Case #/Title:
Z2022171 – Gamblers Row
Supervisor District:
4
Applicant/Owner:
John Mireles, Hitt-Zollars INC / Jordan Ben JTL LLC
Request:
Special Use Permit (SUP) for an equestrian event facility with an RV
Park in the Rural-43 zoning district
Site Location:
Generally located 500’ west of the SWC of Pete Road and Eagle Eye
Road in the Aguila area
Site Size:
Approximately 74.62 acres
County Island Status:
No
Additional
Comments:
The applicant is seeking a Special Use Permit (SUP) to allow an
equestrian event facility with an RV park in the Rural-43 zoning
district. The subject site is generally located in the Aguila area. The
subject site is currently vacant and surrounded by scattered
residential, rangeland and vacant lots. Approximately 560 acres
abutting the site to the west, north, and south is owned by the
applicant.
The proposed development would be known as Gamblers Row and would include outdoor arenas, an
indoor arena, 298 parking stalls, areas for retail and concession vendors, and an announcer booth. The
applicant is proposing on having events seasonally during the months of October through March during
daylight hours.
Additionally, the development would include two (2) RV parks with 140 spaces and 3 comfort stations.
The RV Park would be opened throughout the year for the public and spectators. Horse stables are
proposed to be located east of the RV parks for seasonal residents to board their horses.
Staff notes that a large-scale equestrian facility in a remote location in an equestrian community
proximate to a highway is an appropriate land use. Staff also notes that much of the immediately
surrounding land is under the control of the applicant and project supporters. However, there is
significant opposition from the surrounding local community particularly to the north. This includes two
residential airparks concerned with their airplanes spooking horses at the proposed facility. These
opponents argue the local community is not an equestrian community as is Forepaugh and Wickenburg
to the east but is an aviation community.

On December 6, 2023, the Board remanded the case back to the Commission. Since the case was
remanded, the applicant modified the project and conducted additional outreach to the surrounding
neighbors. This resulted in 54 additional support letters and three previous opposition letters being
rescinded. There has been no new opposition received. During the January 25, 2024 P&Z hearing there
was a total of 20 people from the public that spoke in opposition, 6 in opposition that did not speak, and
10 that spoke in support. Staff counted approximately 30 persons in attendance in opposition and 60
persons in attendance in support of the project.
Below are maps showing project opposition/support from December 2023 versus January 2024.

As of the publishing of this report, staff has received a total of 448 letters of support and 176 letters of
opposition. Staff notes most of the letters are duplicates with 75 neighboring properties being in
opposition and 177 neighboring properties being in support.
Project opposition is concerned with drainage, dust, lighting, noise, traffic, manure disposal, and the
proximity of existing airparks.
The applicant also proposed mitigation measures to the concerns brought up from the opposition. The
applicant is proposing on watering the site to mitigate dust, spread out their events through-out the
day/week/month to control the amount of traffic coming onto the site, and to have events end no later
than 10:00 p.m. to be able to have the lights off by 11:00 pm. They are proposing on providing shielded
lighting facing downward towards the arena and to keep amplified noise to a minimum with the speakers
facing to the south away from the residential neighborhoods to the north. The applicant has also noted
that there is no drainage impact as flows from the site do not enter the wash until after it crosses Eagle
Eye Road.
Finally, as a recommended condition of approval the SUP will be limited to a 10-year duration allowing
Gamblers Row to demonstrate it can be a good neighbor to Aguila and the residential airparks. The SUP
can be extended or terminated when it comes up for review at the end of the ten years.

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.

