INTRODUCTION Meridian West AZ/202, LLC (“Meridian West”) is the owner of The District Downtown, an exciting mixed-use development on approximately 49.30± gross (44.73± net) acres (the “Site”) at the northwest corner of Arizona Avenue and the Loop 202 Freeway. See Exhibit 1, Aerial & Vicinity Map. The District Downtown will be a high-quality, dynamic mixed-used development containing a mix of office, commercial, and multi-family uses. The design, layout, and theming create a high-quality development that will be a recognizable presence and strong, viable development for the City of Chandler (the “City”) given its location proximate to the Loop 202, the Price Road Corridor, and Chandler Airport. The District Downtown creates shopping and employment opportunities in the immediate area and is anticipated to improve the City’s jobs-to- population ratio while at the same time provide much needed housing to the City and immediate area. To achieve this, Meridian West seeks rezone the Site to Planned Area Development (PAD) and Preliminary Development Plan (PDP) approval. II. SITE, SURROUNDING AREA, AND EXISTING ZONING The Site is designated on the City’s General Plan as Neighborhoods and lies within the Downtown Chandler Growth Area. Within the Neighborhood designation, mixed-use development containing residential, commercial, and/or office can be considered at the intersection of major arterials, freeway interchanges with arterial streets, commercial areas, Downtown, and high-capacity transit corridors. Urban residential exceeding 18 du/ac. can be considered in Downtown, in regional commercial areas, and within designated high-capacity transit corridors. The Site is zoned PAD Mixed-Use for a range of uses including commercial, office, and multi- family residential. Arizona Avenue is designated as a High-Capacity Transit Corridor. High-capacity transit corridors are appropriate locations for the development of high-intensity, mixed-land uses. Such developments would create opportunities for living within walking distance of schools, stores, and restaurants. For some people this means less travel time, cost savings and convenience, and better quality of life. The Downtown Chandler Growth Area includes the historic Downtown square and extends south to the Loop 202. This Growth Area encourages a vibrant live, work, and play atmosphere. It additionally encourages developing the Growth Area with higher densities, mixed-uses, and transit-oriented development. The proposed high-quality, mixed-used development is consistent with the General Plan, High-Capacity Transit Corridor, and the Downtown Chandler Growth Area. III. PROPOSED PLANNED AREA DEVELOPMENT Meridian West requests the Site be rezoned from PAD Mixed-Use to PAD Mixed-Use for a range of uses including commercial (Any use or similar use in the C-2 District of the City’s Zoning Ordinance, including automobile and truck sales); office (professional, business, administrative, executive, and other offices); and multi-family residential. IV. PROPOSED PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN A. Site Layout The District Downtown is designed as a high-quality, mixed-use development that will create vital employment, retail, and housing opportunities at the gateway to Downtown Chandler, 2 adjacent to major transportation corridors (Arizona Avenue/State Route 87 and the Loop 202), and near the City’s primary employment areas (Price Road Corridor and the Chandler Airpark). See Exhibit 2, Conceptual Site Plan. The District Downtown is organized around a uniform street network which connects to a centralized main street that terminates at a central park and open space area, then continues throughout the Site in an appropriate manner that provides clear, distinctive routes for both vehicles and pedestrians to the planned uses. The centralized main street links to Arizona Avenue which compresses as it enters the Site to slow traffic down and create a pedestrian friendly environment. Thoughtfully planned pedestrian experiences are placed throughout the site using organic and structural shade elements. This provides opportunities for shaded seating, where enhanced decorative paving and patterned landscape invite patrons, residents, or employees to enjoy the urban environment. Pedestrian connections are planned between the different uses through defined paths, further emphasizing the mixed-use nature of the development. Unique to the development is an open space/park area near the west end of the main street, near the commercial retail uses. This area may contain design elements and features such as a shaded seating, urban street furniture, patterned landscape, and decorative lighting to attract individuals, couples, and families to the development. Commercial uses are conveniently located on the eastern most portion of the Site with additional access points provided along Pecos Road. Retail commercial buildings are planned to be oriented along the central main street as well as Arizona Avenue, locating the majority of the parking internal to the Site. In the south-central portion of the