Project Summary: 
 
1. 
The applicant, Kim Ptak of Hassayampa Highlands, LLC, is requesting a Zone Change from C-S 
to C-2 on four parcels (503-26-004B, 503-26-004D, 503-26-004J, and 503-26-004P) in the 
Morristown area. Parcel 503-26-004B is owned by Healthcare Career Management, LLC. The 
other three subject parcels are owned by Hassayampa Highlands, LLC. Both property owners 
have signed onto the application. The subject properties surround all four corners of the 
intersection of Castle Hot Springs Road and Grand Avenue (US 60), just south of Rockaway Hills 
Drive. Put together, the four parcels comprise approximately 11.7 acres. However, none of the 
four parcels individually is equal to or greater than five acres, the minimum acreage required for 
the C-S zoning district. Furthermore, the four parcels are not contiguous, and the C-S zoning on 
each is interrupted by the non-zoned right-of-way for Castle Hot Springs Road and Grand Avenue. 
 
2. 
The C-S zoning onsite was the result of a zoning case from the 1980s, specifically Case Z83-169, 
which the planning & zoning commission recommended for approval on May 3, 1984. The request 
was subsequently approved by the board of supervisors. Ironically, the request for Z83-169 had 
been to rezone the parcels from Rural-43 to C-2 (the same zoning being requested by the current 
applicant). However, the planning & zoning commission minutes from 1984 recorded the 
deliberations between planning staff and the commissioners, with the commissioners favoring a 
zone change to C-S instead of C-2. 
 
3. 
As the approval of Z83-169 occurred nearly 40 years ago, detailed records of the case, or of the 
parcels themselves from that time, are very limited. That said, the applicant notes in the narrative 
report that the C-S zoning has restricted development opportunities onsite. Per Section 801 of 
the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance (MCZO), the principal purpose of the C-S zoning district 
is to provide for “well-designed and attractive” retail shopping facilities on sites not less than five 
acres in size. However, none of the four parcels subject to this request meets or exceeds this 
requirement. The largest of the four, Parcel 503-26-004B, comprises approximately 4.3 acres. The 
smallest of the four, Parcel 503-26-004D, comprises approximately 1.6 acres. The applicant is not 
a developer, and per the narrative, repeated attempts at selling the parcels to would-be developers 
have failed due to the restrictions created by the current zoning. 
 
4. 
Even if the parcels could be developed, the current C-S zoning is intended primarily for large 
shopping centers and strip mall developments, which would likely run afoul of the goals and 
policies of the Wickenburg Highway Scenic Corridor (which was adopted seven years after the 
subject parcels were rezoned to C-S). The narrative argues that such developments would incur 
high infrastructure costs, generate significant increases in traffic in what is otherwise a quiet 
community, and create other disturbances such as light pollution. On the other hand, rezoning the 
parcels to C-2 would not only make them developable, but would permit a far more diverse array 
of options for developing the site in a manner more appropriate for the small Morristown 
community. At present, commercial uses in Morristown are virtually nonexistent; a zone change 
to C-2 at the intersection of Grand Avenue and Castle Hot Springs Road could encourage 
development of low-intensity uses that benefit residents and travelers alike. The narrative 
envisions examples of such uses, including a gas station, a general store or small market, a 
tractor supply store, an urgent care center, a hardware store, a veterinary clinic, an animal feed 
store, a daycare, restaurants, a plant nursery, and a secure self-storage facility. The narrative 
argues that such uses, if developed onsite, could eventually create an authentic “Main Street” feel 
for Morristown, where such character is currently lacking. 
 
5. 
Staff notes that the original request did not include Parcel 503-26-004B but did include Parcel 
503-26-004H. The latter is zoned Rural-43 and, like the other three parcels originally subject to

Z2022203 
Page 3 of 11 
this request, is owned by the applicant, Hassayampa Highlands, LLC. This parcel is legally 
nonconforming, as it is under one acre in size, but has existed in this configuration since before 
the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance was adopted in 1969, as shown on historic zoning maps 
available to staff. Nonetheless, during the technical advisory committee (TAC) meeting held 
January 3, 2023, the applicant was advised that staff would be unlikely to recommend approval 
of a zone change on this parcel. It is noncontiguous with the other three parcels, separated from 
them by a portion of Parcel 503-26-006A, which is owned by the BNSF Railway. 
 
