Project Summary:
1.
The applicant is requesting a zone change with overlay from Rural-43 to C-2 CUPD for the entire
8.45-acre site to accommodate a self-storage facility. A concurrent request, also for the entire
8.45 acres, includes an SUP for covered outdoor RV storage. The applicant has provided a precise
plan for development. This is the least intense entitlement combination that can accommodate
the request. The applicant revised an earlier request for C-3 zoning. The 8.45-acre parcel is
located at the southwest corner of Carefree Hwy. and 10th St. in the Desert Hills area. According
to the applicant, this proposed zoning supports the commercial land use designation that is
Z250006 & SU250023
Page 2 of 13
outlined in the Daisy Mountain – New River Area Plan, which recognizes Carefree Hwy. as a scenic
commercial corridor that should be designed to complement the rural character of the area.
2.
The property is within the Carefree Highway Scenic Corridor (CHSC). The CHSC is not regulatory
but does present design guidelines to preserve the area’s scenic views and limit the impact of
any commercial development along this corridor. The Daisy Mountain – New River Area Plan
designates both sides of Carefree Hwy. for future commercial uses within a scenic corridor,
leaving most of the Desert Hills and New River areas reserved for rural residential land uses. The
commercial designation along Carefree Hwy. is intended to be neighborhood-oriented services
as reflected in residents’ and stakeholders’ recommendation at the time of Scenic Corridor study.
The Scenic Corridor does call out preferred uses such as mini storage but specifically excludes
outdoor storage. Per the applicant’s narrative, the proposed self-storage facility and outdoor RV
storage is intended to serve the needs of the surrounding residences. An on-site office will hold
daily business hours, and the site storage will be available by tenant 24 hours a day with keypad
access at the main entry gate. Enclosed self-storage is proposed along the perimeter of the site
and within the center of the site. There are 27 enclosed self-storage stalls, 26 covered RV stalls,
and 101 enclosed RV stalls. In the center of the site are 119 covered RV stalls and 26 enclosed
RV stalls. Parking is provided in front of the office and within the site, including ADA spaces
outside the office and within the site. An RV dump vault will be periodically emptied and will not
be connected to on-site septic. Two driveway entrances are proposed on 10th St, with the
northernmost driveway to serve as emergency access and the southern driveway to serve as a
full driveway entrance to the site. The full access driveway, office and parking are located at this
southern driveway along with the office’s septic system located at the southeast corner of the
site, immediately to the north of an adjacent residence’s private driveway.
3.
A Commercial Unit Plan of Development (CUPD) overlay is requested to limit the commercial
zoning for a self-storage facility. The separate SUP is requested to allow outdoor RV boat storage
that otherwise would not be allowed in the C-2 zoning district. A time-limitation may be placed on
the SUP. The CUPD proposes to vary several C-2 development standards and to incorporate
modified CHAC design guidelines. See table on the next page. It should be noted that since the
applicant is proposing a site plan (required plan of development, POD) and although the zone
change is a legislative approval, the POD is administratively approved. Therefore, POD approval
is contingent on rezoning approval.
4.
The applicant is requesting more restrictive standards than what is required in the C-2 zoning
district to compensate for several CHSC design guidelines that will not be met. The CUPD will
limit maximum height to 30’ (rather than 40’) and to increase the minimum front setback to 45’
(rather than 25’). An undulating setback from Carefree Hwy. is otherwise encouraged in the CHSC.
This 45’ setback will be used for site retention and native desert landscaping that includes
creosote bush, desert-adapted shrubs, and drought-tolerant trees. A minimum 20’ setback from
adjacent commercial parcels is requested (rather than 0’ or 3’). Additionally, a maximum 45% lot
coverage is requested (rather than 60%). These CUPD restrictions intend to limit site massing /
bulk of structure. A min. 20’ rear setback is proposed from the residential parcels to the south, a
decrease of the required 25’ setback. The CHSC identifies a minimum 10-foot-wide landscape
buffer the screen commercial uses from residential areas, site retention is proposed along the
south that will also be developed with native desert landscaping. The proposal will utilize dark-
sky compliant lighting with low glare. Staff suggests further mitigation with conditions requiring
outdoor lighting be in conformance with Section 1112 of the Zoning Ordinance, including any
outdoor lighting under the roof of open shade structures. Outdoor lighting must be shielded within
one foot of the light source directing illumination downward at least twenty degrees below the
horizonal plane at the bottom of the light source and so as not shine onto any adjacent property
Z250006 & SU250023
Page 3 of 13
in rural or residential zoning districts. Further there shall be no indoor lighting source above 20’
in height allowed to illuminate exterior from the building and any indoor lighting not emanate
outward towards outdoors facing windows. Using windows for any advertisement is prohibited.
A 6’ tall site wall is proposed along Carefree Hwy.

