MCP240005 Page 1 of 9 Report to the Planning and Zoning Commission Prepared by the Maricopa County Planning and Development Department Case: MCP240005 – Fleetwood Storage Hearing Date: August 21, 2025 (Continued from August 7, 2025) Supervisor District: 4 Applicant: Kenneth Patch Owner: Patch Construction Corporation Request: Military Compatibility Permit (MCP) with a Plan of Development (POD) for a storage yard in the Rural-43 MAAMF zoning district Site Location: Generally located 225’ west of the NWC of Alsup Ave. & Fleetwood Ln. in the west Glendale area Site Size: Approx. 2 acre Density: N/A County Island: Yes (City of Glendale) County Plan: White Tanks / Grand Avenue Area Plan – Military Compatible Municipal Plan: City of Glendale – Luke Compatible Land Use Area Municipal Comments: None received to date Support/Opposition: None known Recommendation: Approve with conditions MCP240005 Page 2 of 9 Project Summary: 1. The applicant, Kenneth Patch is requesting an MCP with a POD to allow a storage yard for construction equipment, recreational vehicles, a minor repair facility for vehicles, and an office on parcel 501-60-032D. The subject is comprised of approximately 2 acres and is located west of the northwest corner of Alsup Ave. and Fleetwood Ln. in the Glendale area within the Rural–43 zoning district and Military Airport and Ancillary Military Facility Overlay (MAAMF). This is the high noise and accident potential zone of Luke Air Force Base (LAFB). Specifically, the site is located between the LDN 70 – 75 noise contours. There is an active violation case (V202102407) for running a business without the proper entitlement, but approval of this MCP would rectify the violation and bring the property into compliance. 2. The applicant received a Use Compatibility and Consistency Determination (UC2024008) from Luke AFB that confirmed the proposed use as compatible and consistent with the high noise or accident potential of a military airport or ancillary miliary facility. 3. The site is currently developed with a 1,735 sq. ft. storage shed and a 1,120 sq. ft. manufactured shipping container. The site will be redeveloped to be in compliance with the MCZO. The storage shed will remain on site for storage of equipment, and the manufactured shipping container which will be redeveloped into an office. The applicant will obtain As-Built permits for the two structures. 4. The applicant is proposing 6 parking spaces to serve the office, which will be located at the entrance of the site. Additionally, the applicant is proposing 26 covered parking spaces for the storage of RV/Boats on the northern portion of the site. The proposed shade canopy will have a height of 15’ and all parking areas will be paved and stripped. The southern portion of site will also be used for minor repair and maintenance of construction equipment and trucks and for storage of equipment for ongoing maintenance jobs such as plastic tanks, plastic chambers, and pvc piping. The site is enclosed by a 6’ CMU brick wall. 5. The applicant is proposing to operate the site Monday through Sunday between the hours of 7 am and 4 pm with 1 – 3 employees on site during business hours. Fleetwood Lane is a private right of way easement that ends at the entrance of the of the site, on the southern portion, and it is shared between parcels 501-60-030 and 501-60-032C. The applicant states in their narrative both neighbors are in support of using the private right of way for the proposed use of this site. The applicant did provide two letters of support from both neighbors. 6. In order to facilitate the use of the site with the existing structures and elements, the applicant is requesting to vary the front yard and side yard setbacks to reflect the office and storage shed already developed within the requested 20’ front yard setback and 10’ -7” side yard setback development standards as identified in the table shown in the following page: MCP240005 Page 3 of 9 Regulation Base Zoning District Regulations (Rural-43 MAAMF) Proposed Zoning District Regulations (Rural-43 MAAMF / MCP240005) Max.

