NORTH: Shea Blvd and Crossroads Convenience Center zoned "C-2 PD"
Page 1 of 4
SOUTH: Firebrick Drive and Single Family Residential Homes; zoned"R1-43"
EAST: Shea East Plaza; zoned"C-1"
WEST: Firerock Resort Casitas; zoned"R-5"
BACKGROUND:
The Firerock Plaza development plan was approved in March of 2006, the Town Council approved a Development
Agreement under Resolution #2006-13. The Development Agreement was recorded on April 20, 2006.
Firerock Plaza, LLC received a Building Permit on October 19, 2006. This application is a request to extend the amended
and approved concept plan, and Special Use Permits (2007) so as to allow the southernmost end unit in the plaza to re-
design the unit as well as the nearby parking area in order to create a drive-thru lane and pull up window. The request also
asks for an extension of the approval for extended hours of operation (6:00 AM start time).
Firerock Plaza is currently a mostly-vacant retail strip center that is 18,767 square feet in size. The project has a
primarily stucco exterior finish with stone and wrought iron accents. The height of the building is approximately 21' feet
at the highest point from natural grade
EVALUATION:
Concept Plan CP#2007-01
Project Data
The previously approved concept plan revisions are in Unit 1 of the Firerock Plaza development. Revisions include a re-
arranged parking area on the south end of the building, a drive-thru travel lane and window, and an outdoor patio/dining
area.
Access, Sidewalks, Parking, Loading and Refuse
Access to the site is from an entrance off of Shea Boulevard. All parking and loading requirements are met on the site. A
total of 113 parking spaces including five which are ADA accessible are provided. The project has one loading space on
the rear side behind the building.
The project also provides one additional refuse enclosure area on the southwest side of the lot. All the loading space and
the trash enclosure areas are centrally located and easily accessible.
The project design does not allow vehicular access from Firebrick Drive. However, pedestrian access from Firebrick Drive
is provided.
The drive-thru area would provide for stacking of a minimum of eleven vehicles as required by the zoning ordinance. The
drive-thru exit has been designed so as to not unduly affect the internal site traffic flow.
The outdoor patio/dining area will be enclosed within a 42"tall wrought iron fence with two self-closing gates. This area is
intended for the exclusive use of whatever restaurant occupies the end suite.
Special Use Permits
Drive-Thru Window SUP#2007-04
The Zoning Ordinance states that a drive-thru window is allowed in a C-1 zoning district only by Special Use Permit.
The Special Use Permit was originally granted in 2007 however it was never acted upon. The applicants are requesting
that the Special Use Permit be reinstated.
Hours of Operation SUP#2007-05
The C-1 Zoning District only allows businesses to operate between 7:00 AM and 11:00 PM. The original applicant did not
intend the facility to operate 24 hours and asked that the facility be allowed to open as early as 6:00 AM. The applicant did
not ask to extend the evening hours. The Zoning Ordinance states that extended hours of operation may only be
approved by the Town Council by Special Use Permit. The Special Use Permit was originally granted in 2007 however
it was never acted upon. The applicants are requesting that the Special Use Permit be reinstated.
Outdoor Patio/Dining Area SUP#2007-06
The Zoning Ordinance states that outdoor dining areas in a C-1 zoning district may be allowed only by Special Use
Permit. The Special Use Permit was originally granted in 2007 however it was never acted upon. The applicants are
Lrequesting that the Special Use Permit be reinstated.
Risk Analysis (options or alternatives with implications):
Denial of the extension requests will result in the project not being permitted to modify the end suite so as to include a
drive-thru window or to create an outdoor seating area as previously approved.The subject unit will most likely be
occupied by a non restaurant retail or office use.
Fiscal Impact(initial and ongoing costs; budget status): No fiscal impact is anticipated.
Staff Recommendation(s):
CONCEPT PLAN (Case#CP2007-01)
Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission approve the extension of the Concept Plan approval as
presented subject to the following original stipulations:
1. Development in accordance with the Concept Plan set consisting of nine sheets; dated 03/14/07.

3. No occupancy permit shall be issued prior to the completion of all site improvements as depicted and
approved. Said improvements must be approved by both the Town Engineer and the Planning
Administrator.
4. Hours of operation may be from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM.
SPECIAL USE PERMITS
Staff recommends that the Planning &Zoning Commission forward to the Town Council a recommendation to approve the
Stair three Special Use Permit extension requests subject to the stipulations contained in the Concept Plan approval.

