Introduction
Pew & Lake, PLC (the “Applicant”) on behalf of Sunbelt Investment Holdings, Inc.,
(“Sunbelt”), is pleased to submit this Good Neighbor Policy to the City of Mesa (the “City”)
in support of a request for a Rezone, General Plan Amendment and Council Use Permit
(CUP) to allow a Large Commercial development on 17 acres of property located slightly
west of the southwest corner of Starfire Avenue and Ellsworth Road (the “Property”). The
Property is shown below and is comprised of two parcels known as Maricopa County
Assessor parcel numbers 304-31-045A and a portion of 304-31-045B. The boundary of
the entire parcel is shown below, outlined in red.
Purpose
This Good Neighbor Policy is provided to the City in compliance with Section 11-31-16 of
the Mesa Zoning Ordinance (“MZO”), which requires a CUP for a Large Commercial
Development in the Light Industrial zoning district. The purpose of this document is to
provide the City with general operational details of a prospective Large Commercial user;
and to establish mechanisms by which operational concerns may be addressed.

Description of Project
The Large Commercial Development on the Property will be developed in a manner that
is consistent with the Light Industrial zoning requirements and development standards
contained in Section 11-7-3 of the MZO, which prescribes development standards for any
use in the LI zoning district. The Large Commercial Development will also comply with
the additional regulations and standards established in 11-31-16 of the MZO, that apply
to Large Commercial Development. The regulations and standards outlined in Section
11-31-16 pertain to the overall site design, with special attention given to customer
entrances, entryway monumentation, open space and shade requirements.
Good Neighbor Policy
In the interest of being a good neighbor, Sunbelt and prospective users of the Property
will design a development that is in compliance with the Mesa Zoning Ordinance, and that
will be designed with sensitivity to the existing and planned surrounding uses:
• Access to the site will be designed in coordination with the Property Owner,
surrounding businesses and the City of Mesa to ensure adequate circulation and
parking requirements. Screen walls will be used where possible to shield adjacent
businesses from delivery and parking areas.
• The project will be designed to meet the City of Mesa noise ordinance, and
• Lighting at the development will be designed to minimize impacts on adjacent
properties.
Plan of Operation
Upon the completion of the Site Plan approval process, construction of the development
and the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, the Large Commercial User will be open
during business hours that are customary and necessary for the user to operate.
Complaints or Concerns
If any complaints or concerns arise from the construction of the facility, the procedure for
responding to those concerns is as follows:
1. Complaints or concerns may be reported by contacting the Property Owner at the
contact information listed below.
2. Reported concerns will be routed to the appropriate contractor or project
representative for review and follow-up, as necessary.

During the construction process, the contact for the development will be the current
Property Owner:
