A. Introduction and Project Overview 
 
On behalf of Eliseo Guadarrama Ramirez  (the Applicant), this application is a request for approval 
of a rezone, minor General Plan amendment, Bonus Intensity Zone (BIZ) overlay, and Site Plan 
Review for the approximately 0.39 net acre property located at the southwest corner of 
University Drive and Longmore, otherwise commonly known as Maricopa County Assessor’s 
Parcel Number 135-64-116 (the Property) (See Tab A, Aerial Map). The Property is currently 
operated as the San Antonio Tire Shop and was previously utilized for a gas station.  
 
The Property is an undersized parcel that presents numerous development challenges.  As 
detailed herein, the intent of the BIZ Overlay is to establish site-specific development standards 
and design criteria for development and operation of the Property for a high-quality minor auto 
repair business. The proposed development will substantially improve the existing condition of 
the site and support small business growth within the City of Mesa.  
 
B. Relationship to Adjacent Properties 
 
The Property is bounded by right of way on the north and east. To the north is University Drive, 
across which is a strip retail center zoned LC. To the east is Longmore, across which is an existing 
auto repair business zoned LC. To the south and west are single-family residential uses zoned RS-
6.

C. General Plan and Zoning 
 
The City of Mesa 2050 General Plan, which was adopted in November 2024, includes substantial 
changes to the City’s land use categories and corresponding planning requirements and 
guidelines. The updated General Plan Land Use Map designates the Property as Urban Residential 
with an Evolve Growth Strategy. (See Tab B, General Plan Map). The Urban Residential placetype

Page 5 of 17 
 
contemplates a diverse mixture of uses where commercial, residential, and public/semi-public 
uses co-exist. However, the General Plan classifies the proposed minor auto repair use as 
“Convenience Services”, which is not identified as a principal or supporting use in the Urban 
Residential placetype. Accordingly, this application requests a minor General Plan amendment to 
change the Property’s placetype to Urban Center with an Evolve growth strategy. This change is 
consistent with the General Plan amendment criteria as detailed in Section F below.  
The Property is also located within the West Main Street Area Plan, the intent of which is to 
provide for transit-oriented development that contains mixed use. (See Tab C, Area Plan Map). 
However, the Property is located on the northern perimeter of the Area Plan within the 
Neighborhood Opportunity Area and is not located within the TOD Station Area or the TOD 
Corridor Area. The Property is already zoned for commercial uses and the proposed rezone will 
allow for redevelopment of a dilapidated infill site, which is consistent with the goals of the Area 
Plan.  
 
The existing zoning for the Property is Office Commercial (OC). (See Tab D, Zoning Map). This 
district is intended for small scale medical and professional offices. Given the small size of the 
parcel and the parking requirements associated with such uses, the OC district is not practical for 
the Property. Accordingly, this application requests to rezone the Property to Limited 
Commercial (LC) to accommodate the proposed use.  
 
 
D. Proposed Development   
 
The Applicant proposes development of the Property with a minor auto repair shop. The  
footprint of the building, which is existing and will be repurposed and refurbished, encompasses 
approximately 4,015 square feet. (See Tab E, Conceptual Site Plan). The building is located in the 
rear half of the property with an existing canopy (dating from the Property’s use as a gas station) 
that extends northward towards University Drive. The building features a smooth stucco surface 
and a refurbished rectilinear massing that reinforces a professional commercial appearance. The 
front (north) elevation incorporates upgraded glazing at the customer entrance and clearly 
defined pedestrian access points, giving the building a more aesthetic street presence. (See Tab 
F, Conceptual Renderings). 
 
The site design introduces organized parking areas, including striped customer stalls, accessible 
parking, and a more efficient circulation pattern for vehicle entry and exit. New landscaping, 
including shrubs, trees, decorative gravel areas, and landscape islands, softens the edges of the 
site and enhances the curb appeal while better accommodating the City’s modern landscaping 
standards. Updated screening elements, including low CMU walls and strategic plant placement, 
help buffer operational areas without obstructing visibility or compromising site functionality. 
(See Tab G, Landscape Plan).