6. 
Staff encouraged the applicant to drop the Rural-43 parcel from the application and instead reach 
out to Healthcare Career Management, LLC, with a proposal to incorporate Parcel 503-26-004B 
into the request. This parcel is zoned C-S. Staff advised the applicant that, if this parcel were 
incorporated into the zone change request, a recommendation of approval would be more likely. 
Such a request, if approved, would eliminate nearly all of the C-S zoning in Morristown, and bring 
all four parcels into the C-2 zoning district (alongside eight other parcels in the vicinity). All parcels 
currently zoned Rural-43 would remain zoned as such. The applicant was successful in reaching 
out to Walter and Ilene Watson, the principals of Healthcare Career Management, who agreed to 
sign onto the application and include Parcel 503-26-004B as part of the zone change request. 
 
7. 
The request does not include a plan of development. Nonetheless, the applicant has identified 
utility providers and submitted will-serve letters from the Morristown Water Company, Arizona 
Public Service, Southwest Gas, and the Circle City / Morristown Volunteer Fire Department. Staff 
notes that these will-serve letters were obtained and submitted prior to the inclusion of Parcel 
503-26-004B as part of the request. For this reason, the will-serve letters have been obtained only 
for Parcels 503-26-004D, 503-26-004J, and 503-26-004P.

Adopted Plans: 
 
11. 
White Tank / Grand Avenue Area Plan (adopted December 6, 2000): The White Tank / Grand 
Avenue Area Plan designates the site as a combination of Rural Densities (0 – 1 dwelling units 
per acre) and Small Lot Residential (2 – 5 dwelling units per acre). 
 
The Rural Densities category “identifies areas where single-family residential development is 
desirable, but unique circumstances dictate lower density where urban services such as sewer, 
water, schools, roads, and emergency services are limited or nonexistent. Suitability is determined 
based on location, access, existing land use patterns, and natural or human constraints. Densities 
greater than 1.0 dwelling unit per acre may be permitted in new development, but only if areas of 
lower densities offset the increase such that an average of no more than 1.0 dwelling unit per 
acre is maintained. Uses in this category include agriculture and single-family residential. 
 
The Small Lot Residential category “identifies areas where increased residential density 
development is appropriate and urban services such as sewer, water, schools, parks, and fire and 
police protection are available. Single-family development may be permitted, provided that overall 
development densities do not exceed 5.0 dwelling units per acre. Densities greater than 5.0 
dwelling units per acre may be permitted in new development, but only if areas of lower density 
offset the increase such that an average of no more than 5.0 dwelling units per acre is maintained. 
A community sewer and water system will be required for development at these densities.” 
 
12. 
Wickenburg Highway Scenic Corridor (adopted January 1991): The Wickenburg Highway Scenic 
Corridor designates the site as a Major Activity Center, which is defined as “locations of primary 
industrial and commercial development in the scenic corridor.” 
 
13. 
City of Surprise General Plan (amended December 19, 2015): The City of Surprise General Plan 
places the site within the Neighborhood Character Area, which allows for locally oriented 
commercial uses. The site also falls within the Transit Oriented Development overlay district. 
 
Public Participation Summary: 
 
14. 
The applicant complied with the requirements of the Citizen Review Process with the required 
posting of the property and notification by first class mail to interested parties and notification to 
adjacent property owners within 300’ of the subject parcels. Staff has not received any calls or 
correspondence regarding the request, and there is no known opposition. The applicant has 
submitted a letter of support from Lisa Miller, the owner of Parcel 503-22-013 (currently zoned C-
2), less than ¼ mile northwest of the subject parcels along Grand Avenue.

Z2022203 
Page 6 of 11 
15. 
The subject parcels are located within the City of Surprise Municipal Planning Area, albeit several 
miles northwest of the current city limits. The applicant contacted Surprise, which reviewed the 
application documents and confirmed that the request to rezone to C-2 is “generally consistent 
with the Surprise General Plan 2035.” 
 
Outstanding Concerns from Reviewing Agencies: 
 
16. 
N/A 
 
Staff Analysis: 
 
17. 
The four subject parcels have had commercial zoning for nearly 40 years. And yet, due to the 
undersized and noncontiguous nature of each parcel, realization of commercial uses is 
impossible with the current C-S zoning, and all four remain vacant. Rezoning the parcels to C-2 
would allow for the future development of intermediate commercial uses onsite similar to those 
allowed in the C-S zoning district, albeit without the five-acre limitation. Although both C-S and C-
2 are commercial zoning districts, C-2 is considered more intense than C-S. For this reason, the 
zone change request does face a potential conflict with the goals of the Wickenburg Highway 
Scenic Corridor (WHSC), which discourages (but does not prohibit) additional commercial zoning. 
To accommodate commercial uses where needed, the WHSC Development Guide does 
encourage the “transfer of commercial zoning”, whereby existing commercial zoning may be 
changed to another commercial zoning district of equal or less intensity (where C-O is the least 
intense, followed by C-S, C-1, and C-2, with C-3 being the most intense). 
 
18. 
Another potential conflict arises from the Scenic Overlay Zoning District regulations, which would 
place additional limitations on future development. This Overlay extends two miles from the edge 
of the right-of-way on either side of Grand Avenue, and is divided into four intensity levels (or 
“Classes”). The subject parcels fall specifically within Classes 2 and 4, which are defined as 
follows: 
 
• 
Class 2 – 300 feet to ¼ mile from Wickenburg Highway Right-of-way 
 
• 
Class 4 – 0 to 300 feet from Wickenburg Highway Right-of-way; from Rocking Hills Drive 
alignment south to Bell Road (Surprise). 
 
The Class 2 intensity level imposes minimal restrictions on development beyond baseline zoning 
regulations. The only development standard made more restrictive is for building height, which is 
limited to 33 feet in Class 2 (as opposed to 40 feet for C-S and C-2). However, the Class 4 intensity 
level (which encompasses all of Parcels 503-26-004D and 503-26-004P on the southwest side of 
the highway, as well as much of Parcels 503-26-004B and 503-26-004J on the northeast side) is 
decidedly more restrictive, particularly for landscape setbacks. Specifically, Class 4 establishes a 
minimum setback of 25 feet from the ultimate right-of-way line of Grand Avenue. These setbacks 
restrict not only structures, but parking areas and other improvements as well, except driveways 
and freestanding signs. For lots less than 250 feet in depth, the minimum setback is set at 10% 
of the lot depth, but not less than that required by the baseline zoning district. 
 
The two subject parcels southwest of Grand Avenue have particularly narrow lot depths. Though 
it varies for each, Parcel 503-26-004P has a lot depth of 119.68 feet at its closest point to the 
highway right-of-way, whereas Parcel 502-26-004D has a lot depth under 100’ at its closest points 
to the right-of-way. Though these lot depths reduce the required landscape setbacks, they do 
illustrate the difficulties that lie ahead for future developers on these two parcels specifically,

Z2022203 
Page 7 of 11 
even if the zone change request is ultimately approved. To mitigate this problem, staff 
encouraged the applicant to contact the owner of a large, 9.1-acre parcel (APN 503-26-006A, 
currently zoned Rural-43) between his own two parcels and the railway right-of-way. If the owner 
of this other parcel were to sign onto the application, the three parcels southwest of the highway 
could be combined, significantly increasing the amount of developable land should the zone 
change request be approved. However, the owner of this parcel is the BNSF Railway, and it was 
understood that a response was unlikely. The applicant contacted the Railway on January 12, 
2023. No response was received. The narrative report submitted by the applicant argues that 
small-intensity uses could still be developed for these parcels, such as a small store or restaurant, 
or perhaps even a vintage railway coach converted to a diner. 
 
