c. The applicant/property owner shall submit a ‘will serve’ letter by Rural Metro for
fire protection services for the project site. A copy of the ‘will serve’ letter shall be
required as part of the initial construction permit submittal.
d. The following Planning conditions shall apply:
1) All retention basins must drain within 36 hours.
2) All development and engineering design shall be in conformance with

application for building permits.
4) Access to and improvements along Baseline Road are subject to review
and approval by the City of Phoenix.
e. The CUPD overlay is applied to restrict the use of the site. Until such time as the
site is served by sewer, uses on the site shall only be those acceptable to the
Maricopa County Environmental Services Department (MCESD) that can be
accommodated by septic systems. A public water system shall be required prior
to establishment of any non-residential use that requires potable water.
f. The applicant/property owner shall provide a recorded copy of the 25’ access
easement along the eastern parcel boundary as part of the initial construction
permit submittal.
g. Noncompliance with any Maricopa County Regulation shall be grounds for
initiating a revocation of this Zone Change as set forth in the Maricopa County
Zoning Ordinance.
h. The property owners and their successors waive claim for diminution in value if
the County takes action to rescind approval due to noncompliance with
conditions.
i. The granting of this change in use of the property has been at the request of the
applicant, with the consent of the landowner. The granting of this approval
allows the property to enjoy uses in excess of those permitted by the zoning
existing on the date of application, subject to conditions. In the event of the
failure to comply with any condition, the property shall revert to the zoning that
existed on the date of application. It is, therefore, stipulated and agreed that
either revocation due to the failure to comply with any conditions, does not
reduce any rights that existed on the date of application to use, divide, sell or
possess the property and that there would be no diminution in value of the
property from the value it held on the date of application due to such
revocation of the Zone Change. The Zone Change enhances the value of the
property above its value as of the date the Zone Change is granted and
reverting to the prior zoning results in the same value of the property as if the
Zone Change had never been granted.

Project Summary:
1. On December 31, 2015, Kinderland submitted a zone change with a precise plan for a
new preschool and daycare facility in the Laveen area. The request is to rezone from
Rural-43 to C-2 with a Commercial Unit Plan of Development (CUPD) for a 1.28 acre
parcel generally located 970 feet east of the intersection of 35th Avenue and Baseline
Road.
2. The proposed Kinderland Learning Center consists of a single-story, 7,689 square foot
building, behind which will be a fully fenced play yard. The site plan shows a 115-foot
building setback with the first 50 feet dedicated for landscaped retention. This and
other landscaped areas will constitute approximately half of the 1.28-acre site.
3. The facility will consist of six classrooms, two common area rooms, a kitchen,
breakroom, laundry room, and restroom facilities to accommodate students and staff.
The front of the building will consist of a covered walkway to provide shade and cover
to the students and faculty entering the building. The roof will extend on the south side
of the building to provide shade to students in the main playground.

Front Elevation
4. The school will employ 16 full-time and 3 part-time staff, and enroll up to 160 students.
Business hours will begin at 6:00 am and close at 6:30 pm, Monday through Friday.
Kinderland will offer transportation to and from the facility, as well as before and after
school care. The applicant states that these services will decrease the project’s traffic
impact.
5. The site will be accessible via two driveways from Baseline Road. The west driveway
includes a 25-foot wide easement for access to the residence to the south, which also
belongs to the owner of the subject property. A total of 22 parking spaces are provided
on the north and south sides of the building, including 2 ADA stalls.
6. The subject parcel, along with the parcel to the south, was originally part of a single
parcel measuring approximately 165’ x 1280’. This extremely long parcel configuration is
characteristic of other parcels in this county island. The parcel has since been split and
recorded to create the subject parcel measuring approximately 341 feet in length.
7. Although not called out on the site plan, the applicant intends to install a freestanding
sign along Baseline Road that will comply with the base C-2 sign regulations.

