0:13

Well no, yeah.

0:32

It's the frame for uh one point.

0:46

So it's always pretty much uh one thing that's like so back there.

1:11

Okay, uh yeah, so I'm back to checking for things.

1:21

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1:32

See what you could do because we're gonna have to be very bad.

1:37

Well, just actually why I'm bringing that one.

1:43

So I should have just like that's one of the things.

2:17

Yeah, it's just that the next one.

2:23

So this maybe different.

2:44

Yeah, they have a reflecting all the part of the water.

2:55

How many parts are just two?

3:01

Okay, yeah.

3:16

Some sections that's the one we are just like.

3:32

But I'm gonna hold it.

3:33

So they are just in there all the time.

3:40

Okay, good.

3:44

Yeah, so I think you want to reason the updates.

3:58

Okay, this is like this prepared one.

4:21

No, I don't know.

4:48

We can sort of lean or notice the different projects.

5:02

No, it was different.

5:19

Yeah, that we're actually stressing.

5:28

I just want to set up the index we all should have your uh good light on.

5:41

So I'm just gonna show my time.

5:54

Oh, I could probably follow.

6:01

Okay, because we have a line.

6:22

It was cheaper.

6:26

Yeah, right.

6:37

I guess our ones.

6:42

I think you're looking at the comments.

6:48

Yeah, we should have to have a lot of personal.

6:57

Yeah, we will work on that.

7:01

These are all the same.

7:04

So I smelled the end of the world to see.

7:34

Oh no, yeah, yeah.

7:39

Oh yeah, and that's very extended.

7:48

Yeah, that's what you do.

7:49

Yeah, also in favor of it.

8:04

That's what we're looking for.

8:12

Yeah.

8:14

Oh yeah.

8:32

So like instincts are bumping there and all that.

9:47

Yeah, that's what about that?

10:29

Oh, it is a bit after.

10:33

Yeah, yeah.

10:37

Um just nine.

10:39

Um that was another person.

10:42

Oh yeah.

10:44

And uh now is not in the point.

10:54

And then we got it in the boy number.

11:12

I don't say it was not sleeping because that's the call.

11:20

But it didn't for anybody else.

11:23

You should share it.

11:27

So why are you saying that's the first one?

11:28

So do you want to see like the whole thing by itself as well as well.

11:41

Oh but it's everybody else.

11:47

Oh, this is why I have no idea that we're gonna do it.

11:58

Oh, but you all have a form.

12:11

Yeah.

12:15

Oh, really?

12:16

Like 15 minutes behind in the work section.

12:27

He said there's a sign on the door thing.

12:32

I wish I would have known that I'm sorry about it.

12:44

Oh yes, we got five minutes like that.

12:48

So you go for spring on the top tech for the armor.

13:06

I don't know.

13:25

No, they're right.

13:26

I mean, I'm gonna go to the project.

13:37

Yeah, we can go and drive a little bit like the trial as well.

13:46

Yeah.

13:50

I have no idea.

13:56

Yeah, there was one item on there.

13:58

Okay, is this yes, this is a good one?

14:00

And then you can go from there.

14:03

Let's see.

14:04

Okay, good.

14:05

You can pressure from here.

14:06

I don't know where it's a perfect.

14:09

Do we need to do like the light ship thing to make it?

14:12

Yeah.

14:15

Or I don't know, Dan might have one before us.

14:18

Okay.

14:19

Um I think he does actually.

14:22

So let me just desktop somewhere, then John can open it up.

14:30

Yeah, this one's here.

14:32

I think he I think he is first.

14:34

Let me go.

14:35

So is that metal one?

14:39

This one's after you.

14:40

This one's after.

14:41

Okay, I didn't see his presentation for ourselves, which is Silverado.

14:48

Let me see what time is super.

14:54

No.

14:54

Yeah, we're not at next year, uh not even on the agenda.

14:58

No, and this is my USB.

15:00

He just grabbed it for his eye.

15:02

Well this is mine.

15:04

So yeah, we're this the first one here.

15:06

Silver RV resorts.

15:08

Okay, so we'll just do a presentation for you too.

15:16

Uh oh, I guess I thought he had a presentation.

15:19

I guess they have one.

15:20

Does he not do them?

15:21

Um no.

15:22

Okay.

15:23

Well yes and no.

15:24

Yeah, so sometimes he does them if you don't have one, he'll do it, but then if you have it, then you gotcha.

15:29

And then he lets you drive.

15:31

All right, yeah.

15:31

That works.

15:32

Great.

15:32

Thank you.

