QUIKTRIP 
I. 
INTRODUCTION AND REQUEST 
 
QuikTrip Corporation (“QT”) is seeking to develop approximately 2.51 net (3.82 gross) 
acres located at the northwest corner of Ray Road and Dobson Road (APN 302-80-948) (the 
“Site”) in Chandler (the “City”). See Aerial attached as Exhibit 1. QT requests Rezoning and 
Preliminary Development Plan Review approval to allow the development of the Site as a new 
QT Convenience Store and Gas Station (“QT Store”) on this underutilized Site. This QT Store 
will serve a variety of freshly made foods and drinks from a “full-service counter.” Customers 
can choose from a large variety of food items including ice cream cones, pizza, warm pretzels, 
toasted sandwiches—and now full sub sandwiches. Specialty coffee drinks, espressos, shakes, 
smoothies, and more will be offered. QT is excited about the prospect of this new QT Store that 
will bring jobs and necessary goods and services to the area. The QT Store will be open 24 hours 
a day, 7 days a week. This location is anticipated to employ dozens of workers. The number of 
staff present at any one time will vary, but QT anticipates staffing the store with 2-6 employees 
at a time. 
QT requests Preliminary Development Plan (“PDP”) approval and that the Site be zoned 
from the existing Planned Area Development (“PAD”) Commercial to PAD with the added 
permitted use of a gas station. As is described below, the proposal is consistent with the General 
Plan and the surrounding area and will be an asset to the City while making good use of this 
infill, redevelopment Site. 
II. 
SITE, SURROUNDING AREA, AND EXISTING ZONING 
 
 
The Site has previously been utilized as an Osco Store and is zoned PAD Commercial 
(allowing C-2 uses) and designated as “Neighborhoods” on the General Plan. The current zoning 
allows a variety of commercial uses including “drive-in, drive-up, and all fast-turnover 
establishments… convenience markets and similar uses.” While this rezone is required to allow 
fueling, this QT Store is largely fitting with the current zoning designation. Further, the 
“Neighborhoods” designation allows “a variety of non-residential uses such as commercial, 
institutional, public facilities, and commercial offices.” QT’s proposed neighborhood-oriented 
use is suitable for the area and compatible with the surrounding uses. Surrounding uses and 
designations are as followed: 
• North: a parking lot associated with the adjacent preparatory school zoned 
AG-1 
• East: commercial uses including fast food, a bank, and Fry’s (across Dobson 
Road) zoned PAD 
• South: Single-family homes (across Ray Road) zoned PAD 
• West: A tutoring and childcare facility zoned PAD 
The proposed development complies with the General Plan and is supported by the 
following goals and policies of the General Plan:

2 
• 1.5 Building a World-Class Economy: Improve the City’s jobs-to-housing 
ratio with a long-term goal to continue exceeding the county’s average jobs-
to-housing balance. 
• 1.5 Building a World-Class Economy: Continue to encourage and facilitate 
the development or reuse of vacant or deteriorating commercial properties. 
• 1.1.1 Land Use and Development: Encourage compatible infill projects. 
• 1.1.1 Land Use and Development: Emphasize developing a balance of land 
uses that support community building and a healthy lifestyle while ensuring a 
positive overall community benefit. 
This infill, redevelopment proposal will provide jobs and valuable goods and services in 
an appropriate location that will benefit the community. A QT Store is fitting for this intersection 
and mixed-use area and will make good use of the Site. See Preliminary Site Plan attached as 
Exhibit 2. 
 
III. 
PROPOSED PLANNED AREA DEVELOPMENT 
 
This PAD shall conform with all C-2 standards, uses, and other regulations unless stated 
otherwise herein. 
 
A. 
Permitted Uses 
The permitted land uses on the Site shall be as follows:  
1. 
The permitted uses and uses permitted with a Use Permit listed under the City’s 
C-2 Zoning District 
2. 
Gas station/fuel station and convenience market 
 
B. 
Development Standards  
The Development Standards for the Site shall be C-2 Zoning District Standards.  
 
C. 
Signage 
The signage for the Site shall be in conformance with the signage exhibits included in 
this submittal. (See Exhibit 3). Signage will include a monument sign along both Dobson Road 
and Ray Road. Further, there is a “QuikTrip” sign and button signs on the front of the building, 
as well as button signs on the fuel station canopies. 
IV. 
PROPOSED PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN 
 
A. 
Site Layout and Architecture 
QT’s proposed development is designed as a quality and attractive commercial 
development that will create employment opportunities and will be in harmony with the area. 
The proposed architectural design is fitting with southwest architecture and reflects a design that 
is respectful of the Arizona desert climate. See elevations attached as Exhibit 4. The size and 
scale of the building and fuel canopy are broken up through well-planned design and the use of a 
variety of materials. The Site is planned to consist of an approximately 5,312-square-foot store

3 
and an approximately 7,287-square-foot fuel canopy for a total lot coverage of approximately 
12,598.5 square feet (11.5% of the Site). The store will be approximately 20 feet in height and 
features a variety of colors and materials to create visual interest. The store predominately 
features stucco and stone in neutral shades—as opposed to corporate colors—to fit in with the 
area. The stucco is “tan” color with contrasting accent bands of “midnight black brick”. 
Additionally, the façade features stacked stone accents in “Sonoma” color to provide additional 
variation. Se Exhibit 5, Color and Materials Board. The large windows (shaded with an awning 
to reduce heat gain) with aluminum framing add further visual interest. The fuel canopy is 
proposed to have a height of approximately 17 feet. The fuel canopy has been designed to 
complement the design of the store and contains the same brick and metal elements as the store 
building to create a sense of harmony and cohesiveness on the Site. The canopy will allow for 
double stacking in order to serve up to 16 automobiles at one time. 
B. 
Landscaping 
The overall landscape theme incorporates low water use, and regionally appropriate plant 
material that is suitable for the Sonoran Desert to create an attractive presence. The design and 
materials create a sense of place within the Site, while adding a fresh approach to a timeless 
desert environment for the surrounding communities. In addition to the landscaping QT is 
proposing, the Site has a large amount of existing landscaping that will remain in place. 
Specifically, the street frontages of Ray Road and Dobson Road feature 50+ feet of landscape 
area to create an attractive frontage for customers and passers-by. Landscape islands are 
provided to break up rows of parking spaces, reduce heat island effect, and provide shading. 
Around the store, planters will be used to tie into other landscaping and enhance overall design. 
This proposed QT will be amply and attractively landscaped and will meet all City landscaping 
requirements. See Exhibit 6, Preliminary Landscape Plan and Rendered Landscape Plan. 
C. 
Parking and Circulation  
Efficient site layout and ample parking are important to QT to enhance the customer 
experience. QT has provided multiple “front doors” to provide up-front parking for all 
customers. Fifty parking spaces are provided, where only 30 are required. The Site has 
convenient access on both Dobson Road and Ray Road to promote efficient circulation.  
 
V. 
CONCLUSION 
 
QT’s proposed development will be high-quality and suable for the area while providing, 
jobs, tax dollars, and necessary goods and services. QT looks forward to the opportunity to 
further invest in Chandler. We request your approval.