Adopted Plans:
10. Laveen Area Plan: The 1992 plan designates the property for Light Industrial Center.
11. Phoenix General Plan: Designated for Large Lot Residential (1 to 2 d.u./ac.)
Public Participation Summary
12. The applicant complied with the Maricopa County Citizen Review Process with the
required posting of the site and notification by first class mail to adjacent property
owners within 300’ of the subject parcel and to interested parties. As of the date of this
report, neither the applicant nor staff has been notified of any objections or concerns.
Outstanding Concerns from Reviewing Agencies:
13. Maricopa County Environmental Services Department has concerns that the proposed
160 student preschool and day care center will be served by an offsite domestic well
and an onsite septic system. The county’s comprehensive plan calls for urban
development to have an urban level of services.
Staff Analysis:
14. The subject site is within the future municipal planning area of Phoenix, which
designates the subject property for Large Lot Residential (1 to 2 d.u./ac.). Staff received
a letter from the City stating that it will not provide sewer and water services to the
property as it is outside the city limits. However, staff cannot ascertain if the City is in
support of or in opposition to the zone change.
15. Although a preschool/daycare is allowed in a C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial) zoning
district, the applicant is requesting zone change to C-2 (Intermediate Commercial). This
is consistent with the existing commercial pattern that already exists at the intersection
of Baseline Road and 35th Avenue to the west.
16. Staff requires that a CUPD zoning overlay be applied to all commercial zone changes
for parcels without access to a public sewer service. This is done to limit the commercial
use to that which is specifically proposed by the applicant and to uses that can be
accommodated via septic; until such time that the property is served by public sewer.
No variations to the C-2 base zoning standards are proposed for fencing, building
setbacks, or signage.
17. There is further concern with the fact that water is proposed to be provided from a
domestic well on the property to the south. Septic systems must meet different setbacks
from buildings, lot lines, and walls when not served by a public water system. This may
severely encumber the lot. The City of Phoenix is a municipal water provider for this
region and must approve creation of any new public water system for monitoring of the
proposed well.
18. The properties to the east and west are primarily residential lots of at least one acre.
Staff is of the opinion that the preschool/daycare facility will be of minimal impact to
the area, and that the 50-foot landscape retention area between the front building
Agenda Item: 7 - Z2015099
Page 5 of 7

setback helps maintain the rural character of the adjoining neighborhoods.
Furthermore, the applicant’s citizen participation efforts demonstrated no
neighborhood opposition to the request.
Recommendation:
19. For the reasons outlined in this staff report, staff recommends the Commission motion for
approval with conditions ‘a’ – ‘j’ of Z2015099:
Provided the following conditions are met:
a. Development of the site shall comply with the Site Plan entitled “Site Plan”,

PROJECT NARRATIVE
A. Purpose of Requesi
This request seeks companion rezoning and site plan approvals far the 41- 1.28 acre site (the "Property")
which is currently the northern portion of a 4.83 acre parent parcel (APN 300-14-084) that is located east of 35th
Avenue and Baseline Road (3247 W. Baseline Road) within Maricopa County Supervisor District No. 5. The northern
portion of the Property is currently vacant but there is a single-family residence that exists on the southern portion of
the site (which is not part of this application) that will serve as the home of one of Kinderland's owners, thereby
ensuring that the Property is well-maintained at all times. The purpose of this request is to rezone the Property from
RU-43 (Residential) to C-2 (Intermediate Commercial) CUPD overlay zoning with a Precise Plan of Development for
a new Kinderiand Early Learning Center daycare. The CURD overlay will serve to restrict the permitted uses to only
a daycare/preschool facility. Please note, the CUPD will also prohibit billboard uses. In addition, a separate request
is being filed with the Maricopa County Recorder's office in order to split the Property so that a new separate parcel
is created for the proposed daycare use. See Aerial Map and Lot Split Map attached at Tab 1.
Kinderland is a locally-owned pre-school and daycare, which has been operating in the valley since 2005.
This Kinderland Early Learning Center will be the Applicant's fourth location in the valley. With three successful
locations — in Mesa, Tempe, and Central Phoenix — the owners plan to expand Kinderland to a fourth location within
this Maricopa County island. Each location is purposefully designed to support the surrounding community.
B. Description of Proposal
The Kinderland Learning Center development consists of a single-story (26-foot tail), 7,689 square-foot
ranch-style building that is orientated towards Baseline Road. Within the proposed +/- 115-feet building setback
from northern property line along Baseline Road, a 50-foot landscaped retention area Is proposed which will soften
the curb appeal and buffer the proposed parking area. Nearly half of an acre has been dedicated from this small
site in order to provide both the significant landscaped areas along Baseline Road and other perimeter landscape
setbacks that will be enhanced with a variety of drought-tolerant 1-inch and 2-inch caliper trees at planting with
colorful groundcover vegetation. Clearly, this proposal will preserve the area's rural character while sustaining
significant buffers between adiacent uses. See Tab 2, Site Plan, Landscape Plan and Preliminary Grading &
Drainage Plan.
There will be a fully-fenced play yard built behind the Learning Center. The Learning Center building will
consist of six classrooms, two common area rooms, a kitchen, breakroom, laundry room, and sufficient restroom
facilities to accommodate students and staff. The proposed building is comprised of a pre-fabricated metal structure
enveloped by exterior stucco walls and metal roofing. Colors will reflect the character and demeanor of Kinderland,
a playful and youthful style designed to stimulate creativity in its students. The design will also blend in with the
Residential Character of the Area. See Tab 3, Building Elevations.
The front of the building will consist of a covered walkway to provide shade and cover to the students and
faculty entering the building. Rain water received by the roof will be directed to rain gutters and downspouts hidden
from view and discharged onto landscaped areas around the building. The roof will extend on the south side of the
building to provide ample shade to students in the main playground as to protect them from excessive sun exposure.
Kinderland's mission is to "continually provide our families with the best daycare by treating children, parents,
and employees with fairness and respect, and by providing children with a comfortable, nurturing, and safe
environment." The Learning Center takes a uniquely complete approach to childcare by encouraging development
on linguistic, social, and emotional skills in addition to the traditional aspects of developmental care.
Poge 2

