object. If any new legislation, laws, ordinances, or rules affect this Agreement, this Agreement

this Agreement that is declared contrary to any current or future law, order, regulation, or rule, or
that is otherwise invalid, shall be deemed stricken without impairing the validity of the remainder
of this Agreement. In the event FEMA determines that changes are necessary to this Agreement
after it has been entered into, including changes to Period of Performance or other terms,
Subrecipient will be notified of the changes in writing; once notification is made, any subsequent
request for funds by Subrecipient will constitute Subrecipient’s acceptance of the changes and
will incorporate the changes into this Agreement. Except as expressly provided in this

arising out of bodily injury to any person (including death) or property damage, but only to the
extent such Claims which result in vicarious/derivative liability to the Indemnitee are caused by

agents, employees, or volunteers. The State of Arizona and AZDOHS are self-insured per ARS

of the State of Arizona, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. This Agreement is the
parties’ complete agreement and replaces the parties’ prior and contemporaneous agreements,
representations, and understandings pertaining to its subject matter, whether oral or written. No
course of dealings or usage of the trade supplements or explains any terms. A party’s failure to
insist on strict performance of any term is not a waiver of that term, even if the party accepting or
acquiescing in the nonconforming performance knows the nature of the performance and fails to
object. If any new legislation, laws, ordinances, or rules affect this Agreement, this Agreement
automatically incorporates the terms of such legislation, laws, ordinances, or rules. Any term of
this Agreement that is declared contrary to any current or future law, order, regulation, or rule, or
that is otherwise invalid, shall be deemed stricken without impairing the validity of the remainder
of this Agreement. In the event FEMA determines that changes are necessary to this Agreement
after it has been entered into, including changes to Period of Performance or other terms,
Subrecipient will be notified of the changes in writing; once notification is made, any subsequent
request for funds by Subrecipient will constitute Subrecipient’s acceptance of the changes and
will incorporate the changes into this Agreement. Except as expressly provided in this
Paragraph, any amendment to or extension of this Agreement may be made only in a writing
signed by authorized representatives of both parties. Any rule of construction to the effect that
ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not apply in interpreting this
Agreement.
39.Licensing Unless otherwise exempted by law, Subrecipient must obtain and maintain all
licenses, permits, and authority necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
40.Sectarian Requests Funds disbursed under this Agreement may not be used for any sectarian
purpose or activity, including worship or instruction in violation of the US or Arizona Constitutions.

arising out of bodily injury to any person (including death) or property damage, but only to the
extent such Claims which result in vicarious/derivative liability to the Indemnitee are caused by
the act, omission, negligence, misconduct, or other fault of the Indemnitor, its officers, officials,
agents, employees, or volunteers. The State of Arizona and AZDOHS are self-insured per ARS

expenses (including court costs, attorneys’ fees, and costs of claim processing,
investigation and litigation) (hereinafter referred to as “Claims”) for bodily injury or personal
injury (including death), or loss or damage to tangible or intangible property caused, or
alleged to be caused, in whole or in part, by the negligent or willful acts or omissions of the
contractor or any of the directors, officers, agents, or employees or subcontractors of such
contractor. This indemnity includes any claim or amount arising out of or recovered under
the Workers’ Compensation Law or arising out of the failure of such contractor to conform
to any Federal, State or Local law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation or court decree. It is
the specific intention of the parties that the Indemnitee shall, in all instances, except for
Claims arising solely from the negligent or willful acts or omissions of the Indemnitee, be
indemnified by such contractor from and against any and all claims. It is agreed that such
contractor will be responsible for primary loss investigation, defense and judgment costs
where this indemnification is applicable. Additionally on all applicable insurance policies,
contractor and its subcontractors shall name the State of Arizona, and its departments,
agencies, boards, commissions, universities, officers, officials, agents, and employees as
an additional insured and also include a waiver of subrogation in favor of the State.
43.Termination Each party has the right to terminate this Agreement if the other party fails to
comply with this Agreement. A party invoking the right to terminate shall provide written 30 day
advance notice of all reasons for the termination. If Subrecipient chooses to terminate this
Agreement before all deliverables have been delivered, AZDOHS has the right to recover all
reimbursements made to Subrecipient. On termination, AZDOHS may procure, on terms that it
deems appropriate, materials or services to replace those that otherwise would have been
provided by Subrecipient, and Subrecipient will be liable to AZDOHS for all excess costs incurred
by AZDOHS in procuring such materials or services. Subrecipient must continue to perform this
Agreement until the date of termination, as directed in the termination notice. If AZDOHS
reasonably believes Subrecipient does not intend to, or is unable to fully perform this Agreement,
AZDOHS may demand in writing that Subrecipient give written assurance of its intent and ability
to perform. If Subrecipient fails to provide written assurance within the time specified in the
demand, AZDOHS may terminate this Agreement.

