Dear Paul and Richard, Thank you for submitting a General Plan Amendment for Rancho Vistoso Neighborhood 5, Parcels 5-I and 5-R. Staff received the tentative acceptance letter from the Amphi School district on March 30, 2007 (attached). As a result of this letter, the core development issues identified require inclusion into this General Plan amendment. These issues require changes to the provided exhibits for the Planning and Zoning Commission. This information is discussed in greater detail below. Items required prior to Public Hearings at Planning and Zoning Commission: 1. The parcel indicated for the proposed school site has not been platted. It is difficult to provide any accurate information for a parcel that does not exist. Therefore, the site is required to be platted prior to proceeding in order to permit proper analysis. This can be accomplished through a minor land subdivision. Please submit this application (attached). 2. Two neighborhood meetings are required — one prior to the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting and one prior to the Council hearing. Therefore, it would be prudent to begin the neighborhood meeting process. Please provide staff with the specifics of the first neighborhood meeting. Notification procedure and distances are specified in the attached handouts. Generally, the distance for notification is 1,000 feet. www.townoforovalley.com Please ensure that the notification procedures "jump across right-of-ways" and does not divide subdivisions in any way. 3. Furthermore, two public hearing shall be held before the Planning and Zoning Commission (in different locations). Therefore, it would be prudent to begin looking for a location for the second public hearing within the General Plan amendment area. 4. All General Plan amendments shall utilize the Town of Oro Valley's GIS files. Using these files, revise the exhibits to show the future extension of Arrowsmith Drive and re -alignments and re -configuration of Moore Road, as well as the correct parcel information. The GIS files will also provide the calculation for the open space trade (roughly 1.9 acres). 5. Revise the General Plan Amendment exhibit — proposed conditions to reflect the realignment and reconfiguration of Moore Road per the submittal narrative if Moore Road is not intended to connect across the Big Wash and link the east and west portions of Rancho Vistoso Boulevard. If this re -alignment is not done concurrently with this application, a future General Plan amendment will be required. Staff suggests combining these items. 6. Revise the General Plan Amendment exhibit to delineate the Town ROW system as it is depicted within the current Town of Oro Valley General Plan — Figure 4. In addition to the arterials shown in the exhibit, this comment includes the delineation of the collector street system. 7. Provide additional analysis in the narrative specifically addressing General Plan visions, goals, and policies, with specific emphasis on the following issues: compatibility, traffic, and open space. Address the letter to the Planning and Zoning Commissioners of Oro Valley and specifically focus on the following policies: • "The amendment will not adversely impact the community as a whole, or a portion of the community without an acceptable means of mitigating these impacts through the subsequent zoning and development processes." • "How the proposal will consider development impacts on natural rolling terrain and emphasize low -density developments in these areas. This will include evaluating areas with slopes of fifteen percent (15%) and greater for development compatibility and safety, with the possibility of preserving them as natural open space". • "How the proposal will have new development to locate uses that depend on convenient transportation access (e.g., higher density residential and commercial) near major arterial streets". "The proposed change is sustainable by contributing to the socio-economic betterment of the Community, while achieving community and environmental compatibility". 8. Provide detailed calculations of the areas of the individual areas to be modified and/or traded and label them on the maps in regards to the proposed open space trade area for the new school site. Trades are required to be at a 1:1 ratio and require approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Council. Please review the attached "Criteria for Development" information. The following issues will be conditions of this General Plan amendment: 1. A meaningful open space trade of a 1:1 ratio shall be proposed for review and approval to from the Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Council. 2. East Arrowsmith Drive shall be extended north and connect to Moore Road east of Rancho Vistoso Boulevard. 3. Public gravity sanitary sewer shall be extended from the existing Pima County Wastewater Management connection point to service the identified future Amphitheater School site. 4. Provide a floodplain analysis for Big/Honey Bee Washes adjacent to parcel 5-R which determines the location of the loo-year flood limits and describe mitigating measures that will be needed to provide the acceptable buildable land area required by Amphitheater School District. Items required for Resubmittal: o Minor lands subdivision application for staff review and approval. Proposed school site is required to be platted prior .to proceeding to the Planning and Zoning Commission. o Ten copies of 24"x36" and 11"M7" color copies are required. For the Planning and Zoning Commission hearing, twenty-eight (28) color copies 11"x17" sized are required. The required maps are as follows: • Map showing existing General Plan Land Use