Please use caution when you receive messages from new senders. Always validate the sender first. I am a property owner and registered voter living in the Saguaro West Area of Cave Creek. My residence is located approximately 300 yards from Desert Foothills Nursery. On 12/7/23, Maricopa County P&Z approved a lot-split of Desert Foothills Nursery, and rezoning application submitted by "Toy Barn" to C-2 with carefully negotiated conditions. I am personally familiar with these conditions because I was one of the individuals responsible for the drafting and acceptance of these conditions. THE CONSISTENCY OF THIS RURAL AREA REQUIRES THAT THESE SAME CONDITIONS BE APPLIED TO THE DESERT FOOTHILLS NURSERY APPLICATION. Comes now, the owner of Desert Foothills Nursery is making an application to rezone the balance of the lot from RU to C-2. This application DOES NOT include any of the carefully negotiated conditions recorded with the Toy Barn application. This rezoning inconsistency will be a travesty for the residents living in this rural area. I am opposed to any potential multi-family dwelling units, the sales of compressed gas/propane, billboards, lighting, traffic access into 1 the Saguaro West community off of 52nd Street, and we absolutely do not want a cell phone tower in our residential neighborhood. The Desert Foothills Nursery has been operating under a Special Use Permit within our residential zone. This rezoning application is not necessary for the Nursery to continue operating in the same fashion while retaining the RU zoning. If the Board of Supervisors does grant a change in zoning to C-2, it must include the same restrictions and conditions as the adjoining Toy Barn parcel. Thank you for your attention to this matter. -- Karen Hukill 5042 E.

Please use caution when you receive messages from new senders. Always validate the sender first. I reside in the notification section for this application. This is a residential community. The Desert Foothills Nursery has operated under a special use permit within our residential zone for many years. I feel there is no need to change the zoning to C-2. There is no need for feed stores of any kind in this neighborhood. There are several feed stores within a few miles and some in walking distance from the nursery. There is no need for cell towers as there are many already in this neighborhood. There clearly is no need for a billboard and especially within 39 feet of a residential property. There are at least 2 places to obtain propane within walking distance of the nursery. I am vehemently opposed to any multi-family housing units, the sale of any feed sources, expansive lighting and traffic access into our neighborhood from 52nd street. I am vehemently opposed to any billboards, the sale of propane gas and certainly no cell towers. The application for the Toy Barn Z2023090 was approved with negotiated conditions. These same conditions must also be applied to the Desert Foothills nursery application Z2023052 in order to maintain continuity in our residential community. I am asking you to please maintain the integrity of our neighborhood. The Desert Foothills Nursery has operated with a special use permit since its beginning. The neighborhood is opposed to this request for commercial zoning. We ask for it to stay with its current use. If any change is made it needs to be continuation with the Z2023090 conditions. Thank you for your attention to this process.

Please use caution when you receive messages from new senders. Always validate the sender first. Good Morning, I am for the rezoning for case number Z2023052. I have found previously that the neighbors that have complained about other projects in the area have lied to others to get them to oppose it also. The also handed in petitions with people signing that live as far as Connecticut and have signed twice. Many petitions not even explaining what they were signing. I hope you vote yest to the zoning. If you get a lot of opposition, it is probably because they don’t know the facts and are following the loudest voices when they have no idea what is going on. Janet Mohr 1 DATE: January 11, 2024 TO: Planning & Zoning Commission From: Nick Schlimm, Planner SUBJECT: Z2023052 – Desert Foothills Gardens Nursery Agenda Item: #4 Since the publication of the staff report for the referenced case, staff received comments from the Town of Cave Creek (herein referred to as “the Town” or “Cave Creek”). In their letter, Cave Creek thanked the County for allowing the opportunity to review the case and acknowledged their familiarity with the subject site. The Town noted that an attempt to annex the subject site was made as recently as 2014. This was unsuccessful, as Cave Creek was unable to secure the necessary land ownership consent to do so. In their letter, Cave Creek acknowledges the 105’ landscape setback established (within Maricopa County jurisdiction) from the centerline of Cave Creek Road, as required in the MCZO. The letter refers to this as a “Scenic Corridor setback” and further notes that the MCZO prohibits billboards within a Maricopa County Scenic Corridor and within 660’ of a Scenic Corridor Overlay Zoning District. County staff notes that Cave Creek Road is not a designated Scenic Corridor, nor is the subject site located within 660’ of a Scenic Corridor Overlay Zoning District. The Town provided the following recommendations to County staff: • “…that Maricopa County consider a condition that prohibits the installation of both static and digital billboards.” • “…that Maricopa County consider conditions to restrict the height, total square footage and illumination of any future signage to limit adverse visual impact on the area.” • “…that a Condition of Approval be considered where