Staff has not received any other letters and there is no known opposition. Outstanding Concerns from Reviewing Agencies: 10. N/A. Staff Analysis: Z2021116 Page 5 of 7 11. Staff is supportive of the request to modify the conditions for Imagination Childcare & Preschool so that the facility can continue to operate and expand childcare services to residents of the area. The use is consistent with the county area plan and staff notes that the facility has been operating on the site for approximately 14 years with no active code violations. Further, since the approval of the original SUP in 2007, the residential development in the west valley has grown, increasing the demand for childcare and early child education services. As noted in the aerial below, the west valley is rapidly urbanizing as shown with two (2) recently approved residential developments that will bring in approx. 280 families within one mile of the site. Staff is of the opinion that increasing the capacity of the facility is complimentary with the growth in the area. 2021 Aerial Image 12.

Development and use of the site shall comply with the site plan entitled “Imagination Childcare” consisting of one (1) full-size sheet, dated March 24, 2021, and stamped received September 28, 2021, except as modified by the following stipulations. b.

The property is located just north of the strip mall located at the northwest corner of Camelback and Dysart Roads in unincorporated Maricopa County. This request is made to modify the conditions “e”, “i”, and “j” as they were approved per stipulation on May 17, 2007, relation to the current SUP, Maricopa County Zoning Case Z2007026. The applicant is requesting a modification of stipulation “e” to the May 17, 2007 approval letter. This will allow the applicant to increase the number of students from the currently approved number of 64, to a requested maximum child occupancy of 82 children. Employees for the applicant total 15; 13 teachers and 2 administrative workers are included. This number may vary from time to time but will never exceed 17 total employees. The applicant is also seeking a renewal of the special use permit, for a time frame of twenty (20) years, for Building B in the development Veranda Commons, a modification of stipulation “i” which states the current SUP would expire in 2022. This modification would allow the applicant to continue operating as a child care and preschool which serves children and students between infancy and 5 years old. Hours of Operation for the applicant is 6:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, for an additional twenty (20) years. Finally, the applicant is requesting, upon consultation with the Maricopa Count Planning & Development assigned Planner, Jose Castañeda, a removal or modification of stipulation “j,” which references status report submission to occur every five (5) years. There will be no changes needed to the building, parking, or traffic flow. The utility providers to the applicant are as follows: Water: Liberty Utilities Sewer: Liberty Utilities Police: Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office Fire Services: Rural/Metro Fire Department (RMFD) Description of Proposal The applicant is currently operating as a child care and preschool which serves children and students between infancy and 5 years old. The Hours of Operation for the applicant is 6:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, and will not be modified. The applicant is seeking an increase to the child occupancy from 64 to 82. The total number of employees for the applicant total 15; 13 teachers and 2 administrative workers are included. This number may vary from time to time but will never exceed 17 total employees. The building is part of a larger office complex and is current with all applicable building and zoning codes and requirements. Relationship to Surrounding Properties The subject property is in Building “B” of Veranda Commons, a condominium complex located just north of a strip mall located at the northwest corner of Camelback and Dysart Roads. A retail center is also established across the street on the northeast corner of Camelback and Dysart, with Basha’s and Walgreens as featured retailers. A small park and Litchfield Park/Wigwam Creek homes occupy the southwest corner of the intersection. The remaining land in the immediate vicinity is zoned, being planned or already occupied with single-family residential development. Litchfield Park grew at the fifth fastest rate of any Arizona municipality between 2017 and 2018, according to population data the U.S. Census Bureau published in May 2019. Litchfield Park grew from 6,046 to 6,310 people between 2017 and 2018. The increase of 272 people was only the 32nd largest of 91 Arizona cities and towns, but the growth rate of 4.4% was topped by only Buckeye (8.5%), Queen Creek (8.3%), Wickenburg (5.2%) and Marana (4.5%). Between 2010 to 2018, Litchfield Park increased from 4,901 to 6,310, an increase of 15.2%, which ranks 21st in the state. The exponential residential growth has resulted in overcrowding in the public schools and a real need for options in education. The applicant has historically been providing those services at this location, and an increase in occupancy will allow the applicant to serve more children and families in the area. Location and Accessibility The subject property is located just north of a strip mall located at the northwest corner of Camelback and Dysart Roads. The main point of entry is at Dysart and Colter Street, but the property can also be accessed through at least two additional entryways on Dysart, south of Colter, as the strip mall to the south has a shared parking lot. Circulation System Imagination Childcare at Veranda Commons is serviced by one major section line arterial roadway, Dysart Road. The main access to the site is located approximately 1,345 feet north on Dysart Road from Camelback Road at Colter Street. This access drive aligns with a residential development on the east side of Dysart Road. The entrance from Dysart Road into Veranda Commons is shared with Veranda II Estates, a residential gated community. This entrance is accessible from southbound and northbound traffic and provides full access -- left in, left out, right in and right out. There are three (3) points of access through Camelback Place at Dysart will allow vehicles to travel to and from the shopping center, as well as access to Camelback Road.

Children may also arrive, with a guardian, by walking on the sidewalks, from Veranda II Estates, a residential community directly west of Veranda Commons. Parking is available on the east and south sides adjacent to the building. Parking: 13 covered parking spaces exist dedicated to Imagination Childcare for teacher and parent use. In addition, parents will use any of the open shared parking spaces available at the condominium complex; however, they will be encouraged to use the designated covered spaces first.

This modification of conditions application is to allow an increase in staff and children. The site is located at 5220 N. Dysart Road in Litchfield Park, AZ. It is approximately 1.7 miles outside the Luke AFB 1988 JLUS 65 Ldn, “high noise or accident potential zone” as defined by A.R.S. § 28-8461 and is inside the “territory in the vicinity of a military airport” also defined by A.R.S. § 28-8461. As described in the application, this request will not have a negative impact on Luke AFB Flight Operations. Since the site will be located inside the “territory in the vicinity of a military airport,” it will be subjected to approximately 165 over flights per day, as low as 1,500 feet above the ground. We recommend you review the sound attenuation requirements found in A.R.S. § 28-8482. In addition, a strong notification program on the part of the applicant is essential to inform the tenant about Luke AFB operations.
