per the Cadence community plan a daycare facility is allowed by right in the community commercial land use group this is a photo of the site looking south from Cadence Parkway and as you can see the site is currently vacant the proposed site plan shows the development of a one-story 10,147 square feet daycare center the building includes a fence playground area that will be located along the east and south sides of the proposed building vehicle access to the site is provided from an existing Drive vi from East Cadence Parkway specific specifically at the west side of the project site in all a total number of 27 parking spaces are required and a a total number of 29 proposed parking spaces are to be provided on the site for this specific development and these parking spaces are supposed to be located part of these parking spaces are supposed to be located on the site as well as offsite so out of the 29 parking spaces a total number of 19 spaces are supposed to be or are proposed to be located on the site and these parking spaces will be located specifically along the west sides and also the south side of the proposed building the additional of the remaining 10 parking spaces are proposed to be located on the adjacent parel located at the west side there is a parking agreement that allows the proposed um site or the proposed development to use them parking spaces on the adjacent pel to the west and as discussed uh previously the parking agreement specifically States 10 parking spaces are proposed for this development this is a landscape plan provided and it shows a variety of trees Pro proposed for the site and this landscape plan was reviewed by the design review board at the November work session and the board made some minor um comments that has to do with Aesthetics um and side design and which do not impact the site plan these are the renderings of the proposed building and this is specifically the Northwest rendering which shows the entrance into the building and this is the side of the building that will be visible from Cadence Parkway as well as the adjacent commercial development on the west side and this is the Southwest wind ring that will be visible from the adjacent commercial developments on the west and the Southwest as well as the residential developments to the South the applicant completed the citizen participation process by mailing notification letters to Property Owners within a th000 ft of the site as well as nearby HOAs and registered neighborhoods and staff received one comment from a concerned neighbor who expressed concerns about parking overflow onto other Parcels adjacent to the project site in all sta finds that the proposed project complies with the 2014 Mesa General plan as well as section 3.9a of the Cadence community plan for S plan review in view of this staff recommends approval with conditions thank you and I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have thank you are there any questions at this point uh what we'd like to do is open it up for the uh public uh uh period to to have it looks like we've received one blue card I assume that's you um this is uh from Robin clawitter am I saying that correctly and uh please come on up you you have three minutes and let us know your concerns thank you yes my name is Robin CLA I'm the Executive Vice President of Mountainside Fitness uh we did make a public comment earlier and we're basically here to say the same thing we just want to make sure that there is sufficient parking for the daycare and the Overflow is contained to their parcel their surge times are very similar to to our surge times you can imagine parents drop their children off at the daycare and then come visit us uh we just want to make sure that th those two don't overlap to the point where we aren't able to park our clients as well it does seem that there was a comment about an agreement with another parcel to the West for 10 spaces and uh that might resolve the problem that's just not something that was brought to our attention yet thank you appreciate it uh is the applicant here maybe you can address that and uh hi I'm Nicole Poston with OnPoint architecture I'm actually representing John Rell architects today John uh is the architect uh his father-in-law passed away and so he's at the funeral and business goes on right so I'm here I do know that that um the parking agreement has been completed and it is enforced so that those 10 extra Park parking spaces are on the parcel to the West so that is already done can I ask a question um is is are they specifically located on that on the parcel I know there's a number of 10 but are they located you know have you seen the actual sorry I limited no problem um thank you chair U so these parking spaces are supposed to be located on the west side of the um the site so this is this site is currently approved for a medical office so Phoenix Children's uh Clinic um is is the uh um proposed development that is supposed to be um implemented there so it has gone through the site plan approval process and they are yet to um implement the whole um development but the number of parking spaces available on the site are enough for to serve the fin um Children's Clinic medical office which is a medical office as well as these this proposed daycare facility so um there are enough parking spaces and then as stated the parking agreement states that um they can have access to 10 parking spaces and provided these parking spaces are within 500 ft from the entrance of the proposed building um that meets the requirement of the Cadence community plan is there any thought given to to maybe assigning those those spaces so they're on a certain area to give the theual others signage yeah it could be a it could always be a part of their construction document requirements yeah I I don't know I know that the the easement is already dedicated correct yeah Vice chair board Evan Balmer principal planner um so the parking agreement is for 10 spaces it doesn't