COUNCIL DISTRICT: District 5 OWNER: Colebank Family Ltd Partnership & Inter-Coastal Electronics, Inc. – Scott Jackson APPLICANT: Deutsch Architecture Group – Dustin Chisum STAFF PLANNER: Kim Steadman 
PROJECT DESCRIPTION/REQUEST This is a request for site plan review for an 84,405 square-foot light industrial building on 7.77 acres located at the southeast corner of Greenfield Rd. and the Loop 202 within the Falcon Field Sub Area.  This will be the first phase of a two-building industrial development. Phase 1 will provide all required site development, such as parking and retention. for the first building.  A drive aisle connecting the Phase I site southward to Virginia St. runs to the east of Phase II site.  The entire site already has GI zoning, and Site Plan Review is required because the project fronts an arterial.  
NEIGHBORHOOD PARTICIPATION The applicant’s citizen participation plan included mailings to property owners within 1,000 feet of the property as well as homeowner associations within one half mile of the site, and a neighborhood meeting.  The meeting was held September 27th at the Mesa Library, Red Mountain Branch.  The applicant reports that there were no attendants, and that they have not been contacted regarding this project.  A notification of the hearing date was also sent to property owners within 500 feet of the property.  
To date, Planning Staff has not received any phone calls, emails or other inquiries from neighbors on this request.  No citizens addressed this item during the Design Review Board discussion on October 11, 2016. 
CONFORMANCE WITH THE MESA 2040 GENERAL PLAN This property falls within the Character Type of “Employment” as identified by the Mesa 2040 General Plan.  The proposed industrial building conforms to the Plan’s intent for employment-focused uses.  The site and building design follow the Form and Guidelines for such developments.  In addition to consideration of the character area designated by the General Plan, the Innovative Jobs section of the General Plan identified the Falcon Field area one the community’s locations for quality employment centers.  This site is also located within the Falcon Field Sub-Area Plan (per Figure 5-1 of the Plan) and meets its requirements for contemporary or progressive style with clean lines and articulated geometrical forms, innovative design, quality materials and use of color. 
CONCLUSION: The proposed project complies with the intent of the General Plan, the development standards of the Falcon Field Sub Area, and the Zoning Ordinance. Establishing this building type at this key location facilitates attraction of new employers to this section of Mesa where turnkey buildings are in limited supply.  Staff recommends approval with the following conditions:
