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.
2.
Based on the conceptual design of the information submitted, changes to the site
layout may be necessitated by the final engineering design of the project.
3.
Detailed Grading & Drainage Plans sealed by a Civil Engineer registered in the state
of Arizona must be submitted with the application for Building Permits.
4.
Any portion of the septic system shall be located at least 25-feet away from retention
basins and shall not empty onto adjacent parcels.
5.
For final design / building permits application retention for the 100 year 2-hour storm
must be provided.
e.
The following Maricopa County Environmental Services Department (MCESD) conditions
shall apply:
1.
A Notice of Intent to Discharge application for an onsite wastewater treatment
(septic) system is required for any construction. Application must be submitted to
the MCESD Onsite Wastewater Program.
2.
Wastewater is not permitted to discharge to an adjacent parcel’s septic system.
f.
This SUP shall expire on August 7, 2034, or upon termination of the use for a period of 90
or more days, whichever occurs first. All site improvements associated with the special
use permit shall be removed within 90 days of such expiration or termination of use.
g.
Prior to occupying the existing residence or any portion thereof for any use associated
with the SUP, the applicant shall obtain a Building Permit to retrofit the existing residence
to meet current commercial building code requirements as applicable and shall obtain a
Certificate of Occupancy for the retrofitted building prior to occupancy.
h.
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.
i.
Noncompliance with any of the conditions assigned to the approval of this SUP 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.
August 7, 2024
Z2024006
Page 3 of 3
j.
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 revert to the zoning that existed on the date of application in accordance with
Maricopa County regulations. 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 or expiration of the SUP. The SUP enhances the value of the
property above its value as of the date the SUP is granted and reverting to the prior zoning
results in the same value of the property as if the SUP had never been granted.

Project Summary:
1.
This applicant requests to establish a small, two-acre RV Park consisting of six spaces for the
exclusive benefit of employees of the nearby Rancho de los Caballeros Golf Club & Resort. Each
RV space will be set up to have dedicated electric, water and septic facilities. The RV Park will
serve as a temporary residence on-site for employees during the resort’s operational season,
which is approximately October through March. The RV Park is not intended for guests of the
resort.
2.
The 320-acre parent parcel itself is owned by Rancho de los Caballeros Resort & Golf Club (RDLC)
which is located on a separate parcel to the north separated by State Trust Land. The 320-acre
parent parcel is minimally improved, with one single family residence and one ranch storage
structure. The existing single-family residence appears in historical aerial photography as early
as 1996 and per the applicant’s narrative serves as a residence for workers of the Resort. The
proposed RV spaces will be near this residence. The ranch storage structure appears on historical
aerial photographs as early as 1976.
3.
The following development standards are proposed for the RV park:
•
Each travel trailer or RV space shall have an area of not less than 1,250 square feet and a
width of not less than 25 feet. Only one travel trailer or RV shall be placed on each space.
•
Travel trailers, RVs and accessory structures shall be located to provide a minimum setback
of not less than five feet from all space lines. Accessory structures shall not be permitted in
overnight parks on travel trailer or RV spaces.
•
The location of mobile homes on travel trailer or RV spaces shall be prohibited.
•
The minimum distance between a travel trailer and any building in the same travel trailer park
shall be ten feet. The minimum distance between an RV and any building in the same travel
trailer park shall be ten feet.
•
Each travel trailer or RV space shall set back from lot lines in common with street lines a
distance of not less than 20 feet and from all other lot lines a distance of not less than ten
feet.
•
Site screening for the RV park and individual RV spaces is requested to be waived as RDLC
owns the rest of the parcel adjacent the RV park, and the RV spaces are setback more than
1,000 feet from the nearest property boundary.
•
The height, yard, and intensity of use regulations of the C-2 Zoning District shall apply to
buildings located in travel trailer or RV parks. However, no additional buildings are proposed
with this application.
