Page 3 of 4 
3. 
No new driveways to Carefree Highway or 7th Street are included with this 
entitlement. Access to the development site shall be via the existing 
driveway located on 7th Street. 
 
4. 
The subject site is located within the County’s Urbanized Area. A Storm 
Water Pollution Prevention Permit (SWPPP) from the County will be required 
prior to issuance of any construction permits. 
 
5. 
Engineering review of planning and/or zoning cases is for conceptual 
design only. 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. 
 
6. 
Based on the conceptual design nature of the information submitted, 
changes to the site layout may be necessitated by the final engineering 
design of the site’s drainage infrastructure. 
 
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 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. 
 
i. 
The drainage channel included within the SUP area shall be maintained in 
perpetuity by the property owners of all parcels within the C-2 CUPD zoning district. 
 
j. 
GSA Pavement shall be permitted as an acceptable pavement for parking 
spaces and internal driveways with the approval of a dust control plan in 
accordance with the requirements of Maricopa County Air Quality Control. 
 
k. 
Development of the site shall comply with all conditions of Z2015013 except that 
the undulating setback shall comply with the Site Plan entitled “Carefree RV 
Center Expansion” consisting of one full-size sheet dated December 21, 2021, and 
stamped received December 21, 2021.

Project Summary: 
 
1. 
Casey Mahoney is requesting a Special Use Permit Major Amendment to expand an 
existing Special Use Permit (Z2015014) to allow for two additional development phases 
for RV and boat parking and modify existing conditions of approval.  The subject 
properties are located in the Daisy Mountain/New River Area Plan, which designates the 
subject properties as Rural (0-1 d.u./acre).  The properties are also part of the City of 
Phoenix Municipal Planning Area.  The City of Phoenix General Plan designates the 
properties as Undesignated Land.   
 
2. 
The site is zoned C-2 CUPD from the Zone Change with Overlay case Z2015013.  This case 
strictly limited allowed uses based upon whether the uses were appropriate for septic or 
whether the uses needed sewer service to the site.  There are no sewer lines along 
Carefree Highway currently.  Additionally, the zone change case set development 
standards in line with Carefree Highway scenic corridor guidelines.  The Board approved 
a subsequent Special Use Permit (SUP) that allowed a self, RV and boat storage facility 
to develop on the site.  The original area of the zone change was approximately 17.23 
acres.   
 
3. 
The SUP area covered approximately 8.87 acres or the north-half of the subject site.  The 
Board also voted to allow the SUP to have no expiration.  The proposed request is to 
expand the SUP area approximately 5.46 acres to cover a portion of a drainage channel 
servicing the site and the two aforementioned new phases.  Additionally, the applicant 
is proposing to eliminate the status report requirement from the original SUP conditions of 
approval and to adjust, but not eliminate the undulating setback to accommodate the 
new phases. 
 
4. 
The proposed expansion of the development will allow for an additional 190 RV and Boat 
parking spaces.  Eighty-two (82) proposed spaces will be covered by a canopy while the 
remaining spaces will not have a canopy.  An emergency access will also be developed 
along Carefree Highway; however, there will be no regular public access to the site from 
this location.  The site will be accessed through the original access point on 7th Street.  The 
proposal conforms to the existing conditions of approval and development standards of 
the C-2 CUPD zone other than the conditions proposed to be altered. 
 
5. 
The subject site is currently zoned C-2 CUPD and C-2 CUPD SUP.  The applicant is 
requesting to extend the SUP to the entirety of the subject site.  The base C-2 zone, existing 
C-2 CUPD and C-2 CUPD SUP zoning regulations, and requested zoning standards for the 
expanded SUP are listed on the next page:

a length of 65’ along the undulating setback.  This request would allow for additional RV 
and Boat spaces in the Phase 4 portion of the site. 
 
7. 
The applicant is also proposing to utilize GSA pavement for storage spaces as is used in 
the previous phases of the site with the approval of a dust control plan by Maricopa 
County Air Quality Control.  The ADA spaces will still be required to be paved in 
accordance with Maricopa County requirements. 
 
8. 
The applicant is also requesting to eliminate the condition requiring an annual status 
report as the site has operated in conformance with conditions since approval.

Adopted Plans: 
 
16. 
Daisy Mountain/New River Area Plan (adopted 2019): The Daisy Mountain/New River 
Area Plan identifies this site as Rural (0-1 d.u./acre).  This land use designation promotes 
low-density single family homes at or below one home per acre where the natural 
environment may determine a home’s location and access to avoid disruption of natural 
washes and steeper slopes. The designation also recognizes that public water and sewer 
services may not be available, and access to law enforcement, fire protection, schools, 
and parks may be limited. 
 
