c. 
The following Planning Engineering conditions shall apply:  
 
1. 
The applicant will be responsible for coordinating with the Town of Queen 
Creek to review any traffic impact, right-of-way dedication, permitting or 
roadway improvement requirements for Empire Boulevard Avenue in 
conjunction with this proposed entitlement. 
 
2. 
The applicant must work with the County Building Official to remedy 
unpermitted construction (frame garage) on the site to bring it into 
compliance within six (6) months of any (zone change) approval. 
 
3. 
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. 
The following SUP standards shall apply:  
 
1. 
Min. Front Yard – 12’ 
2. 
Min. Lot Area – 39,559 sq. ft. 
3. 
Pavement – Pavement permitted to be compacted and rolled decomposed 
granite with a dust control plan approved by Maricopa County Air Quality 
Control except for ADA parking 
 
All other development standards per Rural 43 zoning shall apply. 
 
e. 
All outdoor lighting shall be shielded and directed downward and otherwise in 
accordance with Section 1112 of the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance. 
 
f. 
The special use permit is valid for a period of 5 years and shall expire 5 years from 
the date of BOS approval or upon termination of the use for a period of 90 or 
more days, whichever occurs first. All site improvements associated with the 
special use permit shall be removed within 90 days of such expiration or 
termination of use.   
 
g. 
Noncompliance with any Maricopa County Regulation shall be grounds for 
initiating a revocation of this Special Use Permit as set forth in the Maricopa 
County Zoning Ordinance.  
 
h. 
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.  
 
i. 
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

September 28, 2022 Board of Supervisors’ Hearing – P&Z Agenda 
Page 3 of 19 
 
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 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.

applicable Development Master Plan Guidelines, subdivision regulations, and 
zoning ordinance in effect at the time of application(s) submission. The Maricopa 
County Planning and Development Department may approve minor changes as 
outlined in the Maricopa County Development Master Plan Guidelines in effect 
at the time of amendment. Non-compliance with the narrative report, maps, and 
exhibits, or the conditions of approval will be treated as a violation in accordance 
with Maricopa County Procedures.

Comments:  
The applicant is requesting to amend the DMP and rezone for an 
increased lot yield in Phase 3.  The previously approved DMP 
allowed for a maximum of 390 units in Phase 3, or 1.59 du/ac.  The 
amendment, as now modified, will increase the lot yield to 645 units 
on 244.74 gross acres at 2.647 du/ac. The subject site is the third and 
final phase of the White Tank Foothills Development.  
 
To date staff has received 142 letters of opposition, an opposition 
petition with 206 signatures and six support letters. During the August 
4, 2022, Commission Hearing four individuals spoke in opposition. 
The opposition is largely concerned with loss of community 
character due to increased density, and associated access 
concerns with increased traffic.  
 
 
The applicant has also discovered an error in the total amount of 
dwelling units for the entire White Tank Foothills community once 
Phase 3 is approved. The amount listed in the Commission Staff 
Report was 1,621 dwelling units; however, the true number will be 
1,636 dwelling units once Phase 3 is complete.  The reason for this 
discrepancy was due to a miscount of the total units in Phase 2 of 
White Tank Foothills, where 15 lots were not included in the overall 
community total. It's important to note this typographical error in the 
applicant’s material was in regard to the existing unit count of 
Phase 2 and not the subject amendment concerned with proposed 
Phase 3. 
 
 
Since the August 4, 2022, Commission Hearing, the applicant has 
prepared a DMP / land use plan exhibit that appropriately illustrates 
the Phase 3 Amendment superimposed upon the existing approved 
DMP where Phases 1 & 2 are already platted. Staff is recommending 
DMP2021001, condition ‘a’ be updated to reflect this exhibit to 
include the following change:  
 
a. 
Development shall be in substantial conformance with the Development Master Plan 
Narrative Report entitled “White Tank Foothills”, dated May 10, 2022, and stamped 
received May 16, 2022, including all exhibits, maps, and appendices, except as modified 
by the following conditions. Within 30 days of Board approval the narrative shall be 
revised to incorporate the land use plan exhibit entitled “White Tank Foothills Proposed 
Phase 3 Exhibit” stamped received September 9, 2022. 
 
