Project Summary: 
 
1. 
Michael Campbell, Campbell A&Z, LLC., on behalf of Union Pacific Corporation (property 
owner), is requesting a 25-year time extension to a previously approved special use 
permit (SUP) for a wireless communications facility (Z85-49) located west of Miller Rd. and 
south of Baseline Rd in the Buckeye Area. The facility was first approved by the BOS in 
1985 and has been subsequently extended two additional times, the first on February 2, 
1998 (Z85-49A) for 10 additional years and December 17, 2008 (Z2007156) for an 
additional 15 years.  
 
2. 
The approx. 1,200 sq. ft. SUP area contains one (1) 290’ lattice tower containing four (4) 
cellular antenna arrays, four (4) microwave dishes, two (2) miscellaneous antennas at 
196’ and 236’, and a set of whip antennas at the top of the tower, in addition to 
associated ground equipment, related shelters, and a retention basin. (Note the main 
tower is actually 280’ in height, but a lightning rod and whip antennas drive the height to 
290’.) 
 
 
 
Background 
3. 
October 7, 1985:  The Board of Supervisors (BOS) approved Z85-49, the original Special 
Use Permit, subject to stipulations. 
 
4. 
March 4, 1988:  Staff approved Z85-49a, a request for a Minor Amendment to relocate 
ground equipment due to the discovery of an underground fiber optics cable that 
bisected the site. 
 
5. 
February 2, 1998:  The BOS approved Z85-49A, a request for a Major Amendment to 
extend the expiration date for a period of 10 additional years, subject to stipulations. 
 
6. 
June 6, 2000: Staff approved Z2000023, a request for a Minor Amendment pertaining to 
Nextel. 
 
7. 
August 31, 2005:  Staff approved Z2005023, a request for a Minor Amendment pertaining 
to T-Mobile. 
 
8. 
January 19, 2007:  Staff approved Z2006133, a request for a Minor Amendment pertaining 
to Verizon. 
 
9. 
December 13, 2007:  Dennis Chambers, on behalf of Southwest Wireless, submitted an 
application for a Temporary Use Permit under TU2007068 to allow a Cell on Wheels 
(COW). 
 
10. 
December 20, 2007:  Staff initiated Violation case V200702384 due to a COW being 
erected on the site without the proper entitlements or permits.  This COW belonged to 
Cricket and was later legitimized by subsequent TUP and building permit activity. 
 
11. 
December 28, 2007:  Crown Castle submitted a request for a Time Extension / Major 
Amendment to the SUP under Z2007156, the subject case.

Z2022174 
Page 3 of 7 
12. 
January 4, 2008:  Staff approved TU2008001, a Temporary Use Permit to allow Cricket’s 
COW on the subject site. 
 
13. 
February 2, 2008:  The underlying SUP expired per stipulation ‘d’ of Z89-49A. 
 
14. 
August 11, 2008:  Staff approved Z2007109, a request for a Minor Amendment pertaining 
to Cricket Communications.  
 
15.

applied for and approved allowing various cell site refurbishments and upgrades to site 
facilities and pole antennas. No other valid violations have occurred since the last 
granted time extension.

Adopted Plans: 
 
19. 
State Route 85 Area Plan (Adopted 8/27/13): The State Route 85 Area Plan designates the 
site as Industrial.  Although the Area Plan is silent on cell towers, staff considers the use to 
be consistent with the Industrial land use category. 
 
20. 
Town of Buckeye General Plan:  Buckeye’s General Plan, updated in 2008, designates 
the site as part of the Downtown Expansion Area, with an underlying land use designation 
of Historic Downtown Activity Center. 
 
Public Participation Summary: 
 
21. 
The applicant complied with the Maricopa County Citizen Review Process with the 
required posting of the site and notification within 300’ of the subject parcels and to 
interested parties. To date, staff has not received any support or opposition. 
22. 
The city of Buckeye has been notified of this application and had provided no comments. 
 
 
Outstanding Concerns from Reviewing Agencies: 
 
23. 
N/A. 
 
Staff Analysis: 
 
24. 
Much has changed in this area since the original approval of the tower in 1985. At that 
time the area was very rural with agricultural and industrial operations surrounding the 
railroad track areas. Since then, the area has slowly transitioned to a more suburban zone 
with single-family and multifamily residential nearby to the north and slowly moving in 
from the south. The City of Buckeye has changed the General Plan designation of the 
area since the last renewal from Business Park to Historic Downtown Activity Center. The 
City of Buckeye intends to use the area as a new governmental operations center to 
which they have already begun collecting area properties for a future municipal use.   
 
24. 
The project has failed to complete the required status updates per stipulation ‘M’ at year 
5 and 15. Though with the diligence and frequency of updating and modernizing the site 
through applying for building permits, the applicant and users have demonstrated 
continued site diligence and maintenance and have shown to be good stewards to the 
SUP and its intended purposes.

Z2022174 
Page 6 of 7 
 
25. 
The existing tower has been in constant use for over 37 years offering cellular and radio 
communications. While the height may seem out of place with similar facilities, the tower 
still offers vital communications for the area. The City of Buckeye has provided no 
comment for this extension proposal.

Supervisors approve Z2022174 subject to the following conditions ‘a’ – ‘o’:
