Case #/Title:
SU240008 – Keith Storage Yard
Supervisor District:
1
Applicant/Owner:
Brennan Ray, Ray Law Firm / Keith Family Trust
Request:
Special Use Permit (SUP) for interim industrial use, storage yard in
the Rural-43 zoning district
Site Location:
Generally located 860’ west of the NWC of San Tan Blvd. and Recker
Rd. in the Chandler Heights area
Site Size:
Approximately 1.8 acres
County Island Status:
Yes, Town of Gilbert
Additional
Comments:
Approval of this item would allow for the permitting of a trash
compaction business via Special Use Permit, Smash My Trash, on
a Rural-43 zoned site in the Chandler Heights area. The site is
currently subject to violation V2400016 for commercial business
operation in a Rural zoning district without proper zoning
entitlement. No trash compaction or trash storage would occur on-
site. No cleaning of waste-bins would occur on-site. The only use of
the site would be the storage of trucks and cleaned garbage bins
related to the business. There are six letters of support largely from
the west, and three letters of opposition largely from the east. The
support letters generally talk about the business being a good
neighbor with little disturbance arising from site operations. The
opposition refers to concerns over noise generated by site
operations and traffic on the east easement leading into the subject
and neighboring properties. The support/opposition map is
attached. A super-majority vote has not been triggered as the total
parcels opposed to this project is less than 14%, less than the
required 20% for such a vote. There are no outstanding concerns
from reviewing agencies.
Prior to the hearing, staff and the applicant conferred on changes
to conditions ‘j’ and ‘l’. Changes to these conditions were included
as part of a handout memo that was presented to the commission.

accordance with the requirements and procedures as set forth in the Maricopa County
Zoning Ordinance.
o.
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 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, 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 a Special Use Permit (SUP) for an interim industrial storage yard for
vehicles and materials related to a trash compaction business, Smash My Trash. The site is
located on the north side of San Tan Blvd. west of Recker Rd. in the Chandler Heights area. It is
within the Town of Gilbert’s municipal planning area. The site is currently subject to violation
V2400016 for commercial business operation in a Rural zoning district without proper zoning
entitlement.
2.
Historic aerials indicate the parcel part of a citrus groves until the existing home was constructed
circa 1996. An accessory garage was constructed in 2024 via permit B202401415. Shortly after
passing a June 2024 final inspection, there was complaint of commercial vehicles being stored
in the garage. The zoning violation was verified, and the property owner entered into a compliance
agreement in August 2024. Compliance will require either ceasing and desisting the use or
obtaining approval of proper zoning entitlement and completing any associated construction
permits. The subject case is an administrative remedy for the violation.
3.
Smash My Trash is a mobile dumpster compacting business; compaction trucks travel to
customer locations whereupon they compact waste materials. The trucks would then take the
empty refuse bins back to the subject site or transfer them to a different worksite. No waste
materials are stored on site including in bins or trucks. No compaction occurs on site. No cleaning
of trucks or waste bins occur on site. In total, seven trucks would be stored on-site, with six being
parked in the garage and one in an outside space beside the garage. The existing residential
structures would be utilized as office space for the business. The trucking aspect of the site
would take place from 6:00 am to 4:00 pm weekdays while the office would remain open from
7:00 am to 5:00 pm weekdays. Per the applicant, over a dozen community members are employed
by the business.
4.
Staff would note that MCZO Art, 501.2.10 allows for home-based businesses by-right in a Rural
zoning district but the subject operation exceeds the ordinance parameters (number of
employees on site, number of vehicles used in commerce, height of screening, etc.) thus an SUP
is required.
5.
The site and surrounding area is zoned Rural-43 for rural residential and agricultural development.
Home-based businesses are common occurrences in rural residential neighborhoods and there
appear to be home-based businesses in the surrounding neighborhood.
6.
The table on the next page shows the applicant proposed variations with the SUP.

