Tempe Development Review Commission approves Feb. 10 minutes and three residential permit requests

The Tempe Development Review Commission on Feb. 24, 2026, voted unanimously to approve the study session and regular meeting minutes from Feb. 10 and to adopt a consent agenda that included three residential permit requests.

The consent agenda approved three items recommended by staff: (1) a use permit to allow a second-story addition to an existing single-family residence in the R-16 zoning district for the Neverez remodel; (2) a request for a second-story addition described as Ventura Drive Second Story; and (3) a use permit to reduce a side setback from 9 feet to 5 feet and a use permit to allow an 18-foot-tall accessory building in the rear yard for the Owens residence. Andy Johnson read the items aloud and asked whether any member of the public wished to speak; no speakers came forward.

Procedural motions were moved and seconded on the record. Commissioner Stefan Richter moved to approve the Feb. 10 minutes; Commissioner Barbara Lloyd seconded, and the commission approved the minutes unanimously. Later, Commissioner Richter moved to approve the consent agenda; Commissioner Linda Spears seconded and "And that passes unanimously," the presiding speaker said. No roll-call vote with individual member votes was announced in the transcript.

Meeting logistics and next steps: the presiding speaker reminded attendees that appeals of final commission decisions may be filed with City Council within 14 calendar days. There were no staff announcements. The commission adjourned and announced its next scheduled meeting for March 24, 2026; the presiding speaker closed the session with "This meeting is adjourned. Thanks everyone."
