Project Summary: 
 
1. 
The applicant proposes to use the site for a myriad of outdoor storage and related uses.  This 
includes RV, boat, semi-truck and trailer, farm equipment, and other large vehicle storage, 
mechanical repair services, aggregate material storage, and temporary debris storage.  
Repairs will be conducted in an existing shop building on the northwestern portion of the subject 
lot. There will be 110 stalls on site for large vehicle storage.  The narrative states onsite forklifts 
and excavators will be used to move and load the aggregate material.  The applicant is also 
proposing 24/7 on site security.  The applicant is also requesting to waive the requirement for 
Sight Visibility Triangles (SVTs), front, rear, and side setbacks of 5’, and establish a standard of 
12 required parking stalls on site. 
 
2. 
There are two active violation cases on the subject property.  The first, V202102324, was opened 
on December 8, 2021, for multiple businesses operating on property as well as occupied RVs on 
site.  The violation was substantiated by a Code Enforcement Officer on January 27, 2022.  The 
second violation, V202200866, was opened on April 27, 2022, for junk, trash, and debris, parking 
trucks and trailers on site, burning trash, and occupied RVs.  The complaint was substantiated by 
County staff on June 2, 2022. The applicant filed for a pre-application meeting, PA2022033, which 
was held on March 22, 2022, to discuss potential entitlement for the uses on site to resolve 
V202102324.  The applicant filed for a Use Compatibility and Consistency Determination (UCCD) 
from Luke Air Force Base (LAFB), UC2022004 on March 4, 2022. The subject case, MCP2022004, 
was applied for on June 9, 2022, and the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) meeting was held 
on August 2, 2022.  In response to staff concerns over proposed uses that were not included with 
the original UCCD, the applicant filed for a second UCCD, UC2022026, which more accurately 
portrayed the uses proposed in the subject case on December 5, 2022.

Excerpt From Site Plan 
 
 
4. 
The proposed site will be accessed via a private easement that leads to 143rd Ave. to the west.  
The site will contain 110 parking stalls for the storage of large vehicles.  These vehicles are to 
include RVs, boats, construction vehicles, semi-trucks and trailers, farm tractors/combines, and 
similar vehicle types.  In addition to the vehicle parking there will be space for outdoor storage of 
aggregate materials, farm equipment and materials, and construction equipment. Solid site 
screening is proposed around the entire parcel.  The site will have a 24/7 security presence, which 
will be supported by the two security trailers on site. The proposed site plan contains solid 
screening around the whole parcel with a combination of CMU block walls and tin panel fencing.

MCP2022004

The applicant proposes twelve parking stalls, with one compliant to ADA standards, which meets 
minimum parking requirements.  The site will meet minimum paving requirements.

Adopted Plans: 
 
8. 
White Tank / Grand Ave Area Plan – Military Compatible (adopted December 6, 2000): This land 
use designation is reserved for parcels within the state-statute defined High Noise or Accident 
Potential Zone of Luke Air Force Base.  Uses should be restricted to those that have been deemed 
consistent and compatible with the Air Force base. 
 
9. 
City of Glendale– Luke Compatible Land Use (Adopted April 26, 2016): This land use designation 
is reserved for parcels in land surrounding Luke Air Force Base delineated by the 1988 Air 
installation compatible use zone 65 LDN noise contour. Use should comply with requirements 
laid forth in ARS 28-8481. 
 
Public Participation Summary: 
 
10. 
The applicant met the minimum Public Participation requirements by posting the site with two 
signs alerting neighbors of the proposed zoning entitlement and sent mailers to all property 
owners within 300’ of the subject property via USPS.  The applicant indicated that none of the 
efforts generated any response via the summary provided to staff. 
 