 
Therefore, with regard to DMP2021001, staff recommend the Board 
motion for approval subject to Commission recommended 
conditions ‘a’ – ‘c’ but with revised language to condition ‘a’ as 
shown below:  
 
a. 
Development shall be in substantial conformance with the Development Master 
Plan Narrative Report entitled “White Tank Foothills”, dated May 10, 2022, and 
stamped received May 16, 2022, including all exhibits, maps, and appendices, 
except as modified by the following conditions. Within 30 days of Board approval 
the narrative shall be revised to incorporate the land use plan exhibit entitled

September 28, 2022 Board of Supervisors’ Hearing – P&Z Agenda 
Page 5 of 19 
 
“White Tank Foothills Proposed Phase 3 Exhibit” stamped received September 9, 
2022. 
 
b. 
Changes regarding use and intensity, or changes to any of the approved 
conditions shall be processed as a revised application with approval by the Board 
of Supervisors upon recommendation by the Maricopa County Planning and 
Zoning Commission. Revised applications shall be in accordance with the 
applicable Development Master Plan Guidelines, subdivision regulations, and 
zoning ordinance in effect at the time of application(s) submission. The Maricopa 
County Planning and Development Department may approve minor changes as 
outlined in the Maricopa County Development Master Plan Guidelines in effect 
at the time of amendment. Non-compliance with the narrative report, maps, and 
exhibits, or the conditions of approval will be treated as a violation in accordance 
with Maricopa County Procedures.  
 
c. 
The Development Master Plan shall be developed sequentially as depicted on 
the phasing diagram contained in the narrative report.

LLC 
Request: 
Zone Change from R1-6 RUPD PAD, R1-7 RUPD PAD, R1-8 RUPD PAD, 
R1-18 RUPD PAD and Rural-43 PAD to R1-6 RUPD PAD, R1-7 RUPD 
PAD, and R1-10 RUPD PAD accommodating a single-family 
residential subdivision 
Site Location:  
Generally located at the NWC of Citrus Rd. and Northern Ave.  in 
the Glendale area 
Commission  
Recommendation: 
On 8/4/22, the Commission voted 9-0, to recommend approval of 
Z2021050 subject to conditions ‘a’ – ‘aa’: 
 
a. 
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Zoning 
Exhibit entitled “White Tank Foothills”, consisting of four full-size sheets, dated May 
10, 2022, and stamped received May 16, 2022, except as modified by the 
following conditions. 
 
b. 
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Narrative 
Report entitled “White Tank Foothills”, consisting of 19 pages, dated May 10, 2022, 
and stamped received May 16, 2021, except as modified by the following 
conditions. 
 
c. 
The following Planning Engineering condition shall apply:  
 
1. 
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

September 28, 2022 Board of Supervisors’ Hearing – P&Z Agenda 
Page 6 of 19 
 
Roadway Design Manual; and current engineering polices, standards and 
best practices at the time of application for construction.  
 
2. 
Engineering review of these application is limited to the rezoning of the site 
and does not include any aspects of future entitlement application(s) that 
will be required for site development. No development approval is inferred 
by this review, including, but not limited to drainage design, access, 
roadway alignments and right-of-way dedication(s). These items will be 
addressed as development plans progress and are submitted to the 
County for additional entitlement (i.e. preliminary plat).   
 
d. 
All buildings subject to noise attenuation as per ARS § 28-8482(B).  
e. 
The master developer shall notify future homeowners that they are located 
within the state-defined “territory in the vicinity of a military airport” with the 
following language: 
“You are buying a home or property in the ‘vicinity of a military airport’ as described 
by State of Arizona statute ARS §28-8481. Your house should include sound 
attenuation measures as directed by State law. You will be subject to direct over 
flights and noise by Luke Air Force Base jet aircraft in the vicinity. 
Luke Air Force Base executes over 200,000 flight operations per year, at an 
average of approximately 170 overflights per day. Although Luke's primary flight 
paths are located within 20 miles from the base, jet noise will be apparent 
throughout the area as aircraft transient to and from the Barry M. Goldwater 
Gunnery Range and other flight training areas. 
Luke Air Force Base may launch and recover aircraft in either direction off its 
runways oriented to the southwest and northeast. Noise will be more noticeable 
during overcast sky conditions due to noise reflections off the clouds. 
Luke Air Force Base's normal flying hours extend from 7:00 a.m. until approximately 
midnight, Monday through Friday, but some limited flying will occur outside these 
hours and during most weekends.” 
Such notification shall be recorded on all Final Plats, be permanently posted on 
not less than a three foot by five-foot sign in front of all home sales offices, be 
permanently posted on the front door of all home sales offices on not less than 
an 8½ inch by 11-inch sign, and be included in all covenants, conditions, and 
restrictions (CC&Rs) as well as the Public Report and conveyance documents. 
Such notification shall be recorded on all Final Plats, be permanently posted on 
not less than a 3 foot by 5-foot sign in front of all home sales offices, be 
permanently posted on the front door of all home sales offices on not less than an 
8½ inch by 11-inch sign, and be included in all covenants, conditions, and 
restrictions (CC&Rs) as well as the Public Report and conveyance documents.

