Applicant/Owner:  
Jacob Zonn, Becker Boards / 8946 Apache Trail LLC    
 
Request: 
Zone Change from R-5 and C-3 to C-3 CUPD to 
accommodate the relocation and upgrade of a static 
billboard to digital 
 
 
Site Location: 
Generally located at the NWC of Apache Blvd. and the Loop 
202 Freeway in the Mesa area 
 
Site Size: 
28,435 sq. ft. 
 
County Island Status: 
Yes, City of Mesa 
Additional 
Comments: 
There are no outstanding concerns from reviewing agencies. 
The proposed C-3 CUPD zoning is to accommodate the 
digitalization of a billboard along the Loop 202 freeway.  The 
CUPD will permit a radial separation fewer than the 1,000’ 
minimum separation required by the base zoning district, and 
a billboard height up to 70’ where the base zoning district 
would permit a max. height of 70’ above adjacent grade but 
not to exceed 48’ above the elevation of the freeway (which 
is depressed below adjacent grade). There are no 
outstanding concerns from County review agencies. There is 
no known opposition. 
  
Commission  
 
Recommendation: 
On 9/22/22, the Commission voted 8-0 to recommend 
approval of Z2022075 subject to conditions ‘a’ – ‘g’:  
 
a. 
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Site Plan 
entitled “SITE-PLAN-2“, consisting of 2 full-size sheets, dated June 20, 2022, except 
as modified by the following conditions. 
 
b. 
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Narrative 
Report entitled “NARR-RPTS-2”, consisting of 4 full sized sheets, dated July 7, 2022, 
except as modified by the following conditions.

Page 2 of 2 
c. 
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. 
 
d. 
The following C-3 CUPD standards shall apply: 
 
a. 
Min. Distance from Another Billboard to the west: 200’ 
 
e. 
Noncompliance with any Maricopa County Regulation shall be grounds for 
initiating a revocation of this Zone Change as set forth in the Maricopa County 
Zoning Ordinance.  
 
f. 
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.  
 
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 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 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.

Project Summary: 
 
1. 
The applicant is requesting a Zone Change with Overlay from R-5 and C-3 to C-3 CUPD 
on an approx. 28,435 sq. ft. site to convert an existing static billboard to a digital display. 
The applicant is applying for this zone change due to the existing billboard not meeting 
the 1000’ spacing requirements from other billboards within 3 miles of a municipality per 
MCZO 1403.3.1.A.1.B, with multiple billboards within 1000’ along Apache Trail and near 
the intersection of Apache Trail and the Loop 202 Freeway. The subject property is 
located at the intersection of Apache Trail and the Loop 202 freeway, and the billboard 
is located approx. 215’ from the southbound travel lane. The current billboard is 48’ in 
height and the applicant is also proposing to increase the size of the billboard facing to 
14x48 (672 sq. ft) and raise the billboard from 48’ to 70’ in compliance with the maximum 
allowed sign face and height on a C-3 zoned parcel. The parcel is designated as Urban 
Residential in the East Mesa Area Plan and as Neighborhood residential in the Mesa 2040 
General Plan. 
 
2. 
The most recent aerial photography shows the subject site currently being used as vehicle 
storage for the Dunesport business that is being run on the adjacent parcel to the west. 
The site is directly bordered on the east by an exit lane to the Loop 202 freeway and to 
the north is the Desert Rose Motel and RV Storage facility. There is an existing billboard 
located approx. 236’ west on the adjacent parcel to the west, 218-40-001M, which is 
oriented east/west to face Apache Trail traffic coming onto and off the freeway. 
 
3. 
The billboard on the site was approved in 2014 under planning cases variance 
BA2014033, plan of development Z2014059, and subsequently permitted under 
B201405650. The approved variance allows for a 40’ advertising sign height and a 
setback of 0’ from the east parcel line. The conditions for Z2014059 include a stipulation 
that the maximum height of the sign cannot exceed 40’ and that the billboard cannot 
be illuminated. It should be noted that the approved location on the Plan of 
Development does not match what was ultimately approved in permitting. The billboard 
was built approx. 135’ north of what was entitled. Staff found no explanation for this 
discrepancy. This request would grant a permanent entitlement for the billboard at its 
current location.  
 
