to support i would like my comment read out loud can we please have mixed zoning in the neighborhoods near mesa riverview i think that having small groceries and restaurants in the area would improve walkability in this area and reduce traffic and pedestrian deaths i would also propose narrowing university and country club to two lanes and adding larger protected bike paths so that more residents can easily get to the light rail station and reduce people having to illegally cross the road on foot finally can we please continue the gravel bike path so that it goes around mesa country club instead of just stopping thank you board member villanueva cecedo has agreed to read our consent agenda today the items on the consent agenda will be voted together as a group before we do that are

broadway road northside located north of broadway road on the east side of dobson road site plan modification a special use permit this request will allow for a building expansion to an existing industrial development staff recommendation is approval with conditions there is a comment attached to this case that was asked to be read into the record from everett farmer 1830 west broadway road my name is everett farman i represent off dobson llc owner of the private road south of the arizona coordinated container acc and west farmer lcc owner of 1830 west broadway owner of the property immediately east of acc we're against this expansion for several reasons one acc has abandoned their primary access to dobson road their chosen primary access is now from the private road owned by off dobson this road is a recorded access for four properties they are acc 1830 west broadway 1826 west broadway and the property located on the northeast corner of dobson and the private road it is not a city street and is not constructed a city standard is not designed to carry the truck traffic that has been generated by acc there already have been problems with the road although the access agreement requires the owners of the four properties mentioned above to maintain the road acc refused to repair the damage that was in front of their property access and caused by the maneuvering of heavy trucks of dobson will not participate in the future repair of the road if the city approves this request they should secure an agreement from acc that they will maintain the road the only recourse the city will have is to find off dobson llc which will initiate our abandonment of the property there will be no one to find until the property is sold for taxes two acc does not have truck parking on-site trucks are continually parking on the private road as stated the private road is for access not truck parking the additions to their facility will only further limit on-site parking and create additional parking on the private road and elsewhere it will also accelerate maintenance problems for the road three the city has already allowed the construction of a structure at the northeast corner of the property that is about as ugly as it gets apparently it is a refuse collector for their product it is not only insightly it is continually noisy we are surprised that the city approved such an eyesore item 4a z0121-00966 district 2 within the 6100 block of east main street south side located east of record road on the south side of main street rezoned from limited

there this is the on 22-00-335 it's a request for site plan review for a property within eastmark to allow in industrial development the project is located on the southeast corner of everton terrace and elliott that's west of signal butte just west of the existing apple facility the location or the project is also located within the elliott road technology corridor and an area defined for the eastmark technology enterprise core here's a view of the site looking south from elliott road and in the general plan eastmark is identified as a mixed-use community the focus is develop a mixture of uses that create a complete and identifiable community that does include employment industrial and office space it's also located in the gateway strategic development plan as mixed-use community the zoning on the property is planned community all of eastmark has that same designation it's also in the airport overflight area 3803 the zoning on the property with the eastmark the you know planned community they've got um development units that identify different land use groups that can be built within on this map on the right you can see the land use group um see is that kind of greenish color there it identifies areas where that land use group can be selected that's what the applicant has selected for this site luxy is what it's referenced as and that allows for light industrial uses including light manufacturing warehousing and accessory office space which is what's proposed for this site the site plan includes five buildings not four i changed the presentation downstairs but not up here sorry about that and it's over 900 000 square feet of light industrial space access to the site is off of elliott road and also off of everton terrace they've provided some common areas throughout the site to allow employees to have a place to get away to that include landscaping seating and shade elements the design review process in eastmark is that it goes through a design review committee and that was preliminarily approved on april 28th of this year and here's some renderings of what was proposed to that group they completed a citizen participation process for this they had a neighborhood meeting in the middle of may on may 16th they had that via zoom they sent out the appropriate notice but there were no neighbors that were in attendance the project complies with the 2040 mesa general plan complies with the eastmark community plan complies with the development unit plan for du56 south and meets the review criteria for site plan review that's outlined in the eastmark community plan under section 6.1 and we're recommending approval with conditions thank you are there any board member questions on this presentation i i'm the one that pulled this off consent and my you know the concern i have is on the crosstalk aspect of this facility um and specifically where this project is located along the elliott road technology corridor and i just have like i said i have some reservations about approving a site plan that has a large crosstalk area leslie you do you have a the staff have a response to that concern or staff understands the concern but the lug that's identified for this and the way that the plans are set up it is an allowable use within that designation so therefore staff was supportive because it is allowed okay okay the building is located further back in behind some others though so it does mitigate some of that impact okay is the with the applicant like to to speak to this application adam baugh 2525 east arizona biltmore circle there was an attorney joke somewhere in here but i decided to pass for a quick minute it's a valid concern the i think the city has been pretty strategic on how they designed the ertc which is on the north side of the road not the south side of the road and this community plan predated that and so i think as an applicant they look at what our and what our entitlement rights allow and let us develop for that in time right but i think we took some things into consideration there's a little bit of discussion with staff as we laid out the site plan the version you see today isn't reflected by the version we started with and because of the way the ertc talks about buildings fronting the road we specifically kind of shifted some things around as you can see we put our three smaller buildings close to the road which allow them to be utilized a little differently than the buildings in the back particularly i think those buildings are more shallow on the front side of the road which lend themselves more to a different type of user than a logistics user or anything like that and that's really the appearance that you're trying to achieve along elliott road understanding that the the crosstalk isn't allowed used by right they took they put it in the back side so that way it didn't frustrate the intent of what's trying to happen on the north side road so at least on our or the mir image of us um along the frontage would at least mirror what you're expecting to see along elliott road but still given the the developer property owner the ability to exercise their rights on the back so they didn't build the they're not proposing the size of crosstalk facility that they started with so it's a little bit smaller than where we began i think recognizing those factors how we came to that conclusion okay thank you for that explanation is there is there anything else you wanted to speak to on the application you don't feel compelled to but thank you okay thank you any discussion on this item before we have a vote i'm seeing shaking heads no okay do i have a motion i have a motion and given that everything in the plan is allowed by wright i i motioned to approve item 3a z0122-00335 district 6 within the 10 000 to 10 400 blocks of east elliott road south side and within the 36 to 3 800 blocks of south everton terrace east side located west of signal b road on the south side of elliott road site plan review this request will allow for industrial development staff recommendation is approval with conditions a motion to approve a second okay i have a motion and a second are you ready for the vote please do there we go okay by a vote of uh six eyes one no this item has passed uh i'll turn to our uh planning director is there any update for us today i just