Map categories; • Map showing proposed General Plan Land Use Map categories; • Map showing existing Rancho Vistoso PAD zoning categories; • A side -by -side comparison of existing and proposed General Plan Land Use Map categories/ Rancho Vistoso PAD zoning (similar to map created for the Oro.Valley Marketplace). All these maps will be created using the Town of Oro valley's GIS files — which was provided for your use via email June 21, 2007. o Submit all files digitally on CD using the Town's GIS files (both CAD files and GIS shapefiles). o Synopsis from neighborhood meeting, with sign -in sheet. Additional items to be submitted include the address list of all notified person and a copy of the letter sent with the notification of the neighborhood meeting. Additionally, a Rancho Vistoso PAD amendment is required. A Site Analysis and Tentative Development Plan are required to be submitted. The Tentative Development Plan (TDP) checklist (Section 3-104) for PAD amendments has been previously provided for your use. If you have any questions about this process, we would be happy to schedule a meeting with you. As a reminder, in addition to the General Plan amendment revised exhibits (ten copies), the following item swill be required to process the PAD amendment. We understand that this item will be processed separately from the General Plan amendment. 1. A narrative addressing the following: a. How the proposal is in compliance with the Golf Course Overlay District. b. What the current conditions are — size of parcels (in acres and square feet). c. Proposed land use changes with the approximate area of each land . use to be modified, and the new proposed use. d. Proposed density of the "proposed" medium density residential site. e. Site constraints, such as access, slopes and floodplains; A meeting with the Amphitheater School representative to discuss the General Plan Amendment proposal is schedule for June 28th, 2007 at 2 pm at our offices. We look forward to your participation at this meeting. We look forward to the successful completion of this project. If you have any questions, please contact me. Most Cordially, Pamela J.

Introduction 12 Oro Valley General Plan Policy Document Adopted June 15, 2005 Adoption of Amendment. The disposition of the General Plan amendment proposed shall be based on consistency with the vision, goals, and policies of the General Plan, with special emphasis on: 1. The proposed change is sustainable by contributing to the socio-economic betterment of the Community, while achieving community and environmental compatibility; and, 2. The proposed change reflects market demand which leads to viability and general community acceptance; and, 3. The amendment will not adversely impact the community as a whole, or a portion of the community without an acceptable means of mitigating these impacts through the subsequent zoning and development processes.. The applicant for the amendment shall have the burden of presenting facts and other materials to support these conclusions. PROJECT CONFORMANCE WITH PLAN Arizona State Law requires that zoning be in conformance with the General Plan. ARS Section §9- 462.01 F defines conformance as follows: "a rezoning ordinance conforms with the land use element of the general plan if it proposes land uses, densities or intensities within the range of identified uses, densities and intensities of the land use element of the general plan." All rezoning proposals and development projects shall be evaluated for conformance with the Plan. Rezoning Conformance Per the Town's zoning code, "[a]ny new proposal for development, which does not comply [with the General Plan], will be subject to denial by the Town Council." Thus, new development proposals must match the land use map in accordance with the Town's zoning code and the requirements of the State statute referenced above. Further, the Growing Smarter Acts, as noted by the Arizona Department of Commerce Community Planning Program, require that "all rezoning ordinances and regulations adopted shall not only be consistent with, but must conform to the adopted General Plan. The rezoning ordinance shall further the implementation of, and not be contrary to, the goals, policies, and applicable elements of the Plan. A rezoning ordinance conforms to the Land Use Element if it proposes land uses, densities or intensities within the range for the subject property as stated in the General Plan." To this end, proposals for zoning change should be evaluated in relation to all of the policies in the General Plan (not just the map and those in the Land Use Element). When a proposed zoning change is not in compliance, the applicant will be required to amend the General Plan, or the proposal, prior to initiating a rezoning. Development Review General Plan conformance shall also be used as a criterion in the approval or denial of other types of development proposals, such as development plans, plats, and architecture. When considering a development proposal, Town staff, the Planning and Zoning Commission, the Development Review Board, and the Town Council will evaluate the proposal as to how it relates to the key concepts in the General Plan. It is the burden of the applicant to provide clear and convincing proof, through an analysis of each applicable policy, that the proposal is in conformance with the General Plan. 13 Introduction Oro Valley General Plan Policy Document AdoptedJune 15, 2005 Table 1: General Plan Amendment Matrix Pro osed Desi nation (Change To) Existing Designation'' PSP& (Change From) R-LDR LDR1 LDR2 MDR HDR MPC RGC NCO CRC COP SCH PARK OS R-LDR ry a �. .,._ x a« . !s a..�.,_ LDR2:, MDR r� r,^ X HDR � "� a � ■ k-.

