feet per the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance Section 11-05.
8. Happy Valley Road is classified as a future minor arterial requiring fee dedication of a 55-
foot half street from the section line. Applicant is required to provide, at applicant’s expense,
an American Land Title Association(“ALTA”) Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance showing title
vested in Maricopa County, a political subdivision of the State of Arizona.
d. The following Rural-43 MAAMF standards shall apply:
1. Maximum Height: 50’ for substation only, all other structures shall meet the Rural-43

during that two-year period will not render the project nonconforming; and (iii) once building
permits are issued, subsequent residential construction will not render battery unit locations
nonconforming.
e. All buildings subject to noise attenuation as per ARS § 28-8482(B).
f. Prior to issuance of a building permit, written confirmation will be required from the
emergency fire protection jurisdiction having authority that the facility has been designed in

service will be provided to the facility. Prior to issuance of the certificate of occupancy, local
fire protection jurisdiction review and approval will be required.
g. 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 may be
considered for revocation 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 MCP. The MCP
Development enhances the value of the property above its value as of the date the MCP is
granted and reverting to the prior zoning results in the same value of the property as if the
MCP had never been granted.

Mr. Ellsworth gave historical background surrounding this item. He said in the 2023
update, the discussion about this property centered on the BNSF project area
anticipating the property being annexed into the City of Surprise. Mr. Ellsworth said all
land uses during the update assumed the project would develop under the City of
Surprise jurisdiction. He said BNSF withdrew from the annexation and entitlement
process with Surprise and filed zoning and land use applications with Maricopa County.
This required a change to zoning and land use that required a major comprehensive
plan amendment. BNSF was actively involved at the time the amendment was adopted
and raised no objections to what was proposed and adopted at the time. Every action
happened under the assumption this would be done through the active annexation
process.
This case was originally heard before the planning and zoning commission on November
7, 2024, where it was approved by the commission. It was then brought before the Board
of Supervisors (BOS) on December 11, 2024. The hearing was continued multiple times,

first to March 26, 2025, then to August 20, 2025, and now to November 5, 2025. This
took place so the applicant could work more closely with the residents, County staff, and
regional partners with infrastructure planning and intergovernmental agreements to
address important issues.
Mr. Ellsworth said the applicant is currently working closely with Arizona Department of
Transportation (ADOT), MCDOT, and the City of Surprise to prepare a traffic analysis.
He reviewed the figures on the slide above.
Mr. Ellsworth noted the case has generated significant public participation as illustrated
on the slide above. He said supporters emphasized the economic opportunities
associated with the project. Opponents expressed concerns about quality of life. He also
noted that the City of Surprise adopted a resolution in October 2025 formally opposing
BNSF’s request in its current form.

Supervisor Lesko asked Mr. Ellsworth to reiterate that District 4 had 5,543 residents in
support and 6,150 in opposition and he confirmed the numbers. She thanked the
mapping team for the map depiction of a 10-mile radius around the BNSF site. She
asked for support and opposition figures within the 10-mile area that Mr. Ellsworth
provided. Supervisor Lesko commented on the number of meetings she has attended
concerning this matter and one of the biggest concerns is increased traffic in the area.
She provided another review of the slide below.
Supervisor Lesko asked Mr. Gutierrez about the traffic that would be generated just from
the construction workers building the plant. He responded that construction workers
were not included in the above projections. She asked what the current traffic status is
considered to be. Mr. Gutierrez responded, it is considered to be a Service Level F,
which is very slow-moving, congested traffic, bumper to bumper, etc. He said the traffic
system in that area is at capacity and if it goes beyond current capacity, it will cause
problems. He noted the addition of any traffic will cause backups. Supervisor Lesko also
asked about expanding Grand Avenue or the Loop 303 that would help mitigate this
problem. She also asked about funding for such a project. Mr. Gutierrez stated Prop 479
includes two projects to make improvements to the area roadways. When asked if there
was available funding, Mr. Gutierrez noted we are short of funds for the estimated project
cost of $275,000,000 for the Loop 303 interchange and $89,000,000 for the US 60 and
163rd Avenue expansion.
Susan Demmett, representative for BNSF, came forward and said she was going to
focus her remarks on two things: a request for a continuance and the major
comprehensive plan amendment request. She detailed what the project entailed and the
applications pending with Maricopa County for the property owned by BNSF in northwest
Maricopa County illustrated in the slide below. She noted that the major comprehensive
plan amendment and rezoning applications were filed together in May of 2024 and it
was with the intent they move through the process together.

