Project Summary:
1.
The applicant is requesting a zone change with overlay from Rural-43 to R1-35 RUPD to 
accommodate a single-family residential subdivision known as Peak View (S2023003) that is 
comprised of 48 lots and 4 tracts. The site is located north of the northeast corner of 235th Avenue 
and Patton Road and covers 40 acres of the 160-acre parent parcel APN 503-34-033A. The site is 
designated Single Family Rural within the White Tank/Grand Ave Area Plan and abuts vacant lots 
to the east, north, west, and south. The 65 LDN line frames the eastern boundary of the area being 
rezoned.  The area east of the contour line is  the eastern portion of the parent parcel and is within 
the Military Airport and Ancillary Military Facility Overlay (MAAMF), which does not allow for the 
development of any new residential uses. The eastern area adjacent will be developed in the 
future as industrial uses and a Military Compatibility Permit (MCP) will be required prior to its 
development.
2.
The applicant is requesting a zone change from the existing Rural-43 zoning district to R1-35 to 
develop the subject site to establish a consistent design and development standards for the 
proposed community (subject portion of the parent parcel outside the MAAMF). The proposed 
R1-35 RUPD zoning district will maintain the intent of the primary zoning proposed for the site 
and allow for the design of the future community to fit seamlessly with the surrounding area and 
to be developed despite the MAAMF overlay restraints to the east.

The applicant is requesting to vary the development standard for the minimum lot width. This is 
the only proposed RUPD deviation.  The applicant has argued that the greater site (parent parcel) 
is overlayed by the MAAMF on the east resulting in a residential building area of a narrow 
configuration. A reduced lot with width would allow the lots to be developed within the restraints 
of the narrow configuration and density limitation imposed by the LDN line.

Public Participation Summary:
9.
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 has not received any comments. 
Outstanding Concerns from Reviewing Agencies:
10.
N/A
Staff Analysis:
11.
The proposed zoning district is appropriate allowing for single-family residences outside the 
MAAMF with access to Patton Road and Peakview Road from 235th Avenue. The zoning district 
is in conformance with the White Tank Grand Avenue Area Plan land use designated Single-family 
Rural.

Case Z2023060
Page 6 of 7
12.
Staff recognizes that the general area surrounding the subject site has been designated to be 
developed with rural land uses with the retrains of the Military Overlay LDN line that traverses the 
site. The R1-35 RUPD zoning district would be appropriate for the site as it would facilitate the 
developed of the future Peak View community (S2023003). Staff is supportive of the proposed 
zone change with overlay, with the recommended conditions, due to the general compatibility of 
the proposed future use of the site would have to the surrounding land uses. 
Recommendation:
13.
Staff recommends the Commission adopt a motion recommending that the Board of Supervisors 
approve Z2023060 subject to the following conditions ‘a’ – ‘h’:
a.
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Zoning Exhibit 
entitled “Peakview Subdivision Zoning Exhibit “, consisting of 1 full-size sheet, dated 
December 9, 2024, and stamped received March 7, 2025, 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. Within 30 days of Board of Supervisor approval, the applicant shall provide 
staff a revised zoning exhibit to reflect the 40 acres being rezoned.
b.
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Narrative Report 
entitled “Peak View Zone Change with Overlay Narrative”, consisting of 6 pages, dated 
February 4, 2025, and stamped received March 7, 2025, except as modified by the 
following conditions. Within 30 days of Board of Supervisor approval, the applicant shall 
provide staff a revised narrative report to reflect the 40 acres being rezoned. 
c.
This rezone should only apply to 40 acres of parcel 503-34-033A, located outside of the 
65 LDN. Future development of the eastern portion of the site, within the MAAMF overlay 
should be subject to a Military Compatibility Permit.
d.
The following R1-35 RUPD standards shall apply:
1.
Minimum Lot Width measured from the required front yard setback: 130 ft.
2.
Maximum Gross Density: 1 du/ac.
e.
The following Planning Engineering conditions shall apply:
1.
Without the submittal of a precise plan of development, no development approval 
is inferred by this review, including, but not limited to number of proposed building 
lots/units, drainage design, access and roadway alignments. These items will be 
addressed as development plans progress and are submitted to the County for 
further review and/or entitlement.
2.
A traffic impact study, grading and drainage plans, and drainage reports must be 
submitted with future entitlement (POD or Preliminary Plat) application(s).
3.
Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR/LOMR) is required for the proposed 
subdivision. The CLOMR must be approved by the Flood Control District prior to 
approval of the Final Plat. The applicant’s decision to continue the design with the

Case Z2023060
Page 7 of 7
understanding that design is proceeding “At-Risk” considering FEMA has not 
approved the CLOMR/LOMR 
a.
CLOMR/LOMR expectations are for homes/residents within the proposed 
subdivision does not have to incur extraordinary requirements such as 
limitations in development, flood insurance and other floodplain related 
restrictions.
4.
Engineering review of Zone change request cases is conceptual in nature. 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.
f.
Noncompliance with any Maricopa County Regulation shall be grounds for initiating a 
revocation of this Zone Change 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, 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, 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.

