Page 1 of 3

obtain approval by MCESD prior to construction permit issuance. (A
separate submittal to MCESD would be required.) It is required, upon
completion of construction, the owner to fulfill MCESD requirements and
obtain a post-construction stormwater permit. A Commercial Unit Plan of
Development (CUPD) shall be applied to this site. The CUPD shall vary
development standards with regard to parking standards for the indoor
storage facilities. Development of the site shall otherwise adhere to the
development standards of the base zoning district.
2. If applicable, the site plan shall contain a note designating the entity
responsible for operation and maintenance of the on-lot stormwater
management facilities consistent with an approved operation and
maintenance plan.
e. Until such time as the site is served by sewer or effective annexation by the City of
Mesa, uses on the site shall only be those acceptable to the Maricopa County
Environmental Services Department (MCESD) that can be accommodated by
septic systems. All other base zoning standards for C-3 zoning district shall remain.
f. Zoning approval is conditional per Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance, Article
304.6, and ARS § 11-814 for five (5) years for the initial phase and an additional five
(5) years for each subsequent phase, as applicable, within which time the initial
construction permit or construction permit for each phase as applicable must be
obtained. The applicant shall submit a written report every five years from the date
of Board of Supervisors approval of Z2016086 which details the status of this project,
including progress on obtaining construction permits. The status report to be
administratively reviewed by Planning and Development with the ability to
administratively accept or to carry the status report to the Board of Supervisors
Board upon recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission for
consideration of amendments or revocation of zoning for the parcel.
g. Noncompliance with any Maricopa County Regulation or condition of approval
shall be grounds for initiating a revocation of this Zone Change as set forth in the
Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance. The property owner/s and their successors
waive claim for diminution in value if the County takes action to rescind approval
due to noncompliance with conditions.
h. 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 owner 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, a hearing shall be scheduled with the Board of
Supervisors for consideration to revert 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, Nate Wadsworth, is requesting approval of a zone change with a precise
plan for a 2.11-acre parcel located in the east Mesa area to allow a self-storage facility.
The 2.11-acre subject property contains two zoning districts; the 0.85-acre portion is zoned
C-3 and is located along the Main Street frontage while northern 1.26-acre portion is
zoned R-5. The applicant requests to rezone the entire 2.11-acre parcel to C-3 CUPD to
allow 18 self-storage containers, as well as storage space for RVs, boats, trailers and
vehicles. The facility will also provide a fenced area for storage of small construction
equipment, materials, and small contractor storage. The storage containers will be
anchored to the ground per building code requirements.
2. An 8-foot block wall will enclose the property to provide separation from residential uses
and provide security for the facility. The wall at south end of the parcel, with frontage on
Main Street, will have two courses of split face block for aesthetics. The facility will
operate without an on-site manager and will be fully self-serve. Tenants will access the
facility through a rolling gate accessible via an electronic keypad. New tenants will view
the property by appointment between the hours of 7:00 am and 4:00 pm.
3. Six parking stalls will be provided at the east hammerhead turnaround area for customers
to park their vehicles while they access their stored items, plus an additional 10 spaces
for boat and RV storage. A portable toilet is also provided at the turnaround area for
convenience.
4. Since the facility will not be providing potable water and sewer, staff is recommending a
CUPD overlay to limit the use of the property to the requested storage facility. Therefore,
in the event that the storage facility ceases operations any other commercial facility
would require another zone change or an amendment to the conditions of the CUPD
overlay. All other development standards required for the C-3 zoning district shall remain.

Public Participation Summary:
6. The applicant has complied with the Maricopa County Citizen Review Process with the
required posting of the property and notification by first class mail to adjacent property
owners within 300’ of the subject parcel and interested parties. Neither the applicant nor
Staff has received any calls or letters of opposition as of the writing of this staff report.
Outstanding Concerns from Reviewing Agencies:
7. N/A.
Staff Analysis:
8. Split zoning between C-3 and R-5 is characteristic of many parcels along the far eastern
stretch of Main Street between the corporate limits of Mesa and Apache Junction. This
zone change results in a modest expansion of commercial use into a portion of the parcel
that is unlikely to be developed for residential.
9. The property’s location along Main Street and its close proximity to a full interchange with
the Loop 202 freeway provides ease of access to and from the site. The proposed 8-foot
block wall provides security for the facility and adequate separation of uses between the
commercial and adjacent residential area.
10. Until such time there is adequate sewer and water available for this site, staff finds the
CUPD overlay both reasonable and necessary to ensure that the proposed storage
facility is not converted to another commercial use without proper entitlements.
Recommendation:
11. Staff recommends the Commission motion for approval with conditions ‘a’ – ‘h’ of
Z2016086:
a. Development of the site shall comply with the exhibit entitled “Apache Super
Storage Site Plan”, consisting of 1 full-size sheet, dated March 29, 2017 and

following conditions.
c. The applicant/property owner shall submit a ‘will serve’ letter from Rural Metro for
fire protection services for the project site. A copy of the ‘will serve’ letter shall be

