P-26-79-CUP Final Public Participation Report

Citizen Participation Report
for
A King Steel Conditional Use Permit Request
660 E. 38th Ave, Apache Junction, AZ
Case #: P-26-62-PDR
October 14, 2026
INTRODUCTION:
This Citizen Participation Report is included in conjunction with an application for a
Conditional Use Permit application. The subject site is currently zoned B-5 Industrial
within the City of Apache Junction, Arizona. The use of Steel Fabrication is allowed in
this zoning district with an approved Conditional Use Permit (CUP). This application
seeks to obtain that CUP to allow for this heavy industrial uses on the subject site.
The Citizen Participation Report was prepared in accordance with City of Apache
Junction Citizen Review Process & Procedures. As prepared, this Participation Report
meets the City’s requirements and includes the recommended 300 foot notification

The purpose of this report is three-fold: first, to identify the persons who may be
directly affected by the proposed CUP; second, to identify any interested parties
that need to be notified as a result of the proposed CUP request; and third, to provide
an opportunity for area residents and interested parties to provide comments on the
proposed CUP application prior to the public hearing so that if any issues arise they
can be resolved before the hearing.
PARTIES AFFECTED BY APPLICATION:

SCHEDULE FOR COMPLETION:
As noted previously, notification and participation efforts occurred as follows:
• Initial notification – a notice of this application was mailed to all
property owners within 300’ of the subject site (as well as any other
interested parties as identified by staff), and the subject site was
posted per City of Apache Junction requirements. This notice also
included information about when and where the neighborhood
meeting was held.

STATUS PROCEDURE:
The applicant recognizes that it is to our benefit to keep City of Apache Junction
Planning Department staff apprised of the notification efforts that occur, and any
responses received by any interested party. Therefore, the applicant, in addition to
the Citizen Participation Report noted above, has kept staff apprised of meetings
and discussions through periodic correspondence, including letters and/or e-mails,
as well as phone calls. Additional notices of status changes will occur as necessary
and/or requested by the City of Apache Junction.
NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING RESULTS
A meeting was held on October 8th, 2026 at the Town of Apache Junction
Multigenerational Center, located at 1035 N Idaho Road in Apache Junction. There
were a total of five people in attendance, all from the development team and
representative. The meeting concluded at 7pm with no one else in attendance. The
sign-in sheet for the meeting has been attached to the end of this report.

RESOLUTION OF CONCERNS FROM NEIGHBORING BUSINESS OWNER
One neighboring business, adjacent to the subject site, reached out with several
concerns about the proposed CUP. The neighbor said that he could not make the
meeting but offered a list of concerns. The applicant responded to the neighboring
business owner and provided a detailed response to each of the issues raised by the
adjacent business, which is an RV self-storage facility. Both parties agreed to the
suggested mitigations and have arrive at workable solutions for all involved. A copy
of the initial email from the neighboring business and the proposed resolutions have
been attached at the end of this email. The adjacent business owner also visited the
site to confirm the conditions and better understand how the proposed mitigations
will work on the site. The applicant met with the neighbor and walked the site
together on Thursday October 15, 2026.
Current as of 10/15/26
On Friday October 16, 2026 Mr. Barry Raber provided an email that agrees to the 30
foot setback from their common property line that provides a fabric free buffer that
assists in keeping potential sparks from going into the adjacent property. It also asks
that as operations ramp up they will revisit any potential issues with sound, and odor
and develop workable mitigations. With these two comments, Mr. Raber said he is
“good to go”, with our application for the CUP. This email was provided to staff.
Current as of 10/16/26
On October 21st an additional letter of support was provided to staff from the nearby
“Sportsman’s Concrete business.” It was requested that this be included in the file for
this application.
Current as of 10/21/26
CONCLUSION
There were no others in attendance or that brought forth any additional comments.
We feel that adequate answers and mitigations were provided and detailed
sufficiently to move the application forward for hearing. If any additional information
or concerns are brought up they will be included in an amended version of this
report. Those additional issues/concerns or resolutions have been added
immediately above with the date they were added to the report. All issues have
been resolved and all individuals or business that are currently in support of this
application at of October 29, 2026.