19. 
With the factors outlined above having been considered, it is just as important to note that the 
WHSC Development Guide also has provisions that would favor a zone change. Most notably, it 
designates this exact location as a Major Activity Center. The Guide defines this as “locations of 
primary industrial and commercial development in the scenic corridor.” Incidentally, this is the 
most intense land use designation within the WHSC. It also suggests that a Major Activity Center 
could conceivably support limited industrial zoning, which is significantly more intense than the 
C-2 zoning being requested. In fact, where the Overlay Regulations discourage additional 
commercial zoning, a caveat is made for activity centers. Per page 17 of the Development Guide: 
 
“…because of the amount and proliferation of existing commercial zoning, additional 
commercial zoning that is not located within an activity center, along major arterial 
streets or within an approved Development Master Plan, will be discouraged.” [Emphasis 
added.] 
 
20. 
The map below shows the various land use designations throughout the Corridor, with the 
intersection of Grand Avenue and Castle Hot Springs Road in Morristown clearly designated for 
a Major Activity Center. 
 
Exhibit 3 – Wickenburg Highway Scenic Corridor Land Use Plan

21. 
Several of the goals and policies outlined in the WHSC Development Guide could be interpreted 
to support a zone change to C-2 in this location: 
 
• 
Scenic Qualities 
 
o Policy: Pursue efforts that would minimize strip commercial developments along 
Grand Avenue. 
 
The current C-S zoning on the subject site encourages the type of strip mall 
development that the WHSC Development Guidelines explicitly discourage. A zone 
change to C-2 would diversify the types of commercial uses allowed onsite and 
create opportunities for development more specifically tailored to the needs of 
Morristown residents and travelers along Grand Avenue. 
 
• 
Land Use 
 
o Goal: Allow more intense development to locate in or near the unincorporated areas 
of Sun City West, Wittmann, Circle City, Morristown and Wickenburg. 
 
The zone change request is for parcels in Morristown. These parcels already have 
Commercial zoning. The C-2 zoning requested is marginally more intense than the 
current C-S zoning. In fact, from a practical standpoint, the types of uses allowed 
with C-2 zoning would likely generate much less traffic and create fewer 
disturbances for neighbors than a shopping center. 
 
o Goal: Allow high quality residential, commercial, and industrial land developments 
that are compatible with adjacent land use. 
 
There are eight parcels within one mile of the subject site that are already zoned 
C-2 (most of which are vacant), including three to the southeast of the site and five 
to the northwest. The presence of several nearby properties already zoned for 
intermediate commercial uses, together with the Major Activity Center 
designation, strongly suggest that commercial development onsite would be 
compatible with adjacent zoning and land uses. 
 
o Policy: Encourage commercial development to be limited to major intersections. 
 
Castle Hot Springs Road is classified as a future major collector by the MCDOT 
Major Streets and Routes Plan. Likewise, Rockaway Hills Drive is classified as a 
minor arterial. Each of these streets intersects Grand Avenue within or adjacent to 
the subject site. In particular, the intersection of Castle Hot Springs and Grand 
forms the center of the Morristown Major Activity Center, which is one of the few 
locations in the Scenic Corridor where commercial development is explicitly 
encouraged (while remaining sensitive to the WHSC’s other goals and policies). 
 
• 
Zoning 
o Policy: Remove or relocate through voluntary transfers, existing strip commercial 
zoning where feasible to encourage commercial development at appropriate 
locations along the Corridor.

Z2022203 
Page 9 of 11 
The Major Activity Center land use designation makes the subject site an 
appropriate one for commercial zoning. A zone change from C-S to C-2 would 
render the four subject parcels, each under five acres, developable. But even if the 
site could be developed with C-S zoning, said zoning would favor the strip 
commercial uses discouraged within the WHSC. By contrast, rezoning to C-2 
would diversify the types of uses allowed and potentially incentivize more 
appropriate commercial uses for Morristown. 
 
