Summary of Proposed Streets and/or Access:
Access to this development is proposed from six points; four points (two full accesses and two
right-in/right-out accesses) along N. Linder Road and from two points (one full access and one
right-in/right-out) along W. McMillan Road. The Applicant has provided a conceptual layout of
potential interior roadways and areas designated for retail, commercial, office, and multi -family
residential uses (see Exhibit A). The conceptual site plan depicts a driveway connection to the
stub street at the east property boundary (Paramount South 60). The Applicant states in their
narrative that it may be possible to provide for a public roadway extending to N. Linder Road and
aligning with either W. Deer Crest Street or W. Apgar Street. An internal cross-access/cross-
parking agreement should be provided for all lots within the subdivision.
The Planning Department is supportive of the southern right-in/right-out access point on Linder
Road but is not supportive of the northern right-in/right-out access. Staff is also in support of the
right-in/right-out access on McMillan Road. Staff is requesting that the Applicant provide a
minimum of one public street connection from the stub street at the east property
boundary, out to and aligning with either Deer Crest or Apgar Creek Street. The other
driveways shown on the conceptual site plan should be constructed as private streets for
addressing purposes. The aforementioned requests are included as conditions of approval in
Exhibit B of the staff report. As of the print date of this report, ACHD has not submitted formal
comments on this application. Other than the access points approved with this application by the
City and ACHD, direct lot access to N. Linder Road and W. McMillan Road should be
prohibited.

4. Open space and pathways: NA
Comprehensive Plan Designation: Commercial

History of Previous Actions:
• This property was annexed as part of Paramount Subdivision in 2004 (AZ-03-006). A
Development Agreement (Instrument No. 103137116) was also recorded at that time that
included the subject property.
• This property was included in the preliminary plat (PP-03-004) for Paramount Subdivision as
Lot 57, Block 3 that was approved in 2003.
• This property was included in the planned development (CUP-03-008) for Paramount
Subdivision that was approved in 2003. This property was designated on the conceptual site
plan for retail/office uses.
Elevations: Yes
Outstanding Issue(s) for Commission: None
Other: A DA modification will be required if multi -family uses are proposed on this property in the future
as only a certain number of units were approved to be constructed within the Paramount development and
this portion of the development was proposed for retail/office uses, not multi -family.
Staff Recommendation: Recommending approval of PP w/conditions noted in Exhibit B. (Commission is
not required to make a recommendation on the MI application)
