8. ALL THINGS METAL Case #: MCP240002 Supervisor District: 4 Applicant & Owner: Jack Gilmore, Gilmore Planning and Landscape Architecture/Industrial Steel Ranch, LLC Request: Military Compatibility Permit (MCP) with a Plan of Development (POD) for fabricated metal production and manufacturing in the Rural-43 MAAMF WHSC zoning district. Per Arizona Revised Statutes, the proposed land use has been deemed to be compatible and consistent with the high noise or accident potential zone of a Military Airport or Ancillary Military Facility. Site Location: Generally located at the SWC of 195th Ave. and Jomax Rd. in the Wittmann area Commission Recommendation: On 3/6/25, the Commission voted 8-1 (motion by Commissioner Milhaven D2, seconded by Commissioner Leighton D4 with Commissioner Toma D4 dissenting) to adopt a motion recommending the Board of Supervisors approve MCP240002 subject to conditions ‘a’ - ‘h’: a. Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Site Plan entitled “All Things Metal,” consisting of one full-size sheet, dated February 21, 2025, and stamped received February 21, 2025, except as modified by the following conditions. b. Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Narrative Report entitled “Application for a Military Compatibility Permit for All Things Metal,” consisting of 14 pages, dated October 31, 2024, and stamped received October 31, 2024, 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 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. 4. All disturbed or developed portions of the entire site shall be retained onsite. 5. Any development beyond the development shown in this plan shall require that all adjacent half-streets’ runoff shall be retained onsite. 6. Sufficient retention volume shall be provided onsite to retain the required 100-year, 2-hour runoff from all contributing areas. Retention basins with stormwater depths exceeding one foot shall provide one foot of freeboard. 7. Prior to the issuance of building permits for this project, the owner shall record a (blanket) drainage easement to ensure the drainage infrastructure is maintained and preserved on the subject parcels. 8. All retention basins shall drain within 36 hours per County requirements. 9. All conveyance along the west property line must be by channel or swale and not by berm. 10. Any development beyond the development shown in this plan shall require that another traffic study meeting MCDOT requirements shall be approved by MCDOT prior to the approval of any building permits. The recommendations of the approved traffic study shall be required for any development beyond the development proposed with this planning case. 11. North 195th Avenue shall be developed per the Phase 1 widening offsite plans with the development proposed by this planning case. d. All buildings subject to noise attenuation as per ARS § 28-8482(B). e. The following MCP standards shall apply: 1. Maximum Building Height: 45’. 2. Maximum Height of Building Appurtenances: 1’ for each 1’ setback from the MCP area perimeter, up to 100’. 3. Minimum Setbacks from the MCP area perimeter: 20’. 4. Minimum Setbacks from lot lines and noise contours within the interior of the MCP area: 0’. 5. Maximum Lot Coverage: 30% of the MCP area. 6. Parking Spaces required: 1 per 900 SF of floor area. 7. Screening: minimum 6’ wall with steel panels along perimeter or temporary chainlink fencing along interior phase lines until built out with perimeter screening; otherwise, screening interior to the MCP area is waived. 8. Surfacing for onsite driveways and parking: pavement or stabilized DG. f. Prior to issuance of a building permit, written confirmation will be required from the emergency fire protection jurisdiction having authority that the facility has been designed in accordance with their regulations and requirements, and that emergency fire protection service will be provided to the facility (or documentation that the property participates in a fire district). Prior to issuance of the certificate of occupancy, local fire protection jurisdiction review and approval will be required. g. The property owners 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 may be considered by the Board after recommendation by the Commission at a public hearing for reversion to the zoning that existed on the date of application. It is, therefore, stipulated and agreed that revocation due to the failure to comply with any conditions 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 of the MCP. The MCP enhances the value of the property above its value as of the date the MCP is granted and reverting to the prior zoning results in the same value of the property as if the MCP had never been granted.
