Review and Recommendation

Planning staff finds the proposal is consistent with the General Plan designation of
Transitional Employment Corridor which allows residential to be considered when
determining compatibility with existing and future surrounding uses. The site is
located between two single-family residential subdivisions, Paseo Lindo to the south
and La Costera, to the north. The narrow, elongated rectangular site does not lend
itself to function as either employment or commercial uses which may negatively

Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes
June 2, 2021 - Page 4

impact existing residential. The site is approximately one quarter mile north of the
Paseo Lindo commercial center, and approximately one-half mile north of larger
commercial centers located on the south side of Ocotillo Road which currently
provide sufficient commercial/retail uses in the proximate area. For these reasons,
staff supports the area plan amendment from Commercial/Office/Business Park to
High Density Residential (HDR 12.1-18 DU/ACRE) land use.

The proposed multi-family residential development is a compatible land use on an
infill site that creates a transition between single family developments and provides
another housing type to the surrounding area. For these reasons, staff finds the
proposal to be consistent with the goals of the General Plan and the CAAP, as
amended, and recommends approval subject to conditions.

Economic Analysis
An economic and fiscal impact analysis was conducted based on project details

provided by the applicant and staff assumptions. The analysis determined the project
will generate a positive net fiscal impact for the City. Net income to the City resulting
from the project is estimated at approximately $438,566 over 10 years. This includes
revenues from property taxes, building permit and plan review fees, transaction
privilege tax on construction, real property rental tax, state shared revenues, and
local spending by residents. For the analysis, it was assumed the developer will lease
the townhomes.

Airport Commission Conflict Evaluation
Airport Commission meeting held on April 14, 2021
Motion to find a conflict with existing or planned airport operations.

In Favor:5 Opposed: 1 (Bozelli)

The Airport Commission reviewed the request in accordance with the Airport Conflicts
Evaluation Process. The Airport Manager has issued a conflicts evaluation report
indicating that the Airport Commission determined that the proposed development
does constitute a conflict with existing or planned airport uses. A copy of the Airport
Planning Administrator's report detailing the Airport Commission's findings is
attached to this memo. The Airport Commission's recommended mitigation
measures to address the operational conflict are included as stipulations of the

rezoning.

Public / Neighborhood Outreach
e This request was noticed in accordance with the requirements of the Chandler

Zoning Code.
e Aneighborhood meeting sign was posted on the site and on social media via

NextDoor.

Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes
June 2, 2021 - Page 5

e Virtual neighborhood meetings were held on August 3, 2020 with three residents
in attendance and on March 16, 2021 with 16 residents attending, including
Council members Ellis and Harris. Comments and questions related to the
landscape buffer between Paseo Lindo homes, balconies and privacy to their back
yards, and the amenity area. The applicant responded there is a green belt on the
Paseo Lindo side providing a buffer as well as landscape on the south side of the
pool amenity. Proposed balconies are adjacent to the master bedrooms.

e As of writing this memo, Planning staff is not aware of opposition to the request.

Review and Recommendation

Planning staff has reviewed the request and supports the proposal citing consistency
with the General Plan, Chandler Airpark Area Plan (CAAP), and the approved PAD
zoning for CABP Phase 2. The two proposed flex industrial buildings allow for a mix
of uses including manufacturing, research and development, and office. Generally
ancillary uses such as office and retail showroom are limited to occupy ten percent of

Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes
June 2, 2021 - Page 12

a building within industrial development unless noted; the proposal requests up to
20 percent office and/or retail showroom accordingly to comply with available
parking.

The request was reviewed for compliance with the design standards established
within the CABP guidelines including landscaping and signage. The alignment of the
two buildings internalize the dock doors and screening of the rear facades. An eight
(8) foot wall will be provided between buildings to further screen the rear courts. The
development doubled the amount of landscaping and building setback required
along Gilbert Road to further buffer from Gilbert Road and residential east of Gilbert
Road. A mix of material including glazed glass, metal panels, awnings, steel columns,
and form liners are used to enhance the tilt-up walls. The color scheme of earth tones
is proposed to be consistent with the CABP guidelines established in 2006. Under
Phase 1, all landscaping will be installed along all property lines and at the intersection
of Gilbert Road and Insight Way a center identification sign will be constructed. Phase
2 will consist of either two additional flex industrial buildings or an office building
depending on market demand and will be reviewed administratively by staff for
consistency with the approved architectural design.

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