Page 6 of 17 
 
Primary access to the site is via an entry-only driveway from University Drive. Vehicles exit the 
site to Longmore via an exit-only driveway in the southeast corner of the Property. A total of 
seven (7) parking spaces are provided with one (1) space designed for ADA compliance. A total 
of eleven (11) parking spaces are required per Mesa Zoning Ordinance (MZO) ratios. Accordingly, 
a parking reduction is requested as detailed below in Section E.  
 
E. BIZ Overlay  
 
The proposed development shall comply with the applicable MZO development standards for the 
LC district, except as modified below. The Project also meets the criteria for the requested BIZ 
Overlay by providing Superior Design per Section 11-31-32 of the MZO and addressing 
environmental performance standards as detailed below. Though limited substantially by the 
Property’s small size and two street frontages, the proposed development takes a responsive 
approach to the site and site context to significantly improve the aesthetic and functional 
qualities of the Property.  
 
Superior Design  
 
a. High-quality materials, building form, and cohesive site design 
 
The project incorporates high-quality, context appropriate materials and architectural detailing 
that create a cohesive and visually distinctive development. The existing building will be fully 
refurbished with smooth stucco finishes, upgraded glazing, and refreshed architectural detailing 
that reinforce a clean and professional commercial appearance.  
 
The design integrates public art with a desert landscape mural along the Longmore frontage, 
which adds visual interest, reinforces local character, and creates a recognizable identity for the 
corner. The mural, combined with enhanced landscaping, decorative screening walls, and 
updated architectural finishes, creates a significantly enhanced site design.  
 
b. Compatibility with character of surrounding area and creation of a sense of place 
 
The project reflects the existing development pattern along this section of University Drive, which 
consists primarily of small-scale commercial and some automotive service uses serving adjacent 
neighborhoods. The proposed improvements elevate the architectural and landscape quality of 
the site while maintaining compatibility with adjacent development. 
 
The redevelopment also incorporates design features that contribute to a unique sense of place, 
including the custom mural, enhanced street landscaping, and improved pedestrian interface 
along both street frontages.  
 
c. Site design, architecture, and landscaping features that address local climate

Page 7 of 17 
 
The site design incorporates several features that respond to the desert climate and promote 
pedestrian comfort and sustainability. The existing canopy structure, which will be retained and 
refurbished, provides shade coverage that reduces summer sun exposure for vehicles and 
pedestrians within the site. A shaded customer waiting area with seating is also provided at the 
building entrance to create a comfortable space for customers. 
 
The landscape design emphasizes low-water-use desert-adapted plant materials, including native 
trees, shrubs, and drought-tolerant ground cover that minimize irrigation demand while 
enhancing the visual quality of the site. The redevelopment also repurposes the existing building 
rather than demolishing it, reducing construction waste and supporting the City’s goals for 
adaptive reuse and sustainable infill development. 
 
d. Design features exceeding minimum ordinance standards 
 
Although several development standards are modified through the BIZ overlay due to the unique 
constraints of the property, the project nonetheless exceeds the qualitative design objectives of 
the Mesa Zoning Ordinance through significant site and architectural upgrades. The 
redevelopment introduces: 
• Substantial new landscaping and streetscape improvements along both street 
frontages 
• Decorative screening walls and landscape buffering to soften operational areas 
• Public art and architectural enhancements not required by code 
• Improved site organization and circulation compared to the existing condition 
Collectively, these elements produce a significantly higher-quality built environment than 
currently exists on the property and demonstrate the enhanced design approach contemplated 
by the BIZ overlay. 
 
e. Attractive and comfortable pedestrian environment 
 
The redevelopment significantly improves the pedestrian experience along the street frontages 
and within the site by introducing new landscaping, shade elements, pedestrian seating, and a 
visually engaging streetscape anchored by the Longmore mural. 
 
Low masonry screening walls combined with landscaping help define the street edge while 
maintaining visibility and safety. The pedestrian pathway connecting the building entrance to the 
public sidewalk provides clear and convenient access for customers arriving on foot. 
These improvements create a more attractive and comfortable environment for pedestrians, 
replacing the current underutilized and visually degraded site with a welcoming commercial 
corner. 
 
