what exists.
