Exparte communication as an outside communication commissioners may have had regarding tonight's items. Is there anyone that has such a thing? Okay. There is one public hearing on the agenda tonight. As a reminder, the planning zoning commission is a recommendation board for the council. The commission will vote on each item and forward the recommendation to council. Council will make the final decision on all items. Agenda item, let's see, number two and three will be presented together. And um agenda item number two is for the resale for Pebble Creek Marketplace. I'm going to open the public hearing. Assistant planner Jimmy Car will present. Good evening, Jimmy. Good evening, Chairman Klemer, members of the commission. Jim Carerion, assistant planner with the city of Goodyear. Just making sure this is on the screen. All right, looks like we're good to good to go. So, I'm here before you this evening uh as you mentioned, Chairman Climer, with two requests. One of which is contingent upon the approval of the other. Uh and for this reason I'll be discussing both requests during my

presentation. The first is a staff initiated reszone to remove the Pebble Creek Marketplace CSP or comprehensive sign package from the zoning the Pebble Creek Marketplace planned area development or P A. The second request from Shirley Lamb is to amend the Pebble Creek Marketplace Comprehensive Sign Package or CSP for short. And this amendment includes an addition of one multi-tenant monument sign as well as allowing users within the bounds of this CSP request to utilize the existing freeway pylon signage. So, I'd first like to talk about the CSP amendment request, a recommendation of approval to to city council for the amendment of the Pebble Creek Marketplace CSP. I just mentioned the bounds of this new amended CSP. The bold yellow outline surrounding both the green and red shaded areas applies to approximately 55 acres of mixeduse commercial and multif family commercial property. There are two separate but adjoining areas each zoned planned area development or pad. One being the Pebble Creek Marketplace mixeduse phase 2 PA AD highlighted in green. The other being the Pebble Creek Marketplace final P A highlighted in red. A CSP for the Pebble Creek Marketplace PA AD has been created and amended twice thus far with council approval. As you can see from the graphic on the screen, the Pebble Creek Marketplace CSP

covers the 25 acre property for the Pebble Creek Marketplace. However, a CSP has never been created for the 30 acre area within the Pebble Creek Marketplace mixeduse phase 2 P A. So, this area currently follows article 7 of the sign regulations of the Goodyear zoning ordinance. So, this request proposes to amend the bounds of the current Pebble Creek Marketplace CSP to include the Pebble Creek Marketplace mixeduse phase 2 PA AD, the area highlighted in green in the prior slide. And although both PADs are separate, they do share an adjoining boundary uh an adjacent boundary. The applicant mentions as well in their narrative that by creating one CSVP for both PADDs, a high quality, cohesive tenant identification program would be established. The same design standards established in the current Pebble Creek Marketplace CSP will now apply to this whole area depicted by the graphic on the screen. Uh this will ensure visual continuity and a consistent branding approach throughout the the broader development. And although the same design standards will carry over to the newly incorporated 30 acre area, there is also request to add one additional multi-tenant monument sign along the Mcdow frontage road. Increasing the multi-tenant monument signs within the CSP from two to three. This new monument sign will provide users with within the new bounds of the CSP, including those in the newly incorporated area, with the opportunity for street frontage advertising along Mcdow Road.

In the graphic, you can see the locations of the two existing monument signs labeled 3-1. So, one's along Mcdow Road, the other along Pebble Creek Parkway. You can also see the new sign located along Mcdow labeled 3-2 and called out with the blue arrow which would be within the bounds of the newly incorporated area. The height and scale of this new monument sign will be the exact same as the two existing monument signs. The only difference to the design as you can see in this graphic would be the tenant panel sizing and quantity. So, the existing multi-tenant monument signs provide two larger full width panels towards the top with six smaller halfwidth panels below. The new multi-tenant monument sign would have six equally sized fulllength panels. And I also felt it prudent to mention that users within the bounds of the newly incorporated Pebble Creek Marketplace uh phase 2 mixeduse PA a will also be able to advertise on the existing freeway pylon sign. This location is located on the northwest corner of Pebble Creek Parkway and Interstate 10 pointed out with the blue arrow here in the bottom right corner. However, there is there is one issue. Uh, typically we would simply amend the existing CSP to include the new design standards. Uh, we can't do that in this case because the Pebble Creek Marketplace CSP was codified into the zoning for the uh, Pebble Creek Marketplace uh, within the Pebble Creek Marketplace P A for the 25 acre site.