17. 
City of Phoenix General Plan (adopted 2015): The undesignated land use category 
denotes areas located within the unincorporated Maricopa County adjacent to the City 
of Phoenix municipal boundaries.  
 
Public Participation Summary: 
 
18. 
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.  Two 
signs were posted on site in accordance with applicable regulations.  A Public 
Participation Results Report was submitted to Staff in accordance with County 
requirements. 
 
19. 
The applicant conducted several other activities to increase public participation 
including holding a lunch with leaders from Kiwanis and the New River/Desert Hills 
community groups and sent out a second mailer with a drawing explaining the 
undulating setback alteration request.  In their interactions, concerns included a concern 
that the undulating setback would be eliminated and the potential for light pollution.  
Staff did not receive any letters of opposition from concerned citizens. 
 
20. 
Staff received thirteen (13) support letters from neighbors and community groups 
including Ed Taylor, President of New River Kiwanis and Darren Forstie of the New

Z2021098 
Page 9 of 12 
River/Desert Hills Community Association Board.  The support letters included support from 
business owners and area property owners.   
 
21. 
Daisy Mountain Fire Prevention (DMFP) sent staff comments about fire service 
requirements to the site.  These comments are related to the precise development of the 
site and will be addressed during the construction permitting process.  ADOT ROW Project 
Management had no concerns with the proposal. 
 
Outstanding Concerns from Reviewing Agencies: 
 
22. 
N/A 
 
Staff Analysis: 
 
23. 
Staff is supportive of the applicant’s request for a Special Use Permit Major Amendment 
and the proposal to modify the conditions to eliminate the status report.  The request 
represents an extension of a development that is previously existing, established and 
appropriate in terms of use on the subject site.  Staff feels that the status report has served 
its purpose as the development is compliant with the original conditions of approval.  In 
order to make the original site developable, the applicant constructed a large drainage 
channel around the perimeter of the site to remove the site from regulatory floodway.  
The owners continue to utilize the drainage channel to serve the site and will continue to 
maintain the channel in perpetuity.   
 
24. 
The applicant is requesting to vary the pattern of the undulating setback, but not 
eliminate the setback by adjusting 65’ horizontal feet of the setback while maintaining 
the undulating nature.  This alteration is small in nature and is in keeping with the Carefree 
Highway Scenic Corridor guidelines.  Additionally, the applicant is requesting to utilize 
wetted groundnut shell ash (GSA) pavement on site for internal driveways and regular 
parking spaces.  Staff is supportive of this pavement type with a dust control plan 
approved by Maricopa County Air Quality Control. 
 
25. 
Staff believes that the applicant has acted in good faith to notify key community groups 
in District 3 of the expansion.  Furthermore, the applicant provided a second notification 
letter outlining how the undulating setback along Carefree Highway would be altered so 
that there is no confusion in what is being requested.  Staff believes the applicant 
received additional public support as a result of that action.  Staff received no public 
opposition and reviewing agencies have no objection to the requests. 
 
Recommendation: 
 
26. 
For the reasons outlined in this report, staff recommends the Commission motion for 
Approval, subject to conditions ‘a’ – ‘k’.

Detailed Grading and Drainage (Site Infrastructure) Plans must be 
submitted with the application for Building Permits indicating that the site 
will drain to an existing retention basin. 
 
3. 
No new driveways to Carefree Highway or 7th Street are included with this 
entitlement. Access to the development site shall be via the existing 
driveway located on 7th Street. 
 
4. 
The subject site is located within the County’s Urbanized Area. A Storm 
Water Pollution Prevention Permit (SWPPP) from the County will be required 
prior to issuance of any construction permits.

5. 
Engineering review of planning and/or zoning cases is for conceptual 
design only. 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. 
 
6. 
Based on the conceptual design nature of the information submitted, 
changes to the site layout may be necessitated by the final engineering 
design of the site’s drainage infrastructure. 
 
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 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. 
 
i. 
The drainage channel included within the SUP area shall be maintained in 
perpetuity by the property owners of all parcels within the C-2 CUPD zoning district. 
 
j. 
GSA Pavement shall be permitted as an acceptable pavement for parking 
spaces and internal driveways with the approval of a dust control plan in 
accordance with the requirements of Maricopa County Air Quality Control. 
 
k. 
Development of the site shall comply with all conditions of Z2015013 except that 
the undulating setback shall comply with the Site Plan entitled “Carefree RV 
Center Expansion” consisting of one full-size sheet dated December 21, 2021, and 
stamped received December 21, 2021.

