7. CROSSLAND BAPTIST CHURCH BELL TOWER Case #: Z2023034 Supervisor District: 4 Applicant/Owner: Misty Hunter, Smartlink Group / Crossland Baptist Church of Arizona Request: Special Use Permit (SUP) for a wireless communication facility (WCF) in the Rural-43 zoning district Site Location: Generally located about 1,650’ south and 1,000’ west of the SWC of Camelback Road and Perryville Road in the Buckeye area Commission Recommendation: On 3/6/25, the Commission voted 6-2 (motion by Commissioner Milhaven D2, seconded by Commissioner Toma D4 with Commissioner Hernandez D5, and Leighton D4, dissenting) to adopt a motion recommending the Board of Supervisors approve Z2023034 subject to conditions ‘a’ – ‘j’: a. Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Site Plan entitled “AZL01736 Crossroad Baptist,” consisting of 7 full-size sheets, dated February 21, 2025, and stamped received February 21, 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 “AT&T AZL01736,” consisting of 8 pages and stamped received July 23, 2024, except as modified by the following conditions. c. The following Planning Engineering conditions shall apply: 1. At the time of application for permit, a grading and drainage plan shall be required to demonstrate compensatory storm water retention from the disturbance required to construct the WCF. The grading and drainage plan shall be based on a current topographic survey and prepared in accordance with County requirements. Maximum fill slopes shall not exceed 3:1. 2. Engineering review of Special Use Permit cases is conceptual in nature. 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 maximum height of the Wireless Communication Facility shall be limited to 80’. e. A Minor Amendment shall be required to co-locate future carriers on the Wireless Communication Facility. f. The wireless communication tower shall retain the stealth properties as originally designed. Any damaged or missing stealth aesthetic elements shall be replaced within 60 days of such damage occurring. g. This special use permit is valid for a period of 30 years and shall expire on April 9, 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. The following SUP standards shall apply: 1. Maximum WCF antenna array diameter: 18.5’ 2. Minimum setback from north lot line: 75’ 3. Minimum setback from west lot line: 24’ i. 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. j. 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 may be considered for revocation 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.
