Dear Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission, 
I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed commercial trucking and semi-truck 
parking operation within our rural residential community. 
Our neighborhood was established as a rural residential area where families chose to live because of its 
peaceful environment, low traffic, and safe surroundings. Introducing a commercial trucking operation 
into this area is incompatible with the character and purpose of our community. 
My concerns include, but are not limited to, the following: 
 
Safety of Children: Our neighborhood is home to many families with children who walk, ride 
bicycles, and play outdoors. The increased presence of large commercial trucks creates 
significant safety hazards due to limited visibility, increased stopping distances, and frequent 
vehicle movements.  
 
Traffic and Road Safety: A trucking operation will dramatically increase the volume of heavy 
commercial traffic on roads that were designed primarily for residential use. This will increase 
congestion, accelerate road deterioration, and create unsafe driving conditions for residents. 
 
Noise Pollution: Semi-trucks produce constant engine noise, air brake releases, backup alarms, 
idling, and loading or unloading activity. These noises can occur early in the morning, late at night, 
or throughout the day, disrupting the quiet enjoyment of our homes. 
 
Hours of Operation: Commercial trucking businesses often operate beyond traditional business 
hours, including evenings, overnight, weekends, and holidays. This level of activity is inconsistent 
with the expectations of a rural residential neighborhood. 
 
Environmental Concerns: Diesel fuel, motor oil, hydraulic fluids, antifreeze, and other 
contaminants present risks of soil and groundwater contamination. Fueling, maintenance, and 
accidental spills could negatively impact surrounding properties and the local environment. 
 
Trash and Property Maintenance: Commercial vehicle operations often generate litter, 
discarded vehicle parts, packaging materials, and other waste. These impacts can diminish the 
appearance and cleanliness of neighboring properties.

2
 
Loss of Privacy: The proposed operation is located near our shared fence line. Large trucks 
parked adjacent to residential properties will overlook yards, reduce privacy, and fundamentally 
change the residential nature of our homes. 
 
Impact on Property Values: The constant presence of commercial trucking activity, increased 
noise, traffic, and industrial appearance are likely to negatively affect surrounding property values 
and make our homes less desirable. 
Our community has invested significant time and resources into maintaining the rural residential 
character of this area. Approving a commercial trucking and semi-truck parking operation would 
establish an incompatible land use that could set a precedent for additional commercial or industrial 
encroachment in the future. 
I respectfully ask the Planning and Zoning Commission to carefully consider the long-term impact this 
proposal would have on the health, safety, welfare, and quality of life of the surrounding residents. I urge 
you to deny this request and preserve the integrity and character of our rural residential community. 
Thank you for your time, consideration, and service to our community. 
Respectfully, 
Marcus & Jessica Hankerson 
7330 N 157th Ave,                                               Litchfield Park, AZ 85340

Dear Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission, 
I am writing to formally express my strong opposition to the continued use of property associated with 
MCP26002 as a commercial trucking and semi-truck parking operation within our rural residential 
community. 
My family and I reside on irrigated two-acre residential property in an area that has long been 
characterized by rural living, agricultural uses, and equestrian activities. Residents have intentionally 
invested in this community because of its unique rural character, open space, and peaceful 
environment. The introduction of large-scale commercial trucking activities into the center of an 
established residential neighborhood is fundamentally incompatible with the surrounding land uses 
and poses significant concerns regarding public safety, quality of life, and the long-term welfare of the 
community. 
Public Safety Concerns 
The most immediate concern is public safety. The roads in our area were designed to serve rural 
residential properties, not commercial trucking operations. The continual movement of semi-trucks and 
heavy commercial vehicles increases the risk of traffic accidents and creates hazardous conditions for 
residents, visitors, children, pedestrians, bicyclists, and horseback riders.