White Tanks / Grand Avenue Area Plan (updated December 2023): This area plan assigns the site a future land use category of “Military Compatible,” which is consistent with its location within the MAAMF overlay zoning district. 11. Envision Glendale 2040 (updated September 2016): The site is located within Glendale’s municipal planning area (MPA) and is therefore subject to the City’s general plan, which places the site within its “Luke Compatible Land Use Area”. This category is assigned to lands surrounding Luke AFB that are delineated by the 1988 Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) 65 LDN noise contour. The General Plan recognizes and supports the state legislation related to the continued, viable operations of military installations. Permitted uses shall follow the State of Arizona land use compatibility requirements and Arizona Revised Statute 28-8481. Public Participation Summary: 12. The applicant complied with Maricopa County Citizen Review Process, with the required posting of the site and notification by first class mail to adjacent property owners within 300’ of the subject site and interested parties. The applicant submitted a Citizen Participation Results Report. According to the report, the applicant received two (2) letters of support from neighbors to the south of the site. 13. Staff notified both Glendale and Luke AFB (among the other registered areas of interest) of this request on October 15, 2024, ahead of the scheduled TAC meeting. To date, neither agency has directly commented. The Air Force issued an affirmative UCCD on May 16, 2024 (per case UC2024008) confirming that the then-proposed use of the land would not have a negative impact on Luke’s flying operations. This UCCD was issued prior to staff’s review of case MCP240005. Because the land use would not change with this request, staff did not require a subsequent UCCD. Outstanding Concerns from Reviewing Agencies: 14. N/A Staff Analysis: 15. Staff supports this request for an MCP with a POD for Fleetwood Storage based on the determination by Luke Air Force Base that the use is compatible and consistent with a military airport or ancillary facility. Staff recognizes the general area cannot be developed with any new residential uses in the unincorporated parcels or the City of Glendale due to the high noise or accident potential zones generated by military airport and ancillary military facility operations. If the site is not developed under this MCP it would remain vacant. 16. The proposed use would not negatively impact the surrounding residential uses or cause an influx of traffic through Fleetwood Lane, as customer would only come onto the site to drop off or pick up equipment within the limited business hours. MCP240005 Page 8 of 9 Recommendation: 17. Staff recommends the Commission adopt a motion recommending that the Board of Supervisors approve MCP240005 subject to the following conditions ‘a’ – ‘j’ as follows: a. Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Site Plan entitled “Fleetwood Storage,” consisting of 2 full-size sheets, dated May 6, 2025, and stamped received May 13, 2025, except as modified by the following conditions. b. Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Narrative Report entitled “Fleetwood Storage,” consisting of 4 pages, dated May 8 2025, and stamped received May 13, 2025, except as modified by the following conditions. c. The Military Compatibility Permit shall be limited to the following uses: 1. Storage of construction material, equipment, and repair of equipment. 2. Minor Repair Facility for up to two vehicles at a time. 3. Storage of recreational vehicles (Boats and RV’s) d. The applicant shall obtain the appropriate commercial building permits for the existing structures. e. 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 nature of the information submitted, changes to the site layout may be necessitated by the final engineering design of the site’s drainage infrastructure. 3. Detailed Grading and Drainage (Site Infrastructure) Plans must be submitted with the application for Building Permits 4. Retention basins to drain within 36 hours 5. This site is not located in a Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs). The Flood Control District has no comments on this application. 6. The subject premises is located within the County’s Urbanized Area. If the project will disturb one (1) acre or more, a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Permit (SWPPP), issued by the County (PND), will be required prior to issuance of any building permits required for site development. f. All new buildings are subject to noise attenuation as per ARS § 28-8482(B). g. The following Military Airport and Ancillary Military Facility Overlay Zoning District standards shall apply: MCP240005 Page 9 of 9 1. Min. Front Yard Setback – 20’ 2. Min Side Yard – 10’ 3. 1 parking spaces required per 250 square feet of floor area for the office (5% shall be designated ADA). No other required parking for storage uses. 4. Loading & Unloading Spaces: None Required All other development standards of the underlying zoning shall remain. h. Noncompliance with any Maricopa County Regulation shall be grounds for initiating a revocation of this Military Compatibility Permit as set forth in the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance. i. 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. 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, and at the time of expiration of the Military Compatibility 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 Military Compatibility 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 Military Compatibility Permit. The Military Compatibility Permit enhances the value of the property above its value as of the date the Military Compatibility Permit is granted and reverting to the prior zoning results in the same value of the property as if the Military Compatibility Permit had never been granted.