Project Summary:
1.
The applicant is requesting a special use permit (SUP) for an equestrian event facility with an RV
Park in the Rural-43 zoning district. The Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance (MCZO) under
Articles 1301.1.11 (Special Uses) describes the following: “Land use involving large assemblage
of people” and Article 1301.1.17 “Travel Trailer of recreation vehicle (RV) parks,”. The subject site
is comprised of 74.62 acres and is located approximately 500 feet west of the SWC of Pete Road
and Eagle Eye Road in the Aguila area.
2.
The subject site abuts scattered residential and vacant lots to the east, north, west, and south.
The vacant property to the west recently received a recommendation of approval by the Planning
and Zoning Commission for the 140.55 acre Ben Jordan Acre Preliminary Plat consisting of 45
residential lots and 7 tracts directly west of the subject site (S2022008). Approximately 560 acres
surrounding the subject site to the north, west, and south are owned by the same owner of this
application.
3.
The development of the equestrian event facility would be known as Gambler’s Row. The facility
would consist of two 34,000 square foot outdoor arenas, one 34,000 indoor arena, cattle holding
pens, cattle sorting pens, public parking, areas for retail and concession vendors, and public
restrooms. The applicant states the equine events would occur seasonally between the months
of October and March during the daylight hours. The outdoor arenas are proposed to have lighting
that will comply with Section 1112 of the MCZO and speakers that will be pointed in a southerly
direction towards vacant land.
4.
The indoor arena would include four separate 4,900 square foot pens, a 1,600 square foot hay
shed, and 1,600 square foot shop. The two outdoor arenas would each include four, 4,800 square
foot pends, two, 1,600 square foot holding pens, six sorting and shipping pens, one announcer
booth, and concession stands that will be prefabricated shipping containers.
5.
In addition, the applicant is also proposing two RV parks within Gambler’s ROW, West RV Park
and East RV Park, that will consist of a 140 total spaces, with three comfort stations. The RV
parks will be operated as part of the equestrian facility for event participants. The proposed
comfort stations will include restrooms, showers, and laundry facilities that will only be exclusive
for the RV park resident. Horse stalls are proposed to be located east of the RV parks for residents
to rent for their horses.
6.
The applicant is proposing a total of 298 parking spaces for participants and spectators on the
eastern portion of the subject site with 13 ADA parking spaces near the indoor arena. In addition
to the RV, additional parking spaces will be provided within each individual RV stall for resident’s
individual vehicle. Access to the site is proposed along Gambler’s Way on the south portion of the
site for participants and spectators. Another access point is proposed on the west side of the site
for RV’s, hay and cattle trucks.

neighborhood outreach efforts.
8.
*The applicant provided an updated narrative report to staff dated December 21, 2023 where they
propose to shield direct lighting downward towards the arena as well to keep sound amplification
to a minimum with the speakers facing downward and to the south away from the residential
development located north of the site. The applicant provided a lighting and sound exhibit, shown

