Calvary Chapel Maricopa design reviewed; commissioners see attractive elevation, engineers to confirm access
Summary
Staff presented DRP23‑08 for Calvary Chapel Maricopa — a proposed 17,000‑square‑foot church with a Spanish‑mission aesthetic on roughly 5 acres. Commissioners praised the elevations and asked city engineers to confirm ingress/egress and access off McDavid Road and North Cole Drive.
Alex Bosworth presented DRP23‑08, a design review for Calvary Chapel Maricopa on an approximately 5‑acre site at West McDavid Road and North Cole Drive. The presentation covered site layout, a proposed 17,000‑square‑foot sanctuary plus classrooms and offices, a detached maintenance building, and a 144‑space parking lot.
Bosworth said the elevations show a Spanish‑mission aesthetic with tile roofing, arches and stucco; the applicant provided renderings to illustrate the final look. He told commissioners the project exceeds minimum parking requirements and that staff and engineering are reviewing access: the McDavid Road entrance is proposed as right‑in/right‑out and a full‑access private drive is shown onto North Cole Drive.
Commissioners praised the elevations; one asked whether ingress/egress would be adequate. Bosworth replied engineers are reviewing the entrances and that staff does not foresee major issues. No public speakers addressed the item during the meeting; staff said signs had been posted and notification letters were sent. The item was for discussion only; staff will return consolidated comments after technical review.