Purpose of Request
Zone change from C-3 and R-5 to C-3 with a Commercial Unit Plan of Development
Overlay,
Description of Proposal
There is heavy demand for storage in the East Valley. There are new apartment
complexes, housing developments, an ever-increasing number of rental properties
(as home ownership rates decline), and an increasing winter visitor population all
throughout East Mesa. This proposal will help fill some of that demand, and provide
a valuable service and convenience to local residents, neighbors, and businesses.
The facility will operate without an on-site manager, and will be fully 'self-serve'.
Tenants will access the facility through an electronic keypad gate. New tenants will
view the property by appointment between the hours of 7am - 4pm, Monday
through Saturday.
The property will store RVs, boats, trailers, containers, vehicles, and will have some
amount of fenced yard space for items such as small equipment, materials, and small
contractor storage.
An 8 ft. block wall will enclose the facility. This will increase security for tenants,
discourage trespassing, and eliminate any possibility of disturbing the residential
neighbors. The wall on the south end of the parcel, with frontage on E Main St, will
have two courses of split face block, creating an appealing aesthetic. There will be a
rolling gate at entrance of facility that will be accessed by an electronic keypad.
Customers will be provided use of a Chemical Toilet, located at the end of the
hammerhead turnaround area. This is to provide convenience and value to tenants
as well as keep the property clean.
Landscaping will consist of Desert Museum Palo Verde trees, and an assortment of
desert cactus and shrubs creating an attractive and low impact statement from Main
St.
Signage will be affixed to the block wall near the entrance gate. The block wall will
be tan in color, which complements the natural colors of the desert.
Customers will be provided parking in the east hammerhead turn around area
There will be 7 spaces available for customers to park their cars while they access
their stored items.

Relationship to indin g_p_ Pro erties
•-•
Figure 1 shows the location of new
residential and multifamily developments
in the east valley. These new dwellings
increase demand for storage. Newer homes
are often built on smaller lots, making it
difficult for people to store their boats,
RV's, and trailers at home. It also makes it
difficult for individuals operating a small
business who may have an extra work truck
or piece of equipment. For example, a small
landscape contractor might have a dump
trailer or small skidsteer. A small plumbing ongs Supettgition center
contractor may have an assortment of ABS
pipe, appliances, and a back-up work truck
that all need a place to stay. This facility will
create a flexible storage solution that will
solve a problem and benefit everyone in
East Mesa. The tenants will be served by
having secure storage, and the general
public will be served by creating an out of
sight location for items that may currently
be parked or stored in violation of HOAs,
zoning ordinances, and CC&Rs.
Figure I.- Location of under construction and proposed
There is heavy foot traffic through the area, residential developments in East Valley.
which promotes trespassing on the
neighboring properties. Also, the current grading of the property is flooding the east
neighbor's business during heavy monsoon rain. Allowing this development will
improve property value and quality of life for all surrounding property owners and
residents. The neighbors are supportive of the storage proposal since this is a quiet
and low impact use for the property. There is very little traffic, and virtually no
noise associated with a storage facility.
Location and Accessibility
The property site is merely a few hundred feet from the on and off ramp to the Loop
202 freeway. This is an optimal site for a storage facility since the freeway creates
such quick access. Tenants will be able to quickly retrieve their stored items and
then easily hop back onto the freeway.