22. 
Based on this analysis, staff is supportive of the request for a zone change from C-S to C-2 on the 
subject parcels. Staff notes that there is currently not a plan of development filed with the zone 
change application. As part of the recommendation of approval, a condition has been included to 
restrict the uses onsite to those that can be accommodated by septic systems (as determined by 
the Maricopa County Environmental Services Department) until such time as the site is served by 
sewer. To facilitate this, a Commercial Unit Plan of Development (CUPD) overlay will be required 
with the zone change to C-2. A public water system and public sewer system will both be required 
prior to the establishment of any non-residential use that requires potable water and sewer. When 
the site is served by both a public water system and a public sewer system, the rezoning will allow 
all uses within the C-2 zoning district. 
 
Recommendation: 
 
23. 
Staff recommends the Commission adopt a motion recommending that the Board of Supervisors 
approve Z2022203 subject to the following conditions ‘a’ – ‘k’: 
 
a. 
Development of the site shall be in conformance with the Zoning Exhibit entitled “Zoning 
Exhibit Z2022203“, consisting of one full-size sheet, dated February 5, 2023, and stamped 
received April 19, 2023, 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.   
 
b. 
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Narrative Report 
entitled “Hassayampa Highlands LLC / Healthcare Career Management LLC”, consisting 
of six pages, dated April 19, 2023, and stamped received April 19, 2023, except as modified 
by the following conditions. 
 
c. 
The following Planning Engineering conditions shall apply: 
 
1. Without the submittal of a precise plan of development, no development approval is 
implied by this review. 
 
2. Any development must ensure that historic drainage patterns are maintained at the up 
and downstream limits of development. 
 
3. A traffic impact study must be submitted with any future entitlement application (i.e., 
plan of development). 
 
4. A portion of the site is encumbered by a regulatory floodplain (FEMA Zone A). Any 
development must be compliant with the Floodplain Regulations for Maricopa County.

Z2022203 
Page 10 of 11 
5. 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. 
 
d. 
All buildings subject to noise attenuation as per ARS § 28-8482(B). 
 
e. 
Zoning approval is conditional per Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance, Article 304.6, and 
ARS § 11-814 for five (5) years for the initial phase and an additional five (5) years for each 
subsequent phase, within which time the subdivision infrastructure permit or construction 
permit for each phase must be obtained.  
 
f. 
The CUPD overlay is applied to restrict the use of the site. Until such time as the site is 
served by sewer, uses on the site shall only be those acceptable to the Maricopa County 
Environmental Services Department (MCESD) that can be accommodated by septic 
systems. A public water system and public sewer system shall be required prior to 
establishment of any non-residential use that requires potable water. 
 
g. 
Prior to initial final plat approval or initial precise plan of development approval, the 
applicant shall submit to the Maricopa County Planning and Development Department 
confirmation of service by Morristown Water Co. and an approved Certificate of 
Convenience and Necessity (CC&N) issued by the State of Arizona. 
 
h. 
Administrative approval of a plan of development will be required prior to approval and 
issuance of construction permits to develop and establish use of the site. Prior to 
issuance of a building permit, written confirmation will be required from the emergency 
fire protection jurisdiction having authority that the facility has been designed in 
accordance with their regulations and requirements, and 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. 
 
i. 
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. 
 
j. 
The property owners 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 landowners.  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.

