RE: CPA200804 Carefree Highway Scenic Corridor Study
Agenda Item: 3
On June 18, 2008 the Board of Supervisors approved the Carefree Highway Scenic
Corridor Study (Study.) However, three specific portions of the plan (attached) were
referred back to the Commission with proposed new language for consideration. Pursuant
to ARS § 11-823, these changes are being referred to the Commission for consideration
and recommendation. The Commission may recommend approval or denial of the
proposed modifications.
The items for consideration consist of the following:
 Page 9: Eliminating reference to “large building-size chain” retail uses.
 Page 11: Modifying “Office” uses to include “related services” and modifying
“Specialty food stores and meat markets” to include “grocery stores”
 Page 30: Appendix A – Modifying maximum lot coverage for C-S zoning and
Special Use Permits, modifying maximum lot coverage for C-O
zoning, and identifying a maximum building size.
Staff reiterates that the Study was approved by the Board of Supervisors, and that only
the designated portions of the plan shown in legislative edit format on the attachments
are subject to reconsideration. Since this is a Board of Supervisors recommendation, staff
has no recommendation to provide.