3
Many residents in our neighborhood utilize local roads for horseback riding and agricultural activities. 
Horses and mules can be easily startled by air brakes, engine noise, backup alarms, and heavy truck 
traffic. The presence of commercial trucking operations in close proximity to livestock creates 
unnecessary risks of injury to both animals and people. 
24-Hour Commercial Operations 
We are particularly concerned about the apparent 24-hour nature of the business activities occurring on 
the property. Commercial vehicles arriving and departing throughout the day and night generate 
continual disturbances that are inconsistent with residential living. 
Noise from idling diesel engines, air brake releases, truck maintenance activities, backup alarms, 
lighting, and employee activity significantly impacts neighboring residents' ability to peacefully enjoy 
their homes. Residents should not be subjected to industrial-level activity at all hours in a rural 
residential neighborhood. 
Impact on Rural Character and Quality of Life 
The rural character of our community is one of its most valuable assets. Families moved here expecting 
a low-density residential environment where agriculture, livestock ownership, and outdoor living could 
coexist peacefully. 
A commercial trucking yard introduces industrial activities that are completely inconsistent with the 
existing character of the neighborhood. The increase in commercial vehicles, employee traffic, 
equipment storage, and operational activity diminishes the qualities that have defined this community 
for decades. 
Environmental and Health Concerns 
Heavy diesel truck traffic creates concerns regarding: 
 Diesel exhaust emissions 
 Increased dust generation 
 Air quality impacts 
 Noise pollution 
 Fuel and oil leaks 
 Potential contamination of surrounding properties and irrigation systems 
Residents should not have to endure these impacts simply because a commercial operation has been 
introduced into the midst of a residential area. 
Property Values 
The presence of an active trucking operation directly impacts the desirability and marketability of 
surrounding properties. Property owners who have invested significant resources into maintaining rural 
residential and equestrian properties should not suffer economic harm because of incompatible 
commercial land uses nearby.

4
The continued expansion of industrial and commercial activities into residential areas threatens 
property values and undermines the long-term stability of the neighborhood. 
Request for Action 
I respectfully request that Maricopa County carefully review: 
 Whether the current use complies with all applicable zoning requirements. 
 Whether commercial trucking and truck parking activities are compatible with surrounding rural 
residential land uses. 
 The impact of 24-hour operations on neighboring residents. 
 Traffic and roadway safety concerns. 
 The effects on horses, livestock, and equestrian activities. 
 Noise, air quality, and environmental impacts. 
 Any code enforcement issues associated with the operation. 
Our community supports responsible growth and development. However, commercial trucking 
operations that operate around the clock in the middle of a rural residential neighborhood are not 
compatible with the intent and character of the area. 
The residents of this community have invested their lives, resources, and futures in preserving a unique 
rural residential neighborhood built around agriculture, livestock, equestrian activities, and family living. 
We should not be expected to sacrifice our safety, health, peace, property values, and quality of life for 
a commercial trucking operation that is fundamentally incompatible with the surrounding land uses. 
This issue extends beyond noise and traffic. It is about protecting the integrity of an established 
community and ensuring that zoning and land use decisions serve the residents they were intended to 
protect. Once the rural character of our neighborhood is lost, it cannot simply be restored. 
I respectfully urge the Planning and Zoning Commission to reject any request that would allow the 
continuation or expansion of commercial trucking activities at this location and to take all necessary 
steps to preserve the rural residential character, public safety, and quality of life of the families who call 
this community home. 
We are not opposed to responsible business development. However, industrial-scale trucking 
operations do not belong in the middle of an established rural residential neighborhood. I ask that the 
County stand with its residents and uphold the intent of its zoning regulations before irreversible 
damage is done to our community. 
The decision made today will determine whether future generations inherit the peaceful rural 
community that residents have worked for decades to preserve, or a neighborhood gradually 
transformed into an industrial corridor. I respectfully ask that you choose to protect the residents, 
families, livestock, and property owners who have long invested in and cared for this community. 
Thank you for your time, consideration, and commitment to protecting the health, safety, and welfare of 
Maricopa County residents. 
Sincerely,

I would like to echo the sentiments that Karen has mentioned below. While I only have one of these 
commercial businesses on my fence line, the impact is still huge. In addition to everything stated below, 
I want to also add my concerns about the cleanliness of the local roads. In the last year, we have seen a 
huge jump in the amount of trash thrown out of vehicles along our roads, including paper, foliage and 
cuttings, plastic, dirty diapers, cans, broken furniture, and even a large pile of discarded tires. I’ve been 
in this house for almost 40 years and trash has NEVER been a problem—until we began allowing this 
commercial presence into the neighborhood. Not only is it unsightly, but it is unhealthy for those of us 
who live here. 
  
