Request: 
Special Use Permit (SUP) for commercial storage of RVs, boats 
and vehicles in the Rural-43 zoning district 
 
Site Location: 
600’ east of the SEC of Carefree Hwy. and 12th St. in the Desert 
Hills area 
 
 
Site Size: 
Approximately 8.7 acres 
 
County Island Status: 
Yes (City of Phoenix) 
Additional 
Comments: 
The applicant is requesting a Special Use Permit (SUP) for a 
commercial storage facility for the storage of RVs, boats and 
vehicles on an approximately 8.7-acre site in the Rural-43 
zoning district. The site is located 600-feet east of the 
southeast corner of Carefree Hwy. and 12th St. in the Desert 
Hills area. There are no outstanding concerns from reviewing 
agencies. 
 
 The site is within the Municipal Planning Area of Phoenix. The 
General Plan for Phoenix designates the site as Large Lot 
Residential with densities of one to two residences per acre. 
Although the proposal appears to conflict with this plan,  The 
City was provided the opportunity to review and comment 
on this proposal. However, to date Phoenix has not provided 
comment on this SUP request.  
 
The site is within a corridor designated in the Daisy Mountain/ 
New River Area Plan for commercial uses and in the Carefree 
Hwy. Scenic Corridor. Although, the proposed outdoor 
storage uses is not an encouraged use within the commercial 
corridor and specifically states mini-storage, excluding 
outdoor storage, the proposed use would be appropriate, 
since the outdoor storage will be screened from view of the 
Highway by landscaping in front of screening walls and

vehicles will placed under canopies. Moreover, the 
architectural design of the facility with an office with parking 
along the street has an appearance of a mini-storage facility 
and is not a design typical of an outdoor storage facility with 
large open areas with very little screening.  Staff are in support 
of this SUP for commercial storage on the 8.7-acre property. 
 
Prior to the 3/10/22 Planning & Zoning Commission Hearing 
staff received nine support letters and  five opposition letters 
for this proposal. During the 3/10/22 Planning & Zoning 
Commission Hearing one individual spoke in support and two 
individuals spoke in opposition of the proposal. After the 
3/10/22 Planning & Zoning Commission Hearing, staff 
received two appeals to their approval recommendation.  
The general feeling among the opposition members is that 
this commercial SUP will be incompatible to the surrounding 
rural residential land uses, an increase of area traffic, and 
possible 
negative 
environmental 
impacts 
from 
this 
development (e.g.  lighting, flooding, or pollution issues).   
 
Staff has calculated the support and opposition received, 
and notes that a Super Majority Vote has been triggered. 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 
five property owners with an area of 852,591 sq. ft.  
 
 
The calculations for Luxury Storage are as follows:  
 
37% opposed parcel acreage within 300’ buffer 
 
38% opposed parcel numbers within 300’ buffer

Zoning Ordinance.  
 
q. 
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 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.

Project Summary: 
 
1. 
The applicant is requesting a Special Use Permit (SUP) for a commercial storage facility 
for the storage of RVs, boats and vehicles on an approximately 8.7-acre site in the Rural-
43 zoning district. The site is located 600-feet east of the southeast corner of Carefree 
Hwy. and 12th St. in the Desert Hills area. The facility will consist of one office building, eight 
parking shade canopies (with a total of 254 storage spaces) and one RV wash bay.  The 
site will be enclosed with eight-foot-tall solid walls with one entry gate and one 
emergency gate adjacent to Carefree Hwy. Hours of operation will be from 6 a.m. to 9 
p.m. daily with 24-hour access for customers with access codes and the site will have a 
total of three employees.   
 
2. 
On November 24, 2020, the applicant first met with staff to discuss this proposal. During 
the meeting, staff recommended the applicant apply for a SUP for commercial storage 
(PA2020167). After the formal SUP submittal, the applicant met with staff for a second 
time in the Technical Advisory Committee Meeting on April 20, 2021, to discuss staff’s first 
review of this request.   
 