4. 
The parcel was subject to a violation case, V202102091, in late October of 2021 due to 
the billboard having been illuminated past midnight despite being permitted as being 
non-illuminated per the conditions of Z2014059. The lights were summarily removed, and 
the violation was closed in December of 2021. 
 
5. 
The applicant is requesting a zone change to C-3 CUPD.  The base C-3 zoning regulations 
and requested zoning standards for the C-3 CUPD district are listed below:

Adopted Plans: 
 
9. 
East Mesa Area Plan (Adopted: 1992): The East Mesa Area Plan identifies this site as Urban 
Residential/High (0-25 d.u./acre).  This land use designation encourages high density uses 
where all urban services are available or will be provided. 
 
10. 
Mesa 2040 General Plan (Adopted 2014): The Mesa 2040 plan identifies this site as a 
‘Neighborhoods’ district. This land use designation supports primarily residential areas with 
supporting parks, schools, places of worship, and small commercial areas.

Public Participation Summary: 
 
11. 
The applicant has complied with the Maricopa County Citizen Review Process with the 
required posting of the site and notification by first class mail to adjacent property owners 
and HOA’s within 300’ of the subject parcel and notification to interested parties.  A 
Public Participation Results Report was submitted to Staff in accordance with County 
requirements. 
 
12. 
The applicant held a virtual public meeting on Tuesday, June 7, 2022.  The Results Report 
indicated that there were no attendees at the meeting. 
 
13. 
Staff received no letters of opposition or support for the request. 
 
Outstanding Concerns from Reviewing Agencies: 
 
14. 
N/A. 
 
Staff Analysis: 
 
15. 
Staff considers this site to be an appropriate site for a billboard.  Billboards, including 
digital billboards, are a permitted use in the current C-3 zoning district. Additionally, this 
site is surrounded by commercial uses and bordered by a freeway.  Areas closest to a 
freeway typically comprise the highest areas of intense multi-family residential, 
commercial and industrial activity due to the accessibility of the transportation node and 
are therefore appropriate for the use proposed. 
 
16. 
Staff would note the existence of R-5 zoned parcels directly to the west and north of the 
site. Per the conditions of Z2014059 and under normal circumstances, per MCZO 
1403.3.1.B.2, this billboard would not be allowed to be permitted. However, both 
adjacent parcels noted are owned by the Desert Rose Motel and are currently be used 
for a commercial purpose as a motel and RV storage respectively. The nearest residential 
use from the billboard is ~284’ to the north at 8946 E. Albany St in the Sunny Skies Mobile 
Estates Unit 2 subdivision, well beyond the required 150’ minimum separation from a 
digital billboard to a residential zoned parcel. 
 
17. 
Z2014059 also requires a maximum height of 40’ and requires the billboard to be non-
illuminated. However, the zone change would moot these requirements as the applicant 
would be able to meet the existing zoning standards. 
 
18. 
The request for the CUPD standards is due to the spacing of the relocated billboard and 
an existing billboard on the southwest of the adjacent parcel. As noted above, this 
existing billboard is oriented towards traffic coming onto and off Apache Trail. The subject 
billboard would be oriented towards the Loop 202 Freeway. Staff is also supportive of 
replacing the static billboard with a digital face billboard. It is staff’s opinion that a digital 
face billboard with light mitigation is preferable than a traditional illuminated billboard.  
 
19. 
The applicant submitted all documents required to meet public participation 
requirements.  Staff notified the City of Mesa about the request and received no 
comments.  Staff received no public opposition and reviewing agencies (Engineering 
and Environmental Services) have no objections to the request.

Z2022075

Recommendation: 
 
20. 
Staff recommends the Commission adopt a motion recommending that the Board of 
Supervisors approve Z2022075 subject to the following conditions ‘a’ – ‘h’: 
 
a. 
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Site Plan 
entitled “SITE-PLAN-2“, consisting of 2 full-size sheets, dated June 20, 2022, except 
as modified by the following conditions. 
 
b. 
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Narrative 
Report entitled “NARR-RPTS-2”, consisting of 4 full sized sheets, dated July 7, 2022, 
except as modified by the following conditions. 
 
c. 
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. 
 
d. 
The following C-3 CUPD standards shall apply: 
 
a. Min. Distance from Another Billboard to the west: 200’ 
 
 
e. 
Noncompliance with any Maricopa County Regulation shall be grounds for 
initiating a revocation of this Zone Change as set forth in the Maricopa County 
Zoning Ordinance.  
 
f. 
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.  
 
