7. SUPERSTITION VIEW Case #: SU240026 Supervisor District: 2 Applicant & Owner: Linda Grice, Young Design Corp / Mountain Road Storage LLC Request: Special Use Permit (SUP) for a wireless communication facility (WCF) in the C-3 CUPD zoning district Site Location: Generally located 297’ north of the NEC of Mountain Rd. & Williams Field Rd. in the southeast Mesa area Commission Recommendation: On 2/6/25, the Commission voted 7-0 (motion by Commissioner Finter D2, seconded by Commissioner Milhaven D2) to adopt a motion recommending the Board of Supervisors approve SU240026 subject to conditions ‘a’ – ‘i’: a. Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Site Plan entitled “Superstition View“, consisting of 7 full-size sheets, dated January 16, 2025 and stamped received January 16, 2025 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 “Request for Use Permit Narrative Report – Superstition View”, consisting of 6 pages, stamped received January 20, 2025 except as modified by the following conditions. c. The following Planning Engineering conditions shall apply: 1. Engineering review of planning and/or zoning cases is for conceptual design 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. 2. Based upon the conceptual nature of the information submitted, changes to the site layout may be necessitated by the final design of the infrastructure. 3. The proposed construction appears to meet the requirements of the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance Section 1205.7.7 and as such a site plan containing the information on the attached checklist (Form 718) is required. 4. The CMU enclosure will require drainage openings (turned block, every other block, no decorative block permitted) along the bottom. 5. All work in the S. Mountain ROW will require a permit from MCDOT. Access to S. Mountain Road will require a paved driveway access (within the R/W) and a MCDOT R/W permit to be issued concurrent with building permit(s) for the WCF. Drainage along the roadway must be maintained. 6. The applicant must execute a Wireless Agreement with MCDOT for all equipment, conduit, F/O and other work that will be within MCDOT R/W. This agreement must be coordinated with Shannon Marucha, MCDOT Utility Senior Project Manager, 602-506-0068 or Shannon.Marucha@maricopa.gov d. The maximum height of the Wireless Communication Facility shall be limited to 100’. e. The maximum allowed antenna array diameter is 16’-2” unless an Eligible Facilities Request under Section 6409 of the Spectrum Act. f. A Minor Amendment shall be required to co-locate future carriers on the Wireless Communication Facility. g. This special use permit is valid for a period of 30 years and shall expire on March 12, 2055, 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 of the conditions assigned to the approval of this Special Use Permit by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors may be grounds for revocation in accordance with the requirements and procedures 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.
