A look at the drive-thrus at First Credit Union. The credit union is set to be built 250 feet east from the southeast corner of Signal Butte and Queen Creek roads within the Madera Retail Commercial Center.
The Queen Creek Town Council has approved a credit union’s request for a site plan and a conditional-use permit.
The First Credit Union will be located near the southeast corner of Signal Butte and Queen Creek roads.
The council approved the requests as part of its public consent agenda at its Wednesday meeting.
Items on the consent agenda are acted on with one motion and vote following public comments. No members of the community came forward to speak on the requests.
In June, the First Credit Union’s site plan and conditional-use permit were recommended for approval by the Queen Creek Planning & Zoning Commission.
The site plan calls for a 3,541-square-foot First Credit Union office with three drive-thru teller lanes and a walk-up ATM.
The conditional-use permit is required due to the drive-thrus.
The credit union will be built 250 feet east from the southeast corner of Signal Butte and Queen Creek roads within the Madera Retail Commercial Center.
Under the town’s general plan, the property is designated as “neighborhood,” which allows for neighborhood commercial centers, such as the Madera Commercial Retail Center.
The site plan shows that the credit union will meet the minimum parking requirements by providing 14 parking stalls and the Madera Commercial Retail Center will install an additional 15 stalls across from the property.
The drive-thru teller windows will operate within regular business hours, but the ATM will be open 24/7.
The site plan for the retail center was approved by the town in October 2024.