So, the inclusion uh just to give a little bit of background, the inclusion of CSPs into zoning was common practice years ago, but is no longer standard practice because any changes to a CSP would create an entire public hearing process that might not be needed for minor changes. Um, a great example is the case before you today. So, this is where the request to reszone comes into play. This rezone request is staff initiated and would remove the Pebble Creek Marketplace CSP from the PA AD document so that council may consider approving the CSP in accordance with conditions found in article 7 signing regulations of the Goodyear zoning ordinance. An alter alternative notification process was used for this reszone. A formal citizen review meeting was not held, but a notice providing information on the reszone was mailed uh to 63 owners of the property within 500 ft of the subject property and other stakeholders. There were no objections to the resone received. So just to reiterate, the justification is so that any future related CSP amendments does not require a PAD amendment to amend the CSP itself. The proposal would consider the CSP a standalone document and therefore would not require modifications to the PAD. So I wanted to show you here on this graphic um the the varying options and so staff has evaluated the impact of both the requests for reszone and the proposed CSP amendment with no major concerns being found. Staff recommends approval for the reszone to remove the

Pebble Creek Marketplace CSP from the Pebble Creek Marketplace final P A document. then subsequently providing your recommendation of approval for the third amendment to the comprehensive sign package for Pebble Creek Marketplace. If you're not inclined to approve this CSP amendment, then I would ask that you not provide a recommendation of approval to council regarding the reszone request. The reason for this is that the reszone would take away the CSP standards already afforded to users within the Pebble Creek marketplace because it would essentially be removing that that CSP from uh removing that CSP entirely. So that concludes my presentation. I'm happy to answer any questions that you may have. There is also an applicant representative uh to answer questions if need be. Okay. Thank you, Jimmy. Uh any questions for Jim for staff? Can you go back to Sure. Can I ask Is it on? Okay. Can you go back to the one that had the green and the red this one? So there's no if it goes to a combined CSP. No current people in the green area are going to have to do anything of sign changes to match what's in the Pebble Creek Marketplace ESP. Like their their signs are good. on their buildings and everything. That's it's okay. Like they they'll just be allowed to do they won't have to make any changes. They could just add to the pylons. Thank you, Commissioner Roberts. So, the request is to provide the same standards, design standards, uh from the Pebble Creek Marketplace CSP over to this green shaded area. So any new signage requests that come in would follow the existing standards for Pebble Creek Marketplace, but none of the

current ones will have to do any updates. It'll just be new sign requests. That's correct. Yeah. So this would be any future related Okay. Thank you. requests. I'm a little confused here. Um it says that the uh the CSP um applies to to all the 55 acres but then you're only removing it from the 25 acres. Okay. So the other thing is in the event that this gets approved is there a need to um amend phase 2 pad because now it's it's going to have a CSP whereas before it doesn't have one. Thank you, Commissioner Numsino. To answer your first question regarding the 55 acre statement uh within my uh report. So the 55 acres is is regarding this request. So this CSP, so this CSP, as you can see in the red shaded area, would be the 55 acres, right? Does that answer your question? But then it only applies to the 25. Yes. So the current the current CSP applies to the red shaded area here, the Pebble Creek Marketplace. That's 25 acres. The new CSP, which is the 55 acre number, would apply to the whole area, both the green and that's the proposed one, not Yes, that's proposed. I got confused with the sentence. And to answer your to answer your uh second question, um there are there is existing construction on the phase 2, the green shaded area. So again, uh to to touch um on uh Commissioner Roberts's question, any new signage would have to conform to the standards uh of this new Pebble Creek Marketplace CSP, which uh again have not been changed. We're just