Revised: 12/17/2021

Purpose: 
 
This request is for a Major Amendment to the approved Special Use Permit 
#Z2015014 (Existing Parcels: 211-52-014B – a drainage channel, 211-52-014C 
& 211-52-014E) to further extend South to Lot 3 (211-52-014G) located at the 
northwest corner of 10th Street and Carefree Highway, in District 3 of Maricopa 
County Arizona. This site is part of larger overall site that was successfully 
rezoned C-2 CUPD through a separate companion application (Application No. 
Z2015013).  This extension will bring the total area under the Special Use Permit 
to +/-14.32 acres.    
 
On the mentioned Lots 1 & 2 (211-52-014C & 211-52-014E) directly North of Lot 
3 (211-52-014G), a completed & operating Self-Storage and RV/Boat Park under 
the name of Arizona Storage Inns - Carefree Crossings Self Storage & RV 
Parking.  Given that this area is still burdened by not having a sewer solution 
necessary to attract a wider range of commercial retail Users and due to the high 
demand/success experienced at the existing site (evidenced by a Parking Wait 
List), the owners are desirous of expanding the existing RV/Boat Parking onto 
the adjacent land in two (2) new Phases 3 & 4.  Both Phases will be 
UNCOVERED parking.   
 
Phase 3 will consist of +/-106 new parking spaces on roughly 2.74 acres.  This 
Phase will be developed immediately.  Phase 4 will be an additional 2.33 acres, 
with development to be slated.  The Amendment of the current SUP to include 
Phase 4 Expansion is to ensure this Major Amendment will not need to be done 
again if the owners decide to further expand as recommended by County Staff in 
the October 5th, 2021 TAC Meeting. 
 
As part of this SUP application to build additional RV/Boat Secured & Screened 
Parking, Applicants want to amend one section of the current undulating 40’ – 60’ 
Carefree Highway Scenic Corridor Landscape Setback line.  The modification 
being sought happens where the 60’ setback reduces to a 40’ on Phase 4’s

planned site.  Applicants are seeking to move the location of this landscape 
setback reduction +/-65’ West to the new property line formed with QT.  A visual 
of this is provided in Exhibit “B.” 
 
Furthermore, on the “interim use” note, Applicant wishes to remove stipulation 
“D” on the existing November 2016 Maricopa County Case Number #Z2015014 
SUP regarding 5-year written reporting to the status of the existing site to the 
Maricopa Board of Supervisors.  Applicant also wishes to remove any type of 
time expiration associated with the completed and existing site currently in 
operation. 
 
 
 
 
 
Requested Use within the SUP Project Area: 
 
With the approved C-2 CUPD underlying zoning and this additional SUP request, 
the owner/developer proposes to expand the current Secured RV/Boat Parking 
from the north Lots 1 & 2 – to the adjacent east portion of Lot 3.   
 
The anticipated sequence of Development will be as follows:   
 
• Phase 3: Construction of an additional secured & screened +/-106 
uncovered surface parking spaces for RVs, boats, trailers & haulers on the 
Eastern portion of Lot 3, consisting of approximately 2.74 acres.  There 
will be NO access to the Secured Parking from Carefree Highway.  
RV/Boat customers will still enter/exit the site from ONLY the 7th St entry. 
 
• Phase 4: Immediately West of Phase 3 is an additional 2.33 acres.  
Applicant intends to develop an additional +/-85 uncovered spaces for 
RVs, boats, trailers & haulers.  Again, there will be NO access to the 
Secured Parking from Carefree Highway.  RV/Boat customers will still 
enter/exit the site from ONLY the 7th St entry.  This application’s purpose 
is more interested in ensuring the SUP extension onto this Phase 4 land 
compared to the immediate development of Phase 4. 
 
