The Mesa Planning and Zoning Board on Sept. 23 voted unanimously as part of a consent agenda with another item to recommend the Mesa City Council approve rezoning the 1.3-ace property from planned employment park with a planned-area development overlay to limited commercial and approve a site plan review and special-use permit.
The landscape plan includes mulga and date palm trees; and valentine emu bush, green cloud, sage, lantana and red yucca shrubs, Staff Planner Jennifer Merrill said during a study session prior to the meeting.
“(T)he site plan shows the 4,689-square-foot convenience store and the 4,156-square-foot fuel canopy located in front of the convenience store,” she said. “There are pedestrian connections from Crismon to the convenience store on the north and south, and to the property to the west, behind the convenience store.”
Tim Rasnake of Archicon Architecture & Interiors LLC is the applicant. KFH Crismon & Hampton LLC is the owner.
Terrible’s, a regional retailer founded in 1959, has more than 200 locations throughout Nevada, California, Utah and Arizona, according to a project narrative.
“The property has good vehicular access from the abutting streets along with shared internal access drives. The property was previously entitled/site designed for a quick-service, drive-thru restaurant,” it states. “Fueling operations will be supported by underground storage tanks located on the eastern portion of the site. The canopy structure will provide weather protection for six fuel dispensers arranged to accommodate efficient vehicle circulation and queueing.”
The seven-member Planning and Zoning Board conducts hearings and make recommendations to the city council on requests for changes in zoning and on required site plans. It also considers and recommends changes in the city’s long-range plans and in the municipal code concerning planning and zoning matters. Members are appointed for staggered terms of three years.
