SUBJECT SITE
1.
This is a request to rezone a 0.04-acre site from C-2 PCD (Intermediate

Commercial, Planned Community District, Special Permit) to allow a massage
establishment and all underlying C-2 uses in one suite within an existing

designation for the site is Commercial.
The proposal is consistent with the
General Plan designation and the land
uses in the area.

The surrounding General Plan Land
Use Map designations are Residential
2 to 5 dwelling units per acre to the

south, and Parks/Open Space –

3.
North Land Use Plan
In 1996, the Phoenix City Council
adopted the North Land Use Plan,
which established recommendations
for land use and future development
for the area generally bounded by
Cave Creek Wash to the west,
Scottsdale Road to the east, Carefree
Highway to the north, and Pinnacle
Peak Road to the south. The plan
shifted residential density designations
from the previous General Plan Land
Use Map with the goals of protecting
the desert character, recognizing
washes as a development constraint,
and maximizing infrastructure

and Development Department

efficiency. The subject site is designated as Commercial in the plan, which is
consistent with the proposed zoning.

EXISTING CONDITIONS & SURROUNDING ZONING
4.
The subject site is part of a larger site
that was rezoned to C-2 PCD in 1987
as part of a major amendment to the
Tatum Ranch PCD (Z-237-A-85-2).
The site was later developed as a
shopping center. Properties across
Tatum Boulevard and Dynamite
Boulevard from the site are also
developed with commercial and retail
uses in C-1 (Neighborhood Retail
District) and PUD (Planned Unit
Development) zoning districts. West of
the site is Dynamite Park zoned PCD
(Planned Community District). North of
the site, across a wash corridor, is a

Development Department

single-family neighborhood zoned R1-6 PCD (Single-Family Residence District,
Planned Community District).

PROPOSAL
5.
The applicant proposes to continue the use of an approximately 1,500-square-
foot suite within the shopping center as a massage establishment. To ensure
that the requested use does not expand undesirably throughout the center, this
Special Permit request is specifically proposed for the one suite containing the
use. There are no proposed changes to the approved site plan or elevations
with the Special Permit request. The City of Phoenix requires licensing for the

massage practitioner, the massage establishment and anyone with a 20 percent
or more interest in the establishment.

COMMUNITY INPUT SUMMARY
6.
At the time this staff report was written, staff had not received any letters in
support or opposition to this request.

INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS
7.
The Water Services Department commented that the property has existing
water and sewer mains that can potentially serve the development.

8.
The City of Phoenix Floodplain Management division of the Public Works
Department has determined that this parcel is in a Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA) called Zone AE and Zone X, on panel 1301 M of the Flood Insurance
Rate Maps (FIRM) dated July 20, 2021. The Architect/Engineer is required to
show the floodplain boundary limits on the Grading and Drainage plan and
ensure that impacts to the proposed facilities have been considered, following
the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Regulations (44 CFR Paragraph
60.3). This includes, but not limited to provisions in the latest versions of the
Floodplain Ordinance of the Phoenix City Code. A copy of the Grading and
Drainage Plan needs to be submitted to the Floodplain Management section of
Public Works Department for review and approval of Floodplain requirements.
FEMA approved CLOMR-F or CLOMR is required prior to issuance of a Grading
and Drainage permit.

9.
Development and use of the site is subject to all applicable codes and
ordinances. Zoning approval does not negate other ordinance requirements.
Other formal actions such as, but not limited to, zoning adjustments and
abandonment may be required.

Findings

1.
The proposal is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map designation
and with surrounding commercial land uses.

2.
The use will be appropriately located in an established retail center with access
from two major arterial streets.

3.
The proposal will provide a specialized commercial service that caters to the
diverse needs of the community within an existing shopping center.
