ARIZONA GAME & FISH WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS FACILITY Case #: Z2020008 Supervisor District: 2 Applicant / Owner: Steven Olson / Arizona Game & Fish Commission Request: Special Use Permit (SUP) for a new wireless communications facility – 41’ monopole stealth designed as a Giant Saguaro - in the Rural-70 zoning district Site Location: Generally located ¾ mile southwest of the southwest corner of Usery Pass Rd. and Indian School Rd. (alignment) Commission Recommendation: On 3/11/21, the Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval of Z2020008 subject to conditions ‘a’ – ‘ i ’: a. Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Site Plan entitled “AZ Game and Fish WCF “, consisting of five full-size sheets, dated January 11, 2021, and stamped received January 27, 2021, except as modified by the following conditions b. Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Narrative Report entitled “AT&T AZ Game & Fish WCF”, consisting of four pages, dated January 21, 2021, and stamped received January 27, 2021, except as modified by the following conditions. c. The following Planning Engineering condition shall apply: 1. Engineering review of planning and/or zoning cases is for conceptual design purposes only. All development and engineering design shall be in conformance with Section 1205 of the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance; Drainage Policies and Standards; Floodplain Regulations for Maricopa County; MCDOT Roadway Design Manual; and current engineering policies, standards and best practices at the time of application for construction d. The following Wireless Communications Facility development standards and rural fence requirements shall apply: 1. Maximum height of the Wireless Communication Facility shall be limited to 41 feet; unless increased height for an Eligible Facilities Request per Federal Rule can be accommodated with maintenance of integrity of stealth design. 2. Minimum setback the Wireless Communication Facility from any property line shall be 23 feet. 3. Maximum diameter of the antenna array of the wireless communications tower shall be 12½ feet; unless increased height for an Eligible Facilities Request per Federal Rule can be accommodated with maintenance of integrity of stealth design. 4. Maximum diameter of the wireless communications tower’s base shall be 44 inches, unless increased height for an Eligible Facilities Request per Federal Rule can be accommodated with maintenance of integrity of stealth design. 5. Maximum height for the Wireless Communications Facility perimeter fences shall be 12 feet. e. The wireless communication tower shall retain the stealth properties as originally designed. Any damaged or missing faux cactus shrouds shall be replaced within 60 days of such damage occurring. f. A Minor Amendment approved administratively shall be required to co-locate future carriers on the Wireless Communication Facility. g. This Special Use Permit is valid for a period of 20 years and shall expire on April 7, 2041, or upon termination of the use for a period of 90 or more days, whichever occurs first. All site improvements associated with the special use permit shall be removed within 90 days of such expiration or termination of use. h. 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. i . 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.