site, hotel uses are planned. This use is located near the freeway corridor for higher visibility and scale. Two, 2-story offices are planned along Pecos Road, with an additional multi-family parcel centrally located on the Site, south of the offices. The intentional layout allows for transitions in land use from the west to the east. Specific details on proposed development, uses, etc. are found in Exhibit 2. This PDP depicts the general layout (“Site Plan”), general appearance (“Elevations”), and theming (“Theming”) of The District Downtown, but it does not restrict uses or buildings to the building locations or square footages as depicted on the Site Plan or appearance as depicted by the Elevations or Theming. Adjustments in Site Plan configuration to accommodate change in uses, alternative building design or geometry, layout of buildings within the Site, pedestrian and vehicular circulation within the Site, parking or other Site specific criteria as well as, adjustments in buildings floor area, and changes in the building architecture and theming will be allowed as long as each final building or buildings and individual lots and theming within the Site: (1) meets the general intent of the proposed Site Plan; (2) meets the level of quality and finish represented in the proposed building elevations of the Elevations and Theming; (3) comply with the below Design Guidelines; (4) use the colors and materials identified on the Color and Materials Palette or use compatible colors and materials as identified on the Color and Materials Palette; (5) provide code required parking stalls or demonstrate conformance with the City’s shared parking requirements; and (6) meet building setbacks as required by the City’s Zoning Ordinance or as otherwise identified in this PAD. Actual building footprints, layout within a lot or lots’ developable area, and theming shall be determined administratively through the Administrative Design Review approval processes. Notwithstanding the preceding, a separate Preliminary Development Plan must be submitted and approved by the City Council for the proposed multi-family development on Parcel 4 as shown on Exhibit 2, Conceptual Site Plan. 3 B. Architecture Non-Residential The overall theme of the non-residential buildings is an interpretation of a modern southwest look. See Exhibit 3, Non-Residential Building Perspective. The buildings incorporate large overhangs for sun screening and to create shaded areas for pedestrians and occupants. The 2-story office buildings feature roof top decks with shaded outdoor areas. Landscape boxes are utilized to drape planting materials over the building façade at the balcony locations and at the upper pedestrian walkway connecting the two buildings. A significant amount of glass and steel is utilized in the building facades to give a modern tech look while still maintaining a design theme consistent with surrounding structures. The commercial/retail buildings are designed to be pedestrian friendly with seating areas and shading for protection from the direct sun. Certain elements from the site sign design package are utilized and incorporated into the building design as well. This can be seen in areas such as the exterior column details on the office and commercial buildings. This helps to create a cohesive and comprehensive overall development plan. Building materials are similar and consistent. Window sizes reflect a more appropriate sizing for the intended use and incorporate overhangs for sun screening. Building materials include natural stone, composite metal panels, Hardie panels and EIFS where appropriate, and a generous use of glass and aluminum storefront windows on the commercial buildings and curtain walls on the office buildings. Colors range from light and dark earth tones to incorporate the surrounding Sonoran Desert background, to modern metallic blues and greys to signify a new state-of-the -art development. See Exhibit 5, Color & Materials Palette. Residential The building architecture is anticipated to include varied massing, varying roof parapets, architectural features, stoops, materials, and façade detailing found in many modern, contemporary luxury multi‐family developments found in the Phoenix Metro-area and Southwest region. See Exhibit 4, Multi-Family Residential Concept. The building massing includes a series of towers and recessed facades and patios. The massing and detailing emphasize the promotion of pedestrian activity via lighting, trees, and shade structures (such as awnings and roof overhangs). The color scheme is a blend of shades of brown, white, and tan with some complementary accent colors found within the Sonoran Desert color palette and is consistent and appropriate with the surrounding building context. Architectural Design Guidelines To ensure the future building elevations are designed consistent with the expectations set forth in the PDP, Meridian West proposes the following design guidelines. These design guidelines are intended to create a cohesive, attractive, and appropriate architectural statement. The guidelines provided