Commission  
 
Recommendation: 
On 5/12/22, the Commission voted 9-0 to recommend 
approval of Z2022058 subject to conditions ‘a’ – ‘f’:  
 
a. 
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Zoning Exhibit 
entitled ‘Proposed Site Plan’ consisting of 1 page, dated March 17, 2022, and 
stamped received April 15, 2022, except as modified by the following conditions. 
Staff may determine slight refinements to remain in substantial conformance with 
the approved narrative.  Minor and major amendments to the narrative will be 
determined in accordance with Chapter 3 of the Maricopa County Zoning 
Ordinance. 
 
b. 
The following CUPD standard shall apply:  
 
1. 
Menu-boards for drive-thru restaurants containing speakers shall not be 
located any closer than 50 feet to a Rural or Residential zone. 
 
c.

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. 
 
d. 
Continued compliance with the conditions of approval for Z2021035 as 
applicable. 
 
e. 
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.  
 
f. 
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 to rezone approximately 2.5 acres along Baseline Road and 
on both west and east sides of 56th Ave. (APNs 300-02-061B, 300-02-078C, 300-02-078B) 
from C-2 to C-2 CUPD to accommodate quick-service restaurant drive-through speaker 
menus adjacent rural and residential zoning districts. 
 
2. 
The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors (BOS) approved the zone change request 
from Rural-43 to C-2 on August 4, 2021 with conditions a. through g. At the time, applicant 
requested no deviations from the C-2 zoning standards. Subsequent Plans of 
Development (Z2022006) have been applied for that includes a quick-service drive-
through coffee restaurant and an automobile repair facility (Z2021114). The applicant 
requests deviation from Article 1403.2.4.5 of the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance 
(MCZO) with this rezone request. The MCZO requires Menu-boards for drive-thru 
restaurants in Commercial zoning districts containing speakers not be located any closer 
than two hundred (200) feet to a Rural or Residential zone. The applicant request that this 
distance be reduced to fifty (50) feet. The chart below shows the standard being 
deviated with changes in bold.

Adopted Plans: 
 
6. 
City of Phoenix General Plan: (adopted 2015): The city designates the sites as 
Commercial. The proposed rezone is consistent with the City’s land use designation. 
 
7. 
Laveen Area Plan: Adopted February 18, 1992, the plan designates the parcel in this area 
as UR/ML urban residential/ medium low (2-5 dwelling units per acre). The existing zoning 
approved under Z2021035 meets community development goals and guidelines as the 
commercial sites are “located at intersections of arterial streets”. 
 
 Public Participation Summary: 
 
8. 
The applicant posted the property and notified all property owners within 300’ of the 
subject site in accordance with the Maricopa County Public Participation Guidelines. 
Registered areas of interest were contacted by the applicant and staff regarding the 
rezoning request. To date, no opposition has been received. 
 
Outstanding Concerns from Reviewing Agencies: 
 
9. 
N/A. 
 
Staff Analysis: 
 
10. 
Previous analysis and support for the original rezone discussed that new commercial uses 
provided on these parcels should be considered in concert with the surrounding area, 
especially since the new zoning would allow for additional businesses to cater to the 
community’s needs. The previous rezone request did not request deviations from any C-
2 development standards. This case seeks to adjust the C-2 requirements for audible 
menu boards in anticipation of the drive-thru ‘quick service’ commercial uses 
contemplated for these parcels. There is a current POD (Z2022006) with a drive-through 
menu board that does not meet this distance requirement. 
 
11. 
Commercial uses adjacent residential uses typically require site screening. Reducing the 
distance of menu boards with speaker boxes to residential zones should have a very 
minimal noise impact as noise is mitigated by site screening requirements. Development 
of these sites for commercial purposes would further insulate the remaining residential 
community from noise, light, and other nuisances generated by traffic along Baseline Rd. 
 
Recommendation: 
 
12. 
Staff recommends the Commission adopt a motion recommending that the Board of 
Supervisors approve Z2022058 subject to the following conditions ‘a’ – ‘f’. 
 
a. 
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Zoning Exhibit 
entitled ‘Proposed Site Plan’ consisting of 1 page, dated March 17, 2022, and 
stamped received April 15, 2022, except as modified by the following conditions. 
Staff may determine slight refinements to remain in substantial conformance with 
the approved narrative.  Minor and major amendments to the narrative will be 
determined in accordance with Chapter 3 of the Maricopa County Zoning 
Ordinance.

b. 
The following CUPD standard shall apply:  
 
1. 
Menu-boards for drive-thru restaurants containing speakers shall not be 
located any closer than 50 feet to a Rural or Residential zone. 
 
c. 
Administrative approval of a Plan of Development will be required prior to 
approval and issuance of construction permits to develop and establish use of the 
site. 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. 
 
d. 
Continued compliance with the conditions of approval for Z2021035 as 
applicable. 
 
e. 
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.  
 
f. 
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

Change enhances the value of the property above its value as of the date the

of the property as if the Zone Change had never been granted.

Narrative 
Report 
 
55th Avenue/Baseline Rezoning 
Case No: Z2022058 
Submitted: March 18, 2022

purpose of 
request 
The applicant rezoned approximately 
2.5 acres along Baseline Road on the 
east and west sides of 56th Avenue 
(APNs 300-02-061B, 300-02-078C and 
300-02-078B) from RU-43 to C-2 to 
accommodate commercial uses 
complementary to nearby 
development along the Baseline Road 
corridor in Z2021035. The purpose of 
this request is to address a single 
development standard so that the 
properties may be developed in the 
manner contemplated in the original 
request, modifying the zoning from C-
2 to C-2 CUPD. 
description of proposal 
The site plan that accompanied the original zoning request from RU-43 to C-2 in 
Z2021035 demonstrated examples of the types of commercial buildings that 
would likely be developed on the Property under C-2 zoning. The vision for the 
properties included a mix of single or multi-tenant retail buildings providing a 
range of neighborhood services, including restaurants, automotive service uses 
and retail shops. 
The individual end users are now separately processing plans of development 
through the Maricopa County Planning Department for approval for the exact uses 
envisioned for the property.  All uses comply with the guidelines for the C-2 
zoning district and do not include adult-oriented businesses or dispensaries.  
This application seeks to amend a single development standard to accommodate 
the restaurant uses, which are permitted by right.

relationship to surrounding 
properties 
The property up and down the Baseline Road corridor is generally developed for 
commercial use similar to what would be permitted under the zoning designation being 
requested with this application and CUPD request. Additional neighborhood serving

C-2 CUPD comparison table 
 
The Property is currently zoned C-2 Intermediate Commercial, which allows for 
commercial uses including drive thru restaurants.  The CUPD is proposed to 
address a single development standard relating to the spacing of menu boards 
containing speakers from the adjacent rural zoning district, which was depicted in 
the underlying C-2 zoning. The subject property has frontage along Baseline Rd., 
which is a four-lane Major Arterial per the City of Phoenix Streets Classification 
Map.  The Property is positioned along a retail corridor, which includes big box 
retail, and automotive and car wash uses.  This Property is also adjacent to the 
Laveen Conveyance Channel to the west; The Spurr Lounge Restaurant and Bar, 
drive-up water kiosk station and billboard to the east; and Laveen Auto works, a 
vehicle repair shop that is within the Rural-43 zoning district to the south, which is 
port of the adjacent rural zoning necessitating this proposal.  The requested 
modification will allow the property to be developed as intended in the original 
rezoning request and is reflective of the commercial nature of this segment of
