The subject property is approximately 48.4 acres and is currently designated Medium Density Residential (MDR) and Open Space per the Town of Oro Valley 2005 General Plan, and High Density Residential (HDR) and Open Space per the Rancho Vistoso Planned Area Development (PAD). The purposes of this Minor General Plan and PAD Map Amendment is to request for approval a 1:1 Open Space Trade reconfiguration of both the General Plan and PAD map. The requested reconfiguration will encompass the relocation of 2.1 acres of MDR to Open Space and 2.1 acres of Open Space to MDR within the General Plan; and the relocation of 2.1 acres of HDR to Open Space and 2.1 acres of Open Space to HDR within the Rancho Vistoso PAD. The reconfigured designations will provide increased functional Open Space connectivity to the Honey Bee Wash and a more homogenous Open Space area that buffers the development from wildlife and other future development. The property owner is focused on acquiring the necessary land entitlements to make this project a reality, and looks forward to achieving an amicable response to the proposed Minor General Plan Amendment. A. Property Data Location: The property is located at the northeast corner of the intersection of the Rancho Vistoso Boulevard and Moore Road. Area of Property: —30.5 acres. Area of General Plan Amendment: 4.2 acres. Assessor Parcel Number: 219-21- 627S. Legal Description: Rancho Vistoso Neighborhood 5, Parcel F. Existing Land Uses: The property is vacant. Existing Zoning: The property is currently zoned as Rancho Vistoso PAD: High Density Residential (HDR) and Open Space. Existing Oro Valley General Plan Designations: Medium Density Residential (MDR) and Open Space Requested Oro Valley General Plan Designations: No change in designation — requesting a reconfiguration of the 2 existing designations. 19" MMB Rancho Vistoso Neigh 5, Parcel F —GP & PAD Map Amendment WLB No. 185050-MT-07 2 B. General Plan Amendment Criteria: In accordance with Section 22 of the Oro Valley Zoning Code Revised, 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 compliance with the following criteria: 1. The proposed change is necessary because conditions in the community changed to the extent that the plan requires amendment or modification. • The elimination of Moore Road as a pass through between the western and eastern halves of Rancho Vistoso Boulevard into a loop road has changed the layout of development and open space. The original map layout accommodated and mitigated for a roadway bisecting the Honey Bee Wash, and therefore provided adequate open space corridors to assist in creating palatable connectivity between the northern and southern segments anticipated to be created by the Moore Road extension. With Moore Road now serving as a loop road on the western boundary of Honey Bee Wash, it is important to promote continuous open space that would be uninterrupted by future development. The proposed reconfiguration increases the continuous open space area along the Honey Bee Wash for improved wildlife movement, and provides increased buffering between the development of Parcel 5-F and Parcels 5-G, 5-K, and 5-V. 2. The proposed change is sustainable by contributing to the socio-economic betterment of the community, while achieving community and environmental compatibility. • The development will contribute to the long-term socio-economic betterment of the community by providing convenient high quality housing for employees of Oro Valley's growing businesses. • The change would enable the development to provide a greater element of clustering, and reduce the overall development/infrastructure area. By clustering the development, a more continuous area of open space is preserved within the Parcel boundary, providing a greater buffer to the designated open space associated with the Honey Bee Wash and neighboring developments. 3. The proposed change reflects market demand which leads to viability and general community acceptance. • The Rancho Vistoso community has been an area of high demand for single family residential developers. In 2013, sales averaged over 10 units per month (source: Bright Future Real Estate Research — Oct. 2014), its highest monthly average since 2008. Real Estate websites such as Zillow and Movoto, show home prices having increased 5-7% over the last 12 months (Source: www.zillow.com — 911912014); verifying increased market demand within the area. Coupled with The Town of Oro Valley recently being ranked as one of the top 10 safest suburbs, and continually LL MB Rancho Vistoso Neigh 5, Parcel F—GP & PAD Map Amendment WLB No. 185050-MT-07 3 providing a nationally ranked education system, it is clear that increased market demand within the community will need to be addressed through future developments such as the one proposed. 4. 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 subsequent zoning and development process. • The proposed development is adjacent to designated open space. The proposed trade area concentrates the overall open space within the Parcel boundaries to be more homogenous with the adjacent open space. The proposed trade will also increase the area of open space serving as a buffer between the proposed development and future development to the northeast. A portion of the community and the community as a whole will not be adversely impacted by this Minor General Plan and PAD Map Amendment. al" Rancho Vistoso Neigh 5, Parcel F —GP & PAD Map Amendment WLB No. 185050-MT-07 4 vsPgR�77 TOWN OF ORO VALLEY DEVELOPMENT & INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES DEPARMENT 11000 N.

The original map layout accommodated and mitigated for a roadway bisecting the Honey Bee Wash, and therefore provided adequate open space corridors to assist in creating palatable connectivity between the northern and southern segments anticipated to be created by the Moore Road extension. With Moore Road now serving as a loop road on the western boundary of Honey Bee Wash, it is important to promote continuous open space that would be uninterrupted by future development. The proposed reconfiguration increases the continuous open space area along the Honey Bee Wash for improved wildlife movement, and provides increased buffering between the development of Parcel 5-F and Parcels 5-G, 5-K, and 5-V. 2. The proposed change is sustainable by contributing to the socio-economic betterment of the community, while achieving community and environmental compatibility. • The development will contribute to the long-term socio-economic betterment of the community by providing convenient high quality housing for employees of Oro Valley's growing businesses. • The change would enable the development to provide a greater element of clustering, and reduce the overall development/infrastructure area. By clustering the development, a more continuous area of open space is preserved within the Parcel boundary, providing a greater buffer to the designated open space associated with the Honey Bee Wash and neighboring developments. 3. The proposed change reflects market demand which leads to viability and general community acceptance. • The Rancho Vistoso community has been an area of high demand for single family residential developers. In 2013, sales averaged over 10 units per month (source: Bright Future Real Estate Research — Oct. 2014), its highest monthly average since 2008. Real Estate websites such as Zillow and Movoto, show home prices having increased 5-7% over the last 12 months (Source: www.zillow.com — 911912014); verifying increased market demand within the area. Coupled with The Town of Oro Valley recently being ranked as one of the top 10 safest suburbs, and continually wm Rancho Vistoso Neigh 5, Parcel F —GP & PAD Map Amendment WLB No. 185050-MT-07 3 providing a nationally ranked education system, it is clear that increased market demand within the community will need to be addressed through future developments such as the one proposed. 4. 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 subsequent zoning and development process. The proposed development is adjacent to designated open space. The proposed trade area concentrates the overall open space within the Parcel boundaries to be more homogenous with the adjacent open space. The proposed trade will also increase the area of open space serving as a buffer between the proposed development and future development to the northeast. A portion of the community and the community as a whole will not be adversely impacted by this Minor General Plan and PAD Map Amendment.
