3. Building permits for structures, including block wall fence, on all 5 parcels
could not be located. At the time of the Building Permit, provide permit
numbers for all current structures on the entitlement properties. If no permit
was obtained for this construction, building permits will be required as a

wall fence. If there are no drainage openings in the block wall fence, show
how the water will be travel around the block wall fence.
5. Drainage review of planning and/or zoning cases is for conceptual design
only and does not represent final design approval nor shall it entitle
applicants to future designs that are not in conformance with Section 1205
of the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance and the Maricopa County
Drainage Policies and Standards.
6. All development and engineering design shall be in conformance with
Section 1205 of the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance and current

At the time of the Building Permit, a MCDOT permit for the paved driveways
for APNs 142-24-018H and 142-24-009A could not be located. Please identify
Z2020057 Page 7 of 8 the driveways as paved per MCDOT requirements
and provide the permit numbers for the driveways. If no permit was

Z2020057
Page 2 of 4

obtained for this construction, a MCDOT permit will be required as a
condition of this entitlement.
d. Property owner shall apply for all required building permits within 1 year from the
date of Board of Supervisors approval, and complete all necessary construction
within 2 years from the date of Board of Supervisors approval.
e. This special use permit shall expire on May 5, 2026, or upon termination of the use
for a period of 90 or more days, whichever occurs first. All site improvements
associated with the special use permit shall be removed within 90 days of such
expiration or termination of use.
f. No non-resident employees, customers, clients, shall be permitted on the premises
for business purposes between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. for all except
truck drivers, who may arrive from 5:00 a.m. Monday through Saturday.

elevation of the tallest materials to be stored not to exceed 10 feet in height.
h. Deliveries to and from commercial suppliers (vehicle weight greater than 10,000
lbs.) shall not restrict traffic circulation and shall only occur between 6:00 a.m. and

i. Noncompliance with any Maricopa County Regulation shall be grounds for
initiating a revocation of this Special Use Permit as set forth in the Maricopa County
Zoning Ordinance.
j. 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, and at the time of expiration of the Special Use Permit, 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, or the expiration of the Special Use Permit, 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
or expiration of the Special Use Permit. The Special Use Permit enhances the value
of the property above its value as of the date the Special Use Permit is granted
and reverting to the prior zoning results in the same value of the property as if the
Special Use Permit had never been granted.

Project Summary:
1. The applicant is requesting the approval of a Special Use Permit (SUP) for a Cottage
Industry in order to facilitate the operation of Abbco, a family owned and operated
company on five continuous parcels (4 acres total) in the R1-6 zoning district for the
purposes of running a sign installation company. Access to the site is gained via two
parcels with frontage facing north onto Carole Ln. and two gated driveways via three
parcels with frontage facing south onto Orangewood Ave. The site is subject to violation
Case #V201800294 for a commercial land use without proper zoning entitlement in a
residential zoning district. The applicant has applied for the subject SUP in order to bring
the site into compliance.
2. The proposed use of the site consists of truck parking, and indoor and outdoor storage of
signs and equipment related to the sign installation. Existing development of the site
consists of shade canopies and several accessory structures. The project narrative states
that the site will provide for the parking of up to 19 trucks and trailers and that the facility
will operate from Monday-Friday from 6am to 6pm. The business employs a workforce of
15 employees. This sign company has a contract with the State to fix or replace highway
and street signs throughout the State of Arizona. No manufacturing is proposed on the
site and no outdoor signage denoting the business operations is being requested.

Adopted Plans:
6. Maricopa County Vision 2030 (January 13, 2016): Unincorporated areas outside of
County area plans are designated Rural Development Area and are only appropriate
for rural development and rural zoning.
7. Envision Glendale 2040 (September 30, 2016): Medium Density Residential 2.5 - 3.5 du/ac.
The Medium Density Residential designations provide for a suburban lifestyle with
planned single-family residential communities.
Public Participation Summary:
8. The applicant complied with the Maricopa County Public Participation Process with the
required posting of the property and notification to the adjacent property owners within
300’ of the subject site and interested parties. Staff received one letter of support and
four letters of opposition from residents within 300’ of the subject site. Residents opposed
to the request state that the general operations of the existing business causes excessive
noise and traffic in the residential area. Staff has not received any other calls or
correspondence to the request.
Outstanding Concerns from Reviewing Agencies:
9. N/A.
Staff Analysis:
10. Staff believes that the proposed SUP to allow for the continued operation of the Abbco
Sign Installation Company meets the standard of a cottage industry and that the request
is reasonable given the history of use. Staff has confirmed the use of the site as a de facto
cottage industry for at least 17 years and historical aerials confirmed commercial activity
on the site in addition to the residential use on since at least 2004 (see historical aerial
below). The proposed SUP on the site is consistent with the residential character of the
area. It is worth noting that the commercial activity existed on the site for over 10 years
until a complaint was submitted. While the Zoning Ordinance does not list commercial
activity as a permitted primary use in residential districts, accessory commercial
businesses can be permitted with an SUP subject to legislative approval.
11. Staff is of the opinion that a maximum five year SUP is adequate given the long-standing
violation and number of unpermitted structures on the site, as well as insufficient
Z2020057
Page 4 of 8

screening over portions of the site adjacent to residential. The violation is in administrative
remedy status and a compliance agreement was established with a June 19, 2021
compliance deadline. In addition to obtaining the SUP, the property owner must obtain
approved building permits for the any walls/screening and the following buildings.