3. 
The site is located within the Rural-43 zoning district and the Carefree Hwy. Scenic Corridor 
(CHSC). The applicant is requesting to vary the following Rural-43 development standards 
and CHSC design guidelines:   
 
 
Increase the maximum lot coverage from 25% to 50%; 
 
Reduce the required rear yard from 40-feet to 15-feet; 
 
Reduce the required interior side yards from 30-feet to 15-feet;  
 
Eliminate the CHSC design guideline’s average 100-foot deep front yard, keeping 
the CHSC suggested 50-foot deep front yard.  
 
4. 
The applicant is requesting to vary the three Rural-43 development standards to create 
a facility that will reflect the site’s commercial aspect.  Even though both the side and 
rear yards will be reduced to 15-feet there will be landscaped buffers from the adjacent 
rural residential land uses. The applicant and developer will abide with all of the CHSC 
design guidelines, except for the suggested average front yard depth, which create a 
facility that will blend into the existing environment. All buildings, fences, parking areas 
will be setback 50-feet from the Highway.  Within this 42,498 square foot street frontage 
setback area will be fully landscaped retention areas with typical native vegetation that 
will provide an undulated, natural appearance.

Adopted Plans: 
 
8. 
Daisy Mountain/New River Area Plan (updated November 20, 2019): The Daisy 
Mountain/New River Area Plan designates the site as Rural Densities (0-1 du/ac).  The 
Rural Densities land use designation promotes low-density single-family residences at or 
below one home per acre where the natural environment may determine a home’s 
location to avoid disruption of natural washes or steeper slopes. Further, the designation 
recognizes that public water and sewer services may not be available or may be limited.  
Unlike the majority of residences in the area, this site will have access to a water main 
extension agreement with the Town of Cave Creek and access possibly to municipal 
sewer in the future, although that is still undetermined. Thus, this proposal would be 
appropriate for this area with a small number of employees/visitors and will have access 
to public water.   
 
9. 
Additionally, the site is located within the CHSC which is designed to preserve the 
uniqueness of the area around the Carefree Highway. The CHSC has design guidelines 
developed to guide and enhance planning of this unique setting as development 
occurs.  The intent of these guidelines is to highlight, promote and preserve the Highway’s 
scenic characteristics. This proposal will be incorporating the majority of the design 
guidelines of the Carefree Highway Scenic Corridor with the following:  
 
 
All buildings and shade canopies within 50-feet of the edge of the Highway right-of-
way will be at or below 20-feet in height; 
 
Any rooftop/ground mounted mechanical, trash enclosure, or parking area will be 
screened from view from the Highway;  
 
All screening materials used will be compatible with the architecture of the main 
office of the site and any accessory structure will match the materials/colors of the 
main office; 
 
All materials and finish will be neutral, earth tone colors with textures compatible 
with the surrounding desert environment; 
 
Outdoor lighting will be low intensity, fully shielded, and directed downward; 
 
The height outdoor lighting poles/standards will have a maximum height of 16-feet 
from surface grade of parking/storage areas; 
 
The two driveways on site will be spaced 318-feet apart exceeding the 150-foot 
minimum;  
 
All landscaping materials will consist of native indigenous trees, plants, and shrubs 
to foster a natural aesthetic of the CHSC.  
 
10. 
City of Phoenix General Plan: The General Plan for Phoenix designates the site as Large 
Lot Residential with densities of one to two residences per acre. Although the proposal 
appears to conflict with this plan,  The City was provided the opportunity to review and

Z2021034 
Page 6 of 9 
comment on this proposal. However, to date Phoenix has not provided comment on this 
SUP request. 
 
Public Participation Summary: 
 
11. 
The applicant notified property owners within 300-feet of the site and interested parties 
in the area.  During the applicant’s Citizen Participation process the applicant received 
four phone calls from neighbor’s with questions in regards of the proposal. The applicant 
responded to each inquiry promptly and was able to provide answers to their questions.  
Additionally, the applicant received nine letters of support from the neighbors.  The City 
of Phoenix was notified about this SUP request but as of the writing of this report staff has 
not received any comments regarding this proposed project. 
 
Outstanding Concerns from Reviewing Agencies: 
 
12. 
There are no outstanding concerns from reviewing agencies. During the review process 
the applicant received support for the proposal by New River/Desert Hills Community 
Association Board (NRDH) with the following requests:  
 
 
Outdoor Lighting must be dark sky compliant;  
 
No median cut on the Highway to prevent any left turning vehicles from the 
facility;  
 
The existing wash remain in a natural state;  
 
Limiting the SUP timeframe to 10-years. 
 