Adopted Plans:
8.
Phoenix General Plan (adopted March 4, 2015): This general plan designates the site as
Residential with (0-2) dwelling units per acre. City of Phoenix commented that the proposed C-2
CUPD SUP is not consistent with Peripheral Areas C and D General Plan designation; not
consistent with the North Black Canyon Corridor Plan; minor General Plan Amendment required
to remove the site from the Infrastructure Limit Line, development should conform to the C-2 SP
development standards; recommendation for dedication of 30’ multi-use trail easement along the
north side of the site, request stipulations consistent with the Street Classification Map
consistent with improvements to the west and east of the site within City of Phoenix jurisdiction,
10th St. improvements, bicycle infrastructure improvements, sustainable stormwater
infrastructure, and development should make accommodation for sustainable standards.
9.
Daisy Mountain – New River Area Plan (Updated November 20, 2019): Site falls within the
Commercial designation.
10.
Carefree Highway Scenic Corridor (Established 1997, Updated August 2008) Created to guide
development to preserve unique views landscapes and rural character, the CHSC discourages tall
structures, unsightly and overbearing signs, dull perimeter walls, intense lighting and unattractive
buildings. The applicant’s design proposal does not meet the following policy goals:
Commercial development only when its demand can be justified.
Commercial rezones limited to C-O or C-S zoning only to help manage specific uses and
implement Scenic Corridor concepts. At the time of zone change, all neighborhood retail
and neighborhood office uses should demonstrate adequate infrastructure services.
A linear design is proposed.
Neighborhood retail compatible with adjacent residential development.
Outdoor storage specifically excluded from preferred land uses.
Limiting new commercial uses to neighborhood services to serve the immediate area.
1.1 Open space buffers along Carefree Highway and between incompatible land uses

