III. STAFF ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Code(UDC)
A. General Overview
This property is designated as Mixed-Use Community(MU-C)on the Future Land Use Map
(FLUM). The proposed use for office buildings is consistent with prior approvals and the
comprehensive plan for the MU-C designation.
The subject sites are among several commercially zoned properties surrounding the corner of S.
Touchmark Way and E. Franklin Road. The proposed office buildings align with the desired uses
specified within the Mixed-Use Community designation. In conjunction with the existing office
buildings,proposed future residential, and existing residential the proposed use satisfies the mix
of uses desired in the MU-C designation.
Table 4: Proiect Overview
Description Details
History AZ-05-022; PP-05-054;CUP-05-050
Acreage 1.2 acres
B. History and Process
The subject property was annexed in May 2001 (Ordinance No. 01.917) and approved a
conditional use permit(CUP-05-050)for the applicant to develop the property into a mixed-use
retirement community consisting of residential dwellings,medical offices,commercial/retail
businesses, and a senior community center. The CUP requires all lots within the scope of the
permit to receive detailed CUP approval prior to developing the property.
C. Site Development and Use Analysis
1. Proposed Use Analysis (UDC 11-2):
The proposed use of office buildings aligns well with the Mixed-Use Neighborhood(MU-C)
future land use designation,which supports a blend of residential, commercial,and
recreational uses. Office buildings are typically principally permitted in the L-O zoning,
however, due to a provision in the CUP from 2005, all properties require a detailed CUP
approval.
By offering service options within proximity to both residential areas and existing
commercial developments,this project contributes to the community's overall livability and
sustainability. Specifically, it adheres to Policy 3.06.02B,which encourages and supports
mixed-use areas that provide the benefits of living, shopping, dining, and working nearby,
thereby reducing vehicle trips.
To align with the current development, staff recommends that the applicant enhance
landscaping between the buildings and along the eastern buffer. Goal 2.09.02E of the
comprehensive plan emphasizes the importance of consistent landscaping standards for
developments. Therefore, staff is advising that these improvements be included with the
Certificate of Zoning Compliance and Design Review submission.
2. Dimensional Standards (UDC 11-2):
Development of the site hall comply with the dimensional standards of the L-O zoning
district in UDC Table 11-2B-3.Staff has reviewed the proposed plans and building elevations
and they comply with the required standards.

D. Design Standards Analysis
1. Landscaping (UDC 11-3B):
i. Parking lot landscaping

Landscaping is required to meet the standards of UDC 11-3B-9. The landscape plan
meets the minimum requirements.

2. Parking (UDC 11-3C):
i. Nonresidential parking analysis
A minimum of one(1) off street parking space is required per 500 square feet of gross
floor area. Based on the buildings ranging between 4,534 and 4,760 square feet, 19
parking stalls are required between the two(2) sites.A total of 37 parking stalls are
provided exceeding the required parking.
ii. Bicycle parking analysis
A minimum of one(1)bicycle parking space must be provided for every 25 vehicle
spaces or portion thereof per UDC 11-3C-6G;bicycle parking facilities are required to
comply with the location and design standards listed in UDC 11-3C-5C.Bicycle parking
is depicted on the plans submitted with this application that meet the requirements.
3. Building Elevations (Comp Plan,Architectural Standards Manual):
Goal 2.09.03A of the Comprehensive Plan highlights establishing distinct, engaging identities
within commercial and mixed-use enters through design standards to integrate commercial,
multifamily,and parking areas with existing neighborhoods. In response,the developer has
submitted conceptual building elevations for the proposed structure as shown in Section
VII.C. Building materials consist of EIFS stucco, craft chop ledge panels, standing seam
metal panels, steel canopies, and glazing.
The proposed conceptual elevations are approved. The final design is required to comply
with the Architectural Standards Manual for Commercial Design Guidelines.
E. Transportation Analysis
1. Access (Comp Plan, UDC 11-3A-3, UDC 11-3H-4):
Goal 6.01.02B emphasizes reducing the number of access points onto arterial streets by
utilizing strategies such as cross-access agreements, access management, and the creation of
frontage and backage roads,while also improving connectivity between local and collector
streets. The site plan features a single access point via a private drive aisle located on the
western part of the site. This private drive aisle connects to S. Touchmark Way and E. Louise
Drive(collector streets).
Staff has concerns with the location of the trash enclosure,however,Republic Services has
approved these locations.

2. Sidewalks (UDC 11-3A-17):
The proposed plan includes a pedestrian walkway from the main sidewalk on the north side
of the buildings connecting to the front of each building. Pedestrians do not need to cross
driving surfaces to connect with these building so delineation from the drive aisle is not
required. The site/landscape plan submitted both reflect compliance with this standard.

City utilities. Goal 3.03.03G of the Plan mandates urban infrastructure be provided for all
new developments,including curb and gutter, sidewalks,water and sewer utilities. All
utilities for the proposed development are required to be installed in accord with the standards
listed in UDC 11-3A-21.