extending the boundary to incorporate this adjoining uh area. So this is the third proposed amendment. What's the a what's the amendment one and two for? Yes. So the uh the first amendment to the CSP um the original CSP was uh created with the zoning for this for the Pebble Creek marketplace. So, the red shade area, the 25 acre. Um, I will have to look into the details of the the first and second amendments to the the zoning. I don't have those offh hand. I can certainly provide those to you if need be. Those have been a few years ago, I take it. Yes. More than a few years. That's correct. So the only change on this thing as as the rest of these areas gets developed now you're going to have this pylon that that that's going to have all of the businesses right and it doesn't change the regulation for the individual sign right yes sir that's correct so uh because we'll because this CSP request would be incorporating this this new area that would allow users if they choose to do so to advertise on that freeway pylon sign if there were if there was space available which there is currently none. I got question. No, thank you very much. Thank you very much. Okay. Uh would the applicant like to say anything? Okay. My name is Andy Gibson, president of Boots and Duke Sign Company. Uh Commissioner Council, thank you so much for hearing this case. Um, I represented this customer back when the first two amendments that you were talking about, one of them was for the freeway pylon sign. It was originally approved in the CSP, but wasn't built yet. So, we had to go back and amend the CSP to say we're

building that sign. So, that was one of the amendments. And then the other one, I think, was for ground sign location where exactly we were putting the ground signs changed. So, we had to amend that as well. So, I've been involved with this project, I think, since 2007 or eight. Um, so it it's been a longgoing project. Um, my customer came forward and said they want to add another um, monument sign to the second phase, which is the green that's going on to Pebble Creek Marketplace. But what happened when the first case was approved, it was always the intention of everybody from phase two to be able to use that freeway pylon site. But the way it was written into the CSP into the PAB for the property, they weren't allowed to do that. So that's what really really drove this to to go do the different steps to where we're at right now. So um is to allow like potato barn and the other tenants on that second phase to be able to use that pylon pylon sign. There's no sense to add another one since there's five empty spots on the existing pylon. Now it just it was the sole intent of the property for everybody on phase one and two to use that pylon sign. And then with the development of phase two, they had no monument signs at all along McDow Road. So, it makes sense to add a monument sign, which is the same design, the same colors, the same sizes as the other ones that were approved for the center. So, to me, it's um this sign package just kind of makes sense. So, I could answer any other questions that you would have. Well, I guess you can't take action on this number three without taking action on number two. So that's, you know, it's a pretty much given. So Oh, yeah. Yeah. They kind of need to go together. Absolutely. I got a question for Jamie. Is um there any other CSP in the city that's separate from the UD associated with it? There are some older

CSPs uh codified within u pads similar to this to this case. Um, so we wouldn't actually bring those forth to you unless an amendment outside. I'm just saying this is not going to be a president setting. So, so in other words, this is the first in a long time. Historically, I can't speak to it being the first of all time. Um, but like I said, this is this is an old practice of joining the CSP with the zoning itself just because it is a cumbersome process. if a developer or tenant wants to amend the CSP for for minor changes. And so we don't practice that any any longer. So CSPs are their own standalone documents. It's a it's a easier and a quicker process for uh not only staff but but the uh the users themselves. No, to me it makes sense because to make it standalone because if you change that then you're going to have to amend the pad and it becomes complicated at times. So thank you sir. Okay. Thank you, Jimmy. Are there any speaker cards? I have none. Anyone in the audience like to uh speak on this agenda item? Okay. I'm going to close the public hearing. Would the secretary please read the staff recommendation? Recommend approval of the request to reszone the subject property subject to the stipulations included in draft ordinance number 2025 XXX. Is there a motion for the staff recommendation or a motion to recommend denial of the staff recommendation? I have a motion by Commissioner Roberts. What's the motion? Recommend approval. The motion any any motion and second entered onto the screen is a motion for the staff recommendation. Otherwise, you need to voice an alternate motion. That's fine. We have a motion by Commissioner Roberts

