Project Summary: 
 
1. 
The applicant, Chris Webb of Rose Law Group on behalf of the property owner, is requesting a 
Zone Change with Overlay  from Rural-43 to C-3 CUPD for approximately 11.45 acres located at 
the northeast corner of Happy Valley Parkway and 115th Avenue. The proposed CUPD would 
facilitate a commercial project anticipated to include retail/commercial pads, office space, a 
drive-thru restaurant, a convenience store/gas station, a car wash, and a self-storage facility. 
Although not incorporated into this request, there will be subsequent Plan of Development (POD) 
application/s submitted for administrative review and approval. 
 
2. 
The application was filed in spring 2024 and has been revised several times, most recently in mid-
June to reflect updated site planning and an increase in intensity shifting the requested base 
district from C-2 to C-3. Hours of operation and the number of on-site employees will be 
determined at the POD stage but will vary for each business (and are not regulated by the zoning 
ordinance). Screening will consist of a 6' solid wall along the north and west property lines 
abutting rural/residential zoning. There will be a 3' parking screen wall proposed along the east 
property line, which currently abuts vacant land under separate consideration for commercial 
rezoning. Access to the eastern portion of the site is provided via three new driveways: two on 
Happy Valley Pkwy. (right-in/right-out only, with deceleration lanes) and one on 115th Ave. Access 
to the western portion is provided via two new driveways on 115th Ave. No access is proposed 
from Avenida Del Rey. The project proposes 198 parking spaces, including 10 required ADA-
compliant spaces, which the applicant states exceeds Maricopa County's minimum parking 
requirements. 
 
3. 
Three  deviations from C-3 base zoning are requested with the proposed CUPD overlay that 
include a reduced 3' parking screen wall (in lieu of the standard 6' solid wall) along the east 
property line, which abuts vacant as previously stated; and a parking ratio for the self-storage use 
in line with the City of Peoria's "mini storage" ratios; and finally, a decrease in the proximity of 
drive-thru speaker callboxes from 200’ to 100’. The CUPD also includes several self-imposed, 
more restrictive standards, including a maximum building height of 30' for most uses (up to 40' 
for self-storage buildings and automobile sales/service uses) and increased perimeter setbacks 
for specific commercial uses adjacent to the residential neighborhood to the north. The applicant 
has also included use restrictions within the overlay. All variations to the underlying zoning are 
detailed in the table on the next page.

Adopted Plans: 
7.
White Tank/Grand Avenue Area Plan (adopted December 2023): This area plan designates the
Site as “Single Family – Transitional Lot”.
8.
Maricopa County Framework 2040 Comprehensive Plan: The site is within an area of municipal
influence and multiple urban land uses are proposed. The site is adjacent to the City of Peoria via
Happy Valley Pkwy. There does not appear to be an assurance of annexation for these parcels at
this time – however, the applicant has received will-serve letters from EPCOR indicating they will
provide water and wastewater services for the site. Therefore, urban land uses are appropriate
for the site.
9.
City of Peoria General Plan 2040 [adopted 10/30/2024]: The general plan designates the site
"Rural Residential" and "Parks/Open Space." The site is located immediately adjacent to Happy
Valley Parkway at its intersection with 115th Avenue, a growth corridor for both the City and
County; the requested Zone Change with Overlay would introduce commercial uses consistent
with the area's emerging development pattern along this corridor.
Public Participation Summary: 
10.
The applicant complied with the requirements of the Maricopa County Citizen Review 
Process with the required posting of the site and notification by first class mail to adjacent 
property owners within 300 feet of the subject parcel and interested parties. The applicant 
submitted a Public Participation Results Report. To date, staff has received eight letters of 
opposition from homeowners in the community north of the site. Concerns from the 
community include noise, smell, traffic, light pollution, and disruption of rural quality of life.
11.
It is staff’s understanding that the applicant has worked with the community to attempt to 
address concerns raised at neighborhood meetings. 
Outstanding Concerns from Reviewing Agencies: 
12.
N/A
Staff Analysis: 
13.
Based on the Site's location within an established growth corridor and the mitigating development 
standards proposed in the CUPD, staff supports approval of the request. The Site is located at
the Happy Valley Parkway/Loop 303 interchange, an established and growing commercial
corridor, and is bordered by existing rural-residential uses to the north, vacant land and a separate
pending commercial rezoning to the east, Happy Valley Parkway and future commercial
development to the south, and vacant land to the west. The requested C-3 CUPD zoning
represents a significant shift from the site's current "Single Family – Transitional Lot" designation
under the White Tank/Grand Avenue Area Plan; however, the Site's location adjacent to Happy
Valley Parkway and the Loop 303, together with the surrounding area's ongoing transition to
commercial use, supports the requested change. Water and wastewater service will be provided
by EPCOR, and the applicant demonstrates that adequate infrastructure is available to serve the
project. To mitigate the proximity to existing rural residential, the proposed CUPD limits the
maximum building height to no more than 30' (for most uses), and provides perimeter screening
and increased perimeter setbacks for uses such as drive-through lanes and loading areas

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

Z2024019 
Page 10 of 10 
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.

