Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Site Plan entitled “Special Use Permit for Saving Paws Rescue“ , consisting of one full-size s heet, dated August 21, 2019, and stamped received April 13, 2023, except as modified by the following conditions. Staff may determine slight refinements to remain in substantial conformance with the approved site plan. Minor and major amendments to the sit e plan will be determined in accordance with Chapter 3 of the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance. b. Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Narrative Report entitled “Saving Paws Rescue Arizona”, consisting of five pages, dated April 12, 2023, and stamped received April 13, 2023, except as modified by the following conditions. c. The following Planning Engineering conditions shall apply: 1. Final grading design shall ensure that the developed portion of the site drains to the retention basin. 2. 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. This special use permit is valid for a period of ten (10) years and shall expire on August 23, 2033, or upon the 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. e. Training and exercise area may not exceed 25% of the total p arcel and the outdoor area must be visually screened by a solid wall or buildings adjacent to any residential or rural zoning district. f. The number of customers/adopters shall not exceed five at any time, and shall only occur between the hours of 8 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. g. All dogs shall be placed indoor, within the designated kennels, and only allowed outdoors on a rotational routine between the hours of 6 a.m. and 8 p.m. h. This SUP allows the property owner to host up to a maximum of four (4) fundraiser or non-profit events per calendar year that exceed the three (3) volunteer person limit. The Property owner shall notify Maricopa County at least two weeks in advance of such events, including the date and hours of the event, which shall not exceed three (3) hours in length per event. i . Volunteers are considered employees. Therefore, the total number of non-resident person who volunteer and/or employed in connection with the business and are not an immediate family member as defined by ARS § 11-820, shal l not exceed three (3 ); except for special fundraiser or non-project events. j. Any outdoor lighting shall be in conformance with the provisions of Section 1112 of the Zoning Ordinance and shall be placed so as to reflect light away from any adjoining rur al or residential zoning district. k. Noncompliance with any Maricopa County Regulation shall be grounds for initiating revocation of this Special Use Permit as set forth in the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance. l. 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 condition s. 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 rev ocation 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 gran ted and reverting to the prior zoning results in the same value of the property as if the Special Use Permit had never been granted.
