The Waffle Flower Warehouse Rezone project calls for rezoning more than 2 acres from single residence to light industrial for an 18,000-square-foot building.
Developers are requesting that a more than 2-acre site at the northwest corner of East Thomas Road and North 54th Street in Mesa be rezoned from single residence to light industrial.
An ordinance requesting the rezoning was introduced at the Nov. 2 Mesa City Council meeting. The council will take action on the request at a future meeting.
Called the Waffle Flower Warehouse Rezone project, the owner of the 2.4-acre site, Zee Properties LLC, is also requesting site plan approval and a special use permit.
The company plans to build an 18,000-square-foot, single-story industrial building on the northeast portion of the site.
The proposed project would be within the Falcon Field sub area, which is designated for light industrial uses, according to a staff report.
A special-use permit is required for a parking reduction allowing for 19 parking spaces on the site, the report continued.
Along the south side of the proposed building would be the main entrance, and a private garden space would be on the east face of the structure.
“The site provides three access points at the southwest, east and northeast corners of the site. Primary access is provided for the public on the east from 54th Street,” the report stated. “Secondary access is available from Thomas Road to the southwest, reserved primarily for truck deliveries and employees.”
A third entry is provided for SRP access at the northeast corner of the property north of the building.
The proposed building would be east of North Higley Road and north of East Thomas Road in Council District 5.
