I. 
OVERVIEW 
 
QuikTrip Corporation (“QT”) is developing approximately 1.74 acres of real property located 
at the southeast corner of 83rd Avenue and Glendale Avenue in Glendale, Arizona (“Site”). QT 
requests Conditional Use Permit (“CUP”) and Design Review approval to allow the development 
of a new QT Convenience Store and Gas Station (“QT Store”) on this vacant, underutilized Site. 
QT’s new Gen 3S Concept Store will serve a variety of freshly made foods and drinks from a 
“full-service counter.” Customers can choose from an array of food items including pizzas, 
flatbread sandwiches, soft pretzels, and more. Specialty coffee drinks, espressos, shakes, 
smoothies, ice cream cones, and more will be offered as well.   
 
 
QT has four existing developments within the City of Glendale and looks forward to 
expanding its business within the City and continuing to increase its presence as a business 
member in the community and sales tax revenue for the City.     
 
II. 
DESCRIPTION OF SITE AND SCOPE OF DEVELOPMENT 
The QT Site is currently vacant and undeveloped within an area of the General Plan Land 
Use Map designated: Corporate Commerce Center.  The Site is zoned Planned Area 
Development (“PAD”) with commercial zoning allowing a gas station and convenience store 
with a CUP.  Thus, a gas station and convenience store use (such as QT) was specifically 
contemplated in the approved zoning on the Site.  
 
The scope of QT’s development will include two structures: an approximate 4,993 square 
foot QT Convenience Store building and an accompanying approximate 7,287 square foot fuel 
station canopy. Additionally, QT will be preparing the remainder of the Site for future 
development by installing driveways; half-street improvements including curb, gutter, and 
sidewalk; frontage landscaping; and street lighting. QT will also be coordinating water and sewer 
tie ins that adjacent future developments will tie into. 
 
III. 
BUILDING AND SITE DESIGN 
QT’s new “Gen 3S” Store provides architectural articulation on all four sides of the building, 
adding character to the building and Site. Building Elevations and Fuel Station Canopy 
Elevations are enclosed in this submittal. The QT Site has been thoughtfully designed. The

3 
 
proposed QT Store and Fuel Station Canopy is consistent with the G83 Plaza PAD Development 
Standards and is consistent with the architectural themes of the PAD. The color of the building 
includes variety to create diversity and appeal. A range of material types were chosen to provide 
visual and textural contrast. The windows are shaded with awnings to reduce heat gain and 
increase energy efficiency. The fuel station canopy is designed to match the architecture of the 
QT Store. The solid face of the canopy facade will be broken up by offsets, providing horizontal 
articulation, and enhanced architectural styling.     
 
The proposed QT Convenience Store is approximately 4,993 square feet. The building will 
be predominantly brick construction in “Bronzestone”—a traditional red color—with accent 
bands and columns of contrasting “Midnight” color scheme. Pedestrian shading is provided by 
metal building awnings with complimentary “red” colors. The store will also feature large 
windows with steel framing, creating a sleek juxtaposition to the brick elements.  
 
Outside the QT Store, the fuel station canopy has been designed to complement the 
architecture of the store and contains the same metal elements in the facade for architectural 
cohesiveness. Beneath the fuel station canopy, there will be 8 fuel stations that can serve up to 16 
automobiles at a time. The customer parking experience is also very important to QT. The QT 
Store provides multiple “front doors” on the north, west and east sides of the building to provide 
up-front parking for all customers.   
  
The entire Site has been designed to be attractive and fitting to the area. Great care was also 
used in planning ingress and egress to the Site and as mentioned, QT will prepare the Site for 
future development.  
IV. 
LANDSCAPING 
The landscape theme incorporates various types of desert-themed trees, shrubs, and 
groundcovers. A Conceptual Landscape Plan is enclosed with this submittal. The trees include 
Acacias, Red Push, and Live Oak. The bushes and ground cover includes a variety of desert 
succulents and other low water usage plants. 
 
V. 
SIGNAGE 
One freestanding monument sign will be located along Glendale Avenue and one 
freestanding monument sign will be located along 83rd Avenue. The freestanding monument sign 
locations and designs are shown on the Site Plan.  Further, there is a “QuikTrip” sign and two 
“QT” button signs on the north (front) side of the building, a “QuikTrip” sign on the south (rear) 
side of the building, and two “QT” button signs are located on the Fuel Station Canopy. 
 