Public Participation Summary:
14.
The applicant met the minimum ordinance requirements for outreach with the posting of the
property and notification to all property owners of record within 300 feet of the subject site. In
addition, the applicant held a neighborhood meeting February 2, 2023, inviting 114 property
owners that live in the subdivision north of the site and within the split lots.
15.
The applicant states in their citizen participation report that a notice inviting property owners was
mailed January 26, 2023. The neighborhood meeting was held at the Aguila Fire Station with 40
attendees and was approximately one-a-half hour in length. During the meeting the applicant
answered questions and addressed concerns raised by the attendees. The main issues that were
brought up during the meeting were drainage, manure disposal, lighting, sound from speakers,
policing, horse riding, and dust. The applicant states in their citizen participation report that they
acknowledge and discussed solutions to each concern as follows:
Z2022171
Page 8 of 14
a. Drainage: Citizens raised the concern regarding drainage ponding north of the subject site,
the applicant assured them that they would be in compliance to the County’s polices
regarding the amount of flow that would be coming from the subject site.
b. Manure Disposal: Citizens raised concerns regarding the disposal of manure. The
applicant assured them that the manure from arenas, holding pens, sorting pens, and
horse stall would be removed daily and placed in dumpsters that will be hauled to the farm
and dumped on a weekly basis.
c. Light/Sound: Citizens raised concerns regarding lights facing their home and the noise
that will be caused during the events. The applicant assured them that lights will be in
compliance to MCZO and would only be on during the events and amplified
announcements would be very minimal with the speakers facing downwards so the noise
does not travel.
d. Policing: Citizen raised concerns regarding having police present during the events. The
applicant assured them that security would be provided during event days.
e. Horse Riding: Citizens raised concerns with off-site horse riding within the air park to the
north and suggested the applicant propose signs along Pete Road restricting horse riding
in that area. The applicant agreed to put up signs.
f. Dust: Citizens raised concerns with dust being a health concern to the surrounding
citizens. The applicants informed them that dust would be mitigated by water trucks
watering the site to contain any dust from being picked up into the air.
16.
The property owner initially requested a continuance from a September 14th Planning and Zoning
Commission hearing to a November 2nd hearing in order to conduct additional public outreach
since staff received 11 letters of opposition and a petition of opposition with 73 signatures. The
letters of opposition stated concerns regarding the use not being appropriate for a residential
area due to dust, noise and traffic the use will attract to the subject site.
17.
The applicant held an additional neighborhood meeting on September 25, 2023 inviting the
community of Aguila, including residents of nearby towns and close neighbors. Per the applicants’
citizen participation results, the meeting was approximately 1½ hours with approximately 76
attendees. The applicant prepared a brochure that provided citizens with the project background
and answers to the concerns that have been brought up by neighbors. The applicant also reached
out to citizens that are highly opposed to the project, and the applicant states they were able to
answer all their questions and that many of the citizens that opposed the project had no issues.
Staff has not received recalls to any of the received opposition. The applicant has made no
additional changes to their project due to the additional public outreach results.
18.
Since the September 14th continuance, staff has received an additional 92 letters of opposition,
staff notes most of the letters are duplicates, with 78 surrounding property owners being in
opposition. Additionally, the applicant provided staff a total of 437 letters of support and staff
has received an additional 11 letters of support, most of them being duplicates as well, with 177
property owners being the total in support.
19.
*Since the December 6, 2023 Board of Supervisors decision to remand the case back to the
Commission, the applicant completed additional outreach to the surrounding neighbors. In the
updated citizen participation report, the applicant states they have gone door-to-door to gain
Z2022171
Page 9 of 14
additional support, and have obtained an additional 66 letters of support. Staff notes some of the
letters are duplicates from the initial report; only 54 new property owners being in support. Staff
is not aware of any previous opposition rescinded.
20.
*The applicant has also obtained a letter of support from Crystal Mathwich, a member of the
Valley of the Eagle Management Co (VEMCO) Airpark Communication stating the Samply Airpark
is in support of this project. Staff has not received individual letters from the property owners that
reside within the Samply Airpark.
21.
*The applicant also states in the updated citizen participation report results that there are many
residents that were in opposition that now support the project, but staff has not received any
updated letters from those previously opposed. As of this report, staff believes there are still 78
surrounding property owners in opposition to this project.

