increasing over-flight activities. He informed the Board the surrounding properties are zoned Office Commercial, Agriculture, and Light Industrial. Mr. McCann stated the existing OC district designations on the neighboring properties are mainly to serve as buffers for the existing surrounding residential uses to the south of the site, and the proposed OC zoning designation on the property is to provide a landscape buffer to the adjacent residential developments. Mr. McCann informed the Board that the applicant is proposing 14 industrial shell buildings on the property and each building will have its own individual rear storage yards that are tailored to smaller industrial users. Mr. McCann further explained that as part of the PAD request, the applicant is proposing a 20-foot reduction to the perimeter landscape yard for non-single residence uses adjacent to AG and OC districts. Specifically, a reduction from 20 feet to 0 feet. The applicant is also requesting a reduction in the required parking for shell industrial buildings from 75% at 1 space per 500 square feet of building area and 25% at 1 space per 375 square feet of building area to 1.3 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of building area.
In summary, Mr. McCann stated that the request conforms with the 2040 General Plan, the Mesa Gateway Strategic Development Plan and the MZO review criteria for both Planned Area Development and Site Plan Review. Therefore, staff is recommending approval with conditions.
Vice Chair Sarkissian inquired if there are parking spaces in front of the buildings. She also stated there appears to be a lot of space in the rear area of the lots and asked if the rear yard would be used for storage. Mr. McCann responded that the type of the proposed development are planned to also have outdoor storage uses, including storage of trailers or vehicles that are used as part of the business operations. Ms. Sarkissian also asked if the buffer on the southern portion of the development will have a screen wall from the parking area on the site to the retention basin, as well as if the area will be open for public access. Mr. McCann responded that the wall will be on the northern side of the OC boundary, leaving the southern portion open to the residents to the south of the site.