 
Description of Proposal: 
 
Proposed Uses: Uncovered surface parking spaces for RVs, boats, trailers & 
haulers  
 
Business Operations:  
• Office Hours Monday through Sat. – 9AM to 6PM; Sunday – 10AM to 4PM 
• Access Hours 6AM – 9PM Daily

Number of Employees: One (1) live onsite Manager & One (1) Part-time Front 
Desk Employee 
 
Description/Location of Buildings (All EXISTING. No NEW Buildings):  
• Office & Manager Housing: +/-1,438 SF Two (2) story office with onsite 
living quarters on the 2nd story for a manager.  This building is located 
immediately upon entering the site from the 7th St entrance. 
• Building 1: +/-21,726 SF One (1) story indoor self-storage.  This building is 
located on the SW portion of parcel 211-52-014C. 
• Building 2: +/-31,548 SF One (1) story outdoor/indoor self-storage.  This 
building is North of BLDG 1 and South of BLDG 3… Middle building.  
• Building 3: +/-15,071 SF One (1) story outdoor/indoor self-storage.  This 
building is located on the NW portion of parcel 211-52-014C. 
• Covered Parking Canopies: Three (3) islands consisting of +/-59,218 SF 
of Covered Steel Canopies for Parking RVs and Boats.  These islands are 
in the middle of Parcel #211-52-014C and run East to its border with 
Parcel #211-52-014E. 
 
Color Palette: Colors on the site are desert in theme (browns & beiges) to match 
the surrounding area and existing operation.  See attached pictures  
 
Extension Construction Material:  GSA dust proof ground cover, light poles, 6’ 
CMU block wall with 4’ metal screening on top of the block wall along Carefree 
Highway & 10th St (Southern & Eastern Boundaries) & 6’ wrought iron securing 
the boundary between Phase 3 & 4.  These materials & themes match the 
existing site/operation. 
 
Upon expansion into Phase 4, we will extend the wall in the same style as Phase 
3 along Carefree Highway and move the wrought iron fence to the QT/Phase 4 
Property Line. 
 
Sign Detail/Descriptions: No new signage is proposed for the site as there is an 
existing sign off the 7th Street entrance and users WILL NOT have access from 
Carefree Highway.  The only way to enter & leave will be through the 7th Street 
access. 
 
Pictures of existing operation at Carefree Crossings attached as “Exhibit A” for 
Color Palette & Construction Material 
 
Fence Details/Location:  Fencing exists on the existing perimeter on parcels 
211-52-014C/E.  The new fencing will run along the perimeter of the extension on 
parcel 211-52-014G.

The SUP extension will be in keeping with the same high-end quality finish to 
match the existing secured decorative block fence built with the Carefree 
Crossings Self Storage and RV/Boat Parking Facility. 
 
The new East & West wall will also be the same decorative painted block 
consisting of CMU block with intermittent Split Face Block & Steel “Corten” 
framing.  Finally, “Gabion Cages” utilizing stacked rock are proposed at 
alternating locations along the Southern Wall. 
 
The new West wall will be wrought iron fencing to allow for the movement of this 
wall’s location – based upon the expansion of the secured RV Parking Facility 
OR conveyance of any portion of this Lot 3 to commercial/retail Users.  
 
 
 
 
Comprehensive Plan Designation: 
This property is designated “Commercial” in the Maricopa County 
Comprehensive Plan.  It is located within the boundary of the New River Area 
Plan and the Carefree Highway Scenic Corridor Study area which has identified 
this property as part of the 7th Street and the Carefree Highway commercial 
node area. 
 
In the Scenic Corridor Plan Special Permits are identified as a tool that, in 
conjunction with the appropriate underlying zoning designation, can be used to  
ensure that any potential impact to surrounding properties is mitigated.  With that 
in mind, this project is in accordance with the Corridor Plan’s adopted Designed 
Guidelines and is both appropriate as a use and in keeping with the areas 
character. 
 
Project Access: 
The site’s sole access will be through a controlled “code only” access gate at the 
entrance of the Carefree Crossings SS/RV Facility. This sole access point is 
located more than 400 feet north of the 7th Street/Carefree Highway intersection.   
 
The property will also have an already existing secondary “EMERGENCY 
VECHILES ONLY” access located in the Southeast portion of Lot 3 on Carefree 
Highway.   
 
There will be NO PUBLIC ACCESS to this Lot 3 RV/Boat Secured Parking area 
from Carefree Highway. 
 
Traffic Impact:

Per the October 5th, 2021 TAC Meeting on the subject, Maricopa County staff 
have said NO Traffic Impact Analysis is required as the only entrance to the site 
is 400’ North of Carefree Highway on 7th St. 
 
Signage: 
No Signage is proposed other than directional to have RV/Boat customers enter 
from the already existing access drive to Carefree Crossings on 7th Street. 
 
