The following Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) stipulations shall apply: 1. Access to Riggs Road must meet any access restrictions as recommended in the County approved Traffic Impact Statement. 2. Roadway 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 Current MCDOT Design Standards. 3. Detailed Plans showing the new improvements in the County right-of-way must be submitted for the acquisition of construction permits. e. All trees shall be double-staked when installed. f. All transformers, back-flow prevention devices, utility boxes and all other utility related ground mounted equipment shall be painted to complement the development and shall be screened with landscape material where possible.

At the time of application for the building permits, drywell grates shall be designed to be no higher than 0.3 feet above the basin bottom. 3. All development and engineering design shall be in conformance with Section 1205 of the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance, Drainage Policies and Standards and current engineering policies, standards and best practices at the time of application for construction. 4. 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 Section 1205 of the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance and Drainage Policies and Standards. 5. Detailed Grading and Drainage Plans showing the new site improvements must be submitted for the acquisition of building permits. h. All outdoor lighting shall conform with the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance. i. Development and use of the site shall comply with requirements for fire hydrant placement and other fire protection measures as deemed necessary by the applicable fire department. Prior to issuance of zoning clearance, the applicant shall seek review and comment from the applicable fire protection agency, and shall provide written confirmation that the site will be developed in accordance with their requirements. j. Prior to zoning clearance, developer(s) and/or builder(s) shall establish emergency fire protection services, covering all real property contained within the project area during course of construction and shall obtain a ‘will serve’ letter substantiating coverage from the appropriate Fire Department servicing the site. k. The applicant or his successor shall obtain approval of any development plans from the Office of the Arizona State Fire Marshal prior to any construction. l. The applicant shall submit a status report outlining the status of the development every five (5) years from the date of approval by the Board of Supervisors for the duration of the thirty (30) year Special Use Permit timeframe. The status report shall be reviewed by staff to determine whether the Special Use Permit remains in compliance with the approved stipulations, with the ability to carry the status report to the Board of Supervisors (Board), upon recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission (Commission) if needed. m. Major changes to the Special Use Permit shall be processed as a revised application, with approval by the Board of Supervisors upon recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission. Minor changes may be administratively approved by the Planning and Development Department. Major changes to the Special Use Permit may require a new Citizen Participation Process as determined by the Planning and Development Department. n. 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 the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance. o. 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 as set forth in the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance. p. Property owner and his successors waive claim for diminution in value if the County takes action to rescind approval due to noncompliance with stipulations. q. 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.
