SUBJECT: 
 MCP2022004 - Lorimor    
 
 Agenda Item: 8 
 
 
 
Since publication of the staff report for MCP2022004, staff has coordinated with the applicant 
and now recommends the Commission adopt a motion recommending that the Board approve 
MCP2022004 subject to the modified conditions “a” - “g” shown below in final format: 
 
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. 
In accordance with the UCCD, and as required by Superior Court Order, State 
Statute, and the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance the following MCP uses will 
be allowed to occur on the property: 
 
1. Uncovered parking and repair services for vehicles such as farming and 
construction equipment, recreational vehicles, and boats. 
 
2. Storage of aggregate materials such as sand, millings, dirt, firewood, trash 
piles for haul away, concrete, lumber, and roofing products. 
 
d. 
The following Rural-43 MAAMF MCP standards shall apply: 
  
1. Max. Height: 30’ 
 
2. Min. Rear Setback: 5’ 
 
3. Sight Visibility Triangle: None Required 
 
e. 
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; 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. 
 
f. 
Outdoor storage (including parking of heavy vehicles) above the height of 
screening shall be set back an additional 1’ from all setback lines for every 1’ of 
additional height above screening. 
 
g. 
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.  Failure to comply with conditions 
after a reasonable opportunity to bring the property into compliance may result in 
the initiation of revocation at a public hearing. It is, therefore, stipulated and agreed 
that 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.
