Conditional Use Permit Application NEC of 83rd Avenue and Glendale Road CUP 21-03 Prepared by: Withey Morris, PLC 2525 East Arizona Biltmore Circle Suite A-212 Phoenix, AZ 85016 Submittal: September 2021 09/14/2021 83rd Glendale Convenience CUP21-03 1 Conditional Use Permit Narrative Case Number: CUP 21-03 I. INTRODUCTION On behalf of DeRito Partners, we submit this request for the development of a new retail gas station store located at the northeast corner of 83rd Avenue and Glendale Avenue (the “Property”), as shown on the Vicinity and Aerial Maps attached as Exhibit 1 and 2. This application requests the following: 1. Conditional Use Permit to allow a retail convenience store and gas station. Section 5.754. II. Background History The site has historically operated as a gas station since its original construction in the early 1980’s according to county historical photos. Overtime, the building has been abandoned and the site is fenced off. It has become blight and an attractive nuisance with graffiti and vandalism as the pictures show at Tab 3. 2 The gas station predates the single-family residential that was constructed to the north in the mid 1990’s. In addition, two billboards were constructed on the Property around the mid 1980’s and they will remain on site as-is. DeRito Partners proposes to redevelop the site with a new gas station. The proposed development will reinvigorate a blighted vacant lot and resume a use that has been on this site for years. III. General Plan & Zoning The General Plan designation on the Property is General Commercial (GC). The Property is currently zoned Commercial (C-2), which allows a convenience use, subject to a conditional use permit. See General Plan map at Exhibit 4 and zoning map at Exhibit 5. The zoning surrounding the property is NSC (Neighborhood Shopping Center) to the south, C-2 (Commercial) to the west, and R1-7 (Urban Residential – Single Residence) to the north and east. IV. Development Proposal The development proposes a new gas station and convenience store building (approx. 4,088 sf) located towards the middle of the site in a similar location as the existing structure on the site. In addition, the gas station canopy/fuel pumps are located south of the building toward Glendale Avenue. Access to the site is off 83rd Avenue and Glendale Avenue. However, due to the older engineering and design standards, the current driveway locations will be shifted to meet current code standards. The business will operate 24/7. See site plan at Exhibit 6. 3 V. CUP REQUEST The proposed use is a convenience store and as defined by the Glendale Zoning Ordinance Section 5.754, it requires a conditional use permit. As mentioned above a gas station and convenience store has been on this property since the early 1980s before it was abandoned and boarded up some years ago. The developer proposes to redevelop the site with a new gas station and convenience store. Given the passage of time, a CUP is required since this code provision did not exist when the original store was built. This application meets all the required findings: 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; Response: This proposed use is consistent with the commercial designation of the general plan and the property’s underlying C-2 zoning designation. 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 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; Response: The CUP will have no detrimental impact on the adjacent property or properties in the area. The new development brings life to a blighted lot and resumes the same convenience store use that previously operated at this location for years. 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; Response: The property complies with the development standards for the C-2 district. 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; Response: The use is located at a major arterial intersection and precisely the area intended for this type of use. The driveways are being relocated to comply with Glendale’s new development standards and the circulation and parking are per code. 4 5. That adequate conditions or stipulations have been incorporated into the approval of the conditional use permit to insure that any anticipated detrimental effects can be mitigated. Response: The prior use was a gas station and the new development since renews that use in a more beneficial way. No new stipulations are needed or expected to recommence the historical use. VI. Summary The CUP for a convenience use is appropriate for this Property and merits approval based on the codified findings. The use will not be a detriment to the area. The new development brings life to a blighted lot and resumes a use that previously operated at this location for years. By granting this request, the intent and purpose of the ordinance is preserved. We respectfully request your approval of this application.