September 22, 2026
Dear Community Member,
This notification letter is to inform you about an
application for a Conditional Use Permit to allow
for a steel fabrication business as an industrial
use within the B-5 industrial zoning district on
the parcel shown in the map to the right. This
request for a conditional use permit is not a SITE
change of zoning since the property is already
zoned B-5 for industrial uses. Rather, this
application is an additional layer of approval.
A.King Steel has committed to mitigating
potential issues in advance to resolve any
concerns ahead of time related to sound, odors, glare, lighting, smoke, and heat. Traffic will be minimal
and will produce less traffic than the previous use, which was a towing business with a vehicle impound
yard. A steel fabrication business with several employees will not generate the same traffic and the
circulation, roadways and parking will be adequate to allow for a steel fabrication business.
Work will occur indoors and outdoors. The hours of operation will be from 6am to 4:30pm Monday
through Friday. The site is surrounded by other industrial uses and is compatible with uses within the
Baseline Industrial Park.
We are hosting a neighborhood meeting to provide members of the community with an opportunity to
meet with us, provide feedback, and ask questions. Information for that meeting is contained below. If
you cannot make the meeting but want more information or want to provide feedback, please call or
email us at the number and email address below.
Neighborhood Meeting Information
The neighborhood meeting will be held in an open house format so that you can come and go at your
convenience. The doors will open at 6pm and will be there until 7p. You can come by anytime during that
window. Here are the details:
Location: Apache Junction Multi-Generational Facility (MGC), located at 1035 N
Idaho Road Apache Junction, AZ 85119.
Date/Time: Thursday October 8, 2026 at 6p-7p
Format: Open house format

Barry,
I spoke with our planner, and he said that he received your email. As a result we discuss
the following responses with him last night at the neighborhood meeting.
Please find below a more detailed set of defined mitigation with specific measures and
evaluation/enforcement methods. I’ve also provided an explanation in (italics) for each response so
that you may better understand our client’s perspective.
Let me know if you have any comments, or if you would like to jump on a call Tuesday of next
week.
Mitigations
Fire and spark risk to stored vehicles
A 30 -foot no-spark-work setback from the portion of the property line that is shared, will be
established. All outdoor hot-work activities will occur outside of the 30-foot setback. Fire
extinguishers shall be located near hot-work equipment on site. Specific hot-work and fire-watch
procedure shall include inspection of the work area after hot work is completed.
(Explanation - This setback along with a metal screen wall fence along the common portion of the
shared boundary will help to mitigate many of your concerns, especially the sparking, viewing arc
welds along with dampening the sound.)
Work start times
As a mitigation commitment, fabrication activities, particularly grinding, impact tools, hammering,
steel loading/unloading, crane operations shall be prohibited before 5:00 a.m. Monday through
Saturday from May through August 6am all other months. No work shall occur after 10pm. Work on
Saturday shall occur from 7a-8pm. A solid, continuous noise barrier along the portion of the shared
boundary will be considered to mitigate noise and welding lights and welding arcs.

(Explanation - Our client feels very strongly about creating a safe work environment for their
employees who do heavy work outside. They believe that employees should be able to start early, as
construction workers would, since it is far too hot in our Phoenix summers to start outdoor work
later than that. This especially important for worker that are working heat and hot material. We ask
for your extra consideration for those that need to work outside to complete their jobs)
Metal dust, smoke, and fumes
Indoor actives will use a local exhaust ventilation, portable fume extraction, dust collection, or other
appropriate controls. Cutting, grinding, and welding will typically occur within designated outdoor
work areas and shall be positioned away from the RV storage boundary, when possible. Daily
housekeeping procedures will prevent accumulation and windblown migration of metal debris and
periodic cleanups of paved areas will occur daily.
(Explanation – this mitigation will ensure daily housekeeping, ensure that work is done at least 30
feet from your property line and explains that work indoors will include additional measure of
precaution, but that those conditions differ from working outside in the open air.)
Glare and light
No lighting should directly illuminate the RV storage property. Security lighting should be limited to
the minimum necessary for safety and security. Welding screens or curtains should be installed
around stationary welding areas to prevent direct visibility of welding arcs from neighboring
properties in addition to the extended solid barrier that will be put up between the common portion
of the property line.
(Explanation – The combination of the both the extended opaque screen wall and the welding
screens and curtains will eliminate the majority of, light, glare, and views of the welding arcs.
Lighting is needed to provide safe working conditions.)
Heavy truck traffic
Truck loading/unloading shall occur away from the shared RV storage boundary outside of the 30-
foot setback area. Semis and material-handling equipment will occur in clearly defined unloading
staging areas. No off-loading or truck traffic will occur on 37th Avenue.
(Explanation - Truck traffic is anticipated to be far less than other nearby industrial uses that are
closer to the RV storage facility on 37th Avenue. The only place there may some additional traffic
will be a shared drive on Winchester Rd. Which is also used by Ikon Steel, Sunstate Equipment,

