Project Description
This project envisions converting a small portion of the existing parking area within the WinCo 
Shopping Center into a Dutch Bros. Coffee shop. Dutch Bros. Coffee has seen great success in the 
valley and is looking to continue its success by developing an additional store in the successful 
Bell Road Corridor in the City of Glendale. 
A freestanding building of approximately 1,000 square feet is proposed, along with drive-thru 
lanes, pickup window, parking and landscaping.  Final design will be determined at the time of 
Design Review.
Public Outreach
Distribution of a notification letter to adjacent property owners was recommended by the City 
of Glendale for this project. The letter was sent to property owners within the required 
notification area (300 feet of the property boundary) of the project as well as to individuals listed 
on the staff provided “Interested Parties” and “Additional Notifications” lists. A copy of the 
notification letter is provided on the following pages.  No response was received as a result of 
the mailing. 
The notification area for the project is depicted below.

Project Impacts
Impacts of the development of the Dutch Bros. Coffee will be minimal as the site can absorb 
additional development. There is no immediate surrounding residential development. Due to the 
size of the WinCo Foods shopping center, the conversion of existing parking spaces into the Dutch 
Bros. will have no impact to other existing businesses.  The shopping center was developed in the 
1980’s and is overparked.
We have thought about the project from the perspective of individuals affected or otherwise 
interested in this project. There are no other standalone coffee shops within the surrounding 
retail centers and this Dutch Bros. may serve as an incentive for shoppers to visit the site for their 
shopping needs. 
Project Notices
Members of the public were informed via letter, email, or telephone call should they express 
interest in project updates. In advance of the Planning Commission public hearing, the site was 
posted on Bell Road with a 4’ x 8’ posting sign.  Planning was updated on citizen participation 
efforts through the Citizen Participation Final Report.

Subject: CUP20-02 Dutch Bros. Coffee on Bell Road | City of Glendale, AZ
Dear Neighbor,
This letter is to inform you that our Development Team has applied for a Conditional Use Permit 
application with the City of Glendale to enable a drive thru use in the C-2 (General Commercial) 
zone.  The property is located on the north side of Bell Road, east of 59th Avenue within the 
WinCo Foods shopping Center. The property is located in the Sahuaro District.  CUP20-02 is a 
request for a drive thru convenience use in the C-2, General Commercial, zoning district.
The project envisions converting an existing parking area in the south end of the shopping center 
into a Dutch Bros. Coffee shop. The total building area will be approximately 900 square feet and 
will be similar to other Dutch Bros. locations throughout the valley. The entire lot is 34,649 square 
feet (0.8 acres) and the conversion of the parking lot will not affect parking for the rest of the 
shopping center as it is currently over parked. 
Included with this letter is a site plan for your review.  Please provide any comments to my 
Conditional Use Permit request by February 29, 2020. I can be reached by letter, email, or call 
me at the contact information above.  You may also contact our Project Manager, George 
Gehlert, with the City of Glendale at (623) 930-2597.
Sincerely,
Jon Froke
