Project Summary:
1.
This request is for a Special Use Permit (SUP) for an interim commercial use to accommodate 
recreational vehicles and boats storage facility in the Rural-43 zoning district per MCZO 1301.1.15 
for commercial storage of recreational vehicles and boats on sites not less than 1 acre. The 
subject site is comprised of approximately 1.28 acres and the applicant is requesting the SUP on 
one  acre of the subject site. The site is located approximately 425’ south of the SWC of Erie St. 
and Meridian Rd in the Mesa area, near the Pinal County boundary line. 
2.
The site is currently developed with a single-family residence, but the applicant is not including 
the residence within the SUP boundary. The site will include a 4,500 square foot indoor/covered 
storage building with 5 bays, and 39 outdoor parking spaces along the eastern portion of the site, 
and a 6’ CMU wall on the south, north, east, and west boundary lines of the site. The applicant is 
requesting deviation from MCZO regulations 1102.7.1 instead of paving they would asphalt 
millings and will be in compliance to the Maricopa County Air Quality Department regulations.  
3.
The site can be accessed along the ingress/egress on Meridian Road which is maintained by both 
Maricopa County and Pinal County. The applicant obtained a traffic waiver by MCDOT for the 
required traffic study; and the applicant stated in their narrative they have tried to communicate 
with Pinal County for their feedback regarding Meridian Road but have not heard back on the 
requested SUP application.
4.
The property owner resides on the site, but access to customers is on a self-serve basis daily 
between the hours 6 am to 8 pm through a gate located on the northeast portion of the site, with 
not more than 3 non-resident employees. The facility will not provide any dumping of wastewater 
or trash, it will only serve for storage. The applicant states in their narrative that most customers 
will store their vehicles for approximately 6 – 12 months at a time, which is typical for these type 
of uses.

Adopted Plans:
8.
Maricopa County “Vision 2030” Comprehensive Plan (adopted 2013): Designates the subject 
site as Rural Development Area (0-1 d.u./ac).
Public Participation Summary:
9.
The applicant complied with all the necessary public participation requirements according to 
MCZO Section 304, including notification of property owners within 300’ of the subject site and 
posting of the site. Registered areas of interest were contacted by the applicant and staff 
regarding the Special Use Permit. To date, no opposition has been received by the applicant. Staff 
has not received any public comment on the application.   
Outstanding Concerns from Reviewing Agencies:
10.
N/A
Staff Analysis:
11.
The site and the surroundings are largely rural land uses, the proposed use as a recreational 
vehicle facility would be compatible with the general land use pattern in the area as various similar 
uses are shown within the area, with the storage of multiple vehicles. Staff research found no 
open violations or complaints for the subject site. 
12.
The proposed 39 recreational vehicles (boats, RV’s, etc.) spaces are an appropriate amount for 
the site and the use would not cause traffic that would have an impact to County roadways in the 
vicinity, as no more than 5 visits per week are expected. 
13.
Staff is supportive of the request and finds that the proposed use would be compatible with the 
rural nature of the surrounding area. Reviewing county agencies didn’t have any comments for 
the outdoor storage facility. Staff, therefore, is recommending approval for the reasons noted 
above.
Recommendation:
14.
Staff recommends the Commission adopt a motion recommending that the Board of Supervisors 
approve SU240020 subject to the following conditions ‘a’ – ‘l’:
a.
Development of the site shall be in substantial compliance with the site plan entitled 
“Special Use Permit for McNeil RV Storage” consisting of one (1) full size sheet dated 
March 20, 2025 and stamped received March 26, 2025, except as modified by the 
following conditions.
b.
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the narrative report 
entitled “Narrative Boat and RV Storage” consisting of five pages, stamped received March 
26, 2025, except as modified by the following conditions.
c.
The following Planning Engineering conditions shall apply:

SU240020
Page 6 of 7
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 & Drainage Plans and Final Drainage Report must be submitted 
with the application for Building Permit. 
4.
Retention basins to drain within 36 hours. 
5.
The site is not located in a Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs). The Flood Control 
District has no comments on this application.
6.
Storage of materials, walls/fence, parking, wells, septic systems and storm water 
retention are prohibited in the (future) right-of-way.
7.
TIS Waiver approved by MCDOT 11/20/2024.
8.
The subject site 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) 
from the County will be required prior to issuance of any construction permits. This 
does NOT preclude the requirement to obtain a Notice of Intent to Discharge 
(NOID) from the State (ADEQ), as may be required.
d.
The applicant shall complete any required construction permits for the appropriate 
occupancy within one (1) year of approval of this Special Use Permit prior to establishing 
the use and/or occupancy of the buildings.
e.
Prior to issuance of a building permit, written confirmation will be required from the 
emergency fire protection jurisdiction 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.
f.
The Special Use Permit shall be valid for a period of 25 years and shall expire on May 21, 
2050, 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.
All lighting associated to the special use permit shall be in conformance the Maricopa 
County Zoning Ordinance Section 1112.

SU240020
Page 7 of 7
h.
All signage associated to the special use permit shall be in conformance with the 
Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance Section 1401.
i.
A Commercial Permit shall be obtained for the 4,500 square foot storage building. 
j.
Non-Compliance with any Maricopa regulations will be grounds for possible revocation of 
this special use permit pursuant to the process set forth in the Maricopa County 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 exiting 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 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.

