NEXT AGENDA

[70. Introduction and Tentative Adoption of Ordinance No. 4999, PLH21-0065 Airstream of Chandler, located at 1375 S. Arizona Avenue Move City Council introduce and tentatively adopt Ordinance No. 4999, approving PLH21-0065 Airstream of Chandler, Rezoning from Planned Area Development (PAD) zoning for Community Commercial (C-2) uses to Planned Area Development (PAD) for Community Commercial Uses with motor vehicle sales, outdoor screened storage, indoor motor vehicle repair including body work, and limited short term overnight stays for recreational vehicles located at 1375 S. Arizona Avenue, generally located on the southeast corner of Arizona Avenue and the Loop 202 Santan Freeway, subject to the conditions as recommended by Planning and Zoning Commission. Council Focus Area(s):]

I, I THINK THAT WE WILL JUST, UH, NOT DO A STAFF PRESENTATION AND GO STRAIGHT TO THE, UH, UH, APPLICANT.

THAT'S OKAY.

IF YOU'D STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

PERFECT.

UM, MAYOR VICE MAYOR FOR YOUR RECORD, LINDSAY SHUBIE WITH THE LAW FIRM OF GAMMAGE AND BURNHAM 40 NORTH CENTRAL IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA, AND CHIVALRY IS NOT DEAD.

THE LOVELY HARLEY PUT THE PRESENTATION ON HERE FOR ME.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

UH, WITH ME TONIGHT, I'M PLEASURE TO BE HERE TONIGHT ON BEHALF OF AIRSTREAM OF CHANDLER WITH ME AS MY CLIENT, AARON AND HIS WIFE CHRISTY.

SO, AND THEN ALSO DENNIS NEWCOME WITH GAMMAGE AND BURNHAM.

SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.

UM, THE REQUEST TONIGHT, UH, IS WITH REGARD TO REZONE A 15 ACRES AT 1375 SOUTH ARIZONA AVENUE.

I THINK WE ALL KNOW THAT AS THE OLD SAM'S CLUB, RIGHT? IT HAD A PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT WE HAVE THAT HAS BEEN LOOKING TO FIND ITS VISION FOR A REALLY LONG TIME.

THE QUESTIONS THAT WE HAVE AND WHY I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I CAME IN FRONT OF YOU THIS EVENING IS THERE'S BEEN SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT ALLOWING CUSTOMERS TO SLEEP ONSITE IN THEIR RVS.

AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S SOME CLARIFICATIONS TO THAT REQUEST SO THAT THE CITY COUNCIL IS AWARE THAT THERE ARE PROTECTIONS IN PLACE.

AND THERE'S, IT'S BEEN A THOUGHTFUL EXERCISE IN TERMS OF ALLOWING THIS TO TAKE PLACE.

THIS IS NOT AN RV PARK.

THIS IS NOT AN OVERNIGHT STAY.

YOU CANNOT SHOW UP AND ASK TO PAY TO SPEND THE NIGHT.

THIS IS SIMPLY ANCILLARY TO SERVICE BEING PROVIDED ONSITE.

AND THAT'S WHAT'S BEING REQUESTED HERE TONIGHT.

UM, AGAIN, THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF ARIZONA AVENUE AND 2 0 2 THAT OLD SAM'S CLUB, I THINK I'VE TOLD A COUPLE OF YOU WE'VE DONE SO MUCH DUE DILIGENCE ON THIS SITE.

WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT SOMETHING WITH THIS GREAT FREEWAY ACCESS THAT CAN REALLY REVITALIZE THIS COMMERCIAL SHOPPING CENTER.

AND WE HAVE FOUND A FABULOUS HOME.

UM, AS YOU KNOW, THE ORIGINAL CASE WAS, UH, BROUGHT FORWARD IN 2003, BUT THEN AFTER SAM'S CLUB VACATED IN 2018, UM, IT'S BEEN VERY DIFFICULT TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WOULD WORK HERE AND AIRSTREAM OF CHANDLER, UH, DOWN THE SITE.