15:37

I come over every night.

15:42

Oh, and it was any.

15:59

I know it's controller.

16:01

So you have like a separate computer.

16:03

Yeah, there's a there's an entrance and then you're using your driveway scrap.

16:17

So what is actually that they like to space around us?

16:23

It's a cool setup too.

16:24

Yeah, we don't have more.

16:34

Yes, but make a rule.

16:41

But you'd roll up for dinner with us, you know.

16:46

Well, sometimes for dinner, it's fancy.

16:50

Mac and cheese.

16:50

Craft mac and cheese.

17:00

Like, wait a minute.

17:01

Yesterday I could do this, but no one's okay.

17:07

My argument always makes we're gonna roll our first lights uh our favorite and I go the right alert.

17:16

With K.

17:17

Top Tier first.

17:18

Yeah, and the Mac and T.

17:22

I don't like this under the T.

17:31

No, I don't like it.

17:32

I don't like them already.

17:34

I don't like the perfect one.

17:39

Like randomly all like the chain shop or change.

17:49

Ultimate counter was wonderful.

17:52

17:54

And she used to make an architect.

18:05

And I'm scale.

18:20

Customer.

18:28

Yeah.

18:28

So we're gonna hold this thing.

18:34

Shall we get manually?

18:41

No.

19:02

Yeah, I know that's actually.

19:28

I don't know why it's cut me as much.

19:42

Yeah.

19:47

We call the team classes.

19:54

So basically our trip and fast you left and got into the comments.

20:00

So basically that you have a working model tries to find for another colour.

20:28

I still might do the product.

20:30

I want to be fair, but like I followed the stuff on like our company computer.

20:37

I don't know if you want it or not, but um just to kind of maybe we'd say that's what can I be hard for that.

20:46

Yeah, you just like you.

20:49

And you don't know what it is, like hard control.

21:02

Yeah, I would still write it.

21:04

It's uh it's airwinds.

21:10

I'll tell you they're working.

21:12

But they're uh different.

21:33

So meeting slides.

21:38

You just can't make it up.

21:42

So it's just the craziest part of that.

22:14

Yeah, just like you make some happy one.

22:50

Yeah, yeah.

22:51

So I've had like uh things.

22:53

Yeah, but these are recording.

22:54

Yeah, usually um obviously updated.

23:01

Yeah, it's all but red sky.

23:13

23:59

Yes, I've got time.

24:01

24:43

Or you're gonna just find out.

25:16

Yeah, you know I have I don't know.

25:17

Somebody goes to I don't know.

25:29

Yeah, because they hold the whole thing by asking.

25:37

Um, no, you can like whatever you want.

25:51

And then hold on, he's like one of those uh giving the whole speech about line before his office has to have.

26:12

37:04

Hi.

37:14

All right, no business.

37:16

Uh we will start uh with the first uh a we're gonna conduct a public hearing and make recommendations to the Eloy City Council on the following.

37:27

Uh case number GPA 2025-002 and uh RZPAD 2025-001.

37:38

It's a Silverado RV Resort.

37:40

Um, a request by the Ross uh Rose Law Group, PC on behalf of the Mar RZ uh RV Silverado LSE for a minor general plan amendment from the general industrial to high density industrial uh and a request to rezone from multiple family residential with a manufactured home overlay to a R-3 with a manufactured home park overlay and the planned air development uh overlay with modified design development and land use standards on approximately 27.5 acres located west of intersection of north labray street and west Tonto Road.

38:23

We'll open that to public hearing, chair members of the commission.

38:29

The case before you today, as you indicated, is a general plan minor general plan amendment from general industrial to high density residential.

38:38

Uh as it pertains to this application that the general plan was when it was last adopted in 2021.

38:45

Uh designated the property as general industrial.

38:50

It has been a um manufactured home or more like an RV park for well over 20 years since the 90s when it was first zoned.

39:01

Uh this is a cleanup of a potential error in the general plan when it was the last adopted.

39:08

So we've asked the applicant to come forward and clean that up at the same time so that the requested rezoning is in conformance with the general plan.

39:17

As it pertains to the rezoning case, it currently is uh manufactured home R3 zone.

39:25

I'm sorry, our multifamily residential zoning with the manufactured home overlay.

39:31

The manufactured home overlay was rescinded in uh 2018, and then it was significantly modified because there were some confusing language in 2021.

39:44

Um the property is technically considered legal, non-conforming since the zone never doesn't longer exist.

39:52

So as the applicant is desiring to add manufactured homes as well as RB parts.