Kinderland Early Learning Center
The Learning Center will provide transportation to and from the facility, thereby decreasing the project's
traffic impact. Kinderland also offers before and after school care, which will decrease the traffic flow during peak
hours. Business hours will begin at 6:00am and close at 630pm.
In order to ensure it is providing the highest level of care to its students and families, Kinderland has
partnered with outside organizations such as the T.E.A.C.H. ® initiative, which is a national organization aimed at
increasing the professional qualifications of primary school educators. Kinderland has also partnered with Empower
Plus, Arizona's Quality First Program, and the Association for Supportive Child Care.
Kinderland's commitment to providing its students and their families with a first-rate, quality experience is
apparent and the Applicant is eager to bring its services to this key area within Maricopa County. A large part of
that quality includes providing a peaceful, clean, and safe environment in which children can learn and develop. The
owners' relationship to the Property and the nature of the proposed use cause the Applicant to be uniquely committed
to ensuring the development is one that improves the surrounding area and continues to benefit its neighbors for
years to come.
C. Justification for Request
The subject land use proposal implements Maricopa County's Comprehensive Plan objectives of providing
employment proximate to housing (Goal 1.5) and encouraging innovative and varied approaches to development
(Goal 1.3) by bringing a low-intensity commercial use on an underutilized property which fronts Baseline Road. Due
to the site's immediate access to a major arterial roadway, this project as proposed will not have a negative impact
on the existing/future land uses or existing conditions of the adjacent residential properties. This request involves a
small undeveloped parcel that is within approximately 600-feet of nearby C-2 Commercial zoned properties which
are located at the intersection of 35 6 Avenue and Baseline Road. This proposal is consistent with the commercial
zoning pattern that already exists along Baseline Road and is appropriate given that nearly every motor arterial
intersection accommodates a variety of non-residential uses which support the local residential communities. See Tab
4, Zoning Map.
Further, most traditional commercial users are incompatible with this property. The irregular shape of the
parcel diminishes the visibility along Baseline Road and small size of this site limits the available area needed for
parking and circulation that most commercial users require for their operations. Furthermore, traditional commercial
users do not use a septic system to support the businesses, which is the only sewer option for this site. The proposed
C-2 zoning with a Precise Plan of Development for this small daycare use provides the flexibility needed without
unnecessarily creating a significant opportunity for the Property to be redeveloped in the future with a much more
intense commercial use.
D. Relaitenship to Surrounding PfGperfies
The Property is surrounded by rural (R-43) and commercial (C-2) zoning districts. The area is a mixture of
rural, commercial, and residential uses with a number of small businesses growing alone Baseline Road and 35*
Avenue. Just to the west of the Property are a QuikTrip gas station and a self-storage facility, to the east: a limousine
rental location, and to the northwest: a Circle K and Mexican Food restaurant. Each of these uses is more intense
than the proposed Learning Center, but also exhibits a need for a few basic, commercial uses within a close proximity
to the existing residences. This area is particularly unclerserved in terms of childcare and Kinderland will be the only
learning center within a four mile radius.
The Project also lies within the Laveen Village Southwest Growth Study (the "Growth Study"). See Southwest
Growth Study Boundary Map attached at Tab 5. One of the chief objectives of the Growth Study is, "[to] establish
an appropriate land use and balanced housing mix; encourage development which protects existing residential
lifestyles and natural resources. A mixture of land uses will be needed in Laveen at build out to have a balanced
community that provides options for housing, work, and commerce. Development that complements existing uses and
rural character can help maintain Laveen as a special and unique area." The proposed Learning Center will achieve
Page 3

