Special Permit Application Z-SP-13-09 (Tattoo Studio)

The purpose of this letter is to inform you that on behalf of my client, Katelyn Staton, I have recently filed a Special Permit application (Z-SP-13-09) to allow a tattoo studio in one of the suites in a small retail center located at the northwest corner of 7th Avenue and Coolidge Street.

Meetings and hearings by the Alhambra Village Planning Committee, the Phoenix Planning Commission and the City Council will be scheduled to review this case. However, specific dates have not yet been set. You will receive a second mailing in approximately 3 weeks identifying the dates and locations of these meetings and hearings.

Please plan to attend the neighborhood meeting we are hosting
Monday, October 26, 2009 at 7:00 p.m.
Community Church of Hope, 4121 N. 7th Avenue

You are welcomed to attend all of these meetings and City hearings to make your opinions known. Please confirm meeting and hearing details with the City of Phoenix Planning Department before attending, as they are subject to change. Hearing information will also be found on signs posted on the site and on the “City Page” in the Arizona Republic. In addition, you may make your opinions known by writing to the Planning Department at 200 W. Washington Street, 6th Floor, Phoenix, Arizona 85003 and reference case number Z-SP-13-09, or by sending an email to Susan Sargent at the email below. Your letter will be made part of the case file.

The Alhambra Village Planning Committee will forward a recommendation to the Planning Commission and City Council after considering testimony and reviewing the Planning Department’s staff report. The Village Planner who will staff this meeting is Susan Sargent and can be reached at 602-262-4065 or by email at
Susan.Sargent@phoenix.gov. She can answer questions regarding the City’s hearing process, as well as the staff report.

The by-appointment-only tattoo studio would be located in the northern-most suite, approximately 500 square feet in size.

There is a Pending Application for a Liquor License
(Series 10 - Off-Sale Beer and Wine) near us.

Virginia Market at 702 E. Virginia Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85006.

The above business recently filed an application for a liquor license in our area. State law allows anyone who resides in, owns, or leases property within a one-mile radius of this location to file written arguments in favor of or opposed to the issuance of the license.

Because this is an acquisition of control, any arguments must relate to the personal qualifications of the applicant. Arguments regarding the suitability of the location for a liquor license cannot be considered.

State law requires that arguments be files with the City no later than 5:00 p.m., December 8, 2009. You may mail or hand-deliver a letter or petition to the City of Phoenix, City Clerk Department, 200 West Washington Street, 10th Floor, Phoenix, Arizona 85003. If you prefer, you may send an e-mail stating your arguments to: clk.liquor.license@phoenix.gov
. Please include an address and telephone number so that we may contact you if needed.

Please print your name and address. If your name and address are not legible, we will be unable to process your letter or petition.

IMPORTANT: If you want to appear before the State Liquor Board on this item, you must file a separate argument with the Director of the Department of Liquor no later than 15 days after the City Council votes upon this application. Please call the Arizona Liquor Department at 602.542.5141 with any questions about their procedures.

For more information about the liquor licensing process and how your neighborhood organization can get involved, please call the License Services Section, at 602.262.4638. Or, visit our website at www.phoenix.gov/LICNSVCS/index.html

Z-55-09 Rezoning Request (Phoenix, Arizona)

October 5, 2009

Dear Property Owner or Neighborhood Association President,

The purpose of this letter is to inform you that our company has recently filed Z-55-09, a rezoning request for an approximately 1/2 acre site located west of the southwest corner of 11th Street and Indian School Road. Please be advised that meetings and hearings before the Encanto Village Planning Committee and Planning Commission are planned to review this case. Specific meeting and hearing dates have not yet been set. You should receive a second mailing in approximately 4 weeks identifying the date and location of the meeting/hearing.

You are welcome to attend these meetings to learn about the case and make your opinions known. Please confirm the meeting details with the City of Phoenix Planning Department before attending as they are subject to change. Hearing information may also be found on signs posted on the site and on City Page in the Arizona Republic. You may also make your feelings known on this case by writing the City of Phoenix Planning Department, 200 W. Washington Street, Phoenix, AZ 85003 and referencing this case number. Your letter will be made a part of the case file.

On Monday, October 19, 2009, we will be holding a neighborhood meeting at the Longview Recreation Center from 6:30 to 7:30pm. The meeting will be in the classroom and is intended to provide a venue for us to address any neighborhood concerns and tell you more about the project. Feel free to attend, or simply email me if you have concerns and cannot attend. The center is located at: 4040 N. 14th St. in Phoenix.

The Encanto Village Planning Committee will forward a recommendation to the Zoning Hearing Officer or Planning Commission and City Council after considering the testimony from affected parties and reviewing the staff report prepared by the Planning Department. The village planner who will review this application is Joshua Bednarek and can be reached at 602.262. 6823. This planner can answer your questions regarding the village review and city hearing processes as well as the staff position once their report is complete. You are also urged to contact me via email at jason@sanksassociates.com to learn more about the case and express your concerns. If necessary, I can be reached by phone at 602.326.0581.

The following describes our request:

Proposed Change: Rezone the southern half of each parcel from R-3 (Multiple Family Residence district) to P-1 (Parking, Passenger Vehicle) to allow for additional parking for the existing office building. No new development is proposed at this time.

Existing Use: The property consists of two half acre parcels, the easternmost includes the existing office building and small parking area. While the City Council can stipulate to a specific site plan and development standards, we, and all other developers, have the opportunity to file later with the Planning Hearing Officer to amend those conditions through an advertised public hearing process should market conditions or ownership change.

Sincerely,

Jason Sanks
