Commission and Staff met in open study session to discuss items on the agenda,
items A, B, and C are on consent.

*a. PLH20-0063/PLT21-0008 MCKINLEY GLENN

Request Rezoning from Agricultural District (AG-1) to Planned Area Development
(PAD) for single-family residential, Preliminary Development Plan approval for
subdivision layout, and Preliminary Plat approval for a 22-lot subdivision on
approximately 9 acres located east of the southeast corner of Chandler Heights and
Cooper roads.

Background
e Approximately 9 net acres

e Subject site is unincorporated and undeveloped

e Upon annexation, initial city zoning will be AG-1

e General Plan designates the site as Neighborhoods

e Southeast Chandler Area Plan (SECAP) designates the site as Rural/Agrarian
permitting densities up to 2.5 units per acre (du/ac)

e Project consist of 22 lots totaling 2.4 du/ac

Surrounding Land Use Data

# of Lots 22 single family lots
Density 2.4 dwelling units per acre
Building Setbacks (min.) Front - 10 ft. to livable, 20 ft. to garage

Lot Coverage (max.) 50 percent
Building Height (max.) All homes one-story; 25 ft. to midpoint of peak
Housing Product Reviewed under separate PDP application
Guest Parking Spaces On-street parking provided on one side of each private
street; approximately 59 on-street parking spaces
Amenities Community ramada with seating and built-in cornhole;

passive turf open space adjacent to seating area

Review and Recommendation

Planning staff finds the proposal is consistent with the General Plan and more
specifically consistent with the Southeast Chandler Area Plan (SECAP). The SECAP
was established to maintain low densities, large lots, and provide a rural agrarian
theme preserving the history of southeast Chandler. Residential densities up to 2.5
dwelling units per acre are permitted and additional densities up to 3.5 can be
considered with additional enhancements to subdivisions. The proposed
subdivision is 2.4 du/ac and provides a minimum of 10,000 square foot lots, which is
comparable to the Chandler subdivision to the east and a good transition to the
rural residential lots within Maricopa county to the south and west. Consideration
has been given to provide larger side yard setbacks on two lots siding up to adjacent
residential lots to further énsire “compatibility between the proposal and

surrounding land uses.

Housing product will be reviewed under a separate PDP. The proposed PDP is for
subdivision layout. The proposed subdivision is gated and the streets are private,
however, parking is provided on one side of each street: the subdivision provides for
59 on-street parking spaces for residents and guests. Future housing product will

Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes
April 21, 2021 - Page 4

include a two-car garage and driveways to accommodate two additional vehicles. A
centralized amenity is provided for the community with sidewalks on both sides of
the private street system. The proposed subdivision will have full access at the entry
along Chandler Heights Road.

Staff finds the proposal to be consistent with the goals of the General Plan and the
SECAP, and recommends approval subject to conditions.

Public/Neighborhood Outreach

e This request was noticed in accordance with the requirements of the Chandler
Land Use and Zoning Code.

e To comply with CDC social distancing guidelines, the applicant hosted a digital
neighborhood meeting via Zoom on January 12, 2021. Eight (8) households
attended the virtual meeting and had general questions about the proposal,
access to the proposed subdivision, and proposed price of homes with
anticipated construction timelines. No opposition was expressed.

e As of writing this memo, Planning staff has received one phone call from a
resident from the eastern subdivision Hawthorn Manor, whose home is three
lots south of the proposal. The resident expressed concerns about setting a
precedence for future development of the large unincorporated properties
south of the proposal. The resident thought the proposed setbacks should be
larger; staff pointed out that the proposed rear yard setbacks are five (5) feet
larger than Hawthorn Manor and the side yard setbacks are similar. The resident
also stated a side yard should not abut a rear yard and only back yards should
face existing rear yards. Planning staff has reviewed the concern, one proposed
lot is immediately adjacent to Hawthorn Manner and the proposed lot has an
increased side yard setback of fifteen (15) feet to increase the distance of future
home to existing rear yards. Furthermore, a letter of support from one of the
two lots abutting the lot in question is attached as an exhibit.

Review and Recommendation

Staff finds the proposed area plan amendment, rezoning, and mid-rise overlay
proposed for the overall site as well as the preliminary development plan for the
southern portion of the site, “Lot 1,” align with the goals of the General Plan.

The General Plan identifies the site as being located with Growth Area 5, where
medical and regional commercial land uses are guided for as well as a mixture of
supporting land uses such as nursing homes and a variety of residential densities.

Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes
April 21, 2021 - Page 10

The northern portion of this site, “Lot 2,” will be rezoned for medical land uses.
Other commercial and office land uses will also be permitted on Lot 2; however,
staff has included stipulations to ensure that retail or non-medical-related
commercial uses may only be provided as accessory land uses. A future Preliminary
Development Plan (PDP) will need to be approved by Council prior to development
of Lot 2.

The applicant is proposing age-restricted active adult dwelling units for “Lot 1” on
the southern portion of the overall site. For that reason, stipulation number 9 is
proposed to be added to the PAD zoning restricting residents to age 55 and older.
The development booklet and PDP identify amenities and services that support
active-adult residents, such as over 30 resident activities a month, a covered porte-
cochere entrance, pickle ball court, and a community garden.

Public/Neighborhood Outreach

e This request was noticed in accordance with the requirements of the Chandler
Land Use and Zoning Code.

neighborhood meetings via Zoom on February 11, and March 18, 2021.

general questions were received. No comments of oppositions were received.

e As of writing this memo, Planning staff has received one further phone call from
a resident inquiring about the proposed units as he was interested in them for
his family member.

The subject property is located east of the southeast corner of Germann and

Cooper roads.

Proposed Development

Building Square Footage 201,221 Square-feet
Building Height Maximum 45 feet; Provided 45 feet
Parking Spaces Required 156 spaces
Parking Spaces Provided 317 spaces; allowing for approximately 25,260
square-feet of office

Review and Recommendation
Planning staff has reviewed the request finding consistency with the General Plan

and Planned Area Development (PAD) zoning. The proposed flex industrial building
allows for a mix of uses including light manufacturing and warehouse storage with
supporting office component. Generally, ancillary uses such as office are limited to
occupy ten percent of a building within industrial development unless noted; in this
case the proposal requests up to 25,260 square-feet of office (12.6%) accordingly to
comply with available parking. Proposed uses and development will be subject to
compliance with Chandler Airport Center PAD zoning (ordinances 3673 and 4184).

The proposed industrial shell building will be approximately 201,221 square-feet.
The building will be constructed of tilt-up concrete and painted in a rich, desert-
based palette of warm and cool greys combined with warn-tone neutrals. The steel
entry canopies create signature entries for tenants and will be accented with a dark
cooper-colored finish. They will also provide shade, shadow and visual interest,
which will assist in breaking up the building facade.

Staff finds the proposal to be consistent with the goals of the General Plan, CAAP,
and CAC thus recommending Planning and Zoning Commission recommend

approval.