Ms. Demmett explained a final continuance is being asked for today to allow the
rezoning application to catch up to the comprehensive plan amendment. It would also
allow for working toward reaching agreements with other regional entities.
Ms. Demmett commented on the above slide, noting the BNSF property was purchased
in 2004 in anticipation of serving the Phoenix metro area. She said this is a critical
component of the state supply chain infrastructure. The area continues to grow,
increasing the need for the supply chain infrastructure.

Ms. Demmett reviewed the slide above concerning the November 7, 2024, Planning and
Zoning Commission Staff Report. She stated they have been working closely for several
years with the City of Surprise. She said in 2023 the City of Surprise updated its general
plan to reflect an employment designation on BNSF’s 4,300 acres. Ms. Demmett noted
a mistake was made when the Maricopa County White Tank Grand Avenue was updated
by inadvertently changing the land use designation. Maricopa County and BNSF did not
catch the error at that time. She explained to restore the County’s intent and correct the
error; BNSF filed a major comprehensive plan amendment in 2024 which is before the
Board today.
Ms. Demmett reviewed the slide above.
Maricopa County White Tank Grand Avenue Area
Plan (adopted December 6, 2023):The area subject
to this application is designated Single-Family
Rural, which allows for residential uses with a
density of one dwelling unit per acre.(It should be
noted that prior to the 2023 plan update most of the
subject area was designated Industrialbut
that historical land use designation was
inadvertently changed on the map during the
update.)
November 7, 2024
Planning & Zoning Commission Staff Report
17. This area has always been considered appropriate for
industrial development. This is seen in the early mining
developments spurred by the expansion of the railway into
the Arizona territory; the nascent industrial developments
enabled by the developments of US-60 and SR-74; and the
rapid suburban growth prompted by the construction of the
Loop 303 freeway.The WTGA Area Plan anticipated
industrial development on and around this site and
intended to emulate the City of Surprise general plan
designation. The site includes access to both rail lines and
major roadways. Site operations would potentially provide
hundreds of jobs across the skill spectrum and promote
further economic growth.

Ms. Demmett skipped several slides and reviewed the slide directly above. She noted
the area in purple represents the bulk of the BNSF property which is mixed use
employment in the White Tanks Grand Avenue Area Plan. The areas highlighted in
yellow represent single family rural properties. She noted the error seems to be obvious.
She continued with discussion concerning the White Tanks Grand Avenue Area Plan
and what it contains explaining there are references to the BNSF as a core employment
component.
Ms. Demmett reiterated she is respectfully asking the Board to grant a continuance of
this application. She stated if the Board was not inclined to move forward with the
comprehensive plan amendment, she asked they support the staff’s recommended
approval and follow the Commission’s recommendation of approval.
Board members had several concerns:

If stakeholders were able to review the map before it was approved.
When the applicant became aware of the mapping error and was it before or
after they decided to move Maricopa County planning and zoning,
In response to these inquiries, Ms. Demmett stated BNSF left the City of Surprise
because they were no longer able to provide water solutions for this property. She also
explained what Type 2 water rights entailed. She noted stakeholders were able to review
the map before it was approved and the error was discovered when they were working
through technical details for filing the rezoning application. She explained the decision
to move to Maricopa County was made before the mapping error was discovered.
Supervisor Lesko asked if the County denied this request would BNSF be able to go
back to the City of Surprise and would not need approval from Maricopa County. Mr.
Ellsworth answered in the affirmative.
Chairman Galvin noted there are four speakers in favor, 28 speakers in opposition,

