Project Summary:
1.
The applicant on behalf of the property owner is requesting a zone change with overlay from
Rural-43 SUP to C-3 CUPD for an existing commercial self-storage facility that has operated on
this site for 20 years. The owner of the property is making this request because the site is
presently subject to an SUP that is set to expire on October 17, 2026. The owner is seeking
permanent entitlement, which he asserts will allow him to continue operation and make the
property more marketable or more favorable for annexation into Town of Gilbert in the future.
2.
On October 17, 2001, the Board approved an SUP in the Rural-43 zoning district for a commercial
self-storage facility set to expire in 25 years (Z2000017). On January 29, 2013, the Board approved
a modification of conditions for new wall signs and perimeter wall signs to market the facility
from the adjacent freeway that’s north of the site (Z2013082). With the widening of Lindsay Rd.
by the Town of Gilbert in 2022 the office building that was part of the original SUP site plan was
removed, and a temporary office was placed near the site’s southeast corner. The applicant first
applied for this zone change request on November 19, 2025 and staff held a TAC meeting to
discuss initial review on January 6, 2026.
3.
The self-storage facility is open Monday – Saturday 9 am to 6 pm. Like most self-storage facilities
customers have access codes to access the site daily any time of day. C-3 CUPD zoning will not
limit hours of business operation. This facility does have a live-in caretaker along with two
employees. The existing site consists of six buildings, four of which are in the center of the facility
with garage doors to access each individual storage units. All of the buildings are constructed
using corrugated metal painted off-white color with red trim. Along the back of the lot there are
RV storage stalls with a shade canopy. There are ten parking spaces with two adjacent to the
street (one of which is ADA accessible space). The majority of the site is screened by solid fencing
over 6’ in height and chain link fencing with attached screening. Most of the site that is part of the
commercial operation is paved. It should be noted that this request does not include a precise
site plan and the property owner will pursue a Plan of Development with a site plan after the
approval of this zone change request.
4.
This request has a CUPD zoning overlay for this site, see table on the next page. Most of the C-3
development standards will be observed. However, the owner is requesting to reduce the depth
of the north side setback from 10’ adjacent to a rural zoning district to 0’; because there are
existing buildings along the north property line and the parcel to the north is vacant and owned
by the Roosevelt Water District to service the adjacent Roosevelt Canal. The owner is also
requesting to vary the screening requirements to include not only 6’ tall solid fencing but to
include chain link fencing with attached screening materials and buildings to reflect what exists
on this site. Staff is recommending as a condition of approval that the CUPD limit entitled
commercial uses on site until sewer is available on site to self-storage facilities and ancillary uses
or use that according to MCESD can have wastewater disposal accommodated via on-site septic
system.

Adopted Plan:

Gilbert’s General Plan (ratified August 2020): This plan designates the land uses of this site as
Industrial. The Industrial classification designates areas for a variety of industrial activities,
ranging from light manufacturing, warehousing, offices, contractor’s yards, laboratories,
research/development, and screened outdoor storage. The existing commercial self-storage
facility is a screened facility in concert with the general plan.
Public Participation Summary:
9.
The applicant sent notifications by first class mail to interested parties and adjacent property
owners within 300’ of the subject parcel. Signs were posted on the site, in accordance with
applicable regulations. During this process the applicant held a virtual neighborhood meeting, but
no one responded to the invitation to this meeting, according to the applicant’s Citizen Resulst
Report. As of the writing of this report, neither applicant nor staff have received any support or
opposition from the public. The Town of Gilbert were informed about this request, but staff have
not received any concerns about this request.
Outstanding Concerns from Reviewing Agencies:
10.
N/A
Staff Analysis:
11.
This site has been a commercial storage facility offering mini-storage and RV Storage for nearly
20 years with a SUP. Because the site is fully developed and utilized by the local area a permanent
entitlement with this zone change request is reasonable. Additionally, the site being located on a
major arterial street near a freeway makes this a prime commercial location. The area has
transitioned from rural uses to a predominance of industrial commerce parks since this SUP was
first approved. Thus staff is in support of this request to C3-CUPD and encourages the
Commission to recommend approval of this request. However, until such time as sewer is
available to the site, it is appropriate to limit the entitled uses to those where wastewater disposal
can be accommodated via on-site septic systems.
Z250037

