STAFF REPORT
Compliance with General Plan: The 2020 General Plan identifies this site as being in the Commerce
Industry Park Planning Area and the proposed use being in compliance
with the plan. 
City Zoning/Land Use
A conditional use permit was granted in 2013 to operate an outdoor
amusement business but now requires City approval for the business to
expand its playing area and parking lot on the City's right-of-way.  
ARS 28-8481 Land Use
Compatibility
Existing use, Luke Air Force Base review not required. 
Considerations:
The property owners were granted a conditional use permit in 2013 to
operate an outdoor paintball business on the weekends. Since then, the
business has become popular and has grown. The owners have expanded
the playing area to accommodate the growth, which includes intruding
into the river bed and floodplain. City staff were made aware of the
changes when neighbors filed a complaint over the parking of patrons on
121st Avenue. The owners have since submitted a new zoning application
to amend the 2013 conditional use permit and are requesting the approval
of the conditional use permit amendment and a parking waiver to allow
patrons to park in the City's right-of-way on 121st  Avenue. The owners
have also secured a permit from the Flood District of Maricopa County to
operate inside the floodplain. 
City Staff Review
No concerns or objections.

The applicant shall consent to and address the TAC Review Comments
