| Review and Recommendation: |
The site is located in a regional commercial area on the edge of the Chandler Fashion Center Mall, near the intersection of the Loop 101 Price Freeway and Chandler Boulevard. The Mexicano will provide patrons with entertainment activities such as disc jockeys, recorded music and TV screens. An Entertainment Use Permit (EUP) is required for entertainment provided outdoors with the property being located within 1,320 feet of a residentially zoned property and if there is entertainment indoors with the property being located 600 feet or less from a residentially zoned property. The nearest residentially zoned property is approximately 940 feet from The Mexicano.
Planning staff has reviewed the request and finds it to be consistent with the General Plan and recommends approval with a time condition of one (1) year to evaluate the compatibility of the live entertainment with the surrounding residential and business developments. Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval. |

- A neighborhood meeting was held virtually on August 20, 2024. No one attended other than the applicant.
