Project Summary:
1.
The request is to re-validate a previously approved SUP to allow for ongoing outdoor storage for 
a period not to exceed 10 years on approximately 3.6 acres of land located on the rear portion of 
the tract, or approximately 150 south of Happy Valley Road. The storage articles include, but are 
not limited to, non-hazardous materials or debris, as in brick, concrete, or masonry, construction 
equipment and materials, mobile mini non-habitable type storage units. The storage proposal is 
to divide the SUP area nine ways separated by a 6’ (h) chain link fencing. Seven of these areas, 
generally located within the north and east portions of the SUP area, will be 100’ x 100’ (10,000 
sq.-ft.) storage bays. Centrally located is the dustproofed access maneuvering area that will 
separate the storage bays on the east and west sides of the SUP area. The remaining two areas, 
generally located within the southwest portion of the SUP area, will be used as retention basins.
2.
On October 7th, 2020, the Board of Supervisors (BOS) approved Z2020018 subject to conditions 
‘a’ – ‘h’, a 10-year SUP for interim outdoor storage. The property owners did not commence 
construction improvements within the 120 days requirement set forth under condition ‘d’. 
Condition ‘a’ requested that within 30 days of BOS approval, a revised site plan be submitted to 
staff showing one handicap-accesible parking spot. Condition ‘d’ set an expiration10 years after 
approval (or ???? DATE ????), or upon termination of the use for a period of 120 or more days. 
The modification of conditions of ‘a’ and ‘d’ is proposed in legislative edit format below:
a. Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Site Plan entitled 
“Precise Plan for 45 Lamar L.L.C.”, consisting of 1 full-size sheet, dated stamped 
received August 27, 2020, except as modified by the following conditions. Prior to any 
commercial construction permit, a revised site plan shall be submitted to staff showing 
one handicap-accessible parking spot.  
d. This special use permit shall expire on October 7, 2030 July 23, 2035, or upon 
termination of the use for a period of 120 or more days, whichever occurs first. All site 
improvements associated with the special use permit shall be removed within 120 
days of such expiration or termination of use. 
3.
The site includes a single-family residence, approximately 2,000 sq.-ft. in area, and an 
approximately 300 square-foot detached garage that are not a part of the SUP. The existing 
residence and garage use shall continue. Lighting for the site must comply with Section 1112 of 
the MCZO. There is no signage on site nor is there any proposed. Staff notes there are dirt 
mounds, greater than 6’ (h), along Happy Valley Rd., various vehicles, both work trucks and 
sedans, are parked on the site behind screened areas with stored material on site. The subject 
site is currently being used as an equipment storage yard.  
4.
The SUP only covers the area of the subject parcel south of the residence. proposed SUP access 
is via a single 24’ driveway from the 11th Ave. ingress/egress easement. According to the site 
plan, the interior of the site would have five 100’x100’ and two 100’ x 120’ fenced in areas for 
tenant leasing of storage areas. A 6’ (h) chain link fence otherwise encloses the entire SUP area. 
There are existing structures including a trailer, garage, and house within the SUP portion of the 
property. There is no proposed parking other than  temporary parking adjacent to each fenced 
storage bay.
5.
The site was encumbered by patent easements but the applicant provided confirmation that the 
BOS abandoned the following on 8/19/20:

SU250018
Page 3 of 9
•
APN 210-08-024C:Abandon the east 33’ and the south 33’ (except the west 25’), and the 
east 8’ of the west 33’, retaining 25’
•
APN 210-08-024A: Abandon the east 8’ of the west 33’ (except the north 70’) retaining 25’.
This allows existing structures to remain as well as proposed fencing and retention areas to be 
located where they are shown on the site plan. The attached Engineering review memo includes 
a recommended condition addressing patent easement abandonment prior to permit issuance.  
As noted, this condition has been met..

There is no proposed signage included. The  requested setbacksvary  from Rural-43 zoning base 
standards as shown below. In addition, the applicant isproposing the screening stay as the 
existing 6’ (h) chain link fence rather than a solid wall., Finally the applicant is asking for a waiver 
from the paved parking requirements.

