Planning staff reported the site has an open code case for multiple occupied RVs and an unpermitted structure; staff recommended denial of the applicant’s request for a two‑year permit and said the Flood Control District objected to a two‑year timeframe, noting that floodplain regulations generally allow RV occupancy for no more than 180 consecutive days and require the unit to remain “highway ready.” Applicant Jeanette Ramirez told the board she has obtained a building permit (issued February 2025), installed a septic connection and is in the process of obtaining the manufactured home and contractor services. “I would like to be in compliance,” Ramirez said; she asked for two years to complete installation but acknowledged ongoing permit steps and constraints.

Board discussion focused on enforcement history and the Flood Control District’s objection. Staff clarified that a temporary use permit for occupant RVs must be tied to an issued permit for the residence and that floodplain rules may impose a shorter, non‑modifiable limit. Member Ward moved to approve the staff‑recommended permit with its listed conditions; Vice Chairperson seconded. The motion passed (recorded as 3-0). Staff noted the approval applies to a single RV and that any additional occupied RVs on-site must be removed. Members advised the applicant to coordinate with Flood Control District staff to reconcile the county permit and floodplain limitations.

ACTIONS AT MEETING: TU250010 approved with staff-recommended conditions; board acknowledged Flood Control District objection that limits occupancy to 180 consecutive days under floodplain rules; approval recorded 3-0.

Carter of Buckhorn Trail, said she received no certified notice of earlier proceedings and asked staff to coordinate on-site inspections to explain permitting requirements.

Chip, a county code‑compliance inspector, told the board staff inspected the Whitman-area parcel in November 2023 and found occupied RVs, portable restrooms and trash. A hearing officer later found respondents responsible and imposed an initial noncompliance fine and a prospective daily fine beginning October 14, 2025 if the property remained out of compliance. Carter told the board she had not received notice of the initial hearing and that no one had lived in the trailers for over a year, saying she used one trailer for storage after moving due to financial reasons: “I never received a notice or anything about the property… there has not been anybody living in those trailers or that trailer for over a year,” Carter said.

Staff offered to coordinate a new hearing and an on-site inspection to explain permitting and entitlement limitations. Darren, county staff, told the board a parcel inside the Luke Air Force Base overflight/clear zone cannot be permitted for residential occupancy or mobile homes under a memorandum of understanding and applicable state rules. After staff proposed scheduling and coordinating an on-site inspection, Chairman Loper moved to continue V202302237 indefinitely; Member Clapp seconded. The motion passed by roll call.

ACTIONS AT MEETING: V202302237 (code enforcement review) continued indefinitely by unanimous roll-call vote. Staff committed to coordinate an on-site inspection and assist the respondent with understanding applicable permitting limits.

Joel, the county planner, told the board the billboard had been permitted in 2013 to face Black Canyon Highway and that a 2021 zoning text amendment made it legally nonconforming within a scenic corridor. Joel recommended denial of expansion. The applicant's attorney, Bill Allison, representing Lamar Advertising and property owner M and J Group LLC, said the sign “functioned very well from the time it was erected in 2014 until late 2024” and that construction of the ADOT sound wall had removed visibility from the freeway. Allison asked the board to restore functionality by increasing the sign face to 672 square feet and the overall height to 70 feet so portions of the sign would again be visible from I-17.

Staff highlighted the ordinance changes and the county’s scenic-corridor policy and pointed to legislative options, including a special-use-permit process for alterations to legally nonconforming billboards. Joel and Darren discussed how prior interpretations tied permitting to street orientation and how the 2021 text amendment removed orientation as a justification for clustering. Allison countered that ADOT’s permit records listed the route as I-17 and that the board should consider the effect of forces beyond the property owner's control.

Board members debated remedies. Some members said the property owner had been harmed by actions outside the owner's control and that a larger, taller sign without illumination would be a reasonable option to restore function. Member Clapp moved to approve BA250006 subject to the conditions in the staff report; the motion passed 4-0. The board noted the applicant retains the option to pursue a special use permit for relocation or other legislative entitlements if desired.

ACTIONS AT MEETING: BA250006 variance to increase billboard size and height was approved by roll-call vote 4-0. The approval included conditions from the staff report; board members also noted the applicant may pursue a special-use-permit alternative.