#982240v1 
 
Background & Purpose of Request 
 
AroundTown Developers, LLC is proposing the development of a new commercial project 
(the “Project”) on approximately 11.45 gross acres located at the northeast corner of 
Happy Valley Parkway and 115th Avenue in unincorporated Maricopa County, comprising 
APNs 201-21-041D, 201-21-041E, 201-21-042B, and 201-21-043A (the “Site”). An Aerial 
Vicinity Map is attached hereto as Exhibit A.  
 
The Site is currently zoned RU-43 and is located within Maricopa County’s White 
Tank/Grand Avenue Area Plan which designates the Site as “Single Family – Transitional 
Lot”. The Site is also located within the General Plan planning area of the City of Peoria, 
which designates the Site as “Rural Residential” and “Parks/Open Space.” 
 
The purpose of this request is to pursue approval of a Zone Change with Overlay from 
RU-43 to “C-3 (General Commercial)” with a corresponding Commercial Unit Plan of 
Development (“CUPD”) to facilitate the proposed development of the Project. A 
corresponding Plan of Development application will be submitted in the near future. It 
should be noted that because of the relatively small size of the Site (approximately 11.45 
acres), a corresponding amendment of the White Tank/Grand Avenue Area Plan is not 
required. 
 
 
Description of Proposal 
  
While final design details and uses will be determined during the subsequent Plan of 
Development process, the proposed Project currently anticipates a dynamic mix of uses 
that may include commercial/retail pads, office uses, drive-thru restaurants/coffee shops, 
a convenience store/gas station, car wash, a self-storage facility with vehicle storage and 
truck/trailer rentals. The convenience store/gas station and car wash uses, strategically 
laid out on the hard corner frontage of the Site, would offer convenient access for users 
within the surrounding area. Additionally, approximately 95,000 S.F. of self-storage, 
vehicle storage and truck/trailer rental and related office space is envisioned, along with 
approximately 5,800 S.F. of stand-alone office space, and approximately 5,400 S.F. of 
drive-thru restaurant/coffee shop space, all designed with fluid circulation considering 
immediate access to Happy Valley Parkway and the Loop 303 just to the west. In total 
there will be approximately 115,000 S.F. of commercial uses with a lot coverage of 
approximately 23% of the Site (see Conceptual Site Plan attached here to as Exhibit 
B). The western portion of the Site (west of the wash) will likely be developed as a “2nd 
phase” with specific uses determined during the subsequent Plan of Development 
process. 
 
Parking will be located within an interior parking area providing accessibility and 
convenience for customers. The proposed 198 parking spaces across the Site exceeds 
Maricopa County requirements, and includes all required ADA-compliant parking spaces, 
ensuring accessibility for individuals with disabilities. Additionally, the required 
loading/unloading spaces have been provided. Access to the eastern portion of the Site

#982240v1 
(east of the wash) is provided via three new entrances; one directly from 115th Avenue 
approximately 325’ north of the intersection with Happy Valley Parkway, one directly from 
Happy Valley Parkway approximately 450’ east of the intersection with 115th Avenue, and 
another one directly from Happy Valley Parkway further to the east on the common 
property line between the Site and APN 201-21-044A. Both Happy Valley Parkway 
access points will be right-in, right-out only and will be thoughtfully designed with 
deceleration lanes to facilitate smooth ingress and egress, prioritizing the flow of traffic 
along Happy Valley Parkway.  The easternmost access point will also serve as a shared 
access point with APN 201-21-044A which is also being rezoned for commercial use. 
Access to the western portion of the Site (west of the wash) is provided via two new 
entrances off of 115th Avenue. No access is provided from Avenida Del Rey in order to 
minimize any traffic impacts on the residences to the north of the Site. 
 
It should be noted that a LOMR for the Site was recently approved by FEMA resulting in 
the majority of the eastern portion of the Site being removed from the floodplain. The 
western portion of the site may be removed at a later date via a separate CLOMR/LOMR 
application process. 
 
In terms of aesthetics and functionality, the proposed buildings will exhibit a thoughtful 
integration into the surrounding landscape by mimicking the similar high-quality 
commercial developments located along Happy Valley Parkway. The color palette, 
construction materials, and design details will be carefully chosen to harmonize with the 
environment and will be sensitive to the nearby Agua Fria River corridor.  
 
While landscaping and screening details will be finalized during the subsequent Plan of 
Development process, the current proposed screen walls and landscaping, including 
appropriate desert trees and shrubs, will be located strategically throughout the Site, with 
a priority around the perimeter of the Site to ensure adequate screening and noise 
buffering to adjacent residential uses (see Conceptual Landscape Plan attached here 
to as Exhibit C). The Site’s 115th Avenue frontage will be landscaped in accordance with 
Maricopa County standards. This Project is poised to contribute positively to the local 
community by providing a vibrant and accessible space for various commercial activities 
that will serve this rapidly growing area. 
 