Supervisor Lesko asked Mr. Ellsworth about land use and if the Board was to deny the
application today were there other options available to BNSF. He noted there are several
options that can be taken to keep the project moving.
Supervisor Debbie Lesko made a motion to deny CPA2024006 the BNSF Intermodal

Formal Meeting Minutes
11/05/2025
Page 22 of 57
Site Location: Generally located at the SEC of Carefree Hwy. and Central Ave. in the Desert
Hills area
Commission Recommendation: At the September 11, 2025, Commission hearing, the
Commission recommended denial of Z25009 by a vote of 8-0 (Motion by Commissioner
Whitney D3, seconded by Commissioner Rochwalik D3).
The staff report for the Commission included recommended conditions ‘a’ – ‘l’. If the Board
would like to consider a motion to approve the zone change, staff offers conditions ‘a’ – ‘l’ as
follows:
a. Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Zoning Exhibit
entitled “Carefree Commercial“, consisting of one full-size sheet, dated June 4, 2025, and
stamped received June 16, 2025, except as modified by the following conditions. Staff may
determine slight refinements to remain in substantial conformance with the approved site
plan. Minor and major amendments to the site plan will be determined in accordance with
Chapter 3 of the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance.
b. Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Narrative Report
entitled “Carefree Commercial”, consisting of 11 pages, dated July 17, 2025, and stamped
received July 17, 2025, except as modified by the following conditions.
c. The following Planning Engineering conditions shall apply:
1. Without the submittal of a precise plan of development, no development approval is
inferred by this review, including, but not limited to number of proposed building lots/units,
drainage design, access and roadway alignments. These items will be addressed as
development plans progress and are submitted to the County for further review and/or
entitlement.
2. A traffic impact study must be submitted with future entitlement (POD or Preliminary Plat)
application(s). Due to the preliminary nature of this zone change request MCDOT traffic did
not comment on the zone change review and will make comments once more details are
provided in the future entitlements.
3. Engineering review of re-zone cases is conceptual in nature. All development and
engineering design shall be in conformance with Section 1205 of the Maricopa County
Zoning Ordinance; Drainage Policies and Standards; Floodplain Regulations for Maricopa
County; MCDOT Roadway Design Manual; and current engineering policies, standards and
best practices at the time of application for construction.
d. Administrative approval of a Plan of Development will be required prior to approval and
issuance of construction permits to develop and establish use of the site. Prior to issuance
of a building permit, written confirmation will be required from the emergency fire protection
jurisdiction having authority that the facility has been designed in accordance with their
regulations and requirements, and that emergency fire protection service will be provided to
the facility. Prior to issuance of the certificate of occupancy, local fire protection jurisdiction
review and approval will be required.
e. The CUPD overlay is applied to restrict the use of the site. Until such time as the site is
served by sewer, uses on the site shall only be those acceptable to the Maricopa County
Environmental Services Department (MCESD) that can be accommodated by septic
systems. A public water system and public sewer system shall be required prior to
establishment of any non-residential use that requires potable water.
f. This CUPD overlay shall prohibit the following land uses:

1. Marijuana establishment and dispensaries.
2. Adult-oriented establishments.
3. Auctions.
4. Vehicle Repairs.
5. Storage of hazardous materials.
6. Any use that requires access to urban services, such as water lines and sewer lines, as
determined by MCESD.
g. This CUPD overlay shall limit entitled land uses to the following:
1. Neighborhood commercial.
2. Professional offices.
3. Self-service storage facility.
h. The following C-2 CUPD development and design standards shall apply:
1. Maximum building height of 30’
2. Minimum 70’ landscape setback from the Carefree Hwy. right-of-way inclusive of a ten-
foot-wide multi-use trail along the entire frontage of Carefree Hwy.
3. There shall be a min. 25’ deep landscape setback along the right-of-way of Central Ave.
4. Minimum 10’ wide landscape setback/drainage channel along the southern boundary.
5. Development shall abide by all design guidelines listed for the Carefree Highway Scenic
Corridor, except as specifically deviated by these conditions of CUPD approval.
i. All outdoor lighting shall be in conformance with Section 1112 of the Zoning Ordinance,
including any outdoor lighting under the roof of open-shaded structures, and must be
shielded directing illumination downward at least twenty degrees below the horizonal plane
at the bottom of the light source and so as not shine onto any adjacent property in rural or
residential zoning districts. Further there shall be no indoor lighting source above 20’ in
height allowed to illuminate exterior from the building.
j. Noncompliance with any of the conditions assigned to the approval of this Zone Change
by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors may be grounds for revocation in accordance
with the requirements and procedures as set forth in the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance.
k. 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.
l. 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 may be
considered for revocation 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.

PERFORMANCE STANDARDS), RULE 370 (FEDERAL HAZARDOUS AIR POLLUTANT
PROGRAM), RULE 371 (ACID RAIN), AND APPENDIX G (INCORPORATED
MATERIALS)
Convene a public hearing, as required by Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) § 49-479(b), to
solicit comments on incorporating federal standards into Maricopa County Air Pollution
Control Regulations: Rule 360 (New Source Performance Standards), Rule 370 (Federal
Hazardous Air Pollutant Program), Rule 371 (Acid Rain), and Appendix G (Incorporated
Materials). Following the public hearing, the Board is requested to adopt the proposed
incorporations into the Maricopa County Air Pollution Control Regulations.
The Maricopa County Air Pollution Control Regulations contain several rules, Rules 360,
370, 371, and Appendix G, which incorporate by reference federal regulations from Title 40
of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). These federal regulations include New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS), National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) and Acid Rain regulations. Every July 1, the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) codifies revisions made to these federal regulations during the preceding year.
The purpose of this rulemaking is to incorporate by reference the applicable federal
regulations as codified on July 1, 2025, and thereby update Rules 360, 370, 371, and
Appendix G with any revisions made to the corresponding federal rules during the preceding
year. This is necessary in order to continue to comply with the Maricopa County Air Quality

AQ-2024-005-RULE 204 (EMISSION REDUCTION CREDIT (ERC) GENERATION,
CERTIFICATION, AND USE)
Convene a public hearing, as required by Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) § 49-479(b), to
solicit comments on the proposed revision of Maricopa County Air Pollution Control
Regulations, Rule 204 (Emission Reduction Credit (ERC) Generation, Certification, and Use)
and the associated proposed revision to the Arizona State Implementation Plan (SIP).
Following the public hearing, the Board is requested to adopt the proposed amendments to
the rule, to approve the submission of the amended rule as a revision to the Arizona SIP,
and to approve the withdrawal of the original December 20, 2019, Rule 204 SIP submittal.
The purpose of Rule 204 is to allow for the generation and certification of ERCs for use as
emission offsets. The purpose of this rulemaking is to address feedback from the U.S.
Environmental Agency (EPA) as well as feedback from stakeholders.
On December 20, 2019, the Maricopa County Air Quality Department (MCAQD) submitted
Rule 204 to the EPA for approval into the Arizona SIP, but the EPA never formally acted on
the SIP submittal. However, since the December 20, 2019, SIP submittal, MCAQD has
received informal feedback from the EPA regarding rule approvability issues and MCAQD
has worked with the EPA to adequately address these issues.
Additionally, MCAQD has received stakeholder feedback regarding rule useability and
applicability issues, including broadening the applicability of the rule to include all nonroad
engines. Broadening the applicability of the rule will allow a greater amount of nonroad
engine emission reduction credits to be issued from a wider variety of sources, thereby
increasing the availability of offsets for use by major sources in order to comply with Clean
Air Act requirements.
MCAQD is planning to withdraw the December 20, 2019, SIP submittal and replace it with a
new Rule 204 SIP submittal where both the EPA’s identified issues are addressed and
stakeholder feedback has been incorporated.