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

Narrative Report / CUPD for Digital Billboard 
Project Name: 8946 E Apache Trail Billboard  
General Location:  NWC of Apache Trail and 202 
Case/tracking #: Z2022075 
Submittal Date: April 11, 2022 
2nd Submittal Date:  July 7, 2022 
Sign Owner: Becker Boards Small, LLC 
Applicant Name:  Jacob Zonn         
Address: 8946 E Apache Tr.  Mesa, AZ. 85207

Purpose of Request 
The applicant requests a Commercial Unit Plan of Development (“CUPD”) to allow for a digital 
conversion of the single face structure (the “Billboard”) along the Loop 202 (the “202”), parcel # 
218-40-001X (the “Property”).  This small 28,435 square foot parcel is located in unincorporated 
Maricopa County and is currently zoned C-3 (General Commercial) with a small portion of R-5 
(Multiple Family Residential) on the northeast portion of the parcel.  The billboard structure will 
be built in the same location.  A second face will be added to the south face, and both faces will 
be converted to digital.  All other standards and structures stay the same.  The SUP is required 
due to the spacing requirements of 1,000 feet in Section 1403.3.1.A.1.b.  The spacing is due to 
being 200’ to an arterial sign along Apache Trl. and 750’ to signs at the SEC and NEC of Apache 
Trl and the 202.  The height of the sign will be at 70’ due to the Apache Trl. overpass and elevation 
difference between the Property and the freeway lanes. The digital face will also incorporate 
horizontal and vertical louvers to mitigate any light trespass to surrounding properties since it is 
within 500’ of residential zoning to the north. 
Description of Proposal 
The property is located directly adjacent to the 202 freeway with the address of 8946 E Apache 
Trail.  The billboard is along the eastern perimeter closest to the freeway as possible. The 
Property is currently industrial and used for outdoor storage.  The property can be accessed off 
Apache Trail to the south.  
The applicant is proposing to convert the current single faced billboard to two faced and from 
static to digital.  The current billboard is at 48’ in height and is oriented to the 202 off ramp.  The 
billboard has a setback 0’ from the east property line as allowed by right.  The setback will stay 
the same but the height will be raised to 70’.  The static faces will be converted to digital faces. 
The digital faces will also incorporate horizontal and vertical louvers to mitigate any light trespass 
to surrounding properties.   All other development standards of the Maricopa County Zoning 
Ordinance (“MCZO”) Chapter 14 apply.  The billboard will meet the standards in Chapter 11, 
Section 1112 of the Zoning Ordinance and all digital general provisions provided in MCZO Art.

Relation to Surrounding Properties 
The surrounding parcels of the Property consist of commercial and rural zoning districts.  There 
is a shopping center located directly east of the Property across the freeway, vacant land used 
for outdoor storage to the north and residential homes further to the north.  Directly west of 
the Property is an empty commercially zoned lot along the Apache Trail.  
North – Outdoor storage zoned C-3 and R-5.  No adverse effects are expected. 
South – Apache Trail.  No adverse effects are expected. 
East – 202 Freeway.  No adverse effects are expected. 
West – Outdoor storage and office zoned C-3. No adverse effects are expected. 
New digital faces on the Property will allow local businesses of the east valley to advertise to 
viewers.  A new, quality billboard at this site will add improvement to the property and allow 
for messaging to the east valley.  The rezone is conducive to the development and General Plan 
land use designations in the City of Mesa.  This billboard is consistent with freeway types of 
development and the Commercial zoning and uses on the east side of the freeway.   
Location and Accessibility 
The Property is accessible from Apache Trail.  The billboard will be reachable for maintenance 
from this access point.  As stated, the 202 freeway is directly to the east of the Property.  The 
Property has regional access via the 202 freeway.   
Circulation System 
The billboard is accessed from Apache Trail.  There will be no vehicular movement to any 
surrounding properties.  
Development Schedule 
Once a permit is issued by Maricopa County the digital faces will be ordered and delivered within 
4 weeks of being ordered.  The construction process can be done in only a few days.   
Community Facilities and Services 
The Property is in the Mesa Unified School District.  Stevenson Elementary school is the closest 
school to the site at 628 S 96th St, 1.6 miles to the southeast of the Property.  The City of Mesa 
Skyline Park is 2.4 miles to the south of the Property.
