Case #/Title:
PD240004 – 191st and Jomax
Supervisor District:
4
Applicant/Owner:
Mike Prefling, P.E./ Curt Lyon
Request:
Plan of Development for an RV/boat storage facility within the
Rural-43 MAAMF WHSC and Rural–43 WHSC zoning districts
Site Location:
Generally located at the NEC of Jomax Rd. and 191st Ave. in the
Wittmann area
Site Size:
Approximately 8.32 acres
County Island Status:
N/A
Additional
Comments:
The Plan of Development (PD) for an RV/boat storage facility is
associated with and has zoning entitlement from previous
legislative approvals of military compatibility permit MCP2010001
and special use permit Z2008021 respectively within the Rural-43
MAAMF WHSC and Rural–43 WHSC zoning districts. Per Arizona
Revised Statutes the proposed land use has been deemed to be
compatible and consistent with the high noise or accident potential
zone of a Military Airport or Ancillary Military Facility. The PD meets
all technical zoning district requirements. It requires legislative
approval because a portion of the site is within the MAAMF zoning
overlay. LAFB indicated no concern over the proposal, requesting
that the proposed office and caretaker’s quarters are not placed
within the MAAMF portion of the site. The applicant has complied
with this request. There are no outstanding concerns from
reviewing agencies. There is no known opposition.
Commission
Recommendation:
On 1/23/25, the Commission, by a vote of 4-0 (motion by
Commissioner Montoya D5, seconded by Commissioner Curley
D3), adopted a motion to Approve PD240004 subject to conditions
‘a’ – ‘h’:
February 26, 2025
PD240004
Page 2 of 3
a.
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Site Plan entitled
“26631 N 191st Ave – RV Resort“, consisting of 2 full-size sheets, dated December 9, 2024
and stamped received December 9, 2024, 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 “191st and Jomax RV Storage”, consisting of 3 pages, dated October 3, 2024 and
stamped received October 3, 2024, except as modified by the following conditions.
c.
All buildings subject to noise attenuation as per ARS § 28-8482(B).
d.
Overnight occupation of RVs or other vehicles on site is prohibited.
e.
The following Planning Engineering conditions shall apply:
1. Ultimate half-width improvements along 191st Avenue including curb, gutter
and sidewalk must be constructed with site building permit per RDM Figure
5.11
2. 37-feet of pavement (centerline to face of curb) shall be provided along Jomax Road.
3. Proposed driveways shall meet commercial and industrial driveway standards per
the latest MCDOT Roadway Design Manual (RDM) Section 7.6.3.
4. Gated access shall provide adequate turn around area so that vehicles will not
back onto public roads.
5. Plans submitted for Building Permits must clearly show how all runoff is routed to the
retention basins. Retention basins must de-water within 36-hours.
6. Engineering review of planning and/or zoning cases is for conceptual design only. 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.
7. Based on the conceptual design nature of the information submitted, changes to the
site layout may be necessitated by the final engineering design of the drainage
infrastructure.
8. Detailed Grading and Drainage (Infrastructure) Plans must be submitted with the
application for Building Permits
f.
As per Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance Article 1010.7.22 the Plan of Development (PD)
is valid for two years after approval. Prior to expiration, a one-time extension may be
requested via a minor amendment for one additional year. Upon expiration a new PD will
be required to be submitted.
g.
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.
h.
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
February 26, 2025
PD240004
Page 3 of 3
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 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 Plan of Development. The
Plan of Development enhances the value of the property above its value as of the date the
Plan of Development is granted and reverting to the prior zoning results in the same value
of the property as if the Plan of Development had never been granted.

