TA2023003 Page 1 of 2 Report to the Planning and Zoning Commission Prepared by the Maricopa County Planning and Development Department Case: TA2023003 – Rural Lot Coverage Hearing Date: October 5, 2023 Supervisor Districts: All Applicant: Staff-initiated Request: Amend Chapter 5, Section 501 Rural-190 Zoning District, Article 501.5.4 Maximum Lot Coverage, and Section 502 Rural-70 Zoning District, Article 502.5.4 Maximum Lot Coverage of the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance - to increase the respective Maximum Lot Coverage permitted in each zoning district Support/Opposition: None known Recommendation: Initiate and recommend Approval to the Board Proposed Amendment: Proposed verbatim language is noted below in legislative-edit format. SECTION 501. RURAL-190 (Rural Zoning District - 190,000 Square Feet Per Dwelling Unit) ARTICLE 501.5. INTENSITY OF USE REGULATIONS: The intensity of use regulations are as follows: 4. Lot Coverage: The maximum lot coverage shall be 510% of the lot area. SECTION 502. RURAL–70 (Rural Zoning District - 70,000 Square Feet Per Dwelling Unit) ARTICLE 502.5. INTENSITY OF USE REGULATIONS: The intensity of use regulations are as follows: 4. Lot Coverage: The maximum lot coverage shall be 1015% of the lot area. Public Participation: 1. TA2023003 is processed via the county’s Enhanced Regulatory Outreach Program (EROP). The County Manager determined the proposed text amendment is not an increased regulatory burden. TA2023003 Page 2 of 2 A public stakeholder meeting was held on August 11, 2023. One individual attended who had no concern with the proposal. The case was discussed at the August 31, 2023 ZIPPOR meeting. There was not a quorum for the case to be initiated. To date there is no known opposition and no concerns with the proposed language. Staff Analysis: 2. TA2023003 will amend Articles 501.5.4 and 502.5.4 of the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance to respectively increase the Maximum Lot Coverage (aggregate area under roof) of the Rural-190 zoning district from 5% to 10% and of the Rural-70 zoning district from 10% to 15%. All other rural and residential zoning districts previously benefitted from regulatory reform increasing their maximum permitted lot coverage. 3. Previous regulatory reform increased the maximum lot coverage of each of the other rural and single-family residential zoning districts by 10%. (For example, the maximum lot coverage in the Rural-43 zoning district was increased from 15% to 25%.) A lesser increase is proposed for the Rural-190 and Rural-70 zoning districts because they tend to be more remote locations without emergency fire protection. Staff believes this minimal increase is a lessening of regulatory burden, is appropriate and represents the least amount of regulation necessary to maintain the public health, safety and welfare. 4. Assuming positive Commission action, TA2023003 is scheduled to move foreward to the Board of Supervisors for their adoption November 1, 2023 and an effective date of December 1, 2023. Recommendation: 5. Staff recommends the Commission adopt a motion to initiate TA2023003 and recommending its Approval to the Board. Presented by: Darren V.
