Development Review - Oct. 27, 2026

The Tempe Development Review Commission held its development review hearing on October 27, 2026. The commission approved meeting minutes and several use-permit items on consent, including permits for a massage establishment, an engineered shade structure, a tobacco retailer, an arcade bar, an RV garage with a reduced side-yard setback, and tandem driveway parking for a duplex. Commissioner Miller abstained on the duplex item; the first consent agenda passed unanimously.

After discussion, the commission approved a use permit for SRP to relocate an existing wireless communications monopole within its property as part of site modernization; the replacement pole will be about five feet shorter, with antennas reaching approximately 69 feet. It also approved permit PL260293 for a second-story addition to an existing residence, with Commissioner Lloyd opposed. Public comments raised concerns about neighborhood character, privacy, views, and potential precedent. No procurement, contract award, or spending action was identified.