 
Permitted Uses  
 
The proposed Zone Change with Overlay will facilitate development of the Site with 
neighborhood friendly commercial/office uses. In order to ensure compatibility with the 
surrounding area, the proposed CUPD will allow the majority of the permitted uses within 
Maricopa County’s “C-1” zoning district (with the exception of any multi-family residential 
uses), but only those permitted uses in the C-2 and C-3 zoning districts identified in Table 
1 – Permitted Uses below. Any uses not identified in Table 1 shall not be permitted.

Proposed Development Standards 
 
The Site will comply with the majority of Maricopa County’s C-3 base zoning district 
regulations and development standards. The proposed development standards for the 
Project, including one minor deviation to the C-3 development standards and one minor 
deviation to Maricopa County’s parking standards, are outlined in Table 2: C-3 
Development Standards Comparison and described below:  
 
1. This Zone Change with Overlay request includes a deviation for the required 
screening of the Site adjacent to Rural/Residential zone boundaries. As noted 
above, the Rural/Residential zoned property to the east is undeveloped and 
currently being considered for commercial rezoning. Consequently, it is proposed 
that only 3’ parking screen walls be located along the eastern property line to 
screen the Project. On all other property lines adjacent to Rural/Residential 
properties the require 6’ solid wall will be provided. 
 
2. This Zone Change with Overlay request also includes a deviation to the parking 
ratio for the proposed self-storage facility use. Because Maricopa County doesn’t 
provide a specific parking ratio for this type of use, this request proposes to use 
the City of Peoria’s parking ratios for this use (termed “mini storage”), which include 
separate ratios for the related office space and storage space itself. The proposed 
parking ratios are justified as they will avoid over parking the Site and allow 
additional landscape areas to be incorporated into the Site design. 
Additionally, to further increase compatibility with the existing residential uses in the area, 
the Project will self-impose certain more restrictive development standards. These more

#982240v1 
restrictive development standards are also outlined in Table 2: C-3 Development 
Standards Comparison and described below: 
 
1. This Zone Change with Overlay request will include a more restrictive maximum 
building height, limiting it to 30 feet instead of the 40 feet typically allowed in the 
C-3 base zoning district. The only exception would be for any C-2 Self-Storage 
Facilities and any C-3 Automobile Sales, Service and Rental uses which would be 
allowed up to a maximum building height of 40 feet. The proposed deviation will 
help enhance the Project’s compatibility with the surrounding area. 
 
2. The largest perimeter building setback adjacent to residential uses required by the 
C-3 zoning district is 25 feet. However, the Zone Change with Overlay request is

Relationship to Surrounding Properties 
 
The requested Zone Change with Overlay is compatible with the surrounding land uses. 
The Site is bordered on the north by existing rural residential uses, Avenida Del Rey and 
vacant land, on the east by existing rural residential uses, vacant land and future 
commercial uses, on the south by 115th Avenue, Happy Valley Parkway and future 
commercial uses, and on the west by 115th Avenue and vacant land. Consequently, 
approval of this request is consistent with the current and planned development of this 
rapidly growing area. Table 3: Surrounding Uses, Comprehensive Plan and Zoning 
Designations below provides a summary of existing and surrounding land uses.

Location & Accessibility 
 
The Site is located at the northeast corner of Happy Valley Parkway and 115th Avenue, 
just off of the Happy Valley Parkway/Loop 303 Freeway interchange. Access to the 
eastern portion of the Site (east of the wash) is provided via three new entrances; one 
directly from 115th Avenue approximately 325’ north of the intersection with Happy Valley 
Parkway, one directly from Happy Valley Parkway approximately 450’ east of the 
intersection with 115th Avenue, and another one directly from Happy Valley Parkway 
further to the east on the common property line between the Site and APN 201-21-044A. 
The easternmost access will would provide shared access for both parcels, thereby 
limiting the number of new access points onto Happy Valley Parkway. By locating this 
access on the common property line, which is also the 114th Avenue alignment, it could 
also provide future emergency access to Happy Valley Parkway for the residential 
properties to the north. Further these access points will be right-in, right-out only and will 
include deceleration lanes to facilitate smooth ingress and egress, prioritizing the flow of 
traffic along Happy Valley Parkway.  Access to the western portion of the Site (west of 
the wash) is provided via two new entrances off of 115th Avenue. 
 
It should be noted that the Happy Valley Parkway right-of-way is owned/controlled by the 
City of Peoria. Consequently, approval of the new access requires approval by the City.  
 
 
Circulation System 
 
As noted above, all access to the Site will occur from Happy Valley Parkway and 115th 
Avenue. An internal parking lot drive aisle network will allow employees, customers, 
maintenance, and emergency vehicles to access all areas of the Site. The internal drives 
will allow for these vehicles to move safely around the site in a circular pattern, meeting 
all fire access width and turning radii requirements. 
 
The shared access driveway on the east property line will provide access to Happy Valley 
Parkway for the adjacent parcel to the east (being rezoned for commercial use), as well 
as provide potential future emergency access to Happy Valley Parkway for the existing 
residential properties to the north.

