A Grading and Drainage Plan must be prepared and accepted by DPR in accordance with the March 25, 2013 DPR memo, prior to any building permit issuance. 1. All development and engineering design shall be in conformance with the Drainage Regulation and current engineering policies, standards and best practices at the time of application for construction. 2. Drainage review of planning and/or zoning cases is for conceptual design only and does not represent final design approval nor shall it entitle applicants to future designs that are not in conformance with the Drainage Regulations and design policies and standards. h. This Special Use Permit shall expire twenty (20) years from the date of approval by the Board of Supervisors, i. The applicant/owner shall submit a written report outlining the status of the development at the end of one (1) years from the date of approval by the Board of Supervisors. The status report shall be reviewed by staff to determine whether the Special Use Permit remains in compliance with the approved stipulations. j. The applicant shall provide evidence of building permits and a Certificate of Occupancy for the retrofitted with the one (1) year status report. Evidence of the completed landscaping shall be submitted with the status report. k. The maximum storage area of vehicles and equipment shall be limited to that shown on the site plan.

No other business uses are permitted on the site except those called out in the narrative. o. Amendments to the site plan and narrative report shall be processed as a revised application in accordance with Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance Article 304.9. p. Noncompliance with the conditions of approval will be treated as a violation in accordance with the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance. Further, noncompliance of the conditions of approval may be grounds for the Planning and Zoning Commission to take action in accordance with Chapter 3 (Conditional Zoning). q. Non-compliance with the regulations administered by the Maricopa County Environmental Services Department, Maricopa County Department of Transportation, Drainage Review Division, Planning and Development Department, or the Flood Control District of Maricopa County may be grounds for initiating a revocation of this [Special Use Permit or Zone Change] as set forth in the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance. r. The granting of this change in use of the property has been at the request of the applicant, with the consent of the landowner. The granting of this approval is temporary and allows the property to enjoy uses in excess of those permitted by the zoning existing on the date of application, subject to conditions and stipulations. In the event of the failure to comply with any condition or stipulation, and at the time of expiration of the Special Use Permit, the property shall revert to the zoning that existed on the date of application. It is, therefore, stipulated and agreed that either revocation due to the failure to comply with any conditions or stipulations, or the expiration of the Special Use Permit, does not reduce any rights that existed on the date of application to use, divide, sell or possess the property and that there would be no diminution in value of the property from the value it held on the date of application due to such revocation or expiration of the Special Use Permit. The Special Use Permit enhances the value of the property above its value as of the date the Special Use Permit is granted and reverting to the prior zoning results in the same value of the property as if the Special Use Permit had never been granted.
