Project Summary: 
 
1. 
The applicant is seeking to establish a CUPD overlay in order to reduce the required 
parking for a self-storage facility.  The subject parcel is currently zoned C-2, which allows 
for self-storage facilities, however under base zoning standards the proposed facility 
would require 117 parking stalls which is much more than what is necessary for a self-
storage facility.  The requested overlay will bring the required parking down to 25 parking 
stalls.  The applicant is currently working on a Plan of Development (POD) for the 
proposed self-storage facility under separate case Z2022190.  The proposed building is 
three stories and 102,330 sq. ft. 
 
2. 
A pre-application meeting to discuss the proposed zoning overlay occurred June 14, 
2022 with formal submittal of this request on October 18, 2022.  The applicant 
simultaneously submitted an application for an associated POD (Z2022190) as a separate 
case for the self-storage facility.   A Technical Advisory Committee meeting was held on 
December 6, 2022.

Adopted Plans: 
 
6. 
White Tank / Grand Avenue Area Plan (adopted December 6, 2000): Residential uses of 
densities at 2 -5 d. u. per acre are appropriate as long as urban services such as water, 
sewer, parks, schools, and emergency services are available. 
 
7. 
City of Litchfield Park General Plan 2022(adopted August 2, 2022): Commercial 
development should follow goals and objectives of the General Plan such as providing 
necessary services to adjacent residents and complement existing development. 
 
Public Participation Summary: 
 
8. 
The applicant met and exceeded all minimum notification requirements.  The site was 
posted with two signs and updated to reflect hearing dates once dates were formalized.  
Additionally, the applicant sent notification to all property owners within 400’ of the 
subject property, exceeding the required 300’ radius for notification.  The applicant 
reported one response as a result of the public notice and provided a copy to staff.  The 
respondent seems to be opposed to additional self-storage facilities in the area but did 
not address the reduction in parking which is the crux of the proposed zoning overlay. 
 
Outstanding Concerns from Reviewing Agencies: 
 
9. 
N/A. 
 
Staff Analysis: 
 
10. 
The subject site is currently zoned C-2 which allows for the proposed self-storage use, for 
which the applicant has separately applied for a Plan of Development under case 
Z2022190.  The sole purpose of the proposed CUPD overlay is to reduce the required 
parking as self-storage is an allowed use under the existing C-2 zoning.  The three-story 
self-storage facility proposed under Z2022190 would require 117 parking stalls per the 
base zoning standards.  This is based on staff applying MCZO, Art. 1102.1.6 which is one 
space per 900 sq. ft. of floor area for a “warehouse” use. This is the least restrictive 
application of the ordinance’s parking regulations. It is staff’s experience that the 
required parking thus calculated is always perceived as excessive for developers of self-
storage facilities particular when the facility is multi-story with interior entry units.  Arguably, 
the required 117 spaces  far exceeds the parking needed for a self-storage facility since 
such facilities typically do not have more than a handful of customers on site at any given 
time.  Staff considers the requested parking standard of one stall per 5,000 sq. ft. of self 
storage space is appropriate for the proposed use.  Parking may become problematic if 
future redevelopment of the building is for a different, more intense use. 
 
11. 
The proposal meshes with the City of Litchfield Park General Plan 2022 which calls for 
commercial developments to provide services to adjacent residents as well complement 
existing development.  The site at a collector/arterial intersection is appropriate for 
commercial use. It is served by public water and sewer. The site is currently zoned C-2 
commercial. The CUPD will only provide flexibility with required parking for a self-storage

Z2022189 
Page 6 of 7 
facility. Re/development for any other use will be required to meet the parking 
requirements outlined in the ordinance.  
 
Recommendation: 
 
12. 
Staff recommends the Commission adopt a motion recommending that the Board of 
Supervisors approve Z2022189 subject to the following conditions ‘a’ – ‘f’: 
 
a. 
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Zoning Exhibit 
entitled “SAFstor Self Storage“, consisting of 1 full-size sheet, dated February 27, 
2023, and stamped received February 27, 2023, except as modified by the 
following conditions. Staff may determine slight refinements to remain in 
substantial conformance with the approved site plan.   
 
b. 
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Narrative 
Report entitled “SAFstor Self-Storage”, consisting of 6 pages, dated January 3, 
2023, and stamped received January 26, 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 inferred by this review, including, but not limited to number of 
proposed building lots/units, drainage design, access and roadway 
alignments. These items will be addressed as development plans progress 
and are submitted to the County for further review and/or entitlement. 
 
