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
authorized agent of the date and time.
Staff will provide the owner or 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 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 Citizen Participation Plan has been
satisfactorily completed (see Citizen 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 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 Special Use Permit Major Amendment. The owner or
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 Special Use Permit Major Amendment 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 SUPERVISOR ACTIVITY
Once approved by the Board of Supervisors, the Special
Use Permit Major Amendment becomes effective 31 days
after Board action and when any required conditions are
met. The owner or 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.
AMENDMENTS
Any change or modification to an approval shall be
considered an amendment. Staff shall determine
whether changes constitute a Minor or Major
Amendment according to MCZO Article 304.9. A Minor
Amendment is an administrative process.

Citizen Review Process Guidelines Internet: www.maricopa.gov/planning 10/31/19
Purpose
Pursuant to State Law, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors adopted a Citizen Review Process
for Special Use Permits (Section 305 of the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance). There are three (3)
basic purposes for a Citizen Review Process:
• Notifying citizens of the rezoning application and not just the public hearing.
• Informing citizens of the substance of the application.
• Providing citizens an opportunity to express issues or concerns prior to any public hearing
regarding the application.
Public participation is an important component of successful planning. Citizens need and deserve
ongoing communication regarding projects and issues that affect their communities. Through the
Citizen Review Process, Maricopa County demonstrates its commitment to ensuring that owner or
authorized agent pursues early and meaningful citizen input in applications for Special Use Permits.
Such participation will help an 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 Citizen Review Process may not produce complete consensus
regarding specific applications, it will encourage 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 Citizen Review Process has five (5) requirements that are discussed below:
1. Requirement for a Pre-Application Meeting
2. Requirement to develop a Citizen Participation Plan
3. Requirement to notice adjacent property owners upon application
4. Requirement to post properties upon application
5. Requirement to complete a Citizen 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 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 Citizen Review Process. At
the pre-application meeting, the Citizen 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 Citizen Participation Plan
The Citizen Participation Plan discusses the extent and procedure the owner or authorized agent will
take to complete the Citizen Review Process. Staff and the owner or authorized agent will discuss the
extent of the Citizen Participation Plan at the pre-application meeting. At a minimum, the following
information should be submitted as a part of the Citizen 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 owner or authorized agent’s 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 Citizen Participation Plan.
Status Procedure
• Describe how the owner or authorized agent will keep the Planning and Zoning Division
informed on the status of their citizen participation efforts.
The level of citizen 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 Citizen
Participation Plan shall include the following:
a) real property owners within 300’ of the proposed Special Use Permit request;
b) the head of any homeowners association within 300’ of the proposed 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.
Owner or authorized agent may submit the Citizen Participation Plan for review as early as the pre-
application meeting, but must submit it with the formal application.

of application and the Public Hearing affidavit would be submitted
prior to scheduling the case for a P&Z hearing.
3. The signs must be maintained and updated with amended
information until after the Board of Supervisor’s hearing.

must be filed with the Maricopa County Planning and Zoning Division
by the applicable date indicated on the Filing Deadlines and Hearing
Dates table. Failure to provide such documentation in a timely
manner will result in the case not being scheduled for a Planning and
Zoning Commission (P & Z) hearing.

Drainage Review Requirements 703 Internet: www.maricopa.gov/planning 10/29/2012
A detailed drainage report with respect to hydrology and hydraulics in conjunction with grading, drainage and
paving plans may need to be submitted. The final drainage plan needs to be signed and sealed by an Arizona

1. Offsite Hydrology – Need to determine the quantity, the entrance and exit points, and how the flow is to be
routed through the site.
2. Onsite Hydrology – Need to show how the flows are to be routed to retention basins.
3. Onsite Retention – Need to retain water for the 100-year, 2-hour storm for the site, including adjacent right of way.
Determine volume needed and the size and location of basins.
4. Retention Disposal – Provide testing results in conformance with Standard 6.10 for disposal of total ponding volume
within 36 hours.
5. Onsite Hydraulic Calculations – Need to show hydraulic analysis for any channels, culverts, storm drains, or street
drainage.
6. Cross Sections – Need to show perpendicular cross-sections through the site indicating property lines, swales,
retention areas, finished floors, and street details.
7. Finished Floor Elevations – Need to show finished floor elevation and certification note.
8. Topography – Need to show natural and proposed contour elevations or spot elevations.
9. Dry Wells – If applicable, need to submit a copy of the dry well registration before final drainage clearance of a
permit.
10. Floodplains – Need to show the delineated floodplain boundaries if the site is within a Federal Emergency
Management Agency’s (FEMA) special flood hazard area. Will also need to apply for Floodplain Use Permit.
11. Erosion Setbacks – For washes and other watercourse channels an erosion setback will need to be determined,
which meets Arizona State Standard 5-96.
Since complex drainage systems may require more detailed information, a meeting should be arranged with
personnel from Drainage Review.