40:02

And as the as is indicated, they are asking for a modified development standard, which is pertains to the PAD area open space, which is significantly minor.

40:14

Staff has no consider no concerns about it, and to add the land use of RV park to the manual manufactured home park designation.

40:27

Staff is supportive, uh subject to the conditions of approval.

40:31

And I'll be happy to answer any questions.

40:33

Or the applicant is here for their presentation.

40:42

Thank you, Chair Fristo, and also Chair Paulston and uh commissioners.

40:46

It's it's nice to be uh before you tonight, uh Mayor Sutton.

40:49

Um my name is John Gillespie.

40:51

I'm with the Rose Law Group.

40:53

Um happy to be here on on behalf of uh Cameron uh Rhody, who's uh own owner of the property, and him and his father are uh purchased this property a couple of years ago and are really looking to do some nice improvements to to the Silverado, um provide a um a housing option here in in Eloy that um that will be really good and and bring um uh bring uh a unique option and and a good development to the town.

41:18

Um do have some slides.

41:20

I'll just go through them quickly since we worked on them here.

41:24

So this this is the site here uh up in the Toltec area of the town as as Dan had mentioned.

41:31

Uh great job just pointing out that this uh this park's already built, it's already operating, it's been here for over over 20 years.

41:37

And what we're wanting to do in essence is to um provide the some flexibility to get some bigger lots so that we can have a nicer product to bring in for uh for housing and and for guests here.

41:50

Uh here's uh just a kind of an example of the the units themselves that the upgrades and the interiors, uh really nice um housing opportunity.

42:00

Uh this map just shows the existing zoning for the site and and the proposed change with the the PAD as had been been mentioned, um, providing uh nice open space and really defining well what the development standards are for future uh product to come in, which would be manufactured homes, park models, uh, and and RBs.

42:22

Here's the the general plan map just to show that cleanup that's occurring.

42:27

Uh this uh slide here just pulls out some of the the nice um aspects where uh currently we have one entrance into the the site uh with this upgrade.

42:37

We'll be able to have uh two gated entrances uh and the emergency access in uh second entrance.

42:43

So that'll be a nice upgrade.

42:45

Uh we'll be adding dog park, new pickleball, barbecue uh lawn areas, uh new refuse enclosures, uh, and then as I'd mentioned, increasing the the size of spaces to allow for for these uh new units to go in.

43:00

And uh the actual the overall unit count uh for the the park does decrease where we'll have 276 units uh previously that was up into the the 300s that was uh entitled to the site, and we'll be updating uh all the utilities throughout the site.

43:15

So a big big investment uh into the park uh with this this rezone.

43:21

This is a conceptual uh development plan that just calls out some of those those details that um we've worked closely with with staff on, and um we're excited about the the upgraded development standards to be be provided here.

43:34

Uh we've done some some good uh neighborhood outreach.

43:37

We had a meeting with with our residents at Silverado, um, got a lot of support and and um and there's excited about the the new um upgrades that are gonna be occurring.

43:47

And we also sent out notice to um uh per the the town the city standards there and held an open house neighborhood meeting.

43:54

We had um we did have uh couple come to that and uh got their support letters as you can you can see there uh indicating that they're excited about this uh development as well.

44:05

So we're we're really uh happy to be before you today and happy to answer any questions that you might have about the the upgrades that are happening here at the Silverado.

44:17

Thanks for coming.

44:18

Uh what if any concerns were the uh existing people that live there have, if there were any.

44:26

Uh Commissioner Frasetto, we really haven't gotten concerns.

44:29

Um, and as you'd kind of seen on our aerial, we're kind of alone out there.

44:33

There's really not a lot of development directly around us.

44:36

So within our our park itself, um, I think uh I think our our residents are excited to see that there's gonna be you know new neighbors and the amenities and then the upgrades as well will benefit them in terms of water, sewer, electricity, and and so um I don't know of any any real you know negative comments that we've received from from our residents.

44:54

Were you ever at max capacity?

44:56

Like taking those 76 out.

45:00

Was it a uh are you gonna now force people to go look elsewhere?

45:02

Oh uh good question, Commissioner Frost.

45:05

No, so we really weren't, and that's that's why we need this this upgrade is really to be able to attract more more density to to the site.

45:13

Um and so we're not gonna uh we'll be able to uh grandfather everyone who's existing there.

45:19

This PAD, uh the development standards will allow them to continue living in their homes.

45:22

We won't have to change kind of how what they've what they've purchased and what their their living accommodations are.

45:27

So nobody will be um forced to change their their housing situation.

