Staff presented an overview of the request stating the Commission would review a Conditional Use Permit for this site at their August 8, 2013, public hearing to allow the construction of a fire station on this property. Staff stated the plat was being requested to create a tract less than one acre in size to allow the local fire district ownership of the property proposed for the new station. Staff requested the engineer provide the certificate of owner and correct the address of the owner on the proposed plat. Public Works comments were addressed. Staff started Pinnacle Valley Road was classified on the Master Street Plan as a minor arterial which would require a dedication of right of way to 45-feet from centerline. Staff noted comments from the other reporting departments and agencies suggesting the applicant contact them individually for additional clarification. There was no further discussion of the item. The Committee then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action. 4 August 22, 2013 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 1 Cont.) FILE NO.: S-1706 H.

The plat also indicates a dedication of right of way 45-feet from centerline as required by the Master Street Plan.

The Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit at their August 8, 2013, public hearing to allow the fire station on this R-2, Single-family zoned property (Z-8877).