#982240v1 
Development Schedule 
 
Development of the Project is expected to commence after Maricopa County’s approval 
of the Zone Change with Overlay application, approval of a subsequent Plan of 
Development, and issuance of required building permits. Development will most likely 
begin in 2027 and last for a period of approximately 12-24 months.

Compatibility with City of Peoria’s General Plan 
 
The Site is located within the City of Peoria’s planning area and is designated “Rural 
Residential” and “Parks/Open Space” under the City’s General Plan. However, the Site is 
also located immediately adjacent to Happy Valley Parkway, at its intersection with 115th 
Avenue, which is a new growth corridor for the City and County. The proposed Zone 
Change with Overlay is consistent with the existing and planned commercial and 
residential growth in the immediate area, embodying a careful balance between urban 
functionality and the natural environment. This Project not only respects the tranquility 
and aesthetics associated with rural residential areas and parks/open spaces but also 
actively contributes to the City's goals of economic development. By providing a mix of 
commercial and office uses that cater to various enterprises, the Project supports a 
diverse range of economic activities, offering employment, commercial/retail use and 
convenience opportunities for both residents and visitors taking advantage of the Site’s 
location adjacent to the Loop 303’s exit. This approach ensures the cultivation of a robust, 
stable, and sustainable local economy, meeting the City's aspirations for economic 
growth and vitality. 
 
Additionally, the middle of the Site will remain an undeveloped wash, ensuring 
preservation of landscape through the Site’s development around the wash corridor and 
maintaining a visual and ecological connection to the surrounding natural areas. Through 
concentration of development on the eastern and western ends of the Site, coupled with 
thoughtful design, the Project not only adheres to the City's land use goals but also 
contributes to the enhancement of the overall environmental quality, creating a more 
cohesive and integrated community space.

NEC of Happy Valley & 115th Avenue  
 
(APN 201-21-041D, 041E, 041F, 042B and 043A) 
 
Mr. Landis, 
Thank you for the opportunity to review the above-referenced rezoning case. Upon review of the Applicant’s 
information, the City of Peoria would like to offer the following comments within this letter, along with request 
revisions be made to the Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) as noted. Additionally, the City does ask that the 
conditions of approval shown herein be added should the case move forward to public hearing. As you will see, 
they focus on access and safety as discussed further below.  
As access to Happy Valley Parkway is under the jurisdiction of the City of Peoria, a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) 
and full improvement plans are to be submitted to and approved by Peoria prior to any development on the 
site. While a scoping meeting has been conducted, it is recommended additional dialog occur prior to formal 
submittal given the modifications to the project layout. Please coordinate with Austin Kennedy to arrange this 
meeting either via email at: Austin.Kennedy@peoriaaz.gov or phone at: 623-773-7598.  
In the letter sent May 6, 2024, it stated that “due to the physical constraints of the site and in keeping with the 
City of Peoria’s access management guidelines, any proposed access along Happy Valley should be strategically 
located, and to the greatest extent possible, be shared amongst adjacent properties to limit potential vehicular 
incidents along this vital roadway.  Additionally, all street intersections and driveways should meet the City’s 
spacing and corner clearance requirements, as detailed in Peoria’s Traffic Impact Analysis and Access 
Management Standards.” To this end, refinement of the project’s TIA and driveway locations are still needed as 
previous concerns have not been addressed.  
Revisions to the Traffic Impact Analysis: 
The City of Peoria requests the following revisions to the Traffic Impact Analysis identified below and specifically 
indicated within the enclosed Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA). Note, the comments summarized below do not 
constitute the exhaustive comments provided on the submitted TIA. 
1. Emergency access to Happy Valley Road must be provided to the residential parcels immediately north of 
the proposed development via the 113th Avenue alignment. This can be accomplished either by preserving 
the existing 113th Avenue patent easement or by providing an alternate reduced width easement providing 
direct public emergency access from Happy Valley Road to the north property line of the proposed 
development. 
2. As a limited access parkway, access on Happy Valley Parkway shall be minimized and consolidated where 
possible. All access points to City of Peoria facilities (Happy Valley Road) must follow the most current 
version of the City of Peoria Traffic Impact Analysis and Access Management Standards.  
a. The TIA must discuss all applicable Peoria standards, including but not limited to minimum corner 
clearance and driveway spacing.