2. 
A traffic impact study must be submitted with future entitlement (POD) 
application(s). 
 
3. 
Engineering review of re-zone case is conceptual in nature. 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. 
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. 
 
e. 
The following C-2 CUPD standard shall apply:  
 
1. 
Parking: 1 parking stall per 5,000 Sq. Ft. of Self-Storage space

Z2022189 
Page 7 of 7 
 
f. 
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 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.

Project Name: SAFStor Self-Storage 
General Location: NEC of Camelback Road and Wigwam Creek Boulevard 
Case No: Z2022189 
Date Submitted: January 3, 2023

B. Purpose of Request
This firm represents SAFStor Real Estate Co., LLC (“SAFStor”), one of the most active 
privately held developers of high-quality, professionally managed self-storage facilities in the 
United States. On behalf of SAFStor, we are pleased to submit this rezoning application 
(“Application”) to accommodate the development of a self-storage facility (the “Proposed 
Facility”) on approximately 2.4 acres located at the northeast corner of Camelback Road and 
Wigwam Creek Boulevard in Maricopa County (the “Property”). The Property is known as 
Maricopa County Assessor’s Office Parcel Number 510-08-553B. See below Aerial Map.  
Aerial Map 
The Property, which is currently vacant, is zoned Intermediate Commercial (“C-2”). A 
self-storage facility is permitted by right under the Property’s existing C-2 zoning. However, 
CAMELBACK ROAD 
N

Maricopa County’s Zoning Ordinance (“Zoning Ordinance”) has only one parking ratio for all 
“warehouse” uses — which requires 1 parking space per 900 square feet of gross floor area.  
There is no specific parking ratio for self-storage facilities. As such, under the Zoning 
Ordinance, the Proposed Facility is required to be parked in accordance with the parking ratio for 
“warehouse” uses, which requires a total of 117 parking spaces for the Proposed Facility.  
The required parking amount of 117 spaces greatly exceeds the actual parking demand 
for a self-storage facility. As shown by the Trip Generation and Parking Statement provided with 
this Application, the amount of parking spaces needed to accommodate the actual peak parking 
demand for the Proposed Facility is 10 spaces. Further, providing 117 parking spaces on the 
Property would “take up” site area, which instead could be better improved with other site 
improvements — such as landscaping and maneuvering areas to provide a more functional and 
attractive development. SAFStor is therefore proposing to establish a parking requirement unique 
to a self-storage use, resulting in a total of 25 parking spaces for the Proposed Facility, which is 
still more than double the number of spaces that are needed to accommodate the peak parking 
demand for the Proposed Facility.  
Specifically, to accommodate the development of the Proposed Facility (including the 
proposed number of parking spaces), this Application requests to change the existing zoning 
designation of the Property from C-2 to C-2 with a Commercial Unit Plan of Development 
(“CUPD”). The purpose of the CUPD is simply to establish a unique parking ratio for the 
Proposed Facility as shown below.  
Standards Comparison Table

Warehouse: 1 space per 900 square feet

Office: 1 space per 250 square feet of

Proposed 
Self-storage: 1 space per 5,000 
square feet of floor area.  
Office: 1 space per 250 square feet of 
floor area (no change). 
The Proposed Facility contains a gross floor area of 102,330 square feet — consisting of 
a small 903 square-foot lobby/leasing office and 101,427 square feet of self-storage. The Zoning 
Ordinance requires the self-storage component of the Proposed Facility (consisting of 101,427 
square feet) to be parked as a “warehouse” and the lobby/leasing office area (consisting of 903 
square feet) to be parked as an “office”. The CUPD simply proposes a new parking ratio 
specifically for a self-storage use, thereby modifying the required parking for the self-storage 
component of the Proposed Facility from 1 space per 900 square feet of warehouse floor area to 
1 space per 5,000 square feet of self-storage floor area, which results in a total parking 
requirement of 25 spaces (21 spaces for the self-storage component and 4 spaces for the

lobby/leasing office). The CUPD does not modify the Zoning Ordinance’s base ‘office’ parking 
ratio applicable to the Proposed Facility’s leasing office.  
 