11.
City of Phoenix 2025 General Plan (adopted 2024): The subject property is designated as 
Commerce/Business Park land use in the Phoenix General Plan.
Public Participation Summary:
12.
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’ of 
the subject parcel and interested parties.  The applicant submitted a Public Participation Results 
Report. No concerns were shared in the Results Report regarding the SUP request. Staff received 
no comment from registered Areas of Interest.
Outstanding Concerns from Reviewing Agencies:
13.
N/A
Staff Analysis:
14.
Staff supports the interim industrial use for outdoor equipment storage and extending validity of 
the SUP. The request meets most district standards and proximate properties operate similar 
uses. The applicant is requesting to vary the paved parking requirement and staff will require 
acceptance of a dust control plan by Maricopa County Air Quality Control. Staff will otherwise 
require one paved handicap parking space. Since the site is accessed by an unpaved 11th Ave. 
easement, staff will also include the requirement that the east 25’ (two-way traffic) of this 
alignment adjacent to the subject property to be dust proofed with decomposed granite, asphalt 
millings, or other similar material or a dust control plan that is acceptable to Maricopa County Air 
Quality Department requirements. It should be noted that 11th Ave. headed south from Happy 
Valley Rd. has similar land uses. 11th Ave. appears to eventually dead end where access to these 
properties is only from Happy Valley Rd. The subject site is the immediate property to Happy 
Valley Rd. where there would be minimal impact compared to these other properties accessing 
11th Ave. Due to the similar uses in the area, staff is also comfortable with the site screening 
waiver.
Recommendation:
15.
Staff recommends the Commission adopt a motion recommending that the Board of Supervisors 
approve SU250018 subject to the following conditions ‘a’ – ‘h’:
a.
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Site Plan entitled 
“Precise Plan for 45 Lamar L.L.C.”, consisting of 1 full-size sheet, dated stamped received 
August 27, 2020, except as modified by the following conditions. Prior to any commercial 
construction permit, a revised site plan shall be submitted to staff showing one handicap-
accessible parking spot.

Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance Section 11-05.
5.
There are Federal Patent Easements within the parcel. No encroachments are 
allowed within the area unless abandoned. • Applicant must contact MCDOT for 
further interest in the Patent Easement Abandonment Process.
6.
Prior to the issuance of building permits for this project, the owner shall record a 
(blanket) drainage easement to ensure the drainage infrastructure is maintained and 
preserved on the subject parcels.
7.
Engineering conditions made part of the approval of Z2020018 shall remain intact.
8.
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

engineering policies, standards and best practices at the time of application for 
construction.
9.
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.
d.
This special use permit shall expire on July 23, 2035, or upon termination of the use for a 
period of 120 or more days, whichever occurs first. All site improvements associated 
with the special use permit shall be removed within 120 days of such expiration or 
termination of use.  
e.
The following SUP development standards and requirements shall apply: 
1.
Pavement for Parking Spaces and Internal Driveways – may be waived with 
acceptance of dust control plan by Maricopa County Air Quality Control except

f.
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. 
g.
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. 
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.

Special Use Permit - Modification of Conditions Narrative 
 
I. 
INTRODUCTION 
 
Park View Lane 5, LLC (“Park View”) is the owner of the approximate 5 gross acres of 
property generally located at the southeast corner of the 11th Avenue alignment and Happy 
Valley Road in unincorporated City of Phoenix (“Overall Property”). The Property is 
currently comprised of three (3) separate parcels zoned Rural-43 (“RU-43”).  
 
II. 
PURPOSE OF REQUEST 
 
On October 7, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Z20200018, a Special Use Permit 
(“SUP”), to allow for interim outdoor storage on the south, approximate 3.6 acres (“SUP 
Area”) of the Overall Property for a period not to exceed 10 years, as shown on the aerial 
below. Outdoor storage may include, but is not limited to, construction, landscape, and other 
similar equipment and materials, non-habitable “mobile mini” type storage units, and/or non-
hazardous materials or debris, such as brick, concrete, or masonry. 
 
Shortly after the 2020 approval ownership had to shift gears and focus on another project 
and unfortunately did not begin the interim storage use in the allotted time frame required 
(120 days).  Park View would now like to commence the interim storage use, as approved in 
the 2020 SUP.  This application requests the modification of two conditions as they relate to 
timing, detailed below:

Special Use Permit - Modification of Conditions Narrative 
 
a. Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Site Plan 
entitled “Precise Plan for 45 Lamar L.L.C”, consisting of 1 full-size sheet, dated 
stamped received August 27, 2020, except as modified by the following conditions. 
Within 30 days of BOS approval, a revised site plan shall be submitted to staff 
showing 1 paved handicap parking spot.  
This application requests that condition “a” remains with 30 days from new, 2025 BOS 
approval date. 
     d.  This special use permit shall expire on October 7, 2030, or upon termination of the 
use for a period of 120 or more days, whichever occurs first. All site improvements 
associated with the special use permit shall be removed within 120 days of such 
expiration or termination of use. 
This application requests that condition “d” remains with a 10 year expiration from new, 
2025 BOS approval date.  
      