Project Summary:
1.
The applicant is seeking to establish a Plan of Development (PD) for boats, RVs, and trucks as an
outdoor storage facility. The site straddles two zoning districts: Rural-43 MAAMF (65 Ldn) WHSC
(Class I) on the western two-thirds and Rural–43 WHSC (Class I) on the eastern third. The site
has proper entitlements in place via Military Compatibility Permit MCP2010001 and Special Use
Permit Z2008021. The PD will allow for long term outdoor vehicle storage along with an office
with caretaker’s quarters. The proposed PD requires legislative approval per ordinance because
a portion of it is within the MAAMF which is a high noise and accident potential zone of a military
airbase ancillary facility.
2.
The site gained initial zoning entitlement and PD approval about fifteen years ago. On April 28,
2010, the Board of Supervisors approved a Military Compatibility Permit with PD (MCP2010001)
over the western portion of the site and a Special Use Permit (Z2008021) over the eastern portion
of the site. The approved plans included a self-storage facility along with outdoor vehicle storage.
On May 14, 2024, staff held preapplication meeting PA2024076 with the applicant. Since PDs are
only valid from two years after initial approval (MCZO article 1010.7.22) and the site design no
longer included the mini-storage component new PD approval is required. While the new site plan
could have been subject to two separate cases – a PD over the portion of the site within the
MAAMF and a SUP amendment over the SUP portion of the site – staff offered the applicant to
submit a singular PD over the entire site. This simplified and streamlined the process, avoiding
an awkward situation where a portion of the site was subject to an administrative approval and a
portion required legislative approval. Additionally, staff informed the applicant that condition “o”
of Z2008021 imposed a 20-year time limit on the approved SUP, which expires on April 28, 2030.
Staff recommended that this condition be amended to allow the site to operate beyond 2030.
The applicant has not yet applied for a SUP modification of conditions for Z2008021. Unless
such a request is approved by the BOS all operations on the SUP portion of the site will need to
cease on April 28, 2030. On July 1, 2024, the applicant formally submitted the subject PD. A
Technical Advisory Committee meeting was held on September 3, 2024.
3.
The site will consist of 498 storage stalls with direct access to both Jomax Rd. and 191st Ave.
The site will be screened via an eight-foot-tall block wall. The site will be open for self-service
seven days a week 6:00 am to 9:00 PM. The facility will have an employee on site Monday through
Friday 10:00 am to 12:00 am (14 hours per day). There will be one two story structure on the site.
800 sq. ft. will be dedicated to an office and other 800 sq. ft. will serve as a caretaker’s quarters.
This building is located within the SUP portion of the site and is not within the MAAMF overlay.
The site includes five personal vehicle parking stalls, including one ADA stall.

Adopted Plans:
6.
White Tank Grand Ave Area Plan (adopted December 6, 2023): The area plan calls for the subject
site to develop in a manor compatible with Luke Air Force Base operations. The site has a
previously approved MCP that allows for the proposed storage operations. Additionally, LAFB
provided comment on the current proposed PD that there is no concern if the caretaker’s quarters
remain outside of the MAAMF boundary, as it is depicted on the site plan.
7.
Surprise 2040 General Plan (adopted July 30, 2024): The general plan denotes the site for
Employment, which it describes as an area reserved for large scale phased development of
industrial and business park type uses that support the surrounding areas.
Public Participation Summary:
8.
The applicant satisfied all statutory requirements by sending notification out to property owners
within 300’ of the site, identified parties registered as an area of interest, and all jurisdictions,
organizations, and agencies identified by staff, along with two site postings. The applicant
reported no interactions from the public. Similarly, staff has not received any opposition as of
the publication of this report. Luke Air Force Base did provide comment, stating they have no
concern over the proposed PD given the caretaker’s quarters remains outside of the MAAMF
boundary.
Outstanding Concerns from Reviewing Agencies:
9.
N/A.
Staff Analysis:
10.
The proposed PD is aligned with both the White Tank Grand Ave Area Plan and the Surprise
General Plan and matches existing and expected land use patterns in the area. The low frequency
of customers on the site and limited improvements needed for the use are compatible with LAFB
operations. Additionally, the site is adequately screened and complies with all applicable zoning
requirements. As such, staff is supportive of the proposed outdoor storage facility.
Recommendation:
11.
Staff recommends the Commission adopt a motion recommending that the Board of Supervisors
approve PD240004 subject to the following conditions ‘a’ – ‘h’:
a.
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Site Plan entitled
“26631 N 191st Ave – RV Resort“, consisting of 2 full-size sheets, dated December 9, 2024
and stamped received December 9, 2024, except as modified by the following conditions.
Staff may determine slight refinements to remain in substantial conformance with the
PD240004