of the vehicles making it cost-prohibitive to acquire replacement parts with which to maintain
the vehicles.
The vehicles will be replaced with similar-style vehicles using funds from the County Attorney
(D190) Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organization (RICO) fund (213) approved June 11,
2025 (C-19-25-093-X-00-). The cost of the three vehicles to be paid from RICO funds shall
not exceed $175,000. The net impact on the County Attorney fleet is zero.
Pursuant to A.R.S. 38-538-03 and §28-2511(A), approve the issuance of non-governmental

These vehicles will replace vehicles that are used for law enforcement investigative

of the Board of Supervisors and retained in accordance with the LAPR-approved retention
schedule. As these vehicles will be permanent additions to the fleet, they will be disposed of

vehicles. As this action involves replacing existing fleet vehicles, expenditures for their
operation and maintenance will continue to be absorbed by the County Attorney's general
fund budget with zero net impact.

AMENDMENT AGREEMENT FOR DONATION FROM THE ARIZONA PROPANE GAS
ASSOCIATION (APGA) FOR THE PROPANE FIRE PIT PROGRAM
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute an Amendment 6 to the Agreement between
the Arizona Propane Gas Association (APGA) and Maricopa County by and through its Air
Quality Department to accept donated matching funding for the Maricopa County Air Quality
Department (MCAQD) Propane Fire Pit Program.
This Agreement will provide for continued use of matching funds to support MCAQD’s
Propane Fire Pit Program which encourages the exchange of wood burning fire pits for
cleaner burning propane gas devices, to aid in the reduction of particulate matter 2.5 (PM
2.5) during the wood burning season. This program will be marketed to all County residents
and will offer through e-mail a voucher which can be taken to select Home Depot stores
within Maricopa County for a discount on a propane fire pit. There will be a $50.00 discount
provided by the County and a $25.00 discount provided by the APGA, for a total of $75 per
program participant. The program is limited to a total of 400 vouchers redeemed. The term
of this Amendment shall commence on the Effective Date and end no later than April 1, 2026.
PM 2.5 is an EPA pollutant that is known to cause damaging health issues, including acute
asthma symptoms leading to hospitalization and heart disease, as the tiny pollutant can
deposit deep into the lungs and enter the blood stream. If PM 2.5 should exceed the EPA 24
hour or annual standard, this could lead to more stringent regulations and negative economic
impact for Maricopa County.
Donation revenue funds of $7,500 are deposited into Fund 504 when they were received.
Donation funds are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure
limitation; therefore, expenditures of these revenues are not prohibited by the budget law.
The approval of this action requested does not alter the budget constraining the expenditures
of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to ARS 42-17105. This county-wide
program is in all districts.

