Surprise council approval clears way for Camp Corp
Posted

During its March 21 meeting, the Surprise City Council approved a zoning change on the 25-plusacre Camp Corp USA property and a general plan map amendment on a nearly 76-acre portion of the Foxfire Commerce Park, north of Bell Road and east of Grand Avenue, where Camp Corp is based.
The company makes modular components for camps, and is moving into residential and commercial production including retail stores, office buildings and homes. Ottawa University Arizona is expected to be a client.
CampCorp approached the city about rezoning its property from regional commercial to general industrial on the 25-plusacre property. The parties have worked on this and the proposed general plan amendment for more than a year.
The general plan amendment adds business park and industrial to the land uses allowed in this area.
In turn, this allows the company to use an existing rail spur in the area to bring materials to the site and truck out the final product.
The rezone will correct the company’s legal nonconforming status to conforming allowing the expansion of use on the largely vacant parcel. Two concerned Sun City West residents contacted the city earlier in the process, Surprise planner Hobart Wingard said.
