The third phase of the 37-acre Cannon Beach surf, shop, gym and multi-use development project south of Warner Road on the east side of Power Road in Mesa will include a KTR indoor action sports playground.
The landscaping and look of an industrial flex building on 3 acres were discussed at the Tuesday, Jan. 10 meeting of the Mesa Design Review Board.
The zoning is light industrial with a planned area development overlay and a council use permit for indoor recreation, Staff Planner Sean Pesek said at the meeting.
“The proposed building is one-story in height, 120,000-square-feet building area. The primary entrance is along the north elevation — it’s under a mezzanine. And beyond that is angled parking that leads to a pedestrian plaza that continues further north to restaurant row,” he said.
Sean Lake of Pew & Lake PLC is the applicant; Power 40 LLC. is the owner.
Phase 1 included a wave lagoon and restaurants, driveways and parking areas; phase 2 included commercial pads fronting Power Road; and phase 3 in this request is adjacent to — and south of — phase 1 and includes a building and its surrounding landscaping, according to a written project narrative from Pew & Lake PLC.
“The building layout, architectural design and landscaping are consistent with the original approval and appropriate for the type of building included in this request. Project design character will evoke the themes and quality expected for this regional mixed-use commercial and recreational destination. Project plans will make the site attractive to businesses seeking to locate in the city of Mesa,” it states.
The all-volunteer Mesa Design Review Board is unique in that its composition is set by the zoning ordinance to include two architects; two from other design professions such as landscape architecture, engineering, urban planning, interior design or other design-related background; one contractor or developer; and two residents, according to the city’s website.