2.) to allow extended hours of operation (Case#SU2007-05)
3.) to allow an outdoor patio/dining area (Case#SU2007-06)

FOUNTAIN HILLS TOWN COUNCIL
MARCH 7,2013
IDAGENDA ITEM #15 - CONSIDERATION WITH POSSIBLE DIRECTION TO STAFF TO INITIATE A ZONING
ORDINANCE AMENDMENT PERMITTING A MOVIE THEATER AS A PERMITTED USE WITHIN THE Cl ZONING
DISTRICT. THIS ITEM WAS ADDED AT THE REQUEST OF VICE MAYOR ELKIE AND COUNCILMEMBERS
BROWN AND YATES.
Councilmember Yates discussed this agenda item and explained that several years ago he was Co-Chair of the General Plan
Amendment committee and a movie theater was listed specifically as something the Town might want to do.He said that it is a retail
operation and it seems to make sense to include that as an additional use within the C 1 District.He added that he believes there are
five possible sites and said that Mr.Rodgers will provide information on that aspect(two on Shea and three other possible sites).He
noted that there is no specific project or developer at this point in time--but after speaking with some other land owners in Town that
have Cl properties about land uses,it was determined that Cl was omitted and that Cl seems to make sense for this type of operation
(including it as an additional use).
Councilmember Leger requested that Mr.Rodgers display the map of the Cl areas they are addressing this evening for the benefit of
the public.He also asked what the permitted uses in Cl are currently and why movie theaters were excluded.
Mr.Rodgers advised that the uses include general neighborhood commercial,light retail,office--general uses that are neighborhood
related.
Councilmember Leger questioned whether theaters were eliminated due to the proximity to residential development and Mr.Rodgers
said probably.
Councilmember Leger referred to the map that was displayed in the Council Chambers and requested that Mr.Rodgers explain where
those areas(orange areas on map)are located.(Copy of the map available on line and in the office of the Town Clerk.)
Mr.Rodgers complied with Councilmember Leger's requested and reviewed the map and Cl locations.
Councilmember Dickey asked whether this is something that would have to go to Planning&Zoning and Mr.Rodgers responded that
it would.
Councilmember Hansen said that in looking at the identified areas,there doesn't seem to be any that would be able to handle a theater,
they all seem pretty small.She added that perhaps the Fry's site would be the only one.
Mr.Rodgers provided examples and stated that the vacant lot behind McDonalds is five acres in size,the vacant lot that is a little bit
down Shea by Chase Bank across the street from Monterrey is also five acres in size and the vacant lot at the beginning of the Ellman
Property is about eleven to twelve acres in size.He added that he is not sure how large a site would have to be for a theater.
Councilmember Hansen commented that they are talking about a pretty big box and certainly on Monterrey that would be next to
residential.She explained that she is trying to find out where a comfortable fit would be for a theater in the identified Cl areas.
Mayor Kavanagh stated that if someone came in with a proposal they would obviously have to design their project to fit on the
selected site.
Councilmember Yates concurred with the Mayor's statement and added that they obviously could not put a 14 or 16 screen theatre on
a five-acre site.He said this would give another option for a developer to choose to put in a smaller theater with perhaps 6 to 8 screens
in order to fit the site.He noted that fast food,full-service restaurants and several other components are allowed in the Cl District and
as far as the discussion about what type of development they would like to see and what would be more traffic friendly,those uses
generate far more traffic than a movie theater that has shows every two hours or so.He reiterated that there is no project on the table
but through discussions with some developers,and they have spoken with some of the land owners,they indicated that this might be
something to consider.He confirmed that he is not saying that they should have a movie theater in all of the identified areas.
The Mayor said that she believes Councilmember Yates is saying that if they change the zoning,and then if a developer who wants to
construct a small movie theater does approach the Town,they will have the option to find a suitable location.
Councilmember Yates agreed with the Mayor's summation.
Councilmember Leger asked whether what they would be doing is changing the permitted uses or the zoning and Mr. Buchanan
confirmed that the Council would be changing the permitted uses.
Councilmember Leger commented that since this has to go to Planning&Zoning he would like to know what the Town Manager is
looking for at this point in time.
Mr. Buchanan replied that staff is looking for direction from the Council as to whether or not to take this to Planning&Zoning for
consideration and recommendations.
There were no citizens wishing to speak on this agenda item.
Councilmember Yates MOVED to request that Planning&Zoning look at the proposal to add movie theaters as a permitted use under
Cl Zoning and Councilmember Brown SECONDED the motion, which CARRIED by majority vote with Vice Mayor Elkie
abstaining(7-0).

requirements so that lots must remain within 90% of the average of like-zoned surrounding properties within 800' when lot
dimensions are altered or lots are re-platted.
The Planning & Zoning Commission Initiated this amendment, to delete Section 3.08.H the Fountain Hills Subdivision
Ordinance and Section 5.03.B of the Zoning Ordinance at their regular meeting of March 14, 2013.
During discussion, members of the Commission expressed concerns that these regulations are not uniform in their effects
on all properties within the same area and actually unfair to some properties due to large adjacent parcels. The
,ommission noted that the standard bulk and coverage controls of the underlying zoning districts such as building
setbacks, lot coverage maximums, and disturbance allowances should be sufficient and that these particular ordinance
sections are over burdensome.