A. REQUEST 
The purpose of this request is for approval of a Zone Change with Overlay from RU-43 (Rural-43 
– One Acre Per Dwelling Unit) to R1-35 RUPD (Single-Family Residential Zoning District – 
35,000 Square Feet Per Dwelling Unit Residential Unit Plan of Development) for approximately 
51.58 gross acres of a 160.78-gross-acre (144.66-net-acre) parcel located north of the northeast 
corner of 235th Avenue and Patton Road, in the jurisdiction of Maricopa County (the “Site”). The 
approval of a Zone Change with Overlay will allow the construction of a single-family residential 
on the Site. In the future, the remainder of the larger parcel intends to develop with industrial uses. 
 
 
The Site comprises the western portion of Maricopa County Assessor’s Parcel Number 503-34- 
033A. The intent is the forementioned single-family residential subdivision will occupy the western 
portion of the larger parcel. The eastern portion of the parcel will be reserved for future industrial 
uses, as shown below.

A RUPD is being requested to address the following development standards:

The purpose of the RUPD overlay is to reduce the minimum lot width required in the R1-35 
Zoning District from 145’ to 130’. A 65 Ldn line from Luke Airforce Base Auxiliary Field 1 
runs on the eastern edge of the Site. Residential development is prohibited within a 65 Ldn line, 
which covers the eastern portion of the parcel that is reserved for future industrial uses. The 
Graduated Density Concept further restricts residential densities outside of the 65 Ldn line.  
 
Industrial Uses 
(Not a Part)

The Graduated Density Concept limits the density on the Site to 2 du/ac. Further, the placement 
of the 65 Ldn line, running from north to south, limits the Site’s buildable area to a long, narrow 
configuration. In addition, there is significant drainage challenges along the western side of the 
Site, further restricting the lot layout and design. Therefore, the lot width reduction is proposed 
to carefully plan the lots within the restraints of the narrow configuration and density limitation 
imposed by the 65 Ldn line.  
 
B. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL 
The Property is currently undeveloped desert land. The proposed Zone Change with Overlay 
will allow the Site to develop as a single-family residential subdivision. As previously 
mentioned, and shown in the site plan below, the intent is to divide the larger parcel into two 
uses. The 51.58-gross-acre Site will be developed with single- family residential uses and the 
eastern portion of the larger parcel will be reserved for future industrial development.  
The Site will be divided into 29 single-family residential lots of various sizes. Each lot area will 
have two designated parking spaces. The development proposes the construction of a new road 
to the north, Peak View Road, to allow for future resident connectivity within the Site. 
The overall design of the proposed development will be sensitive to the surrounding desert 
context and the Peak View Ranch Subdivision to the east of the Site. Landscaping will be 
provided in accordance with the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance. 
 
C. RELATIONSHIP TO SURROUNDING PROPERTIES 
The Site is undeveloped desert land zoned Rural-43 (“RU-43”), allowing for one dwelling unit 
per acre. The parcel is surrounded to the north, south, and west by vacant, desert land. To the 
east of the parcel are single-family residences zoned RU-43 in the jurisdiction of Maricopa 
County (the “County”). The undeveloped land to the north of the Site is zoned RU-43 and is in 
the jurisdiction of the County. The land located at the southwest corner of the Site is zoned RU-
43 and is not a part of this request. Directly south of the reserved industrial portion of the Site, 
across Patton Road, is vacant, desert land zoned RU-43 in the jurisdiction of the County. Directly 
south of the residential portion of the Site, across Patton Road, is land zoned Planned Area 
Development (“PAD”) in the jurisdiction of the City of Surprise. The Site is bounded on the 
west by State Trust Land.

D. LOCATION AND ACESSIBILITY 
The Site is located north of the northeast corner of 235th Avenue and Patton Road in the 
jurisdiction of Maricopa County. The subject Site is in close proximity to the rapidly developing 
Sun Valley Parkway area. The Site is an ideal location to provide additional single-family 
residences to commuters employed in the nearby City of Surprise. The addition of single-family 
residences will provide an incentive for developers to bring future commercial and industrial 
developments to the area. 
The Site will have two main access points that feed into internalized private drives. The Site 
will be accessible from the south, from Patton Road, and from the north, on Peakview Road. 
Patton Road and Peakview Road are part of the existing street system and run east-west along the 
northern and southern boundaries of the Site. Patton Road and Peakview Road will connect via 
231st Avenue, which is an existing street running north-south along the eastern boundary of the 
Site. 
 
