8. NORTHWEST VALLEY RV STORAGE Case #: SU240027 Supervisor District: 4 Applicant and Owner: Lenny Behie, Ruff Diamond Properties, LLC Request: Special Use Permit (SUP) for RV/boat storage in the Rural-43 zoning district Site Location: Generally located at the NWC of 117th Ave. and Rose Garden Ln. in the Sun City area Commission Recommendation: On 6/26/25, the Commission voted 6-0 (motion by Commissioner Whitney D3, seconded by Commissioner Toma D4) to adopt a motion recommending the Board of Supervisors approve SU240027 subject to conditions ‘a’ – ‘h’: a. Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Site Plan entitled “Northwest Valley RV Storage”, consisting of 1 full-size sheet, dated March 3, 2025, and stamped received March 7, 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. Use of the proposed storage building is strictly limited to storage of RVs and boats only. Storage of any items other than a boat or RV, including items that are customarily considered ancillary to the use of a boat or RV are prohibited. c. If a portion or all the CMU screen wall is removed for right-of-way improvements the wall must be replaced and maintained at the property owner's expense within 60 days of the removal. d. 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 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 plans must be submitted with the application for building permits. 4. All retention basins shall drain within 36 hours per county requirements. 5. Driveway access to county roads must be paved and will require a permit from MCDOT issued concurrent with building permits required for site development. Drainage flow along the roadway must be maintained. 6. Storage of materials, walls/fence, parking, wells, septic systems and storm water retention are prohibited in the future right-of-way. 7. If required ADA parking stalls must be at or above the 100-year water surface elevation of the adjacent retention basin(s). 8. For sites located within the county’s urbanized area, a storm water pollution prevention permit (SWPPP) from the county will be required prior to issuance of any construction permits. This does not preclude the requirement to obtain a notice of intent to discharge (NOID) from the state (ADEQ), as may be required. e. This special use permit is valid for a period of 25 years and shall expire on July 23, 2050, 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. 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. Prior to issuance of the certificate of occupancy, local fire protection jurisdiction review and approval will be required. g. 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. 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, 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.
