Main Street DESCRIPTION: ZONING: B-1 SIZE: Lot 1 - .244 acres Lot 2 - .208 acres Total - .452 acres OVERVIEW: Use: Phase I of the project was the Ice house, completed last year. Phase II of the project will be an Old Main Street Market and will center on the development of a pavilion that will primarily function as a Farmers Market and Produce Stand. The pavilion could also be used for other larger public functions. The dimensions of the pavilion will be 24’ x 72’ or 1,728 square feet. Of this total square footage, 1,440 (24’ x 60’) will be dedicated to the market. The remainder will be used for office and storage space. There will also be a stand-alone ADA men’s and women’s restrooms immediately west of the pavilion. Access: The market will use the existing drive approaches that the existing Ice House uses today. These drives were designed to also accommodate this use and are adequate. Parking: The parking requirement for a market of this type if considered retail would be 1 to 200 sq. ft.. The market requires 8 parking spaces. And the office requires 1. For a total of 9 spaces The site plan as submitted shows an extra 13 spaces for the future phase 1  III development. The site plan needs to indicate how much of the parking is going to be constructed with Phase II. Sign: All signage will have to comply with city of Chandler sign ordinances. Setbacks: The setbacks are: rear - 0’, side – 10’, front – 25’. In order for the Phase II and Phase III buildings to comply with the required side setbacks the property needs to be replatted into one lot.

As such, it does not meet the city’s architectural requirements. For this building to be approved as presented special approval is required. The Phase III retail building is to be brick construction and the restrooms are located between the Market and the retail building. It has not been indicated on the application what the bathrooms will be constructed of. This needs to be indicated and approved.

STAFF ANALYSIS: The Comprehensive Plan was adopted in November 2011. In that Plan 44 actions were adopted as short term actions to be completed by November 2013. Of those 44 actions, 20 have had no action to date. In addition, 39 actions were adopted as long term actions to be completed by November 2016. Of these 39 actions, 26 have had no action to date. Now that 2 years have passed it is time to re-evaluate these actions and priorities. Changes may have occurred that made the need for some actions to be less important or not needed at all. Other actions may now need to be identified which were not envisioned in 2011. Other actions need to be reprioritized to give staff direction on the needed dedication of resources. The Planning and Zoning Commission, City Council and select staff completed a worksheet assigning priorities to the outstanding Comprehensive Plan actions. Attached is a summary of the results of that exercise. The summary shows the results by group (staff, P&Z, and Council) and the overall priority which is a cumulative score of the three groups. A new ranking was assigned based on this overall priority. Any ties were given the same rank. Edits to the actions have been proposed in red. Those actions highlighted in blue are identified as having more diversity in responses between the three groups or within the group and may warrant more discussion. 1  The purpose of the workshop will be to review these results and reach consensus of a new prioritization of the actions. To date no new actions have been proposed by any of the review groups.