Subdivision Ordinance - Article 3
SUBDIVISION DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND STANDARDS
Section 3.08 Lot Planning
A. Lot width and area shall comply with the minimum requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, including
subsection H. below, and shall be appropriate for the location and character of development proposed and
for the type and extent of street and utility improvements being installed. In general, urban densities
must have urban street and utility improvements. The term "urban improvements" is interpreted to mean
paved and curbed streets, sidewalks, local storm drainage system, public water supply, fire protection and
public sanitary sewerage. Street lights may be required at the direction of the Town Council.
Where steep topography (exceeding 10 percent), unusual soil conditions, drainage problems, abrupt
changes in land use or heavy traffic on adjacent streets or any other condition exists or can be shown to
occur that would not allow a lot to be buildable without some variance or waiver, the Town Council may
deny the creation of the lot.
B. All proposed lots must be developable without the need of a variance, waiver or any further
discretionary approvals from the Town. Prior to final plat approval the Town may require additional
documentation, including but not limited to engineered concept site plans, for lots with questionable
developability.
C. All lot depths shall be at least 95 feet and the depth-to-width ratio of the usable area of the lot not
greater than three to one (See Exhibit 19).
D. All lots shall have frontage as required by the appropriate zoning district on a fully dedicated, accepted
and improved public street that meets all Town requirements unless otherwise approved through a
Planned Unit Development (See Exhibit 19).
E. Side lot lines shall be substantially at right angles or radial to street lines, except where other
treatment may be justified in the opinion of the Town Council (See Exhibit 20).
F. Through lots shall not be permitted. An undevelopable tract of land, at a minimum depth equal to at
least 20 feet or the street-side yard setback requirement of the zoning district within which the subdivision
is located, shall be shown on the final plat between the rear and street side lot line(s) of all lot(s) and the
abutting street right-of-way (See Exhibit 21). In subdivisions where all of the lots are at least 18,000
square feet in size and are not graded with the subdivision improvements, a no-build or other comparable
easement may be platted, at the Town's discretion, instead of the separate tract of land.
G. Single residential lots on curvilinear streets shall have rear lot lines consisting of a series of straight
lines with points of deflection occurring only at the junction of side and rear lot lines unless otherwise
approved. Curvilinear rear lot lines with a minimum radius of 800 feet will be permitted (See Exhibit 22).
H. In addition to meeting the minimum lot width and lot area regulations of the Zoning Ordinance, any
proposed single-family zoned lot shall have a lot width and lot size that is consistent with the lot widths
and lot sizes of existing platted lots in the immediate vicinity. Lot width consistency shall mean that no lot
shall be created having less than ninety (90) percent of the lot width of the average of all platted lots in
the same zoning district that are located within 800 feet of the proposed lot. Lot size consistency shall
mean that no lot shall be created having less than ninety (90) percent of the lot size of the average of all
platted lots in the same zoning district that are located within 800 feet of the proposed lot.

AGENDA ITEM #2 — PUBLIC HEARING of ORDINANCE #2013-03, an amendment to •
Chapter 6, Section 6.08 — Signs, of the Zoning Ordinance. If adopted, the amendment would
revise the circumstances under which promotional banners may be used by businesses.
Robert Rodgers gave a brief informational presentation to the Commission. Mr.Rodgers pointed
out that the Town Council indicated their desire to amend the Sign Ordinance to allow •
businesses to erect promotional banners without the requirement that they be tied to outdoor
event activities. Mr. Rodgers added that the proposed amendment will provide for businesses to
erect promotional banners for up to 14 days per calendar month (in 7-day minimum increments)
subject to staff review and approval. The requirement that some outdoor event activity also be
present has been eliminated.
Mr. Rodgers stated that staff recommended that the Planning and Zoning Commission forward a
recommendation to the Town Council to approve the proposed zoning amendment,as presented.
Public Hearing Opened at 6:34 p.m.
PJ .Britt a Fountain Hills small business owner spoke to the Commission regarding signs and
banners. She requested that feather banners be allowed to be placed out near roadways for better
visibility. (Exhibit"A")
Public Hearing Closed at 6:35 p.m.
AGENDA ITEM #3 — CONSIDERATION of ORDINANCE #2013-03, an amendment to
Chapter 6, Section 6.08 — Signs, of the Zoning Ordinance. If adopted, the amendment would
•
revise the circumstances under which promotional banners may be used by businesses.
Chairman Lloyd Pew asked if the Commissioners had any questions or comments regarding this
agenda item.
Commissioner Gene Slechta pointed out that the entry in the column of the banner table labeled
"Type of Event"was "Type of Event or Promotion", which suggested to him something special
or something out of the ordinary. Commissioner Slechta stated that he sees this as a creeping
misuse of banners, intended for temporary use,now being used as virtually permanent signs.
Commissioner Mike Archambault made a MOTION to forward a recommendation to approve
the amendment to Chapter 6. Section 6.08 — Signs, of the Zoning Ordinance, as presented.
Commissioner Stan Connick SECONDED. The MOTION passed 3-1, with Commissioner
Gene Slechta casting the nay vote.
AGENDA ITEM #4—DISCUSSION with possible direction to staff regarding INITIATING
either the revision or deletion of Section 3.08.H of the Fountain Hills Subdivision Ordinance. In
addition to the underlying zoning requirements, Section 3.08.H currently imposes additional lot
width and area requirements so that lots must remain within 90% of the average of surrounding
properties when lot dimensions are altered or lots are re-platted.
Page 2 of 5
illi
Chairman Lloyd Pew requested this item be placed on the agenda for initiation. Chairman Pew
stated that the Commission had three choices:
1. Make revisions to Subdivision Ordinance Section 3.08; Paragraph 3.08.1i.
2. Delete Paragraph 3.08.H.
3. Do nothing and leave Paragraph 3.08.H,as stated.
Chairman Pew added that 3.08.H has always been confusing to him and a unique ordinance. He
continued that we already have zoning districts with minimum requirements on lot sizes and
3.08.H makes it difficult to average when determining if a lot line adjustment could be justified
between two adjoining plats. Chairman Pew added that under this paragraph staff had to
consider and calculate the different lot sizes within 800 feet within a zoning district. Chairman
Pew stated that he did not see the benefit that paragraph 3.08.H served to the planning process.
Commissioner Archambault asked Mr. Rodgers if the Commission considers eliminating
paragraph "H", how that would affect Section 3.08. Mr. Rodgers explained that it would not
change density calculations required in the lots in the zoning districts. He added that "H"just
added additional requirements by adding the 90% of the average area of surrounding lots, plus
lots must have at least 90%of the average lot width at a minimum.
Mr. Rodgers and Chairman Lloyd Pew both agreed that they had not experienced this type of
rule in any other subdivision ordinance they have worked with.
:0
Chairman Lloyd Pewpointed out that if propertyowners agreed to move a simple property line
Y g P P P Y
i.e. because of a driveway issue or wall, this paragraph could make it hard to accomplish and
pass the test because of a few large lots in the area.
Commissioner Gene Slechta wanted to explain why leaving 3.08.H in the Subdivision Ordinance
could possibly benefit zoning districts. Commissioner Slechta used the reference such as R I-1 8,
where all the lots in the neighborhood were one-acre and the property owners wanted to keep all
properties one-acre lots. If one property owner wanted to split his lot, this could be an issue with
the surrounding property owners in that zoning district. Commissioner Slechta suggested
possibly changing the 90% rule or using a minimum lot size instead of an average.
Commissioner Slechta supported a revision that didn't complicate the issue.
Chairman Lloyd Pew confirmed his position by requesting staff research the possibility of
allowing minor lot line adjustments without calculations.
Commissioner Archambault reminded the Commissioner that any lot line adjustments would
required the lot to demonstrate the ability to be buildable.
Chairman Pew made a MOTION to support the deletion of 3.08.H from the Subdivision
Ordinance and directed staff to initiate the ordinance change. Commissioner Mike Archambault
SECONDED and the MOTION carried 4-0.

AGENDA ITEM#20- CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE 00-08,AN AMENDMENT
TO SECTION 308 OF THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE FOR THE TOWN OF
FOUNTAIN HILLS THAT WOULD PROVIDE ADDED REGULATIONS FOR
MINIMUM LOT WIDTHS AND LOT SIZES FOR PROPOSED LOTS IN SINGLE-
FAMILY ZONING DISTRICTS TO ASSURE COMPATIBILITY WITH
SURROUNDING PLATTED PROPERTIES.
Director Valder stated that over the past couple of years the Town had several lot splits,which
had become contentious. The property owner's success in splitting lots had,that in the opinion of
many,created lots that weren't compatible with the surrounding lots in the single family area. He
reviewed that the Planning and Zoning Commission had asked staff to look into a way that
wouldn't prohibit lot splits but would add regulations to ensure compatibility with those single
family zoned lots in the same zoning district. He acknowledged that it had been a challenge. He
explained that what staff proposed was to amend the subdivision code regarding lot planning. He
said the proposed amendment would be contained in"Paragraph H". The amendment stated that
each new lot had to be at least 90%of the lot size and width of any other lots in the same zoning
district,which were within 800'of the new lot.
• He clarified that the regulations would only apply if a subdivision were proposed. He stated it
would not create any legal lots that weren't conforming to the Town's existing regulations or
zoning district. He reviewed that the amendment would not apply to unplatted land but would
apply to lots that had already been platted. He said staff recommended approval.
Councilman Poma MOVED to approve Ordinance 00-08 as presented and Councilman Wyman
SECONDED the motion.
Councilman Mower clarified this was an effort to prevent incompatible lot splits and didn't see
the wording"lot splits" in paragraph H. Director Valder said he was correct and clarified this
was a long way of saying lot splits. Councilman Poma stated that staff would use Paragraph H
instead of using the words"lot splits".
The motion CARRIED unanimously.