Outstanding Concerns from Reviewing Agencies:

N/A

Staff Analysis: 
 
12. 
The site is adjacent to an entitled RV/Boat storage to the south, a landscape nursery to the west, 
and an active farm to the east.  There are some existing residences to the north, however the 
adjacent properties are within the MAAMF and therefore there will be no additional residential 
uses in the immediate area of the subject site.  As such, the site is appropriate for outdoor storage 
uses such as the ones proposed by the applicant.   Staff does have some concerns over the 
intensity of the proposed use as well as potential for the site to operate outside of the bounds of 
what LAFB deemed compatible via UC2022026.  The site is the subject of two active violation 
cases that include uses that would not be compatible with LAFB operations such as RVs being 
used for overnight lodging and burning of trash and debris.  Additionally, the applicant expressed 
a desire for additional uses on site during the TAC meeting that would have included allowing 
long haul truck drivers to rest on site overnight.  While these uses are not included in the 
applicant’s official request, staff has concerns that they may creep onto the site overtime.  As 
such, staff recommends several conditions in regards to the intensity of uses to ensure use of 
the property remains compatible with LAFB operations and also does not become a nuisance to 
the residents to the north of the site.  These include prohibiting overnight stays on the property, 
prohibiting burning of any kind on site, limiting height of stored material to 10’, and requiring sight 
screening of a minimum 8’ to the north. Images provided below demonstrate visual impact the 
use has on the adjacent homes.  The images clearly show large piles of stored aggregate material 
that tower over the area as well as large vehicles and semi tailers parked up to the northern 
property line.

13. 
In addition to the proposed storage and repair uses, the applicant is requesting several site 
specific standards.  The first is a 5’ front, rear, and side yard setback.  Staff has no concern with 
the reduced setback on the east, west, or south lot lines as they are not nor will never be adjacent 
to residential uses.  However, there is concern with the reduced setback to the north, as there are 
four residential properties adjacent to the northern lot line.  Staff feels that requiring an 8’ screen 
wall to the north will help mitigate concerns over the reduced northern setback. This screening is 
only an effort to maintain integrity of the existing residential properties. Staff notes their located 
inside the MAAMF and as such any redevelopment will be for a non-residential use.  
 
14. 
 The applicant is also requesting to waive the 25’ by 25’ sight visibility triangle requirement on 
site.  Staff has no concern over this request as the site is accessed via a private easement that 
terminates at subject property and thus SVTs on site would serve little purpose.  Lastly the 
applicant is requesting to establish a requirement for 12 customer parking stalls on site.  Staff 
feels this is an appropriate amount of parking given the low traffic generation from the proposed 
uses. 
 
15. 
Staff notes the applicant raised objections to the conditions as presented.  The applicant provided 
comment on the conditions, suggesting several either be eliminated all together or altered to a 
degree that would diminish their purpose beyond practicality.  A copy of the applicant’s notes is 
included in the case attachments.  Staff worked closely with LAFB to craft several of the 
conditions and staff’s recommendation of approval hinges entirely on the conditions as 
presented.  Furthermore, some of the suggested changes by the applicant such as allowing on-
site burning, would cause disruptions to LAFB operations.  Simply put, there are strong concerns 
over the intensity of activity onsite.  These concerns are not appropriately by the recent responses 
from the applicant.  As such, staff strongly recommends the conditions as presented remain as-
is.

Recommendation: 
 
16. 
Based on the reasons outlined in this report, staff recommends the Commission adopt a motion 
recommending that the Board of Supervisors approve MCP2022004 subject to the following 
conditions ‘a’ – ‘j’: 
 
a. 
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Site Plan entitled 
“Vehicle Storage Facility“, consisting of 2 full-size sheets, dated November 11, 2022, and 
stamped received February 16, 2023, except as modified by the following conditions. 
 
b. 
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Narrative Report 
entitled “Assessor Parcel Number 501-42-975”, consisting of 4 pages, dated February 16, 
2023 and stamped received February 16, 2023 except as modified by the following 
conditions. 
 
c. 
The following Rural-43 MAAMF MCP standards shall apply: 
  
1. Max. Height: 30’ 
 
2. Min. Rear  Setback: 5’ 
 
3. Sight Visibility Triangle: None Required 
 
d. 
The following Planning Engineering conditions shall apply:  
 
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 if the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance; Drainage Policies and Standards;

MCP2022004 
Page 9 of 9 
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 and Drainage (Site Infrastructure) Plans and Drainage Report 
must be submitted with the application for Building Permits 
 
e. 
No persons shall be permitted to lodge or stay on the property overnight aside from the 
existing residential use and site security. 
 