45:34

Does that uh provide any financial hardship for the folks that are already there currently uh commissioner gunn, I might ask for you to clarify that because um no, because they're they're gonna be able to stay in their home.

45:48

So the value of their home certainly will we would expect it to increase because they're gonna have you know new new product that's brought in and and um and just the overall value of the park increasing, I think it'll be a benefit to to the value of their their homes um and their lots.

46:02

So okay, thank you.

46:08

Just to clarify, so their rent won't be increased by this change.

46:14

Uh Commissioner Lopez, thanks for the question.

46:16

So the um the the way that it works with those lots is they own the home, so their their home they own it outright.

46:25

Um those who who own their own.

46:27

Um the the rent for the lot, it it's it's subject to market changes.

46:33

And if Cameron has an idea, but I think they they work on a yearly rate ratio for that, so just yearly that they they look at that.

46:40

And um, but I don't think the certainly not the intent is not to raise you know rents, it's it's more to increase vacant you know decrease vacancy, increase the amount of people that are coming in and living in the park.

46:52

That's the the goal with the upgrades.

46:53

So the uh manufactured homes going to going to go in there, they're pretty much park models.

47:08

Mayor Sutton, so um, we'll be able to do both actually.

47:11

So the the standards um and that development plan shows kind of the layout where we we're have park models more on the south side of of the site, and then towards the north is where the the larger lot manufactured homes would would be going in.

47:24

Um and so that that flexibility is important for us to be able to as people come in if they want to have a smaller home or want to have a bigger home, we're we're trying to build that flexibility for them.

47:33

Um but uh but both would be allowed under this entitlement to have a park model, but also uh a manufactured home, which there's a little bit different how they're manufactured and accrued, you know, you know, is a little bit different.

47:46

But you know, I've driven around through Silverado quite often with the uh COP police car there on my patrols, and it's always been a well-run place, it appeared to me.

47:58

It does, even when it fills up during season, during winter season, and the folks did generally look like they're enjoying themselves.

48:04

That there's no doubt about that.

48:07

Um I think this is an upgrade.

48:09

I think this is a real plus to Eloy by putting something a little bit more permanent that shows a little bit more roots digging deeper into the community.

48:17

I I I really like that.

48:19

So I would like to say to the family here, look, thank you guys for investing in this town.

48:24

I really appreciate that because it's stuff like that that is gonna help elevate this town all around.

48:29

So thank you very much.

48:31

Thank you, Mary.

48:35

Well said, Mr.

48:36

Mayor.

48:38

Thank you, sir.

48:41

Uh, if nobody else has any questions, we'll move on uh to have the anybody in the public that'd like to speak.

48:46

Um so thank you for that.

48:51

Does not look like it.

48:53

Uh so we'll close a public clearing hearing, excuse me, and then um any on the com anybody on the commission have comments or concerns that we have not addressed.

49:04

So for that, I'll ask uh for a motion on new business uh motion.

49:14

All second and then roll call, please.

49:21

Got it.

49:22

Commissioner Lopez.

49:24

Hi, Commissioner Bacta.

49:28

Hi.

49:28

Commissioner Gunn.

49:30

Hi.

49:31

Commissioner Frosetto.

49:33

Aye.

49:34

Commissioner Crawford.

49:37

All right.

49:38

And Commissioner Paulson.

49:41

Hi.

49:48

Perfect.

49:49

And then we'll move to new uh thank you.

49:53

Thank you.

49:53

Yep, thanks.

49:54

Thank you.

49:56

Uh new business B.

50:00

So we'll conduct a public hearing and make recommendations to the Eloy City Council on the following.

50:04

Case number GPA 2024-002.

50:09

And RZPAD 2024-003.

50:18

A request by XCLN Engineering LLC and LBG development LSC on behalf of Eloy 107 LSE for a minor general plan amendment from the community community commercial commercial to medium high density residential and light industrial.

50:37

And an amendment to the zoning map from general commercial to small lot residential with the planned area development overlay and light industrial PAD on approximately 33.86 acres of land located 1,740 feet west of southwest corner of South Sunshine Boulevard and Interstate 10.

51:03

We will start by opening the public hearing.

51:14

Okay, staff.

51:15

Thank you, Chair.

51:16

Members of Commission to answer community development director.

51:20

The case before you today is the chair indicated is a minor general plan amendment for changing a uh the first one is about 33 acres.

51:29

The from medium high density residential and light uh from the I got all screwed up here.