The developer will be incorporating all of the suggested requests from NRDH in this 
project, except for keeping the existing wash untouched.  If the existing wash remains in 
its natural state on the site, this will take up over half of the site, making this request 
unrealistic for this project. The CHSC Article 6.9, states where possible washes should be 
kept in their natural state and in this case this is not possible. The developer has 
redesigned the exiting wash by channelization and retention basins approved by 
Planning Engineering designed to keep water flow through the site without negatively 
affecting the site or surrounding properties.  The City of Phoenix was notified on March 
30, 2021, and staff have not received any comments regarding this proposed project. 
 
Staff Analysis: 
  
13. 
Staff is in support of this SUP for commercial storage on the 8.7-acre property. The 
proposed use is appropriate for a site located along Carefree Hwy., just five miles east of 
the Interstate-17 and Hwy. 74 interchange.  There is an apparent need for covered RV 
storage in the area and this use would satisfy that demand.  The applicant will follow the 
majority of the CHSC design guidelines which will allow the facility to compatible with the 
surrounding environment, which will be a condition of approval. Even though the CHSC 
average 100-foot deep front yard will be eliminated in this SUP request, by keeping the 
front yard along the Highway at a depth of 50-feet will still lessen the impact of the facility 
along the Highway’s viewshed.  The request to vary the underlying Rural-43 required yards 
and lot coverage will be appropriate to develop a commercial storage facility. The 
developer will provide landscaped buffers in the required yards adjacent to neighboring 
properties and will pave the driving surfaces of the site. The development will also

Z2021034 
Page 7 of 9 
incorporate the majority of the  suggestions of NRDH demonstrating the developer’s 
intention to create a facility in harmony with the area.

j. 
All landscaping shall consist of indigenous trees, plants, shrubs, and groundcover 
typical of the Upper Sonoran Desert, preserving existing vegetation where possible 
and any landscaping used shall be drought tolerant with low water consumptive 
landscaping materials. 
 
k. 
Any rooftop mechanicals, ground mechanicals, parking areas, trash enclosures, 
and transformers shall be screened.  
 
l. 
All materials and colors used in screening walls, buildings, covered RV wash bay,

o. 
The developer must complete habitat and special status species evaluation and 
submit to the Arizona Game and Fish Department for review prior to the submission 
of building permits.  
 
p. 
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.  
 
q. 
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

Z2021034 
Page 9 of 9 
with any condition, and at the time of expiration of the Special 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.

8.
Utilities: Must Be Underground
Relationship to Surrounding Properties: 
How will the proposal benefit the community or area:  
The  facility  will  be  integrated  into  a  generally  rural  character  area.  The  Daisy  Mountain/New  River 
Subarea Plan shows the Property within a commercial use area along the Carefree Highway. This area is 
the only commercial area shown in the Daisy Mountain/New River Subarea Plan. [See attached Figures 
#3]  
The Property is also located near a concentrated commercial node and commercially developed parcels 
along  Carefree  Highway.  Additionally  the  surrounding  residential  areas  are  primarily  larger  lots  with 
many residents that have large recreational, travel trailers, and boats and are need of an area that can 
store  these  vehicles  off‐site.  Additioanly,  the  Property  is  located  on  one  of  the  main  routes  to  Lake 
Pleasant where residents in North Scottsdale and the greater Phoenix Valley will have a need to store 
their boats and vehicle be between their residence and the Lake Pleasant. 
With Luxury Storage RV & Boat offering covered vehicle storage, this will provide a highly needed and 
desired location for the proposed use. Additionally, the Applicant has reached out to several of the area 
interest  groups  including  the  New  River  Preservation  Group,  New  River/Desert  Hills  Community 
Association, and New River Desert Hills. Initially, their reponses have been generally positive and we 
have incorporated details into this SUP Application to address some of their comments.  
Discussion of the recent changes in the area of the request that support the application:   
The Daisy Mountain/New River Subarea Plan shows the Property as one of the very limited areas with 
allowed commercial uses. Also, the facility is located one of the most significant arterials in the area. The 
area has had excellerated growth since the 2000’s and has transitioned from manufactured homes to 
million dollar site built homes.  
While some large estate homes may include an RV garage, it is still common for area resident to not 
have an area to store their additional vehicle such as boats, RVs, extra cars and trucks located on their 
properties. These expensive vehicles are rarely covered and the residents desire a quality place store 
their RV’s, travel trialers, and boats away from single family residential sites.