Page 8 of 19 
 
greater than 60 feet from the street cord.   The minimum front yard setback line 
for all irregular or non-rectangular shaped lots must be illustrated on each plat.   
 
o. 
The master developer shall be responsible for the construction of all public and 
private on-site roads within the Development Master Plan. Further, the applicable 
homeowner’s association shall be responsible for the maintenance and upkeep

p. 
The total number of residential dwelling units of White Tank Foothills Phase 3 shall 
not exceed 645 dwelling units.  Overall, the total number of residential dwelling

plats.  
 
q. 
All park facilities shown on plats shall be completed concurrently with residential 
development. Park facilities and amenities shall be identified on all applicable 
plats.  
 
r. 
Not less than 50 acres shall be reserved for active and passive open space. 
Further, the project shall have not less than five pocket parks and one off-site park

the status of the cumulative open space acreage and park numbers with respect 
to the requirements of this condition.  
 
s. 
Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the applicable school districts, not less 
than 15-acre school site and a minimum of 15 acres shall be reserved within the 
area of the overall planned community. Said school shall not front on to arterial 
streets. 
 
t. 
Development phasing shall assure two access points are provided.  
u. 
Bike lanes shall be required on all arterial and collector streets as specified in the 
Maricopa County Bicycle Transportation System Plan.  
v. 
Prior to approval of the final plat, a total half-width 65-foot right-of-way shall be

z. 
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.  
aa. 
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. 
 
Additional  
Comments:  
The applicant is requesting to amend the DMP and rezone for an 
increased lot yield in Phase 3.  The previously approved DMP 
allowed for a maximum of 390 units in Phase 3, or 1.59 du/ac.  The 
amendment, as now modified, will increase the lot yield to 645 units 
on 244.74 gross acres at 2.647 du/ac. The subject site is the third and 
final phase of the White Tank Foothills Development.  
 
To date staff has received 142 letters of opposition, an opposition 
petition with 206 signatures and six support letters. During the August 
4, 2022, Commission Hearing four individuals spoke in opposition. 
The opposition is largely concerned with loss of community 
character due to increased density, and associated access 
concerns with increased traffic.  
 
The level of opposition has triggered a super-majority (four 
affirmative) vote requirement for the Board to approve the zone 
changes. The trigger is when 20% or more of property owners within 
a 300’ radius of the subject site, by number and area register 
opposition to the case. The opposition received accounts for 152 
property owners equating to:  
 
30% opposed by acreage and 45% opposed by number  
 
 
 
The applicant has also discovered an error in the total amount of 
dwelling units for the entire White Tank Foothills community once 
Phase 3 is approved. The amount listed in the Commission Staff 
Report was 1,621 dwelling units; however, the true number will be 
1,636 dwelling units once Phase 3 is complete.  The reason for this 
discrepancy was due to a miscount of the total units in Phase 2 of

September 28, 2022 Board of Supervisors’ Hearing – P&Z Agenda 
Page 10 of 19 
 
White Tank Foothills, where 15 lots were not included in the overall 
community total. It's important to note this typographical error in the 
applicant’s material was in regard to the existing unit count of 
Phase 2 and not the subject amendment concerned with proposed 
Phase 3. 
 
The applicant is requesting to change Condition ‘p’ of Z2021050 
from the Commission’s recommendation to reflect this error: 
 
Condition ‘p’: The total number of residential dwelling units of White Tank Foothills Phase 3 shall 
not exceed 645 dwelling units. Overall, the total number of residential dwelling units for the 
entire White Tank Foothills master community shall not exceed 1,621 dwelling units. To help 
ensure compliance, the cumulative number of dwelling units completed to date, in relation to 
the identified limit, shall be identified on all plats. Development of all parcels in Phase 3 of the 
White Tank Foothills DMP shall be limited to a total of 645 lots. All plats must contain a table 
tracking total approved, platted, and remaining lot counts for the total of Phase 3.  
  