feet in length staggered and undulated.
12.3 Native stonework preferred site screening for perimeter walls.
Public Participation Summary:
11.
The applicant has complied with the minimum requirements of Maricopa County’s citizen review
process with the required posting of the site and notification to adjacent property owners within
300 feet of the subject parcel at the time of application filing via first-class mail. Areas of interest
were also notified at application filing. The applicant provided a Public Participation Results
Report that details the concerns received and how they addressed them in their design proposal.
The results provide rebuttal of each comment for the benefit of staff. In recent conversations with
staff, the applicant is currently reaching out to the opposed parties individually to hear concerns.
12.
The results report indicates that no neighborhood meeting was held. Staff continues to receive
rapidly growing community opposition to the cases. A petition currently being sent to staff
mention concern about commercial development on this site; the proliferation of self-storage and
RV storage facilities where 2 others are already operating on Carefree Hwy.; how the request is
not compatible with the area’s rural character; and site illumination concerns, that the proposed
use does not serve the immediate community as encouraged by the CHSC. Additional concerns
include the site’s massing of walls surrounding the site, establishment of a permanent C-2
commercial zone, lack of control over future commercial development after zone change
approval and how this will affect the area’s traffic patterns. As of 9/5/2025, staff received a total
of 108 petition signatures in opposition to both the zone change and Special Use Permit
applications.
Outstanding Concerns from Reviewing Agencies:
13.
During the review process, staff received comments from the City of Phoenix. Even though the
site is not in Phoenix and the property owner is not interested in annexing the site into Phoenix,
the City provided recommendations. Most of the recommendations concern the uses
Z250006 & SU250023
Page 9 of 13
incompatibility with the City’s general plan land use designation and with site design. Some of
the recommendations will be incorporated, such as providing a multi-use trail along the Highway,
into the future development on this site. However, since the property owner is not interested in
seeking annexation into Phoenix, most of the City’s recommendations were not applicable to this
site.
14.
The Town of Carefree submitted a letter clarifying that none of their water service will serve the
site.
Staff Analysis:
15.
In general, staff could support commercial zoning along Carefree Hwy. consistent with the area
plan’s caveat that commercial be limited to neighborhood commercial uses serving the local
market. Although the applicant has indicated he intends to provide RV storage and indoor storage
facilities for the local community, staff notes the immediate Desert Hills neighborhoods are all
acre-plus large lots able to accommodate on-site RV storage and accessory storage buildings. It
seems reasonable to assume the proposed RV storage and self-storage facility will serve
customers from the larger community such as the more moderate-density residential
subdivisions within the City of Phoenix and not the local Desert Hills neighborhoods. There is
also argument that the Desert Hills / New River community is experiencing a concentration of RV
storage related uses. There are existing RV storage facilities less than a mile to the east of the
subject parcel and immediately north of the subject site across Carefree Highway.
16.
The proposal continues to receive rapidly growing community opposition. Although it is not
required, a neighborhood meeting, if held, would have been beneficial for the applicant to address
community concerns and was recommended by staff to address public comments on the
proposed development.
17.
The proposed development would follow similar development patterns for similar land uses along
Carefree Hwy.
18.
For the reasons outlined in the report, staff recommends the Commission adopt an indefinite
continuance of the CUPD and SUP to allow the applicant time to address neighborhood
opposition.
19.
However, if the Commission chooses to adopt a motion to recommend approval of Z250006,
staff offers the following conditions ‘a’ – ‘l’:
a.
A Plan of Development is approved subject to site plan entitled “Pink Door Carefree
Highway“, consisting of one full-size sheet, dated June 4, 2025, and stamped received
June 18, 2025. The Plan of Development may be amended administratively under
separate application as long as the amendment complies with the established CUPD
development standards as approved by the Board of Supervisors. 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 “Pink Door Carefree Highway”, consisting of 5 pages, dated June 9, 2025, and

and current engineering policies, standards and best practices at the time of
application or construction.
8.
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.
9.
Maricopa County does not supply water, fire or sewer services. It is the
applicant/owner’s responsibility to coordinate and secure water, fire and sewer
services for the site.
10.
Sealed final Grading and Drainage (Site Infrastructure) plans and Sealed Final
drainage report must be submitted with the application for Building Permits.
d.
Prior to issuance of a building permit, written confirmation will be required from the

including any outdoor lighting under the roof of open shade structures, and must be
shielded within one foot of the light source directing illumination downward at least twenty
degrees below the horizonal plane at the bottom of the light source and so as not shine
onto any adjacent property in rural or residential zoning districts. Further there shall be
no indoor lighting source above 20’ in height allowed to illuminate exterior from the
building.
i.
Indoor lighting shall not emanate outward towards outdoors facing windows. Using
windows for any advertisement is prohibited.
j.