 
It is important to recognize that, if approved, this Application simply allows the Proposed 
Facility to provide 25 parking spaces, rather than 117 parking spaces. It does not otherwise 
modify the zoning of the Property or any other development standards applicable to the Proposed 
Facility.  
 
 
C. Description of Proposal 
 
The Proposed Facility is a three-story, approximately 102,330 gross square-foot indoor 
climate-controlled self-storage facility, along with a small lobby/leasing office area and other site 
improvements, such as landscaping and parking.  
 
The Proposed Facility includes 800 storage units of varying sizes, all of which may only 
be accessed from the interior of the building. No roll-up or drive-up storage units are proposed. 
Two access points to the Property are proposed along Wigwam Creek Boulevard as shown on 
the site plan included with this Application (there is a drainage ditch along the Camelback Road 
frontage, which restricts access from Camelback Road). Office hours will be 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 
p.m. (Monday-Friday), 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Saturday) and 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. (Sunday). 
Customers will be allowed to access their units from 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. (daily) 
 
As shown by the building renderings included with this Application, SAFStor has given 
the building facades significant attention through the use of complementary colors and high-
quality materials. Additionally, there is articulation in the plane of the façades that creates visual 
interest and positively contributes to the aesthetics of the surrounding area. Finally, the proposed 
building design features windows to bring in natural light during the day and low-level lighting 
to provide adequate safety while also reducing glare at night. Landscaping improvements will be 
provided adjacent to the building, along the interior east property line, and adjacent to Wigwam 
Creek Boulevard and Camelback Road.

The Property is located on Camelback Road (a major thorough-fare) approximately 880 
feet from El Mirage Road. The properties at the northwest and southwest corners of the 
intersection of El Mirage Road and Camelback Road (which includes this Property) are all zoned

for either commercial or industrial land uses. The Proposed Facility is consistent with the land 
uses (existing and planned) at the intersection of Camelback Road and El Mirage Road and will 
provide an appropriate land use transition to the surrounding residential neighborhoods.  
 
Further, the Proposed Facility will offer a convenient storage option for the surrounding 
residences — many of which are located on small to medium-sized lots where storage space is 
limited. The surrounding Wigwam Creek subdivisions are composed of single-story and two-
story residential homes with typical lot sizes between 4,000 and 7,000 square feet.  These 
contemporary subdivisions trend towards maxing out development standards to optimize livable 
space with limited area provided for storage. Additionally, deed restrictions or other regulations 
restrict the outdoor storage of personal property in front or rear yards. The development located 
immediately east of the Property is also a single-family for rent project with small units ranging 
between 668 and 1,022 square feet. The Proposed Facility will offer these surrounding 
residences an additional storage option within close proximity.  
 
E. Location and Accessibility 
 
The Property is located west of the northwest corner of Camelback and El Mirage Roads, 
approximately three miles west of the Loop 101 Freeway. The Property has two street frontages: 
Wigwam Creek Boulevard to the west and Camelback Road to the south.  An existing drainage 
ditch restricts access to the Property from Camelback Road. That said, as shown by the Site Plan 
provided with this Application, two points of access will be provided from Wigwam Creek 
Boulevard. The main access point is located at the northern end of the Property and connects to 
an existing drive on the Property (Read Avenue), which is shared by the animal hospital to the 
north (used for primary access) and the single-family for rent development to the east (used for 
egress-only and emergency access).  
 
F. Circulation System  
 
Access to the Property is provided from Wigwam Creek Boulevard via two access points. 
Once entering the Property, circulation is provided by a single drive aisle that encircles the 
building and provides access to the office/lobby, loading areas and parking.  
 
G. Development Scheduling  
 
The development of the Property will occur in a single phase. 
 
H. Community Facilities and Services  
 
The proposed development will have no impact on the surrounding school district (Litchfield 
Elementary or Agua Fria Union #26 School Districts), parks or other community amenities.

Good morning, 
 
 
 
We have received the above request for a zone change with overlay from C-2 to C-2 CUPD on APN 510-08-553B, 
approximately 2 ½ acres located at the NEC of Camelback Rd. and Wigwam Creek Blvd. 
 
 
 
The requested overlay is to reduce the required parking for a self storage facility. 
 
 
 
Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.