and a second by Commissioner Nepoamino. The floor is open for commission discussion. I I find that it it clears things up and makes it easier going forward. I don't see anything problem with it. So, anybody else have anything to say about it? The only thing I like that it it takes these two properties and we have continuity in the sign packages. So, I agree. Yeah. Because as as the rest of the property gets developed, then you only have to amend the CSP, not the entire pod. So, it makes sense to me. Okay. Call for the vote. Okay. Please enter your vote. Commissioner Hegodus, how do you vote? I. Thank you. Motion passed. The recommendation of approval will be forwarded to the city council for the June 23rd meeting. Okay, thank you. That concludes the public hearings. Now we have business to uh attend to. Agenda item number three is the CSP. Is the CSP for Pebble Creek Marketplace which was presented with the last item. Any questions for staff? No. Nope. I don't think so. No speaker cards. Not a public hearing. So on to will the secretary please read the staff recommendation? Okay. Recommend approval of the Pebble Creek Marketplace third amended comprehensive sign package dated May 2025 subject to stipulations. Is there a motion for the staff recommendation or a motion to recommend denial of the staff recommendation? I have a motion by Commissioner Nepomsino and a second by Commissioner Roberts. The floor is open for commission discussion.

I think we've locked it up, so we'll continue to go ahead. Okay. Please enter your vote. Commissioner Hegis, how do you vote? I vote I. Thank you. Okay. Motion passed. The recommendation for approval will be re uh forwarded to the city council for the June 23rd meeting. Okay. Next item, agenda item number four is the CSP for airport gateway and Jimmy is back to present that please. Thank you. Thank you again, Chairman Climber. At this rate, I should be a pro in no time, huh? Uh so the request before you now is uh from Stan Beard to recommend approval of the airport gateway at Goodyear second amended comprehensive sign package. Um, and this CSP includes provisions for adjustments to sign types and height allowances and is subject to stipulations. The airport gateway at Goodyear CSP applies to approximately 200 acres as shown in the graphic here and encompasses mixeduse industrial, commercial office, multifamily, and single family zoning designations. The area highlighted in red encompasses roughly 48 acres and was reszoned business park for business park-like uses within urban logistics now known as formation 10 and has its own separate CSP titled formation park 10. So today's request will not apply to this red shaded area. The first CSP for this site was approved by the development review committee in 2008 and then was subsequently amended in 2018 by city council. In the first amended CSP, an additional 40 acres along Lichfield Road was added

to the boundary of this CSP along with additional sign standards for the large medical facility tenant. The area highlighted in green here encompasses roughly 71 acres and was recently reszoned in 2024 to planned area development with an underlying zoning district of I1 or light industrial with a P A overlay. This PAD overlay permitted additional C2 or general commercial uses as a stipulation of approval and one of those uses being a retail store or convenience store that exceeds 50,000 square ft in size with a gas station with fueling pumps and canopies referred to as large retail user with gas station in the ordinance. Another stipulation of approval from this reszone was the allowance of two freeway pylon signs on the property without obtaining a use permit. It was subject to two provisions. The first being a single-user freeway pylon sign may be permitted if a single user is a retail store, convenience store, or other commercial development that exceeds 50,000 square ft in size. And then secondly, that the freeway pylon sign would not exceed 85 ft in height. The first request proposes to replace the design of one previously approved freeway pylon sign. The new design theme will create standards for a single tenant freeway pylon sign that may be utilized by the large retail user with gas station. The height of the amended freeway pylon sign shall be no greater than 85 ft as mentioned before uh which

adheres to the stipulation stipulations approved with the 2024 reszone. And this graphic shows you the two originally approved freeway pylon sign designs and a rendering of the proposed design update for the large retail user with gas station titled Pylon 1C. You can see that a decorative stone base has been added to the sign which will match the material being used on that large retail users building. The applicant believes this design provides ample signage to motorists traveling at high speeds along Interstate 10, allowing them sufficient time to safely and timely exit the freeway if they wish to visit that location. The second request proposes to provide wall signage for the large retail user with gas station that exceeds the wall signage standards provided in the current airport gateway at Goodyear CSP. Given the intended building scale of the large retail user with gas station, which is unique and unlike any other development within the city, as you may know, staff finds the proposed sizes, heights, and configurations of the intended signage are appropriate and supportable. The third and final request proposes to provide canopy signage for the large retail user with gas station that exceeds the canopy signage standards. provided in article 7 signed regulations of the Goodyear zoning ordinance. As I mentioned in my prior slide, given the intended building scale of the large retail user with gas station and its associated fuel canopies, staff finds that the proposed heights, sizes, and configuration of the canopy signage to be appropriate. And here on the screen is a graphic representation of that