Location and Accessibility: 
Luxury Storage RV & Boat is located on Carefree Highway, within a commecially designated planned 
area and a scenic corridor. The access will be directly to Carefree Highway and will be limited to one (1) 
main driveway along Carefree Highway. There will be 1 main driveway and 1 emergency driveway along 
Carefree Highway.  
 
Carefree Highway has a center median at this location. Per MCDOT Traffic Impact Analysis Approval with 
the following three (3) Stipulations: There will be right turn in and right turn out access only for this 
parcel; no left turn lane in at center median for west bound traffic; right turn deceleration lane required 
at main driveway for east bound thru traffic.
 
There  is  no  contact  with  access  to  either  12th  Street  or  14th  Street.  There  are  interving  neighboring 
parcels between the Property and each of those streets. The washes in the area generally flow on either 
side of the Property with no designated floodplains on the Property.  
 
Varied Development Standards and Justifications  
 
The Luxury Storage RV & Boat Site Plan proposes a commercial use as allowed under a Special Use 
Permit. As such, the use is commercial in nature, so this Application reflects Commercial Zoning 
Development Setbacks for the Side and Rear Yard Setbacks. The use is not a noxious commercial in any 
way and does require additional buffering associated with other noxious commercial uses. Vegetation 
will be appropriately placed on the Property perimeter, as required to provide aesthetics to any 
adjacent properties.  
 
Applicant is requesting to eliminate the CHSC Guideline’s average 100’ deep front setback and keep this 
recommended front setback as a minimum of 50’. The site is in the Carefree Highway Scenic Corridor 
(CHSC) and this development will keep 95% of the site’s front yard as open space including a storm 
water retention basin and a natural drainage path which routes storm water from the north through the 
property along the west property line exiting on the south property line.  
 
An additional request to vary the maximum lot coverage from 25% to 44%. The Applicant’s Justification 
for an increase in Lot Coverage reflects basis for the SUP Application converting the Land Use from 
Residential to Commercial.  
 
The  South Rear Yard will have a 15’ Minimum Setback to the Shade Canopies and Pavement; the Shade 
Canopies will ocupy 46% of the required southern rear yard  with the balance 44% maintained as open 
space including the storm water retention basin. The Shade Canpies will be screened from view on 
adjacent parcels by the existing trees on the adjacent property north property line. 
 
The West Side Yard will have a 15’ Minimum Setback to the Shade Canopies and Pavement; the Shade 
Canopies will ocupy 72% of the required western side yard with the balance 28% maintained as open 
space.   
The East Side Yard will have a 15’ Minimum Setback to the Shade Canopies and Pavement; the Shade 
Canopies will ocupy 83% of the required eastern side yard with the balance 17% maintained as open 
space.

Grading and drainage solutions often impact land use and circulation. The proposed Civil Site Plan has 
incorporated all the requirements into a cohesive design. The Property is impacted by regional surface 
storm  water  flows  on  adjacent  washes  and  piped  under  Carefree  Highway.  The  drainage  flows  from 
these  culverts have been  taken  into account with the submitted Grading and Drainage Plan. On‐Site

received. Luxury Storage RV & Boat will be built in a single phase.  
Community Facilities and Services: 
The Luxury Storage RV & Boat facility does not need community facilities to support its operation more 
than what is currently available in the immediate area. Fire services are close by and responsive and as a 
non‐residential use it requirs very little community support serices. 
Public Utilities and Services: 
The Owner has entered into a Water Main Extension Agreement with the Town of Cave Creek for Water 
Service, approval pending. A Sewer Line will be stubbed out for future connection to municipal sewer. 
Sewer  will  be  provided  by  a  private  vendor  and  the  sales  office  will  be  served  by  an  on‐site  septic 
system. There will be public restroom facilities in the sales office that will be available during business 
hours. The manager will not have a residence on the Property. Any required gas service will be provided 
via propane. Electricity will be obtained from Arizona Public Service. 
Daisy Mountain Fire Department is the nearest fire services as well as the paramedics. The Property is 
also in the area served by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Department, which has made this a very safe 
community for many years.

