A 35-year-old Circle K built before Queen Creek was incorporated could be demolished and redeveloped as a larger store that fits the look of the nearby Downtown Core.
At its Dec. 13 meeting, the Queen Creek Planning & Zoning Commission voted to recommend approval of a proposal from Land Development Consultants LLC on behalf of Circle K Stores Inc. to rezone approximately 0.64 acres of land from rural estate district to general commercial to allow for the expansion.
The commission also approved a site plan and conditional use permit for the redevelopment and expansion of the gas station and convenience store at the northeast corner of Ellsworth and Ocotillo roads into a new 5,200-square-foot convenience store and 3,264-square-foot, five fuel-pump station on a 1.21-acre site, according to a staff report.