Zoning Ordinance.
k.
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.
l.
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.
20.
However, if the Commission chooses to adopt a motion to recommend approval of SU250023,
staff offers the following conditions ‘a’ – ‘h’:

Location: Southwest Corner of East Carefree Highway and North 10th Street
Case Number: Z250004

Purpose of Request
It is being requested to rezone the properties from Rural-43 to C-2 with a CUPD Overlay. This is being
requested to allow this property to be a traditional mini-storage facility. A separate, but concurrent
application will be applied to allow RV & Boat storage as a Special Use.
Description of Proposal
The proposed project is to construct an RV and Self Storage Facility on currently vacant land. The
property is located on the sites known as APN 211-74-012B and 211-74-016 or the southwest corner of
East Carefree Highway and North 10th Street. The parcels are on unincorporated Maricopa County land.
The site is currently zoned ‘Rural-43’. The office located on site will have daily business hours and the site
storage will be available by tenants 24 hours per day via keypad access at the main entry gate.
The storage will include enclosed self storage in three locations along the perimeter of the site and
covered and enclosed RV storage along the perimeter of the site and within the center of the site. There
are 27 enclosed self storage stalls, 26 covered RV stalls, and 101 enclosed RV stalls. In the center of the
site are 119 covered RV stalls and 26 enclosed RV stalls. Also included are an RV wash, air, and dump
station - this will have an independent pit that can be pumped periodically and will not be connected to
the site septic system. A sales office will contain a restroom for its one employee and typically one
customer and will be connected to the septic system. Employee and customer parking is provided
directly north of the office (in the southeast corner of the site).
The color palette and material selection for the buildings proposed on site will include white
pre-engineered metal cladding panels and standard gray CMU. The CMU will make up the building stem
walls and site perimeter walls. Signage for the project will be located on the site wall facing the
northeast corner of the site and on the east facing wall of the office building. THe signage will be a
deferred submittal.
Relationship to Surrounding Properties
The property to the North is zoned C-2 CUPD with SUP for RV & boat storage (similar to our proposal)
and the West Property functioning as a retail center. The properties to the East and the South are zoned
Rural-43 with the East Property functioning as a vacant lot and the South Properties functioning as single
family residences.
Location and Accessibility
The property is a corner site on two major streets, but the site access is located off of 10th Street. This
was done to reduce slowdown and congestion on Carefree Highway.
EDIFICE
922 N. Gilbert Rd, Suite 103
Mesa, AZ 85203
T 480.580.1116
Circulation System
The site circulation consists of a loop road within the property with one entry / exit and one exit only.
Both driveways are located off of 10th Street and are distanced as far as possible from each other with
the proposed development. With the project facilitating RV maneuverability, the drive aisles are greatly
oversized to allow for the user’s ease of access.
The required onsite parking is as follows: Warehouse Uses - 1 per 900 square feet of floor area = 84,707
SF / 900 SF = 95 parking spaces. 881 sf office - 1 space per 250 sf = 3.5 round up to 4
6209 sf mini storage - 1 space per 900 sf = 6.8 round up 7. Total required 11 of which 1 must be ADA.
The proposed project is providing 14 standard parking spaces (2 outside of the gates and 12 inside of the
gates), 5 accessible parking spaces (1 outside of the gates and 4 inside of the gates), and 272 RV parking
spaces. This totals 291 parking spaces, far exceeding the required parking spaces.
Development Schedule
This project is intended to be a single phase development. A lot combination of the two parcels will be
applied for after zoning approval is obtained.
Public Utilities and Services
Water and sewer will be accomplished through well water and a septic system. The septic system will
serve the office space, which will have one employee and typically one customer during operating hours.
The RV wash / air / dump bay will have an enclosed pit that will be manually pumped and will not be
connected to the septic system. Power will be provided by Arizona Public Service (APS). Fire protection
will be provided by Desert Hills Fire Department.
Compliance with General Plan
The City of Phoenix has the area slated for Large Lot 1 - 2 Dwelling Units Per Acre. Although this is not
residential, the adjacent commercial properties are also planned the same on the General Plan. This
development will complement and cater to the surrounding residential planning.
The Daisy Mountain/New River Area Plan designates this property for commercial use. This proposed
development aligns with that vision by providing a self-storage and RV storage facility that serves the
needs of the surrounding community. The site’s landscaping will reinforce the Desert Hills character by
incorporating native desert plantings, including creosote bush, desert-adapted shrubs, and
drought-tolerant trees, consistent with the area's natural typology.