Z2024019 – Happy Valley Commercial  
October 31, 2025 
Rezoning Review 
 
 
Page 2 of 3 
 
b. The driveway at the 113th Avenue alignment shall be shared between parcels 201-21-043A and 201-21-
044A and preserve emergency public access to the north (noted in comment 2). 
c. The proposed access to Happy Valley Road (Driveway A) does not meet the City of Peoria’s minimum 
corner clearance on a parkway approaching the intersection of 115th Avenue & Happy Valley Road and 
will not be permitted. 
3. Right turn lanes are required for any driveway or intersection on a parkway per Peoria standards. Typical 
right turn lane dimensions include a minimum 100’ storage and 150’ taper.  
a. Right turn lanes are recommended and any proposed driveway on Happy Valley Parkway in the TIA and 
will be required by the City. 
b. The TIA does not recommend a right turn lane for the westbound to northbound right turn movement 
at 115th Ave and Happy Valley Parkway, but it meets warrants based on the access being on a parkway 
and this project will be adding a significant number of right turn movements at the intersection. The 
developer will be required to install a westbound right turn lane at the intersection. This improvement 
will likely include traffic signal modifications and ancillary infrastructure modifications.   
4. Verify volumes, trip generation, and queues are all accurate and consistent throughout the report and the 
appendices. 
5. Discuss which movements at the proposed access points have LOS E or LOS F. Provide recommendations to 
mitigate any LOS deficiency. 
Comments to the Zoning Request: 
Along with the requested revisions to the TIA, the City of Peoria provides the following comments: 
1. The City of Peoria would recommend a minimum 40’ collector half-street right-of-way and 8’ public utilities 
easement on 115th Avenue.  
2. The City of Peoria would recommend a minimum 25’ local half-street right-of-way and 8’ public utilities 
easement on Avenida del Rey. 
3. The right-of-way requirement for a parkway half-street is 75’ with an additional 10’ (85’ half-street) within 
500’ of the centerline of an intersection of a street classified as a collector street or greater as well as an 8’ 
Public Utility Easement (PUE). The existing half-street dedication on Happy Valley Parkway adjacent to the 
development well exceeds this standard. The City of Peoria would be open to consideration of disposal of 
excess right-of-way along Happy Valley Parkway 
Requested Stipulations / Conditions of Approval: 
Should the project advance to public hearing, the City of Peoria asks for the following conditions of approval to 
be included within the ordinance: 
1. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) and full Improvement Plans are to be submitted to and approved by the City 
of Peoria prior to any development on the site. The TIA must be sealed by a registered engineer in the State 
of Arizona.    
2. Driveway access(es) to Happy Valley Road is contingent on the review and approval of the Traffic Impact 
Analysis (TIA) and any Improvement Plans by the City of Peoria.  
3. The patent easement at the 113th Avenue alignment must be preserved or replaced with an appropriate 
alternate easement to maintain legal public emergency access for the residential parcels to the north of this 
site.

Z2024019 – Happy Valley Commercial  
October 31, 2025 
Rezoning Review 
 
 
Page 3 of 3 
 
4. A driveway will be required at the 113th Avenue alignment. This driveway must be shared between 
parcels 201-21-043A and 201-21-044A and preserve public access to the north via the existing patent 
easement. Any additional driveways to Happy Valley Road must meet all relevant City of Peoria 
standards including, but not limited to, corner clearance and driveway spacing and must be accepted by 
the Peoria City Engineer. The location of the westernmost driveway (within parcel 201-21-043A) does 
not meet current corner clearance standards and will not be permitted. 
5. Driveway(s) onto Happy Valley Road shall be as follows, unless otherwise approved by the Peoria City 
Engineer: 
a. Be designed at a perpendicular angle from the site to Happy Valley Road. 
b. Include the removal, or significant reduction of, the existing berm along the northern portion of 
Happy Valley Road to increase sight lines. 
c. Contain a minimum 100 foot uninterrupted and perpendicular throat length.  
6. Driveway accesses and site plans within the TIA must match proposed Plans of Development (POD). Any 
amendments to the POD shall be routed to the City for review and may trigger changes to the TIA.  
7. The developer will be responsible for the installation of right turn lanes meeting City of Peoria 
standards. Right turn lanes are required at all intersections and driveways on parkways, such as Happy 
Valley Road.  
a. A right turn lane will be required at the future driveway on the 113th Avenue alignment and at 
any other proposed driveway to Happy Valley Road.  
b. A westbound right turn lane will be required at the intersection of 115th Avenue and Happy 
Valley Road. The developer will be responsible for installation of the right turn lane and any 
subsequent intersection improvements, including but not limited to traffic signal modifications 
and ancillary infrastructure modification, such as ADA accessible pedestrian ramps, Accessible 
Pedestrian Signals (APS) and pedestrian push buttons. 
8. Clear and convenient cross-access is required between parcels 201-21-041D, 201-21-041E, 201-21-042B, 
201-21-043A, and 201-21-044A must be provided.  
 
Again, Peoria thanks Maricopa County for the opportunity to review and comment on the proposal, and the city 
looks forward to working with the Applicant in resolving these concerns.

