1. 
APPLICATION REQUEST 
Per request by the applicant, the purpose of the narrative is to request for a Conditional 
Use Permit (CUP) as well as a Site Plan Approval to the proposed 8 acre townhouse 
residential development located on 12945 W. Greenway Road, El Mirage, AZ  85335. 
 
2. 
LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION  
The proposal is to develop an 8 acre townhouse multi-family residential development 
with clubhouse, garages and community amenities.  The property is located to the east 
of Dysart Road and just south of Greenway Road and is currently vacant undeveloped 
land. 
 
Immediately west of the proposed site is an existing commercial property that is owned 
by several owners, but IIP Oasis, LLC is the main.  To the south and west of the site, will 
be proposed commercial pads that are currently undergoing the development process 
with the City.  Coordination with this developer is already initiated. 
 
Access to the property will be proposed at three separate locations.  The main access 
point will be found along the existing road to the east which is nameless.  This is 
roadway is considered private, but easement documents allow for ingress and egress to 
the public.  Two secondary access points will be found at the northwest and southwest 
of the site.  The northwest will access via the existing commercial site, while the 
southwest entrance will access through the same Private Street loop road. 
 
3. 
HISTORICAL DATA 
This property is surrounded on three sides by existing developments. On the north, is 
found Greenway Road and an existing residential subdivision (City of Surprise).  To the 
east and south, is located an existing school (Surprise School) which belongs to the 
Dysart Unified School District.  To the west is an existing commercial development that 
will be expanding along its southern portion. 
 
The property is currently zoned as Urban Corridor (UC) in the City of El Mirage.  Based 
on conversation with city staff, it is understood by the applicant that the City will require 
an application for a Conditional Use Permit as well as a Site Plan Approval for this

4 
 
property to be approved for multi-family residential use.  It is further understood by the 
applicant that the property has been vacant undeveloped land for well over two decades. 
 
Based on review of the area and the influence of the Luke Air Force Base fly zone, 
residential development within the City of El Mirage is significantly impacted.  The 
location is ideal as it sits adjacent to an existing elementary school and the site provides 
a townhouse style product that is much needed within the City.  
 
4. 
OPERATIONAL ASPECTS OF USE 
The Private Street and primary access to the property is intended to remain as is with 
minor improvements that may include sidewalk and landscaping along its frontage. The 
secondary access to the commercial property on the west will be coordinated with that 
property owner / manager.  No significant improvements along Greenway Road are 
anticipated at this time.  Review and approval from Dysart Unified School District will be 
required prior to Construction Permit approval. 
 
The site is a proposed multi-family residential community.  It is intended to be gated at 
the entrances, including the west entrance to the commercial, with view fence along 
Greenway Road and the private east street.  A CMU block wall will be located along the 
west to act as a barrier to the commercial property. 
 
The property will be managed by either onsite or offsite property management.  Either 
the property management or an established HOA will maintain internal roadways, 
infrastructure, buildings, landscaping, amenities, etc.  Typical hours of operation will be 9 
am to 5 pm, but considering the nature of the property, it is understood that these hours 
are not absolute.  It is anticipated that the development is intended for newly married / 
younger family and retiree residents. 
 
5. 
PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE 
Electric service is provided by APS. Domestic Water and sewer will be provided by the 
City of El Mirage. Refuse is by private contract.  Police is provided by the City of El 
Mirage. Fire is the City of El Mirage.  No natural gas will be used on the project.  All 
utilities within the site will be privately operated and maintained.

As noted, Greenway Road is fully developed as well as the Private Street loop road 
surrounding the property along the east and south.  Although any major improvements to 
the existing infrastructure is not anticipated, a full traffic impact study will be provided 
with the Development Application submittal.  As part of the improvements to the site, the 
existing drainage pattern will be altered however the developer and his engineer will 
ensure that all onsite retention requirements are met.  At time of the Development 
Application, a full Drainage Report shall be provided for approval. 
 
6. 
DEVELOPMENT SCHEDULE 
It is not expected that this property will be developed in phases.  A development 
schedule has not been established as of yet, however it is expected that the permit and 
entitlement process at the City will take approximately 8-12 months for final approvals.  
At which time, the developer will initiate construction and constructions is expected to 
take another 9-12 months depending on market conditions. 
 
7. 
SUMMARY 
The FIG Dysart and Greenway site is ideal for a multi-family development.  There is a 
demand in the area for affordable housing in El Mirage and inadequate supply.  More 
housing in this area will generate a higher demand for commerce, including 
supermarkets, convenience stores, offices, retail, etc.  It is the intent and desire of the 
developer to work hand in hand with the City as well as the neighbors to create a viable 
development that benefits not only the existing neighborhood, but also the future 
residents.