4435 E. Chandler Blvd, Suite 200
Phoenix, AZ 85048
Applicant Introduction – My name is Michael Prefling and I am representing the 191st and
Jomax ownership team who is wanting to develop this site into outdoor storage facility for RVs
boats and trucks. The site is located at the NE corner of N 191st Ave and W Jomax Rd. I am a
licensed civil engineer here in Phoenix and will be preparing most of the documents for the
initial preliminary submittals as well as final permit and construction documents.
Description of Business Establishment – The site is intended to be developed into an outdoor
RV, boat, and truck storage facility. The proposed facility access will be self-serve between
the hours of 6AM and 9PM seven days a week. The facility will be manned and on site
Monday – Friday 10AM to 12PM. The one employee will maintain the site. Access, both
ingress and egress is via two security coded gates. One off of 191st and one off of Jomax. A
two story office building with living quarters will accommodate an overnight caretaker. The
property is currently vacant.
The property is currently vacant with proposed paved surfacing, as MCZO Article 1102.7.1
requires paved parking for non-residential uses. An office structure of pre-engineered steel
will be constructed. A block wall will enclose the perimeter of the facility. An on-site septic
system will serve the office. The site capacity will be 498 storage spaces. The entry sign will
meet County requirements. Per the narrative, the proposal will complement the residential
development in the surrounding areas.
Purpose of Request – Special use permit to develop the 8.3 acre site into an outdoor RV, boat,
and truck storage facility.
Existing/Past Zoning Cases – A preliminary application was submitted and is referenced by
PA2024076
Owner Information – The owners of this development and business will be Curt Lyon and Josh
Gowan. Mr. Lyon and Mr. Gowan are family members and have been working development of
this site since 2010.
Relationship to Adjacent Properties – This site is bordered by 191st Ave on the west, and W
Jomax Rd on the south. There is are existing mostly vacant RU-43 properties to the east and
north.
Benefit to community/area – Reviewing historical assessor site images this site has been vacant
for over 20 years. This RV storage development will be a low impact to this relatively non-
developed area of Maricopa/Wittman.
Location and Accessibility – This site is at the NW corner of 191st Ave and Jomax. There is
accessibility off both Jomax and 191st. The site is also 3000 feet west of Grand Avenue
accessible from Jomax Road.
Circulation System – Two new gated access drive entrances are being proposed. One off of
191st and one off of Jomax Rd.
Community Facilities and Services –
Schools: This site is within the “Nadaburg Unified” public school district. There are no
schools within 5 miles of this site.
Parks: There are no parks within 10 miles of this site.
Amenities: The site and the area are mostly undeveloped. There are no amenities in
the area.
Development Schedule –This Plan of Development process is estimated to take 5 months.
The goal for final design and permit document submittals to the County and City of Phoenix is
scheduled for early January 2025, with construction starting in March of 2025.
Public Utilities and Services –
Water – Hauled in
Wastewater – Septic
Fire – North County Fire and Medical District
Police - MCSO
A permanent restroom facility will be provided for patrons of the business. Potable water will
be provided via an existing water well that exists on the site. This well is currently being
repaired and certified to ensure that it meets the public water supply requirements as outlined
by MCESD. The office and care taker’s residence will have sanitary service via an onsite septic
system.
There is no County or City sanitary service available to this site. The office and care taker’s
residence will have sanitary service via a new onsite septic system.
Citizen Participation Summary – The applicant will comply with the Maricopa County Citizen
Review Process with the required posting of the site and notification by first class mail to
adjacent property owners within 300’ of the subject parcel and interested parties.

Future classification of Jomax Road is urban
minor arterial. Due to limited site frontage and
non‐existence of roadway facilities such as
curb, gutter, sidewalk, bike lanes etc., along
this roadway that are typical of a arterial
roadway, no curb, gutter, sidewalk, two‐way
center lane are required by the developer on
their site frontage. However, provide 37 feet
of pavement (centerline to face of curb)
required for future roadway construction
along Jomax Road. Refer to RDM Figure 5.9 for