 Dear Joel
I am writing as a resident of to express my strong opposition to the proposed 40-foot tall U-Haul
storage facility in our rural neighborhood.
This development is entirely out of character for our quiet, rural community. A commercial storage
business of this scale would bring increased traffic, noise, and visual disruption to an area that has
always been residential and rural in nature. The height alone would dominate the landscape and
negatively impact the rural character that defines our neighborhood.
We respectfully request that the county deny this proposal and protect the rural integrity of our
community.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Joseph Yates

Comment
Hello,
My name is Steven Henry and my property connects to this
proposed zoning change. I'm concerned about the increase in
traffic congestion this would create at an already dangerous
intersection. Ingress and egress traffic would impede Happy
Valley which continues to see increased traffic as
developments to the west are built. There are quite a few
accidents at this intersection as it sits, this would only make it
worse. I also don't think a gas station/convenience store is a

good fit next to my rural residential home. The added noise,
cars coming/going all hours, and nature of the business would
reduce the value and livability of my home.
I could support the proposed 2-story medical building or other
potential uses if they are a good fit in my rural neighborhood.
Thank you,
Steve Henry

Zoning request # Z2024019 "Happy Valley Commercial"
David and Vicky Goss
25519 N 113th Ave, Peoria, AZ 85383
APN 201-21-039-G
Joel Landis
.
     My name is David Goss. My wife, Vicky, and I have owned property that is directly North/East of this
proposed zoning change for about 35 years. We started out originally with a 5 acre parcel (201-21-
039). We did a minor land division around 2003 or 2004 creating APN's 201-21-039-A, 201-21-039-B,
201-21-039-C, and 201-21-039-D.  After a couple of years we assembled the lots back together for tax
purposes as the individual lots taxes  went up considerably which became 201-21-039-E. We built a
home in 2006 and then sold it in 2019 which became 201-21-039-F. We currently reside on lot 201-21-
039-G which is the 3.5+/- acre lot just north of the proposed zoning change. 
     We are currently in the process of starting to build another home on a portion of the current lot.
We will be splitting 201-21-039-G into 3 lots, each will bewithin 300 feet of the proposed zoning
change. 
     Within the past 12 months we, along with the other property owners affected by this zoning
change, have been in contact with the current owner Rohit) of the lot that is proposing this zoning
change.  We met in our neighbor's home (Craig Littlejohn APN # 201-21-040-E) with Rohit and the
other nearby property owners to discuss his plans. We discused with Rohit new possible uses to his
property that we would not be opposed to. The gas station, tall storage buildings, and fast food
restaurants were not in the list that we are in favor of. These are not a fit in the residential area that we
have treasured for the past 20 years that we have lived here or the past 35 years that we have owned
this property.
     We are concerned with lighting that will be used at night, the height of proposed buildings that will
affect what we see from our back yards, sounds and smells that accompany fast food businesses, our
potential property values declining, and our quality of life being affected by all of these distractions. 
     As you are probably aware, there is also a zoning change request on the parcel directly South of us
(Z25008) and directly East of this Z2024019 zoning change request. We have similar concerns and
issues with both of these proposed zoning change requests.

We realize that there will probably be a zoning change at some point on this property. Please be
aware that we are opposed to this zoning change and would like input on what eventually is allowed
to be built on this property that will affect our quality of living and potentially our property values with
this zoning change.

Joel,
 
I hope this email finds you well.  I live at 11305 W Avenida Del Rey, and my property butts up to a parcel
in this zoning change request.  I know this land will most likely get developed as commercial and have
swallowed that pill.  It just needs to be something that will be a “good neighbor” in our rural residential
neighborhood.  An example of this is a neighboring parcel on the east side (201-21-044A).  The original
plan (and POD) reflected RV storage buildings that were 32’ 6” tall at the high point and 29’ 8” at the rear
that will face us.  We had the developer come out and talk to us, hear our concerns, and he’s modifying
the plan.  The new building will be 25’ at the mechanical parapet and the remainder will be 22’.  He is
also going to lower the grade by quite a bit.  Something like this is a good neighbor and fit in our
community.  Minimal traffic in the day and night, no smells, noise, or lit up buildings behind our homes.
 
I oppose zoning change request Z2024019 as currently submitted for a few reasons that I’ll walk through
in detail.  We chose to live in a rural residential neighborhood to enjoy the peace of our own little island
that’s free of noise, traffic, streetlights, crime, etc.  We also have wonderful views all around.  My wife
and I would hate to see the enjoyability of our home get destroyed and are also concerned about the
negative impact to our property value.  Another thing that scares the heck out of me is that no POD has
been submitted.  If the owner is granted this zoning change request, they can do pretty much whatever
they want.  The drawings are conceptual and are exactly that.  I also understand that I will have little to
no voice once zoning is granted.  I would really like to see more commitment on the developer’s part and
submit a POD.
 
Drive Through Restaurants:
 
These will be a constant source of traffic, noise, light pollution, and smells that will negatively impact the
enjoyability of my property.  The conceptual drawing shows them directly behind my home and would be
what we see out the back windows of our home or while trying to enjoy our back yard.  I understand
there is a 200’ minimum distance requirement between residential property and menu boards, but sound
travels much further.  Listening to drive through orders while trying to relax in my back yard is not
appealing at all.  These are not a good fit in a rural residential neighborhood.
 
Car Wash:
 
This will be a very high source of noise.  I’ve walked around a couple local car washes maintaining the
proposed distance and they are downright loud.  I plan on taking measurements and documenting my
findings in the near future.  A high noise generator like this should not be located next to a quiet rural
residential neighborhood.

Gas Station/Convenience Store:
 
This combo is a terrible noise, traffic, crime, and light source.  I look across Happy Valley at the QT and it
glows at night.  I can’t imagine something like this in the back yard.  Grade is proposed to be raised quite
a bit which makes things worse.   
 