PG. 2  
B.  PURPOSE OF REQUEST:
     The request is to more properly re-zone 4 parcels from C-S to C-2, with no development plans 
at this time. The purpose is to give the parcels a cohesive, more appropriate zoning for this 
important intersection’s “highest and best use.” 
     There are no commercial services in Morristown, and C-2 would provide a better opportunity 
for individual business that would be beneficial for the rural community of Morristown residents. 
Many are horse property owners, along Castle Hot Springs Rd.  With Hwy 60/89 dividing the 
parcels, it would be infeasible for a group sale required under the 5 ac. minimum for C-S, and 
also represents an extreme hardship to be able to sell the properties with the current C-S zoning.  
         C-S  “shopping center” zoning is outdated and any development concept of that type, 
divided by US Highway 60 is very problematic in various ways: A developer would likely have 
to absorb a huge cost of a traffic light for safe and controlled access for such a large project.  
Infrastructure, and commercial concept cohesiveness and power distribution across the highway 
would be very difficult and costly as well.  The high profile nature of typical shopping center 
elevations and bright lighting would likely be in conflict with the Wickenburg Highway Scenic 
Corridor goals, as well as the nearby home owners.  Smaller, individual, beneficial and specific 
needed amenities offered by C-2, would be a much better fit for the neighborhood, and would 
make it possible to sell the parcels that we inheirited from our parents.  We don’t want pass on 
a problematic property on to our own children/heirs to deal with.

PG. 3
C.  DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL:
     As stated above, the proposal is simply to re-zone, not develop the 4 parcels to C-2 for the
betterment of the community, Wickenburg Highway Scenic Corridor, and as necessary to f
facilitate sales of the parcels.   The options and built in protections for the community offered by 
C-2, have a greater beneficial potential of needed amenities, such as a church, day care center, 
feed store etc., more of an authentic “Main Street” look and feel than a typical C-S development.   
PROPOSED USES: (again. there are no businesses currently serving Morristown)
On 503-26-004J: Gas Station/Auto Repair,  “Tractor Supply” type store. 
On 503-26-004 B:  Urgent care across from the Fire Dept., Hardware Store, Market.
On 503-26-004P: Veterinary, Animal Feed Store, Hardware Store, Day Care/Pre School, 
Restaurant, Specialty Ranch Meats.
On 503-26-004D: Classic Rail Cars Diner & Catering, Plant Nursery/Landscaping/ Yard 
accessories, Secure Self Storage facility, all perfect for this parcel.
D.  RELATIONSHIP TO SURROUNDING PROPERTIES:
     C-2 small business zoning opportunities would better benefit the quiet residential community 
of Morristown, as opposed as opposed to the “antiquated” and less aesthetic C-S zoning.
As stated, there are no businesses whatsoever, and the ones proposed above would fit obvious 
needs very well, for residents and highway travelers.
     There is the Morristown Elementary School and small Post Office across Rockaway Hills 
Rd. from Parcel 503-26-004 J.  The school board has signed an approval letter to the re-zoning

PG. 4
request. They would not be impacted adversely by development of the suggested businesses 
above for that parcel.  Being within 1500’ no liquor sales would be 
permitted under C-2.  Per MCDOT feedback, one driveway would be best located on  Rockaway 
Hills Rd, near Hwy 60, as far away  from the school as possible. (See Conceptual Site Plans in 
Zoning Exhibit/Site Plan).  
     The Volunteer Circle City /Morristown Fire Dept. is to the north of the intersection of 
Rockaway Hills Rd. & Castle Hot Springs Rd., north of the NE corner of Parcel 503-26-004 J 
and the N corner of Parcel 503-26-004 B.  The fire station operations would not be affected any 
more than other fire stations in or near commercial districts common in most towns and cities.  
     There is a church adjacent to the NE corner of Parcel 503-26-004 B.  The common 
community business most needed listed above, likely developed on that parcel, would not 
adversely affect the church, as most would close on Sunday.            
     Further away, there is a residence to the east of the church,  and the historic hotel currently 
being renovated, on Hwy 60, 500’ to the NW of the parcels.  Those properties would only benefit 
from the amenities offered by any needed commercial business. 
     There are no structures or development adjacent to the parcels on the SW side of Hwy 60.  An 
RV Storage business is going in soon just north of Gates Rd., however.  It would not be 
adversely affected by the examples provided above, but would rather benefit.
      As stated above, re-zoning the four parcels to C-2 would greatly benefit the quiet, residential 
horse property owners along Castle Hot Springs Rd, with the much more “neighborly” types of 
options offered by C-2, and completely non-existent at this time.  Travelers along Hwy 60 may