Additionally, since the August 4, 2022, Commission Hearing staff has 
received an updated Zoning Exhibit, attached, with a greater 
number of the Phase 3 dwelling units being restricted to a maximum 
height of 24’ (essentially limiting those units to single-story). The 
amount of lots the Commission recommended was 115 and the 
applicant is requesting to add nine more lots for a total of 124 lots 
that will have a maximum height of 24’.   Accordingly, Condition ‘a’ 
of Z2021050 is also to be changed from the Commission’s 
recommendation:  
 
 
Condition ‘a’: Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Zoning 
Exhibit entitled “White Tank Foothills”, consisting of four full-size sheets, dated May 10, 2022 
August 24, 2022, and stamped received May 16, 2022 August 25, 2022, except as modified by 
the following conditions. 
 
With regard to Z2021050, staff recommends the Board motion for 
approval subject to the Commission recommended conditions ‘a’ 
– ‘aa’ but with revised language to conditions ‘a’ & ‘p’ as shown 
below:  
 
a. 
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Zoning 
Exhibit entitled “White Tank Foothills”, consisting of four full-size sheets, dated 
August 24, 2022, and stamped received August 25, 2022, except as modified by 
the following conditions. 
 
b. 
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Narrative 
Report entitled “White Tank Foothills”, consisting of 19 pages, dated May 10, 2022, 
and stamped received May 16, 2021, except as modified by the following 
conditions. 
 
c. 
The following Planning Engineering condition shall apply:

September 28, 2022 Board of Supervisors’ Hearing – P&Z Agenda 
Page 11 of 19 
 
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 polices, standards and 
best practices at the time of application for construction.  
 
4. 
Engineering review of these application is limited to the rezoning of the site 
and does not include any aspects of future entitlement application(s) that 
will be required for site development. No development approval is inferred 
by this review, including, but not limited to drainage design, access, 
roadway alignments and right-of-way dedication(s). These items will be

The master developer shall notify future homeowners that they are located 
within the state-defined “territory in the vicinity of a military airport” with the 
following language: 
“You are buying a home or property in the ‘vicinity of a military airport’ as described 
by State of Arizona statute ARS §28-8481. Your house should include sound 
attenuation measures as directed by State law. You will be subject to direct over 
flights and noise by Luke Air Force Base jet aircraft in the vicinity. 
Luke Air Force Base executes over 200,000 flight operations per year, at an 
average of approximately 170 overflights per day. Although Luke's primary flight 
paths are located within 20 miles from the base, jet noise will be apparent 
throughout the area as aircraft transient to and from the Barry M. Goldwater 
Gunnery Range and other flight training areas. 
Luke Air Force Base may launch and recover aircraft in either direction off its 
runways oriented to the southwest and northeast. Noise will be more noticeable 
during overcast sky conditions due to noise reflections off the clouds. 
Luke Air Force Base's normal flying hours extend from 7:00 a.m. until approximately 
midnight, Monday through Friday, but some limited flying will occur outside these 
hours and during most weekends.” 
Such notification shall be recorded on all Final Plats, be permanently posted on

y. 
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.  
z. 
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.  
aa. 
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.

Request: 
General Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA) to change   
the land use designation in the Laveen Area Plan from Open Space 
and Rural (0-1 d.u./acre) to Large Lot Residential (1-2 d.u./acre). 
CPA case approval is by Resolution.  
 Site Location:  
Generally located at the SEC of 35th Ave. & Olney Ave. in the 
Laveen area 
Commission  
Recommendation: 
On 9/1/22, the Commission voted 9-0, to recommend approval of 
CPA2021012 subject to conditions ‘a’ – ‘c’:  
    
a. 
Development and use of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the 
Narrative Report entitled “Sunrise Ranch at South Mountain”, consisting of 14 
pages, dated June 6, 2022, and stamped received June 28, 2022, except as 
modified by the following conditions.

land use exhibit entitled “Sunrise Ranch at South Mountain” dated January 4, 
2022 and stamped received January 25, 2022, except as modified by the 
following conditions. 
 
c. 
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 owner to enjoy uses in excess of those permitted by the land 
use existing on the date of the application, subject to conditions.  In the event of