Another unmentioned concern I have is the safety of the residents. With a huge influx of transient 
individuals, I have a concern that safety of our persons and property may soon become an issue. These 
people do not live here and, as demonstrated by the piles of trash, they have no concern for those of us 
who do. The county would never allow me to split my one acre of land and sell half of it to another family
to build a single family home to house a family of 4 or 5 people. Yet, businesses are allowed to bring in 
people by the hundreds and line them up along the base fencing, or to come and go all hours of the day 
and night to park expensive rigs that rival the cost of homes? Where is the logic in that? I Googled to find 
out what the reasoning is behind the Air Force land use plan and this is what Gemini said… “to balance 
public health, safety, and welfare with the preservation of national defense flying missions.” I fail to 
understand how this situation meets that definition. How is it even fathomable that allowing long-term 
residents to build on smaller lots is a greater national defense risk than allowing a flood of transients 
with no respect for the neighborhood (or for local culture) full access to residential facilities around the 
edge of an Air Force base? 
  
I must also point out that I have a concern about how slowly the wheels of justice turn around here. I 
don’t know if it is the processes or the staffing levels at the County, but by the time we get around to 
making any decisions on these potential businesses, they have already torn down facilities, paved lots, 
dug huge holes, and basically ruined the property for any of the uses for which it was originally intended. 
So we are damned if we do and damned if we don’t. If we let them stay, we deal with increased crime, 
trash, traffic, noise, dust, air pollution, and a host of other issues. On the other hand, these buyers have 
learned that they have to move fast. So if we do succeed in forcing them out, the properties have already 
been razed to bare dirt or paved over in such a way that they are no longer rural residential. So we could 
potentially end up with a lot of abandoned, paved, or vacant properties peppering the neighborhood 
that could take years to resell, possibly at lower prices, dragging property values down. I many cases, 
we are already seeing this. Drive down Glendale and look at the properties that are in a limbo state of 
sale…they are dirt lots full of weeds. I am already being advised that if I were to sell my home, I would 
not be able to sell it as a horse property…it would now have to sell as “commercial,” but at a lower price 
because I do not have true “commercial access”. Seriously? 
  
The residents in this community have done our best to abide by the rules, but it is starting to feel like 
there are two sets of rules. How could we have lost our way so badly that not only have other properties 
shifted, but mine has shifted out from under me—all while the rules were supposedly in place to protect 
everyone?

Any assistance you can provide to the residents in this neighborhood is very much appreciated. I would 
like to ask if you could possibly forward a copy of this to Debbie Lesko’s office. I am told she is 
interested in what is happening in this neighborhood. Thank you for allowing me to submit this 
information.

I am writing to formally express deep concerns regarding the recent influx of commercial trucking and 
heavy transit operations into our rural residential neighborhood. The encroachment of industrial scale, 
vehicles, staging parking and traffic into areas designated for quiet rural living is causing significant 
disruption and distress to local residence. 
Our community was intentionally chosen and developed for its low density, quiet and rural atmosphere. 
The presence of commercial semi trucks, heavy haulers, truck shop equipment running and frequent 
diesel traffic directly conflict with the surrounding single-family residence. Heavy machinery operating 
at all hours strips away the safety and peace that define rural residential living. The constant presence 
of employees for commercial truckers at our fence line is not only disturbing, it’s an assault on one’s 
privacy when out of doors. 
The continuous noise pollution, including idling engines, Jake breaks, airhorns, and late night backup 
alarms, severely impaired our daily lives and sleep quality. Constant exposure to low frequency, engine, 
vibration, ambient noise, and airborne diesel emissions has created elevated stress, anxiety, and sleep 
deprivation among Neighbors. Directly harming our mental and physical well-being. 
Our local rural roads were not engineered to sustain the weight, turn radius or frequency of heavy 
commercial vehicles. Increase semi truck traffic creates immediate safety hazards for pedestrian 
families, school, buses and horseback riders. These heavy loads accelerate road deterioration, creating 
dangerous, potholes, and dust hazards. 
Not one of the four commercial trucking operations on my personal fence line are following the laws and 
rules of the county. They disregard and disrespect county regulations/law and long established family 
homes.

Any and all efforts to remove these intruders and preserve the safety and health of this unique 
neighborhood are greatly appreciated. 
 
Sincerely, 
 
Karen A Tisler