canopy signage being proposed relative to the fuel canopies themselves. Staff has evaluated the impact of this proposed CSP. No major concerns were found. The request meets the evaluation criteria for a CSP as set forth in article 7 signed regulations of the Goodyear zoning ordinance. Uh and just to recap, this amendment has three major updates. The first being the freeway pylon sign design update, second increase wall signage, and lastly, increased canopy signage. All of which apply to the large retail user with gas station. All other sign requirements for every other user within the airport gateway at Goodyear CSP will remain unchanged. So, no other changes. Staff recommends approval of the airport gateway at Goodyear comprehensive sign package. This concludes my presentation and I can answer any questions. An applicant representative is also present. Okay. Any questions for staff? You go back to the which one? Um no to to the first one. Go back to the map. Where will the signs be located in this in this site? All right, my mouse here. So, so this the freeway pylon sign will be located along Interstate 10. Okay. Um the actual building itself is going to be oriented north south in this area here. So, this is it's within the area of the rezone. And so, there will be building signage along the north, the east, the west, and the east. And the fuel canopies will be just to

the east of the the the building or I'm sorry, the fuel canopies will be west of the building closest to Bullard Avenue. Um, and for the fuel canopy signage, you'll have fuel canopy signage on the northern elevation, the western elevation, and the eastern elevation. No canopy signage is proposed on the southern elevation. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. Uh any the applicant want to say anything? Okay. Okay. Very good. All right. Any speaker cards? I have none. No. Anyone in the audience want to speak on this item? Okay. Will the secretary please read the staff recommendation? Okay. Recommend approval of the airport gateway at Goodyear second amended comprehensive sign program dated May 2025. the airport gateway at Goodyear comprehensive sign program subject to stipulations. Is there a motion for the staff recommendation or a motion to recommend denial of the staff recommendation? I have a motion by Commissioner Nepomomasino and a second by Commissioner Roberts. The floor is open for commission discussion. I think a lot of people were getting anxious to see that Bucky sign sitting out there. They can drive to it. I've heard people call me from out of town saying, "When is that going to be open? We might want to come drive." Okay, let's call the vote. Please enter your vote. Commissioner Hegodus, how do you vote? I'm an I. Thank you. Motion passed. The recommendation of approval will be forwarded to city council for the June 23rd meeting. And on to business item number five. We have more signs. This is the agenda item

five. Uh CSP for Canyon Trails Town Center. Planning manager Christian Williams or Pernette. Good evening Christian. Good evening chairman. As usual figured I'd give Jimmy a break because as you can tell he's had a very busy month. here before you this evening with a request from Scottsdale Development Partners to request an amendment to a comprehensive sign package CSP for short as you're well aware at this point in the hour for a 91 acre commercial and mixeduse multifamily development called Canyon Trails Town Center. A little history on the property in 1999 the whole Canyon Trails development phase one was reszoned to a mix of commercial and residential uses. In 2005, the site in yellow, which is 91 acres, was reszoned for Canyon Trails Town Center that was reszoned from residential and commercial to entirely commercial. And in 2005, at that same time, um, a comprehensive sign package was approved. One component of that that we'll be discussing today were the three monument signs, and I'll discuss those three monument signs on the next slide. And in 2021, as many of you are aware, um a reszone for 12.7 acres was conducted to create a mixeduse field of that center. And now you have those Senate at Canyon Trails apartments on the north side. So a I forgot I have little click things. All right. So uh as part of the 2005 CSP, the current monument signs were um going to be placed. It was understood that the loop 303 would be coming through the area and an approximately 500 foot 500 foot wide corridor. So as a part of that it was uh aware the city was aware that those monument signs needing to be on the property would be very far from where drivers would be able to see them probably five times as far as most monument signs. So it was a it was agreed for that process that the monument signs could be located

