PZ-3. TOYOTA PROVING GROUNDS MAJOR AMENDMENT 2015 Case #: Z2015016 Supervisor District: 4 Applicant & Owner: Noel J. Griemsmann, Snell & Wilmer, LLP / Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing N.A., Inc. Request: Major amendment to a Special Use Permit (SUP) for the Toyota Proving Grounds in the Rural-190 zoning district Site Location: Approximately at the northwest corner of Peak View Rd. and Patton Rd. in the Wickenburg area. Site Size: Approximately 11,658 acres Commission Recommendation: On 2/4/16, the Commission voted 8-0 to recommend approval of Z2015016 subject to conditions ‘a’ – ‘h’: a. Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Site Plan entitled “Toyota Proving Grounds Major Amendment 2015“, consisting of 20 full-size sheets, dated December 23, 2015, and stamped received December 30, 2015, except as modified by the following conditions. b. Development of the site shall be in conformance with the Narrative Report entitled “TOYOTA PROVING GROUNDS SPECIAL USE PERMIT MAJOR AMENDMENT 2015 NARRATIVE REPORT”, consisting of 8 pages, dated December 29, 2015, and stamped received December 30, 2015, except as modified by the following conditions. c. The applicant/property owner shall submit a ‘will serve’ letter for fire protection services for the project site. A copy of the ‘will serve’ letter shall be required as part of the initial construction permit submittal. d. Noncompliance with any Maricopa County Regulation shall be grounds for initiating a revocation of this Special Use Permit as set forth in the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance. e. 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 allows the property to enjoy uses in excess of those permitted by the zoning existing on the date of application, subject to conditions. In the event of the failure to comply with any condition, 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 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. f. The Special Use is a permanent entitlement without expiration. g. 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. h. All previous Special Use Permit (SUP) and SUP amendments including the conditions/stipulations are superseded with this approval. (C-44-16-046-M-00)
