Highlights

A parking structure is now central to the Stetson Saloon development play in Old Town Scottsdale. The owner behind case 13-UP-2025 is asking the Scottsdale Planning Commission to rezone a 1.05-acre parcel at 7375 E. Stetson Drive from Parking District Downtown Overlay (P-2 DO) to Downtown/Multiple Use, Type 3 with Planned Block Development Overlay, Downtown Overlay (D/DMU-3 PBD DO), with a development plan calling for a municipal parking structure and amended standards for setbacks, stepbacks, and building location. The commission takes up the request at its regular meeting on June 10, 2026.

The filing marks a notable pivot from the project's earlier posture. When case 13-UP-2025 first appeared on the commission's May 27 agenda, the request was a bar conditional use permit on a roughly 4,820-square-foot site at 4340 N. 75th Street, zoned Highway Commercial District with Downtown Overlay. The June 10 filing shifts the focus entirely to the Stetson Drive parcel and frames the project around a parking structure rather than the bar use itself.

A companion case, 14-UP-2025, sought a live-entertainment conditional use permit on the same 4,820-square-foot 75th Street site and was also on the May 27 agenda. Applicant contact for that case was Lauren Proper Potter at 480-921-2800.

For the June 10 hearing, the applicant contact is Carlos De Alva at 520-519-9335. Staff contact on both filings is Casey Steinke at 480-312-2611. No staff recommendation appears in the published agenda text.

The Stetson Drive address currently houses at least one commercial tenant: Touch for Life, a chiropractic practice operated by Dr. Shawn Warwick at Suite 104.

What is the commission being asked to approve?

The owner is requesting a zoning district map amendment that would allow a parking structure on the 1.05-acre site, with the development plan including modified setback, stepback, and building location standards. The new designation, D/DMU-3 PBD DO, permits a broader range of uses than the current P-2 DO parking district classification.

The Planning Commission vote is scheduled for June 10, 2026.
