Commission approves site plan and conditional use for new First Credit Union pad at Queen Creek intersection
Summary
The Planning and Zoning Commission approved a site plan and conditional use permit for a First Credit Union branch with three drive‑through lanes as part of the Madera commercial center at Queen Creek and Signal Butte Road; no public opposition was recorded.
The Planning and Zoning Commission on June 3 approved a site plan and conditional use permit for a new First Credit Union branch planned for a pad within the Madera development at the southeast corner of Queen Creek and Signal Butte Road.
Nathan Warren, Planner I for the town’s planning division, presented the application (P24‑0063 and P24‑0064). He said the proposed building would occupy one of the commercial pads in the larger Madera center, occupy roughly 33,000 square feet of the pad area in context of the center, and include three drive‑through teller lanes, an ATM and standard teller services. Warren told commissioners the site plan meets minimum parking requirements (14 spaces for the pad), landscaping, open‑space and elevation standards consistent with the Madera design theme, and that staff had received no public comments. "It meets planning requirements," Warren said during his presentation.
An applicant representative confirmed the proposal’s design intent and the three drive‑through lanes. No members of the public submitted speaker cards or addressed the commission on the item.
The commission moved to approve the site plan and conditional use permit. The transcript records a motion and that the chairman later dropped from the call, followed by staff acknowledgement that the motion carried. The public transcript records the motion and the final notation "the motion carries" for this item; the precise roll‑call tally is not detailed in the transcript.
Why it matters: The approval adds a banking/financial services pad to a neighborhood commercial node and includes a three‑lane drive‑through configuration, a feature commissioners and staff noted as lower intensity in this design because teller interactions are not continuous amplified operations.
Implementation and next steps: With planning approval, applicants will proceed to any required engineering, building permits and inspections. Staff noted the project must comply with the approved site plan, landscaping and parking conditions during permitting and construction.
Provenance: See transcript excerpts below for staff presentation, applicant comment and the motion.