4
Circulation System
The facility will be accessed via Main Street. A rolling, or folding steel gate will be
opened via keypad to provide access for customers. Customers will exit back
through the same gate onto Main St.
Development Schedule
The development will take less than 3 months once building permit is obtained.
1. Grading and Drainage - 1 Month
2. CMU Wall Sz Landscaping- 1 Month
3. Electric Service, Chain Link Fencing, and Storage Containers - 1 Month
The exact layout and design of storage space and yards will be determined after
further market analysis and feedback

The area is heavily commercial and services a wide variety of customers and needs.
The commercial and residential storage needs of the area are growing rapidly.
There are retail, manufacturing, and service businesses here. A storage facility
(which provides valuable service) will suit the area well, while adding zero negative
impact to the surrounding residential properties.
There is currently a proposal with the City of Mesa regarding the 11 acres directly
across Main St. from the subject property; a developer is requesting annexation to
develop a large apartment complex, consisting of several hundred units. This will
only increase the need for storage in the area. Without additional storage
developments, residents and businesses will resort to storing items in unpermitted
areas regardless of zoning ordinance, security, or safety.
Public Utilities and Services
The City of Mesa is unwilling to provide access to City Water for this property. I
believe this is the primary reason why the property has sat undeveloped for so long.
The storage facility I propose will not need a water or sewer connection since there
will be no onsite manager, employee, or residence (See Figure 2) The property will
strictly be used for storage. Public utilities and services serving the property
include:
Water - None
Sewer - None
Electric - SRP
Trash - RAD Disposal
Grading and e
The property will be properly graded, and all drainage requirements addressed. A
Grading and Drainage plan will be submitted. Off Site flows will be transported
through the property via an underground pipe. Onsite storm water will be retained
in a basin at southeast corner of property.
The property currently has serious drainage issues, which are having large a impact
on neighboring properties. The property receives significant off site water flows

from the subdivision to the north. Currently this water flows across the subject
property and over into the west neighbors building during rain, causing serious
damaging his inventory, building, and business. It is a serious issue in desperate
need of attention. This proposal will solve it once and for all.
City of Mesa General Plan
The frontage on Main St. and proximity to the freeway make a complete C3 zoning
appropriate. As mentioned earlier in this narrative, there are dozens of C3 zones
properties all along Main Street serving the needs of the community. This proposal
conforms to the City of Mesa General Plan, and the City of Mesa Planning
department has given their support in favor of a single commercial zoning at
the location. See Figure 2, and Attachment B for support.

Nate,
Given the frontage on Main Street and proximity to the freeway the City of Mesa would be
supportive of commercial zoning at this location.

Maricopa County Vision 2030
The proposed storage facility fulfills many of the plan "Elements" detailed in
Maricopa County Vision 2030.
Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance
A storage facility of this type is an approved use for a C3 zoning under Maricopa
County Zoning Ordinance Section 804.2.43 & 44 and Section 805.2.23 & 27.
Conclusion
The proposed storage facility fulfills many of the plan "Elements" detailed in
Maricopa County Vision 2030. The existing, dual zoning on this land makes the
property extremely difficult to develop. As vacant land, it is negatively impacting the
area and neighbors. Allowing a single C3 zoning will allow the property owner to
fully enjoy and utilize his property rights. A storage facility will improve the safety
and aesthetic of the area, and improve quality of life for the neighbors. The facility
will serve the public interest by creating storage space for the general public and
local small business owners. An increase in the supply of storage space will reduce
overall price of storage in the East Valley, and promote a more productive and
efficient economy and community.

SUBJECT: 8920 E Main Storage, Z2016086
The Maricopa County Environmental Services Department (MCESD) has reviewed
documents received from the Maricopa County Planning and Zoning Department for
the above referenced project. This project is a rezoning request for the proposed
8920 E Main Storage. This proposed project is a storage facility located on a 2.11-
acre parcel APN # 218-40-001Q and according to the submitted documentation will
require no water or sewer services.
Based on the above, MCESD raised no objections to the Planning & Development
Department in Accela Automation on November 15, 2016, and the project may
proceed with the following stipulations:
Stipulations: Stormwater - Development and engineering design shall be in
conformance with the Maricopa County Stormwater Quality Management and
Discharge Control Regulation. It is required, the owner/developer to prepare a
SWPPP and obtain approval by MCESD prior to construction permit issuance. (A
separate submittal to MCESD would be required.) It is required, upon completion
of construction, the owner to fulfill MCESD requirements and obtain a post-
construction stormwater permit.
If applicable, the site plan shall contain a note designating the entity responsible
for operation and maintenance of the on-lot stormwater management facilities
consistent with an approved operation and maintenance plan.
It should be noted that several other Maricopa County agencies must review and
recommend approval of this project. Final approval authority for this project rests
with the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors.