VI. 
OPERATION HOURS 
QuikTrip’s Store will be open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This store will employ dozens 
of individuals, and the number of employees present will vary depending on demand. However, 
QT expects anywhere from 2-6 employees on-site at any given time.

VII. 
CONFORMANCE WITH THE GENERAL PLAN 
The proposed QT Store and this CUP request are supported by the General Plan. The Site is 
designated Corporate Commerce Center in the General Plan. The Corporate Commerce Center 
designation promotes mixed-use developments and is suitable for the proposed QT Store 
development.  Further, below is a summary of QT’s conformance to the City’s General Plan 
Land Use Goals and Policies:      
Policy GA‐1.3 “The City shall assign higher priorities to projects that foster City employment 
and revenue objectives.” 
Policy ED‐1.1 “The City should attract and retain a variety of industries that will provide 
employment opportunities for residents with a wide range of skill and educational levels.”   
 
The proposed QT will be the fifth QT in Glendale. The new QT Store represents a significant 
investment in the City and will increase sales tax revenue. Further, QT is an economically stable 
corporation that provides valuable employment opportunities for community residents.  
 
Policy CRR‐3.2 “The City shall promote reuse and intensification of industrial and / or vacant 
commercial properties.” 
 
The Site is currently vacant and underutilized. The QuikTrip store makes good sense on this Site 
and will be a valuable asset to the area. 
 
VIII. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST 
Per the G83 Plaza PAD, a Conditional Use Permit is requested for QT’s “Gasoline Sales/ 
Convenience Store” use. A Citizen Participation Plan has been prepared and will be implemented 
concurrently with the CUP process to ensure communication with neighboring property owners.  
 
IX. 
MEETS AND EXCEEDS OBJECTIVE CRITERIA FOR USE PERMIT 
APPROVALS 
The QT development meets and exceeds the required findings for a Conditional Use Permit 
under the City’s Zoning Ordinance.  
1. That the proposed use is consistent with the policies, objectives, and land use map of the 
Glendale General Plan and the purpose of the zone district in which the site is located; 
As stated, the QT Site is located in the Corporate Commerce Center, which provides for the 
development of mixed-uses. QT will use a portion of the Site for the gas station and convenience 
store use and the existing owner of the property is preparing the remainder of the Site for 
complimentary uses.  The Site is part of the G83 Plaza PAD, which allows for commercial uses. 
Further, as described above, the QT development is consistent with the goals and policies of the 
general plan.  
2. That the proposed use will not be materially detrimental to the health, safety or general 
welfare of persons residing or working within the neighborhood of the proposed use, or have

5 
 
an adverse effect on the property, adjacent properties, the surrounding neighborhood or the 
city when consideration is given to the character and size of the use and hours of operation; 
The use is compatible and will be an asset to the surrounding commercial and residential uses. 
The intent of the G83 Plaza PAD is to create a mix of uses that responds to market conditions 
and is complimentary to the nearby Glendale Sports & Entertainment District. The proposed 
QT Store serves the purposes of the PAD.  The QT will be a quality development and not 
detrimental to persons residing in the area. Rather, the proposed development will benefit the 
area by providing goods, services, and jobs to the area to both nearby residents and visitors.   
3. That the proposed site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the intended use and 
that all requirements for the zone district, including but not limited to: setbacks, walls, 
landscaping and buffer yards are met; 
The vacant, underutilized Site is more than adequate in size and shape to accommodate the 
proposed use, as demonstrated on the Site Plan. There is safe on-site circulation demonstrated on 
the Site Plan and the plan meets and exceeds all required development standards under the 
applicable PAD. 
 
4. That the proposed site has adequate access to public streets and highways to carry the type 
and quantity of traffic which may be generated by the subject use, and that on-site circulation 
is adequate to permit driveways, parking, and loading requirements in a manner which is safe 
and efficient. 
QT customers will have safe and convenient access to enter and exit the Site to/from 83rd Avenue 
and Glendale Avenue. Also, as stated above, QT will be preparing the Site for future 
development by installing driveways; half-street improvements including curb, gutter, and 
sidewalk; frontage landscaping; and street lighting. Additionally, a traffic impact analysis has 
been conducted and included with this submittal in order to ensure a proper transportation plan. 
5. That adequate conditions or stipulations have been incorporated into the approval of the 
conditional use permit to ensure that any anticipated detrimental effects can be mitigated. 
There are no adverse effects created by this QT development. On the contrary, the QT Store will 
be a quality development that will be an asset to the area. We will work with City Staff to ensure 
any adequate conditions are incorporated into the approval of this CUP.
