Development Review Commission - June 9, 2026

The Development Review Commission of Tempe held a meeting on June 9, 2026, to review land use and zoning applications, including requests for use permits and a planned area development (PAD) for a multifamily housing project. Key procurement-related discussions involved the approval of use permits for accessory buildings and setbacks for a residential shop, as well as a significant PAD proposal to convert the existing Tempe Oasis Hotel into a 142-unit multifamily residential complex with a commercial coffee shop component. The commission reviewed parking requirements and traffic studies related to the project, with concerns raised about the adequacy of parking spaces and neighborhood impacts. The commission approved the use permits for the residential shop with conditions and discussed the PAD standards and parking provisions for the multifamily project, noting that any future changes to parking would require further amendments. Public comments highlighted neighborhood concerns about crime and property management at the hotel site. The commission acknowledged these concerns and noted that security measures and design reviews would be part of the development plan review process. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were discussed, but the meeting focused on land use approvals that could influence future development and procurement activities in Tempe.