Staff Analysis:
23.
Staff notes the proposed equestrian event facility with an RV park is a high-intensity, large-scale
use which is appropriate for this location and the proposed conditions could make the site work
with the surrounding residential/rural neighborhood.
24.
There is no condition regarding noise, but the applicant states in their proposal that amplified
noise will be kept to a minimum with the speakers facing downward. Staff did recommend an 8-
foot CMU wall around the site to serve as a buffer, but the applicant rejected the recommendation
due to them providing approximately a quarter mile buffer of vacant land surrounding the site.
Staff acknowledges the site is abutting a right-of-way (Eagle Eye Road) on the eastern boundary,
and on the west boundary the site is abutting a future subdivision that was recently approved in
the Preliminary Plat phase (case no. S2022008). The applicant currently owns the subdivision to
the west, and they have indicated they anticipate the future property owners within the subdivision
will use the subject site.
25.
Staff had initially proposed a condition to only allow three (3) events per month, but the applicant
rejected the recommendation due to the possibility of a negative economic impact to the project.
Staff worked with the applicant and condition this SUP to only allow a maximum of 80 events per
year. Each event would be subject to the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., with lights being
required to be off by 11:00 p.m. for safety.
26.
Staff notes that support letters were provided within the 300’ buffer, but the applicant of this SUP
owns approximately 461.24 acres near and surrounding the site that is including within the 300’
buffer. Staff recognizes the applicants’ additional efforts to reach out to surrounding property
owners, but no additional measures have been proposed to meet the concerns provided by the
neighbors to overturn any opposition. Due to the significant opposition received from properties
near the subject site, staff cannot support the SUP and recommends denial due to the concerns
brought up by the neighbors.
27.
Staff notes the concerns for dust. The Air Pollution Control Regulations Rule 310.01 was adopted
January 27, 2010 and is regulated and enforced by MCAQ. Rule 310.01 covers “non-traditional
dust generating activities, including livestock activities. The purpose of Rule 310.01 states:
To minimize the amount of fugitive dust entrained into the ambient air from non-traditional
sources of fugitive dust by requiring measures to prevent, reduce, or mitigate fugitive dust
emissions.
216. Livestock Activities: Any activity directly related to feeding animals, displaying animals,
racing animals, exercising animals, and/or for any other such activity including, but not
limited to, livestock arenas, horse arenas, feed lots, and residential activities related to
feeding or raising animals.
28.
Staff notes the concerns for noise disturbance. The Noise Ordinance (P-23) was adopted
February 15, 2006 and is regulated and enforced by MCSO. The purpose of P-23 states:
At and above certain levels, noise is detrimental to the health and welfare of Maricopa County
citizens. Therefore, Maricopa County has determined that it is in the best interest of its citizens
to control noise in a manner which promotes commerce; the use, value, and enjoyment of
property; sleep and repose; and environmental quality. Therefore, it is hereby declared to be
the policy of Maricopa County to prohibit excessive, unnecessary, disruptive, and annoying
Z2022171
Page 11 of 14
noises from all sources. The noise ordinance applies to properties within unincorporated
Maricopa County.
V. Public Disturbances
A. It shall be unlawful for any person to cause, or for any person in possession of property
to allow to originate from the property, any noise which disturbs the peace or quiet of any
neighborhood if such noise can be heard from within closed residential structures
located within 500 feet of the boundary of the property from which such noise emanates.
This subsection shall not apply to noise produced in the normal conduct of business
provided that such noise occurs within the normal and customary hours for the conduct
of such business, which is based on the normal and customary hours of operation of
similar, existing businesses, and the operation is legally conducted within the scope of
all ordinances, laws, and statutes of Maricopa County and the State of Arizona.
29.
*Staff recognizes the applicant’s efforts to work with the surrounding neighbors and to address
those concerns with project modifications and clarification of mitigating project aspects. Staff
notes that there is still the same amount of opposition surrounding the project. However, project
modifications have addressed concerns with regard to dust, lighting, noise (amplified speakers),
equestrian/aviation conflict and traffic:
Dust – A water truck shall be employed to control dust within arenas and on site. All access to
the site is via Eagle Eye Rd. which is paved;
Lighting – All lighting shall exceed ordinance requirements and be shielded 20 degrees below the
horizontal plane directed downwards and not to trespass onto adjacent properties;
Noise – All amplified speakers will be installed so sound is directed southward away from
residential properties north of the site;
Aviation Conflict – runway protection zones of two private airstrips located north of the site due
not encroach onto nor encumber the site; and further the operator show notify all persons entering
the site that there are private aviation operations in the immediate vicinity; and
Traffic – the operator shall employ security persons for traffic control on event days.
30.
*Staff is supportive of the SUP, despite community opposition, based upon these mitigation
measures which are included as conditions in staff’s recommendation.
Recommendation:
31.
*For the reasons outline in this report, staff recommends approval of Z2022171 subject to the
following conditions ‘a’ – ‘n’:

Noncompliance with any Maricopa County regulation or ordinance shall be grounds for
initiating revocation of this SUP as set forth in the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance.
j.
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.
k.
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
Z2022171
Page 13 of 14
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.
l.
*A water truck shall be employed to control dust within arenas and on site.
m.
*The operator show notify all persons entering the site that there are private aviation
operations in the immediate vicinity via signage at site entrances.
n.

as applicable which establishes guidelines and conditions for temporary uses. The
following conditions shall apply:
Security
1. At least one patrolman or security guard for every 500 persons in attendance.