Section 1. Article III of The Subdivision Ordinance of the Town of Fountain Hills is hereby
amended as shown below. New language is shown as being double-underlined and
language to be deleted is shown as being eeessed-out.
ARTICLE III— SUBDIVISION DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND STANDARDS
308. Lot Planning.
A.Lot width and area shall comply with the minimum requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance,including subsection H. below, and shall be appropriate for the location and
character of development proposed and for the type and extent of street and utility
® improvements being installed. In general, urban densities must have urban street and
utility improvements. The term "urban improvements" is interpreted to mean paved
and curbed streets, sidewalks, local storm drainage system, public water supply, fire
Page 1 of 3
protection and public sanitary sewerage. Street lights may be required at the direction
of the Town Council.
Where steep topography (exceeding 10 percent), unusual soil conditions, drainage
problems, abrupt changes in land use or heavy traffic on adjacent streets or any other
condition exists or can be shown to occur that would not allow a lot to be buildable
without some variance or waiver,the Town Council may deny the creation of the lot.
B. All proposed lots must be developable without the need of a variance, waiver or any
further discretionary approvals from the Town. Prior to final plat approval the Town
may require additional documentation, including but not limited to engineered concept
site plans,for lots with questionable developability.
C.All lot depths shall be at least 95 feet and the depth-to-width ratio of the usable area of
the lot not greater than three to one(See Exhibit 19).
D. All lots shall have frontage as required by the appropriate zoning district on a fully
dedicated, accepted and improved public street that meets all Town requirements unless
otherwise approved through a Planned Unit Development(See Exhibit 19).
E. Side lot lines shall be substantially at right angles or radial to street lines, except where
other treatment may be justified in the opinion of the Town Council(See Exhibit 20).
F. Through lots shall not be permitted. An undevelopable tract of land,at a minimum depth

• within which the subdivision is located,shall be shown on the final plat between the rear
and street side lot line(s) of all lot(s) and the abutting street right-of-way (See Exhibit
21). In subdivisions where all of the lots are at least 18,000 square feet in size and are not
graded with the subdivision improvements, a no-build or other comparable easement
may be platted,at the Town's discretion,instead of the separate tract of land.
G.Single residential lots on curvilinear streets shall have rear lot lines consisting of a series
of straight lines with points of deflection occurring only at the junction of side and rear
lot lines unless otherwise approved. Curvilinear rear lot lines with a minimum radius of
800 feet will be permitted. (See Exhibit 22).
H. n addition to meeting the minimum lot width and lot area regulations of the Toning
Ordinance,any proposed single-family zoned lot shall have a lot width and lot size that is