The following sections III through VIII are excepts from the 2020 SUP narrative and remain 
in effect. 
III. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL 
Site Plan / Operation. Park View is proposing to divide the SUP Area into nine (9) areas 
separated by 6 FT high chain link fencing. Seven of the areas, generally located within the 
north and east portions of the SUP Area, will be used as 100 FT x 100 FT (10,000 SF), 
dustproofed storage bays. The storage bays on the east and west sides of the SUP Area 
will be separated by a centrally located, dustproofed access drive/vehicle maneuvering 
area. The remaining two fenced-off areas, generally located within the southwest portion 
of the SUP Area, will be used as retention basins. 
Operation. Park View intends on leasing the storage bays to contractors, construction 
companies, or others. Lessees will typically have access to the storage bays during normal 
business hours, typically from dawn to dusk, with seasonal and/or morning/evening hour 
adjustments. Lessees will not use or have access to any structures/buildings within the 
SUP Area. It is anticipated that lessee traffic to and from the property will be limited, 
typically 20 or less round trips per week. 
Access, Circulation. Access to the SUP Area is provided an existing 24 FT wide 
dustproofed drive, which connects with 11th Avenue and finally Happy Valley Road. No 
direct access to the SUP Area is planned from Happy Valley Road. The 24 FT wide drive 
provides central access to the storage bays, as well as the existing residence. Park View 
will dustproof the existing access drive, so that it complies with all applicable Maricopa

Special Use Permit - Modification of Conditions Narrative 
 
County Air Quality Department standards. Again, lessee traffic to and from the SUP Area 
will be quite limited, which will minimize the potential for dust emission. 
In addition, the east 25-feet of the 11th Avenue alignment, from the south Happy Valley 
Road right-of-way line to the south boundary line of the SUP, will be dustproofed with 
decomposed granite, asphalt millings, or other similar dustproofing material in a manner 
that is compliant with Maricopa County Air Quality Department regulations. 
Fencing. Each of the seven (7) storage bays and two (2) retention basins will be securely 
enclosed with 6 FT high chain-link fencing. Fencing shall be permitted within setbacks. 
Parking. No Park View employees will be on site or using any structures/buildings. 
Tenants accessing their storage bays will temporarily park within or adjacent to their 
storage bays to load/unload equipment, materials, etc. before leaving. Accordingly, no 
dedicated parking areas or spaces are proposed. 
Lighting. On-site lighting consists of two (2) existing motion-sensitive security lights 
mounted atop 16-foot poles on the west side of the SUP Area. All future site lighting will 
comply with Section 1112 of the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance (“MCZO”). 
Signage. No signage is currently provided or proposed. 
Storage. Ongoing outdoor storage shall be permitted within the front yard (11th Avenue) 
setback. 
Development Standards. The development standards provided below shall apply to the 
SUP Area. Development standards not specifically regulated by the SUP shall be 
governed by Sections 503.3 – .5 of the MCZO. In the event of a conflict between this SUP 
and the MCZO, the SUP shall control.

Screening.  The proposed use is consistent with most, if not all, of the surrounding 
properties south of Happy Valley Road, which include other similar, unscreened outdoor 
uses, such as contractor yards, a towing yard, and various other outdoor storage. See 
Aerial Context Map below. 11th Avenue, the only frontage along the SUP Area, does not 
provide any meaningful access, as it dead ends just south of Happy Valley Road into these 
other outdoor uses. Given the limited traffic and that the uses along 11th Avenue are 
generally consistent with that proposed by Park View, the SUP will not adversely impact 
the adjoining properties. Accordingly, Park View is proposing to maintain 6 FT tall chain 
link security fencing along the 11th Avenue frontage. 
 
IV. 
RELATIONSHIP TO SURROUNDING PROPERTIES 
The Overall Property is bound to the north by Happy Valley Road and to the west by the 
11th Avenue alignment. Moving further outward, the properties to the north across Happy 
Valley Road are zoned RU-43 and include a church, a landscape sales business, and a 
single-family residence. The properties to the east and west of the Property are currently 
vacant and zoned RU-43. The properties to the south are zoned RU-43 and used as 
contractor yards with ancillary outdoor storage of equipment and materials.
