Findings: 
1.
The request for modification of Stipulation 2 is recommended to be approved with a
modification. Staff is recommending the modification of Stipulation 2 to delete the
requirement for general conformance to the elevations dated June 23, 2006 and create
new stipulations to allow for the possible development of one of two different options
with permitted building heights depending on the specific use or mix of uses.
ATTACHMENT C

The new stipulation (Stipulation 3) allows the submitted site plans to be applicable only 
to the proposed tower on Building P for the two building heights for either the 140 feet 
for an office and/or mixed-use commercial tower (Option 1) or 165 feet for a single use 
or mixed-use tower including residential, hotel, and/or commercial uses (Option 2). 
Future developments separate from the Building P tower will be able to submit separate 
site plans specific to those projects, independent of the plans for Building P.  
 
Staff is also recommending approval for the removal of the June 23, 2006 elevations 
requirement, as these elevations are outdated and are only applicable to the first phase 
of development, already completed on the site. Elevations and design review will 
continue to be reviewed and commented on by the Camelback East Architectural 
Review Committee for each proposed development. Lastly, the proposed tower 
complies with the Building Height Exhibit B of the Camelback East Primary Core 
Specific Plan, dated August 24, 2006, which designates the area with a maximum 
building height of 165 feet. 
 
 
2. 
Stipulation 4 has been added as a new stipulation at the request of the Street 
Transportation Department.  The stipulation requires a Traffic Impact Study that will 
evaluate the magnitude of traffic impact the addition of Building P has on the adjacent 
intersection and existing infrastructure.  The study will help determine if additional 
infrastructure is needed to ensure the traffic in the area continues to operate safely and 
efficiently with the new addition. 
 
 
3. 
The Public Transit Department recommends an additional stipulation requiring the 
developer to retain the existing bus stop pad and transit shelter adjacent to the site.  
This additional Stipulation has been added as new Stipulation 5. 
 
 
4. 
The applicant did not submit a Proposition 207 waiver of claims prior to the Planning 
Hearing Officer hearing. Submittal of this form is an application requirement.  An 
additional stipulation is recommended to require the applicant to record this form and 
deliver it to the City to be included in the rezoning application file for record (Stipulation 
11). 
 
Stipulations: 
 
1. 
That The development of the two Phase 1 towers with residential or hotel uses up to 
165 feet shall be in general conformance with the conceptual site plan and elevations 
dated June 23, 2006. 
 
 
2. 
That The location of future towers beyond Phase 1 shall conform to the Biltmore 
Fashion Park Building Height Exhibit B, dated August 24, 2006, as set forth in the 
Camelback East Primary Core Specific Plan, the stipulations of this rezoning case, and 
the applicable Specific Plan Design Guidelines. For towers seeking bonus building 
heights above 112 feet, compliance with Specific Plan criteria to achieve such bonus 
building heights shall be reviewed and approved through the City's Planning Hearing 
Officer hearing process. Should the building elevations for these future buildings not be 
generally consistent with the elevations dated June 23, 2006, the applicant shall also 
be required to process a modification to this stipulation to approve the new building 
elevations through the City's Planning Hearing Officer hearing process.
