Project/Subdivision Name:The Oasis Pre-app Notes Date: 1/7/2021
City Staff:Joe Dodson, Bill Parson, Caleb Hood, Scott Colaianni, Joe Bongiorno,Tom Walsh, Codee Krausch, Ken Crouch (ITD)
Applicant(s)/Contact(s): Brian Tsai—Tenant;Tim Locher—Developer
Location: 3085 E. Ustick(SWC Ustick& Eagle)—SWC lot. Size of Property: 3.26 ac.
Comprehensive Plan FLUM Designation: Mixed-Use Regional
Existing Use:Vacant Existing Zoning: C-G
Proposed Use: Nightclub/Concert House with alcohol (CUP for Drinking Establishment) Proposed Zoning: no change
Surrounding Uses: Vacant to the west and directly south; Ustick abuts the site to the north; Eagle abuts the site to the east;
Commercial uses exist to the north and east of the roads. On site,only one other pad site has requested approval.
Street Buffer(s)and/or Land Use Buffer(s): Because no residential district or uses are adjacent to site, no land use buffers are
required.All street buffers will be installed by Developer with overall site improvements(see History).
Open Space/Amenities/Pathways: N/A
Access/Stub Streets: Access is proposed via a shared driveway access to Ustick(restricted to right-in/right-out only).Access into the
site is important as proposed use tends to create more traffic all at once. Staff recommends working with developer to determine when
off-site road improvements(shared drive aisle)will occur that allow for a secondary access to the south (Cajun Lane)and then out to
Eagle Road.
Waterways/Floodplain/Topography/Hazards: Maintain all required buffers adjacent to irrigation ditch.
Sewer/Water:Will be constructed by Developer with overall site improvements.
History: H-2019-0082(DA Modification to remove the subject site from an existing DA and enter into a new one specific to this site; DA
Inst.#2019-121599);A-2019-0376(CZC for parking lot, landscaping, and other relevant site improvements);A-2020-0163 (CZC and
Design Review approval of an urgent care facility on the SEC pad site); H-2020-0104 for a 5-lot commercial plat.
Additional Meeting Notes:
Due to contentious nature of proposed use, how project is presented is integral to obtaining a positive recommendation from
Staff. This includes how well you try to mitigate issues brought up during the neighborhood meeting process and questions raised by
Staff through the review process.
Parking is a major concern to all City Staff. If you will be serving food, minimum parking requirement is 1 space/250 gross square feet.
Despite the shared nature of the parking on site, there must be enough parking for each building to at least meet their minimums at the
same time. Please outline your parking plan in your Narrative. Designating some of the proposed spaces for ride share only is an
option to conceptually help with the parking (these spaces do not double count or remove the need to meet the minimums).
A very detailed Narrative will be required that details the proposed business plan(hours of operation, capacity,
potential array of uses, pedestrian elements of site and adjacent sites, potential noise, any noise/light mitigation,etc.)See
additional comments from Police sent in separate email.
Any roll-up doors should not face any public space; try to mitigate the visual aspect of these through landscaping.
CUP process may add additional conditions beyond the minimum code requirements. i.e. maximum capacity below the fire
occupancy load or hours of operation, uses, etc. Some of this may be added by the P&Z Commission but some will be determined by
the proposal outlined in your application and Staffs recommended conditions of approval.The more information you can provide
overall,the better outcome both you and the City can expect.
Neighborhood meeting requirements have changed. New information is as follows: Radius must be mailed out to at least 500
feet and you must wait 5 days after your notice to hold the meeting;you must wait at least 10 days following the meeting to submit your
application to the City. Staff highly recommends reaching out to residents outside of the required radius to help get any issues vetted
prior to the public hearing.
Note:A Traffic Impact Study(TIS)will be required by ACHD for large commercial projects and any residential development with over 100 units. To
avoid unnecessary delays&expedite the hearing process, applicants are encouraged to submit the TIS to ACHD prior to submitting their application
to the City. Not having ACHD comments and/or conditions on large projects may delay hearing(s)at the City. Please contact Mindy Wallace at 387-
6178 or Christy Little at 387-6144 at ACHD for information in regard to a TIS, conditions,impact fees and process.