2.

purposes. The quality and quantity of water and location of facilities shall be
approved by the Maricopa County Environmental Services Department.
4.

one closed toilet facility shall be provided. A toilet for each 40 males and for each
40 persons. The number and location of toilets shall be approved by the Maricopa
County Environmental Services Department.

GAMBLER’S ROW
1 PURPOSE OF REQUEST
Wickenburg is about 25 miles east of the subject project. Wickenburg advertises itself
as the team roping capital of the world. They may be right. Thousands of people travel to
Wickenburg during the winter season to participate in team roping events. The owner wishes
to construct a facility for equine events that require cattle such as team roping, cutting,
working cow horse and others as well as a RV Park. The proposed name of the facility is
Gambler’s Row.
2 LOCATION
Gambler’s Row proposed location will be adjacent to the west side of Eagle Eye Rd.
about 1,485 feet south of the intersection of Pete Road and Eagle Eye Road in Section 34,
Township 7N, Range 9W. It will occupy APN 506-06-061B and a portion of the south half of APN
506-06-061A which will require an interior lot line adjustment. The proposed Gambler’s Row is
also located east of and adjacent to a proposed 45 lot subdivision being developed by the
owner of Gambler’s Row under subdivision case number S2022008.
3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Gambler’s Row will consist of two outdoor arenas, one indoor arena, cattle holding
pens, cattle sorting pens, parking areas, areas for retail and concession vendors, public
restrooms, RV parks, RV park comfort stations, RV park office, horse stalls, facility shop and hay
storage. The RV Park will be owned and operated by the owner of Gambler’s Row. Gambler’s
Row will see seasonal usage. The season starts in October and ends in March. Events are
planned for daylight hours. On occasions, due to participants beyond expectation, events may
NARRATIVE REPORT
GAMBLER’S ROW
last into the evening hours. That is why the outdoor arenas have lighting. The Maricopa County
outdoor noise regulations will be followed. Also, all PA system speakers will be pointed in a
southerly direction toward vacant land.
3.1
RV Park
Two RV Parks are proposed for Gambler’s Row referred to as the West RV Park
and the East RV Park. The West RV Park consists of 95 spaces and two comfort
stations. The East RV Park consists of 45 spaces and one comfort station. The
RV Parks will be owned and operated by the owner of Gambler’s Row as a part
of the equine event facility. The comfort stations will contain restrooms,
showers and laundry facilities. The comfort stations are for the exclusive use
of the RV Park residents. They are not public restrooms. All of the spaces are
pull-throughs and angled at 45° to all streets. The RV Park interior streets are
all one way with proposed construction matching paragraph 11.0 below. A
check in booth / office is also provided. See the table below for estimated
occupancy. The RV Park is for event participants. The lower summer season
occupancy corresponds with the lower number of events as shown in the
indoor arena event table in Paragraph 3.2 and a lower number of participants
per event.