15. Staff has crafted conditions to ensure compliance with the proposed stipulations. A five
year SUP will allow the applicant to demonstrate compliance with this SUP and related
conditions, and after having done so can request additional time if necessary and
deemed appropriate.

a MCDOT permit will be required as a condition of this entitlement.
d. Property owner shall apply for all required building permits within 1 year from the

within 2 years from the date of Board of Supervisors approval.
e. This special use permit shall expire on May 5, 2026, or upon termination of the use

the date of application, subject to conditions. In the event of the failure to comply
with any condition, and at the time of expiration of the Special Use Permit, 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, or the expiration of the Special Use Permit, 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
or expiration of the Special Use Permit. The Special Use Permit enhances the value
of the property above its value as of the date the Special Use Permit is granted
and reverting to the prior zoning results in the same value of the property as if the
Special Use Permit had never been granted.

The three (3) parcels along Orangewood Avenue all have residences on them, along with
uses/improvements related to the sign installation operation. The two (2) parcels along Carole
Lane do not have residences but do have uses and improvements related to the sign installation
operation. The existing underlying zoning of all five (5) of the parcels is R1-6 (Single-family
Residential; 6,000 square foot minimum area per lot). All five parcels function together through
common internal circulation between them. There are three access point to the site from
Orangewood Avenue and two from Carole Lane. Primary gated access to the overall site is
provided via Orangewood Avenue. The two parcels along Carole Lane have emergency access
onto Carole Lane for the Home Occupation, Cottage Industry use. These access points are
primarily used for emergency access and used by the owners minimally at their discretion

only.
As mentioned, this is a family owned and operated sign company that has been in business for
over 20 years. This sign company has a contract with the State to fix or replace highway and
street signs throughout the State of Arizona. The sign installation company does not conduct
manufacturing of the signs on site; rather, the business receives signs and sign posts, which are
manufactured offsite, then delivered to the site. These signs and sign posts are generally
delivered approximately once a month. Once delivered, they are loaded onto the business’ own
trucks and trailers and taken to the various locations throughout the State of Arizona for
installation. Old signs which have been replaced are returned to the site and stored on site,
internal to the property, until they are taken to be remanufactured elsewhere.
There are approximately 19 trucks and trailers that are parked internal to the site and parked
under shade canopies There are storage containers on site that store the parts needed for
installation of signs. The business also repairs and maintains signs for the State. Minor
maintenance of equipment and trucks and parking of same does occur onsite. Outdoor storage
of signs and equipment related to the sign installation operation also are located onsite. The
accessory storage containers, sign storage areas, and service trucks are all kept internal to the
site, with minimum visibility from the adjacent streets. There are no customers coming to this
site as this is not a retail sign company. There are four homes on the site where family
members currently live. The family business employs a workforce of 10 employees.

I live at 7701 W. Carole Ln. My family built this home in the mid 1960s. We have known the
Abbott family for many generations. They are nice people.
I do, however, have issues over they're expanse of their business onto Carole Ln and the
adjoining lot. There is lots of "junk" accumulating there. They also drive Large trucks in and
out of the property. The trucks are almost always between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. and they always
wake me! They also vibrate the ground to such an extent that it rattles my windows and doors.
This is unacceptable, and I should not have to live with it. I feel that they don't care about
their neighbors or our property value. I am totally against this business, and wish they would
do the right thing and use a commercial area, where it should be.
Thank you

RE: There is a notice of a Special Permit by the owner of a Large Scale business
operating in a residential area and causing disturbance to the residents in the
neighboring lots.
I am writing in response to the current actions taken by the owners of the business seeking a
special permit as noted above.
First and foremost I was not aware that the complaints are not anonymous as I was assured by
a Maricopa County official.
Secondly, I was contacted by the lawyer of the Abbco Co and it was said to me that they
would like to get us on their side and support them. I find this to be inappropriate in the given
situation.
Lastly the owner of the company at question is directly and in person confronting the other
neighbors who have also filed a complaint. This is unacceptable! There is pressure forced
upon my neighbors and my neighborhood for the benefit of a commercial business that should
not be there.
Personal confrontations are a serious problem and should not occur since every neighbor has
the right to object to the given matter especially when it causes disturbance.
I’m am disappointed in the way the situation is handled and the fact that personal information
has been disclosed to the the person filing.
My husband and I and the neighbors are continuing to hold our ground on the matter and we
hope is soon resolved
Respectfully

There is a large scale, industrial business operations that are taking place in a
residential area. This causes loud noises, large commercial vehicles exiting and
entering the lots, construction machinery. The business does not have a permit,
however there is an application for a Special Permit. However, the neighbors do not
agree there be such a large scale business next door that cause disturbance of the
quiet residential area and the families (with small children) there. We do not wish
there to be such operations in the vicinity of the residential area.
Please help us keep our peace and quiet in this residential cottage area