PG. 5
also benefit from some of the various business allowable under C-2, especially a Gas Station/
Auto Repair, restaurant, and a general store and/or small market.
    There are no recent changes in the community of Morristown that would affect this request in 
a negative way.   On the positive side, there has been the high end restoration and improvement 
of the old Castle Hot Springs Resort nearby, the current renovation of the local historic hotel 
as a multi purpose business, and a new subdivision going in nearby on Hwy 74, just east of 
Morristown.
E.  LOCATION AND ACCESSIBILITY: 
Morristown, AZ along Hwy 60/89 / Castle Hot Springs Rd./Gates Rd. /Rockaway Hills Rd. 
approx. 10 mi. S. of Wickenburg, 43 mi. NW of Phoenix. Approx. 1 mi. from State Hwy 74 
junctions at Castle Hot Springs Rd. and/or Hwy 60.  Those roads offer marked, paved the access 
to three of the parcels, with access to 503-26-004 D is possible via a frontage road from Gates 
Rd. as stated on pages 23 & 24 of the Wickenburg Highway Scenic Corridor Goals Guide.  
F.  CIRCULATION SYSTEM: N/A  No improvements or dedications with this request.
G.  DEVELOPMENT SCHEDULE:  N/A  No development.
H.   COMMUNITY FACILITIES: 
Morristown Elementary School, and USPO across Rockaway Hills Rd. from parcel 503-26-004J
Circle City/Morristown Volunteer Fire Dept. on Castle Hot Springs Rd. Next to the school.
I.   PUBLIC UTILITIES AND SERVICES: (“WILL SERVE” letters have been submitted)

J.  OTHER INFO:  Most recent data available: Morristown population in 2020 was 187 in 
2020, down from 227 in 2010.  C-2 zoning for these parcels would allow more individual needed 
services, and make the area more attractive aesthetically and to prospective residents, also per the 
Wickenburg Highway Scenic Corridor stated goals.  There has been no negative response from 
my notification letters.  Conversely, the owner of the historic hotel, wrote an approval of the 
zoning request. As stated above, the school board has also approved in writing.  We would invite 
community input re: needed businesses to relay to potential developers. 
K.  COMPLIANCE WITH CITY/TOWN GENERAL PLAN: Morristown is an 
unincorporated community, and has no general plan, or administrative offices. I have submitted 
documentation of communication and “no conflict” opinion from the city of Surprise. 
L.  OTHER INFO: (ARCHITECTURAL) N/A  No Development per this request.

Thanks so much for your positive response! 
I wish you luck as well with your exciting ventures. So glad the old hotel is being renovated. There is 
quite a history with it I’m 
sure with the now gone railroad station and people including many celebrities and even JFK who came 
to the hot springs decades ago. I will let you know when I find out when the public hearings are.

Hi 
 
My name is Lisa, I own the 1899 Historic Hotel on 60 and 7 acres 
surrounding it, including a residential parcel on Rockaway Hills next to the 
post office.  I understand your request for rezoning. It seems to make 
sense. My lots are zoned C-2. Hopefully it goes smoothly and it sells to 
complimentary development projects for the area. 
 
I am not doing overnight stays at the hotel. Instead, I am will do RV spots 
for cowboys who come for roping events and BBQ's and cowboy parties 
outside at the hotel. I also own Gold Mines off Castle Hot Springs Road 
and do Luxury Gold MIne Tours and people will meet at the hotel to begin

the tour. We also will do gold panning at the hotel, as well as we do it on 
the Mines as part of our adventures. 
 
I bought the property and Hotel in the summer and am renovating and 
developing now. The hotel was vacant, vandalized and no roof for 20 
years, and no water, no electric, etc. Step by step....hopefully in 30 days - 
60 days it will be complete enough to have people come inside the saloon 
and see the hotel! 
 