MOU WITH ARIZONA COMMUNITY ACTION ASSOCIATION, D/B/A WILDFIRE FOR
DIAPER DISTRIBUTION
Approve financial Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Arizona Community
Action Association (“Wildfire”) and Maricopa County, administered by its Human Services
Department. The purpose of this MOU is to establish a Diaper Distribution pilot program
between the Parties to distribute diapers and provide supportive services for families with
low incomes. Wildfire shall provide the Human Services Department with diapers and
diapering supplies for distribution to eligible low-income Maricopa County residents.
The term of this agreement is effective upon full execution of the MOU through September
29, 2026, and may be extended to additional terms. The numbers of diapers may be
increased or decreased upon mutual agreement between Wildfire and the County and will
not require a formal amendment.
Wildfire shall provide the County with $25,000 for administration of the pilot program in
Maricopa County.
Cash match or in-kind is not required in the MOU term. The services provided under this
MOU are not a mandated function but provide a benefit to the citizens by providing eligible
low-income residents with diapers and diapering supplies. Receipt of the funds from Wildfire
does not require future or ongoing contributions by the County at the end of the MOU term.
This MOU is issued through a non-competitive process, as the Human Services Department
provides services to residents that are low-income.
The Human Services Department indirect rate for FY2026 is 24%. The total MOU amount is
$25,000, of which $0 is for salaries and employee related expenses. The total estimated
indirect costs are $0, with $0 being recoverable, costs will be absorbed by the Human
Services Department budget. The grant award is recurring and has been awarded to the
department for the past year.
Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure
limitation, and therefore expenditure of the revenues is not prohibited by the budget law. The
approval of this funding does not alter the budget constraining expenditures of local revenues
duly adopted by the Board pursuant A.R.S. §42-17105. The overall grant budget will be
adjusted as necessary to accommodate this grant through future budget reconciliation.
Acceptance of this Agreement will not impact the County General Fund.

Approve a Competition Impracticable request to EPS Group, Inc (EPS) for $600,000 to allow
the continuation of Post Design/Construction Admin Service for Vulture Mountain Recreation
Area Phases II and III. Phase II of the project includes landscape improvements, water
infrastructure (well), park buildings (nature center, maintenance building, restrooms, contact
station, wastewater disposal beds), and general site improvements. Phase III encompasses
electrical work, additional park buildings (restrooms, gable shelter, wastewater disposal
beds), and other general improvements.
Parks and Recreation previously requested EPS Group, Inc. submit a modified proposal for
post-design services associated with the Vulture Mountain Recreation Area project, and EPS
began design work on the project under a contract with MCDOT. Parks and Recreation now
requires EPS to provide continued support for P&D permitting efforts, respond to inquiries
related to field conditions and contractor submittals, assist with native plant relocation, and
participate in bi-weekly construction meetings. In order to ensure project continuity and
successful completion, EPS’ continued involvement to finalize this portion of the work is
required. EPS’ ongoing participation is critical to avoid disruption, maintain project
momentum, and ensure that key deliverables and timelines are met.

TERMINATION OF USE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT WITH SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
GOLF, LLC

3-00 between Maricopa County ("County") and Southern California Golf, LLC, a California
limited liability company ("Concessionaire"), for the management, operation, maintenance,
and improvement of the golf course concession located at Paradise Valley Urban Park, as
amended by Amendment One (C-30-11-005-3-01) (“UMA”).
Pursuant to Section 2.10 of the UMA, by mutual agreement, the Parties have determined
that it is in their respective and collective best interests to terminate the UMA as
Concessionaire’s continued operation of the Paradise Valley Golf Course is no longer
sustainable due to unforeseen circumstances.
As part of the Termination:
• As of the effective date of the Termination, each Party agrees to release and hold harmless
the other from any further obligations or liabilities under the Termination; and
• Each Party agrees to bear its own costs related to the Termination.
The effective date of Termination shall be April 30, 2026, to allow the Concessionaire to
complete the current overseed cycle and operate the course through April 2026. The
Concessionaire noted that not doing the overseeding would significantly degrade course
conditions, further limiting sustainability.

#S1998. Ralph is a five-year-old Belgian Malinois.
Over the past few months, Deputy Drummond noticed inconsistencies with Ralph’s level of
clarity and energy. He also noticed Ralph starting to be lethargic at home. Ralph began
overheating during training and deployments and it took approximately 45 minutes for his
body to return to the original internal temperature. Doctor visits revealed that Ralph was
suffering from laryngeal paralysis and recommended Ralph be medically retired. MCSO is
requesting ownership be transferred to Deputy Drummond.
Deputy Drummond has created a strong bond with Ralph as his handler/partner and will
accept full care and financial responsibility for Ralph upon adoption. Deputy Drummond will
be asked to sign the Canine Release and Indemnification.