The Carefree Highway Scenic Corridor Plan requires an average building setback of 100 feet from the
north property line, with no portion encroaching closer than 50 feet. Our proposal includes a reduced
setback of 45 feet at its nearest point. To address this deviation and uphold the intent of the corridor
plan, we are incorporating several compensatory design measures. Specifically, we are increasing the
minimum building setback along the west property line from 3 feet to 20 feet, building setback on the
east property line from 10’ to 15’, reducing the maximum building height from 40 feet to 30 feet, and
decreasing the overall lot coverage from 60% to 45%. These modifications will reduce the scale and
massing of the development, lessen the visual prominence of built structures, and create opportunities
for enhanced landscaping and vegetation throughout the site. Although the proposed setback falls short
of the stated minimum, the combination of reduced building height, increased setbacks elsewhere, and
lower lot coverage will ensure that the overall visibility and impact of the development are minimized. In
doing so, we believe the project still achieves the underlying intent of the Scenic Corridor
Plan—preserving the open, visually unobtrusive character of the highway corridor.
The development along Carefree Highway has become more commercial over time and this
development will continue this trend. Building setbacks will be provided from the single family residents
to the south (20’) and from the retail development to the west (20’). The north side of the property will
maintain a 75’ proposed right of way and a 45’ proposed building setback line. This space will be used for
site retention and landscaping, providing the area with visual interest and character as well as align with
the development to the west.
Compliance with General Plan - Carefree Highway Scenic Corridor
While the Pink Door RV & Self Storage facility is located within the Carefree Highway Scenic Corridor and
the Daisy Mountain/New River planning area, it's important to note that these plans serve as
non-regulatory guidance frameworks, not mandatory zoning regulations. Our proposal aligns with the
intent of these plans by maintaining a low-profile, visually unobtrusive presence—utilizing dark-sky
compliant lighting, screened storage areas, and architectural treatments compatible with the desert
setting.
Self-storage and RV/boat facilities have historically been permitted in this corridor under Special Use
Permits with appropriate mitigation strategies. Our design includes perimeter landscaping, low-glare
lighting, and a single controlled access point, all of which respect the visual integrity of the corridor.
Moreover, unlike speculative retail or high-traffic commercial uses, this facility generates minimal daily
trips, does not require significant utility infrastructure, and offers a quiet, low-impact use that aligns
with rural expectations. Therefore, while we acknowledge the area's scenic and rural character, we
believe this facility reflects a balanced approach—honoring the spirit of the corridor’s vision while
accommodating a practical and community-serving land use.