as needed.
NARRATIVE REPORT
GAMBLER’S ROW
10 RELATIONSHIP TO SURROUNDING PROPERTIES
This proposed project is adjacent to and west of Eagle Eye Road about 1,485 feet south
of Pete Road. The property to the north between this project and Pete Road (506-06-061A)
belongs to the owner of this project, is zoned RU-43 and is un-developed and vacant. The
property to the south (506-06-059A) belongs to the owner of this project, is zoned RU-43 and is
undeveloped and vacant. The property to the west (506-06-060) belongs to the owner of this
project, is zoned RU-43 and is undeveloped and vacant. The owner of this project proposes to
develop a 45 lot subdivision on this property under subdivision case number S2022008. The
property to the east, on the east side of Eagle Eye road (506-06-062) is zoned RU-43 and is
undeveloped and vacant.
11 CIRCULATION SYSTEMS
11.1 A separate Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was prepared for the facility and the
proposed 45 lot subdivision to the west of and adjacent to the facility. The TIA
is enclosed with the SUP application package.
11.2 The proposed construction of interior streets is compacted native material
overlain with 1.0” of 3/4" minus crushed rock. The proposed drainage channel
crossings are at grade crossings. There will be more horse traffic on the interior
streets than vehicle traffic. The proposed street construction will be far less
conducive to legs injuries than pavement. In addition to the pickups hauling
horses and cars with spectators traveling to and from events, there will be
tractor trailer rigs entering and leaving Gambler’s Row with cattle and hay. A
NARRATIVE REPORT
GAMBLER’S ROW
separate entrance for these rigs is provided on the west side of Gambler’s Row.
At the peak of the season there will be 2.0 hay trucks and 1.0 cattle trucks
entering and leaving per week.
11.3 The main access to the site is on the south side of the east parking lot from a
new street called Gambler’s Way. Access to the site by hay and cattle truck is
on the west side, north of the RV Park from 519th Avenue. There are no interior
rights-of-way.
12 PARKING
The event that will draw the most participants will be team roping. The largest event is
expected to consist of 1,050 teams. Article 1102.1 of the Ordinance requires one parking space
per 200 square feet of floor area. There is no floor area since the indoor arena is an arena for
equine event use. There will be bleachers measuring 20 ft by 200 ft at each arena. 3 arenas *
20 ft * 200 ft is 12,000 square feet. At one parking space per 200 square feet, 60 parking spaces
would be required. 298 parking spaces are being provided because parking is needed for
participants more than spectators. Rancho Rio, a similar facility in Wickenburg, has the largest
events with the most participants. It has two outdoor arenas and six total acres of parking.
Gambler’s Row will have three arenas and 15 acres of parking. Parking spaces are restricted to
event participants and spectators. There is no public parking. Sheet 2 of the plans shows the
layout of the RV spaces with one vehicle parking space per RV space.

The potable water provider is Aguila Water Services, Inc. (AWS), a
private water company regulated by the Corporation Commission. AWS has a
main of various sizes under Pete Road from Eagle Eye Road approximately
3,900 feet west. The largest pipe size in the main is 4 inch. It is proposed that
the entire main be converted to 4 inch pipe and extended along Pete Road to
the Northwest corner of Section 34.
14.2
The owner of Gambler’s Row is developing a proposed 45 lot
subdivision west of and adjacent to Gambler’s Row under subdivision case

GAMBLER’S ROW
number S2022008. It is proposed that the re-built main under Pete Road feed
a new water storage tank located on the south side of Pete Road within the
subdivision as part of a satellite system that will serve the subdivision and
Gambler’s Row. The storage tank will discharge, through pressure pumps, to
mains flowing south within the subdivision to a main within the Section 34
east-west mid-section line road, Gambler’s Way, which will feed Gambler’s Row
to the east.
14.3
There are no wastewater treatment facilities within 30 miles of the
subject project. Wastewater collection, treatment and disposal will be by on
site systems.
14.4
There will be up to 820 head of horses and cattle housed at Gambler’s
Row. In addition, Gambler’s Row will consume up to 31,000 gallons of water
per day for dust control. This water is not required to be potable. A separate
water system, not connected to the potable system, will be constructed to fill
these water needs. The system will include a well, water storage, pressure
pumps and a water distribution system.
14.5
The Aguila Volunteer Fire Department provides local fire protection.
Gambler’s Row will provide fire hydrants, water mains, water storage and
pressure pumps in accordance with their requirements.
14.6