AND, AND IT, FRANKLY, WORKING WITH THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTY OWNERS HAS REALLY, UM, MADE A NICE PARTNERSHIP AND LOOKS FORWARD TO BECOMING A MEMBER OF, OF THE CHANDLER COMMUNITY.

SO GETTING TO THE BULK OF THE PRIMARY QUESTIONS WE HAD WERE WHERE CAN THESE LOCATION STAY? IF THE, IF YOU'RE GOING TO STAY OVERNIGHT IN YOUR RV, IT IS LOCATED IN THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE SITE.

WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY 20 SPOTS, SOME OF THESE, UM, CONDITIONS THAT WE HAVE TO PROTECT, NOT ONLY OUR NEIGHBORING COMMERCIAL PROPERTY OWNERS, BUT ALSO OURSELVES AS A FIT AS A BUSINESS.

UM, IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THESE 20 SPOTS WILL HAVE THEIR EACH INDIVIDUAL POWER.

THAT POWER WILL ONLY BE TURNED ON IF YOU ARE ASSIGNED THAT SPOT BECAUSE YOU ARE GETTING SERVICE AT THE LOCATION, UM, THERE IS NO WATER.

THERE IS NO DUMPING STATION.

THERE'S A MAT.

THERE'S A STIPULATION THAT IT'S A MAXIMUM OF FIVE NIGHTS OR 24 HOURS AFTER SERVICES COMPLETE.

YOU HAVE TO VACATE THAT SPOT.

THERE ARE NO AMENITIES.

YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT AN RV PARK, YOU WANT THE BACCI BALL, THE PICKLE BAR, ALL CARTS.

I'M SURE THESE DAYS, THERE ARE NO AMENITIES.

AGAIN, YOU CANNOT PAY AND SHOW UP AND STAY HERE, SIMPLY AN ANCILLARY USE.

UM, WE'VE HAD A NICE RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR NEIGHBOR AND THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTY OWNERS IN TERMS OF LANDSCAPING, CIRCULATION, ALL OF THOSE THINGS AND WORK WITH YOUR PLANNING STAFF TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WAS VERY THOUGHTFUL.

WE ARE IN FRONT OF YOU WITH A UNANIMOUS RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL FROM YOUR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.

WE ADDED STIPULATION NINE AGAIN, WHAT WAS GOING TO BE PART OF THE CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CUSTOMER AND THE PROPERTY OWNER, BUT TO ENSURE TO ADD A LITTLE MORE TEETH TO THAT, WE NOW HAVE A CITY STIPULATION,

[00:10:01]

NO OUTDOOR CAMPING OR ENTERTAINMENT AND CUSTOMERS MUST VACATE.

LIKE I SAID, WITHIN 24 HOURS OF THE SERVICE BEING COMPLETE, UM, WE HAVE A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL FROM YOUR STAFF AND HAVE ALREADY STARTED WORKING WITH THE COMMUNITY.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO BEING A GREAT COMMUNITY PARTNER AND RESPECTFULLY STAND FOR QUESTIONS.

SO THERE'S ALSO NO BARBECUE PITS.

THERE'S NO FIRE PITS.

LIKE IF THIS WAS ANY PLACE ELSE THEY LITERALLY CAN BE IN THERE, THEIR TRAILER OR THE TRAILERS BEING WORKED ON AT THE SAME TIME, OR HOW DOES THAT WORK NEAR A FABULOUS QUESTION? YES, IT IS IN CONJUNCTION TO YOUR SERVICE BEING DONE ON YOUR AIRSTREAM.

I THINK AS WE'VE DISCUSSED, AIRSTREAMS HAVE BECOME PRIMARY RESIDENCES FOR SOME PEOPLE.

SO A LOT OF THE SERVICE WILL BE PREARRANGED.

UM, AND, AND, AND THE PARTS WHERE WE WILL HAVE SOME PEOPLE COME BY, YOU KNOW, YOU MAY BE TRAVELING THROUGH, UH, THROUGH ARIZONA TRAVELING ON THE 2 0 2 AND YOU NEED SOME SERVICE.

AND SO YOU GET THAT DONE.