51:37

Minor general plan amendment from community commercial to medium density residential and light industrial and it's also going to be a rezoning from community uh general commercials to small lot residential and some I1 zoning.

51:52

As you can see on the aerial before you uh it highlighted in yellow, this area is current currently zoned uh general plan designation of community commercial, which has a corresponding zoning district of C2, which is our general commercial zone.

52:11

The applicant is asking for that area to be rezoned to um light industrial and um R2 residential, which requires a general plan amendment uh to light industrial and a medium density residential.

52:30

Staff is supportive of this primarily due to its location away from the intersection and abutting the freeway.

52:39

There is a considerable amount of industrial land just to the east and south currently, although you'll see in the next application further south on the Milligan Road is also being requested to be changed to medium high density residential.

52:55

So the application is pretty consistent with the general plan, and that it will add uh additional flexibility for a different type of residential use that is not currently uh allowed in this area as it pertains to the medium density residential, but more for the R2, which is our small lot residential, which is the corresponding zoning, which you can see in this map.

53:24

The red on the top is the community commercial C2 zoning, and the bot bottom map is the top part of this little gray area is the I-1 fronting the freeway.

53:36

Though there's a plan, potentially a street that would come up and access that property there, and then the R2 small lot residential is fronting Milligan Road.

53:50

And on that staff is supportive of the application.

53:53

We've been working with the applicant uh for numerous numbers for almost a year uh on a lot of different application material as it pertains to this, which more has to do with the property to the south and the next uh item on your case, but the applicant will be and the property owner as part of the rezoning will be contributing to uh improvements to Sunland Gin and the actual interchange that would will be going forward to council as a separate agreement uh to mitigate any traffic concerns that will be uh occur from this development.

54:30

And on that I'll be happy to answer any questions.

54:33

The applicant is here to answer any questions.

54:36

They don't have a presentation today, although they're here for any questions.

54:48

What are we planning to put on this chairman forzetto, members of the commission, Mayor Sutton?

55:00

Chairman Frisetto, members of the commission, Mayor Sutton.

55:01

My name is Larry Fink.

55:03

I'm the owner of the Eloy 170 property.

55:06

Mayor, your question was.

55:10

What's going on the property?

55:12

Okay.

55:12

So we are we've been working well over a year on the zoning of the property.

55:17

We had a lot of TIE work to figure out there.

55:21

A dot got involved because of our proximity to the freeway and trying to develop it and everything.

55:34

We had sold them off a uh portion of our property on the south side of Milligan Road to expand their facility a little bit.

55:42

That took some time, about six months to go through that process.

55:46

On the north side of Blue Beacon, uh we've been under contract for over two years now with Maverick Oil for them to uh build on that site there.

55:59

Um their uh closing of the deal is predicated on them getting consistent zoning of C2 on that site.

56:07

Uh that will be the second uh case that you're here after this one.

56:11

Um we are uh been working with a residential developer for approximately a hundred acres on the south side of Maverick Road.

56:20

I'm sorry, Milligan Road, and um we're just waiting for the residential uh component to you know be zoned on that.

56:28

Uh as soon as that gets going and we have the momentum from that, we will uh start working with uh the light industrial and then the multi uh uh the more dense residential uh parcel on the north side of Milligan Road.

56:41

So it's it's been a long time going through this, and uh there's been so many moving parts, you know, mainly with uh bureaucracy, but uh uh again kudos to Dan Seimer and his team that it's uh they've been great to help shepherd us along to you know get it to this point.

57:11

I don't have any questions, so um anybody on the phone got any questions?

57:21

No, sir.

57:25

Uh it doesn't look like anybody from the public would like to speak because and then uh so we'll close uh go ahead.

57:33

Public hearing is open uh my name is Sandra Martin.

57:42

I live at Robeson Ranch.

57:45

My question is I I am familiar with Maverick, and uh the town I lived in had a Maverick.

57:57

Uh they keep it very clean.

58:00

Uh the main question I have is will Eloy get taxes off of this.

58:11

Thank you.

58:19

Mayor members mayor, members of the commission.

58:23

The quick and easy answer to that is yes, the property is in the city of Eloy.

58:27

So by the rezoning of the property, we'll get additional uh revenues just by this mere thought of going from neighborhood commercial C1 to C2, which is more of the south end of the property, but we will get all the sales tax and the fuel taxes is goes to the state and that's to be it up differently.

58:47

But overall, we'll get the additional revenue.

58:53

Okay, okay.

58:54

Anybody else from the public that would like to talk?

58:57

Go ahead and close the close the public hearing.

58:59

Anybody else from the commission?

