This decision involves an ordinance to amend the stipulations for Rezoning Case No. Z-14-16-8, which was originally approved in 2016 to rezone 12.52 acres from GC (Golf Course) to C-1 (Neighborhood Retail) for commercial development. The current request is to modify Stipulation 1, which concerns general conformance with the site plan and elevations. The applicant, Chick-fil-A, proposes to develop a 4,852 square foot freestanding restaurant with a double-wide drive-thru, two drive-thru canopies, and a trash enclosure on approximately 2.378 acres. The original approved plan contemplated a 4,000 square foot drive-through bank, a 2,000 square foot drive-through restaurant, and a 12,500 square foot retail and restaurant building, which never materialized. The new development proposal incorporates Chick-fil-A's corporate branding elements. The Planning Hearing Officer recommended approval with modifications and additional stipulations, including specific landscape setbacks, multi-use trail construction, pedestrian pathways, screening of drive-through lanes, right-of-way dedications, and archaeological survey requirements. The Laveen Village Planning Committee also recommended approval.