temporarily in the city rideofway until the time that the loop 303 was needed by AOT and that time is now. So loop 303 is needed. The monument sign need to be removed. So, the request for this CSP is actually just to relocate the signs about 150 to 200 feet away onto the applicant's property so that the freeway construction can take place. So, they will literally be picking them up, not as easily as I just did, and and moving them onto their property. So, that is what this amendment does. So with that, staff is recommending that you forward an approval recommendation to amend the Canyon Trails Town Center comprehensive sign package in order to allow those three monument signs to move about 150 to 200 ft away onto the private property. And as a note, any future amendments to monument signs or freeway pylon signs or any of those things will come back before you for an amendment to the CSP if they are requested in the future. With that, happy to answer any questions. Okay, any questions for staff? See, you said this is just relocating the sign. So, not everything else remain the same. So, why is there a need for this commission to look at this instead of just the office approving it? Great question. Because the provision in the uh sign package was about having those signs be located on rightway and it stated that if there were amendments to those signs or their locations, it would come back before this board. Okay, good enough. Okay. So, we have it. Okay. Thank you. Okay. And there's I don't think there's any reason to talk to the applicant. Uh it sounds straightforward. So, is there any Oh, hi. There they are. Got a qu got something. Oh, okay. Well, then please shoot. Yeah, if you can please come up. I apologize. I was I was ready to deny it. Oh, come on.

That's okay. Um, David Min with Scottsdale Development Partners. I'm a development consultant for the owner of the center, which is Canyon Trails Investments LLC. Uh, just a little bit of history. Um, I actually was the original developer of the center. Started working on it in 2003. We did get the approvals in 2005. Uh, the center opened in 2008. The freeway, the Loop 303, was supposed to be built by 2010. Just just like the new shopping center. Yeah, exactly. So, um it's been a long long difficult road as you can imagine and we're basically here basically we are hoping this is just an interim step. There were actually two parts to the stipulation to the site plan approval as it relates to these monuments. One is when the construction starts for the loop 303, we're required to remove those signs out of your rightway. So, we're here today to for the approval to relocate them now back onto the shopping center property. The second part though that I wanted to mention is is that the um the stipulation then goes on to say that we have the right subject to your review and approval. We have the right to erect freeway pylons up to 65 ft tall. That's important because the freeway that's going to be built is going to be elevated. So we're here today sort of as an interim step. We want your approval for the relocation of the existing 20 foot tall monuments back onto our property, but the reality is they won't be seen by motorists on the freeway because the freeway will be elevated. So, we need to get those signs moved onto our property by September 1st. That's the magic date when ADOT says they're going to start

construction. So, we're working with staff now on the feasibility of converting one or more of these monument signs into freeway pylons. We're really excited that we're finally going to be on a freeway and not on Cotton Lane. And so, if things work out like we hope with staff on that feasibility, we hope to be back in front of you to amend our monuments to freeway pylons. So, you're coming back for the increase height and and new signs. Right now, we're just re literally picking up and relocating the existing signs. Well, thank you. And I'm sure we'll be happy to see. Thank you. Okay. Appreciate it. Okay. Any speaker cards? I have none. Anyone in the audience want to speak? Okay. Will the secretary please read the staff recommendation? Okay. recommend approval of the Canyon Trails Town Center first amended comprehensive sign plan dated May 2025 subject to stipulations. Is there a motion for the staff recommendation or a motion to recommend denial of the staff recommendation? I made a motion before even spoke. Oh, I have a motion from Commissioner Nepomino and a second from Commissioner Roberts. The floor is open for commission discussion. Pretty straightforward to me. Pretty straightforward. Okay. Thank you. Call for the vote. Presenting your vote. Commissioner Hegis, how do you vote? I. Thank you. Okay. Motion passed.
