Regarding:
Project Narrative – Conditional Use Permit
Carioca Peoria and Sarival Convenience Store
S.E.C Peoria Avenue and Avenue
Glendale, Arizona
City of Glendale,
The Carioca Company would like to submit the following Conditional Use Package for review of a new
retail fuel station and convenience store located on the vacant Southeast corner of Peoria Avenue and
Sarival Avenue. The subject property consists of approximately 4.0-acres within the overall 12.44-acres
and is identified by the Maricopa County Assessor’s Office as APN 501-46-023, 501-46-154 and 501-46-
156. The property has been annexed into the City of Glendale from Maricopa County and is currently
zoned C-1, Neighborhood Commercial. We are requesting a Conditional Use Permit for our proposed
Convenience Store, as required for our proposed use, in a C-1 zoning designation.
The eastern and southern property line currently have a 6’ high masonry block wall in place to separate
the overall commercial property from the existing residential properties. We plan to develop
approximately 4.0-acres of the overall parcel on the hard corner, located approximately 350’ from the
eastern property line and 600’ from the southern property line. The fuel stations and convenience
store are the only planned improvement at this time and no cell towers or antennas are anticipated for
this property at the time of this proposal. This development will not be adjacent to the residential
property to the east or south.
The property fronts Peoria Avenue to the north and Sarival Avenue to the west and will have three
structures on the property consisting of an approximately 5,455 square foot convenience store, a six
dispenser auto fueling canopy located along Peoria Avenue and a four dispenser RV canopy located
along Sarival Avenue. Related services such as propane sales and an air station will be offered as part of
the service station. The property is located within the EPCOR service area and will be served by EPCOR
water; however, EPCOR sewer is located approximately a mile south from this property with no
immediate plans to extend sewer services north. This property will be serviced by an on-site private
sewer system until EPCOR sewer is extended north to this property. On‐site retention basins will be
generally located on the south side of the property.
Roadway access will be from Peoria Avenue and Sarival Avenue. Peoria Avenue is located directly north
of this property and is controlled by the City of Surprise. The City of Glendale owns a 35’-0” tract of
Peoria Avenue, along the southern portion of the roadway. However, all improvements along Peoria

Avenue will be coordinated with City of Surprise. Sarival Avenue is controlled MCDOT, however per
master agreement, all improvements to Sarival Avenue, south of Peoria Avenue, are to be coordinated
with City of Glendale. Therefore, all improvements along Sarival Avenue will be coordinated with City
of Glendale. We are proposing one driveway off Peoria Avenue and two driveways off Sarival Avenue.
No direct vehicular and pedestrian access will be provided to the residential properties to the east and
south.
Each entry will be 40’ width to allow for entry and exit of delivery trucks. This development will service
existing local traffic and will not increase or generate additional traffic volume, noise, or pollution to
the area. The convenience store is proposed to be located to the north of the property with vehicular
circulation around the building. The store is fronted by parking and an auto fuel canopy to the north
and a RV fuel canopy to the south. The proposed height of both canopies is 17’-0” to bottom of the
canopy and 21’-0” to top of canopy to allow for proper circulation of anticipated vehicular traffic. The
site allows for ample space for the expected traffic while allowing for a safe and comfortable internal
traffic flow around the building. Interior circulation will be designed to connect to future development
of the neighboring commercial properties.
The convenience store will be located towards the northern side of the property and oriented towards
the north, facing Peoria Avenue. The main entry to the building will be on the north side of the
building. Parking will be located along both the north and west sides of the building. The design of the
building is intended to be inviting to the surrounding community and match the surrounding context.
The proposed building height is intended to blend in with the surrounding community with an
approximately maximum height of 25’-0”. The facility will be open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and
will serve convenience items within the store such as food and drinks. The convenience store will vary
between 3-4 employees per shift, with approximately 3 shifts per day.
The auto fuel canopy placement along Peoria Avenue will allow for visibility from the store as well as
visibility from the street / intersection for safety. This will allow monitoring of the overall site from the
building and public street. The noise and lighting levels will be consistent with the existing traffic and
street conditions adjacent to this site. The lighting for the site and canopies will be in compliance with
the current City of Glendale standards and guidelines. Both canopies lighting will be flush with the
underside decking and a 36” high masonry screen wall will be provided along Peoria Avenue and Sarival
Avenue to screen the vehicular lights and interior drives. This screen wall will be finished to match the
building exterior.
The project will not be detrimental to persons residing or working in the vicinity of this property. The
surrounding area is planned for future commercial development. This project will be a welcome
addition to the community and help serve the local community, as no convenience stores are located
within the nearby area.
The project timing would be to have the facility open to the community within the next 12 months. We
are excited about this project and feel that this location is right for such a project and will help to
service the surrounding community.
Sincerely,
Esencia, LLC