“Pad A” store on far west of the parcel:
 
A traffic nightmare for tiny little 115th Avenue.  I could see this backing up traffic onto 115th and forcing
residents to cross the double yellow line to go around them.  Also, there is a home just north of this.  A
25’ – 30’ building looming over their home simply isn’t appropriate.
 
3-story Storage Building:
 
The previous submittal had a 2-story medical building roughly in the same location.  We weren’t excited
about it but felt it could be an acceptable fit.  That went away and now there is a huge 3-story storage
building.  Nestling a 320’ wide, 35’ – 40’ tall behemoth within rural residential homes is not a good fit.  It
may be acceptable if dropped to 2-stories, height designed as low as possible, and possibly moved
south to get in line with the homes to the east of it.  The rear area could be used for drive-up storage,
truck/trailer parking, etc.  building a floor or two underground would be ideal.
 
The new Nexstar homes to the north (currently for sale) will be staring at a 320’ wide, 35’ – 40’ tall
building looming over their new homes.  Again, not even close to being a good fit.
 
Rear Setback:
 
You and I discussed this and felt the north side of the property should be considered the rear and get a
25’ setback.  This should also apply to “Pad A” on the west side.
 
Perimeter wall:
 
Regardless of what gets built, a 6’ wall between this and residential property is not enough.  The
neighbors and I have discussed it and would like to see 10’ as a requirement.
 
Traffic concerns:
 
Entrance/exits on 115th Ave:
 
This is a small street and cannot accommodate the traffic that this development will bring.  It will back up
and impede residents trying to enter or leave the neighborhood.
 
No deceleration lane on Happy Valley for middle entrance:
 
This will back up Happy Valley as people slow down to enter this project, potentially causing accidents. 
This is a major artery to Vistancia and already gets backed up without this hazard.
 
Joel – Thank you.  Thank you very much for reading through all of this.  I am truly terrified of the
negative impact this could bring to my home.  My wife and I bought this house in 2012 with the idea that
this will be our last home.  We bought it specifically for the rural lifestyle and would be devastated if
every time we looked out our big back we saw a Burger King.  Not picking on them, just trying to paint
the picture.
 
Lastly, like I mentioned in the beginning, we have accepted that this land will be developed as
commercial.  It just needs to be a good transition between commercial and rural residential.  What’s

Z2024019 - Happy Valley Commercial – Formal Opposition from Eli Hall

Dear Mr. Landis,
My name is Eli Hall and I am formally opposing rezoning request Z2024019 – Happy Valley
Commercial. My parcel number is 201-21-040B and I reside within 300 feet of the proposed site. My
wife, Kelly, and I have lived in this neighborhood since 2010 and chose northwest Peoria specifically for
its rural, residential character. This is where we've raised our family, and we feel strongly that this
proposed development is the wrong fit for our community.
My concerns are:
Poor Neighborhood Fit: Two drive-thru restaurants, a car wash, a gas station, a convenience
store, and a three-story storage building have no place next to a quiet, rural one-story
residential neighborhood
No Plan of Development Submitted: The drawings are conceptual only, meaning if rezoning is
approved, the developer has nearly unlimited latitude on what gets built. We deserve a binding
plan before any approval is granted
Noise and Odors: The smells and sounds of drive-thru restaurants and car wash equipment will
destroy the enjoyability of our back yard and permanently disrupt the peace our family has
enjoyed for 15+ years
Dominant and Overwhelming Structure: The proposed three-story storage facility is
approximately 320 feet wide and 35–40 feet tall. A structure this size will be completely
dominant in a neighborhood of single-story homes. Residents to the north, including the
Nexstar home community, will look out and see nothing but an enormous wall. This is not a
minor visual impact — it would fundamentally alter the feel and enjoyability of the entire
neighborhood
Light Pollution: A lit commercial complex operating into the night, including that three-story
storage building, will forever change the character of our evenings
Increased Traffic: Roads in this area were not built to handle the volume this development
would bring
Declining Property Values: This type of commercial development adjacent to rural residential
homes is well known to suppress surrounding property values
Crime Concerns: Gas stations and convenience stores are statistically associated with higher
crime activity, which is deeply concerning for a family neighborhood