any future consideration of [Wireless Communication Facilities] be subject to a Special Use… to inform surrounding property owners.” The letter concluded with a request that both the applicant and Maricopa County consider the associated regulations of neighboring properties, particularly regarding maximum height restrictions for structures and outdoor lighting. County staff notes that the conditions of approval permit a single static billboard but that illuminated billboards (including digital) and billboard embellishments are prohibited. No restrictions have been established on the square footage of signage (beyond the base regulations established by the MCZO), but the maximum height of all buildings, structures, and billboards would be restricted to 28’. Likewise, the maximum height of outdoor lighting would be restricted to 10’ and further restricted to six feet within the west side building setback along 52nd Street. These height restrictions are the same restrictions that will be established for the adjacent site to the north if the Board of Supervisors approves case Z2023090 (also a request for a zone change from Rural-43 to C-2 CUPD). Since the publication of the staff report, staff has also received an additional 17 letters of opposition from members of the public. Most of these additional letters are from residents in the Cave Creek area, although none are from properties within 300’ feet of the subject site. These letters, received between January 3rd and January 9th, have been attached to this handout. Attachments: Town of Cave Creek Comments (2 pages) Letters of Opposition (18 pages) January 4, 2024 To: Nicholas Schlimm Maricopa County Planning and Development 301 West Jefferson Street, Suite 170 Phoenix, Arizona 85003 Cc: Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, Maricopa County Planning and Zoning Commissioners & Applicant – Upfront Planning and Entitlements LLC on behalf of Scenic Foothills LLC. Re: Z2023052 – A request to Rezone to C-2 CUPD to allow retail and wholesale plant nursery with additional retail Dear Mr. Schlimm: The Development Services Department on behalf of the Town of Cave Creek would like to thank you for the opportunity to review the associated case scheduled to come before the Maricopa County Planning and Zoning Commission in January. The Town is familiar with the property and has even, as recently as 2014, taken steps to annex the property as a result of an Intergovernmental Agreement with Maricopa County. That process was not successful as the Town was unable to secure the necessary land ownership consent to move forward. Staff has reviewed the application material received by your office in October of this year and, although staff has not received an updated or revised application based on Maricopa County staff’s comments, will make the following comments based upon that submittal: • The applicant’s narrative states that, “No changes to the existing buildings or signage are currently proposed, and they will remain unchanged unless modified with the subsequent POD.” However, the proposed C-2 CUPD Development Standards indicate “Billboards per MCZO,” which prohibits billboards within 660 feet of a Scenic Corridor Overlay Zoning District AND prohibits billboards located on any property located within a Maricopa County Scenic Corridor (1403.3.1.D & E). It is the understanding of the Town, that Cave Creek Rd. beginning at Jomax Rd. and continuing north to Carefree Highway has an adopted Scenic Corridor setback of one- hundred and five feet (105’) measured from the centerline of Cave Creek Rd. T:\Planning\LETTERS\MC Z2023052.doc • The applicant proposes Billboards per MCZO. The Town would request confirmation that, based upon Maricopa County’s review and detailed Staff Report, the current adopted Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance would preclude and otherwise prohibit the installation or erection of both static and digital billboards. Further, should staff deem that billboards are acceptable on the subject property, the Town would recommend that Maricopa County consider a condition that prohibits the installation of both static and digital billboards. • Due to the nature of Cave Creek Rd., specifically north of Lone Mountain Rd., the Town would recommend that Maricopa County consider conditions that restrict height, total square footage and illumination of any future signage to limit adverse visual impact on the area. The neighboring Commercial Zone, within the Town of Cave Creek, has a maximum sign height of twelve feet (12’), a maximum sign area of forty-eight (48) square feet and prohibits internally illuminated signs. • The applicant proposes Wireless Communication Facilities per MCZO (1202); the Town of Cave Creek allows Wireless Communication Facilities in all zones subject to approval of a Special Use Permit by the legislative body (Town Council). The Town recommends that a Condition of Approval be considered where any future consideration of such use be subject to a Special Use as well to inform surrounding property owners. In addition to the items identified above, the Town of Cave Creek would also ask that both the applicant and Maricopa County consider the associated regulations of neighboring properties, both residential and commercial, as future development may occur on the subject property including the maximum height of structures and outdoor lighting. The Town of Cave Creek limits the maximum height of structures, in all zones, to two (2) stories and twenty-five (25) feet measured from natural grade to the top of the roofline or peak of roof. Cave Creek also restricts building mounted outdoor lighting installed to a maximum of ten (10) feet in height and further requires that all outdoor lighting be shielded and cast downward so that the light source (bulb) is not clearly visible from any adjacent property or street. At this time, the Town of Cave Creek has no further comments related to Maricopa County application case number Z2023052. Should you have any questions or wish to discuss this letter in more detail, please do not hesitate to contact me directly. Respectfully, Luke Kautzman, MPA Development Services Director/ Zoning Administrator Town of Cave Creek (480) 488-6633 lkautzman@cavecreekaz.gov T:\Planning\LETTERS\MC Z2023052.doc Nicholas Schlimm (PND) From: bruce brucearlen.com <bruce@brucearlen.