•
Service buildings to house toilet, bathing and other sanitation facilities and utilities shall be
provided as required by the Maricopa County Health Code. Said facilities, if required, shall be
completed prior to use of the park. However, no additional sanitation facilities are proposed
with this application. Each RV space will have septic system connection to the existing septic
system on site.
•
Minimum distances or setbacks required herein shall be the shortest of horizontal dimensions
measured from the nearest portion of the sidewall of a travel trailer or RV including pullouts,
tipouts, or portable affixed awnings.
•
Destination Park / spaces shall require the issuance of a building permit prior to the use of
the park/space by a travel trailer or RV.

RDLC holds a grazing lease and two grazing Special Land Use Permits issued by Arizona State
Land Department. While those instruments do not grant public access, they do permit employees
of Caballeros Resort to access and cross the State Trust Lands covered by those instruments
because they are a necessary part of Caballeros’ grazing operations. RDLC has demonstrated
that this development has legal access to and through the subject State Trust Lands pursuant to
its grazing lease and grazing Special Land Use Permits.
Adopted Plans:
County Plan:
Vision 2030 Comprehensive Rural Development Area (0-1 d.u./ac)
Unincorporated areas outside of county area plans are designated Rural
Development Area and are only appropriate for rural land uses and rural
zoning.
Municipal Plan:
Town of Wickenburg General Plan 2025 – Rural Residential (.25 – 1
d.u./ac) multi-acre parcels including State Trust Lands with livestock
privileges and limited agricultural uses.
Public Participation Summary:
7.
The applicant 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 within 300 feet
of the subject site and area interested parties. Signs were posted on the site in accordance with
applicable regulations. Staff received a public participation results report in accordance with
County requirements, and the applicant did not receive any concerns or issues from interested
parties. The applicant also provides that no negative feedback had been received by the Town of
Wickenburg. To date, staff has not received any letters of support or opposition concerning this
request.
Outstanding Concerns from Reviewing Agencies:
8.
N/A
Staff Analysis:
9.
Staff supports the request due to the remote location and minimum impact of the proposed 2-
acre RV site for 6 RV spaces. The RV Park is well within the site owned by RDLC and is intended
for the exclusive use of employees of the RDLC resort. The RV Park is setback more than 1000’
from the nearest property boundary, with no neighboring residences. Further, lack of comment
and concern from stakeholders, including Arizona State Land Department and Town of
Wickenburg, allows staff to be comfortable with the recommended approval.
Recommendation:
10.
Staff recommends the Commission adopt a motion recommending that the Board of Supervisors
approve Z2024006 subject to the following conditions ‘a’ – ‘j’:
a.
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Site Plan entitled
“Sun C RV Park“, consisting of 1 full-size sheets, dated 6/10/24, and stamped received
6/14/24, except as modified by the following conditions. Staff may determine slight
Z2024006
Page 7 of 8
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 “Special Use Permit Request for Sun C RV Park”, consisting of 4 pages, dated
6/24/24, and stamped received 6/25/24, except as modified by the following conditions.
c.
The total number of RV spaces shall not exceed six.
d.
The following Planning Engineering conditions shall apply:
1.
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.
2.
Based on the conceptual design of the information submitted, changes to the site
layout may be necessitated by the final engineering design of the project.
3.
Detailed Grading & Drainage Plans sealed by a Civil Engineer registered in the state
of Arizona must be submitted with the application for Building Permits.
4.
Any portion of the septic system shall be located at least 25-feet away from
retention basins and shall not empty onto adjacent parcels.
5.
For final design / building permits application retention for the 100 year 2-hour
storm must be provided.
e.
The following Maricopa County Environmental Services Department (MCESD) conditions
shall apply:
1.
A Notice of Intent to Discharge application for an onsite wastewater treatment
(septic) system is required for any construction. Application must be submitted to the
MCESD Onsite Wastewater Program.
2.
Wastewater is not permitted to discharge to an adjacent parcel’s septic system.
f.