Narrative report for Special Use Permit for RV and Boat Storage Facility  
Location: 15328 s meridian road Mesa az 85212 
Case #SU240020 
Prepared by Brandon McNeil, Agent/Owner 
Parcel 304-93-024c​
 
RV/boat storage request 
 
Purpose of request 
This request is for the issuance of a Special Use Permit that will allow RV, 
vehicle, and boat storage on my 1.26 acre property located in Maricopa County 
(parcel # 304-93-024c). Current Zoning for this parcel is RU-43. The zoning will 
remain the same, as we are only requesting Special Use privileges for Boat and 
RV storage on the proposed site. The address of this parcel is 15328 s Meridian 
road in Mesa, AZ 85212. Approximately 1.0 acres of the property will be utilized 
for the Special Use Permit. The single-family residential home on the property is 
not part of this Special Use Permit. For the parking spaces, please see the 
Parking Table under the Description of Proposal section.  
 
Description of Proposal 
We are requesting that RV, vehicle, and boat storage will be operated on 1.0 acre 
of the 1.26-acre property. The number and dimensions of the parking spaces are 
as follows:

100% of the outdoor parking spaces have 4 inches of asphalt millings, including 
any of the aisles and driveways.  Low speeds on the property will be enforced for 
safety and to prevent dust. There has never been a complaint regarding dust 
from any of the neighbors or the county since we have owned the property. The 
property will be  accessed by customers on a self-serve basis and the gate will

be kept closed but unlocked between the hours of 6AM to 8PM, Monday – 
Sunday. The gate is locked from 8PM to 6AM, and access during that time will be 
available by appointment only. Property owner will install cameras throughout the 
property. The entire back portion of the property will be surrounded by a 6’ tall 
fence of masonry block that provides privacy and security. We do not plan on 
having a full time employee, rather we intend to have either part time or as 
needed basis employee, thus no office will be necessary. There is a tan and 
brown 50x90 storage building. We plan on putting up a block wall on the west 
part of the property for screening along with block wall or 90% screened fencing 
on the south and eastern borders.  
 
Relationship to Surrounding Properties 
This property will offer convenient parking for motorhomes, travel trailers, boats, 
and other related vehicles for local clients who are unable to store their 
recreational vehicles and boats at their homes in nearby subdivisions.  Most of 
those types of communities have restrictions on parking recreational-type 
vehicles. Most customers store their vehicles for 6-12 months or more, at a time, 
giving low traffic to the neighborhood. There will be low traffic impact since most 
RV storage customers only use their RV’s a few times a year. This property is 
located on a dead-end street. The fence will provide a buffer between this 
property and the neighbors’ properties to the south, west, and north. Due to the 
low traffic and fence buffer, there is little to no noise impact to the surrounding 
properties. We do not plan on installing any on-site lighting. We will encourage 
customers to drop off and pick up their vehicles during the daylight hours. 
Currently there are many other surrounding properties that are storing multiple 
boats and RVs. There are 3 parcels on this county block that recently have been 
rezoned C2 commercial and are intending to do RV storage. Owner of these 
parcels is Mountain road storage LLC.  The parcel numbers are 304-93-026,  
304-93-025B, and  304-93-025A,  totalling 8 aces. The two parcels directly north of 
the proposed special use permit are owned by the same owner, 6 door trucks. 
Those parcel numbers are 304-93-024a and 304-93-024b. Also the parcel 
directly to the south is also owned by the same owner under a different entity, 
Erie estates LLC. That parcel number is 304-93-032b. Parcel number  
304-93-023F, directly west of proposal, is owned by Douglas Hurst. He currently is 
storing over 25 classic cars on his property. Currently, there are no structures or 
developed land directly to the east of the property. Property owner owns land on

both north and south neighboring parcels. There are current plans for an access 
road to go in directly to the east of this property. 
 
Location and Accessibility​
 
Storage customers can access property by turning east on Erie Street from 
Mountain Road. At the end of Erie street they would turn south on Meridian  
Road to property, which is approximately another 400 feet.  Customers can also 
access property by driving south on Meridian Road from Ray Road. This 
Meridian Road from Ray Road will also provide access to property. An email was 
sent to Pinal County regarding Meridian Road back on November 15, 2024 
requesting their input. To this date there has not been a response. Owner will 
reach out once more.   
 
Circulation System 
Access to this site is by one driveway coming off of Meridian Road. Clients will 
enter through the property on the east side. The exit will be at the same driveway 
that is used to enter the property. There will be plenty of room to turn around on 
the site. Circulation will flow very easily.  
 
Development schedule 
Upon approval of the Special Use permit, we will begin grading the property 
according to the grading and draining plan with a retention basin. We will also put 
up the block wall and or 90% screened fencing on the west, south and east 
borders.  
 
Public Utilities and Services 
Property has septic sewer, well water, and SRP electricity. Fire department is 
Rural Metro and the police department is the Sheriff department. Starlink will 
provide the internet.  
 
Compliance with City/Town General Plan 
Proposed property is on Maricopa county island. It is not under City of Mesa 
jurisdiction.  The proposed Special Use Permit would be compliant with 
surrounding jurisdictions and property uses. Soon with the improvements that will 
be happening on Meridian road, this site will be a frontage property with lots of 
traffic. Boat and RV storage will be a great use of the proposed property and will 
help with the storage facility shortage in the east valley. Ultimately, we feel that

there would be very little or no potential impact on surrounding neighbors. We 
feel justified in this request since the area is quickly turning into a higher traffic 
area with the proposed road going in. We feel that there would be very little traffic 
impact, as we were able to get Traffic Study Waiver approved because of the low 
traffic count.