f. 
Burning of any material, or any use that may produce smoke, excessive dust, or any other 
activity that interferes with Luke AFB operations is prohibited. 
 
g. 
Outdoor storage of materials may not exceed 10’ in height.  
 
h. 
Minimum 8’ solid screening along northern lot line. 
 
i. 
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. 
 
j. 
The granting of this change in use of the property has been at the request of the applicant, 
with the consent of the landowner.  The granting of this approval allows the property to 
enjoy uses in excess of those permitted by the zoning existing on the date of application, 
subject to conditions.  In the event of the failure to comply with any condition, the property 
shall revert to the zoning that existed on the date of application.  It is, therefore, stipulated 
and agreed that either revocation due to the failure to comply with any conditions, does 
not reduce any rights that existed on the date of application to use, divide, sell or possess 
the property and that there would be no diminution in value of the property from the value 
it held on the date of application due to such revocation of the MCP.  The MCP enhances 
the value of the property above its value as of the date the MCP is granted and reverting 
to the prior zoning results in the same value of the property as if the MCP had never been 
granted.

Purpose of Request 
This request is for the issuance of a Military Compatibility Permit to allow 
flexability with the development of uncovered parking of most any type of 
vehicle to  include but  not limited to farm equipment, construction vehicles, 
boats,  RVs, Trucks that are not storing hazardous material and uncovered 
various parts and equipment for construction including but not limited to 
various storage bins or skids with parts for equipment and construction, 
materials of Agregates, sand, millings, dirt, firewood, trash piles for haul 
away, concrete, lumber to roofing products and an equipment or general 
repair shop in the barn.  The purpose of this request will not LIMIT uses of 
the property that are compatible with an MCP/UCCP and Luke AFB and 
shall be as close to IND3 zoning as described herein (while maintaining 
proper retention and storm drainage calculations) with an existing, occupied 
Single Family Home Residence, Barn with a general repair shop, 
employees and dry storage, out buildings to remain on the property to the 
west.  Employees consist of 1-2 repair shop personnel, security personnel 
on the site with a security office trailer on the east side corner of the site 
and west side of the site as customers access the site 24/7.  Aggregates 
and parts, equipment, are hauled after loaded by excavators or forklift, 
when purchased by customers as needed and stored as renters of the site 
area need the facilities.   
 
Description of Proposal  
Ellis Lorimor will develop a location to, repair, park and storage of RVs, 
Trucks, Farm Equipment, material aggregates, parts for construction and 
equipment on a currently zoned RU-43 property of approximately 5 acres 
with 110 Large Parking Stalls. Customers of storage and repair shall attend 
the site with an ADA bathroom available for the disabled customers with 11 
regular parking places for customers and 1 ADA Accessible parking stall at 
5% of the parking (see chart attached).  Any lighting added shall conform to 
code however lighting already exists on the house and barn. 
  
The property shall be developed with uncovered parking, with a perimeter 
sight screening and security fencing, retention area, lockable gate and site 
screened from other properties.  The site screening will be designed and 
approved by the county prior to construction.  On the south side of the 
property an existing 6 ft block wall is in place, on the east bobbed wire 
fencing, on the north and west, new site screening wall details to screen the 
site from neighbors shall be installed with metal panels mounted on poles. 
 
Relationship to Surrounding Properties  
This development will complement the rapid growth of Residential 
development in the surrounding areas; other properties in the immediate

area are mostly vacant or offering parking for Farm Equipment, 
Construction Materials, RVs, Motorhomes, Travel Trailers, Boats, and other 
related vehicles including other sites surrounding the property with 
Nurseries, aggregate storage and parts storage. While the intent of this 
space for the last 30+ years has been used as a firewood business and 
used to store other vehicles such as farm equipment, excavation 
equipment, trucks, material, cars, and a commercial basis etc. the need for 
entitlement now is to rectify the code compliance violations levied against 
the property for use without proper entitlements that have been 
grandfathered in prior to any code compliance regulations existing. 
  