This proposed amendment is not broad in scope, but rather focuses on the location of the designated school site within Neighborhood Five. This proposed amendment would not adversely affect the public. In fact, as explained below, this amendment would reduce commute time to and from school, thus slightly reducing traffic volumes on nearby streets and lessening the need for Moore Road to eventually cross Honey Bee Wash and connect to the current school site location. Parcel 5-1 is currently designated in the General Plan as "School" and in the Rancho Vistoso PAD (RVPAD) as a "Junior— Senior High School". Amphitheater School District has determined that their long-term needs would be served more efficiently and effectively by relocating the designated school site onto Parcel 5-R, which is near Rancho Vistoso Boulevard and Arrowsmith Road, approximately one mile southwest of the current school site location. The most apparent reason for this determination is that the bulk of the student population that is anticipated to eventually attend the school will live to the west of Rancho Vistoso Boulevard, especially in Neighborhood Ten, and beyond. Thus, relocating the school site from Parcel 5-1 to Parcel 5-R brings the school in closer relation to its anticipated service area. Parcel 5-R is currently designated in the General Plan as "Medium Density Residential" and in the RVPAD as "Medium -High Density Residential". We have met with the District on several occasions and have agreed to provide an equivalently sized school site on Parcel 5-R and surrounding area currently designated in the General Plan as "Resort / Golf Course" and in the RVPAD as "Recreation Area / Golf Course". Conceptually, the future school buildings would be constructed within the existing buildable limits of Parcel 5-R, while portions of the future sports fields would extend into the current golf course area to the east. The proposed amendment would essentially reverse the Parcel 5-1 / Parcel 5-R land use designations in both the General Plan and the RVPAD so that 5-R becomes the designated school site and 5-1 becomes medium -high density residential. The entitled portion of Parcel 5-1 is approximately 16 acres larger than the entitled portion of Parcel 5-R. However, the entitled portion of Parcel 5-1 is unconstrained by excessive slopes orflood plains. In addition, the Rancho Vistoso PAD allows up to 3555 dwelling Engineering • Planning • Surveying • Urban Design • Landscape Architecture Offices located in Tucson, Phoenix, Las Vegas • E-mail: tucson@wlbgroup.com 4444 East Broadway • Tucson, Arizona 85711 • (520) 881-7480 • FAX (520) 881-7492 Mr. Sarah More, FAICP September 29, 2006 Page 2 units within Neighborhood Five, of which only 650 have been developed, and less than 170 entitled acres remain. As such, the entire entitled portion of Parcel 5-1 has been designated as Medium Density Residential in this General Plan amendment. This proposed amendment is needed in order to secure the school site desired by the School District. If you would like to discuss this issue or if you have any questions, please contact me. I look forward to continuing this process with you.

Additional items may be required by the Planning and Zoning Commission following the initiation. Initiation: 1. First, please note that the parcel numbers provided do not correspond to the parcel locations proposed to be amended (review attached General Plan map and Rancho Vistoso PAD map - the two parcels to be modified are indicated by the blue lines). Provide the correct parcel data on Cl) (CAD files and GIS shapefiles) for staff review. 2. A condition of initiation will be that a letter from the Amphitheater School is provided which states that they approve of the new school site. Please note, if they do not approve of the proposed school site, this initiation cannot move forward. 3. A narrative addressing how conditions have changed since the last adoption (November 2005) of the General Plan. Items required prior to Public Hearinas at Planning and Zonina Commission: 1. A CAD file and GIS shapefile of the future extension of Moore Road shall be submitted. 2. More analysis on the current narrative specifically addressing General Plan visions, goals, and policies, with specific emphasis on the following issues: compatibility, traffic, and open space. Specifically, please focus on the following policies: ..F:\OV\OV11\2006\OV11-06-03 1 www.townoforovalley.com • "The amendment will not adversely impact the community as a whole, or a portion of the community without an acceptable means of mitigating these impacts through the subsequent zoning and development processes." • "How the proposal will consider development impacts on natural rolling terrain and emphasize low -density developments in these areas. This will include evaluating areas with slopes of fifteen percent (15%) and greater for development compatibility and safety, with the possibility of preserving them as natural open space". • "How the proposal will have new development to locate uses that depend on convenient transportation access (e.g., higher density residential and commercial) near major arterial streets". • "The proposed change is sustainable by contributing to the socio- economic betterment of the Community, while achieving community and environmental compatibility"; and, 3. Staff requires ten copies of appropriately -scaled 24"x36" and 11"47" color copies. For the Planning and Zoning Commission hearing, twenty-eight color copies of 11"47" are required. The required maps are as follows: • Map showing existing General Plan Land Use Map categories; • Map showing proposed General Plan Land Use Map categories; • Map showing existing Rancho Vistoso PAD zoning categories; • Map showing proposed Rancho Vistoso PAD zoning categories; and • A side -by -side comparison of existing and proposed General Plan Land Use Map categories/ Rancho Vistoso PAD zoning (similar to map created for the Oro Valley Marketplace). 4. Submit all files digitally on CD (CAD files and GIS shapefiles). 5. Provide more detailed calculations of the areas of the individual areas to be modified and/or traded and label them on the maps. 4. ENGINEERING: a. Revise the General Plan Amendment exhibit - proposed conditions to reflect the realignment of Moore Road per the submittal narrative. b.

