Report to the Board of Supervisors
Prepared by the Maricopa County Planning and Development Department
Board Hearing Date: July 14, 2021
Case #/Title: Z2021004 – Glendale Storage
Supervisor District: 4
Applicant/Owner: Carter Brown, Val Vista Builders / Mand Investments, LLC
Request: Zone Change from C-2 and R-5 to IND-2 IUPD to
accommodate long-term storage of semi-truck trailers,
vehicles, busses and recreational vehicles
Site Location: Generally located 789-feet west of the southwest corner of
Glendale Ave. and El Mirage Rd. in the Glendale area
Site Size: Approximately 5.1 acres
County Island Status: Yes (City of Glendale)
Additional
Comments: There are no outstanding concerns from reviewing agencies.
The applicant is requesting to rezone the site from C-2 and R-
5 to IND-2 IUPD for an outdoor storage facility for semi-truck
trailers, buses, delivery trucks, and recreational vehicles. The
site is within the White Tanks/Grand Ave. Area Plan which
designates the site as Rural Densities (0-1 du/ac). The site is
also located in the Municipal Planning Area of Glendale and
the City’s General Plan designates the site as Medium Density
Residential (2.5 – 3.5 du/ac). Even though the request does
not match either the County’s Area Plan or the City’s General
Plan designations, the request would create a land-use/
zoning designation that is similar to the neighboring parcels to
the east and west of the subject site. The City of Glendale has
been notified about this zone change request and as of the
date of this report staff nor the applicant has received any
comments or concerns. As of the writing of this report neither
staff nor the applicant has received any comments or
concerns regarding this request.

Page 2 of 3

“You are located on a site in the “territory in the vicinity of a military airport” where
aircraft flying in this area are authorized to fly as low as 1,500 feet above the
ground. You will be subject to direct overflights and noise by Luke Air Force Base
jet aircraft in the vicinity.
Luke Air Force Base executes an average of approximately 165 overflights per day.
Although Luke’s primary flight paths are located within 20 miles from the base, jet
noise will be apparent throughout the area as aircraft transient to and from the
Barry M. Goldwater Gunnery Range and other flight areas.
Luke Air Force Base may launch and recover aircraft in either direction off its
runways oriented to the southwest and northeast. Noise will be more noticeable
during overcast sky conditions due to noise reflections off the clouds.
Luke Air Force Base’s normal flying hours extend from 7:00 a.m. until approximately
midnight, Monday through Friday, but some limited flying will occur outside these
hours and during most weekends.
For further information, please check the Luke Air Force Base website or contact
the Maricopa County Planning and Development Department.”
Such notification shall be permanently posted on not less than a three foot by five-
foot sign in front of all leasing offices and be permanently posted on the front door
of all leasing offices on not less than 8½ inch by 11-inch sign.
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 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 applicant is requesting to rezone the site from C-2 and R-5 to IND-2 IUPD for an
outdoor storage facility for semi-truck trailers, buses, delivery trucks, and recreational
vehicles. The site is located 789-feet west of the southwest corner of Glendale Ave. and
El Mirage Rd. in the Glendale area. The applicant believes the site is unsuitable for
structures, since the site is made up of loose materials from the areas mining operations,
and because of this, the IUPD zoning overlay is being requested to limit the use of the site
to outdoor storage yard without buildings. Moreover, the applicant will abide by the
development standards of the IND-2 zoning district.
2. The proposed plan for this site is to provide 89 semi-truck/trailer storage spaces, 33 RV
storage spaces, and two vehicle storage spaces on the 5.1-acre site for a total of 124
storage spaces. The storage spaces will have an east/west orientation placed on either
side of the site with a 110-foot wide driveway in-between the storage spaces. Access to
the facility will be via a 30-foot wide driveway along Glendale Ave. that will be 65-feet
long from the existing roadway to a proposed gate, leaving enough room for a semi-
truck to stand before the gate opens. Furthermore, the future driveway will be 85-feet
away from the site’s northwest corner and 155-feet from the site’s northeast corner. The
site does have an existing 30-foot tall billboard that will remain on-on site. The facility will
be screened by a mix of solid walls and fences with opaque materials. The site will also
pave the driveway and storage areas with landscaping being added along the northern
portion of the site along Glendale Ave.
3. Originally, the entire site was rezoned from Rural to R-5 TD in the 1950s to accommodate
a trailer park on the site (Z-749 and Z59-1123). One part of the site was rezoned from rural
to C-2 in the 1960s (Z-65 and Z-167) for potential commercial uses. Finally, another portion
of the site was rezoned from Rural-43 to C-2 in 1970s (Z72-21) for a wholesale produce
distribution facility. In 2011, building permits were finalized for a 30-foot tall billboard
located in the northeast corner of the site (B201106769). On August 18, 2020, the
applicant met with staff in a Pre-Application Meeting, before the property owner
purchased the site and was recommended to pursue a zone change on the site to IND-
2 and combine the parcels of the site to accommodate this proposal. On September 1,
2020, the property owner purchased the site. Since then the site has remained within two
separate zoning districts and one reason for this zone change request is to create a single
unified zoning district for the entire site.
4. The applicant is not requesting to vary any of the base IND-2 development standards
and the reason for the IUPD request is to limit the use of the site to an industrial storage
yard. (see Development Standards Table on the following page)