NO BARBECUE PITS, NO SMORES, UNFORTUNATELY.

AND THIS WOULD ALSO PERMIT SOMEONE FROM GOING INTO THE STORE AND BUYING A WIDGET.

AND THEN IN ESSENCE, STAYING THERE BECAUSE THEY MADE A PURCHASE, THEY WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE TO BE WORKING ON THE AIRSTREAM MAYOR, CORRECT MUCH LIKE THE RESTAURANT BUSINESS, YOU KNOW, IT'S IMPORTANT FOR MY CLIENT TO, TO TURN OVER THAT SPACE.

SO, NO, THERE'S NO INTEREST AGAIN, THERE'S NO FINANCIAL INCENTIVE TO HAVE ANYONE STAY IN THAT SPOT.

IT IS SIMPLY WELL, THE SERVICES BEING PROVIDED ON THE VEHICLE.

GREAT COUNSEL, WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE? SO, UH, HE THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION.

IT, IT ADDRESSED, UH, PRETTY MUCH ALL THE QUESTIONS I HAD HAD, UH, PREVIOUSLY WHEN THIS, THE WAY THIS CAME TO ACTION, UM, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT THE MOST RECENT, UH, LAYOUT YOU HAD THERE, UH, PUT BACK TO THE BROADCAST TO HERE.

UM, IF WE CAN BRING THAT UP, COULD YOU MAKE THE LAST SLIDE BACK UP WITH THE KEPT SITE? LIKE THAT ONE? YEAH.

UM, SO MY ONLY QUESTION THEN WOULD BE, IT DOES LOOK LIKE YOU ARE MODIFYING THEN THE PART OR THE PARKING, UM, THE OTHER, THE REST OF THE PARKING IN THE, IN THE AREA TOO, AGAIN, AGAIN, LIKE YOU SAID, YOU'RE PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE QUITE A FEW PEOPLE THAT MAY BE STOPPING BY FOR EVEN A BRIEF SERVICE OREGON FOR, UM, UPDATES OR OTHER ACTIVITIES FOR, UH, YOU KNOW, AS PART OF THE AIRSTREAM FAMILY THAT YOU HAVE THAT FLAT TRAVEL THROUGH, UH, ARIZONA.

UH, SO MY ASSUMPTION HERE IS THAT A LOT OF THESE SPACES ARE COOL THROUGHS FOR RBS, UH, FOR LARGER VEHICLES.

THEY MODIFIED THE PARKING LOT TO ACCOMMODATE THAT AGAIN, TURNING RADIUSES AND SUCH YEAH.

MAYOR VICE MAYOR, UH, COUNCILMAN LOPEZ, EXACTLY THERE IS GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, NOT ONLY WAS WALKING THE SITE TODAY AND IT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO BE SO NICE THAT THEY EXTERIOR IMPROVEMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE THAT THE CIRCULATION PATTERNS.

AND AGAIN, IN WORKING WITH OUR NEIGHBOR AND THINKING ABOUT CIRCULATION PATTERNS, WHERE WE WANT VEHICLES TO GO DIRECTIONAL SIGNAGE, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE A BENEFIT AND THE ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING WE'RE GOING TO ADD TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE A GOOD NEIGHBOR, UM, HOPEFULLY A LITTLE BIT MORE BUSINESS AT THAT STARBUCKS.

AND MAYBE PEOPLE CAN GO TO THE SUNDAY SERVICE AT THE CHURCH THERE.

SO YES, THE WHOLE THERE'LL BE FABULOUS IMPROVEMENTS.

THE UNDERGROUND RETENTION NEEDS AN UPDATE.

AND SO I THINK THERE'LL BE A GREAT IMPROVEMENT FOR THE ENTIRE STATE.

SO, YEAH.

