Case: 
BA250022 – Carefree Mancaves Retaining Wall Height 
Hearing Date:
May 15, 2025
Supervisor District:
3
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Applicant: 
Brad Garcia, Century Builders 
Property Owner:
Carefree Mancaves LLC
Requests:
Variance to the development standards of the Maricopa County Zoning 
Ordinance to permit:
1)
Proposed retaining wall height of 10’ where 6’ is the maximum permitted 
per MCZO Article 1111.5.2.4 and; 
2)  Proposed screening wall and retaining wall combination height of 16’ 
where 14’ is the maximum height permitted per MCZO article 1111.5.2.6
Site Location:
APN 211-24-137A @ 355 E. Carefree Hwy. – Carefree Hwy & 7th St., in the 
-Desert Hills area

Variance Requests:
6.
The applicant proposes to exceed the maximum retaining wall height and the maximum height 
for the overall combined retaining wall and screening wall along the rear parcel boundary line to 
help facilitate the design of a future RV condo facility. The Carefree Mancave facility is currently 
under preliminary plat review with case S2024016. During review, design items were identified 
that do not meet Maricopa County Zoning Ordnance (MCZO) standards for a portion of the 
retaining wall system designed at the southeast corner of the property. 
7.
The applicant is requesting to amend the maximum height of a retaining wall to 10-feet where 6-
feet is permitted by ordinance. The wall height is being requested to facilitate a drainage channel 
that will route offsite water flows though the site. Due to the  drainage channel design being at a 
lower grade than the surrounding land and the specific topography of the site, portions of the 
retaining wall will be required to be at 10-feet in height. 
8.
Per zoning district standards all commercial uses require CMU wall screening of at least 6’ from 
neighboring residential uses. The applicant is requesting to place the required 6’ wall on top of 
the portion of retaining wall that is requesting the height adjustment. A combined 16-foot 
retaining/screen wall combination exceeds the 14-foot maximum per the MCZO.

Site Analysis:
9.
The site is an undeveloped rectangular lot that fronts onto Carefree Hwy. The lot slopes down 
south from the roadway into a natural shallow wash that runs parallel to the roadway. The wash 
carries water flows from the west to east with the high point on the parcel located in the southeast 
corner and gradually sloping downward to the west and north. The Carefree Highway Scenic 
Corridor plan is silent on retaining wall requirements, though it does mention a limited height for 
screening walls to a maximum of 6’.

State Statute / County Zoning Ordinance Tests - ARS § 11-816.B.2 and MCZO Article 303.2.2 states the 
Board of Adjustment may, “Allow a variance from the terms of the ordinance if, owing to peculiar 
conditions, a strict interpretation would work an unnecessary hardship and if in granting the variance the 
general intent and purposes of the zoning ordinance will be preserved.”

Page 6 of 7
11.
Statutory Test -1 Does the applicant’s property contain any peculiar condition– Discuss and 
explain what is/are the peculiar conditions facing the property and include reference to the 
Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance Regulations or Development Standards to be varied.  
“The site topography along the southeast portion of the property requires a grading plan that 
exceeds the retaining wall height limitations set forth in MZO section 1111.5.2.4. The request 
would be to allow an increase of retaining wall (retaining portion) from 6'-0" to 10'-0".  This wall 
design would have a 6'-0" non-retaining wall on top of the retaining wall such that the (southerly) 
neighboring residential properties privacy is maintained and appears (outwardly) no different than 
a privacy / screen wall. The property was rezoned from Rural 43 to C2-CUPD to allow for 48 for-
sale self-storage garage condominium units (reference Z2023089). As part of the approval, the 
site must maintain the following: 120-foot setback from Carefree Highway, 10-foot perimeter 
landscape setback, and a 10' wide multi-use path with easement for public use in front of the site. 
The site configuration consists of (4) buildings across the site. Due to the 3rd street alignment 
required for site ingress and egress and a site circulation design that minimizes reversing with 
trailers and equipment by condominium unit owners, the site design required the building designs 
to be oriented in a north / south layout. The site's natural topography is largely gently sloped 
across much of the property. However, the topography slopes much steeper towards the 
southeast portion of the site. The site must also convey off-site water flows through the site from 
the southwest, towards the northeast portions of the site.”
12.
Statutory Test 2 – Does applying the requirements of the Ordinance to the applicant’s property 
create an Unnecessary Hardship – Explain how the peculiar condition identified in #1 causes an  
unnecessary hardship to the property when the requirements of the Maricopa County Zoning 
Ordinance are applied.  Explain how the that the peculiar condition of the property came to be and 
whether the condition was created by the applicant or someone in the property’s line of title. 
Explain the proposed use of the property with the variance request. Identify and explain all 
peculiar conditions on your property in regard to the following areas: slope, narrowness, 
shallowness, irregular shape, location, washes, vegetation, and easements, etc. Explain how 
enforcement of the Zoning Regulations or Development Standards would impose a hardship on 
the property.
“The site's resultant grading design faces hardships in meeting MZO 1111.5.2.4 which requires a 
variance. Due to the design criteria that were developed as part of Z2023089 listed above, 
maintaining the required setbacks and easements and the need to convey off-site water flows at 
their same inflow and outflow points, the resultant grading design requires a portion of the site to 
require approximately 10 feet of retaining. A meeting was held between the design team and 
Maricopa County Planning & Development Staff (Mark Sipes, Andrew Lorentzen) on March 21, 
2025. Initially, a potential solution to avoid requiring a variance if the 10-foot southern landscape 
setback was used to step down the grades in this area. Upon further review, this appears doubtful 
in accomplishing due to the off-site drainage design that also needs to be accommodated to ensure 
foundation wash-away issues are addressed.”
13.
Statutory Test 3 – General Intent and Purpose of the Zoning Ordinance – Discuss the purpose 
of the zoning requirement from which the variance is being sought. Then, discuss and explain 
how, provided statutory tests #1 and #2 are satisfied, the granting of the requested variance 
would preserve the general intent and purpose of the Zoning Ordinance.
“As previously mentioned, granting this variance request will not cause any negative impact on the 
general intent and purpose of the zoning intent as the variance:
1. Applies only to a minimal (south / eastern) portion of the site / screen walls.
2. Does not have any visibility to the public - only interface is with adjacent residential access road.
3. Will have not have any outward facing appearance of increased retaining wall area.

