SU#2014-02
Arizona Propane,proposes to construct a 12' round, 6,000 gallon propane storage tank and conduct associated
as sales at 17251 E. Shea Blvd, currently known as Shea East Plaza (Kern Plaza). The tank will be above
ground and surrounded by an 8' tall masonry wall. The wall will be designed and painted to match the existing
style of the office building. The applicants will also be renovating the former coffee kiosk into an attendant's
office. The kiosk has already been repainted to match the existing plaza style.
As this use is not specifically listed in the zoning ordinance, staff has determined that the use is similar in
nature with retail gasoline sales activities which generally fall under the Special Use category listed in Section
12.04.E of the Zoning Ordinance. While not an exact match, staff feels the use is similar enough to qualify for
Special Use consideration in the C-1 zoning district.
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS:
If the Special Use Permit is approved, the applicant will be required to obtain a building permit for the
improvements within six months of Town Council approval. If the applicant fails to obtain a building permit within
the allowed time or if the building permit is allowed to expire, the Special Use Permit will lapse.
Section 2.02.D of the Zoning Ordinance indicates that the following factors should be considered in the review of
a Special Use Permit:
1. Special conditions influencing its location.
Staff- The plaza is located on Shea Blvd which is the main east-west arterial street in Fountain
Hills. Access onto Shea Blvd is excellent. The plaza is zoned for commercial uses and it currently
has only one tenant.
2. Proposed location of buildings, parking and other facilities.
Staff- No new buildings are proposed. The walled enclosure containing the propane tank is the
only structure to be built. The existing kiosk will receive tenant improvements on the inside only.
The plaza parking is adequate to handle this additional use.
3. Amount of traffic likely to be generated.
Staff- The proposal will not generate traffic in excess of the parking lot's circulation and design
capacity.
4. Influence that the above factors are likely to exert on adjoining properties.
Staff- The neighborhood immediately behind the plaza is currently a single-family residential
area. Neither the neighborhood nor Firebrick Drive is accessible by car from the plaza. Noise,
litter, or other undesirable conditions that could negatively affect the neighborhood are not
expected to be any greater than normally associated with commercial plazas. The Commission
should thoroughly review the mitigation methods Arizona Propane plans to use, and if they are
determined to be inadequate, stipulate what additional measures that you recommend be taken.
In order to recommend approval of a Special Use Permit, the findings of the Commission must be that the
establishment, maintenance, or operation of the use or building applied for will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety, peace, comfort, and general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of such
proposed use, nor shall it be detrimental or injurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood or to
the general welfare of the town.
The Commission may also recommend to the Town Council any conditions in connection with the use permit
that it deems appropriate to secure the intent and purposes of this ordinance and may recommend requiring
guarantees and evidence that the conditions are being, or will be followed.
Page 2 of 4
AZ Propane
SU#2014-02
the Commission determines that the application and supporting data do not indicate that all applicable
conditions and requirements of this ordinance will be satisfactorily mitigated or met, it may recommend denial
of the Special Use Permit.
Risk Analysis (options or alternatives with implications):
Approval of the Special Use Permit will allow Arizona Propane to install a 12' diameter propane tank within a
walled enclosure and to install additional landscaping and other site upgrades. Denial of the Special Use
Permit will require that the applicants either look for an alternative location or decide not to pursue the
proposal.
Fiscal Impact (initial and ongoing costs; budget status): N/A
Recommendation(s):
Staff has not received any correspondence regarding the proposal.
Staff Recommendation(s):
Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission forward a recommendation to the Town Council to
approve the proposed Special Use Permit subject to the following stipulations:
1. Applicant is required to obtain a building permit for the improvements within six months of Town Council
approval. Failure to obtain a building permit within the allowed time or if the building permit is allowed to
expire, the Special Use Permit will lapse.
2. Applicant shall submit a landscape plan depicting additional plantings designed to better screen the
propane tank from street view. Such plan shall be submitted, approved and completed prior to a
Certificate of Occupancy.
3. Arizona Propane shall have and maintain a valid, up-to-date Fountain Hills Business License.
4. Building signage shall be in full compliance with the Fountain Hills zoning ordinance.
5. The external areas of the plaza, including parking lots, will be kept clean and any litter shall be removed
within 2 hours following closing for the evening.
6. Applicants are required to follow the standard requirements of the Fountain Hills Fire Department as
outlined in the memorandum of 4/2/2014. On-site inspections will be conducted by the Fire Department
to determine compliance. (480) 816-5114.
7. Applicants shall comply with the Fountain Hills Town Engineer's memorandum of 4/15/2014 regarding
the emergency access gate on Firebrick Drive.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
Move to forward a recommendation to approve the SPECIAL USE PERMIT to allow Arizona Propane to install
a 12' diameter, 6,000 gallon propane tank within a walled enclosure and to install other site upgrades with
additional landscaping as presented and subject to the stipulations outlined in the staff report.

