12. ST. IGNATIUS ORTHODOX CHURCH Case #: Z2024035 Supervisor District: 2 Applicant & Owner: George R Everland, Everett Alan Group / St. Ignatius of Antiochian Orthodox Church Request: Special Use Permit (SUP) for a cemetery in the R1-35 zoning district Site Location: Generally located at the NWC of Hermosa Vista Dr. alignment and Usery Pass Rd. in the Mesa area Commission Recommendation: On 12/5/24, the Commission voted 5-0 (motion by Schlosser D4, seconded by Curley D3) to adopt a motion recommending the Board of Supervisors approve Z2024035 subject to conditions ‘a’ – ‘h’: a. Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Site Plan entitled “St. Ignatius Church Cemetery”, consisting of 4 full-size sheets, dated July 22, 2024, and stamped received September 10, 2024, 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 site 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 “St Ignatius Antiochian Church Cemetery”, consisting of 20 pages, dated July 22, 2024, and stamped received September 10, 2024 except as modified by the following conditions. c. The following engineering conditions shall apply: 1. 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. 2. Based on the conceptual design nature of the information submitted, changes to the site layout may be necessitated by the final engineering design of the site’s drainage infrastructure. 3. Detailed Grading and Drainage (Site Infrastructure) Plans must be submitted with the application for building permits. d. All outdoor lighting shall conform to the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance and shall be shielded and downward directed. e. Development of the site shall be in compliance with applicable Maricopa County Air Quality rules and regulations. f. Noncompliance with any Maricopa County regulations will be grounds for possible revocation of this special use permit pursuant to the process set forth in the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance. g. The property owner/s and their successors waive claim for diminution in value if the County takes action to rescind approval due to noncompliance with conditions. h. 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, , the property shall revert to the zoning/use 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.