AND THANK YOU WITH THAT BECAUSE, UH, NOT JUST TREATING THIS AS A, UH, UH, A REUSE OF FACILITY AND JUST, UH, YOU KNOW, KIND OF RINSE AND REPEAT, BUT YOU, UH, HAVE MADE A SUBSTANTIAL INVESTMENT INTO THE PROPERTY, UPDATING IT, UH, ADDING A LOT OF, UH, UH, UH, FLARE, AS I SAY TO THE AIRSTREAM PANELISTS, THAT'S THE RIGHT TERM FOR AIRSTREAMS, BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, I, I DO APPRECIATE THAT.

AND AGAIN, THAT'S PART OF THE, UH, EXHIBITING OF WANTING TO BE PART OF A COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP.

UH, AND WE TRULY DO APPRECIATE THAT.

DO THIS AND OTHER, AND THERE ARE OTHER FACILITIES OR THERE'S SOMETHING UNIQUE, UH, MAYOR VICE MAYOR, THEY ARE ROLLING IT OUT ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

MA'AM THAT'S THANK YOU, MAYOR.

YEAH.

CAN YOU PUT THAT MAP ON JUST, UH, I, I WAS OUT THERE TODAY WALKING AS YOU KNOW, AND I WAS REALLY INTRIGUED ON HOW YOU WORK WITH YOUR NEIGHBORS, WHICH IS ONE OF MY QUESTIONS EARLY, AND YOU, YOU, YOU, YOU AND THE APPLICANT DID A GREAT JOB EXPLAINING THAT.

I APPRECIATE YOU REACHING OUT TO THEM, BUT CAN YOU JUST SHOW US WHAT KIND OF LANCE, JUST GIVE US A QUICK BOUNDARY OF WHERE THE LANDSCAPE'S GOING TO BE, BECAUSE YOU REALLY ARE GOING FURTHER WAY BEYOND WHAT, UH, JUST AROUND THE, THE PARKWAY, ABSOLUTELY.

MAYOR VICE MAYOR, COUNCILMAN ORLANDO, THAT THERE WILL BE INCREDIBLE IMPROVEMENTS TO, YOU KNOW, THE UNDERGROUND RETENTION, WHICH IS SUPER EXPENSIVE, AND IT'S NOT THE STUFF THAT ANY OF US GET TO SEE, BUT IT'S VERY IMPORTANT NOT ONLY FOR THIS SITE, BUT FOR THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTY OWNERS AND SUBSTANTIAL LANDSCAPING WILL BE PUT IN ALL OVER, NOT JUST THE SUBJECT AREA, BUT THE ENTIRE SITE.

AND THEN AGAIN, THE IMPROVEMENTS, THE BUILDING, UM, A PORTAL TO SHARE, I'M SAYING THAT PROPERLY FOR ANY OF THE ARCHITECTS IN THE AREA, BUT YES, THEY'LL BE LANDSCAPING, NOT ONLY IN THE AREA IN RED, WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IN TERMS OF JUST WANTING TO HIGHLIGHT WHERE THE OVERNIGHT STAY IS GOING TO BE AVAILABLE.

BUT THE ENTIRE PARKING LOT WILL BE REDONE AND EVEN PARKING SPOTS, REORIENTED TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE SENDING TRAFFIC THE RIGHT WAY, YOU KNOW, AS YOU KNOW, THAT THOUGHTFUL ORIENTATION OF PARKING SPOTS AND LANDSCAPING, DIRECTIONAL SIGNAGE WILL HELP TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE A BENEFIT, NOT A BURDEN TO OUR NEIGHBORS AT THAT END.

DOES HAS ANY OTHER, DOES THE AIRSTREAM

[00:15:01]

IT IS AGAIN, AS AIRSTREAM HAS BECOME A PRIMARY, UM, A PRIMARY HOME FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE AS THEY IN COVID WEEVIL, PEOPLE FEEL EMBARRASSED HERE.

THERE'S A NEW, UH, EXCITEMENT BY AND AIRSTREAMS, AND YES, THEY ARE NOW ALLOWING THIS SLEEPING ONSITE IN CASE THAT'S YOUR ONLY HOME AND YOUR ONLY OPTION.

THANK YOU AND SORRY, HARLEY, TO GET CHANCE TO HEAR YOUR ELEGANT PRESENTATION, YOU CAN JUST SEND IT TO US.
