Unfortunately, they assumed that they would have a say in any development of that area. -The present zoning, already allows for two story buildings up to 38 ft in height, with a limited footprint sq footage. -As long as any developer/builders adhere to the present zoning, the Town Council and Property Owners would have NO chance to object. In fact, development review by the Town Council would be bypassed. -Since the Self Storage project requires a Conditiona[ Use Permit, a Town Council review is necessary. -If the Leman Academy purchases any part of this property, there are minimal zoning restrictions. And in the future, Leman could build a similar wing South of the current school, thus blocking most of the mountain view. -The Property Owners must choose between two negative outcomes, the Self Storage building and Leman soccer fields (with a possible future Leman extension), or unknown future building within the current zoning. It is unfortunate, that this possibility was not presented during re -zoning years ago, when the property owners and Town Council could have planned better for this scenic area, and limited the area to single story. To my knowledge, the current plan is that the Self Storage project will proceed (addressing the local concerns), and Leman will purchase the north four acres, to use for parking and soccer fields, without any large buildings. If my understanding of the above is correct, and you could impose a limitation on Leman future building, then I would support the Self Storage project, because a known plan is safer than the unknown. And because the developers have been very accommodating to our concerns, as much as possible. Sincerely, R.

When I review the Oro Valley General Plan's Vision, Guiding Principles, Goals and Policies, i do not find the proposed project meets many of these principles. The surrounding neighborhood is largely residential. While the proposed project may provide recreational opportunities, these would be limited to the members of the church. Existing natural resources on the property would not be protected. And the larger Oro Valley community would not benefit from this project, as its use will be limited to church members. As the church doesn't pay taxes to Oro Valley, I see no benefit at all to the greater Oro Valley community from the proposed project. As for the Oro Valley Zoning Code, I'm very concerned about traffic impacts, noise, parking, and compatibility with the surrounding area. I'm particularly concerned that the proposed hours of operation would be 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. And while no special events intended to draw additional visitors to the magnitude of an organized festival, game, event, or tournament will be permitted at specific times, exceptions may be granted by the Town Engineer and Planning Director as a Special Use Permit. Additionally, the proposed facilities do not seem to fall under religious institution or accessory uses of the property under the Town's zoning code. Our neighborhood and surrounding area already have public and private facilities similar to the ones being proposed, although on a smaller scale. As it is, we receive light pollution and noise from Pusch Ridge Christian Academy and Canyon del Oro high school athletic and other events on a regular basis during the school year. Please preserve what is special about Oro Valley, namely that it offers residents the opportunity to combine access to city amenities with creating a home in our own quiet, peaceful desert oases. Please uphold the existing zoning restrictions around the Church Of the Nazarene. Please honor the town motto "It's In Our Nature." Please do not allow an increase in traffic. Please do not replace the quiet of our serene desert environment with added noise and light pollution. I do not believe that allowing this rezoning to go forward serves the needs of the wider Oro Valley community, and that is the greater population you all represent.

As Ms. Young writes below, the atmosphere of an entire section of our town cannot be willfully downgraded by complying with one single entity's wishes. It is important the Council represent all residents of our neighborhood in making its decision and, also, it should not be influenced by the Church's threat of litigation if the decision doesn't go its way. I would add the Church is acting in bad faith by posting 6:00 pm as the Public meeting time on the signs on its property when the Town of Oro Valley website clearly states the meeting is at 5:00 pm.

There is no debate whatsoever that the Church's planned athletic project is a worthy undertaking, but it is out of place in the proposed location. Such an ambitious athletic complex will certainly serve its users equally well, and probably better, in a location that is properly zoned for such purposes and has the roads in place to handle the additional traffic. Calle Concordia is already challenged with coping with the existing volume of vehicles. Is the Town of Oro Valley considering widening Calle Concordia, putting in traffic lights, developing and enforcing additional traffic control measures? I do not believe that the road expenses connected with allowing this rezoning to go forward are justified, nor do they serve the needs of the wider Oro Valley community, nor are they the best use of citizens' tax dollars. I am a year round permanent resident of Oro Valley, and I am a registered voter. I purchased my home in Oro Valley in February of 2021. I chose the Sunstone Estates location because it seemed to exemplify the town's motto "It's in Our Nature". I found an area zoned for residential use. I discovered a quiet, safe neighborhood nestled in nature, with established horse properties, and close proximity to the beautiful Arizona desert. On my long daily walks I see a variety of wildlife, I admire horses being exercised and trained, and I breathe the lovely, unpolluted desert air. I shudder to think what the planned athletic facility with all the added traffic, noise, lights, PA systems will do to the quality of life of the horses and their owners, as well as to the ambiance of the surrounding neighborhoods. I strongly urge the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council to uphold the existing regulations and requirements. Please clearly show that the rights of the individual are respected and protected in our town. Please demonstrate that the atmosphere of an entire section of our town cannot be willfully downgraded by complying with one single entity's wishes.

Our area is a residential neighborhood. There are fields for use all around Oro Valley, thank you! The town has many parks and fields for play and we provide tax money to help maintain. The fact that they say it's a ministry work is anti Christian. Their buildings have a great many rooms available at any time in the existing premises to teach others about God and Christ Jesus. I've been in their building to visit. Jesus himself taught on the streets and along the waters edge, or they can use the many public parks that are available. The opulence of money that they have taken from parishioners for the 2 homes they plan to build also is non Christian! Why can't they use the money to serve less fortunate ones on our streets. How do they think these needy non religious kids will get to their facility for games if it were built? They said they wanted a snack bar? Buy the kids candy while you read scriptures??? This is a hoax and bunch of liesl There's a Christian school in Oro Valley, Pusch View with fields. Ask to rent their facility if you truly have a need. OVNC has a huge parking lot use it for pickle ball or basketball or whatever. They must have a financial need to spend money to avoid tax. The cost of destroying our Mountain View's or the natural vegetation or destroy the sunsets with massive lights and the amount of traffic will totally devalue all property values. Truthfully, parents have a right to teach their own kids their own views on religion. When outsiders claim they want to save kids it usually turns out badly. Who will be on the look out for groomers?? Please stick to your guns and DO NOT rezone the property. Just heard of this and I've read both letters from attorneys. We plan to be there Monday night. Sincerely, Mark and Gina Dill We Live across the street from the "too tall house" that was approved years ago—built by an investment builder then he moved and it still does block views!