59:02

Good on that.

59:03

Oh sir.

59:04

We will uh I'll ask for a motion for new business agenda B.

59:10

Motion.

59:12

And a second.

59:15

So I got a motion by John and then a second second by Crawford.

59:22

Perfect.

59:23

Roll call.

59:25

Commissioner Lopez.

59:27

Hi.

59:27

Commissioner Bakta.

59:30

I Commissioner Gunn.

59:32

Hi.

59:33

Commissioner Frasetto.

59:35

Aye.

59:36

Commissioner Crawford.

59:38

All right.

59:39

Commissioner Pawson.

59:42

I motion carries.

59:49

Perfect.

59:50

All right.

59:51

So we'll go to the next agenda item.

59:53

Uh Silb C.

59:55

We're going to conduct a public hearing.

1:00:00

Make recommendations to the ELO CITA Council on case number GPA 2024-004.

1:00:04

And RZ PAD 2024-005.

1:00:09

Eloy Commons South A requested to buy XCL Engineering.

1:00:15

LLC and LBG development LLC on behalf of Eloy 170 LLC for a minor general plan amendment from light industrial to community commercial and medium high density residential.

1:00:30

An amendment to the zoning map from neighborhood commercial to general commercial and single family residential with planned area development overlay and uh overlay and from C2 and light industrial to single family residential with the uh with the PAD on approximately 11 uh.1 acres of land located on the southwest corner of South Sunland Boulevard and Interstate 110.

1:01:01

That's a mouthful.

1:01:03

All right.

1:01:03

Uh open to the public hearing.

1:01:08

And then staff.

1:01:10

Thank you, Chair.

1:01:11

Members of the commission.

1:01:12

The case before you is the as the chair indicated is a general plan amendment and a rezoning.

1:01:18

It's a minor general plan amendment from the community commercial and neighborhood uh rescuse me.

1:01:25

I get these mixed up again.

1:01:27

Minor gender plan amendment from community commercial to uh in light industrial to medium density residential and a rezoning from the C2.

1:01:37

Oh I think I got the previous one on there, so I'm gonna skip that previous notes on there.

1:01:44

Apologize for that.

1:01:45

So it what it is, I'm gonna start this over.

1:01:47

It's a minor general plan amendment from light industrial to medium density residential and community commercial.

1:01:57

As you can see on the top, the current property is on light uh general plan amendment of light industrial.

1:02:04

The city has a substantial amount of industrial property.

1:02:09

In fact, we exceed what's typically normal for a city of this size.

1:02:15

Um in this area here, uh the primary res uh industrial is actually going on to the northeast side of I-10 and Sutherland Gin, and then further up to the northwest side.

1:02:30

Uh the light the industrial uses in this area uh really don't have the infrastructure or the access currently.

1:02:38

Uh being that we have so much industrial in the city, staff is supportive of adding additional uh residential to the area.

1:02:46

So the proposed um medium density residential, as you can see on the left hand side at the bottom.

1:02:54

Uh staff is supportive of that.

1:02:56

It is fairly consistent with the high density residential just to the south, and of course, there's some open space and some other medium densities uh further south.

1:03:07

But more importantly, we're getting some commercial along this side of the property, which is which is a strong benefit.

1:03:15

The city, if you look at it as a whole, has almost no commercial zoning, which is odd.

1:03:23

Um we we are shuffling the deck a little bit on this commercial, but it's we're relocating it to an area that's more appropriate instead of being so far off a quarter mile off of the street off the main street, relocating most of it to the front, uh, which is appropriate.

1:03:41

So staff is supportive of this general plan amendment as it pertains to the industrial, as you can see.

1:03:48

We have the general the current zoning does not correlate with the that the which is the top picture, does not correlate with the current zoning of the property.

1:03:57

So the general just like the previous case to two previous cases, the zoning map doesn't correspond with the with the general plan map, which is an additional uh issue.

1:04:08

So this application will clean up the zoning and with the general plan amendment, we'll we'll straighten that issue out.

1:04:15

So on the bottom half, they are proposing R16 single family zoning with the PAD along the two-thirds of the property and C2 uh general commercial along the east uh side of it, and this is the area where you're gonna have the maverick and the blue beacon to the south, which is this little key notch, and then you'll have maverick in the middle, and then additional uh commercial in the north part.

1:04:45

So on that staff uh is supportive of the application subject to the stipulations that we have provided in the packet.

1:04:52

The applicant is here for any questions as am I the medium high density residential.

1:05:01

The medium high density residential, how many parcels or I guess uh houses per whatever.

1:05:08

How many housing perhaps what could that be broken down into?

1:05:12

Yeah, so you can get on an hour and an average, it's probably gonna come in about six six uh six to seven.

1:05:23

Uh although this designation does allow from six to ten.

1:05:27

So by the time you add your open space or streets, and you'll still get about six units per acre.

1:05:33

Um you may you may get up to seven, but uh the reality is once they start doing their lot sizes, it is possible for them to come in with smaller lots and alternative designs that would we would be potentially open to, but um the lot sizes is coming in at four minimum uh maximum.

1:05:53

I'm sorry, minimum of 45 foot wide, and on a uh a lot area of just under 6,000 square feet.

1:06:02

So there are pretty standard home lots.

1:06:05

So thanks.

1:06:11

Hi, Dan.

1:06:12

Hi.

1:06:14

You know, I for one, I really like the mixed component here where you have the residential and that little commercial cut on the other side to help with the residential.

1:06:22

I I I do like this, and I think it's a plus for our city.

1:06:26

Thank you.

1:06:31

What's going on?

1:06:32

The little cutout part.

1:06:33

I'm sorry, I I sure the little key hook the little key is the um this little key part right here.

1:06:41

This is the blue beacon.

1:06:43

So the blue beacon is uh an existing car wash.

1:06:49

Uh as the owner has indicated earlier, they have sold off this little piece in the back to make their lot a little bit larger to allow for those uses to continue and allow for better circulation along the site.

1:07:03

Uh because right now it exits almost at the intersection.

1:07:06

So staff has worked has worked with the the uh blue beacon on a actually the internal turnaround, so when the trucks come in, they can turn around on site and then exit out, and then of course the they would come in off of that's now called vineyard.

1:07:22

You they come in and take a right into the site, and then a quick left, and they would go along the south property line, circle up to the north and over to the east again that goes to the truck car wash.

1:07:35

Thank you.

1:07:38

Anybody from the public that would like to talk about this as well.

1:07:44

Okay, we'll close the public hearing.

1:07:46

Anybody in the commission have any last questions?

1:07:48

Anybody on the phone?

1:07:50

No, sir.

1:07:54

So then I'll go and ask for a motion on new business uh agenda Call Make a motion to approve Crawford, and a second second roll call, Commissioner Lopez.

1:08:14

Aye, Commissioner Bacca.

1:08:18

I commissioner Gunn.

1:08:20

Hi, Commissioner Frasetto.

1:08:23

Aye, Commissioner Crawford, all right, Commissioner Paulson.

1:08:30

Aye six zero motion carries.

1:08:35

Thank you.

1:08:36

Uh we'll keep good.

1:08:38

I'm sorry, uh uh Chairman Frisotto, members of the commission, Mayor Sutton.

1:08:42

I just want to thank you very much, and Dan, thank you for all your help uh handling this for us.

1:08:46

Thank you.

1:08:49

Absolutely.

1:08:51

As we move forward, uh, anything uh on the commission or the mayor have any items to share.

1:09:00

Yes, just uh share some information to the uh the commission here for your ratification.

1:09:05

We uh at the last uh council meeting, the annex case, a 2025-001 was approved, and we annex 30.12 acres at uh Adams and Wano Road, which is up off of Sun Land Gym.

1:09:22

That approved, and at the last PNZ meeting, we went uh CUP 2025-003.

1:09:30

That was the one with the Arizona trailers, the group that are making the uh tow trailers, and that approved that council at seven seven to nothing.

1:09:40

So that was a really good thing seeing a business come into Eloy, and that's all I got.

1:09:44

Thank you.

1:09:45

Staff, anything else?

1:09:46

Sure.

1:09:47

Uh thank you, sir.

1:10:00

As we mentioned uh at the work session that we're gonna have the three opportunities at the end of the month, July 30th, July 31st, and August 2nd to for the public to come out and participate in the workshops for the general plan amendment.

1:10:12

We do encourage you all to come out and participate in these at least any one of those.

1:10:18

Um these are great activities.

1:10:20

We did have some commissioners at the Eloy Talks, which was a great event that is available online if you haven't had a chance to look at it.

1:10:31

And we'll be uh posting it out on our YouTube website here shortly.

1:10:37

So uh and if not, we'll put it on our Facebook again.

1:10:40

So on that moment, uh, I do want to inform the commission that our long-term city planner, Belinda Cota has taken a position with the Eloy Police Department, so she is now over uh gonna be working in dispatch.

1:10:57

So it's a move that she desired to do, and for staff that leaves me plannerless for a while.