Narrative: 17257 E.Shea Blvd, Fountain Hills Arizona
Arizona Propane, Fountain Hills
C1 zoning:request for special use permit
Arizona Propane, has moved their Corporate Offices in 2013 to 17521 E.Shea Blvd in Fountain Hills.
Martin Dawson the owner of Arizona Propane has lived in Fountain Hills since the 1970s. He is a long
time resident.
The property is zoned C-1 which allows for a special use permit application in the current zoning for
retail sales of gasoline subject to compliance with applicable fire and safety codes. ( limited to 4
dispensing units, serving a maximum of 8 cars simultaneously) In this case it will be a single dispensing
unit servicing 1 vehicle at a time .
Arizona Propane has 3 locations in the Maricopa County region, as well as Casa Grande and Tucson.
They are an established business of over 30 years, complying with all applicable codes and laws at each
facility. Arizona Propane has the experience of working with all municipalities, codes and agencies, in
order to run their day to day facilities.
The parcel is currently a vacant lot and parking area located directly along the east side of their offices.
All driveways,drainage,catch basins and parking are in place. 5 Parking spaces will be removed in order
to allow for truck pull up to the proposed dispenser. See the plan.Also we are providing revised parking
calculations on our site plan drawing for reference.
The existing drive thru coffee building, which is vacant, is being proposed as Arizona Propane's pay
station drive thru for patrons. It will be staffed with an attendant,who will come out through the
existing rear door, and fill the patrons tanks. Thus it will be staffed to increase safety as well as better
service. All patrons will pay at the drive thru window for their refils.At this time there is no way to target
the amount of traffic, however it is not anticipated that the traffic will be very much, based upon
propane being a specialized fuel, unlike gasoline, which is used in nearly every vehicle. Refilling of bbq
tanks, and recreational style vehicles, as well as a few propane powered vehicles will be the norm.Thus
traffic will be limited. Due to an attendant on site,the need for handicapped requirements immediately
at the fill station will not be required. (The entire adjacent office building is set up for handicapped
accessibility currently)
The storage tank will be refilled as necessary. A 30 foot standard truck with a 3,000 gal.tank will do the
refilling utilizing the same traffic path indicated for all vehicular traffic on site.This truck complies with
all turning radius requirements. No larger trucks are required.
All building codes, planning and fire ordinances will be complied to.
Arizona Propane would very much like to have this retail sales dispensing station immediately adjacent
to their coroporate offices. It is an integral part of their business,and will help them retain their
corporate offices in fountain hills for years to come.

Arizona Propane—Opticom Gate
jr TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS
INTER OFFICE MEMO
TO: Robert Rodgers, AICP/Senior Planner DATE: 4-15-14
CC: Paul Mood,P.E./Dev. Services Dir.
Dave Ott/Fire Marsh 1
FR: Randy L. Harre E, S, CF RE: Arizona Propane
Town Enginee 1 Stipulation to Upgrade the Emergency
JGate at the Firebrick emergency access
As a stipulation of the Site Plan for the pr posed Arizona Propane site (on the south side of Shea
Blvd. adjacent to the east Town limits),the Engineering Section has requested a stipulation that
the applicant provide a motor-operated, Opticom-controlled, emergency access gate at the
existing emergency access driveway from the far east end of Firebrick Drive into this site.
This motor-operated, Opticom-controlled emergency access gate had been a requirement of
previous plans for this property, but had never actually been constructed. (Reference: "Kern
Plaza", Grant of Easement Map,Note 4 (2006); "Kern Plaza", sealed Grading and Drainage Plan
(2004); "19000 Place", Engineering Building Permit Review Comments (2001); etc.)
With the proposed, increased fire hazard due to the proposed propane tank, dispensing, and
container filling operations,this emergency access gate needs to be constructed with this
proposed project.
There are several emergency uses that this EVP (Emergency Vehicle Pre-emption—i.e. an
Opticom-actuated, motorized) gate provides:
• In a potential propane fire, other fire, or emergency medical need on-site at this Plaza,the
proposed EVP gate allows faster fire/EMT response into the site from Fire Station#2 (the
closest fire station, which lies on Saguaro Blvd. south of Shea Blvd.)via Firebrick Drive.
(Currently, since the existing chain gate at this location has a Fire Department padlock, a
fire truck would have to stop, a firefighter/EMT get out of the truck, unlock and remove
the padlock, physically open the chain gate, and then get back into the truck, in order to
drive through the gate. Note: Although relocation of Fire Station#2 to a Shea Blvd.
location has been under discussion for the past decade,there currently is no approved
funding, nor any current Town commitment,to relocate this fire station.)
• This gate provides emergency vehicle access to the east side of a potential emergency
scene (fire or EMT) on or along Shea Blvd., east of Monteray Drive.
• This gate provides the ONLY available, potential Shea Blvd. traffic rerouting around
(especially a medium-to-long-term) emergency scene on or along Shea Blvd., from west
of Cereus Wash to the east Town limit(and the BEST available emergency traffic
rerouting for Shea Blvd., from Saguaro Blvd. to the east Town limit).