Environmental Performance Standards  
 
The project incorporates several design elements that reduce environmental impacts while 
supporting sustainable site development consistent with Section 11-21-3(B)(2) of the MZO.

Page 8 of 17 
 
a. Site Selection – Redevelopment of Economically Distressed Property 
 
The project represents the redevelopment and rehabilitation of an aging commercial property, 
originally developed as a gas station. The proposed investment revitalizes a long-standing 
commercial corner that has experienced physical deterioration and underinvestment. Through 
building refurbishment, site improvements, landscaping upgrades, and architectural 
enhancements, the project transforms a commercial property into a productive and attractive 
neighborhood-serving business, consistent with the ordinance’s encouragement of 
redevelopment and reinvestment in existing developed areas. 
 
b. Bicycle storage  
 
The site design provides safe and convenient bicycle parking located near the building entrance, 
allowing customers and employees arriving by bicycle to securely store bicycles within a short 
and direct walking distance of the building entrance. 
 
c. Restoration with native or adapted vegetation  
 
The Property is a previously developed commercial site, formerly used as a gas station and later 
as a commercial service use. The proposed redevelopment includes substantial new landscaping 
with native and desert-adapted vegetation, including trees, shrubs, and ground cover materials 
appropriate to the environment. These improvements replace existing underutilized and 
minimally landscaped areas with enhanced planting areas that soften the visual character of the 
site and create a more attractive environment for customers and pedestrians. 
 
 
BIZ OVERLAY TABLE 
LC Development Standards 
Proposed Standard 
Justification 
Parking Area Design – 
MZO Section 11-32-4(A) 
-Minimum 50’ setback for 
parking spaces along main drive 
aisles connecting directly to a 
street and drive aisles that 
cross such main drive aisles 
12’-10” 
The small scale of this site makes 
compliance with this standard 
practically infeasible. The Property 
is only 133’ by 125’ and providing 
a 50’ setback would severely limit 
the developable area. The 
proposed standard allows for 
productive use of the Property 
with an efficient parking and 
circulation plan.  
Parking Reduction –  
MZO Section 11-32-3 
- 
General Auto Repair (1/375 
sf) 
11 parking spaces required  
4 parking spaces provided (includes 1 
ADA space) 
See additional discussion below.

Page 9 of 17 
 
Parking Lot Landscape Islands 
MZO Section 11-33-4(B)  
- 
Parking lot landscape 
islands required at each end 
of a row of stalls. Minimum 
dimensions: 8’ wide and 15’ 
long 
4 landscape islands provided in 
varying sizes 
Though parking lot landscaping is 
provided with trees and shrubs, it 
is impossible to achieve the full 
landscape island dimensions per 
the MZO without severely limiting 
site circulation and functionality.  
Building/Parking Area Setback – 
MZO Section 11-6-3.A 
-Minimum 15’ (Front- North) 
-Minimum 25’ (Side adjacent RS 
- West) 
-Minimum 25’ (Rear adjacent 
RS - South) 
-Minimum 15’(Street facing 
side - east) 
 
North: 15’ to parking lot 
West: 5’-1” to parking lot 
23'-2" to building 
South: 22'-3" to building 
East: 10'-8" to building 
 
14’-6” to parking lot 
Because the existing building will 
remain and be repurposed, 
achieving the full setbacks 
required by the MZO is not 
feasible on this small infill site. The 
proposed setbacks accommodate 
the practical limitations of the site 
and enable adequate parking and 
circulation. Nevertheless, the 
proposed redevelopment will 
drastically improve the existing 
site conditions and create a more 
attractive streetscape while 
maintaining adequate buffers 
from adjacent uses.     
Landscape Setback Adjacent RS 
or RSL district– 
MZO Section 11-33-3(B)(1) 
 