La Canada Drive Oro Valley, Arizona 85737 RE: Pima County's Response to OV11-06-03, Rancho Vistoso Neighborhood 3, Town of Oro Valley Major Plan Amendment request Dear Ms. Gay: Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the above -referenced. Pima County offers the following comments on the major plan amendment request submitted to your office. Comments from the Planning Division, Pima County Development Services Department: There is concern over how this amendment request would impact the Resource Transition (RT)- designated area on the east side of Oracle Road at its intersection with Tangerine Road. The project site is contiguous to the RT area, separated by Oracle Road. Other comments related to environmental planning, flood control and transportation are appended herein. Environmental Planning This proposed amendment to the Oro Valley General Plan seeks to revise, re -configure, and re- designate various land uses as identified in the existing General Plan and PAD for Rancho Vistoso Neighborhood 3. We understand that the end results will: • re -designate approximately 37 acres in the Big Wash floodplain as Natural Open Space and transfer previously approved development to other areas within Neighborhood 3; • re -align the future bank protection extension such that it better aligns with the boundary of the Big Wash floodplain; • re -configure and expand the park site to incorporate a node trail system; and • consolidate commercial and office uses along Oracle Road thereby reducing fragmentation of open space. Comparing this proposal with what was approved in the existing PAD, there is no change in the total number of acres designated for parks and open space. Neither is there any change in the total number of acres proposed for development nor the types of planned land uses requested. 201 N. Stone Avenue, 2n" Floor, Tucson, Arizona, 85701, Telephone: 520-740-6800, Facsimile: 520-623-5411 c�'C 2 Looking at this request as if it were under Pima County's jurisdiction, it would be subject to the Conservation Lands System (CLS) and its corresponding Conservation Guidelines for Important Riparian Areas and Multiple Use Management Areas. The application and determination of conservation objectives for the retention of undisturbed natural open space (NOS) are estimated in the following table. Table 1. Application of CLS Conservation Guidelines and estimates of undisturbed natural open space to be conserved. (Note: Estimates are based on a comparison of the proposed project with data available from Pima County's MapGuide System.) PAD Acres CLS Conservation CLS N.O.S. to be Objective Conserved' Important 157 95% 149 Riparian Areas Multiple Use 653 66 Z/% 435 Management Area TOTAL 810 --- 584 1 = Estimated acreage of natural open space (N.O.S.) The existing PAD and the current proposal provide approximately 383 acres of parks and open space; this is approximately 47% of the area within Neighborhood 3 (there is no further distinction between open space and natural open space). At face value, there appears to be a deficit between the amount of open space that is proposed (and previously approved) and what is expected in order to conform to CLS objectives. However, conservation objectives within the larger Rancho Vistoso Development area, of which Neighborhood 3 is part, are likely being fulfilled with execution of the Development Agreement between Pima County and Stone Canyon L.L.C. (3/12/2002). This Development Agreement creates and preserves the Honey Bee Canyon Biological Corridor by designating approximately 70% (247 acres) of Neighborhood 12 as natural open space and permanently protecting 988 acres of natural open space within the larger Rancho Vistoso Development area through conveyance or conservation easement to Pima County. These requirements plus the on -site provisions of Neighborhood 3 suggest that CLS conformance has been achieved. Although the specific elements of this proposed plan amendment, as referenced on the previous page, are environmentally -favorable revisions when compared to the existing PAD, there is additional opportunity to consolidate a broader natural open space corridor to enhance the protection of Big Wash's hydrologic function and natural resource values while keeping the same ratio of development to open space. Open space in the southeast quadrant — in the area of the Tangerine Road and Oracle Road intersection — could be transferred into the northwest portion of Neighborhood 3 that lies between Big Wash and the current alignment of N. Vistoso Village Drive that is currently designated for Commercial/Office Park. Otherwise, existing development (including bank protection) and grading in preparation for pending development have effectively precluded any further jostling and re -arrangement of land uses within the proposed amendment area to accommodate/consolidate a broader natural open space corridor for Big Wash. Comments from the Pima County Department of Transportation: The site of the proposed general plan amendment lies wholly within the Town of Oro Valley and has no direct access onto County maintained roadways. The parcel is situated west or Oracle Road between Tangerine Road and Rancho Vistoso Boulevard. 