Request to Town Council Regular Meeting (Agenda Language) 
CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION: Regarding the six-month extension of 
SUP25-000002, located at 13212 N. Saguaro Boulevard, approving the reduction of up to 
nine parking spaces to provide for a new drive-through lane. 
 
Staff Summary (background) 
On December 16, 2025, the Council approved SUP25-000002, to allow the reduction of up to 
9 parking spaces on the commercial property located at the south-west corner of Saguaro and 
Palisades Boulevards. The reduction in the parking spaces was requested to provide for the 
addition of a drive-through lane for a restaurant use of the building. 
 
The ordinance requires that the building permit application associated with a Special Use 
Permit (SUP) be submitted within six months of approval of the SUP.  The applicant in this 
case is nearly ready to submit the building permit application, but may not make it by the 
June 16, 2026, deadline.  Therefore, they filed this extension request as allowed by code. 
 
There have been no significant changes to the property or the Town codes or policies since 
the SUP was approved in December.