The immediate area of the subject parcel consists of large parcels that 
appear to have been primarly used for agriculture some time ago. Now days 
they look to be dormant, with the exception of the commercial nursery that 
borders the subject parcel to the west, RV storage to the south and a few 
Residential properties to the north on large parcels of land.  This is in the 
vicinity of the Luke Airforce base and homes in this area are not the 
suggested best use of the property compared with commercial or 
agricultural type parking and uses similar to IND3 zoning but in line with 
UCCD allowances.  No new residential is requested with this permit. 
 
Location and Accessibility  
The subject site has access across an easement to the west and connected 
to 143rd Avenue, approximately 950 feet South of Olive Avenue.  
 
Development Schedule  
(6-9 months) – Zoning case, plus conduct civil site improvements including 
grading, drainage, sight wall installation.

Review Comments: 
 
County estimates that the proposed site would generate fewer than 100 peak 
hours trips and have negligible impact on MCDOT roadways surrounding the 
site; therefore, the request for traffic statement waiver has been approved. 
 
 
 
 
The Traffic Statement Waiver is Approved.

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 and Drainage (Site Infrastructure) Plans and Drainage 
Report must be submitted with the application for Building Permits 
 
e. 
No persons shall be permitted to lodge or stay on the property overnight aside 
from the existing residential use and site security. 
 
f. 
Burning of any material, or any use that may produce smoke, excessive dust, or 
any other activity that interferes with Luke AFB operations is prohibited. 
 
g. 
Outdoor storage of materials may not exceed 10’ in height.  
 
h. 
Minimum 8’ solid screening along northern lot line. 
 
i. 
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. 
 
j. 
The granting of this change in use of the property has been at the request of the 
applicant, with the consent of the landowner.  The granting of this approval allows 
the property to enjoy uses in excess of those permitted by the zoning existing on 
the date of application, subject to conditions.  In the event of the failure to comply 
with any condition, the property shall revert to the zoning that existed on the date 
of application.  It is, therefore, stipulated and agreed that either revocation due to 
the failure to comply with any conditions, does not reduce any rights that existed 
on the date of application to use, divide, sell or possess the property and that there 
would be no diminution in value of the property from the value it held on the date 
of application due to such revocation of the MCP.  The MCP enhances the value 
of the property above its value as of the date the MCP is granted and reverting to 
the prior zoning results in the same value of the property as if the MCP had never 
been granted. 
 
 
 
6ft - 6inches per approved engineered plans
30ft per approved engineered plans
Luke Airforce 
Base shall be 
notified of the 
dates that Burning 
of material shall 
take place.  
Reasonable 
accomodations 
shall be made to 
both parties so 
normal business 
operations can 
continue.
This issue has been discussed -Rural Metro fire protection services is at the discretion of the property owner.
Maricopa County has a mechanism, method in place at the time of the 
application to insure compliance to property uses.  However, each 
opinion of any alleged violation must be adjudicated by Due Process of 
Law ... A County opinion of violation alleged upon any of the 
agreements, policies or property condition shall not be considered as a 
valid reason for removal of the MCP designation.  There is no agreement 
to allow the county, without due process of law, to remove the MCP 
without the landowners consent.
With the exception of the exiting Residential Use and approved site security, 
no person shall habitat lodging overnight, however, allowable normal business 
operations can continue 24hr./7days a week.

RE: MCP2022004 - draft conditions
Phillip, 
 
As a quick recap of our previous conversation I advised that staff is not amenable to the requested revisions you 
provided to the draft conditions.  Staff has worked in coordination with Luke Air Force Base, as well as taken the 
violation cases on the property into consideration when drafting the conditions.  It is your right to request the Planning 
and Zoning Commission to revise one or more than one of the conditions as proposed by staff.  As noted during our 
phone conversation it may be an uphill battle to gain approval without the conditions as drafted by staff.   
 
If you have any specific questions for council please email them to me and I will be happy to forward them to the 
attorney that works with our department. 
 
Kind Regards,

It may be productive to have your county attorney person that drafted the MCP Draft Conditions to give me a 
call if the language in the corrected draft is not misunderstood.  What person at the county drafted this letter 
regarding this MCP?

Phillip, 
  
Please let me know today.  We would not be amenable to removing any conditions outright (you may request the 
Planning Commission to do so), however, I may be able to make minor tweaks if you think there is a way to make any 
of the conditions acceptable to you and the property owner.

and will be required to be modified or eliminated.