Page 4 of 8

5. It should be noted that since the applicant is proposing a site plan (required plan of
development, POD) and although the zone change is a legislative approval, the POD is
administratively approved. Therefore, POD approval is contingent upon prior rezoning
approval.

classification based upon the Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT)
Major Streets and Routes Plan. It should be noted that the existing right-of-way for
Glendale Ave. is all within the City of Glendale’s jurisdiction.
Street Name Half-width Existing R/W Half-width Proposed R/W Future Classification
Glendale Ave. 65-feet 65-feet Major Arterial
Adopted Plans:
9. White Tanks/Grand Ave. Area Plan (adopted December 6, 2000): This area plan
designates the site as Rural Densities (0-1 du/ac). This designation identifies areas where
single family densities and access to urban services limits development.
10. Envision Glendale 2040 General Plan (adopted April 26, 2016): This General Plan
designates the subject site as Medium Density Residential (2.5 – 3.5 du/ac). The Medium
Density Residential designation provides for a suburban lifestyle with planned single-
family residential communities, full of recreational and cultural opportunities.
Public Participation Summary:
11. The applicant complied with 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 site and to interested parties. As of the writing of this report
neither staff nor the applicant has received any comments or concerns regarding this
request.

Outstanding Concerns from Reviewing Agencies:
12. There are no outstanding concerns from reviewing agencies. The City of Glendale was
notified of this rezone request, but as of the writing of this report, staff has not received
any comments or concerns.
Staff Analysis:
13. The request to change the existing zoning districts with C-2 in the northern part of the site
and R-5 in the southern portion of the site to a single unifying zoning district of IND-2 IUPD,
is the most logical aspect of this zone change request, especially since the site will be
used for one industrial use of an outdoor storage yard. Industrial uses on this site is another
logical aspect on this site, especially when the site was used in the past as a wholesale
produce distribution facility and with the adjacent industrial uses on either side of this site.
Using the site for the storage of semi-tractor trailer trucks would be appropriate in this area
with the industrial uses in the nearby Glen Harbor Business Park to the west and industrial
uses in the area around this site. Furthermore, with this site’s proximity to the Papago (I-
10) and Agua Fria (L-101) Freeways, as well as the Northern Parkway. to the north, makes
the proposed land use of truck storage appropriate for this site. Also, using the site for the
storage of recreational vehicles will also be appropriate, especially with adjacent
residential subdivisions in this area. By utilizing the IUPD zoning overlay to limit the site’s
use to a long-term outdoor storage yard will generate low traffic volumes which make
this use compatible with the adjacent Marbella Ranch residential subdivision to the north.
Moreover, since the applicant is utilizing the IUPD zoning overlay to only limit the land-use
and none of the development standards, it will ensure the future development will abide
by all the IND-2 development standards. Therefore, staff is recommending approval of
this request with the conditions listed below.
Recommendation:
14. For the reasons outlined in this report, staff recommends the Commission motion for
Approval, subject to conditions ‘a’ – ‘i’.
a. Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Site Plan
entitled “Glendale Truck & RV Storage Yard“, consisting of one full-size sheet,
dated May 17, 2021, and stamped receive May 17, 2021, except as modified by
the following conditions.
b. Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Narrative