located in these areas.
Public Participation Summary:
11.
The applicant complied with the minimum required public participation requirements per MCZO
Section 304, including notification of property owners within 300’ of the subject site and posting
of the site. Registered areas of interest were contacted by the applicant. As of this report, staff
has received six letters of support and two letters of opposition, along with a letter of concern
provided by the Town of Gilbert.
12.
The support letters consist of several neighbors. They speak to the business generally being a
good neighbor with little disturbance arising from site operations. A few of these letters also
speak to approval of general improvements the applicant has undertaken for the site in
comparison to the prior owner.
13.
The Town of Gilbert provided a letter expressing concerns regarding the proposed use. They note
the use, as an industrial use, would not be allowed under the equivalent Town of Gilbert zoning.
The Town notes that approving the use would cause issues if the site ever were to be annexed,
and that the use would cause issues relating to traffic and quality-of-life for residents within the
Town’s jurisdiction. Furthermore, staff received two opposition letters from neighbors expressing
disturbance from noise generated by site operations and concerns with traffic.

Outstanding Concerns from Reviewing Agencies:
14.
N/A
Staff Analysis:
15.
The requested SUP would allow the property owner to park and store empty and clean trucks and
refuse bins associated with the business. On-site assembly of bins would be limited to the
installation of doors on prefabricated bins. To that end, staff’s recommended SUP standards
differ from those proposed by the applicant. All business storage should take place as far away
from San Tan Blvd as possible limited to the rear of the lot adjacent to and behind the existing
residence. Six trucks would need to be parked in the enclosed garage with one allowed in the
designated parking spot as shown on the site plan. Commercial access to the site is limited to
the west driveway unless and until documentation is provided that the easement along the east
will permit commercial traffic. Staff would note that the current screening, consisting of a
wrought-iron fence, would be modified to include a privacy mesh for visual screening along the
perimeter and between the business storage in the rear of the lot and at the front of the property.
Further, truck traffic would be limited between 6am and 4pm – all business operations would
cease at 5pm daily. To control potential odors all trucks and bins stored on the property must be
empty of waste and clean. The screening and limitations are intended to ensure the business
operation remains consistent with the rural residential character of the neighborhood.
16.
Staff notes that the applicant has applied for an Interim Industrial Use SUP rather than a Cottage
Industry SUP. The latter category is a home-based business that requires the proprietor to reside
on the property. However, the former by ordinance limits the SUP entitlement to a maximum of
ten years. If the Commission believes the SUP appropriate then you may wish to consider a
shorter duration (staff’s suggested conditions include a five-year SUP) and/or an annual status
report. This affords the applicant chance to prove the use can be a good neighbor prior to grant
of any longer term zoning entitlement.
Recommendation:
17.
Staff recommends the Commission adopt a motion recommending that the Board of Supervisors
approve SU240008 subject to the following conditions ‘a’ – ‘o’:
a.
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Site Plan entitled
“16442 E. San Tan Blvd“, consisting of 1 full-size sheet, dated March 19, 2025 except as
modified by the following conditions.
b.
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Narrative Report
entitled “Special Use Permit – Interim Industrial Narrative Report for Keith Storage Yard”,
consisting of 6 pages, dated March 19, 2025, except as modified by the following
conditions.
c.
This special use permit is valid for a period of 5 years and shall expire on May 7, 2030, or