Dear Mr. Johnson:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on Z250006. The applicant is requesting to rezone
approximately 8.45 acres located at the southwest corner of Carefree Highway and 10th Street (Parcel
Nos. 211-74-012B and 211-74-016) from RU-43 (Rural Zoning District – One Acre Per Dwelling Unit) to C-
3 CUPD (General Commercial, Commercial Plan of Development Overlay) to allow an RV and self-
service storage facility.
Sta; has reviewed the request and has the following comments and recommendations:
• The subject site is directly adjacent to a commercial center in Maricopa County zoned C-2 PD
CUPD (Intermediate Commercial, Planned Development Overlay, Commercial Plan of
Development) to the west and single-family residential in Maricopa County zoned RU-43 (One
Acre Per Dwelling Unit) to the south. To the east (across 10th Street) is vacant land in Maricopa
County zoned RU-43 PD (One Acre Per Dwelling Unit, Planned Development Overlay) and to the
north (across Carefree Highway) is a self-service storage warehouse in Maricopa County zoned C-
2 CUPD (Intermediate Commercial, Commercial Plan of Development).
• The subject site is not located within the City of Phoenix municipal boundaries; however, the site
is located within the City of Phoenix planning area. The subject site is designated “Residential 0 to
2 dwelling units per acre” on the City of Phoenix General Plan Land Use Map. Thus, the proposal
for C-3 CUPD zoning would not be consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map designation.
• The subject site is within the Desert View Village planning area of the City of Phoenix. Each village
within the City of Phoenix has a Village Planning Committee which includes residents and workers
of the community appointed by the Mayor and City Council. The Desert View Village Planning
Committee (VPC) meets on a monthly basis on the first Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. at the
Paradise Valley Community Center, Multi-Purpose Room, 17402 N. 40th Street, Phoenix, AZ. The
Desert View Village webpage with information about the village is available online, here:
https://www.phoenix.gov/administration/departments/pdd/planning-zoning/villages/desert-
view.html.
• The subject site is located within the Peripheral Areas C and D General Plan area and is
designated “Residential 0 to 2 dwelling units per acre” (page 11). The proposal for C-2 CUPD
2
zoning is not consistent with the Peripheral Areas C and D General Plan designation. This plan is
available online, here: https://www.phoenix.gov/administration/departments/pdd/planning-
zoning/villages/desert-view.html.
• The subject site is located within the North Black Canyon Corridor Plan (NBCCP) area. Sta; has
the following comments:
o The subject site is designated “Residential 0 to 2 dwelling units per acre” (page 6). The
proposal for C-2 CUPD zoning is not consistent with the NBCCP designation.
o The subject site is located within the Infrastructure Phasing Overlay (page 9), which was
created to discourage development outside of the Infrastructure Limit Line. The
Infrastructure Limit Line was an area created to encourage a concentration of
development within a defined growth corridor where municipal infrastructure would be
supported, and areas outside of the defined growth corridor would not have significant
expansion of municipal infrastructure until such time as the boundary restrictions of the
Infrastructure Limit Line are lifted. As development has occurred within the City of Phoenix
over the years in the surrounding area (outside of the Infrastructure Limit Line), minor
General Plan Amendments (GPAs) have been processed concurrently with rezoning
applications to remove sites from the Infrastructure Phasing Overlay and to extend the
Infrastructure Limit Line.
o Sta; would recommend the development comply with the design guidelines of the North
Black Canyon Overlay District (NBCOD) in accordance with Chapter 6, Section 654 of the
Phoenix Zoning Ordinance, which are consistent with the goals, policies, and
recommendations of the NBCCP. Specifically, the plan and overlay address colors and
materials of buildings and walls to be muted and blend, rather than contrast strongly, with
the surrounding desert environment. Section 654 (NBCOD) of the Phoenix Zoning
Ordinance is available online, here: https://phoenix.municipal.codes/ZO/654.
o This NBCCP is available online, here:
https://www.phoenix.gov/administration/departments/pdd/planning-zoning/publications-
plans-studies.html.
• The subject site abuts Carefree Highway, which was designated as a scenic corridor by the
Phoenix City Council in 1987. For commercial development, the City of Phoenix recommends a
120-foot setback from the centerline of Carefree Highway, consistent with the recommendations
of the 1987 Carefree Highway Scenic Corridor Design Policies, available online, here:
https://www.phoenix.gov/administration/departments/pdd/planning-zoning/villages/desert-
view.html.
• A self-service storage warehouse would require a minimum of C-2 SP (Intermediate Commercial,
Special Permit) zoning in the City of Phoenix and would be subject to the C-2 development
standards found in Chapter 6, Section 623 of the Phoenix Zoning Ordinance. If approved, the City
of Phoenix recommends consistency with the C-2 development standards in order to avoid the
potential for future non-conformities, should the property be annexed and served by the City of
Phoenix in the future, including maximum building height, minimum building setbacks, minimum
landscape setbacks, minimum landscape planting, and maximum lot coverage, in accordance
3
with Section 623.E.4 of the Phoenix Zoning Ordinance, available online, here:
https://phoenix.municipal.codes/ZO/623.
• If the self-service storage warehouse is proposed to be taller than two stories and 30 feet in
height, then it would require a minimum of C-2 HGT/WVR SP (Intermediate Commercial, Height
Waiver, Special Permit) zoning in the City of Phoenix, which would allow a maximum building
height of four stories not to exceed 56 feet, in accordance with Section 623.E.4.b of the Phoenix
Zoning Ordinance.
• Self-service storage facilities would also be subject to the requirements of Section 647.A.2.i of the
Phoenix Zoning Ordinance, available online, here: https://phoenix.municipal.codes/ZO/647. If
approved, sta; recommends the following stipulations:
o All storage shall be within a closed building except that within the grounds of a self-service
storage warehouse where trailers and motor vehicles may be placed in outdoor storage
areas which are separate from view from adjacent streets and property by walls, fences or
landscaping. Outdoor storage areas shall not exceed ten percent of the gross site area and
shall not count toward meeting parking requirements.
o No auctions, sales, service or repair activities or anything other than dead storage and the
rental and supervision of storage units and such additional uses permitted in the C-2
district that are specified through special permit approval shall be conducted on the
premises.
o There shall be no storage [or] use of hazardous or dangerous materials on the premises.
o The premises shall abut or have direct access to a freeway or arterial street, as designated
on the street classification map.
o Screening the perimeter of the premises of a self-service storage warehouse may be
required. All parts of the perimeter which are adjacent to a residential zone shall be
screened by a fence or wall with a landscaped area at least ten feet wide, additional
setback and the reorientation of buildings may be required to ensure compatibility with
surrounding properties.
o A self-storage warehouse may be combined with a household moving center.
• O;ices, professional services, and convenience retail are permitted in the C-2 zoning district in
the City of Phoenix, subject to the provisions of Section 623 of the Phoenix Zoning Ordinance. If a
use is not explicitly listed in the C-2 zoning district (Section 623), it may be listed in a lower
intensity zoning district, such as the C-1 zoning district (Section 622) or the R-5 zoning district
(Section 618).
o Section 618: https://phoenix.municipal.codes/ZO/618.
o Section 622: https://phoenix.municipal.codes/ZO/622.

