TC Regular Session
Date: 06/02/2010
Requested by: Paul Popelka, Acting Planning and Zoning Director
Submitted By: David Ronquillo, Planning and Zoning
Department: Planning and Zoning
Information
SUBJECT:
OV1205-23C Approval of a one year time extension for the Bighorn Commerce Center development
plan to May 20, 2011. Property is located on the northeast corner of Oracle Road and Rams Field Pass.
SUMMARY:
The applicant is requesting a one-year extension of the development plan for this commercial project
of retail and restaurant uses. The development plan was originally approved in 2006 and was
envisioned to be developed in two phases. To date, there has been no development of the site. The
development plan expired May 20, 2010.
• 2005: Town Council approved rezoning from Technological Park to C-1
• 2006: Town Council approved development plan
• 2007: Town Council approved development plan extension
• 2008: Town Council approved development plan extension
• 2009: Town Council approved development plan extension
DISCUSSION:
Per the Oro valley Zoning Code Revised (OVZCR) Section 22.9 F 8 b, if improvements have not been
started within two years of the date of approval of the development plan, the plan shall be deemed to
have been abandoned. A request to extend the time beyond two years must be submitted in writing to
the Town Council within two years of the date of approval. This development plan has been extended
each year since its original expiration in 2007. There is no limit on the number of extensions that may be
granted to a development project.
The applicant requested the extension in advance of the expiration date. Current economic conditions,
including a challenging commercial credit market, have delayed this and other projects in the area. The
Public Works Department has approved improvement plans for the project and construction will
commence as market conditions improve.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None
CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDATION:
The development plan meets all applicable OVZCR requirements and there have been no recent
OVZCR changes that would impose additional standards on the plan.
Staff recommends approval of a one-year development plan extension to May 20, 2011.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
The Town Council may wish to consider one of the following motions:
I move to [approve, approve with conditions or deny] OV1205-23C, BigHorn Commerce Center
development plan extension to May 20, 2011.

Honorable Mayor and Council
11000 N. La Canada Drive
Oro Valley, Arizona 85737
OV12-05-23 , Robert Solfisburg, representing BigHorn Commerce
Center LLC, requests a twelve month extension for the Development
Plan of Bighorn Commerce Center located at North Oracle Road and
Rams Field Pass.
Mr. Mayor and Council:
The owners of Bighorn Commerce LLC request a 12 month extension of the
above referenced Development Plan and allow additional time to complete
financing reguirements and tenant negotiations. The overall economic
climate is causing tenants and commercial users to delay decisions. I remain
hopeful this changes in the near term. Thank you for your support.

Re: OV12-09-14 - Pre -Application Letter for Sherwin Williams Paint Store at Big
Horn Commerce Center
The Town of Oro Valley Department of Public Works offers the comments listed below.
Note: these comments are preliminary in nature and subject to change upon receipt of
more detailed information. These comments are for guidance and are not a substitute for
all applicable Town of Oro Valley, Pima County, State of Arizona and Federal codes,
regulations, ordinances and/or laws. The following comments are to be addressed and
are meant to protect the public's health, safety, and general welfare:
1. DRAINAGE
A drainage report was previously prepared and approved for the Big Horn
Commerce Center under Oro Valley project number OV12-05-23. The originally
approved drainage report was prepared by JE Fuller Hydrology & Geomorphology,
Inc., stamped 11/16/2005. - A drainage report addendum shall be required to
substantiate the proposed Phase 1 design. A scoping meeting can be arranged
with The Town of Oro Valley prior to preparing the drainage report if the engineer
desires. The drainage report shall address the following:
a. The drainage report addendum shall outline what portions of the drainage
improvements will be constructed with Phase 1 of this project. It is to provide
back up information and calculations to support proposed phasing (e.g.,
decreased detention, revised watersheds, etc).
b. The drainage report addendum shall describe how the proposed site will
function in the interim condition. It must clearly demonstrate how stormwater
will be conveyed and contained within intended areas if only a portion of the
originally approved drainage improvements (e.g., flood wall along ADOT R/W,
detention basin, etc) are constructed.
c. Within the improvement plans, show the 100-yr peak flow values at all points of
concentration and all points where drainage enters or exits the site.
d. The applicant has indicated that this project will propose a minor land division
to split this development from the remainder of the commercial center. Provide
information/documentation to describe how drainage will be dealt with on a lot
to lot basis. Arrangements must be made with affected owners and
documentation submitted (e.g., drainage easements, CC&R's, etc.)

