PROJECT NARRATIVE 
 
Dear Ms. Castaneda, 
 
My name is Edin Coralic and I am an Architect with Coralic, LLC. In this submittal I will 
be representing my client HZ Props RE, LTD, a Texas Limited Partnership. HZ Props RE, LTD. 
is seeking a Conditional Use Approval to construct a new 2,297 square foot stand-alone 
Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen fast food restaurant with a drive-thru on a 1.02 AC parcel of land 
within the City of Glendale. The proposed lot is located at 9400 W. Camelback Road 
(Camelback Road & 95th Avenue) and is currently undeveloped. The current zoning of the 
proposed lot is PAD. The other individuals that will be involved in this project are Beau Sisson, 
Director of Development for HZ Foods/ HZ Props and John McGhee, Project Manager with 
Cole, our Civil Engineer. 
The front of the building will be facing W. Camelback Road. On-site parking and drive 
aisles are necessary for operation and are included within the scope. Accessible pedestrian 
circulation from W. Camelback Road will also be accommodated. 
The intended hours of operation will be between 10am to 10pm Sunday through 
Thursday and 10am to 11pm on Friday’s and Saturday’s. The anticipated maximum number of 
employees per shift is 8. Traffic circulation is expected to be heaviest around the lunch and 
dinner hours but is not expected to impede traffic of the surrounding area. Parking was 
calculated at 1 parking space per 100 square feet of building area. This would require minimum 
of 23 parking spaces. We are proposing a total parking count of 23 spaces of which 1 is 
accessible. The drive-thru features a minimum of 6 car-stacking spaces (20’ long each) after the 
ordering speaker.  
The exterior of the building will include the new 2020 NOLA image. It is RBI’s 
(Restaurant Brands International – Owner of Popeyes Franchise) newest brand look. It is the 
same franchise look that is currently under construction on our two other Glendale locatioins, 
53rd and Bell and 59th and Northern. The façade features visual breaks and material changes 
which highlight exterior depth. The building utilizes a bright and visually enticing color pallet that 
assists in providing a more unique and pleasing façade while maintaining the desired franchise 
look. The overall building colors match the surrounding buildings and mimic the neighboring Car 
Wash to the West and the Multi-Family Apartments to the North. Our Nichiha panel color 
matches close to a color used in the Multi-Family Apartment building and our off-white EIFS 
color matches close to the colors used on the carwash. The building design/ color palette/

proposed elevations have been approved by the pad seller and the overall developer. Glazing is 
directed toward the main access street for maximum curb appeal and is well shaded against the 
desert sun with pre-finished metal canopies. Please refer to enclosed colored elevations for 
more information. 
The fully spriklered building will be V-B construction type (per 2018 IBC) and built with 
wood studs, wood trusses and wood sheathing as the primary structural members. The exterior 
will feature EIFS, Nichiha fiber cement board panel and cultured brick veneer façade along with 
multiple pre-finished metal canopies and prefinished aluminum storefronts. The roof will be an 
R-30 PVC membrane roof system (color - white). All mechanical equipment will be located on 
the roof shielded from view with building parapets.  
Signage will be proposed on all sides of the building. All signage will be back lit for 
visibility at night and it will be a separate permit submittal by the sign installer. 
Our restaurant will be the last development to go into this master developed site. The 
Car Wash to the West is already constructed and in service. The Multi-Familly Apartments to 
the North and the single family homes to the East are also constructed. Currently an existing 9 
foot tall CMU wall exists between our site and the residential uses. We will be the final piece to 
the puzzle to have this lot fully developed.  
Observation of the surrounding area indicates that it has a large percentage of 
residential and retail/ office centers, including Copper Canyon High School and a Walmart 
Supercenter with limited food service options. It is the opinion of the design team that the 
addition of a food service establishment would benefit the surrounding area. 
The main point of access to the proposed site will be from W. Camelback Road utilizing 
existing curb-cut. A rear access drive connection will be made with the Car Wash. Accessible 
pedestrian access will be from W. Camelback Road.  
This project will be completed in one phase. Typical construction schedule is 120 
calendar days.  
The building operations will require municipal water, sewer, power, gas and trash. This 
site will include an in-ground grease interceptor as well as underground storm water tank. The 
interceptor will be sized per the locally adopted 2018 IPC- International Plumbing Code. Gas 
and electric will be sized and coordinated with local gas and electric company. 
Thank you for your time in reviewing this document and your assistance on this project. 
If you have any questions or need additional information, please don’t hesitate to contact me. 
 
Respectfully submitted,