September 28, 2022 Board of Supervisors’ Hearing – P&Z Agenda 
Page 15 of 19 
 
the failure to comply with any condition of approval, the property shall change 
to the land use designation that existed on the date of the application.  It is, 
therefore, stipulated and agreed that 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 the value of the property from the value it held on the date of 
application due to such revocation.  The Comprehensive Plan Amendment 
enhances the value of the property above its value as of the date the 
Comprehensive Plan Amendment is granted and changing to the prior land use 
designation results in the same value of the property as if the Comprehensive Plan 
Amendment had never been granted.

e. 
After Final Plat recordation and prior to any zoning clearance for building permits, 
the applicant shall obtain a final Grading and Drainage and Infrastructure permit 
from Maricopa County. 
 
f. 
Prior to Final Plat approval, Water and Wastewater Plans shall be submitted to 
and approved by the Maricopa County Department of Environmental Services 
(MCESD) subject to their procedures. 
 
g. 
The following Planning Engineering conditions shall apply: 
  
1. Care shall be taken when aligning Olney Avenue on the east and west sides 
of 35th Avenue. Final plans shall show improvements on the west side of 35th 
Avenue and demonstrate how the intersection will be aligned. This may 
require coordination with the developer on the west side of 35th Avenue. 
 
2. The final design shall include detailed plans for the widening of 35th Avenue 
to a Minor Arterial section per Figure 5.9 of the Roadway Design Manual. 
 
3. The Olney Avenue site frontage shall be developed to Rural Local Roadway 
classification- reference cross section 5.6 MCDOT Roadway Design Manual. 
Olney improvements are as indicated below: 
 
a. Segment of Olney Avenue from 35th Avenue to approximately 616 east of 
35th Avenue - 25 foot R/W half street local roadway dedication containing 
20 feet of pavement with 2 ½ shoulders each side. 
 
b. Segment east of first ±616’ from 35th Avenue - 25 foot R/W half street local 
roadway dedication containing 26 feet of pavement width plus southern 
shoulder per typical RDM cross section standard for local rural roadway. 
The 26 foot pavement will encroach on parcel to north. MCDOT will assist 
in determining legal owner of this parcel and obtaining right to 
pave/improve in this parcel. This roadways section shall taper from the 
western point of new pavement to meet pavement the width of the west 
portion of existing Olney Avenue. 
 
c. Prior to final plat/infrastructure approval, a Design Exception will be 
required from MCDOT for the substandard improvement of Olney Avenue. 
 
4. To satisfy safe sight distance requirements at the southern road access to 35th  
Avenue (Capistrano Drive), the roadway profile of Capistrano Drive east of 
35th Avenue must be designed such that Capistrano Drive is sloped towards 
35th Avenue for a distance of at least 20 feet. 
 
5. Channel side slopes of 2:1 can only be stabilized with grouted rip rap or 
concrete; side slopes of 1:1 or steeper can only be stabilized with concrete. 
Channel grades and resultant velocities within the channels exceed those 
which would allow for unlined systems. As noted in the Drainage Report, final 
design will warrant stabilization. The use of vertically placed rip rap for scour 
protection is prohibited. Subsurface scour protection must be placed at a 
maximum 2:1 slope.

September 28, 2022 Board of Supervisors’ Hearing – P&Z Agenda 
Page 17 of 19 
 
 
6. Final design plans shall indicate retention of the site’s half-width frontage of 
35th Avenue. 
 
7. Retention and spreader basins must drain within 36 hours. 
 
8. Berms used for storm water retention, conveyance of storm water or a 
combination of the two, must have a minimum top width of eight feet (8’). 
 
9. A geotechnical analysis addressing the stability of cut slopes in excess of 2:1 
must be submitted as part of the subdivision’s infrastructure permit 
application. 
 
10. The need to address erosion setback requirements from new drainage 
infrastructure will be further evaluated as part of the final design, pending 
channel stabilization requirements. 
 
11. The need for drainage easements within HOA tracts must be further evaluated 
as part of the final plat preparation. 
 
12. A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Permit (SWPPP), issued by the County 
(PND), will be required prior to issuance of any building/grading permits 
required for site development. 
 