Recommendation:
12.
Staff recommends the Commission adopt a motion recommending that the Board of Supervisors
approve Z250037 subject to the following conditions ‘a’ – ‘g’:
a.
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Zoning Exhibit
entitled “Arizona Self Storage at Lindsay“, consisting of one full-size sheet, dated March
5, 2026, and stamped received March 10, 2026, except as modified by the following
conditions. Staff may determine slight refinements to remain in substantial conformance
with the approved site plan. Minor and major amendments to the site plan will be
determined in accordance with Chapter 3 of the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance.
b.
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Narrative Report
entitled “AZ Self Storage at Lindsay Road”, consisting of four pages, dated March 9, 2026,
and stamped received March 10, 2026, except as modified by the following conditions.
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.
The following Planning Engineering conditions shall apply:
1.
No new site improvements are being proposed with this request. If any new site
improvements or grading are proposed, then detailed Grading & Drainage Plans
must be submitted with any Plan of Development and associated building permits
on this site.
2.
The applicant and/or the property owner shall contact the Town of Gilbert
regarding access, right-of-way, and improvements required for Lindsay Rd.
3.
Due the site’s location near the Loop 202 San Tan Frwy. the applicant and/or the
property
owner
must
notify
ADOT
via
the
Red
Letter
Process,
RedLetter@azdot.gov.
e.
The following C-3 CUPD development standards shall apply:
1.
There shall be no interior side setbacks adjacent to rural or residential zoned
property.
2.
There shall be a minimum of 6’ tall solid wall, chain link fencing with attached view
obscuring materials or buildings used for screening of the site’s commercial uses.
3.
Entitled uses are limited to storage facilities and ancillary uses or use that
according to MCESD can have wastewater disposal accommodated via on-site
septic system until such time as sewer is available to the site.
Z250037
Page 8 of 8
f.
Noncompliance with any of the conditions assigned to the approval of this Zone Change
by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors may be grounds for revocation in
accordance with the requirements and procedures as set forth in the Maricopa County
Zoning Ordinance.
g.
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
may be considered for revocation 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.

1.
REQUEST
Upfront Planning & Entitlements, LLC is pleased to submit for your consideration a rezone request
on approximately 5-acres along Lindsay Road and just south of the Loop 202 Freeway in Gilbert.
The parcel is identified as Maricopa Assessor Parcel Number 304-55-016Q (the “Property”). The
Property is located within unincorporated Maricopa County (the “County”) surrounded by the Town
of Gilbert and is zoned as RU-43 with an existing SUP to operate a storage facility with outdoor
storage. The Property owner requests to rezone the parcel to C-3 CUPD, to continue the operation
of the existing storage facility.
2.
BACKGROUND
The Property was purchased by its current owner in 2006 as has been operating as a self-storage
facility ever since. There are 6 storage buildings on site, 20 RV stalls along the back of the Property
and parking alongside the east side of the Property on south Lindsay Road. The site currently has
an SUP to operate on the site and it will be expiring soon and the owner wishes to make the use
more permanent given its proximity now to the freeway and its proven history of being a good
neighbor. Maricopa County, in conjunction with the Town of Gilbert, demolished the office and
apartment as part of the Lindsay Road expansion project recently. We have a temporary container
office, and plan to build a replacement office in the future on the site with a POD request at a later
time. The caretaker’s quarters also has a temporary replacement for the time being until the office
and apartment are ready to be submitted as part of a POD for new buildings. An architect is working
with the owner to prepare these pending the rezone.

3.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL
The property owner requests a rezone to C-3 CUPD to allow for the continued use of the self-
storage facility on the site. Considering the Property’s location within the Town, it is a prime
site for annexation and the owner would like to assure the continued use of the site for
commercial storage uses. The hours of operation are 9:00am to 6:00pm Monday through
Saturday, closed Sunday. Access hours are 5:00am to 10:00pm, seven days per week. There are
security cameras on site to monitor the property after business hours as well as a live-in
manager who watches the property throughout the week and assists customers. There are two
employees on site. There is one sign advertising the name of the commercial self-storage facility
along Lindsay Road.
Penske truck rentals are planned to continue by this storage facility as was outlined in the previously
approved SUP. The Property is surrounded by solid walls on every side for security, with a gated
entrance along Lindsay Road. There are 6 self-storage buildings on site, all one story. Along the
north and south edges of the Property, the storage buildings are smaller, allowing for small,
economical storage units. The four self-storage buildings in the middle of the Property are larger
with garage door access for each storage units. All buildings are constructed using corrugated
metal and are painted off-white with red trim. Along the back of the Property there are 20
covered RV stalls. The site typically has up to 20-30 visits per day.