a mixture of kind uses in a way that will not disrupt the rural feel of the area. It will also provide a conveniently-
located childcare facility to residents who work and live nearby in furtherance of a unique, rural live and work
community.
Location and Accessibility
The Property is located east of the southeast corner of Baseline Road and 35th Avenue (the "Property") in
unincorporated Maricopa County surrounded by the City of Phoenix. The Property's frontage along Baseline Road
will provide ideal access to its patrons, who will live and work in the surrounding community. The direct access off of
Baseline further warrants the requested C-2 zoning. Kinderland will also provide transportation for its students and
offers a variation of drop off and pick up times, which will significantly cut down on the Learning Center's impact on
traffic. The proposed, looped driveway will be marked with exit and entrance signs to prevent any traffic from
backing up onto Baseline Road. The internal circulation is specifically designed to keep drop-off and pick-up
procedures moving effectively without interfering with local traffic.
Parking is provided on the north and south sides of the building for ease of use by staff and families
attending Kinderland. Accessible routes are provided for people with disabilities connecting the sidewalk to the
building.
The road on the west side of the property will be 26' wide to provide circulation in both directions. There
will be a 12' drive on the northeast side of the Property, which will provide easier drop-off and pick-up circulation
with and reduce on-site vehicle lines. The exit lane will only permit right turns, further reducing on-site vehicle wait
lines. There will also be a permanent easement for ingress and egress along the western side of the Property, which
will preserve access through the Learning Center to the residence to the south.
F. Circulation System
Legal and permanent access to the Project is provided via Baseline Road - a major arterial street along the
entire north boundary of the Property. An internal road will be paved along the western side of the site, connecting
the Learning Center to the residence on to the south.
There is sufficient room for on-site circulation and there is more than adequate spacing for turn movements.
As previously stated, this area is significantly underserved in terms of primary care uses and the proposed facility
will serve as a significant amenity to the community.
G. Development Schedule (phasinql
It is anticipated the project will be constructed in a single phase, but Kinderland will reserve the ability to
develop the Project in multiple phases if needed.
gm I.Oty Services and Facilities
Due to the nature of the type of use, additional services such as parks, school districts, or park amenities are not
needed.

J. Conclusion
The proposed Learning Center constitutes an overall improvement to the area. The request allows for
compatible development with the existing area developments and area character. The request is also consistent with
the goals outlined in the Comprehensive Plan and it supports the vision and intent of the Comprehensive Plan by
promoting orderly and responsible development. More importantly, the request follows the development trends
represented in this area and is compatible with existing residential and C-2 commercial uses and zoning districts.

RE: Z2015099 — Kinderland (35th Avenue and Baseline Road) Rezoning
Dear Mr. Tavassoli:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on case Z2015099. Per the information you
provided, the applicant is seeking to rezone a 4,73 acre property located east of the
southeast corner of 35th Avenue and Baseline Road from RURAL-43 (Rural Zoning
District — One Acre Per Dwelling Unit) to C-2 (Intermediate Commercial Zoning District).
Staff has reviewed the application material and has the following comments:
• Zoning adjacent to the subject property is R1-10 (Single-Family Residence
District). Zoning on both the northwest and southeast corners of the 35th
Avenue and Baseline Road intersection are C-2 (Intermediate Commercial).
• The property is currently designated Residential 1 to 2 dwelling units per acre on
the city of Phoenix General Plan Land Use Map.
• The city of Phoenix does not provide water or sewer services outside the city
limits.
• The property falls within the boundaries of the Laveen West impact fee area. If
the rezoning request is approved and the property is subsequently annexed into
the city of Phoenix to obtain services, impact fees will be assessed. Please
contact Adam Miller at 602-495-7026 for further information on impact fees.
Should you have any additional questions, please contact Samantha Keating at
602-262-6940.

Appeal of Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation
Case Number/ Project Name: Z2015099
Planning & Zoning Commission Hearing Date: 8-4-16
Appellant Name: Doniphan Sanchez
Mailing Addressl: 7706 s. 32nd in.
Mailing Address2: laveen, az 85339
Telephone Number: 602-435-0243

Reason for the Appeal of the subject case: Infrastructure - Baseline has no utilities from 31st ave to 35th ave.
Existing residential properties will not make the expense to extend utilities. New developments (especially
commercial) should not be allowed to build without contributing to the public infrastructure. We currently have
no water, sewer, internet, phone etc. The property north of this area could be developed by pulling utilities from
35th ave and leaving baseline undeveloped. Obvious additional concerns - additional traffic on an already
accident filled location, home value diminution, nuisances of proximity to any commercial property.
