2. 
The building Permit for Marabella wellsite No 2 cannot have the Final 
Inspections until after the Building Permit B20200905 and its MCDOT Permits 
have been finaled. 
 
3. 
Drainage 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 the Maricopa County 
Drainage Policies and Standards. 
 
4. 
All development and engineering design shall be in conformance with 
Section 1205 of the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance and current 
engineering policies, standards and best practices at the time of 
application for construction. 
 
5. 
Any construction in MCDOT Right-of-Way of Northern Avenue must have a 
MCDOT Right-of-way Permit. 
 
d. 
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.  
 
e. 
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. 
 
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 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 a Plan of Development for a second well site to feed water to 
existing treatment equipment, which is an allowed use within the base Rural-43 zoning 
district.  There is an existing well site with water treatment equipment located 
approximately 1,800 feet north of the subject site.  No additional treatment equipment 
will be included at the new well site. The purpose of the second well is to be able to 
increase flow to the existing treatment equipment located at the initial well site to the 
north. 
 
2. 
The subject site was included with UC2019006 and MCP2020002, the later of which was 
approved by the Board of Supervisors (BOS) by a vote of 5-0 on October 7, 2020.  The Pre-
application meeting for the subject project was held October 12, 2021.  The subject case 
was formally submitted on October 29, 2021.  
 
3. 
The site will be surrounded by a 8 foot high masonry wall for ample screening and will be 
accessed through an electrified gate with security access pad. Besides the pumping 
equipment itself, the site will have electrical equipment, a backup generator, lighting, 
and on site retention.  The site will be mostly unmanned with only the occasional 
maintenance worker on site.

Adopted Plan: 
 
7. 
White Tank/Grand Ave Area Plan (adopted 2000): The land use for subject parcel is 
identified as Military Compatible in the Area Plan.  The purpose of this designation, as per 
the Area Plan, is to assure development is consistent and compatible with the high noise 
and accident potential generated by Luke Air Force Base. 
 
Public Participation Summary: 
 
8. 
 The applicant sent initial mailers out to all properties within 300’, areas of interest, as 
well as other local jurisdictions.  The applicant did not receive any responses or 
comments as a result of the Public Participation.  Staff notes that there are no parcels 
with active residential uses within 300’ which may have contributed to the lackluster 
public response.   
 
Outstanding Concerns from Reviewing Agencies: 
 
9. 
N/A. 
 
Staff Analysis: 
 
10. 
The subject site was previously subject to the approved UC2019006 and MCP2020002, of 
which utility uses where identified as a compatible use on the site.  The proposed Plan of 
Development is for a well site to be operated by Liberty Utilities, which is conducive to 
the prior approvals.  Furthermore, the determination that utility uses are compatible on 
the site by the previous approvals adheres to the area plan land use designation of 
“Military Compatible”. To further strengthen the compatibility of the proposed POD Luke 
Air Force Base was informed of the proposed POD and provided favorable comments.   
 
11. 
The well site will serve as a companion well for an existing well site and treatment facility.  
It is also in close proximity to an existing water canal and the Morton Salt facility.  The 
proposed use meshes well with these and other area land uses. For these reasons staff is 
of the opinion that the proposed POD for a well site is compatible with the area and Luke 
Air Force Base Operations. 
 
Recommendation: 
 
12. 
Staff recommends the Commission adopt a motion recommending that the Board of 
Supervisors approve Z2021136 subject to the following conditions ‘a’ – ‘f’. 
a. 
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Site Plan 
entitled “Liberty Utilities Marvella Well Site No. 2“, consisting of 7 full-size sheets, 
dated February 11, 2022, and stamped received February 11, 2022, except as 
modified by the following conditions. 
 
b. 
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Narrative 
Report entitled “Liberty Utilities Marbella Well Site No. 2 Plan of Development 
Narrative Report - Revised”, consisting of 7 pages, dated February, 2022, and 
stamped received February 11, 2022, except as modified by the following 
conditions.

1.0 Purpose of Request 
 
Liberty Utilities Corp (Liberty) is beginning to design and build the 
infrastructure for their Zone 2 water facilities in their Litchfield Park service 
territory, which includes Marbella Well No.1 and Marbella Well No. 2. Marbella 
Well Site No. 1 is currently in construction. The Marbella Well Site No.2 will 
include equipping of an existing well, an on-site retention basin, a standby 
generator, electrical equipment housed under a shade canopy, two paved 
access roads, one motor operated access gate, and a fenced in area for APS 
access and equipment with a swinging access gate. A transmission waterline 
will convey the raw discharge from well no. 2 to the well no. 1 site for treatment 
and connection back to the distribution system. 
 