E. CIRCULATION SYSTEM 
Again, the Site will be accessed via two main drives on existing Patton Road to the south and 
Peakview Road to the north. Each access point will feed into an internalized private drive 
system. Future residents of the proposed development will be able to travel through the entire

residential development via a spine road that runs north-south through the middle of the 
residential development. The main drive will break off into a series of smaller private drives 
ending in cul-de-sacs. 
A Traffic Impact Statement (“TIS”) has been submitted to MCDOT and is being reviewed as part 
of the preliminary plat application (Case Number S2023003).  
 
F. DEVELOPMENT SCHEDULE 
The intent is to build the Site in a single phase. The industrial portion of the larger parcel, which 
is not part of this rezoning, will be developed as a separate phase. 
 
G. COMMUNITY FACILITIES AND SERVICES 
Currently, educational needs are being served by the Wickenburg Unified #9 School 
District. The Site is situated near a number of recreational activities including The Giant 
Triangle, the Copper Canyon Golf Club, and the White Tank Mountain Regional Park. 
 
H. PUBLIC UTILITIES AND SERVICES 
The Site will be served by Liberty Utilities for water service and will utilize septic systems. The 
Site will receive electric power service through APS. Refuse and trash collection is handled 
through contracts with private collection companies. Telephone services will be provided via 
ZONA WYYERD, fiber optics will be provided via MCI (Verizon), and Cable TV will be 
provided via Century Link. Police services are provided by Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office 
and fire services by Wittmann Fire District. 
 
I. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 
The Site is located within the White Tanks / Grand Avenue Area Plan – military compatible (the 
“Area Plan”). Area Plans are regulatory documents that are intended to work in conjunction 
with the Comprehensive Plan to provide guidance regarding community characteristics, future 
land uses, and special conditions. The Area Plan designates the Site for Rural Residential (0-1 
du/ac). A Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA) is not required for the residential use. The 
residential density proposed is approximately 0.80 du/ac, which is within the designated 0-1 
du/ac in the Comprehensive Plan. 
 
J. CONCLUSION 
We respectfully request that the Zone Change with Overlay from RU-43 to R1-35 RUPD be 
considered for approval. With Maricopa County’s population rapidly growing and the general 
demand for housing and employment, it is critical to provide these uses for existing and future 
residents.

RE:  Z2023060/MCP2023006; Peak View Development (APN: 503-34-033A) 
 
Dear Ms. Jaramillo 
 
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the concept review application for the Peak 
View Development zoning change application.  The site sits on approximately 70.44 acres and is 
located at 235th Avenue and Patton Road in unincorporated Maricopa County, AZ.  The request 
is for a zoning change from Rural-43 to R1-35 with Overlay.  A portion of the parcel is located 
inside the Luke AFB Aux-1 2004 65 Ldn “high noise or accident potential zone,” as identified 
by A.R.S. § 28-8461.   
 
Luke Air Force Base (LAFB) follows A.R.S. § 28-8481 when evaluating compatible land 
use within the “territory in the vicinity of a military airport.   The following denotes what LAFB 
considers incompatible development in accordance with A.R.S. § 28-8481. 
 
1).  LAFB considers the portion of the proposed residential inside of the Luke AFB Aux-
1 2004 65 Ldn, incompatible with the high noise or accident potential of a military/ancillary 
airport and therefore will negatively affect our flying operations and the safety of the 
community. We recommend reviewing the noise contour locations for better site plan accuracy. 
These contours are available in ArcGIS format via PlanNet provided by Maricopa County.  
  
In an effort to promote a more compatible co-existence, Luke AFB follows the guidelines 
in the Graduated Density Concept (GDC).  The GDC proposes, in the absence of a more 
restrictive state, county or municipal general or comprehensive plan, graduating densities away 
from the 65 Ldn as follows:  a maximum of 2 du/ac from the 65 Ldn to 1/2 mile, a maximum of 
4 du/ac from 1/2 to 1 mile, and a maximum of 6 du/ac from 1 to 3 miles.  Due to the incorrect 
placement of the noise contours on the provided site plan, we are unable to accurately calculate 
the du/ac from the 65 Ldn.  Therefore, the increase in density from Rural-43 to R1-35 with 
Overlay will negatively impact flight operations.

Since the parcel is located within the “territory in the vicinity of a military airport,” it will 
be subjected to approximately 170 over flights a day.  In addition, a strong notification program 
on the part of the applicant is essential to inform potential occupant(s) about Luke AFB 
operations.   
 
If you have any questions, please contact my Senior Planner, Ms. Jenn Rahn at           
(623) 856-9981. 
 
          Sincerely