1:11:06

So we are gonna be recruiting.

1:11:08

If you know somebody that would like to be a senior planner, it'd be great because I like to go on vacation at the end of next month.

1:11:16

So more importantly, um we're gonna be I'm I really we're slowing down a little bit.

1:11:25

We have some larger cases coming.

1:11:28

Uh I have it potential one case for uh August 20th, I believe it is.

1:11:35

Um just want to get some feedback from the commission if they're willing, it's not a vote if they'd be willing to move that up to the 13th.

1:11:43

Uh if you're available, I'll send out a uh message to y'all to see if you're available so that we can move that meeting up because for a couple of reasons.

1:11:52

One, the most of the council is gonna be at a retreat up in Scottsville for their annual uh League of the Cities event.

1:12:04

I would like to go on a vacation the next day.

1:12:07

Uh so but no, I I'll be here.

1:12:10

I wasn't I wasn't even thinking about it until this morning.

1:12:12

I was like, well, why don't I just ask to see if you're willing to move it?

1:12:15

Uh because then we can just plan ahead and make sure that you have a good four weeks off, five weeks off between uh I'll send out a um a poll to see if you guys are willing to move that.

1:12:26

And lastly, I uh I've been as you know, we've been very busy.

1:12:31

Uh was probably the busiest that I've gone through the agendas of the past few years.

1:12:36

This is the we've processed more cases in the three months that you guys have been here than they have processed almost entirely in the last two years.

1:12:45

So believe it or not, you've done a great job, and I really appreciate it.

1:12:49

Um I know I've promised to get out to you more often.

1:12:54

There's a little bit of a give and take when we were really busy, but uh with us slowing down, I do want to get out to you more and talk about activities that we can at least get you more in either involved or education opportunities or just sit down and talk with y'all what what what is planning because the general plan is a big event.

1:13:14

Um as you've seen we have it, it's very community-based driven.

1:13:18

We get your high-level input, and they're they're big on that.

1:13:22

So um, I do know that our commissioner um uh Eric uh Eric Lopez went and uh uh forget his name here.

1:13:35

Uh Chair Walton Wilton went to the le the uh training on legal planning issues.

1:13:41

That was a great opportunity.

1:13:43

Uh we'll have some more those coming up in I believe in if not September with the Arizona Planning Association, and I'll be sending out information to you all about that if you desire to attend those conferences as well.

1:13:55

Uh that's a group of different conferences.

1:13:58

I believe it's in Tempe this year, uh, which is great because then I don't have to pay for your hotel up in Flagstaff.

1:14:05

But uh but anyhow, uh that's all I have, and thank you again, Chair, for uh stepping in pro church, and thank you everyone online for attending online and those who attended in person.

1:14:19

Thank you.

1:14:20

No problem, thank you.

1:14:24

Say again I thank Dan for being a good guy.

1:14:32

We always like Dan.

1:14:33

All right, uh ask for a motion to adjourn the today's meeting.

1:14:37

Motion.

1:14:42

Second second.

1:14:46

And we're good.

1:14:47

Thanks, everybody.

Applicant John Gillespie noted strong resident support. Commissioners expressed approval, citing the upgrade as a positive for the community. The motion to recommend approval passed unanimously.
  • Eloy Commons – North (Case Nos. GPA2024-002 and RZPAD2024-003): A request by XCL Engineering and LBG Development for a Minor General Plan Amendment from Community Commercial to Medium-High Density Residential and Light Industrial, and a rezoning from C-2 to R-2 (Small Lot Residential) with PAD and I-1 PAD on approximately 33.86 acres located 1,740 feet west of the southwest corner of S Sunshine Blvd and I-10. Staff supported the application, noting it would add residential flexibility and contribute to traffic improvements at the Sunland Gin interchange. The applicant, Larry Fink, explained that the property is under contract for a Maverick Oil truck stop, contingent on zoning. The motion to recommend approval passed unanimously.
  • Eloy Commons – South (Case Nos. GPA2024-004 and RZPAD2024-005): A request for a Minor General Plan Amendment from Light Industrial to Community Commercial and Medium-High Density Residential, and a rezoning from C-1 to C-2 and R1-6 with PAD on approximately 111.10 acres on the southwest corner of S Sunshine Blvd and I-10. Staff noted the city has ample industrial land and that the proposal relocates commercial zoning to a more appropriate frontage. The plan includes single-family residential and a commercial area for Blue Beacon truck wash. The commission applauded the mixed-use component. The motion to recommend approval passed unanimously.
