7. HASSAYAMPA RANCH (Supervisorial District: 4) Case #: Z250047 Applicant and Owner: Wendy Riddell, Berry Riddell LLC / Hassayampa Rach 2040 Acres, LLC Request: Zone change from C-O, C-1, C-2, C-S, R-2, R-3, R1-6 & Rural-43 all within a PAD overlay zone to IND-2 IUPD Site Location: Generally located approx. 1 mile north of the northwest corner of 339th Ave. & Indian School Rd. in the Buckeye area Commission Recommendation: On 3/05/26, the Commission voted 5-1 (motion by Vice-Chair Hernandez D5, seconded by Commissioner Rochwalik, D3 with Toma, D4 dissenting) to adopt a motion recommending the Board of Supervisors approve Z250047 subject to conditions ‘a’ -‘k’: a. Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Narrative Report entitled “Hassayampa Ranch”, consisting of 13 pages, dated February 9, 2026, except as modified by the following conditions. The narrative shall be updated within 30 days of BOS approval to reflect the Solar Exclusion Zone. b. Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Zoning Exhibit entitled “Hassayampa Ranch“, consisting of 1 page, dated February, 2026, except as modified by the following conditions c. The following IND-2 IUPD standards shall apply: 1. Maximum Building Height – 85’, 32’ within 300’ from the southern property line, as described in the narrative as the Buffer Zone. 2. Minimum Side Setback - 0’, except when abutting a rural or residential zoning district, then 50’. 3. Minimum Rear Setback – 0’, except when abutting a rural or residential zoning district, then 50’. 4. Additional Setback Required – 150’ when abutting the southern property line, as described in the narrative as the Buffer Zone. 5. Minimum Parking - Warehouse/Data Center Uses: 1 space per 2,500 square feet of floor area. 6. Minimum Screening - 6’ solid wall except 8’ solid wall when adjacent to a rural or residential zoning district; 7. Permitted Uses – all uses permitted in the IND-2 zoning district, except there shall be limited uses within the identified Buffer Zone and Solar Exclusion Zone, and further that solar power generation shall be prohibited within 500’ of the southern boundary where adjacent to existing residential, as identified in Figure A, Solar Exclusion Zone, and wind power generation uses shall be prohibited in the IND-2 IUPD zoning district. d. The following engineering conditions shall apply: 1. There is currently no County access to the site from the south. The County completed Hidden Waters Parkway North feasibility study in 2012. The applicant shall refer to the preferred alignment study and coordinate with MCDOT to determine accessibility of the site. 2. Wash T2N-R5W-S33E ultimately outfalls into the Hassayampa River. Site also contains the Hassayampa River itself. Refer to Arizona Department of Environmental quality for a list of protected surface waters (PSWL) and Waters of the U.S. (WOTUS), regulated under the Clean Water Act and ADEQ requirements. Consult ADEQ for Hassayampa River which may be regulated by ADEQ as a federally protected water. 3. Engineering and drainage review was based on a zone change without a plan of development. Therefore, without the submittal of a precise plan of development, no development approval is inferred by this review, including, but not limited to number of proposed building lots/units, drainage design, access and roadway alignments. These items will be addressed as development plans progress and are submitted to the County for further review and/or entitlement. 4. Engineering review of re-zone cases is conceptual in nature. All development and engineering design shall be in conformance with Section 905 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. 5. The County does not provide fire service; therefore, it is incumbent that the applicant seek service and approval of plans from the jurisdictional fire service provider. e. Unless waived or modified by the County at time of subsequent development applications, the applicant or developer shall document implementation of the best practices and any recommendations by the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AGFD) related to habitat and wildlife resources. Should the Zoning Inspector and/or their designee decide that the owner or developer has not substantially undertaken these best practices in good faith, the owner or developer shall not receive final permits or certificate of occupancy until the best practices are implemented. f. Administrative approval of a plan of development will be required prior to approval and issuance of construction permits to develop and establish use of the site. g. 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. h. 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. 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, 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, 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 Zone Change. The Zone Change enhances the value of the property above its value as of the date the Zone Change is granted and reverting to the prior zoning results in the same value of the property as if the Zone Change had never been granted. j. All outdoor lighting within the IND-2 IUPD zoning district shall comply with Maricopa County’s outdoor light control provisions at time of permitting. k. The development shall dedicate the ultimate 65’ half-width right-of-way for Bethany Home Road along the northern boundary of the IND-2 IUPD zoning district with future entitlement applications.