FOUNTAIN HILLS TOWN COUNCIL
September 21,2000
AGENDA ITEM#14PUBLIC HEARING ON ORDINANCE 00-19 AMENDING
CHAPTERS 5 AND 10 OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE FOR THE TOWN OF
FOUNTAIN HILLS BY PROVIDING ADDITIONAL REGULATIONS AND
RESTRICTIONS REGARDING LOT SIZE AND LOT WIDTH FOR PROPOSED
SINGLE-FAMILY-ZONED LOTS SO THAT RE-SUBDIVIDED SINGLE-FAMILY-
ZONED LOTS WOULD BE CONSISTENT IN SIZE AND WIDTH OF EXISTING
PLATTED LOTS IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY, CASE NUMBER Z2000-13.
Mayor Morgan recessed the regular session of the Town Council and opened the public hearing at
9:13 p.m.
Director Valder said that a couple of months ago there had been a change to the subdivision code
that addressed the concerns of many residents in Town regarding lot splits in their neighborhoods.
The concern was that property owners of lots whose lot size and width far exceeded the minimum
lot size and width in their neighborhoods were splitting their lots and changing the complexion of
their neighborhood. He said the Planning Commission began work on this by looking at two and
three different ways that the Town had approached this issue. The Commission settled on an
amendment to the subdivision code. It said that if a property owner wanted to split or replat an
existing platted lot, which was in a single family-zoning district, the property owner could not
• exceed the average lot size and width in the same zoning district within 800 feet. He said that the
Council had approved that ordinance amendment#00-08. Since that time input had been
received from some property owners who felt they had not been given the opportunity to testify
on that because they argued that the amendment to the subdivision ordinance effectively rezoned
their property without the benefit of public hearings or notice. Because it was the intent of staff
and the Town not to exclude people and to make people aware of changes in land use regulations,
staff had initiated this amendment to the zoning code, which was essentially the same language
that now appeared in the subdivision code. Staff wanted to bring this amendment through
advertised public hearings at both the Planning Commission and the Town Council. Property
owners would not only have the opportunity to testify, but when people looked at the
developability of a lot, they won't look at the subdivision code but will look at the zoning code.
He said it was staffs aim to provide that information and language in both sets of the regulations
so that people won't miss it. If people were purchasing property with the thought they might have
the ability to split it, they might see it in the zoning code and would be able to make their decision
accordingly. He said that the Planning Commission had reviewed this on August 10 and
recommended approval. He stated that staff also recommended approval.
Councilman McNeill asked for clarification of the application of this change. Director Valder
said the subdivision regulations were not being changed. This would simply change the
minimum lot width and size of a lot could be for a new lot. Councilman McNeill stated it would
not matter as to what number of lots were being talked about.
Mr. Farrell said it appeared that the criteria would be whether or not this would be a subdivided
parcel as opposed to a metes and bounds legal description. If this lot were within an existing
subdivision regardless of its size, if it were going to be redivided, this application would be
applicable. If it were a metes and bounds tract of land,one that had not be subdivided and wasn't
part of an existing recorded plat, then this application would not be applicable. Two or three
splits of an unsubdivided lot, whether finished or unfinished, was considered a lot split. Four
divisions of unsubdivided parcel, whether built or not, was a subdivision. This would be the
redividing of recorded lots. Metes and Bounds descriptions were not recorded; only plat maps
were recorded.
Mark Van Boeckel, Cabrillo Drive.
He felt it was important to keep the neighborhood character. He was in favor of the amendment.
Mary Vast, Inca Ave.
She felt this amendment would protect the existing neighborhoods.

lUMMARY:
ihis is a request for approval of a Site Plan to permit the establishment of a used auto dealership in
the commercial strip plaza.
Page I of 4
The Fountain Hills Zoning Ordinance, Section 12.02.D.7 states;
Section 12.02 Permitted Uses
D. In C-3 Zoning Districts, the following uses are also permitted:
7. New and used automobile, boats, golf carts, all-terrain vehicles, motorcycles, travel
trailers, recreational vehicle sales and rental including outside display area, provided all
sales and repair activities are conducted within a building and subject to site plan
approval of the Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Council.
The commercial plaza contains approximately 2,000 square feet. The applicant proposes to occupy
two of the four suites for an approximate square footage of 1,000 square feet.
Primary vehicular access and parking in the plaza is via two driveway entrances onto the Saguaro
Boulevard frontage road. The front parking lot is proposed to remain as angled parking with a one-
way traffic flow. Directional arrows will also be added. Access and additional parking and vehicle
storage are also provided from the alley in the rear of the property. The plaza has 8 customer parking
spaces as required by zoning and parking is fully shared within the plaza. A 20' wide travel aisle is
being maintained along the side of the building and within the front parking lot.
The applicant proposes to create a vehicle display area in front of the plaza directly adjacent to the
frontage road. The display area is designed for 5 vehicles and does encroach into the public right of
way, up to the existing curb line. Tire stops will be installed in order to keep vehicles from
overhanging into the travel way in a manner similar to other locations nearby.
An additional single-vehicle display area is also proposed south of the southern entrance to the
parking lot. Both display areas will be appropriately striped and signed.
Staff has reviewed the proposed plans and recommends that the right of way encroachments be
noted but that the applicant be allowed to maintain the display areas as proposed.
EVALUATION:
The Site Plan's development pattern is in conformance with all underlying Zoning Ordinance
requirements. The proposed use is permitted in the C-3 zoning district with Site Plan approval by both
the Planning & Zoning Commission and Town Council.
It is staffs opinion that the proposed design adequately integrates into the existing overall commercial
nature of the area and staff recommends approval of the plan.
Risk Analysis (options or alternatives with implications):
Approval of this Site Plan will allow the used auto dealership to locate at the proposed location.
Denial of this Site Plan will not allow the applicant to locate at the proposed location or, will cause the
applicants to re-design their proposal in an effort to receive an approval.
Fiscal Impact (initial and ongoing costs; budget status): None