in this document are not absolute, but are general statements aimed at setting forth the design expectations: • All building elevations should maintain the same visual integrity, cohesiveness, and design detail. • All building elevations should consider the use of multiple heights, wall planes, masses, and exterior materials along with natural elements, and complementary colors and texture to other building elevations within the Site. • All building elevations should incorporate elements of the building elevations approved in this PDP. Where building elevations may expand in scale, simple relief may be used by including various architectural features such as an EIFS relief, a wainscot system, change in material or color on the surface that will be expanded 4 (where one building plane meets another, a change in material or color will add interest). • Building elevations should be designed to respond to the harsh southwest climate and oriented to recognize the value of appropriate landscaping and cooling requirements in harmony with the environment. • Human scale massing and proportions should complement the building elevation function and the design should be harmonious with adjoining developments. • Canopies, arcades, and overhangs should be designed to create places of refuge for pedestrians and to create interest within the building design. • Landscape buffers will be designed for the street edges and to emphasize the points of entry into the development. • Identify internal crosswalks with changes in paving materials, signs, or paint striping. The design of the future building elevations and theming may be administratively approved by Staff upon a finding that the proposed building elevations and theming are substantially consistent with the Non-Residential Building Perspectives (Exhibit 3), Multi-Family Residential Concept (Exhibit 4), and these Architectural Design Guidelines. C. Landscaping Theme and Design Considerations The overall landscape theme incorporates low water use, regionally appropriate plant material that is suitable for the Sonoran Desert to create an attractive experience for those who work, shop, and live at The District Downtown as well as those travelling along the Loop 202, Arizona Avenue, and Pecos Road. The landscaping theme draws from urban forms aimed to complement the scale and texture of the buildings. See Exhibit 6, Landscape & Open Space Character. The design is intended to include striking patterns and layering of plant material at entries and pedestrian spaces to emphasize key pedestrian and vehicular routes. Trees will be placed along the streets in formal patterns to provided much needed shade on sidewalks to create a unique aesthetic with contrasting canopies and understory planting. The overall cohesive design will establish The District Downtown as a destination within the south downtown area of Chandler. All of the plant species proposed adhere to the Arizona Department of Water Resources, “Low Water Use Plant List” in order to incorporate native and hybrid arid region vegetation into the landscape. See Exhibit 7, Conceptual Master Plan – Plant Palette. All of the landscape within the boundary of the Site will be watered on an automatic drip irrigation system. D. Entry Monumentation and Screening Entry monumentation and signage for the Site will be designed to complement the overall building architecture. Scale, both horizontal and vertical, will be used, where appropriate, to emphasize primary access points and landmark features. Colors and materials proposed will highlight the quality and level of finish of the building elevations. Proper screening of the parking areas will be accomplished through earthen berms and decorative walls that have been designed to complement the building and utilizing varying colors and textures arranged in an attractive design. E. Development Standards Meridian West is proposing the following development standards: 5 Regulation Development Standard Building Height (max.) 120 ft., inclusive of parapet walls, mechanical equipment, and screening Building Setback (min.) - Front (Arizona Ave.) - Side (Pecos Rd.) - Side (Loop 202) - Rear (west) 30 ft. 30 ft. 10 ft. 20 ft. Landscape Setback (min.) - Front (Arizona Ave.) - Side (Pecos Rd.) - Side (Loop 202) - Rear (west) 20 ft. 20 ft. 10 ft. 20 ft. Lot Coverage1 (max.) 60 % Residential Density1 Parcel 4 – 67 du/ac Parcel 5 – 33 du/ac Perimeter Parking Screen Wall Height 3 ft. F. Multi-Family Design Standards The City’s Zoning Ordinance sets forth additional requirements for multi-family development to encourage creative and innovative design techniques, quality, and merit. The District Downtown provides the following: 1. Open Space The requirements for common and private open space are based on traditional suburban development and do not consider developing in an urban-like setting. Great care has been taken to ensure the usable common open space far exceeds what the City’s Code would otherwise require. The anticipated amenities throughout the development and within the common open spaces in this urban-like setting provide better opportunities for residents and guests to interact with each other. Usable common open space and recreation area at the rate of 125 square feet per bedroom at a minimum width of 12 feet shall be provided. Private open space shall be a minimum of 4 feet in diameter for patios and balconies. This area will be an average of 4’x12’ for a total of 48 sq. ft. per patio/balcony. 