Subject:   Walmart Fuel Station El Mirage, AZ - #4336

The proposed project is at the existing Walmart located at 12900 W Thunderbird Rd. The 
proposed project includes the construction of a new fuel station with ten fueling dispensers 
and a 1,556 square-foot convenience store within the existing parking lot of a Walmart 
Supercenter. The convenience store has a building height of 16 feet and the canopy stands 
at 17.67 feet. Any proposed utilities will be underground, including the fuel tanks. The 
project site is located on the Southwest side of the Walmart Supercenter parking lot. The 
proposed conditions comply with city standards and codes. The project is going to be in an 
Urban Corridor zone and considered a permitted use per commercial code. Existing parking 
will be adjusted but will remain sufficient for the entire site. 
The owner of the property is WalMart Stores Inc. at 708 SW St. Mail Stop 0505, 
Bentonville AR 72716. The primary contact and consultant of the project is Ryan Alvarez 
at Kimley-Horn and Associates on 1100 W Town and Country Rd Suite 700, Orange CA