Z2024019 - Happy Valley Commercial

Good afternoon sir,
My name is Bret Davis and I live at 11313 W Avenida Del Rey, Peoria, AZ and my parcel number is 201-
21-040D. I live within 300 feet of this project and will be negatively impacted by this development in 
several ways.
Some of the neighbors have brought this development to my attention and this would be the 2nd time 
was not notified of any plans or contacted by the applicant for this project, the first being a "clerical error" 
stated by Mr. Webb for Z2023155 and I am not sure why I did not receive a notification this time . 
This new development is planned to have 2 drive-thru restaurants, car wash, convenience store, gas
station, and a 3-story storage building, directly adjacent to our rural residential neighborhood.  Any
single one of these businesses would be a poor fit as a neighbor for any of us, let alone all of them
squeezed into that space, with the conceptual drawings showing plants and barriers covering existing
easements, encroaching beyond required distances from residential properties and exposing the
neighborhood to several factors that would ruin the enjoy-ability of the outside of our homes and
negatively impact the property value of our homes.  
As I look at these drawings, I will address my biggest concerns first and progress to the lesser.
The two drive-thru restaurants would be directly adjacent to my property and would create noise
pollution with the constant traffic, large trucks for food deliveries and drive-thru speakers, light pollution
with the signage required and especially odor pollution with the smell of fast food grease traps,
dumpsters full of rotting food and restaurant refuse (which are pushed the closest to the homes) and
general daily operational smell of a fast food place has.  Things like this are not exactly what any
neighbors who are having a family gathering or just trying to enjoy their backyard would welcome. I am
sure you or any member of the board would not want to live next to this, neither do we, so we are asking
for your consideration. 
The car wash, the concerns with this would be the noise from the traffic, operation, especially the dryers
and hours it's open.  While orienting the dryers away from the neighborhood toward Happy Valley Rd

would cut down on the noise, there will still be a strong light pollution as those businesses are very lit up
as you can notice from others in the area.  
The convenience store/gas station brings the noise pollution from the constant traffic and delivery
trucks, light pollution from the signage and facility illumination and odor pollution with the smell from
the dumpsters, fuel spillage.  
Finally, the 3-story storage building would tower over any structure in our neighborhood, basically
creating a 40 foot high wall, 100+ feet long obstructing any view toward Happy Valley Rd and 115th
Avenue intersection.  The light pollution from a structure that size and the accompanying parking lot
would make the house adjacent to it "glow" casting industrial type light directly into many of the
residential windows of the houses next to it.  
With those being my concerns, lastly I would like to mention the increased criminal element that 
accompanies this type of development. I say this knowing that there will be something built on this land, 
my neighbors are aware of that as well. Our concerns lie with what is going to be built next to us. We 
have seen conceptual drawings, but no plan for development. As I am aware that is not required for a 
rezoning hearing, our fear is that once it's rezoned, anything can be built there, without any 
consideration of the impact on our homes, neighborhood safety and property value. We are willing to 
compromise and work with the developer to find a good fit for all parties impacted by this as well as 
make it beneficial for the developer.
Please take a moment and consider if any of you would like to live next to what is being proposed to be 
built next to us. This planned development will have a massive damaging effect on our community. 
Thank you for your time. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Dear Joel, 
We are strongly opposed to the proposed rezoning of our rural residential neighborhood for
commercial development, including the proposed gas station, convenience store, drive-thru
restaurants, car wash, and three-story storage facility.
Our family intentionally chose to live in this neighborhood because of its rural character, peaceful
environment, safety, and open space. Like many families here, we wanted our children to grow up with
the freedom to safely ride bikes, walk dirt roads, care for animals, and spend their time outdoors
instead of indoors on electronics. This proposed development directly conflicts with the very reason
residents chose this community.
The proposed commercial uses are a poor fit for a rural residential neighborhood with acre lots, farm
animals, dirt roads, and primarily single-story homes. A large-scale commercial entrance featuring
drive-thrus, a gas station, a car wash, and a brightly lit three-story storage building would permanently
alter the character of our community.
We are especially concerned about:
• Increased traffic and congestion at the only entrance to our neighborhood
• Safety concerns for children, pedestrians, cyclists, and animals
• Noise from drive-thrus, car wash operations, delivery trucks, and increased vehicle traffic both day
and night
• Bright lighting from parking lots, signage, and a three-story storage facility impacting the
peaceful rural atmosphere
• Smells, pollution, and overall environmental impact from gas stations and fast-food
operations
• Increased crime and transient activity commonly associated with this type of commercial
development
• Negative impacts on property values and homeowner investment
• The visual impact of commercial buildings that are completely out of scale with the surrounding one-
story rural homes

This proposal does not preserve or respect the established rural residential nature of our
neighborhood. Instead, it would fundamentally change the daily quality of life for the families who
already live here.
We respectfully ask the County and Planning Commission to deny this rezoning request and protect
the rural character, safety, and livability of our community, our friends, family and children.
Sincerely, 
 
Kristina Wiseman

Dear Sir,
This letter is to voice our concern with the proposed usage of said property in the email subject line.
We are distressed to hear the options Peoria may be considering for this parcel usage. The noise and
traffic level has already drastically increased in the 10 years we have resided in the neighborhood
and the additional traffic this will cause will be unbearable.  The intersection at 115 Ave and Happy
Valley is close to a death trap currently and we fear it will get much worse if this development is
allowed to come to fruition.  We beg you to put the citizens' safety first. Our neighborhood offers a
peaceful rural setting of 1 to 5 acre parcels that is unique to most Peoria neighborhoods. This
development will adversely affect the residential property value, bringing crime to an otherwise near
crimless county island. It will push the current residents further away and open the door for rental
homes and transient residence. We chose Peoria to reside as it was one of the nicest cities in the
valley.  Please help keep it that way.  
Thank you for considering our request.