Staff Recommendation(s):
The Town Engineer has noted concerns regarding potential sight-line issues if vehicles are parked or
displayed in front near the roadway curb.
Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission approve the Site Plan for "J&D Premier
Auto Sales" subject to the following stipulations:
1. No occupancy permit shall be issued prior to the completion of all site improvements as
depicted and approved. Said improvements must be approved by both the Town Engineer and
the Zoning Administrator.
2. Applicant shall submit an amended Site Plan if necessary showing all notes and revisions
required by this decision to the Zoning Administrator for review and approval prior to
occupancy.
3. Applicant shall be issued an Encroachment Permit which outlines the restrictions for parking
and/or displaying vehicles adjacent to the curb within the Saguaro Blvd Frontage Road as
depicted on the Site Plan. Adherence to the conditions of said permit shall be mandatory.
4. Applicant shall provide measures acceptable to the town that adequately protect the existing
water backflow preventer from vehicular damage as noted in item #4 of the 5/1/2013 Town
Engineer's report.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
Move to approve the Site Plan for "J&D Premier Auto Sales" at 11881 N. Saguaro Blvd subject to the
stipulations outlined in the staff report.

J+D Auto Sales—Recommended Stipulations
TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS
Cor INTER OFFICE MEMO
TO: Robert Rodgers/Senior Planner DATE: 5-1-13
CC: Paul Mood,P.E./Dev. Services Dix.
FR: Randy L. Harrel, P.E. . RE: J+D Auto Sales
Town Engineer �� Recommended Stipulations
J+D Premier Auto Sales' (11881 N. Saguaro Blvd; CP2013-01) Concept Site Plan shows 5
display vehicles plus 1 display vehicle parked partially in the Saguaro Blvd. frontage road right-
of-way, and shows"Additional Parking Inventory" in the parking area behind the building.
PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS/RECOMMENDED STIPULATIONS:
1. Move display vehicles behind the front right-of-way line.
This right-of-way frontage lies on the inside of a horizontal roadway curve, the critical
condition for vehicular sightlines. Virtually the property's full right-of-way frontage is
within vehicular driveway sightlines(from the proposed exit driveway on this property,
as well as from the driveways on both adjacent commercial properties). And,the front 3'
+/-behind the roadway curb lies within the roadway sightline for a northbound vehicle on
the frontage road.
Lir Allowing display vehicles in the public right-of-way as an approved usage also precludes
using this right-of-way for any other public purpose, including for utility boxes, utility
meters, potential future sidewalk, roadway clear zone, vehicular sightlines, frontage
landscaping, etc.
2. Provide a gate at the Alley (normally closed and pad-lockable).
The existing rear masonry wall obstructs vehicular sightline into the Alley at this rear
driveway. Providing a rear gate will eliminate the current casual, blind access onto the
Alley.
3. Verify that the front parking layout provides acceptably sized parking spaces and aisle
widths in accordance with the Town's Zoning Ordinance.
The adequacy of the applicant's proposed drive aisle (and the depth of the existing
parking spaces) cannot be determined from the applicant's drawing. It appears from our
aerial photogrammetry that the existing parking space stripes do not provide the full
parking space depth required by the Zoning Ordinance, and that the proposed drive aisle
will not actually have the width indicated in his site plan.
4. Provide adequate protection from vehicular damage (or relocation) for the existing
water backflow preventer.

REQUEST TO PLANNING &ZONING COMMISSION:
DISCUSSION with possible direction to staff regarding INITIATING amendments to both the Fountain Hills Subdivision
Ordinance and the Fountain Hills Zoning Ordinance in order to allow the conversion of multi-family condominium or
apartment developments to townhouse forms of ownership. Case#Z13-04
Applicant: Joshua Davis
Applicant Contact Information: 12212 N. Desert Sage Dr. Unit B,
Fountain Hills, AZ 85268
(708) 526-3493
Property Location: Town-wide
Related Ordinance, Policy or Guiding Principle:
Fountain Hills Subdivision Ordinance
Fountain Hills Zoning Ordinance
Staff Summary (background):
Over the past few years staff has received numerous requests from real estate agents and residents that we change the
"condominium" designation of certain properties to something else such as "Gemini Home", "Attached Single-Family", or
"Townhouse". The main reason for these requests has been explained as an attempt by residents to finance the purchase
of, or re-finance their condominiums. Apparently, many lenders will not consider anything less than 5 units as a
condominium development. Also, apparently some condominiums aren't being financed by the FHA at all.
The "Townhouse", or"Attached Single-Family" dwelling designations have been cited as titles that seem to meet whatever
criteria the lenders are following for loans. However, as you know, such designations have different land ownership
properties which make them inconsistent with current zoning.
Fountain Hills does not currently allow townhouse development under the ordinances. Issues of lot size, setbacks, unit
density, and construction methods will all have to be considered in order to revise the ordinances to allow such
development.
Staff has received a request from Mr. Davis to amend the ordinances as necessary to allow for the conversion of existing
condominium developments to a townhouse regime. This request has been made by a resident who asks that the
Tanning & Zoning Commission consider initiating the amendment rather than requiring that he officially file an application
for the request.