Page 7 of 7
4. Will provide necessary structural detailing to meet endorsed code (weeps, reinforcement 
foundation) compliance.
5. Will provide a wall design that is consistent in appearance with adjacent site screen walls.
6. Will allow for a better landscape planting solution than a stepped wall design as it allows greater 
usable planting area to allow for
trees and shrubs to be planted on a larger plane which provides greater (interior facing) wall 
screening, see Civil site wall section D/3 for current proposed wall profile and adjacent landscape 
planting area.”
Findings: 
14.
The applicant has the burden of proving to the Board that, in accordance with the standard set 
forth in ARS §11-816.B.2 and MCZO Article 303.2.2, the property requires a variance. To grant the 
relief, the applicant must prove, and the Board must find and identify, a physical condition of the 
applicant’s property that is peculiar and not common to the area or the universe of the zoning 
district. Also, any such peculiarity must not have been created either by the applicant or anyone 
in the chain of title. If the Board determines that there is no such peculiar physical condition, its 
inquiry stops, and the application must be denied.
If the Board identifies a peculiar physical condition of the applicant’s property which is not self-
imposed, then the applicant must prove, and the Board must find and identify, an unnecessary 
hardship imposed upon the property due to the strict application of the requirements of the zoning 
ordinance which the applicant wishes to have varied such that there is no viable use of the 
property without the variance. 
If the Board identifies a peculiar physical condition of the property which is not self-imposed, and 
that in applying the requirements of the zoning ordinance to the property, because of the peculiar 
physical condition, an unnecessary hardship exists, the applicant must prove, and the Board must 
find and identify, how the granting of the variance will preserve the general intent and purpose of 
the zoning ordinance.
In order to approve the variance the Board must make findings and articulate them in motion 
memorializing the above.  
15.
Based upon what the applicant has submitted and the staff analysis in this report, staff offers the 
following positive and/or negative observations the Board may consider in its findings:
•
The on-site topography creates unique drainage challenges for site design. 
16.
And further, if the Board finds the applicant has satisfied the statutory test, and has stated its 
findings on the record, the grant of this variance will memorialize the following:
a)
Variance approval establishes a retaining wall height of 10’ for APN 211-24-137A along 
the southern and eastern perimeter boundary. 
b)
Variance approval establishes a screening wall and retaining wall combination height of 
16’ for APN 211-24-137A along the southern and eastern perimeter boundary.

NON-RESIDENTIAL VARIANCE SUPPLEMENTAL QUESTIONNAIRE
ARS §11-816 B.2 
The Board of Adjustment may allow a variance from the terms of the ordinance when, owing to peculiar 
conditions, a strict interpretation would work an unnecessary hardship, if in granting such variance the 
general intent and purposes of the zoning ordinance will be preserved. 
1.
Please discuss and explain what is/are the peculiar condition(s) facing the property and include reference to the
Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance Regulation(s) or Development Standard(s) to be varied.  Explain the proposed 
use of the property with the variance request. Identify and explain all peculiar conditions on your property in regard
to the following areas: slope, narrowness, shallowness, irregular shape, location, washes, vegetation, and
easements, etc. Explain how enforcement of the Zoning Regulation(s) or Development Standard(s) would impose
a hardship on the property.
2.
Please explain the unnecessary hardship the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance creates because of a peculiar
condition/the peculiar conditions on site. Please discuss and explain that the peculiar condition of the property is
not self-created in the line of title.
The site topography along the southeast portion of the property requires a grading plan that exceeds the retaining wall height limitations
set forth in MZO section 1111.5.2.4.   The request would be to allow an increase of retaining wall (retaining portion) from 6'-0" to 10'-0". 
This wall design would have a 6'-0" non-retaining wall on top of the retaining wall such that the (southerly) neighboring residential
properties privacy is maintained and appears (outwardly) no different than a privacy / screen wall. 
The property was rezoned from Rural 43 to C2-CUPD to allow for 48 for-sale self-storage garage condominium units (reference
Z2023089).  As part of the approval, the site must maintain the following: 120 foot setback from Carefree Highway, 10 foot perimeter
landscape setback, and a 10' wide multi-use path with easement for public use in front of the site.
The site configuration consists of (4) buildings across the site.  Due to the 3rd street alignment required for site ingress and egress and a

As previously mentioned, granting this variance request will not cause any negative impact on the general intent and purpose of the
zoning intent as the variance:
1. Applies only to a minimal (south / eastern) portion of the site / screen walls.
2. Does not have any visibility to the public - only interface is with adjacent residential access road.
3. Will have not have any outward facing appearance of increased retaining wall area.
4. Will provide necessary structural detailing to meet endorsed code (weeps, reinforcement foundation) compliance.
5. Will provide a wall design that is consistent in appearance with adjacent site screen walls.
6. Will allow for a better landscape planting solution than a stepped wall design as it allows greater usable planting area to allow for