- 
Minimum 20’ required  
Varies - 5’-0” to 5’-8” 
Foundation Base – 
MZO Section 11-33-5(A)(1) 
-Required 15 feet along 
exterior wall with public 
entrance 
0’ 
Given the nature of the proposed 
use, the location of the existing 
building, and the location of the 
drive aisles and pedestrian 
connections, the minimum 
foundation base required by code 
is not achievable on all elevations. 
A shaded customer waiting area 
with seating is provided at the 
building entrance and landscaping 
provided in the parking area and 
along the street frontages will 
provide an aesthetic customer 
experience.  Notably, the provided 
percentage of landscape material 
exceeds the minimum required in 
the foundation bases provided on 
the south, east, and west 
elevations. The east elevation also 
Foundation Base – 
MZO Section 11-33-5(A)(2) 
-Required 5 feet along exterior 
wall with no public entrance 
West: 4’-10” 
East: 11’2” 
South: 2’-10” 
Plant Material in Foundation 
Base – 
MZO Section 11-33-5(B)(3)(a) 
Landscape area equal in length 
to 33% of adjacent exterior wall 
visible from right of way or 
public parking area 
No landscape area provided in 
foundation base visible from right of 
way or public parking area along 
north elevation

Page 10 of 17 
 
provides an enhanced foundation 
base. 
Minimum Lot Size – Minor 
Automobile/Vehicle Service 
and Repair 
MZO Section 11-31-6 
 - Minimum 1 acre required 
0.39 acres 
The project’s scale, design, and 
operational characteristics are 
compatible with surrounding 
commercial uses and will not 
create any functional or aesthetic 
impacts that a larger site would 
otherwise mitigate. Granting this 
relief allows productive reuse of 
an existing small lot while 
advancing the City’s goals for 
reinvestment, small‐business 
support, and revitalization of older 
commercial corridors. 
Bay Door Screening  -  
MZO Section 11-30-9(F)(2) 
- 
When bay doors are less 
than 200’ from an adjacent 
street and less than 
perpendicular to street, 6’ 
screen wall required 
3’ 4” screen wall provided along 
University Drive 
Because the project is repurposing 
the existing building and 
University Drive driveway, a 6’ 
screen wall along the frontage is 
not practical without impacting 
site visibility, access, and 
circulation. The provided screen 
wall and landscaping will improve 
the current condition and ensure 
sufficient site aesthetics 
Screen Wall Setback –  
MZO Section 11-30-(H)(7) 
- 
Minimum 10’ setback 
required between screen 
wall and right of way 
0’ 
The Property’s small size and two 
street frontages make 
conformance with this standard 
impractical. The provided 
landscaping and low screen wall 
ensure adequate separation and 
drastically improves the current 
condition.  
One-Way Drive Aisle Width –   
MZO Section 11-32-2(J) 
- one way drive aisles that do 
no provide access to parking 
spaces must be at least 12-feet 
wide 
11’-9” 
The proposed minor deviation 
allows for improved site 
circulation while enabling adaptive 
reuse of the existing building.

Page 11 of 17 
 
Pedestrian Connection – 
MZO Section 11-30-8(A)  
- 
On-site walkway required 
from primary entry to 
public sidewalk on each 
street frontage  
5’ wide pedestrian walkway provided 
from public entrance to public 
sidewalk on Longmore 
With only approximately 260’ of 
street frontage, the 5’ wide 
walkway from Longmore provides 
adequate pedestrian access 
without further limiting site 
functionality.     
Parking Reduction 
  
The proposed use requires a limited number of employees on-site at any given time. Typical 
staffing levels include two to three technicians and one service manager or owner. Customer 
visitation is short in duration, staggered throughout the day, and generally limited to drop-offs 
and pick-ups rather than extended stays. Most customers leave their vehicles on-site temporarily 
for service rather than remaining parked for extended periods. Because the nature of the use 
does not generate high customer turnover or prolonged customer parking demand, the practical 
parking needs of the business are substantially lower than the typical ratios applied to higher-
intensity commercial uses. The four (4) provided spaces (including one ADA space) sufficiently 
accommodate both employees and customer turnover. 
 
The Property is also constrained, with only 0.39 net acres and two street frontages. These 
conditions severely limit where parking can be located while still maintaining safe site circulation, 
required landscape buffers, access spacing requirements, and separation between pedestrian 
and vehicle movements. Achieving the full required number of parking spaces would necessitate 
redesigning the site in a way that would compromise circulation, eliminate required landscaping, 
or create unsafe vehicular access patterns. The BIZ overlay is explicitly intended to resolve such 
site-specific constraints by allowing flexibility while still achieving safe and functional design 
outcomes. 
 
