RE:  
Cooper’s Hawk Winery and Restaurant 
3325 W. Chandler Blvd.  
Chandler, AZ 85226 
 
This letter is requesting a business license for a new freestanding full service restaurant and 
winery at an outlot within The Boulevard Shops at Chandler Fashion Center at 3325 W. 
Chandler Blvd.  The site is zoned as a Planned Development within the C-3 Regional 
Commercial District allowing restaurants with full service alcohol beverage licenses and patios 
as a by right use.  The project was reviewed and approved in a Site Development Plan Review 
as well as an ADR Board Review. 
 
The project consists of a 11,555 square foot, single story building and an exterior patio of 1,196 
square feet.  The architectural concept of the Cooper’s Hawk was inspired by the casual and 
rustic elegance of Napa Valley and the natural Arizona landscape and southwest motifs.  
Modern and clean lines and natural materials are wrapped around all 4 sides of the building.  A 
large expansive covered patio draws patrons in and is protected by a low wall planter 
constructed with porcelain tile which also is an accent material used elsewhere on the building.   
Existing site landscaping was maintained and new landscaping integrated into it to make a 
cohesive design with the rest of the development and the new building.  This helped to tie the 
natural materials of the building with the local landscape. A large parking field with ample 
parking for the Cooper’s Hawk and other businesses is adjacent to the site which includes ADA 
accessible spaces near the Cooper’s Hawk entry.  
  
 
The Cooper’s Hawk will employ 150 full time employees and 50 part time employees. The 
proposed hours of operation is Monday thru Sunday, 11:00 am to 9:00 pm. 
 
If there are any questions or comments regarding the information provided please contact our 
office.