Empire Rentals, and Sportsman’s Concrete (all heavy industrial uses with significantly more semi-
truck use than this use would produce).
Other mitigation commitments
The site plan, development narrative, and conditions of approval, will serve as enforcement tools. A
written Operations and Mitigation Plan identifying operating hours, hot-work locations, noise
controls, lighting, dust/fume controls, truck circulation, fire-safety procedures, and complaint-
response procedures will be provided upon request. City mechanism for addressing violations shall
be honored and enforced.
(Explanation – We discussed adding these specific conditions to the project narrative with our staff
planner. He said that would be good since the narrative is part of the record for this case and would
document how enforcement and other conditions would be monitored and evaluated if issue come up
in the future. The city has its own enforcement measures if a business is out of compliance with code
or conditions of a Conditional Use Permit.)
Impact on business and property value
Create a 30-foot screening and operational buffer along the shared property line. A solid or
equivalent noncombustible screen will occur on the portion of shared boundary with the RV storage
property. Outdoor fabrication, hot work, and truck loading areas will be kept outside of the 30-foot
buffer boundary, but material may be stored within buffer. The buffer will be maintained in a clean
and orderly fashion. City driven complaint-response will be used to substantiated claims involving
noise, dust, smoke, lighting, sparks, or traffic.
(Explanation – The standard method for enforcement is the city complain driven process. Any issues
that arise will then be investigated by staff to ensure compliance from a neutral third party).
Our client has agreed to these additional restrictions to directly respond to your specific comments.
This email exchange will be included in our report to city staff showing that we are offering
reasonable solutions for a use that is only allowed in this industrial district. This use is not allowed
nowhere else within the town of Apache Junction; this is one of the few location where a business as
this can be located. It is also a location where residential uses are typically not allowed, so that these
uses can occur somewhere that is safe and away from residential uses.
As mentioned above we would be more than glad to continue the dialog and further discuss our
efforts to meet your requests. Thank you for email, we hope that your concerns have been addressed
to your satisfaction.

Subject: Conditional Use Permit A.King Steel
Mr. Buschbacher and Mr. Earl,
We own a property adjacent to one you are seeking a Conditional Use Permit for in Apache
Junction.
We have some serious concerns about this. Because I live in Oregon, I cannot make it to
the meeting on Thursday.
Our facility stores customers' recreational vehicles, trailers and boats under covered
canopies that sit along our shared boundary. We also have an on-site resident manager
who lives on the property full-time for security purposes. This makes our parcel a residence
as well as a business, and it places both people and high-value property within a short
distance of the proposed outdoor fabrication work.
Our concerns are as follows:
1. Fire and spark risk to stored vehicles. Outdoor cutting, welding and grinding
throw sparks and hot slag. Our canopies shelter RVs and trailers that carry
fuel, propane tanks and batteries. A single ignition at the property line could
spread across multiple vehicles and endanger our resident manager.
2. Noise beginning at 6:00 a.m. Steel fabrication involves grinding, hammering,
impact tools, cranes and the loading of steel. Starting at 6:00 a.m. five days a
week, this noise would directly affect our resident manager, who lives on site,
as well as customers accessing their vehicles.
3. Metal dust, smoke and fumes. Grinding and cutting outdoors releases fine
metal particulates and welding fumes. These can drift onto stored vehicles,
causing rust spotting and finish damage that our customers will hold us
responsible for. They also raise health concerns for our resident manager.
4. Glare and light. Welding arcs produce intense, flickering light that is visible
well beyond the work area, along with any added security or work lighting.
5. Heavy truck traffic. Steel is delivered and shipped on flatbed semis, often with
forklift or crane loading. This is a different kind of traffic from a towing
business, and it adds wear, congestion and safety risk on the shared roads
our customers use to tow and drive large RVs.
6. Mitigation commitments are undefined. The notice says A. King Steel "has
committed to mitigating potential issues" related to sound, odors, glare,
lighting, smoke and heat. It does not say how. Without specific measures,
there is no way for neighbors or the City to evaluate or enforce them.
7. Impact on our business and property value. RV storage customers choose a
facility for safety and cleanliness. A fabrication yard on our boundary

threatens customer retention, occupancy and the value of our property.

Mike,
Met with Amanda.
If we can have a 30 foot no fabrication or spark setback so that area gets used for storage and an
agreement that if we have issues with sound, odor, dust once they get going that they will work with us to
mitigate, then we are good to go.

Just met with Barry and we had a good discussion as I walked him through the property and plans. He
also realized they are 8’ walls. I asked him if he had immediate concerns and he said not at this time. I
encouraged him to reach out directly anytime if he or his onsite manager had concerns and I’d be happy
to work with him. He asked our timeline and I shared, then invited him to come back out when I'm all set
up to see if he has concerns after we get operations going out here.
Let me know if you have questions.
Amanda
