PHOENIX — In addition to making a major decision about a water problem at Wednesday’s regular meeting, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors approved a few development items.
By approving its planning and zoning consent agenda, the board approved a final plat for 51 homes at 56th Street and Lone Mountain Road, a military compatibility permit for a concrete firm and a permit amendment for expansion of a Tonopah water treatment plant.
The Reserves at Lone Mountain initially was called 56th & Lone Mountain. It’s an eight-tract, R1-18 RUPD-zoned development with 51 residential lots.
The plat is about a quarter-mile southeast of the southeast corner of East Lone Mountain Road and 56th Street. The unincorporated land is near a Phoenix area that’s between Cave Creek and Scottsdale roads, north of Loop 101.
There were no objections to the final plat request raised by any applicable agencies.
Wastewater services to this subdivision includes an approved agreement between the cities of Scottsdale and Phoenix for off-site improvements for sewer and treatment service.
Arrow Concrete was granted a military compatibility permit with a plan of development. The business wants a contractor’s yard for storage of construction material, equipment and on-site storage and delivery of granular materials in the Rural-43 zoning district.
The 2.1-acre property is near the northeast corner of Sarival Avenue and Ocotillo Road. It’s on a county island within the city of Glendale.
The Glendale Municipal Plan designates the property as “Luke compatible,” as it’s near Luke Air Force Base.
At its Aug. 4 meeting, the Maricopa County Planning and Zoning Commission voted 9-0 to recommend approval of the permit request.
Buckeye Ranch is a water treatment facility on about 2.1 acres near the southwest corner of Buckeye Road and 355th Avenue in the Tonopah area. It’s about 8 miles northeast of the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station. It’s operated by Global Water-Greater Tonopah Water Co.
A request for a special-use permit major amendment was granted. This will allow the plant to be expanded in a Rural-43 zoning district. That request also had a 9-0 approval recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission.
The 23-page amendment has a long list of conditions, including a retention basin with a maximum side slope of 4:1. Driveway access to Papago Street must be paved and will require a permit from the Maricopa County Department of Transportation.
