Comments: 
The proposed zone change covers seven properties.  The applicant

and plans to eventually annex into the city.  City staff have provided 
their full support for the proposed zone change and confirmed that 
this will be a piece of a larger commercial district within the city. 
Aside from support from Mesa no other public comment was 
received.  There are no outstanding concerns from reviewing 
agencies.  
Commission  
 
Recommendation: 
On 6/22/23, the Commission voted 6-0 to adopt a motion 
recommending the Board of Supervisors approve Z2023027 
subject to conditions ‘a’ – ‘f’:  
 
a. 
Development of the site shall be in conformance with the zoning exhibit entitled “Signal 
Butte & SR24“, consisting of 1 full-size sheet, dated May 8, 2023, and stamped received 
May 18, 2023, except as modified by the following conditions.  
 
b. 
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Narrative Report 
entitled “Rezone Narrative Berge Auto Mall”, consisting of 3 pages, dated May 18, 2023, 
and stamped received May 18, 2023, except as modified by the following conditions. 
 
c. 
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

July 27, 2023 
Z2023027 
Page 2 of 3 
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. 
 
d. 
The Following Planning and Development Engineering conditions shall apply: 
1. 
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. 
2. 
A traffic impact study must be submitted with future entitlement (POD) 
applications(s). 
3. 
Right-of-way dedication along 222nd Street and Signal Butte Road may be required 
to accommodate road improvements required for site development. 
4. 
Portions of Signal Butte Road are within the jurisdiction of the City of Mesa.  The 
applicant will be responsible for coordinating with the city to review any traffic 
impact, right-of-way dedication, permitting or roadway improvement requirements 
within its jurisdiction. 
5. 
The application is responsible for coordinating any requirements with ADOT given 
the site’s proximity to SR-24.  
6. 
Engineering review of re-zone 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. 
 
e. 
Noncompliance with these listed conditions or with any Maricopa County Regulation 
shall be considered a zoning violation in accordance with the Maricopa County Zoning 
Ordinance and grounds for initiating a revocation of this Zone Change as set forth in the 
Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance.  
 
f. 
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 
shall revert 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.

Project Summary: 
 
1. 
The zone change request covers seven properties, six of which are currently zoned Rural-43 and 
one is zoned Rural-43 with a special use permit (Z2021163) for RV and boat storage.  Along with 
the zone change request, the applicant is also requesting that the previously approved SUP be 
repealed so that there are not multiple layers of entitlement cases over a portion of the subject 
properties.  The proposal is only for a zone change at this time, so no details about potential 
access or site design have been provided for the proposed auto mall. The applicant has been 
working closely with the City of Mesa on these properties and they will eventually be annexed into 
the city to be part of a larger mixed-use development.  Mesa staff has given their full support for 
the proposed zone change.   
 
2. 
Of the seven parcels included with the zone change request, only one, APN 304-34-204B, has 
recent case history outside of the subject request.  That parcel was subject to SUP 2021163 for 
a RV and boat storage facility which was approved by the board of supervisors (BOS) on October 
19, 2022.  There was a preapplication meeting, PA2023001, held on the current request on 
January 24, 2023.  Formal submittal for the subject request was on March 1, 2023 and the 
associated technical advisory committee meeting was held on April 4, 2023.

The applicant met all minimum public participation requirements.  The subject site was posted 
with two signs, one on Signal Butte Rd. and one on 222nd St. in addition to mailers that were sent 
to all property owners within 300’ of the subject site.  The applicant did not report any response 
generated from their public participation efforts.  Staff likewise has not received any public 
feedback on the case outside of support from the City of Mesa.

Page 6 of 8 
9. 
The applicant’s proposal is for a zone change from Rural-43 to C-3 with no overlay or associated 
plan of development.  Staff typically would be hesitant of general C-3 zoning, however, the City of 
Mesa has provided documentation of their support for the proposal and has indicated that the 
site will eventually be annexed into the city as a part of a larger planed mixed use area. Mesa also 
indicated that they intend to provide all utilities and services to the site.  Staff notes that the site 
has direct freeway access at the intersection of Signal Butte Rd. and SR-24 which lends to high 
intensity commercial uses.  The applicant also requests that recently approved SUP Z2021163 
be repealed  to avoid unnecessary complexities having layered zoning entitlements over a portion 
of the subject site.  Additionally, the SUP was for RV and boat storage, which is an allowed use in 
C-3 zoning and thus rendering the SUP redundant. Staff has no concerns over the proposed zone 
change.

Introduction 
Pew & Lake, PLC., on behalf of our client, The Berge Family, is pleased to submit this application and 
project narrative to Maricopa County. The proposed development will consist of auto dealerships 
located at Signal Butte Road, between Williams Field Road & the future SR-24. The Property is 
approximately 24.61 acres that will be included in the approximately 114-acre Auto Mall being 
developed by The Berge Family. Figure 1 and Table 1 below illustrate the parcels being included in 
this application.

Chapter 11, Section 1102. Although the parcels in this application are being designed as auto 
dealerships, the overall development will be a cohesive and high-quality Auto Mall that offers a 
variety of commercial and retail. Multi-family housing is being considered on the parcels within the 
City of Mesa.  
 
Currently, there is an existing SUP (Z2021163) for RV storage on APN 304-34-204B. The applicant is 
requesting this entitlement to be sunset as C-3 zoning allows for such use.  
Relationship to Surrounding Properties 
The proposed development will complement the surrounding area and add to the future Berge Auto 
Mall complex. The area is mostly vacant, with a few residential lots just north of the subject parcels. 
The Berge Family has been working with the City of Mesa to develop this mixed-use development 
since 2019. Over time, the Berge family has acquired additional land to be included in the overall 
development.

circulation is provided.

Phasing  
The development phasing of the parcels in this application will be based upon unknown future real 
estate market conditions and the timing of Maricopa County & City of Mesa approvals. The Property 
will be developed in several phases, subject to Maricopa County & City of Mesa approval. Each 
“Parcel” delineated on the Site Plan is conceptually a phase, the order of which has not yet been 
determined. 
Conclusion 
The Berge Family is looking forward to working with Maricopa County to bring an outstanding Auto Mall to 
the area.

PND Engineering has reviewed the 1st submittal for the subject application routed 
for review on March 6, 2023, and has no objections subject to the following 
conditions: 
 
1. 
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. 
 
2. 
A traffic impact study must be submitted with future entitlement (POD) 
application(s). 
 
3. 
Right-of-way dedication along 222nd Street and Signal Butte Road may be 
required to accommodate road improvements required for site development. 
 
4. 
Portions of Signal Butte Road are within the jurisdiction of the City of Mesa. 
The applicant will be responsible for coordinating with the City to review any 
traffic impact, right-of-way dedication, permitting or roadway improvement 
requirements within its jurisdiction. 
 
5. 
The applicant is responsible for coordinating any requirements with ADOT 
given the site’s proximity to SR24.