F. General Plan Amendment Criteria 
 
1. Whether the proposed amendment will result in a shortage of land or other planned uses, 
such as, whether the change will result in a substantial and undesirable reduction in the 
amount of available land for employment. 
 
The Property is already zoned for non-residential uses and the proposed General Plan 
amendment and rezone will not change that. The existing Urban Residential placetype 
contemplates a diverse mixture of uses where commercial, residential, and public/semi-public 
uses co-exist. The amendment will simply allow for a broader range of neighborhood commercial 
services available under the Urban Center placetype, including Convenience Services. The Urban 
Center placetype is prominent in the broader vicinity of the Property, most notably along Main 
Street.

Page 12 of 17 
 
 
2. Whether events after the adoption of the General Plan have changed the character or 
condition of the area, making the proposed amendment appropriate. 
 
The proposed use is compatible with the character of the area, as evidenced by similar existing 
uses in the immediate vicinity. The proposed LC zoning district and specific use were compatible 
with the Property’s General Plan character type in the 2040 General Plan, which was the General 
Plan of record when this entitlement process began. The proposed amendment will simply 
continue to permit the compatible uses.  
 
3. The degree to which the proposed amendment will impact the whole community or a portion 
of the community by:  
a. Altering acceptable existing land use patterns in a significant way that is contrary to 
the Vision, Guiding Principles, or Strategies identified in the General Plan.  
 
The proposed amendment will not significantly alter the land use patterns in the area. 
The Property is already designated for non-residential uses. However, the small size of 
the parcel makes it incompatible with the uses contemplated by its existing zoning. The 
proposed amendment will simply allow a broader range of neighborhood commercial 
uses, including “Convenience Services”. These uses are appropriate along a major arterial 
road such as University Drive.   
 
b. Requiring larger or more extensive improvements to roads, sewer, or water systems 
than are necessary to support the prevailing land uses which may negatively impact 
development of other lands.  
 
The Property is less than one half of an acre and the scope of the proposed 
development and corresponding general plan amendment will not require any 
improvements to existing infrastructure.  
 
c. Adversely impacting existing uses due to increased traffic congestion that is not 
accommodated by planned roadway improvements or other planned transportation 
improvements such as nonmotorized transportation alternatives and transit. 
 
As described above, the small scale of the Property and the proposed use will not cause 
any meaningful increases in traffic or adversely impact any existing uses.   
 
4. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with the Vision, Guiding Principles, or 
Strategies of the General Plan. 
 
The proposed amendment is consistent with the following Guiding Principles and Strategies in 
the General Plan:

Page 13 of 17 
 
Guiding Principle: Our Economy is Innovative and Prosperous 
 
Strategy ED2: Sustain a business climate that fosters entrepreneurs and small businesses.   
 
The proposed General Plan amendment directly supports Strategy ED2 by facilitating the 
operation and long-term viability of a locally owned small business. The San Antonio Tire Shop is 
owned and operated by a local business owner and provides neighborhood-serving automotive 
services and local employment within an established commercial corridor. Allowing the Property 
to transition from the Urban Residential to the Urban Center placetype ensures that this small, 
service-oriented business, operating on a uniquely constrained parcel, can remain competitive 
and continue contributing to Mesa’s economic diversity. 
 
The requested rezone and BIZ overlay enable reinvestment and revitalization of this commercial 
corner. Supporting the reinvestment of capital into site upgrades, façade improvements, and 
landscaping, the City is affirming its commitment to creating an environment where small 
businesses can modernize, operate safely, and thrive. This approach is fully consistent with the 
General Plan’s emphasis on cultivating homegrown businesses and removing barriers to 
entrepreneurial success. 
 
Guiding Principle: Our Neighborhoods are Vibrant, Diverse, and Safe Places Where Our People 
Thrive.  
 
Strategy N2: Promote adaptive reuse and infill as tools to rejuvenate and revitalize established 
neighborhoods.  
 