e. Indicate all finished floor elevations, building envelopes, detention basin water
surface elevations, and floodplain water surface elevations at intervals along
the Oracle Road channel.
f. Delineate any regulatory floodplains and erosion hazard setback lines.
g. Ensure that the phased drainage design conforms to the addendum or
applicable sections of the originally approved report.
h. Provide reference to the originally approved drainage report (OV12-05-23).
Note: Additional drainage report requirements may be required by the Arizona
Department of Transportation (ADOT). Coordinate any additional requirements
with ADOT.
2. SOILS
A geotechnical report was previously prepared and approved for the Big Horn
Commerce Center under Oro Valley project number OV12-05-23. The originally
approved geotechnical report was prepared by Pattison Evanoff Engineering, LLC,
dated April 28, 1999. The approved geotechnical report with said recommendations
may be used for this project so long as the design parameters remain unchanged.
3. TRAFFIC
A traffic impact analysis (TIA) was previously prepared and approved for the Big Horn
Commerce Center as part of the rezoning (OV9-04-09). As part of the rezoning
conditions and TIA recommendations, off -site improvements to Rams Field Pass
Road are required by the Big Horn Commerce Center project. This single pad
construction may not require that these improvements be made at this time. A traffic
statement with supporting information shall be submitted to demonstrate that this
phase of the project will not trigger the off -site improvements at this time.
The applicant/engineer is responsible for coordinating with ADOT to determine their
TIA requirements. Any improvements within ADOT's right-of-way will require ADOT's
approval and separate permit.
4. LANDSCAPING
A landscape plan was previously prepared and approved for the Big Horn Commerce
Center under Oro Valley project number OV12-05-23. Per the Town's Planning and
Zoning Department, a revised landscape plan will not be required at this time. You
may contact David Ronquillo, the planner assigned to this project, with any questions
such as what changes may trigger a revision to the Landscape Plan.
5. GRADING
A Type 2 Grading Permit will be required to construct utilities, parking area access
lanes (PAAL's), parking lots, drainage structures, and general site improvements for
this project. Grading shall be in conformance with the Town of Oro Valley Grading
Ordinance, Oro Valley Zoning Code (OVZC) Section 27.9. The maximum depth of a
cut or fill shall not exceed six feet measured vertically from the existing grade to the
finished elevation. The depth of a cut or fill slope may be increased to eight feet
when terracing is utilized in conformance with Illustration 27.9-3 of the OVZC. For

any construction, the height of exposed, constructed slopes shall not exceed 12
feet in the vertical dimension. Excavation, grading, and fill shall also be in
conformance with the project's geotechnical report and the 2006 International
Building Code.
6. TITLE REPORT
A title report is required to verify ownership and identify all easements within the
subject property. Submit two legible copies of the current Title Report, updated to
within 30 days of submittal. Provide complete copies of the recorded dockets and
pages of the easements as identified within Schedule B of the Title Report. These
dockets shall include all information necessary to corroborate easements shown
within the Improvement Plans.
7. GENERAL INFORMATION
Restoration and construction assurances approved by the Public Works Department
will be required prior to the issuance of a grading permit; see Chapter 26.6 of the
OVZC.
8. GENERAL COMMENTS:
a. Show all existing and proposed utilities.
b. Show and label all existing and proposed easements on and adjacent to the
proposed development. The improvement plans should provide information to
indicate how drainage, proposed utilities, and future access will be dealt with on a
lot to lot basis.
c. Provide a barrier such as temporary curbing along the north edge of the parking
lot/PAAL to keep motorists from accessing the non -developed portion of the
commercial center.

a 10'-wide planting island is required. Revise the parking spaces in front of the
proposed building as necessary.
e. Any improvements within ADOT's right-of-way will require ADOT's approval and
separate permit.