• In 2014, the Phoenix City Council adopted the Comprehensive Bicycle Master Plan to guide the
development of its Bikeway System and supportive infrastructure. The Comprehensive Bicycle
Master Plan supports options for both short- and long-term bicycle parking as a means of
promoting bicyclist tra;ic to a variety of destinations. In April 2023, the Phoenix City Council
adopted the Active Transportation Plan, which was an update and expansion of the
Comprehensive Bicycle Master Plan. If approved, sta; recommends the below stipulations to
further this plan.

the station or the ground, and a bicycle repair stand which allows pedals and wheels to
spin freely while making adjustments to the bike.
• In October 2021, the Phoenix City Council approved the Climate Action Plan. The Climate Action
Plan will serve as a long-term plan to achieve greenhouse gas emission reductions and resiliency
goals from local operations and community activities as well as prepare for the impacts of
climate change. This plan contains policies and initiatives regarding stationary energy,
transportation, waste management, air quality, local food systems, heat, and water. Goal W2
(Water), Action W2.4, pertains to the implementation of the Greater Phoenix Metro Green
Infrastructure and Low Impact Development Details for Alternative Stormwater Management to
benefit the environment, promote water conservation, reduce urban heat, improve the public
health, and create additional green spaces. Additionally, the Conservation Measures for New
Development policy encourages the implementation of green stormwater infrastructure (GSI). If
approved, sta; recommends the stipulation below to further this plan.
See the Phoenix Climate Action Plan, here:
https://www.phoenix.gov/administration/departments/oep/climate-change.html.
o A minimum of two green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) elements for stormwater
management shall be implemented, as approved by the Planning and Development
Department. This includes but is not limited to stormwater harvesting basins, bioswales,
permeable pavement, etc., per the Greater Phoenix Metro Green Infrastructure and Low
Impact Development Details for Alternative Stormwater Management.
• In June 2022, the Phoenix City Council approved the Transportation Electrification Action Plan.
The current market desire for the electrification of transportation is both a national and global
phenomenon, fueled by a desire for better air quality, a reduction in carbon emissions, and a
reduction in vehicle operating and maintenance costs. Businesses, governments, and the public
are signaling strong future demand for electric vehicles (EVs), and many automobile
manufacturers have declared plans for a transition to fully electric o;erings within the coming
decade. This Plan contains policy initiatives to prepare the City for a future filled with more EVs,
7
charging infrastructure and e-mobility equity, and outlines a roadmap for a five-step plan to
prepare for the EV infrastructure needs of 280,000 EVs in Phoenix by 2030. One goal of the Plan to
accelerate public adoption of electric vehicles through workplace, business, and multifamily
charging infrastructure recommends a standard stipulation for rezoning cases to provide EV
charging infrastructure. If approved, sta; recommends the stipulations below to further this plan.
See the Transportation Electrification Action Plan, here:
https://www.phoenix.gov/content/dam/phoenix/sustainabilitysite/mediaassets/sustainability/ev-
home-page-
assets/City%20of%20PHX%20Transportation%20Electrification%20Action%20Plan.pdf.