The purpose of this request is to apply for a Military Compatibility Permit with 
Plan of Development for the Marbella Well Site No. 2, located near the 
intersection of Northern Parkway and Dysart Road (the “Property”). The site 
address is 12749 West Northern Avenue, Glendale, AZ 85335. Please reference 
the Legal Description included on the Design Plan cover sheet for the 
Property’s exact location. 
 
2.0 Existing Site Conditions 
 
The site is vacant and undeveloped. There are no unique topographical 
conditions and the Property is not within a floodplain. The Property falls within 
the 65 decibel noise level lines (LDN 65) on the County’s land use plan and 
zoning maps. 
 
3.0 Description of Proposal 
 
3.1 Proposed Use 
 
Marbella Well Site No. 2 with onsite retention, Marbella Well No. 2, standby 
power and electrical equipment. A 6-inch transmission waterline will bring 
Well 2 raw water to treatment at Well Site No. 1. Treatment for Well No. 2 will 
be at Well No. 1 Site and will include arsenic treatment, chlorine disinfection, 
and pH adjustment. The requested Military Compatibility Permit with a 
precise Plan of Development for the Well Site No. 2 water utility campus use 
will enable the property owner to develop an approximate 0.46 acre water 
campus in order to serve the area.

3.2 Business Operations  
 
The site will be run by Liberty Utilities, with designated personnel coming to 
check the functionality and performance after build out. Personnel on site will 
be for maintenance purposes and will be minimal, as the well site itself is not a 
permanent place of employment. It is expected that there will be a maximum 
of three (3) maintenance employees assigned to the well site. Hours of 
operation shall be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. 
 
3.3  Building Location and Description  
The Marbella Well Site No. 2 will not have any buildings. Electrical equipment 
will be housed under a shade canopy. 
 
3.4  Site Signage  
 
Site signage will be mounted on the perimeter walls and the front entry gate. 
Details for these signs are included with the design plans in this application. 
 
3.5  Site Perimeter Wall  
 
The site will be fenced by a block wall along all perimeter sides with a motor 
operated sliding access gate on the southern perimeter to allow entry. A 
manual swinging access gate will be on the southern perimeter and will allow 
entry to the APS equipment. 
 
4.0 Relationship to Surrounding Properties 
 
The property is northwest of the Morton Salt Facility, south of Agricultural and 
industrial uses and east of vacant land. The requested use is a water campus for 
Liberty Utilities to be able to serve the existing and emerging growth and 
development in this area. 
 
The Property is currently zoned Rural-43 with LDN 65 noise level. It is within the 
White Tank Grand Avenue Area Plan with a Land Use Category of Military 
Compatible. The requested Military Combability Permit with Plan of 
Development is to allow for Well Site No. 2 to be used as a Water Campus 
(Utility Use) on the Property which is compatible with the land uses permitted 
under Section 1010.6 of the Maricopa County Zoning Code, ARS §28-8281 and 
the approved Use Compatibility and Consistency Determination (UCCD), 
included with this application.

the Property is designated as Luke Compatible Land Use Area. 
 
5.0 Location and Accessibility 
 
The Property is located in the western portion of Maricopa County. The 
property will be accessed via two access roads off of Northern Parkway which 
serve as entry points to the Marbella Well Site No. 1. An existing utility 
easement extends from Well Site No. 1 to the Well No. 2 Site. Two paved 
access roads will serve as entry points and extend from the existing easement 
to the site.  
 
The Loop 101 is approximately 3 miles to the east and the Loop 303 is 
approximately 4 miles to the west. The Property has access to the I-10 via 
Dysart Road, approximately 6 miles to the south. The easy access to the 
freeways allows connections to various municipalities and services in

Hi Joseph, 
 
Thank you for allowing Luke AFB to make comments on the Marbella Well Site No. 2 Application.  This application 
requests a Military Compatibility Permit with Plan of Development for the Marbella Well Site No. 2.  The Marbella Well 
Site No.2 will 
include equipping of an existing well, an on-site retention basin, a standby generator, electrical equipment housed 
under a shade canopy, two paved access roads, one motor operated access gate, and a fenced in area for APS access 
and equipment with a swinging access gate. The site is located near the intersection of Northern Parkway and Dysart 
Road and is inside the Luke AFB 1988 JLUS 65 Ldn, “high noise or accident potential zone” as defined by A.R.S. § 28-8461 
and is inside the “territory in the vicinity of a military airport” also defined by A.R.S. § 28-8461.   
 
As described in the application, this request will not have a negative impact on Luke AFB Flight Operations.  Since the 
site will be located inside the “territory in the vicinity of a military airport,” it will be subjected to approximately 165 
over flights per day, as low as 1,500 feet above the ground.  We recommend you review the sound attenuation 
requirements found in A.R.S. § 28-8482.  In addition, a strong notification program on the part of the applicant is 
essential to inform users about Luke AFB operations.   
 
Respectfully,