Project Summary:
The proposed single family home development and event center is located
near the southwest corner of Pete Rd and Eagle Eye Rd in unincorporated
Maricopa County.
The proposed equine event center is planned to consist of two (2) event
buildings, three (3) arenas, restaurant, retail store, and RV park with
additional parking for event days. The site proposes new private roadways
providing access to the event center.
The proposed residential development is planned to consist of 48 single-
family homes over 115 acres. The site proposes a total of three (3)
driveways, two (2) new driveways on Pete Rd and one (1) new driveway on a
new private road.
Per the TIS, the trip generation is based on ITE LUC code 220 – Single
Family Detached Housing. Without an appropriate ITE LUC code for an event
center, various calculations were used from similar studies. Upon opening in
2023, with maximum event volume, the combined sites are anticipated to
generate 1,830 total daily trips with 367 AM peak hour trips and 248 PM peak
hour trips.
Review Comments:
The south bound right turn deceleration lane, as identified in the study on
Eagle Eye Rd with minimum storage of 160 feet, is acceptable to MCDOT.
The classification of Eagle Eye Rd is principal arterial roadway. As part of
half-street improvements, dedicate a minimum 65’ ROW to MCDOT along site
frontage of Eagle Eye Rd.
As the new interior roadways will remain private, MCDOT has no further
comment on this matter.
The Traffic Impact Study is Approved as noted.

Drainage Design Manual for Maricopa County
Hydraulics: Open Channels
abruptly over a relatively short distance. Examples of rapidly varied flow include local phenom-
ena, such as hydraulic jumps and hydraulic drops. Under steady flow conditions, if the depth of
flow along the length of the channel gradually increases or decreases it is gradually varied. This
is the usual condition in open channel flow. Gradually varied flow occurs under either subcritical
or supercritical flow regimes. Water surface profile computations are required to estimate the
depth of flow for varied flow conditions at any given location as described in Section 6.3.6.
6.3.2
Flow Regimes
Froude Number
The state of open channel flow is governed by the effects of viscosity and gravity relative to the
inertial forces of the flow. The effect of gravity on the state of flow is represented by a ratio of
inertial forces to gravity forces. This ratio is given by the Froude number, defined as:
F
= ~
rJid
(6.1)
where V is the mean velocity (ft/sec), g is the acceleration of gravity (ft/sec2), and d is the hydrau-
lic depth (ft) which is the cross sectional area of the water, A (sq ft), divided by the width of the
free surface, T (ft).
0
When F,. is equal to 1, the flow is in the critical state. This flow condition is unstable and flow
C
depths at or near critical depth should be avoided. If F,. is less than 1, the flow is subcritical and
gravity forces dominate. When F,. is greater than 1, the flow is supercritical and inertial forces
predominate.
Specific Energy
Specific energy in a channel section is defined as the energy per pound of water at any section of
a channel measured with respect to the channel bottom and may be expressed as:
v2
2
E = y+ -
= y+ __Q_
2g
2gA2
(6.2)
When the depth of flow is plotted against the specific energy for a given channel section and dis-
charge, a specific energy curve is obtained (Figure 6.1 ).
The specific energy curve has two
limbs, AC and BC. The limb AC approaches the horizontal axis asymptotically toward the right.
The limb BC approaches the line 00 as it extends upwards and to the right. The line 00 has an
angle of inclination equal to 45°. At any point P on this curve, the ordinate represents the depth
of flow, and the abscissa represents the specific energy that is equal to the sum of the pressure
head, y, and the velocity head, V2!2g . The curve shows that, for a given specific energy, there

are two possible depths, the low stage, y 1, and the high stage, Y2· The low stage is called the
alternate depth of the high stage and vice versa.
At point C, the specific energy is a minimum and the stage is at critical depth. When the depth of
flow is greater than the critical depth, the velocity of flow is less than the critical velocity and the
flow is subcritical. When the depth of flow is less than the critical depth, the flow is supercritical.
Inspection of the energy curve in the vicinity of critical depth reveals that a small change in the
energy will result in a relatively large change in the depth of flow. For this reason, it is strongly
recommended that flow depths producing Froude numbers between 0.87 and 1.13 be avoided.
The Froude Number limit for all types of channel linings is F,.-:; 0.86. For concrete and shotcrete
lined channels, the additional range of 1.13-:;, F,.-:;, 2.0 is allowed. F,. should not fall between 0.86
and 1.13 in order to maintain stable flow conditions.
Due to safety concerns resulting from
excessively high velocities and intractable hydraulic forces, the recommended upper limit of F,. is
2.0 except at certain structures such as drop structures.