Such notification shall be permanently posted on not less than a three foot by five-
foot sign in front of all leasing offices and be permanently posted on the front door
of all leasing offices on not less than 8½ inch by 11-inch sign.
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 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 Address: 12417 West Glendale Ave
Assessor’s Parcel Number: 501-56-014 & 501-56-015K
Zoning Case Number: Z2021004
Proposed Use: Exterior Vehicle and Trailer Storage.
Purpose of Proposal: Zone change to IND-2 IUPD
Revised Date: May 17, 2021

Description of Proposal
With the purchasing of the of the property in question, the owner has envisioned a
strategy for use that will provide value and needed services to the County, residents,
business owners and all other parties involved. Now a vacant lot, the owner seeking is
to turn the property into a exterior vehicle and trailer storage.
The property is currently two parcels that are zoned for R-5 and C-2 in the jurisdiction of
Maricopa County. Ownership believes and is requesting that the property be rezoned
IND-2 IUPD (parcel combine will be done at the Assessor’s Office). The IUPD is to
restrict this site for outdoor industrial storage. The plan for the property involves minor
grading and the installation of a security gate to provide 24/7 access to long-term
storage spaces for delivery trucks, RV’s, school buses, etc. No building will be
necessary. No employees will be on site.
Relation to Surrounding Properties
The desired use of this lot will coincide nicely with the zoning and usages of the
surrounding properties. To the south are rural zonings. The adjacent lots hold
commercial and the same industrial zoning the owner is requesting. As well, the
usages to the west and east are both currently related to, or directly involve, trucking
and RV storage.
These adjacent sites demonstrate a very high demand for this type of use which is
currently not available. Additionally, this demand is expected to increase in the coming
future. Ownership, having performed their due diligence, believes it is in the best
interests of Maricopa County and its constituents to have the proposed use and zoning
change approved. Our investigation into the marketplace resulted in a nearly
unanimous support of our proposed use.
Location and Accessibility
Both lots, which will be combined, are joined south of Glendale Ave between El Mirage
Rd. and N. 125th Ave. Currently, one driveway per lot exists to allow for entrance. Per
the site plan, the owner suggests one entrance, after the lots are merged, set as far
away from the adjacent intersection as can be feasibly set with the proposed storage.
Circulation System
Per meeting with staff, no offsite improvements are required in this request. Proposed
on-site improvements include grading, drainage and paving, as shown on the drainage
plan. As requested, the Department of Transportation for Glendale was contacted and
permits for driveway improvements inside City R/W will be obtained from Glendale.

Development Schedule
A trucking storage development plan would be minimal given the current county
requirements. We believe the soil on which the lot rests is not suitable for structural
components for building assembly. The land is elevated approximately 10ft above
Glendale Ave on the north and appears to be loosely compacted. It has been assumed
that this was originally a site for spoilage from the local mine. Given these parameters,
the cost for development on this site would be extraordinarily high due to soil
constraints. Since property development is unlikely to occur, these parcels become
ideal for parking and storage. This is why the IUPD will limit use of the site to outdoor
storage. The owner plans to complete the entire project in one phase.
Community Facilities and Services
This project coincides nicely with the surrounding properties and will only improve
existing industrial and commercial properties. The proposed usage will neither improve
nor impede in the community facilities and services.
Public Utilities and Services
No additional demand on utilities will be required. Corresponding utilities for power,
gas, water and sewer are, respectively, APS, Southwest Gas, and Valley Water
Utilities. All of these companies have provided “Will Serves” to the owner. Below is a
complete table of utilities.