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 3, 2024 6:39 AM To: Nicholas Schlimm (PND) Cc: Cave Creek Dark Sky Initiaitve Subject: Rezoning Case Z2023052 This Message Is From an Untrusted Sender You have not previously corresponded with this sender. Please use caution when you receive messages from new senders. Always validate the sender first. Hi Nicholas, This is concerning the Rezoning Case Z2023052, specifically to request the County to restrict the CUPD overlay, to eliminate the following three usages: 1. No billboards: lit and or digital billboards are light polluters, dark sky killers, and driver distractors whether the sign lobby agrees or not. This is essentially the wrong kind of advertising devise for our area. 2. No cellphone or wireless communication towers or facilities: These towers near to or next to housing or anywhere where people work are a dangerous electronic emission field that everyone knows is bad for health and should not be placed so close to humans and pets. 3. No retail sale of gas (including propane, butane or otherwise): Again, this is a health issue due to noxious and toxic fumes as well as a danger from explosion. In addition, it attracts and promotes the kind of traffic and activity that is disruptive to a community like this. Because this proposed rezoning property is close to and abuts this long-standing residential community to the west and the south, this rezoning proposal should be highly restrictive for any current or future usage to only a cactus or plant nursery business. In that case there would be no need for 40ft tall structures or buildings. Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Nicholas, My husband, Tyler Hurlock, and I are in opposition for the rezoning of the Desert Foothills Nursery. We moved to N 48th street in Cave Creek from Connecticut. We visited for the first time in January of 2019 and moved here five months later. We immediately fell in love with the area and overall lifestyle that Cave Creek presented us with. We love the quiet, uncluttered, historic, and overall feel of Cave Creek. Recently, it feels like this perfectly undisturbed town has become congested with unnecessary big businesses such as McDonald’s and Harbor Freight. Adding billboards, cell towers and apartment buildings will only add to the mess. Cave Creek is simple and an escape from the city. We do not want the hustle and bustle to creep into our quiet slice of heaven.

Please use caution when you receive messages from new senders. Always validate the sender first. My name is Tim Troutman. I oppose the above rezoning request for the following reasons. i live in the neighborhood directly behind the proposed rezoning site im located in the city of cave creek. we moved here because cave creek and carefree have set back and sign ordinances prohibiting large tall signage and commercial business road frontages without a buffer zone similar to the walmart directly across the street. the strip of maricopa county land where the proposed zoning change is requested for will not blend with the rest of the commercial land use along cave creek road and will be unsightly with tall billboards and cell towers giving our community heavy commercial/industrial look directly adjacent to a residential area that residents moved to specifically to enjoy the low density zoning (1 acre lots) and for their view of black mountian which will be affected by the zoning change. all of us in the area affected area moved here to get away from the exact type zoning/land use thats proposed. we moved here to get away from the cluttered over built big city such as phoenix etc. the neighborhood directly behind the proposed zoning change will be adversely impacted by this change soley for the profit of a few to the detriment of the many who have lived here for years and expect to live here for many more in quiet enjoyment of their low density properties and unrestricted view of black mountian with very little commercial noise, traffic, signage and possible interference/danger from propane or cell tower emissions. in short please dont turn our quiet neighborhood into a downtown phoenix, glendale, mesa cluttered big city. theres plenty of other uses for the property and we feel that our lifestyle and neighborhood should be taken into consideration when adjacent land use zoning is requested. any use of the land should prohibit large signage, tall structures, and require setbacks and unobtrusive buildings like the wallmart across the street. there is plenty of land not directly adjacent to a low density neighborhood to install cell towers, billboards and tall structures etc and putting them on the disputed zoning change land is driven by a desire of a few for profit to the detriment of the many land owners who moved here trusting that there lifestyle was protected by the original zoning decisions made the county and cities. please dont fold and give in to the requests for zoning changes that will do to us what it has done to everyone in the country next to a big city and ruin their quiet enjoyment with profit driven big city commercial barrio creep syndrome.