Townhouse Ordinance
Case#Z13-04
LIn order to better understand and explain the differences between condominium and townhouse forms of ownership, staff
has reviewed a number of definition sources. The following are good examples of the differences between condominiums
and townhouses.
Condominium:
A condominium is generally a complex of housing units, each of which is individually owned. Typically, the owners
have fee simple ownership of their personal unit. The common areas, such as sidewalks, yards, entrances,
hallways, pools, tennis courts, etc. are jointly and proportionally owned by the individuals as tenants in common.
By definition, a condominium has common elements and there is an association of owners organized for the
purpose of maintaining, administering, and operating the common elements. It is a legal form of ownership, NOT
a building style.
Townhouse:
A townhouse is a form of Single-Family attached housing in which each unit has its own front and rear doors that
open to the outdoors but shares one or both side walls with adjacent housing units. There are no units located
above another unit and each unit is separated from any other unit by one or more common fire resistant walls. A
townhouse may have front and rear yards. There are no common elements jointly owned by individual tenants.
This is also a legal form of ownership, NOT a particular building style.
Staff has initially identified the following issues related to this type of amendment:
1. Zoning Ordinance Chapters 11, 12, and 18 would require amendments. Possibly Chapters 2, 5, and 23 as well.
2. Subdivision Ordinance Chapters 2 and 3 would require amendments.
3. Allowing for zero-lot-line development. (PUD, PAD, SUP, or Administrative)
4. Allowing for much smaller lots and higher density than the current underlying zoning would allow.
5. Allow only conversions of existing condominiums rather than permitting new construction of townhouses. (SUP, or
Administrative)
6. Only allowing the conversion from condominium to townhouse regime if construction methods are adequate.
7. Requiring structural modifications prior to conversion if construction methods are not adequate.
The Planning & Zoning Commission is asked whether or not you are agreeable to initiating such an ordinance
amendment, or if you will require that Mr. Davis make official application for a series of amendments such as this.
Risk Analysis(options or alternatives with implications): NA
Fiscal Impact(initial and ongoing costs; budget status): NA
Staff Recommendation(s):
Staff requests direction, through consensus, as to whether or not the Commission is willing to consider initiation of these
amendments. If yes, staff will prepare reports and schedule an initiation hearing. If no, staff will advise the residents as to
their options for formally requesting the amendments.
SUGGESTED MOTION: NA—This item is for discussion only.

Zoning Administrator
Planning and Zoning Division
Dear Zoning Administrator:
Per our discussion on March 5th 2013 I am requesting a change in an Ordinance. I am requesting for
condo to townhouse conversion to all homes deemed Gemini in the town of Fountain Hills. Currently
there are more than two hundred properties deemed Gemini in Fountain Hills, which are actually
condos. Due to the recent crash in the housing market there has been many changes to the
guidelines in receiving a home loan. Cornerstone Mortgage Group, Inc. states,
"The "Gemini" homes - also known as Condos are difficult for financing for owners and buyers
because they do not meet typical Condo Standards with an HOA. It is difficult for Buyers to purchase
these home types with financing, thus limiting the market for the sellers to Cash Only Buyers. These
homes are geared toward first time homebuyers that are just getting started. Many of these
homebuyers need FHA financing for qualifying and these homes cannot be financed with FHA loans.
Additionally Homeowners that have already purchased with cash or with private money that would
like to refinance for better terms or to take some cash out of their equity, they are unable to due to the
property type."
I am hoping to work together with you to help convert Gemini homes into townhomes. This will allow
owners of Gemini homes to refinance and or sell their properties within the new guidelines that are in
place. Currently our hands are tied. Please consider working with all of us who want to be free of
this burden.
Sincerely,
Josh Davis

Dear Commissioners,
•
I currently own a gemini home in Fountain Hills that is on a 10,000 square foot lot, is only attached by a
breeze way and is deemed as a condo.We have had extreme difficulty selling our home because no one
can obtain financing for it since it is deemed a condo.Technically, it is a patio home, however, we would
be happy to knock down the common archway in order to be deemed a town home. I talked to Mike
about a year of two ago about this issue and now I believe its time for something to be done. Please give
me further information and instructions to proceed. Thank you all for your time and effort in this matter.