Existing Land Use Designation and Zoning: 
Currently zoned C-2 CUPD SUP & C-2 CUPD.  The Comprehensive Plan 
Designation for this parcel is “Commercial.”  It is located within the Carefree 
Highway Scenic Corridor Study area.

SUBJECT:  
Carefree Crossing Extend and existing SUP Z2021098 
 
The Maricopa County Environmental Services Department (MCESD) has reviewed revised 
documents received from the Maricopa County Planning and Development Department for the 
above referenced project. This project is a request for approval of a Special Use Permit (SUP) 
on a 6.38 acre site on the northeast corner of Carefree Highway and 7th Street from for a 
proposed retail/commercial center. According to the documents submitted, potable water will 
be provided by a private water company, and wastewater service will be by septic system(s). 
Septic systems in this area are not consistent with the Carefree Highway Scenic Corridor Study; 
however the Planning Department has indicated a willingness to allow septic systems for low 
intensity commercial use on a case-by-case basis.  
 
Based on the above, MCESD raised no objections to the Planning & Development 
Department in Accela Automation on August 29, 2021. 
 
Assuming the Board of Supervisors approves the applicant’s request to deviate 
from the Carefree Highway Scenic Corridor Study requirements which do not allow 
septic systems within the Scenic Corridor, the project is approved subject to the 
following stipulations: 
 
 
 
Stipulations: 
 
1. The owner will abandon the septic systems and connect to a public sewer 
system when one is available, and participate in a fair share of the public 
sewer system funding.   
 
It should be noted that this document does not approve the referenced project.  Comments 
are provided only as advisory to Maricopa County Planning and Development Department to 
assist staff to prepare a staff report.  Other Maricopa County agencies may have additional 
requirements. Final review and approval will be made through Planning and Development 
Department procedures. Applicant may need to submit separate applications to the Maricopa 
County Environmental Services Department for approval of proposed facilities regulated by the 
Department.  Review of any such application will be based on regulations in force at the time 
of application.

Thank you for your notice of the above referenced item.
After review, the above referenced location is more than 1/2 mile from any ADOT proposed or 
existing highway facility and is not anticipated to cause impacts to ADOT facilities .  As such, ADOT 
has no comment regarding the request associated with this case.
ADOT reserves the right to review any future plans, additions and/or changes to this development as 
to any impact they may have on the State Highway System.
Please feel free to contact me should you have any further questions. We appreciate the

RE: 
Desert Hills Community Support Letter 
Carefree Crossings SS/RV LLC – dba as Arizona Storage Inns (34707 N 7th Street)  
 
Hope we find you today to be good health.   
As neighbors in the Desert Hills Area community, we watched the recent construction and subsequently 
welcomed the Self-Storage & RV/Boat Parking Facility located just north of the NEC of 7th Street & Carefree Highway.  
The facility is located at 34707 N 7th St in Phoenix, AZ 85086.   
We are looking to expand our uncovered RV/Boat Storage side of the business onto adjacent land to the south 
of our existing Phase 1 and Phase 2 RV/Boat Storage.  To do so, we need to extend our SUP (Special Use Permit).  Below 
is a 2021 aerial picture of the existing C-2 CUPD & C-2 CUPD SUP site and our proposed SUP expansion on approximately 
an additional 5 acres: 
 
 
This entire Carefree Highway frontage property, from 7th Street to 10th Street, adheres to the existing Carefree 
Highway Scenic Corridor (CHSC) .  Within this Corridor, development guidelines were established by the local Community 
detailing how commercial development will take place.   
The QT & Carefree Crossings SS/RV LLC ownership are in full support & will develop their Carefree Highway 
frontage land to be in conformance of these CHSC guidelines. This support letter offers your acceptance for Carefree 
Crossings SS/RV LLC to adjust, by approximately 65 horizontal feet, the current undulating Carefree Highway setback to 
conform to the actual newly formed QT East property line location.      
 
We are seeking support to adjust the 60’ setback down to a 40’ setback for 65 horizontal feet on Our Phase 4 
Land.  The existing 60’ setback will now be roughly 105 horizontal feet & be fully on QT’s Property.  The rest of the site 
will maintain the current undulating pattern as can be Evidenced in the attached document titled, “Carefree Crossings 
Setback Lines.” 
 
Should you have any questions, or wish to discuss further, please do not hesitate to contact Casey Mahoney @ 
(602) 717-2483 or cmahoney@arizonacommercial.com 
 
Thank you.