13. Engineering review of planning and/or zoning cases is for conceptual design 
only and does not represent final design approval nor shall it entitle applicants 
to future designs that are not in conformance with Section 1205 of the 
Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance and Drainage Policies and Standards; 
Floodplain Regulations for Maricopa County; and the MCDOT Roadway 
Design Manual. 
 
14. Based on the conceptual design nature of the information submitted, 
changes to the site layout and/or a reduction in the number of building lots 
may be necessitated by the final engineering design of the subdivision 
drainage infrastructure. 
 
15. Detailed Grading and Drainage (Infrastructure) Plans must be submitted with 
the application for Final Plat Approval and Building Permits. 
 
h. 
The final plat construction documents shall restrict traffic exiting from Olney 
Avenue onto 35th Avenue to right out only movement until such time that Olney 
Avenue is fully developed with half street improvements on the northern side of 
the mid-section line or the interim design of the intersection allows for the 
appropriate sight visibility triangle on the adjacent northern property.  If the 
developer cannot demonstrate appropriate safety or visibility with the design of 
Olney Avenue, a splitter island shall be required in the final plat construction 
documents to MCDOT specifications. 
 
i. 
The Owner or Developer shall address and respond to all recommendations of 
the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD) included in the letter dated

September 28, 2022 Board of Supervisors’ Hearing – P&Z Agenda 
Page 18 of 19 
 
November 10, 2021 at the time of final plat infrastructure permits.  The response 
shall be sent to AZGFD for review and consideration.  The Zoning Inspector and/or 
their designee shall review the applicant’s response, and any subsequent 
comments received from AZGFD, to determine whether the response issued by 
the Owner or Developer addresses AZGFD comments in good faith.  Should the 
Zoning Inspector and/or their designee decide that the Owner or Developer has 
not substantially addressed AZGFD comments in good faith, the Owner or 
Developer shall be required to propose and implement alternatives to the 
recommendations made by AZGFD. 
 
j. 
Sunrise Ranch will be a “dark skies” community.  Any county required outdoor 
lighting shall be shielded so as not to direct or reflect light upon adjoining land,

Prior to approval of the initial Final Plat, the applicant shall provide the Maricopa 
County Planning and Development Department with an executed pre-
annexation service agreement with the City of Phoenix that identifies when the 
proposed project will be annexed and the provision of water, and sewer, police, 
fire, and related services and infrastructure.  In lieu of a pre-annexation service 
agreement the developer must provide a ‘will serve’ letter from the City of 
Phoenix for water, sewer, fire and police services.  This information shall be 
included in the narrative report for the Final Plat and the associated public report 
for the subdivision.  The Final Plat shall contain a note referencing the will serve 
letters or pre-annexation service agreement.  
 
n. 
Prior to Final Plat approval, the property owner shall add a note on the plat that 
discloses to tenants of the site or purchasers of property within the site, the 
existence, proximity, and operational characteristics of active agricultural uses 
and non-domesticated animal keeping.  
 
o. 
Prior to Final Plat approval, the property owner shall add a note on the plat that 
discloses to tenants of the site or purchasers of property within the site, the 
existence, proximity, and operational characteristics of active aviation uses in the 
Hangar Haciendas Units One, Two, and Three subdivisions located approximately 
750 feet to the east of the subject property in Maricopa County. 
 
p. 
Amendments to the zone change shall be processed as a revised application in 
accordance with Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance Article 304.9. 
 
q. 
Noncompliance with the conditions of approval will be treated as a violation in 
accordance with the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance.  Further, 
noncompliance of the conditions of approval may be grounds for the Planning

Department, 
Maricopa 
County Department

Division, 
Planning 
and 
Development 
Department, or the Flood Control District of Maricopa County may be grounds 
for initiating a revocation of this Zone Change as set forth in the Maricopa County 
Zoning Ordinance. 
 
s. 
The granting of this Zone Change has been at the request of the applicant, with 
the consent of the landowner.  The granting of this approval allows the property 
owner to enjoy uses in excess of those permitted by the land use existing on the 
date of the application, subject to conditions.  In the event of the failure to 
comply with any condition of approval, the property shall change to the land use 
designation that existed on the date of the application.  It is, therefore, stipulated 
and agreed that 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 the value of 
the property from the value it held on the date of application due to such 
revocation.  The Zone Change enhances the value of the property above its 
value as of the date the Zone Change is granted and changing to the prior land 
use designation results in the same value of the property as if the Zone Change 
had never been granted.