This SUP shall expire on August 7, 2034, or upon termination of the use for a period of 90
or more days, whichever occurs first. All site improvements associated with the special
use permit shall be removed within 90 days of such expiration or termination of use.
g.
Prior to occupying the existing residence or any portion thereof for any use associated
with the SUP, the applicant shall obtain a Building Permit to retrofit the existing residence
to meet current commercial building code requirements as applicable and shall obtain a

h.
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
Z2024006
Page 8 of 8
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.
i.
Noncompliance with any of the conditions assigned to the approval of this SUP 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.
j.
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 revert to the zoning that existed on the date of application in accordance with
Maricopa County regulations. 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 or expiration of the SUP. The SUP enhances the value of the
property above its value as of the date the SUP is granted and reverting to the prior zoning
results in the same value of the property as if the SUP had never been granted.

PURPOSE OF REQUEST
Matrix New World Engineering, Land Surveying and Landscape Architecture, PC (Matrix) has prepared
this submittal for Maricopa County Planning & Development Department to apply for a Special Use Permit
for Sun C RV Park (Case No. Z2024006), which is associated with, and part of, the Rancho de los
Caballeros Ranch and Golf Club (RDLC) property.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL
The Project includes six (6) newly constructed RV spaces/spots, each to have dedicated electric, water,
and sewer hook-ups. The RV Park will provide RDLC employees with a space/opportunity for temporary
residence on-site when they work in support of RDLC operations.
RELATIONSHIP TO SURROUNDING PROPERTIES
The area surrounding RDLC is zoned Rural-43, therefore, the proposed RV Park will have no impact to
the surrounding community (i.e., there will be no parties affected by this project), or public utilities as
described in the Citizen Participation Plan. All proposed improvements will be within Rancho de los
Caballeros property bounds.
Following is a summary for meeting / not meeting (with justification) Maricopa County Zone Ordinance
Development Standards for travel trailer or RV parks (1301.1.17):
1. Each travel trailer or RV space shall have an area of not less than 1,250 square feet and a width of
not less than 25 feet. Only one travel trailer or RV shall be placed on each space. {met with proposed
design, see Updated Site Plan}
2. Travel trailers, RVs and accessory structures shall be located to provide a minimum setback of
not less than five feet from all space lines. Accessory structures shall not be permitted in overnight
parks on travel trailer or RV spaces. {met with proposed design, see Updated Site Plan}
3. The location of mobile homes on travel trailer or RV spaces shall be prohibited. {met with
proposed design, see Updated Site Plan}
4. The minimum distance between a travel trailer and any building in the same travel trailer park
shall be ten feet. The minimum distance between an RV and any building in the same travel trailer
park shall be ten feet. {met with proposed design, see Updated Site Plan}
5. Each travel trailer or RV space shall set back from lot lines in common with street lines a distance
of not less than 20 feet and from all other lot lines a distance of not less than ten feet. {met with
proposed design, see Updated Site Plan}
6. The front yard and street side yard areas shall be landscaped in accordance with a landscape
and irrigation plan approved by the zoning inspector. When a fence of less than six feet is
proposed, the landscape plan shall include adequate trees to provide screening of the park.
Because of its remote location, and since the project area/property is owned by RDLC,
there are no adjacent landowners, and occupants of existing house and RV spaces will all
be employed by RDLC, a landscape and irrigation plan are not included as part of this
SUP application. The intent is to leave the natural desert vegetation in place as RDLC is
its own neighbor in all instances and owns all property adjacent to and surrounding the
proposed site.
3
7. The travel trailer or RV park shall be screened from surrounding lots by a solid fence or wall of
not less than three- and one-half feet or more than six feet in height when located in a front yard
or street side yard and by a solid fence or wall six feet in height when located in any other yard.
Screen walls shall be located on the interior edge of the required front and street side yard areas.
Because of its remote location, and since project area/property is owned by RDLC, there
are no adjacent landowners, and occupants of existing house and RV spaces will all be
employed by RDLC, screening as described is not included as part of this SUP application.
