TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE REVIEW

The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) is

composed of representatives of the County’s

Planning, Transportation, Drainage Review, Flood

Control and Environmental Services departments.

Other comments may be supplied by representatives

from other County departments, fire district, school

district, City or Town, homeowner’s association, or

other interested parties.

After a complete application is submitted and

accepted by the Planning Department, staff will

forward copies of the application to members of the

TAC. Staff will then schedule the request for review by

the TAC and notify the owner or owner’s authorized

agent of the date and time.

Staff will provide the owner or owner’s authorized

agent with written comments from any reviewing

agency unable to attend the meeting.

POST-TAC REVIEW

Depending on the comments received at the TAC,

the application materials (such as the Site Plan or

Narrative) may need revisions. The owner or owner’s

authorized agent must submit revised materials,

reflecting the TAC comments, to the Planning and

Development Department, which will forward the

revised materials to the appropriate agencies. Once

they are satisfied that the technical requirements

have been met (more than one re-submittal may be

necessary) and the Public Participation Plan has

been satisfactorily completed (see Public Review

Process), the request will be scheduled for public

hearing by the Planning and Zoning Commission.

Staff will also conduct the 300’ mailing, legal ad as

well as prepare a staff report. The owner or owner’s

authorized agent will be required to post the site.

Please note that compliance with comments from

the TAC does not guarantee that the application will

be supported or recommended for approval by staff.

Staff will provide written and verbal

recommendations to the Planning and Zoning

Commission.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION

The Planning and Zoning Commission will hold a

public hearing for all interested persons wishing to

comment on the Military Compatibility Permit. The

owner or owner’s authorized agent must attend this

meeting, and will be asked to comment on the

application, the staff report and/or any comments

that are made during the public hearing. The

Planning and Zoning Commission will make a

recommendation to the Board of Supervisors for

approval or denial of the request. Their

recommendation may or may not concur with

staff’s recommendation.

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

The Military Compatibility Permit request will again

be legally advertised prior to a public hearing

before the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors.

The Board of Supervisors will ultimately vote to

approve or deny the request. Their action may or

may not concur with the recommendation made

by staff or the Planning and Zoning Commission.

POST-BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ACTIVITY

Once approved by the Board of Supervisors, the

Military Compatibility Permit becomes effective 31

days after Board action and when any required

conditions are met. A separate application and

approval for a Plan of Development will be

required prior to any physical development if the

Plan of Development was not submitted and

approved concurrent with the Military Compatibility

Permit. The owner or owner’s authorized agent may

then apply for a Zoning Clearance and Building

Permit as long as the property is in compliance with

the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance.

Public Review Process Guidelines Internet: www.maricopa.gov/planning 10/30/19

Purpose

Pursuant to State Law, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors adopted a Public Review Process

for Zone Changes, Special Use Permits, and Military Compatibility Permits (Section 305 of the

Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance). There are three (3) basic purposes for a Public Review

Process:

• Notifying the public of the rezoning application and not just the public hearing.

• Informing the public of the substance of the application.

• Providing the public an opportunity to express issues or concerns prior to any public hearing

regarding the application.

Public participation is an important component of successful planning. The public need and deserve

ongoing communication regarding projects and issues that affect their communities. Through the

Public Review Process, Maricopa County demonstrates its commitment to ensuring that the owner or

authorized agent pursue early and meaningful input in applications for Zone Changes, Special Use

Permits, and Military Compatibility Permits. Such participation will help the owner or authorized agent

resolve concerns early in the process, and promote goodwill between the owner or authorized agent,

County officials, citizens, property owners, and other stakeholders. While the Public Review Process

may not produce complete consensus regarding specific applications, it will encourage the owner or

authorized agent to make sound investment and planning decisions by listening to and, where

feasible, addressing the concerns of their neighbors.

Process

The Public Review Process has five (5) requirements that are discussed below:

1. Requirement for a Pre-Application Meeting

2. Requirement to develop a Public Participation Plan

3. Requirement to notice adjacent property owners upon application

4. Requirement to post properties upon application

5. Requirement to complete a Public Participation Results Report

1. Requirement for a Pre-application Meeting / Pre-application Meeting Form

Prior to submitting a formal application, the owner or authorized agent is required to participate in a

pre-application meeting with Planning and Development Department staff. Pre-application meetings

allow the owner or authorized agent to become familiar with the planning process, and also enable

the owner or authorized agent to obtain guidance with the requirements of the Public Review Process.

At the pre-application meeting, the Public Participation Plan will be discussed between staff and the

owner or authorized agent

At the pre-application meeting, staff will provide the owner or authorized agent with a copy of the

pre-application meeting form. This form is used to verify that the pre-application meeting has

occurred. Please do not discard or misplace this form – it is a required submittal with your application.

2. Requirement to develop a Public Participation Plan

The Public Participation Plan discusses the extent and procedure the owner or authorized agent will

take to complete the Public Review Process. Staff and the owner or authorized agent will discuss the

extent of the Public Participation Plan at the pre-application meeting. At a minimum, the following

information should be submitted as a part of the Public Participation Plan, using the headings and

format shown below:

Title Page

• Include the project name, general location and vicinity map

Parties Affected by Application

• Discuss which residents; property owners, interested parties, political jurisdictions and public

agencies may be affected by the application.

Notification and Information Procedures

• Discuss how those interested in and potentially affected by an application will be notified that

an application has been made.

• Discuss how those interested and potentially affected parties will be informed of the

substance of the change, amendment, or development proposed by the application.

Response Procedures

• Describe how those affected or otherwise interested will be provided an opportunity to

discuss the proposal with the owner or authorized agent and express any concerns, issues or

problems they may have with the proposal in advance of the public hearing.

Schedule for Completion

• Describe the schedule for completion of the Public Participation Plan.

Status Procedure

• Describe how the owner or authorized agent will keep the Planning and Zoning Division

informed on the status of their public participation efforts.

The level of public interest and area involvement will vary depending on the nature of the application

and the location of the site. The target area for early notification will be determined through a

coordinated effort of the owner or authorized agent and staff. The Planning Director shall resolve any

disputes that may arise while arriving at the target area. At a minimum, the target area of the Public

Participation Plan shall include the following:

a) real property owners within 300’ of the proposed Military Compatibility Permit, Zone Change or

Special Use Permit request;

b) the head of any homeowners association within 300’ of the proposed Military Compatibility

Permit, Zone Change or Special Use Permit request;

c) other potentially affected citizens in the target area who have requested that they be placed

on the routing list maintained by the Planning Department.

The owner or authorized agent may submit the Public Participation Plan for review as early as the pre-

application meeting, but must submit it with the formal application.
