Staff demonstrated a public entry page that links to the city calendar and allows users to subscribe to notifications. On the map, staff said red dots represent neighborhood meetings and blue dots represent planning‑and‑zoning and city council items; clicking a dot shows related meeting information and a “view” link that opens the city agenda for the meeting. Staff showed a cancelled notice as an example and noted the map reformats for mobile phones and includes a “locate location” button that will zoom to a user’s position when information for that site is published. Communications and the city’s GIS staff assisted in building the tool, staff said; communications will publish information to help residents find and use the feature.

During the staff report, Planning staff also identified two regional studies and asked residents to review materials and provide feedback: the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) study described in staff materials as relating to US 60/Grand Avenue and a separate Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) interchange alternatives study involving the 303 connection. Staff asked the public to visit those agencies’ websites for study details and questionnaires.

Commissioner Berry asked that the site‑posting map be placed prominently on the Community Development or Planning and Zoning pages so users do not have to click multiple levels to find it; staff answered that Communications has added the link to the Community Development page and offered instructions for subscribing and creating a phone shortcut.

Separately, the commission approved the Feb. 20, 2025 Planning and Zoning Commission regular meeting minutes. A motion to approve the Feb. 20 minutes passed by a 7‑0 voice vote.

The meeting opened and closed a public‑comment period; no members of the public signed up to speak.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning and Zoning Commission - March 06, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","City of Surprise planning staff demonstrated a new online site‑posting map that pulls neighborhood meeting notices and agendas into a searchable interface; Maricopa Association of Governments and ADOT studies were also highlighted.

The permit covers a proposed occupancy in the westernmost suite of an existing 10,149‑square‑foot retail building. Planning staff described the suite as 2,200 square feet of indoor space with two outdoor patios of about 600 and 765 square feet; the meeting agenda lists a single figure of 2,965 square feet for the proposal. Staff said 28 parking spaces are required and 68 spaces will be provided. Access points include a left‑in from westbound Bell Road, a right‑in/right‑out from eastbound Bell Road and a right‑in/right‑out on Citrus Road; pedestrian links to adjacent development were also shown in staff materials.

Planning staff said the proposal meets Title 17 separation and use criteria for bars, pubs and taverns. Staff materials showed the site is about 332 feet from the nearest residential zone (meeting the 300‑foot separation requirement) and roughly 700 feet from the nearest high school (exceeding a cited 500‑foot school separation requirement). An outreach meeting was held Jan. 9 at the Alora Surprise Community Building; staff reported one resident attended and raised questions about parking near the high school, pedestrian walkways and hours and capacity.

Commissioner Perry, who told the commission he attended the neighborhood meeting, said he was impressed with the applicant’s vision and that the hours and parking seemed appropriate adjacent to nearby apartments. “I was impressed with what their vision is for this,” Commissioner Perry said.

Planning staff recommended approval with stipulations A through E; the motion on the floor approved the use‑only CUP for Manny's Place subject to stipulations A and B as outlined in the staff report. The motion passed by a 7‑0 voice vote.

No members of the public spoke during the public hearing on this item and city staff and the applicant were available to answer commissioners’ questions during the meeting.

The commission did not place additional conditions beyond the two stipulations included in the motion. Any future changes to the operation that would conflict with the approved use or the council’s zoning code would require separate approvals or amendments.","The City of Surprise Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7-0 to approve a use‑only conditional use permit for Manny's Place, a beer‑and‑wine bar at the southeast corner of Bell Road and Citrus Road, subject to stipulations A and B; staff had recommended stipulations A–E.","actionData","errors"]