The intent is to leave the natural desert vegetation in place as RDLC is its own neighbor
in all instances and owns all property adjacent to and surrounding the proposed site.
8. The height, yard, and intensity of use regulations of the C-2 Zoning District shall apply to buildings
located in travel trailer or RV parks.
Because of its remote location, and since project area/property is owned by RDLC, there
are no adjacent landowners, and occupants of existing house and RV spaces will all be
employed by RDLC, the height, yard, and intensity of use regulations of the C-2 Zoning
District application to building located in an RV Park are not included as part of this SUP
application. The intent is to leave the natural desert vegetation in place as RDLC is its
own neighbor in all instances and owns all property adjacent to and surrounding the
proposed site.
9. Service buildings to house toilet, bathing and other sanitation facilities and utilities shall be
provided as required by the Maricopa County Health Code. Said facilities, if required, shall be
completed prior to use of the park.
Each proposed RV space (6 total) and the existing house will include a dedicated
connection to the proposed new septic system.
10. Minimum distances or setbacks required herein shall be the shortest of horizontal dimensions
measured from the nearest portion of the sidewall of a travel trailer or RV including pullouts, tip-
outs, or portable affixed awnings. {met with proposed design, see Updated Site Plan}
11. Destination park / spaces shall require the issuance of a building permit prior to the use of the
park/space by a travel trailer or RV. {will be submitted for and obtained following SUP approval}
LOCATION AND ACCESSIBILITY
Matrix has requested and received a traffic study waiver given the remote location of the project
(approximately 1.93 acres wholly within an approximate 320-acre parcel), minimal traffic/trips to and from
the project area.
The site is legally accessed per Arizona State Land Department agreements/easements included with
this submittal.
Proposed site paving includes stabilized decomposed granite in locations as presented on the Updated
Site Plan. Each of the six RV locations includes one (1) space for an RV, to be situated within the
stabilized decomposed granite parking area identified within each RV location.

CIRCULATION SYSTEM
No other proposed improvements or dedications are included as part of this Special Use Permit request.
DEVELOPMENT SCHEDULE
Development of the RV Park is anticipated to begin August 2024, with target to be available for RDLC
employees starting October 1, 2024.
COMMUNITY FACILITIES AND SERVICES
Amenities in the area include the RDLC facility and associated activities.
PUBLIC UTILITIES AND SERVICES
The existing water distribution system currently serves one existing residence. A new waterline is
proposed for connection to the existing distribution system and extended to the new 6 RV spot
connections. Groundwater is obtained from a small production well, (Arizona Department of Water
Resources Registration No. 55-804256), having a pump capacity of approximately 2 gallons per minute
(gpm). A public water system (PWS) is defined as consisting of at least 15 service connections, or to serve
at least 25 people for a minimum of 60 days per year. By this definition, the Project does not meet the criteria
of a PWS.
Design daily water demand includes the following:
1) Daily water demand per RV space = 100 gallons x 6 = 600 gallons per day
2) Daily water demand for residence = 450 gallons per day
Sanitation facilities required by Maricopa County Zone Ordinance Development Standards will be provided
as dedicated connections to the proposed new septic system for the existing house and proposed RV
spaces.

STORM WATER QUALITY REVIEW/INFORMATION
13. The subject site is not located within the County’s Urbanized Area; and thus
will not require a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Permit (SWPPP) from the
County. This does NOT preclude the requirement to obtain a Notice of Intent
to Discharge (NOID) from the State (ADEQ), as may be required.
The following stipulations will apply:
1.
Engineering review of planning and/or zoning cases is for conceptual design
only. All development and engineering design shall be in conformance with
Page 3 of 5
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.
2.
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
project.
3.
Detailed Grading and Drainage Plans sealed by a Civil Engineer registered in
the state of Arizona must be submitted with the application for Building Permits.
Please contact me with any questions.