2. Site Circulation and Parking Safe and convenient pedestrian circulation to and from parking lots throughout the development must provided. Code-required parking spaces and ADA van accessible spaces shall provided. Parking canopy covers must be architecturally integrated with the surrounding structures, i.e., color, materials, location, and 10-inch minimum fascia (all four sides). 3. Amenity Options Six amenities are required to be provided in accordance with the following schedule: 260 units or larger. Because of the urban, in-fill nature of the Site and proposed community, the amount and quality of amenities shall strive to satisfy the spirit and intent of needing to provide a second pool, ramada, etc. 4. Interface with Single-Family Areas 1 Calculated on the overall Site and not on an individual parcel. 6 There are no single-family areas adjacent to the Site. 5. Specific design attention areas The design of courtyards and pedestrian areas must relate to the “human scale.” Large unvaried building facades shall be avoided. Common open spaces, rather than parking lots, shall be used as central features. 6. Energy conservation The residential development shall provide shading for the buildings through overhangs and/or trees and shade trees along drives, building perimeters, and where appropriate. Additional building shading may be provided through the use of inset patios and balconies, metal canopies to shade windows, and the use of landscaping. 7. Landscaping The amount of landscaping shall be of sufficient intensity to create a pleasant and comfortable living environment. Special attention shall be given to the areas that are highly visible to the public to create an upscale landscape experience. 8. Building Standards Mechanical equipment shall be fully screened through the use of parapet walls on the building elevations. 9. Lighting Lighting will comply with the City’s Zoning Code. External lighting will be appropriately located and designed to prevent light from spilling onto adjacent properties. 10. Signage See the discussion in Section V.A for details concerning signage. G. Circulation The District Downtown has been planned to ensure efficient on-site circulation and appropriate access to the public street system surrounding the Site. Access to Site will occur as follows: full access will be provided on Pecos Road at the alignment of Palm Lane, along Arizona Avenue at the alignment of the Walmart driveway (a signalized intersection). Limited access will be provided at three additional driveways for the proposed development; two on Pecos Road and one on Arizona Avenue. H. Parking A total of 2,178 parking spaces are required and 2,183 spaces are provided. For commercial uses, the minimum parking ratio shall be 5.5 spaces per 1,000. V. MISCELLANEOUS A. Comprehensive Sign Plan The Comprehensive Sign Plan is attached as Exhibit 8. The Comprehensive Sign Plan addresses both permanent identification and temporary marketing requirements and has been designed to complement the quality of the employment, commercial, and residential components. To the extent the proposed comprehensive sign plan conflicts with the City’s Sign Code, we request the Comprehensive Sign Plan set forth in this booklet be followed. 7 B. Phasing The District Downtown is preliminarily anticipating developing in multiple phases as identified on Exhibit 9, Conceptual Phasing Plan, and as follows: • Phase 1 will be the off-site perimeter improvements along Pecos Road and Arizona Avenue and the main access drive from Arizona Avenue and Pecos Road. • Phase 2 will be the commercial development along Arizona Avenue and Pecos Road in Parcel 2, one of the two hotels in Parcels 6 and 7, and the multi-family development in Parcel 5. • A Preliminary Development Plan must be submitted and approved by the City Council for the proposed multi-family development on Parcel 4. • The balance of the development will be developed according to market demand. • Any changes to the Conceptual Phasing Plan must be approved by the City Council. C. Utilities The onsite water, fire and sewer lines will be private except for a public water loop connecting existing mains in Arizona Avenue, Pecos Road, and the existing apartments to the west. The City has requested that the connection to the apartment be completed as part of this project to enhance the existing water pressures in the complex. The public water loop will comply with the City’s requirements. D. Grading and Drainage The Conceptual Grading and Drainage Plan is attached as Exhibit 10. Development of the Site will provide retention for the 100-year, 2-hour storm event plus 10% in accordance with City of Chandler standards for site development. VI.