Good Luck,

Good Afternoon, 
  
While the subject parcels (503-26-004J, P, D & H) are not within Surprise municipal boundaries, they are 
within the City of Surprise Planning Area. As such, we have reviewed the information provided for 
compliance with the Surprise General Plan 2035. The subject properties are within the Neighborhood 
Character Area, which allows for locally oriented commercial uses. The properties also fall within the 
Transit Oriented Development overlay district. As such, the request to rezone to C-2 commercial is 
generally consistent with the Surprise General Plan 2035. 
  
Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Subject: Morristown parcels 
  
***The e-mail below is from an external source.  Please do not open attachments or 
click links from an unknown or suspicious origin.*** 
Dear Ms. Farago;  I left you a voice mail this morning.  I have had two cancer surgeries in my upper 
mouth/sinus are so my voice is somewhat compromised so I'm emailing you as well. My 3 siblings and I 
inherited some commercial parcels in Morristown on Hwy. 60.  They are zoned C-S and our very 
experienced land realtor (Keith Peterson in Wickenburg) has advised us to re-zone to C-2.  We are in 
process of that and Maricopa County P&Z has advised us to contact you to make sure there is no issue 
with the city of Surprise with its General Plan and extended neighborhood concepts.   
We are all Phoenix natives in our 70's, and need to sell this property asap so as not to pass on to our 
heirs the burden of dealing with its complexities, taxes, etc.  Our assigned planner is Nick Schlimm, 
Nicholas.Schlimm@maricopa.gov.  He has stated the current C-S zoning is "antiquated" and agrees C-2 
opens up better options for a variety of business that could benefit the Morristown community, and is 
more in accordance with the Wickenburg Scenic Corridor goals, rather than a strip mall shopping center 
idea.  However, he and staff want me to contact you for verification as the property falls apparently 
within some jurisdictions of Surprise. We want only to re-zone to a better zoning for "highest and best 
use" and it will help us selling them as well according to our realtor, as C-S is very problematic especially 
with Hwy 60 splitting the parcels, and other factors. We are not developing the parcels.  
See attached parcel map. The parcels are 503-26-004J, P, D & H (H is actually RU-43 and we are including 
it in our request.)  
Please let me know if I may get a letter from you as to your approval of this if there are no issues with 
your General Plan, and any other juristicitions as may be applicable. 
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.  
Respectfully, 
KIm G. Ptak

For:  Hassayampa Highlands LLC     
From:	 Morristown Water Company Board of Directors
	

Subject:  Water service for parcels 503-26-004 D, P and J
The Morristown Water Company Board of Directors confirms that three of your four parcels fall 
in our water district and that we are obliged to provide service.  503-26-004 H does not.  We also 
agree with your assessment that only parcel 503-26-004J on the northeast side of Highway 60 
currently has a water main installed on the property and that a new service is possible per the 
Arizona Corporation Commission Utility Division’s service fee schedule.
Servicing the remaining parcels on the southwest side of Highway 60 requires significant 
coordination with Maricopa and possibly Arizona Departments of Transportation, engineering 
studies, permits and traffic interruption on Gates Road.  At this time, the nearest water main on 
the southwest side of Highway 60 is located on parcel 503-22-001A located on the northwest 
side of Gates Road.  Besides coordination with the above government agencies, there would be a 
considerable cost incurred in extending a main service line to serve these parcels.
Should this service be required by a future owner or developer, detailed planning, legal 
agreements and financial assistance will be required by the MWC Board.  Since Board members 
are selected by the members annually, we recommend initial correspondence be sent to the 
company’s P.O. box.  Once that contact is made, the current Board members can continue 
coordination via email, phone or in person at working and monthly Board meetings.

this project, we cannot, at this time, determine what fees would be required 
from the developer.  We are interested in serving this project with the preferred 
fuel, natural gas, and look forward to hearing from you as plans progress. 
 
Thank you for your inquiry. We look forward to providing safe, reliable and clean 
burning natural gas to you and your project.