201 N. Stone Avenue, Tucson, Arizona 85701, Telephone: 520-740-6800, Facsimile: 520-623-5411 Comments from the Pima County Regional Flood Control District: Big Wash runs along the eastern edge of the property. There is existing bank protection along the southern reaches of Big Wash adjacent to the development. The applicant proposes constructing additional bank protection north of the current improvements to minimize the flood hazards associated with Big Wash. There is a FEMA Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) that affects a portion of the property. The LOMR removed areas from special flood hazard designation due to the bank protection improvements. It should be noted that Pima County Regional Flood Control is embarking on a study to re-evaluate the hydrology along much of the Canada del Oro wash, including its tributary watercourses. The main objectives of the study will be to determine accurate discharge values for the watercourses, and then assess whether existing levees are adequate to deal with the expected discharge. It is recommended that the applicant meet and coordinate with Pima County Regional Flood Control District regarding the proposed bank protection and any hydrology studies related to the development. Several other minor washes traverse the property that should be considered in any drainage improvement for the parcel. Finally, there are also several areas of Important Riparian habitat on the parcel. These are mainly associated with several of the smaller washes on the property as well as within the channel of Big Wash. Avoidance and preservation of these areas to the maximum extent possible is recommended. Comments from the Pima County Department of Natural Resources, Parks and Recreation: Natural Resources, Parks and Recreation Department staff do not have any comments on this request. On October 11, 1 received another request from Oro Valley (OV11-06-03 Rancho Vistoso Neighborhood 5) to forward comments to the Development Coordinator by October 20. Please be informed that it would not be possible to obtain comments from the various Pima County departments to generate a report for this request in nine days. Moreover, I am not so sure that this request fulfils the 60-day review period required by the Growing SmarterAct. Unless, of course, "Rancho Vistoso Neighborhood 5" happens not to be an Oro Valley major plan amendment request. Please advise. Again, thank you for the opportunity to participate in the Town of Oro Valley's general plan amendment process for major plan amendments, and we look forward to continued participation in the future.

Wetmore Road Tucson, AZ 85705 SUBJECT: Neighborhood 5 School Site Dear Todd, SEP 0 5 2007 The Town of Oro Valley has requested a letter from Vistoso partners memorializing our agreement regarding dedication of a school site in Neighborhood 5 to Amphi School District. They have requested that the letter outline the agreements between both of us, and that both parties sign and notarize the letter so that the Town will feel comfortable that both parties have agreed. The following is an outline of our agreement as I know it from our last meeting regarding moving the school site shown in Neighborhood 5 PAD documents. 1. Vistoso Partners will relocate the 35 acre school site shown on the PAD document from its present location in Parcel I over to the Parcel R location on the PAD map. This process is being done through a PAD and General Plan Amendment within the Oro Valley zoning procedures. Please reference the attached map of Rancho Vistoso. 2. Vistoso Partners will agree to extend Arrowsmith Road from its present location north to tie into the Moore Road alignment at Rancho Vistoso Boulevard. The roadway design will incorporate design features (such as a multi -use walking path on one side) appropriate for this type of roadway. Furthermore, Arrowsmith Road will be extended in a manner to allow bi-directional access from the proposed school site (referred to as the Loop Road). 3. Vistoso Partners will install a sewer line from the connection point on Tangerine Road and Big Wash, up to the lift station at Sun City Vistoso, no sooner than five years (unless able to do so earlier) or when Amphi School District applies for a C of O. Location of the sewer line will Be along the bank protection. If there is a delay with Pima County replacing the critical link of sewer line along Tangerine Road to the identified point of connection, the condition will be revisited at such time. 4.
