Request: 
1) Modification of Stipulation 1 regarding general 
conformance with the site plan dated November 23, 1992.

Applicant: 
Bill Allison, Withey Morris PLC 
Owner: 
 
SK&M Investments 
Representative: Bill Allison, Withey Morris PLC 
 
ACTIONS: 
 
Planning Hearing Officer Recommendation: The Planning Hearing Officer 
recommended approval with modifications and additional stipulations. 
 
Village Planning Committee (VPC) Recommendation: The Estrella Village 
Planning Committee heard this request on December 21, 2021 and 
recommended approval by a vote of 6-0. 
 
DISCUSSION: 
 
This item was heard concurrently with Item #3 (PHO-1-21--Z-23-95-7(4)).  
 
William Allison, representative with Withey Morris PLC, provided an overview of 
the subject site, original rezoning cases, and previous uses that have existed on 
the subject site. He reviewed the unanimous approval from the Estrella Village 
Planning Committee and noted that the case was continued from the January 19, 
2022 PHO hearing. He noted that the proposed conceptual site plan has been 
modified to address department comments from the Public Transit and Street 
Transportation Departments. He stated that the proposed conceptual site plan 
depicts a convenience store and gas station. He reviewed the proposed requests

Planning Hearing Officer Summary of February 16, 2022 
Application PHO-1-21—Z-1-93-7(4) 
Page 2 
 
 
and noted the changes made to the original request in response to the comments 
from the Public Transit Department.  
 
Adam Stranieri, Planning Hearing Officer, provided an overview of the Estrella 
Village Planning Committee and the continuance from the January 19, 2022 PHO 
hearing. He noted that the applicant has been working with the Public Transit and 
Street Transportation Departments regarding a bus bay and sidewalk 
improvements to the proposed conceptual site plan. He stated that the proposed 
conceptual site plan is compatible with other commercial development in the 
area. He recommended that the proposed modification of Stipulation 2 be 
approved with a modification to match the recommendation from the Public 
Transit Department comment. He recommended that the proposed modification 
to Stipulation 3 be approved with a modification to prohibit vehicular access to 
Melvin Street while allowing pedestrians to access the site on the north side of 
the property. He stated that the Street Transportation Department recommended 
three additional stipulations which are recommended to be included.  
 
FINDINGS: 
 
1) The request to modify Stipulation 1 is recommended to be approved with a 
modification to provide standard general conformance language.  The 
stipulated site plan depicted a drive-through restaurant with the drive-
through along the west property line exiting directly onto Van Buren Street.  
This has been demolished and the site is currently vacant.  The proposed 
conceptual site plan depicts a convenience store and gas station with 
pump island canopies situated along Van Buren Street.  The scale and 
intensity of the proposal are compatible with its location at the intersection 
of two arterial streets and consistent with other commercial development 
in the immediate vicinity. 
 
The Public Transit Department indicated support for the revised site plan 
date stamped February 11, 2022.  The revised site plan proposed 
placement of a bus pad on westbound Van Buren Street closer to the 
intersection with 35th Avenue. They noted the site is at a critical transfer 
point for two heavily used bus routes. The pad’s proper location closer to 
the intersection is essential for the safety and efficiency of the City’s transit 
system. 
 
2) The request to modify Stipulation 2 is recommended to be approved with a 
modification to replace the existing stipulation with updated language 
regarding a bus stop pad along westbound Van Buren Street, west of 35th 
Avenue.  In their narrative, the applicant argued that the bus stop 
referenced in Stipulation 2 exists and that the language requiring this 
infrastructure can be removed.  They proposed replacing the stipulation

Planning Hearing Officer Summary of February 16, 2022 
Application PHO-1-21—Z-1-93-7(4) 
Page 3 
 
 
with new language addressing pedestrian pathways and shading 
requirements. 
 
However, the Public Transit Department does not support this request and 
clarified that the original stipulation has not been met.  They noted that the 
existing bus stop referenced in the applicant’s narrative is located on the 
adjacent parcel to the west and that this stop does not meet City 
standards for spacing from a major intersection as stated in City of 
Phoenix Standard Detail P1258.   
 
The Public Transit Department comments are consistent with the Planning 
Department Staff Report dated January 13, 1993 for the original rezoning 
case which provided the rationale for Stipulation 2 when it was 
established.  This staff report stated that the existing bus stop on the north 
side of Van Buren Street, far side of 35th Avenue, is located too far to the 
west.  Staff recommended Stipulation 2 to eliminate this inconsistency and 
provide guidance for the appropriate City standards and details for the 
proposed new bus stop.  As the bus stop has not been constructed per 
Stipulation 2, following City Council approval of the original rezoning case, 
this same issue remains. 
 
The Public Transit Department further noted that the proposed 
modification would eliminate the requirement for a bus stop on this site 
which is an important transfer point for the City of Phoenix transit system. 
According to the 2019 Valley Metro Origin/Destination survey, 336 riders 
transfer daily between Route 3 on Van Buren Street and Route 35 on 35th 
Avenue, making this location one of the busiest areas for bus transfers in 
the region’s transit system. 
 
Finally, Public Transit Department staff noted that on October 6, 2021, the 
Phoenix City Council approved the first Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line in the 
City’s history. This high-capacity transit service will operate along Van 
Buren Street from Central Avenue to 35th Avenue and along 35th Avenue 
north to the Metrocenter site. Future BRT riders who wish to continue west 
along Van Buren Street must transfer to regular bus service at the bus 
stop that should be located on the subject site of this case.  
 
The demand for a properly designed bus stop has only increased since 
the City Council approved the original Stipulation 2 in 1993 and will 
continue to increase due to the recent Council approved BRT service.  
The recommendation to provide updated language regarding the required 
bus stop pad is consistent with the recommendation of the Public Transit 
Department. The applicant submitted a revised site plan that addresses 
this recommendation which is further described in Finding #1.

Planning Hearing Officer Summary of February 16, 2022 
Application PHO-1-21—Z-1-93-7(4) 
Page 4 
 
 
3) The request to modify Stipulation 3 is recommended to be approved with a 
modification to clarify that vehicular access to Melvin Street is prohibited.  
The proposed modification will allow pedestrian access to the site from the 
neighborhood to the north, while clarifying that vehicular access is 
prohibited, which will prohibit commercial traffic on a local street with 
existing residences. 
 
4) The Street Transportation Department recommends an additional 
stipulation requiring that any driveway proposed along Van Buren Street 
be restricted to right-in/right-out movements only.  This stipulation is 
recommended for inclusion.   
 
Street Transportation Department staff noted that the recommendation is 
not intended to require a driveway along Van Buren Street; however, any 
proposed driveways must be restricted to right-in/right-out because of the 
subject site’s proximity to the existing signalized intersection and not 
meeting the City standard for access control, resulting in conflicting turning 
movements. 
 
5) The Street Transportation Department recommends two additional 
stipulations regarding a detached sidewalk along the west side of 35th 
Avenue and a sidewalk easement along both 35th Avenue and Van Buren 
Street.  These stipulations are recommended for inclusion.   
 
Street Transportation Department staff noted that 35th Avenue is identified 
as a D-Cross Section on the City Council approved Street Classification 
Map. The D-Section requires detached sidewalks. The Street 
Classification Map also requires a total of 50-foot right-of-way dedication 
allowing the last 10 feet to be sidewalk easement. The current ROW along 
both frontages is 40-feet and therefore Street Transportation is requesting 
the 10-foot sidewalk easement dedication to comply with the Street 
Classification Map.