identify the 10 spaces specifically just that they have access access to 10 spaces how that works out between the two Property Owners is something that they can they can agree on in the future as far as which 10 but the agreement does give the daycare facility access to 10 parking spaces which satisfies the parking requirements for their specific use working with private entities that's probably where their employees would I I have a couple questions are you going to ask a question go ahead no you go ahead okay those P parking spaces are not developed yet though correct thank you chair board member montz that's correct okay do we have any idea when that there's been no application for that parcel yet right there's no plan there's oh it's the The Children's Clinic um Vice chair board member Carpenter so that is the Phoenix Children's Hospital um and it came through planning zoning board um maybe a year or so ago it is underdeveloped vment we can check the permits on that but if these 10 spaces are the 10 spaces are are required for this specific use so they will be needed for this this use sorry iess my followup question would be will will this applicant be as part of their construction process building those 10 spot spaces so that they can be used once their projects completed and not wait for the Phoenix Children's uh thank you uh Vice chair board member Carpenter so the to satisfy their this parking requirement for the daycare center they need those 10 spaces so um if if those 10 spaces are not constructed prior to a point of of opening um then yes I believe the the daycare use would need to work with the property owner to make sure that adequate parking is provided okay thank you along those same line same lines so condition number four is compliance with the shared parking agreement um and is is that is there Clarity whether that's actual construction or just use of those spaces to Vice chair board member Peterson so compliance with the parking agreement um that parking agreement is what satisfies the parking requirement for the daycare center so we need to be sure that that parking agreement stays in in place so it doesn't necessarily relate the parking agreement doesn't specify the construction who constructs what but it allows for the daycare use to allow to use 10 spaces at the Phoenix Children's Hospital site and that needs to stay in place to make sure that we have adequate parking and and does uh does the the the the nature of the requirements of the proposed site plan then it it it it is the require requirement built in within that that to be understood that the the 10 spaces need to be constructed before occupancy or is that another condition that we need to add here or is it or is it built in within the site plan um chair Bo Vice chair board member Peterson we don't have a condition specific to the timing of those con the construction of those 10 spaces um but they will be needed as for um the daycare use so if 's a point where the daycare is is moving ahead of of Phoenix Children's Hospital I think the two property owners are going to need to work together because we will need those 10 spaces for uh for the daycare and is that shared parking agreement Just Between the the hospital and the and the daycare or does it is it an entire does the entire Center have a have a a a chair parking agreement Vice chair uh board member Peterson this parking agreement is specific to these two properties properties the Phoenix Children's Hospital and daycare okay so so so then enforcement wise if the uh the the fitness center needed to restrict their existing parking to their customers only then that's within their the they're right right there's not a a cross parking agreement that that allows everybody to park wherever it's available uh Vice chair board member Peterson not to my knowledge the one that we are working with today is specific to just these two parcels and that's how the daycare center is able to satisfy their parking requirement is with this specific shared parking agreement okay and then quasi you mentioned that Transportation or traffic had reviewed the case and did they they reviewed it from a a traffic flow perspective and and they felt that drop off pickup all those types of things that that are inherent with these types of uses that that those wouldn't wouldn't cause any any traffic issues there thank you Vice chair board member Peterson so the National Standard uh set forth by The Institute of Transport Engineers which takes um into consideration the size of the proposed building so the square footage of the building and this is a th000 um Square ft of the proposed building and so looking at this measure um the the output is way below um 300 which um in city of Mesa um raises an alarm um or traffic concerns and so um looking at the standard um this development is way below the um the traffic P our traffic generation that will cause um I Way Beyond what is required within the city of Misa okay and to to be clear uh Vice chair board member Peterson uh Transportation has reviewed this request and they they don't have any concerns with the the traffic flows or the traffic patterns okay gotcha thank you just to clarify though that the from what I'm hearing from you in order for them to get their certificate of occupancy they're going to have to have those 10 spaces in in existence that is correct okay um are there any other comments maybe just a question for the the adjacent owner of addresses the concern or not I guess so does that address your concern okay okay then I will uh entertain a motion on this one board member pitcher you could just close the public hearing if there are no the public com there you go close the public hearing and the comments now I'll uh are there any other comments that that you have if none then I will uh entertain a uh a motion Vice chair pitcher I'll make the motion I move that we approve case z n22 d011 59 Kids Incorporated in district 6 within the 9300 block of East Cadence