PROVENANCE: Staff presentation and legal background (s=2562.28–2678.98); applicant presentation and video evidence (s=3067.4202–3472.2698); board discussion and motion/vote (s=3761.635–4065.8052).","The Board of Adjustment approved a variance to increase a legally nonconforming billboard's size and height after ADOT constructed a sound wall that blocked views from I-17; staff and neighbors raised scenic-corridor concerns but the board approved the request 4-0.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6598349,"Board OKs temporary RV housing and construction yard for Stapley property; front-yard variance withdrawn",1137,805000,1942000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3043007-bcd2761d393c8828088ef6f7a1968012&start=805&end=1942","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3043007-bcd2761d393c8828088ef6f7a1968012/thumbnail_805000.jpg","/articles/6598349/Maricopa-County/Arizona/Board-OKs-temporary-RV-housing-and-construction-yard-for-Stapley-property-front-yard-variance-withdrawn","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6598349-0144545b0cccd4df7df3b2b7c65d0f03/orig.mp4?Expires=1770885545&Signature=aR6Kz6yZwn0J6ZGh~QvJp-Y7c6pcHRATc4gULM8fgTzwEXHOj8dEsV00X6s9bVXjNeybyX326a1Me8G7fdWjPv7WhK1NUQB-m7UF0QqJAUxc51fPk6y5C4yK2qs1sO-2iR5xRlWC4FnbxyX6whQj-rVaaEmN2nn59Kp-3LVJdrOTnBIgPAAtuHrgt9mVNf-WlQl5NFViBfSPddY700AzjyPaPhjMVvVMZHaCpzNAJFfNRRfkhvaXnthCoJD0Joi1T9bow-8wPvMvMH7A-6-1U4oLyoh62d93HUPfBMvMQ7uKIOJa7lLY0F0-LWKSVsoC2bmeIIaMsDhgwwGuo3Zktg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Maricopa County Board of Adjustment on a 4-0 vote approved a temporary use permit that allows an RV as temporary housing during construction at 10579 East McClellan Road in Mesa and a second temporary use permit authorizing a temporary construction yard; a requested variance to reduce the required front-yard setback was withdrawn by the applicant.

The approvals came after staff recommended upholding its interpretation that “temporary housing” applies only to the housing unit itself and not to additional shade canopies or shipping-container storage used to shelter the unit. Martin, a county planner, told the board the shade structure and storage containers were built in the required front yard without permits and would need to be moved unless the board approved a separate variance. The applicant, Brent Stapley, said he and his wife bought the property in November 2023 and began construction October 30, 2024. “We are… asking for whatever we need to do so that we can keep it there and stay there for at least a hundred and 80 days or get a construction yard,” Stapley told the board, adding neighbors support the home under construction.

Staff said the temporary-housing permit (TU250002) satisfied requirements for an RV-based temporary residence but that the shade canopy and three shipping containers better fit a temporary construction yard category (TU250019) or a variance for locations within the required front yard (BA250024). After board discussion about whether the canopy and containers could remain as part of a temporary construction yard, Member Clapp moved to approve TU250002 subject to the conditions listed in the staff report; Member Ward seconded. The motion passed 4-0. Member Clapp then moved to approve TU250019 (the temporary construction yard) subject to the staff conditions; Member Ward seconded and the board approved 4-0. The separate variance request, BA250024, was not taken up and the board and staff treated it as withdrawn at the applicant's request.

Board members said they were persuaded that allowing the temporary housing and a construction yard — with the construction-yard permit superseding certain conditions — was an acceptable remedy while the permanent residence is built. Staff recorded that if the board ruled that the shade and storage are not part of the temporary-housing category, the shipping containers and canopy must be moved out of the required front yard or be the subject of a separately approved variance and issued permits. The Stapleys said they would remove the temporary structures after construction is finished.

The board’s actions leave the applicant able to proceed with a two‑year temporary construction-yard permit tied to the valid building permit for the residence, and a two‑year temporary-housing allowance for the RV as approved.

ACTIONS AT MEETING: The board approved TU250002 (temporary housing) and TU250019 (temporary construction yard), both by 4-0 roll-call votes; BA250024 (variance reducing front-yard setback) was withdrawn by agreement.

PROVENANCE: Transcript begins with staff introduction of the three related cases and Martin’s presentation (s=805.29–905.98) and ends with the board’s votes on TU250002 and TU250019 and the withdrawal/skip of BA250024 (s=1920.565–2003.345).","The Maricopa County Board of Adjustment approved two temporary use permits to allow an RV to remain on a Stapley family lot during home construction and to permit an associated construction yard; a requested variance to reduce the required front-yard setback was withdrawn.","actionData","errors"]