RE: PD24004; RV, Boat and Truck Storage 191st and Jomax (APN: 503-51-080M)
Dear Mr. Mueller
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the plan of development application for the
RV, Boat and Truck Storage at 191st and Jomax Rd. In addition to the outdoor storage space,
there is a proposed 2-story building designed for an office and living quarters which will
accommodate an overnight caretaker.
The site sits on approximately 8.3 acres and is located at the northeast corner of 191st
Avenue and Jomax Road in unincorporated Maricopa County, AZ. The site is located partially
inside the Luke AFB Aux-1 2004 JLUS 65 DNL, “high noise or accident potential zone,” as
identified by A.R.S. § 28-8461, and is within the “territory in the vicinity of a military airport,”
also defined by A.R.S. § 28-8461.
Luke AFB follows A.R.S. § 28-8481 when evaluating compatible land use within the
“territory in the vicinity of a military airport” and we consider the proposed RV, Boat and Truck
Storage on APN 503-51-080M to be compatible and consistent with the high noise or accident
potential of the military airport or ancillary military facility, subject to the following condition:
.
The 2-story building which will contain the living quarters remains outside of the
Aux-1 2004 JLUS 65 DNL, “high noise or accident potential zone” (please see parcel
map).
Since the development will be located within the “territory in the vicinity of a military
airport,” it will be subjected to approximately 170 over flights a day. We recommend you
review the sound attenuation requirements found in A.R.S. § 28-8482. A strong notification
program on the part of the applicant is essential to inform potential occupant(s) about Luke AFB
operations.
If applicable, it should be noted that certain investments and real estate transactions
within the military installation footprint of Luke AFB may be subject to review by the
Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) to determine the effect of such
transactions on the national security of the United States. The CFIUS regulations, Foreign
Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (FIRRMA) provisions, and related
resources can be found on the Department of the Treasury’s website:
http://www.treasury.gov/cfius.

Re: Review of the 191st and Jomax RV Storage Facility (PD24004)
Dear Mr. Mueller:
The Arizona Game and Fish Department (Department) reviewed your Project Evaluation
Request dated July 24, 2024, regarding the construction of a new RV, boat, and truck storage
facility on 8.32 acres of Sonoran desert scrub near Wittman, Arizona. Based on the information
provided, the Department offers the following general recommendations:
●
Suitable habitat for the western burrowing owl, a special status species that is regulated
under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA), may be present within the vicinity of the
project. If an active burrowing owl burrow is detected, please contact the Department and
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for direction, in accordance with the Burrowing Owl
1
Project Clearance Guidance for Landowners .
2
●
Minimize the potential introduction or spread of exotic invasive species, including
aquatic and terrestrial plants, animals, insects and pathogens. Precautions should be taken
to wash and/or decontaminate all equipment utilized in the project activities before
entering and leaving the site. Please review the Arizona Department of Agriculture’s
website for a list of prohibited and restricted noxious weeds and the Arizona Native
3
Plant Society for recommendations on control methods. To view a list of documented
4
invasive species or to report invasive species in or near your project area visit
iMapInvasives - a national cloud-based application for tracking and managing invasive
5
species.
●
If trenching will occur, trenching and backfilling crews should be close together to
minimize the amount of open trenches at any given time. Avoid leaving trenches open
overnight. Where trenches cannot be back-filled immediately, escape ramps should be
constructed at least every 90 meters. Escape ramps can be short lateral trenches or

wooden planks sloping to the surface. The slope should be less than 45 degrees (1:1).
Trenches that have been left open overnight should be inspected and animals removed
prior to backfilling.
The Department appreciates the opportunity to provide an evaluation of impacts to wildlife or
wildlife habitats associated with the 191st and Jomax RV Storage Facility (PD24004) project. If
you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact me at (623) 236-7618 and visit our

Good afternoon,
We received a request of a plan of development for a proposed RV, Boat, and Truck storage over 8.32 acres in the
Wittmann area. The property is partially within the LDN 65 noise contour and subject to the MAAMF zoning overlay,
which requires legislative approval of the Plan of Development. The subject property has proper entitlement to allow
the proposed uses via Military Compatibility Permit MCP2010001 and Special Use Permit Z2008021. The proposed POD
covers both entitlement portions of the site and will supersede the POD established by these cases.
The TAC for the case will be held on 9/3/24.
Please let me know if you have any comments, questions, or concerns.
Thank you!
Kind regards,
Joseph Mueller
