Attachment D

Findings:  
The Planning Commission agreed with the Planning Hearing Officer findings, except for the 
recommended modification to Stipulation No. 1.a. related to the landscape setback along 59th 
Avenue. The Planning Commission agreed to remove the Planning Hearing Officer’s 
recommended stipulation for the 30-foot setback along 59th Avenue and only apply the 30-foot 
setback along Lower Buckeye Road, per the applicant’s request. The applicant provided a 
revised site plan depicting a landscape setback that varies in width along 59th Avenue and 
terminates at the north end of the site with a large retention basin. The previous site plan 
depicted the retention basin within the walled in area on the site and the revised site plan 
depicts the retention basin outside of the walled in area to be visible from the street. Therefore, 
the Planning Commission also recommended a revision to Stipulation No. 1 to require general 
conformance to the new site plan dated August 5, 2021 and noted an exception where there 
may be conflicts with general Zoning Ordinance standards.