Submitted: August 7, 2024

Updated: March 19, 2025
PURPOSE OF REQUEST
This request is for a Special Use Permit (“SUP”) for an interim industrial use pursuant to
section 1301.1.22 of the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance at a site located at 17442 E San
Tan Boulevard (the “Site”). An Aerial is attached as Exhibit 1. We request this SUP for interim
industrial uses to utilize the Site for a limited-use storage yard. This Site is currently subject to
violation V2400016.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL
The purpose of this request is to allow the Site to continue to be utilized as both a single-
family residence, an office, and limited-use storage yard for a mobile (off-site) trash compacting
service.
The Site is used to park the mobile dumpster compactor and temporarily store empty
refuse bins in specified locations until they are taken for use at a customer’s location. There
are 7 trucks in total, six are parked in a garage at the rear of the Site and in an enclosed garage,
and one truck is parked in a designated parking space next to the garage. Prefabricated, empty
refuse bins are occasionally delivered to the Site as needed where the only assembly required
is to place doors on them. The mobile refuse compaction trucks perform their work at the
customer’s location and not at the Site. When the customer is done using the bins at their
location, the bins are transferred to another customer’s location or temporality returned empty
to the Site. No commercial refuse is compacted or stored on the Site.
A mobile dumpster compactor works by compressing and compacting waste inside
open-top dumpsters with the assistance of a large, rotating drum. Off-site mobile waste
compaction services bring dumpster compactors to the customer’s location which allows
compaction services to take place almost anywhere the client needs. This service can save
customers an incredible amount of money by being able to fit more waste in the bins due to
compaction at the location and less trips to the dump due to the larger bin size. These services
and cost savings are essential to many local businesses and reduce the number of trips on the
roads.
The business operations are as follows:
• Trucks exit the property between 6:00 am and 8:00 am according to the customer’s
needs.
• On-Site work, when necessary, involves placing doors on the prefabricated refuse bins
and temporarily storing them on the Site until taken to a customer’s location.
• No operations that cause negative emissions or excessive noise occur on-site.
• The trucks return to the Site and stored by approximately 3:00 pm in designated
locations.
• All business operations on the Site, except for office work that occurs inside the
residence, cease at 4:00 pm.
• Office operations typically occur between 7:00 am and 5:00 pm.

My name Ed Black and I live at 17409 E Chestnut, Queen Creek AZ 85142. I saw the signs about the Special Use Permit for 17442 E San Tan
Blvd CASE: SU240008. My neighbors and myself have all gotten to know everyone at the 17442 E San Tan address over the last few
months.
I am 100% aware of their use of the property and I think it is great.
To be honest we like the improvements to the property as it was not kept up well previously. Their new gates are nice. They don’t work in
the evenings or on the weekends.
I am 100% ok with their application for a Special Use Permit.
I have been in the garbage industry for 30 years and they run a good shop. They just use the property to store trucks.
Thank you,
Ed Black

To whom it may concern:
This email is referencing Case # SU240008, Which is an application for a special use permit concerning
the property at 17442 E San Tan Blvd, Queen Creek, AZ 85142, owned by Mr. Patrick Kardasz.
My name is Richard W Maus. I own and reside at 17432 E San Tan Blvd. My property borders the full
western side of Mr. Kardasz property. No one shares more linear boundary with him than I. Since his arrival I
have noticed a great improvement and upgrading to the property. The investing of attractive landscaping,
remodeling the existing house and adding a new building has given the entire lot a fresh new curb appeal which is
beautifying to our neighborhood as well as protecting all of our property values.
I am his closest neighbor. As far as I can tell, no business is being conducted or transacted on his
property. There has never been any excessively loud noises which bothered me or discernible unpleasant aromas
that offended me nor bright nighttime yard lights that irritated me. He has shown nothing but a willingness to be
part of our growing community. All in all, I couldn’t ask for a better neighbor.
I fully support his request for this permit along with all the other neighbors I have talked with.

Joel Landis (PND) <Joel.Landis@maricopa.gov>
Dear Members of the Maricopa County Zoning Board,
I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed zoning change/SPECIAL USE PERMIT
REQUEST for 17442 E. San Tan Boulevard. As a resident and concerned neighbor, I am deeply troubled by
the potential impacts this change will have on our neighborhood. Our community is designed to be a peaceful
residential area, not one that accommodates businesses, and I firmly believe that allowing this change would
harm the quality of life for those who call this place home.
One of my primary concerns is that the property has not been used as it was initially intended—as a storage
yard. Instead, it has been operated as a working yard for activities that are completely unsuitable for a residential
area. The property is currently used for managing and maintaining Red Box dumpsters and trash compactors,
and loud equipment is frequently operated there. With this comes the inevitable increase in noise. Our
neighborhood is known for its quiet, family-friendly atmosphere, where residents can enjoy their homes and
outdoor spaces without the disruptions that come with commercial activity. Businesses bring noise—from
increased vehicle traffic to the daily operations required to run a commercial space. Such disturbances are
entirely out of place in a residential area and would quickly erode the peace we have here.
In addition to noise, I am concerned about increased traffic. More traffic will create significant congestion and
potentially dangerous situations for our community. Our streets are not designed to handle high volumes of cars,
especially those driven by people unfamiliar with the area, and I fear for the safety of our pedestrians, children,
cyclists and animals. Further, additional traffic inevitably brings more wear and tear on our infrastructure,
leading to future maintenance issues and additional costs to the county or taxpayers.
The approval of this zoning change also sets a concerning precedent for further development that may not align
with the character of our neighborhood. Once a commercial zoning change is allowed, it often opens the door for
additional requests. This can lead to a slippery slope, where other businesses look to capitalize on our residential
space, further eroding the unique community we have worked hard to build and maintain.
I strongly urge you to consider the long-term impacts of this decision. Our neighborhood is not equipped to
handle commercial operations, and the disruption this change would bring far outweighs any potential benefits. I
kindly request that the Board uphold the current zoning, respecting the character and integrity of our residential
community.
Thank you for considering my concerns. I trust that you will make the best decision to preserve the quality of
life and harmony in our neighborhood.
Sincerely,
Mailyn Pacheco

Report
Caution! This message was sent from outside your organization.
Good Afternoon,
This is regarding the Special Use Permit Request for 17442 E San Tan BL, Case
SU240008.
This request is being made a little too late, as the property has been used as a
commercial business location/storage lot, since the day the new owners of
Smashtruck have purchased the property. I have attached photos I took this
afternoon. Usually, the Smash Trucks are parked on site. It seems they may be
trying to change the view of the property for the purpose of the application.
The research I have conducted is this type of commercial business could not be
permitted by Maricopa County Zoning for this residential R-43 Zoning District. And,
the property is not occupied by the owner of record, or any person, for that matter.
In fact, when the owners did introduce themselves, as Michael, stated the property
was going to "be used as a temporary storage location until a storage yard was to be
located and he or his brother were going to live at the property."
I am a neighbor who is opposed to the Special Use Permit being approved.

Keith Storage Yard opposition- CASE# SU240008

Joel Landis (PND) <Joel.Landis@maricopa.gov>

Dear Maricopa County Planning and Zoning Commission,
We are writing to express strong opposition to the proposed storage yard that is planned next to
our residential property. We share a property line and driveway with the property of discussion.
We have significant concerns about the impact Keith Storage Yard will have on our community/
neighborhood.
First and foremost, the introduction of an industrial storage yard in a residential /rural
neighborhood has lead to increased noise. The constant movement and sounds of large
industrial vehicles and equipment, along with the dropping / stacking of the large red dumpster
bins is quite unsettling. We don't need to speculate as to the noise this will create- as we
already know from the movements and work they conduct there already. We cannot imagine
this continuing or becoming more frequent if this gets approved. We chose this property over 2
years ago for many reasons- none of which to be near an incoming industrial storage yard. The
Chandler Heights Citrus Irrigation District community is quite an ecclectic area of homes and
farm animals! The semi rural area is home to large residential parcels and variety of animals.
Industrial sites and sounds isn't what we need this close to a school and quiet neighborhoods.
We don't own farm animals yet, but I know how the sounds of the booms and beeping bother
us, I cannot imagine how the animals get startled too.
Our windows shake and the very loud booms scare/ startle us. It is not a noise that can be
ignored. This noise is created by moving and stacking the large dumpster bins on their property.
We enjoyed the peace and quiet that our area provided along with the mountain views. Our
view has since been obstructed from the large building created to store the big vehicles. We
can no longer sit on our porch swing & patio and gaze at the mountain. The beeping and
booming sounds are disruptive as mentioned.
Additionally, the presence of a storage yard can negatively affect the aesthetic appeal of the
area. Our neighborhood is known for its well-maintained homes and pleasant surroundings. The
operation of a storage yard will detract from the visual appeal of the community, potentially
lowering property values and discouraging new families from moving into the area.
We urge you to not allow the storage yard. We hope they can find a new location away from our
residential area to conduct this part of their business. In our opinion, their request would be
better suited in an area that already has industrial business surrounding them. Not in our
community! We like to support local business, but we cannot support these changes. Protecting
the well-being and quality of life for our community members should be a priority in your
decision.
Thank you for taking our concerns into account.
Sincerely,
Dennis and Devoney Kelash
