 Derek Scheerer, Planner II, presented the request for approval of The Sanctuary
 Phase I subdivision preliminary plat. He explained that this item was continued from

City of Maricopa Page 1
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes - Final June 23, 2025

 the previous meeting to address concerns about access to the proposed subdivision.

 Mr. Scheerer shared an overview of the project, including the location, proposed lot
 sizes, and amenities. He highlighted the main access point from Hartman Road and
 the all-weather emergency access road, which was a point of concern for the
 Commission.

 Eduardo Raudales, City Engineer, addressed the Commission's concerns about the
 emergency access road. He explained that building a full road immediately would
 significantly increase costs for homebuyers. He also mentioned that the city has used
 similar emergency access strategies in other developments.

 Commissioner Klob expressed concerns about potential recession risks and the
 possibility of developers walking away from the project. He worried about residents
 being left without proper access if the development was not completed. Mr. Raudales
 clarified that the emergency access road would be maintained by the Homeowner’s
 Association, not the developer, to ensure its long-term maintenance. He also explained
 that the city has mechanisms to step in and maintain the road if necessary.

 Commissioner Robertson suggested that a clear policy be established for opening the
 emergency access gate in non-fire situations, such as water main breaks or other
 emergencies.

 Motion to approve SUB 24-07 was made by Vice Chair Juarez III and seconded by
 Commissioner Robertson. The motion failed by the following vote:

 Aye, 3 - Commissioner Robertson, Chair Singleton, and Vice Chair Juarez III

 Nay, 3 - Commissioner Klob, Commissioner Brems, and Commissioner Yocum

 The Commission voted to enter Executive Session to further discuss this item.

 A motion was made by Commissioner Yocum to open Executive Session; second was
 made by Commissioner Klob. Motion passed unanimously.

 The Commission entered Executive Session at 6:25 p.m. The Commission came out
 of Executive Session at 6:48 p.m.

 The meeting reconvening at 6:50 p.m. Chairman Singleton asked if any of the
 Commissioners had questions or comments on this item. No Commissioners had
 questions or comments.

 A motion was made by Commissioner Robertson, seconded by Vice Chair
 Juarez III, that this Subdivision be Approved. The motion carried by a
 unanimous vote.

 Derek Scheerer presented the request for a Minor General Plan Amendment to change
 the future land use designation from Commercial to Master Planned Community for
 approximately 9 acres.

 Julie Vermilion, the representative from CVL Consultants and applicant's
 representative, provided further details about the proposal. She shared the proposed
 site plan, which includes a centrally located park and designated access from
 surrounding parcels, and emphasized the project's intent to align with modern
 development patterns. Additionally, she showcased the circulation plan highlighting
 road improvements on Steen and Anderson Roads, as well as illustrated wall and entry
 sign elevations featuring stone accents and softened landscaping for a cohesive
 theme.

 During the public hearing, Mary Hartman, representing the Hartman family, came
 forward to address several critical concerns and requests they had related to the
 development. Her concerns included the assurance of maintaining adequate access
 points for the family property, the need for protection of an existing domestic well
 currently supplying the homestead with water, and ensuring that the current irrigation
 easements essential for farming operations remain intact and undisturbed by the new
 development.

 A motion was made by Vice Chair Juarez III, seconded by Commissioner Klob,
 that this General Plan Amendment be Approved. The motion carried by a
 unanimous vote.

 5.3 PAD 24-07
 Public Hearing: The Planning and Zoning Commission shall discuss and
 take action on a request for a Zoning Map Amendment on approximately
 193 +/- acres effectively rezoning the site from the Hartman Ranch
 Planned Area Development (PAD) CR-3 Single-Family Residential to the
 Hartman Ranch Planned Area Development (PAD). The site is generally
 located at the southeast corner of W. Steen Rd. and N. Anderson Rd.
 DISCUSSION AND ACTION.

 Derek Scheerer presented the request for a Zoning Map Amendment to rezone
 approximately 193 acres from CR-3 Single-Family Residential to Planned Area
 Development. He described the intent of the amendment, emphasizing alignment with
 current zoning ordinances and ensuring modern development standards. Derek
 highlighted changes such as the introduction of a variety of lot sizes intended to
 accommodate different housing needs.

 Commissioner Klob expressed concerns in a separate discussion about potential
 changes to lot sizes and densities in the future. He specifically noted worries about the
 introduction of innovative lot designs such as zero lot lines and how these might
 impact the rural character of the area and density limits.

 During the public hearing, Jocelyn Scott, representing the Hartman family, came
 forward and requested a continuance. She stated this was necessary to allow the
 family additional time to discuss and consult with legal representation to address any
 outstanding issues and reach a comprehensive agreement with the developer.

 A motion was made by Commissioner Robertson, seconded by Vice Chair

 vote.