The Property is a small parcel with unique challenges that limit its development potential. It was 
previously developed as a gas station and later housed a commercial carpet wholesaling business. 
Rather than leaving the aging structure underutilized or pursuing demolition for speculative 
redevelopment, the Applicant proposes to repurpose, refurbish, and significantly upgrade the 
existing building and surrounding site development. 
 
The project improves the appearance, function, and compatibility of the site through enhanced 
landscaping, new screening, improved circulation, pedestrian-oriented features, and 
professional façade treatments, including a new mural on the Longmore frontage. These 
investments revitalize a long-standing commercial corner and eliminate blighted conditions while 
maintaining a scale appropriate to the surrounding residential and commercial context. The 
proposed redevelopment will provide a more attractive streetscape along University Drive.  
 
Guiding Principle: Our City Offers Integrated and Balanced Land Uses with a Variety of 
Neighborhoods and Business Opportunities  
 
Strategy LU2: Encourage inifill and redevelopment to meet the community’s strategic needs.

Page 14 of 17 
 
The Property is less than half an acre and constrained by two street frontages. Thus, it is not well 
suited for the types of residential or office uses contemplated under the Urban Residential 
placetype. Redevelopment of such a site requires flexible zoning tools to unlock its economic 
potential and accommodate physical constraints. 
The project provides a strategic infill solution by modernizing an existing commercial building, 
improving site conditions, and delivering a conveniently located, neighborhood-serving business 
along a major arterial. It also prevents the parcel from becoming underutilized or falling into 
disrepair, which is an outcome the General Plan seeks to avoid through proactive infill and 
reinvestment policies. 
 
By enabling a meaningful upgrade to an existing commercial corner without requiring additional 
infrastructure or expansion into adjacent residential areas, the amendment supports a more 
efficient land-use pattern and reinforces the City’s commitment to sustainable redevelopment.  
 
 
5. Whether the proposed amendment constitutes an overall improvement to the General Plan 
and the City of Mesa. 
 
The proposed amendment constitutes an overall improvement to the General Plan by aligning 
the Property’s placetype designation with its physical characteristics, historic use, and 
surrounding land-use context. The existing Urban Residential designation does not reflect the 
long-established commercial pattern along University Drive nor the constrained size and 
configuration of the parcel, which make it unsuitable for residential or office-centered intensities. 
Shifting the placetype to Urban Center more accurately captures the Property’s existing role as a 
neighborhood-serving commercial site and permits a realistic range of uses that can operate 
successfully on such a uniquely constrained parcel. 
 
6. The extent to which the benefits of the proposed amendment outweigh any of the impacts 
identified by these criteria. 
 
The benefits of the proposed amendment substantially outweigh any potential impacts. The 
project enables meaningful reinvestment in an aging commercial property, supports a locally 
owned business, improves streetscape aesthetics, upgrades landscaping and screening, and 
preserves an appropriate buffer between commercial activity and adjacent single-family homes. 
The proposed use is small in scale, generates minimal traffic, and is compatible with both the 
existing zoning pattern and surrounding land uses, including other commercial and auto-service 
businesses along University Drive. 
 
No public infrastructure improvements are required, and the project does not adversely impact 
traffic flow, utility capacity, or neighborhood character.

G. Adherence with Site Plan Review Criteria 
The Project has been designed to adhere to the Site Plan Review (SPR) criteria specifically 
noted in Ordinance Section 11-69-5.A as follows:    
 
A. The project is consistent with and conforms to the adopted General Plan and any 
applicable sub-area or neighborhood area plans (except no analysis of the use if it is 
permitted in the zoning district on the property), is consistent with the development 
standards of this Ordinance, and is consistent with and meets the intent of any applicable 
design guidelines. 
 
Response:  The proposed development is consistent with the requested Urban Center 
place type and the Main Street Area Plan.   The project provides a strategic infill solution 
by modernizing an existing commercial building, improving site conditions, and delivering 
a conveniently located, neighborhood-serving business along a major arterial. 
 
B. The project is consistent with all conditions of approval imposed on the property whether 
by ordinance, resolution or otherwise. 
 
Response:  The Project will comply with all conditions of approval associated with the 
requested rezone and BIZ Overlay.  
 
C. The overall design of the project, including but not limited to the site layout, architecture 
of the buildings or structures, scale, massing, exterior design, landscaping, lighting, and 
signage, will enhance the appearance and features of the site and surrounding natural 
and built environment. 
 
Response:  The project enables meaningful reinvestment in an aging commercial 
property, supports a locally owned business, improves streetscape aesthetics, upgrades 
landscaping and screening, and preserves an appropriate buffer between commercial 
activity and adjacent single-family homes. 
 
D. The site plan is appropriate to the function of the project and will provide a suitable 
environment for occupants, visitors, and the general community. 
 
Response:  The site plan vastly improves the existing appearance and functionality of the 
Property. The site design is appropriate for the proposed use and will provide a quality 
environment for customers and employees.  
 
E. Project details, colors, materials, and landscaping are internally consistent, fully 
integrated with one another, and used in a manner that is visually consistent with the 
proposed architectural design.

Page 16 of 17 
 
Response:  The Project provides details, colors, materials, and landscaping that are 
internally consistent and integrated in a manner visually consistent with the architectural 
design, creating a cohesive aesthetic throughout. 
 
F. The project is compatible with neighboring development by avoiding big differences in 
building scale and character between developments on adjoining lots in the same zoning 
district and providing a harmonious transition in scale and character between different 
districts. 
 
Response:  The project maintains appropriate scale at this commercial corner in a manner 
compatible with the existing commercial development along University Drive. It also 
maintains a scale appropriate to the surrounding residential to the south and east.  
 
G. The project contributes to the creation of a visually interesting built environment that 
includes a variety of building styles and designs with well-articulated structures that 
present well designed building facades, rooflines, and building heights within a unifying 
context that encourages increased pedestrian activity and promotes compatibility among 
neighboring land uses within the same or different districts. 
 
Response:  The project improves the appearance, function, and compatibility of the site 
through improved landscaping, new screening, improved circulation, pedestrian-oriented 
features, and professional façade treatments, including a new mural on the Longmore 
frontage. These investments revitalize a long-standing commercial corner and eliminate 
blighted conditions while maintaining a scale appropriate to the surrounding residential 
and commercial context. The proposed redevelopment will provide a more attractive 
streetscape along University Drive. 
 
H. The streetscapes, including street trees, lighting, and pedestrian furniture, are consistent 
with the character of activity centers, commercial districts, and nearby residential 
neighborhoods. 
 
Response:  Street trees, lighting, and pedestrian amenities will be incorporated as part of 
the project’s frontage improvements to create a cohesive and attractive streetscape. 
These elements will complement existing features along University Drive and enhance the 
pedestrian experience for nearby residents and businesses. Together, these 
enhancements ensure the project’s streetscape is consistent with the visual and 
functional quality of the development.  
 
I. Street frontages are attractive and interesting for pedestrians and provide for greater 
safety by allowing for surveillance of the street by people inside buildings and elsewhere. 
 
Response:  The proposed redevelopment will provide a more attractive streetscape along 
both University Drive and Longmore. Improved landscaping and site design, including the

Page 17 of 17 
 
installation of a new mural along Longmore, will create more interesting pedestrian 
experience.  
 
J. The proposed landscaping plan is suitable for the type of project and site conditions and 
will improve the appearance of the community by enhancing the building and site design; 
and the landscape plan incorporates plant materials that are drought-tolerant, will 
minimize water usage, and are compatible with Mesa's climate. 
 
Response:  The landscape design features native desert plants and appropriate trees, 
shrubs, and ground cover materials to accentuate the natural environment. The plants 
require minimal irrigation beyond establishment, and as native varieties should thrive 
with naturally occurring rainfall. Parking areas are screened with patterned masonry walls 
and landscape trees and shrubs. 
 
 
H. Summary 
This proposed rezone and BIZ Overlay represents an opportunity for reinvestment in a 
challenging property, transforming a dilapidated and underutilized site into a productive small-
business operation. By activating the parcel with a locally owned service use, the project supports 
Mesa’s small-business economy and adds skilled employment opportunities to the area. The 
redevelopment will revitalize the Property with a clean, functional design that enhances curb 
appeal and the character of this corridor.