RE: Case Z20211034 
 
Opposition to Case Z202134 
 
We are the owner of the property (APN# 211-74-001A) directly to the east of the 
subject property where the application is filed for Luxury Storage.  
 
Our family purchased this property to build a house which we are currently 
working on the plans.  We originally called & talked to Applicant’s representative 
voicing our concern & objection about the noise, height of carports, visibility of 
vehicles over the fence, height of fence, vegetation, etc,…. Applicant’s 
representative promised to send us additional plans addressing our concerns.  
We have not heard from applicant to date and are very concern to view bunch of 
parked vehicles, rows of carport structure & other items visible over the fence to 
reduce value of our property and completely ruining our backyard views and 
comfort.  We purchased in this area to have peace, quiet & enjoy the wide open 
rural space.  
 
We respect our neighbors and try hard not to intrude on their privacy and 
enjoyment of their ownership.  We just expect the same respect for our privacy 
and enjoyment of our ownership.. 
 
We hereby oppose and object to the approval of such permit and wish the 
applicant find a better suitable space where it does not impact the neighbors.   
 
My wife & I are out of town during the hearing time & won’t be able to attend the 
hearing.  We will be available for phone call should that option be available.     
 
Sincerely,

Hi Rachel, 
 
I have some concerns with the Planning & Zoning Commission Hearing Date on Thursday, 
March 10th at 9:30am for Agenda item #2 Case #Z2021034 Luxury Storage RV & Boat.  
 
 
My name is Steve Villarreal and I am in opposition of this project, email is 
Steve.Villarreal@outlook.com and my phone number is 602-397-7203. I own parcel #211-74-
140, which is within 300 feet of this proposed project.  
 
 
Opposition 
I wish to speak at the hearing. 
 
My concerns are: you have 9 supporting letters which are from homeowners that aren't even in 
the vicinity of this proposed project. One letter in particular from Jonathon Charnock, address 
34322 N 14th St., Phoenix, which is my direct neighbor. You have a signed support letter dated 
1/6/22 from him, however, he sold this house sometime around July 2021. Phil, the new 
neighbor is totally against this project and it is very concerning with how many other fraudulent 
letters of support you may have received.  
 
 
My second concern is: drainage from this property is tremendously going to affect my property 
as the wash runs directly in the middle of my land.  
 
 
Third concern: Traffic. Will 12th and 14th Street now become an area where individuals will be 
making a U-Turn to access and exit the facility an most likely will be towing trailers, making 
these very dangerous intersections.  
 
 
Fourth concern: Cave Creek Water District is not supplying any more water meters for new 
developments; so what is your main source of water? 
 
Lastly, how does an RV and Boat Storage Facility benefit any resident in the Desert Hills / New 
River area, when we all have ample room for storage of RV and boats on our property?  
 
Thank you, 
Steve Villarreal

Reason for the Appeal of 
the Subject Case 
Area residents were not properly informed. This zoning is not 
what has been allowed in residential neighborhoods. This is a 
rural area. It will be a detriment to our community, and our home. 
You did not allow anyone to speak at your so-called virtual 
hearing. Others who have agreed to this, do not live in the area. 
24 hr. access, lighting and fencing will be a constant nuisance to 
those who live nearby. Respectfully, Georgia and Joseph 
Ehmann. 
Regarding case: Z2021034. parcel number 211-74-002a. Our 
home is parcel number 211-74-004s. Directly south of said

Commission Hearing 
Date 
March 10, 2022 
Reason for the Appeal of 
the Subject Case 
The major opposition to the Special Use Permit is the proposed 
project seems incompatible to the surrounding area of residential 
and rural use. Because of the project size, people living in the 
Desert Hills area would loose a sense of a community. The 
Storage does not meet the community needs. Also there is an 
environmental concern that the density of RVs will result in 
numerous septic leakage, chemicals and fuel spillage. How is 
parcel drain? The aerial view indicates a watercourse through the 
parcel.