Development Department.
• In June 2023, the Phoenix City Council adopted the Conservation Measures for New Development
policy as part of a resolution addressing the future water consumption of new development
(Resolution 22129). This resolution addresses the future water consumption of new development
to support one of the City’s Five Core Values in the General Plan which calls for Phoenix to “Build
the Sustainable Desert City”. The Conservation Measures for New Development policy includes
direction to develop standard stipulations for all rezoning cases that will address best practices
related to water usage in nine specific categories. If approved, sta; recommends the stipulations
below to further this policy.

commitment to participate in the Phoenix Water E;iciency Checkup program for a
minimum of 10 years, as approved by the Planning and Development Department.
• In November 2024, the Phoenix City Council adopted the Shade Phoenix Plan. The Shade Phoenix
Plan prioritizes increasing shade coverage throughout the City to improve health and quality of
life. Investing in shade can address the urban heat island e;ect, clean the air, preserve Sonoran
vegetation, and prevent health complications related to prolonged exposure to heat. The Shade
Phoenix Plan provides numerous strategies to increase shade including expanding and
maintaining existing shade, strengthening tree code enforcement, and developing shade
stipulations in rezoning cases. The Shade Phoenix Plan was an update and expansion of the 2010
Tree and Shade Master Plan. If approved, sta; recommends the stipulation below to further this
plan.
See the Shade Phoenix Plan, here:
https://www.phoenix.gov/content/dam/phoenix/heatsite/documents/ShadePhoenixPlan_Nov13Council

applicable) shall be shaded by a structure, landscaping, or a combination of the two to
provide a minimum of 75% shade, as approved by the Planning and Development
Department.
• Should the development be annexed and served by the City of Phoenix in the future, sta;
recommends that the development comply with the City-wide Design Review Guidelines in
accordance with Chapter 5, Section 507 Tab A of the Phoenix Zoning Ordinance and the
Development Standards of General Applicability in accordance with Chapter 7 of the Phoenix
Zoning Ordinance, in order to avoid the potential for future non-conformities.

Dear Members of the Planning Commission, Planning Staff, and Supervisor Brophy McGee, As a
concerned community member, I urge you to deny Zoning Case Z250006 and Special Use Permit
SU250023 at 10th Street and Carefree Highway. The proposal exceeds zoning restrictions, violates size
and coverage limits, lacks basic water and sewer infrastructure, and would route commercial traffic onto
a narrow residential road—contradicting the Carefree Highway Scenic Corridor and Daisy Mountain/New
River Area Plans. Granting C-2 zoning would confer permanent “by-right” development rights, including
gas stations, drive-throughs, auto sales, and other intensive uses, setting an irreversible precedent that
could transform this scenic corridor into another Bell Road without future community input. The project
would degrade the area’s rural character, create noise and lighting impacts incompatible with our
community, and is unnecessary given the many storage facilities already nearby. Our community
opposition letter provides detailed documentation and can be viewed here:
