In the event of the failure to comply with any condition, and at the time of expiration of the special use permit, the property shall revert 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 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.

SU240016 Page 1 of 11 Report to the Planning and Zoning Commission Prepared by the Maricopa County Planning and Development Department Case: SU240016 – BHSM Rehabilitation/Banner Health Hearing Date: February 6, 2025 Supervisor District: 4 Applicant: Sterling Margetts, Kimley-Horn Owner: Banner Health Request: Special Use Permit (SUP) Major Amendment to amend Z2002133 for a group-care facility in the C-O zoning district Site Location: Generally located at the NWC of Routzahn Way and Shumway Dr. in the Sun City West area Site Size: Approx. 1.74 acres Density: N/A County Island: N/A County Plan: White Tank / Grand Ave – Single Family Transitional Lot (3-5 d.u./ac.) Municipal Plan: N/A Municipal Comments: None received to date Support/Opposition: None Known Recommendation: Approve with conditions SU240016 Page 2 of 11 Project Summary: 1. This request is for a major amendment of zoning case Z02-133; an approved Special Use Permit (SUP) that allowed for a hospice care facility. The applicant is seeking to amend the SUP to allow for the reutilization of the existing hospice center to a physical assisted living/rehabilitation center. The SUP site is comprised of approximately 1.74 acres in the C-O zoning district. The initial SUP was approved by the Board of Supervisors (BOS) on June 4, 2003 with a required status report due at two (2) years and twenty-five (25) year time period after BOS approval. A status report was administratively approved within the two-year time frame. 2. The facility is a 13,975 sq. ft., single story, concrete block building built in 2004 (B200306466) for the use of the hospice center. The building is currently vacant, the previous owner sold the property to Banner Health in 2019 (Deed 20190623092). Banner Health is seeking to use the existing infrastructure for a Neuro Transitional Rehabilitation Center, for individuals with traumatic brain (TBI) or spinal cord injuries, stroke, or other neurological diseases. 3. The center will provide a comfortable environment that will be designed to feel like home. It will provide patients with physical, behavioral and cognitive impairments access to comprehensive therapy in multiple settings. Specialized therapists will help transitional patients regain independent living skills with the goal of safely functioning in their home and community. 4. The center will operate according to the Assisted Living Facilities Licensing requirements with the Arizona Department of Health Services and will be staffed by healthcare professionals, from administrative to specialized medical staff. The center is proposed to operate 24/7 with a 10- patient capacity, with 18 staff members during the day shift and 4-6 staff members during the night shift. Visitors/family members will only be permitted during the hours of 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. or upon special request. 5. The applicant is not proposing any changes to the site other than interior renovations. The site plan is consistent and in substantial conformance with previously approved SUP, case Z2002133. 6. Case Z2002133 approval varied the screening and parking light standards. Under ordinary circumstances, the ordinance requires that a 6’ CMU wall be erected between commercial and rural/residential zoning districts; the approval allows for a 6’ wrought iron-type view fence along the rear property line, adjacent to the golf course. Also, the MCZO requires a maximum height of 18’ for light standards; the existing light fixtures in the parking light have a height of 20’-6”, which was approved in order to be consistent with the area. 7. The site provides 47 parking spaces and four ADA parking spaces, where 56 parking spaces and three ADA parking spaces are required. The applicant does not anticipate the need for additional parking based on the specific operations of the center. The site shares a 40’ driveway from Routzahn Way with the abutting parcel to the southwest, with 20’ encroaching into each parcel, while on the opposite end the existing monument sign is located directly northeast of the driveway. A 25’ x 25’ SVT is impossible to be placed on either side of the driveway without reconfiguration of the driveway and/or removal of the monument sign. Staff notes this neighborhood is acts as a regional medical campus with slow speed limits and wide streets. The screening, lighting height, parking and sight-triangles are the only development standards that have been varied by the SUP. SU240016 Page 3 of 11 2024 Aerial image of the subject site.

Maricopa County “Vision 2030” Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan designates the site within the area of a County Area Plan, the White Tank/Grand Avenue Area Plan. 12. White Tank/Grand Avenue Area Plan (County Area Plan): The County Area Plan identifies the site for Single Family Transitional development with a density of 3-5 d.u./ac. The proposal, as a physical assisted living/rehabilitation center, would not appear to be consistent with this plan; however, the property is also within the Sun City West Master Plan. 13. Sun City West Master Plan (DMP): The DMP designates this area for development of medical offices, hospital, and extended care facilities. The proposed SUP for a physical assisted living/rehabilitation center is consistent with the DMP’s designation. Public Participation Summary: 14. The applicant complied with all the necessary public participation requirements according to 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 and staff regarding the Special Use Permit Amendment request. To date, no opposition has been received. Outstanding Concerns from Reviewing Agencies: 15. Staff has not received any comments from reviewing agencies. Staff Analysis: 16. The use as a physical assisted living/rehabilitation center for a Neuro Transitional Rehabilitation Center is compatible with the general land use pattern in the area, which consist largely of medical facilities and related businesses. The proposed use will operate similar to the hospice use (hours of operation, staffing, visitor hours, providing medical care), staff research found no open violations/complaints for the site. Due to the similarities of the previous use and the proposed use it would seem to be appropriate for the area; therefore, staff does not have any objections to the major amendment of SUP case Z2002133. 17. Staff is supportive of the request and finds that the proposed use would be compatible with the regional medical campus nature of the surrounding area and will continue to be in conformance with the previously approved site plan and narrative. Staff, therefore, is recommending approval for the reasons noted above. 18. The conditions recommended by staff remain identical to the conditions approved by the BOS under Z2002133 with some modifications outlined below, and with modified conditions relabeled: • Condition ‘a’ and ‘c’ would be modified based on this applications site plan and narrative and to create a consolidated set. • Condition ‘d’ was added to condition the varied standards under this SUP • Condition ‘e’ sets an expiration date of 30 years for the original SUP approval which is set to expire in 2033, staff beliefs the use is harmonious with the neighborhood and is comfortable with granting the SUP absent any expiration date. Therefore condition ‘e’ is no longer needed. SU240016 Page 6 of 11 modified to set a 30-year expiration date for the new use of a physical assisted living/rehabilitation center. • Condition ‘f’ was added to provide updated conditions of approval from engineering. • Condition ‘g’ required a status report 2 years and 25 years after original approval by the BOS. Staff approved the 2-year status report; and finds an additional status reports are not needed. • Conditions ‘h’ and ‘i’ are no longer needed – they required additional approvals and review prior to the initial development of the site, which was obtained under building permit B200306466. • Conditions ‘j’ and ‘r’ are modified to be consistent with updated language to the amended SUP. • Condition ‘o’ requires the site to be in compliance to case Z 88-76 which was a rezone from Rural-43 to C-O; and seem unnecessary. The site will remain subject to regulations of the C-O zoning district as amended by this SUP. • Condition ‘s’ and ‘t’ have been added to be consistent with updated language to current SUP conditions of approval a.

Jefferson Street, Suite 170 Phoenix, Arizona 8500 Page 2 kimley-horn.com 1001 West Southern Avenue, Suite 131, Mesa, AZ 85210 480 207 2666 PURPOSE OF REQUEST BHSM Rehabilitation LLC (Property Owner) & Select Medical (Developer) and Kimley-Horn (applicant) has prepared this submittal for the Maricopa County Planning & Development Department to apply for a Special Use Permit (SUP) for the BHSM Rehabilitation/ Banner Health project which proposes an amendment to SUP Case No. Z02-133 to allow for the reutilization of an existing hospice center to a physical assisted living / rehabilitation center (i.e. Neuro Transitional Center). DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL BHSM Rehabilitation LLC & Select Medical are submitting this application to amend SUP Z02-133 which proposes changing the existing use of the site from a Hospice Home Group facility to a Neuro Transitional Rehabilitation Center that is tailored to individuals with traumatic brain (TBI) or spinal cord injuries, stroke or other neurological diseases. Neuro Transitional Centers provide a unique, comfortable environment designed to feel like home. It gives patients with physical, behavioral and cognitive impairments access to comprehensive therapy in multiple settings. Specialized therapists help transitional patients regain their independent living skills with the goal of safely functioning in their home and community. This Center will operate according to the Assisted Living Facility licensure requirements with a staff of healthcare professional consisting of administrators, managers, specialized therapists, speech- language pathologists, nurses, counselors, case managers, neuropsychologists, dieticians, direct care staff, and behavior analysts. The facility will operate 24/7 with a 10-patient capacity, a daytime staff of up to 18 and a nighttime staff of 4-6. Visitors will be permitted from 8 a.m. ± 8 p.m. and on other times by special request. With the SUP and the associated Plan of Development, the proposed interior renovations will be designed in such a way to provide an optimal environment for care and recovery with exterior fencing to provide security and screening to the adjacent properties and uses, matching the existing site plan. SITE DESCRIPTION The 76,223 sq ft site is currently not in use, but it previously served as a hospice center. The building itself is 13,975 sq ft., is single story of concrete block construction built in 2004. It was initially built and owned by Sun Health Corp/Sun Health Services and sold to Banner Health in 2019. The existing landscape is low water use, native plants but is in need of maintenance. PARKING AMENDMENT There are currently 51 existing parking spots including 4 ADA spots on the site. Based on the building square footage, county requirements call for 54 parking spots. Along with the special use permit, an amendment reducing the required parking to 38 spots is requested based on the how this specific proposed rehabilitation center will operate. Though the requested amendment calls for 38 parking spots, the site would remain unchanged, utilize the existing 51 parking spots. RELATIONSHIP TO SURROUNDING PROPERTIES The areas immediately to the east, west and south of the proposed center are zoned C-O SUP and are used for medical office purposes. The Banner Del Webb Medical Center is located approximately 1/4 mile to the south-west. The proposed Neuro Transitional Center site is currently and will continue Page 3 kimley-horn.com 1001 West Southern Avenue, Suite 131, Mesa, AZ 85210 480 207 2666 to be part of the larger Banner Del Webb Medical Center Campus. Immediately to the north is a portion of the Grandview Golf Course zoned RU-43 that provides a 300¶ buffer between residential areas and the existing facility. The amendment proposes minor exterior changes and retains the medical / assisted living use and therefore will have no additional impact to the surrounding community. LOCATION AND ACCESSIBILITY The property is located at 19702 North Routzahn Way, Sun City West which is accessible off W Granite Valley Dr and is close to major transportation corridors. Access to W Grand Ave/60 is a half mile to the southwest which feeds into to AZ Loop 303 two miles to the northwest. CIRCULATION SYSTEM No other proposed circulation improvements or dedications are included as part of this Special Use Permit request. DEVELOPMENT SCHEDULE The development of the project will proceed upon approval of the Special Use Permit and the Construction documents for the interior modifications.
