Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Zoning Exhibit entitled “Camelback Creek Zoning Exhibit“, consisting of 1 full-size sheet dated March 27, 2026, except as modified by the following conditions.

Prior to grading the site, Developer shall complete and submit an archaeological/historical review to the Arizona State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). d. 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. 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. e. The applicant shall provide “Will Serve” letters for all utilities/service providers prior to issuance of building permits. f. The following IUPD development standards shall apply: 1. Maximum Height: 85 feet 2. Minimum Parking: Warehouse/Data Center Uses: 1 space per 2,500 square feet 3. Minimum Screening: 6-foot CMU wall, except 8’ CMU wall adjacent to rural or residential zoning districts 4. Minimum Perimeter Screening: At least a 50’ landscaped setback along northern boundary of the IND-2 IUPD zoning district 5. Permitted Uses: Until such time as the site is served by sewer, uses on the site shall only be those acceptable to the Maricopa County Environmental Services Department (MCESD) where wastewater disposal can be accommodated by on-site septic systems. A public water system shall be required prior to establishment of any non-residential use that requires potable water. g. The following 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. Maricopa County does not supply water, fire or sewer services. It is the applicant/owner’s responsibility to coordinate and secure water, fire and sewer services for this site. 4. Sealed final Grading and Drainage (Site Infrastructure) Plans and Sealed Final drainage report must be submitted with the application for Building Permits 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.