only and do not define, limit, enlarge, or otherwise affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

duplicate originals. Each such counterpart, copy, or duplicate original shall be deemed an
original, and collectively they shall constitute one Agreement.
46.Authority to Execute This Agreement The person executing this Agreement on behalf of
Subrecipient represents and warrants that he/she is duly authorized to do so.
47.Transfer of Funds Prohibition Subrecipient may not transfer funds between programs (e.g.,

14
INSTEAD OF THE CHAIR IN DEBATE OR, IN A SINGLE
INSTANCE, FAILING TO CONFINE HIS THEIR REMARKS TO
MERITS OF THE PENDING QUESTION—THE CHAIR SIMPLY
POINTS OUT THE FAULT AND ADVISES THE MEMBER TO
AVOID IT. THE MEMBER CAN THEN CONTINUE SPEAKING IF
HE THEY COMMITS NO FURTHER BREACHES. IF THE

WHEN A MEMBER REPEATEDLY QUESTIONS THE MOTIVES
OF OTHER MEMBERS WHOM HE THEY MENTIONS BY NAME

DROPPED OR NOT AS THE ASSEMBLY CHOOSES. THE CASE
MAY BE SUFFICIENTLY RESOLVED BY AN APOLOGY OR A
WITHDRAWAL OF ALL OBJECTIONAL STATEMENTS OR
REMARKS BY THE OFFENDER. BUT IF NOT, ANY MEMBER
CAN MOVE TO ORDER A PENALTY, OR THE CHAIR CAN
FIRST ASK WHAT PENALTIES SHALL BE IMPOSED ON THE
MEMBER. A MOTION OFFERED IN A CASE OF THIS KIND CAN
PROPOSE A MEMBER BE REQUIRED TO MAKE AN
APOLOGY, THAT THE MEMBER BE CENSORED OR THAT THE
MEMBER BE REQUIRED TO LEAVE THE HALL DURING THE
REMAINDER OF THE MEETING OR UNTIL THE MEMBER IS
PREPARED TO APOLOGIZE.
IF A MEMBER DENIES HAVING SAID ANYTHING IMPROPER,
THE WORDS RECORDED BY THE CLERK CAN BE READ TO
THE MEMBER AND, IF NECESSARY, THE ASSEMBLY CAN
DECIDE BY VOTE WHETHER THE MEMBER WAS HEARD TO
SAY IT. ON THE DEMAND OF A SINGLE MEMBER, OTHER
THAN THE NAMED MEMBER WHO IS NOT CONSIDERED TO
BE A VOTING MEMBER WHILE THE MATTER IS PENDING,
THE VOTE ON IMPOSING A PENALTY MUST BE TAKEN BY
BALLOT.
THE SERGEANT AT ARMS MAY REMOVE THE MEMBER UPON
INSTRUCTION OF THE CHAIR. SUCH A STEP SHOULD ONLY

INTEREST Disclosure Memorandum (See Appendix A) and returning the form to
the Town Clerk OR DESIGNEE. That PUBLIC BODY Councilmember shall then
leave the room and shall refrain from taking any part in the discussion,

F:\Council\Parl Rules & Procedures ENROLLED Office of the Oro Valley Town Attorney/5.24.2010
21
RECUSAL RESULTS IN A LOSS OF A QUORUM, THE ITEM SHALL BE

PUBLIC BODY Councilmember who declared the conflict may return to his/her
seat when that agenda item is completed FOR THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM.

until there is a second to the motion. If a second to the motion is not made, then
the motion will die for lack of a second.
10.6 AMENDMENTS TO A MAIN MOTION

motion, the PUBLIC BODY Councilmember who made the motion
may ask that his/her motion be amended. If the PUBLIC BODY
Councilmember who seconded the main motion agrees, then the

CHAIRPERSON for a ruling and an enforcement of the rules.

This motion requires a second, is not debatable, is amendable, requires a
majority vote, and may be reconsidered.
11.5 MAIN MOTION

SECTION 12. CONFLICT OF INTEREST
12.1 INTRODUCTION
Occasionally, a PUBLIC BODY Council member may find himself/herself in a
situation which requires that PUBLIC BODY Council member to remove
himself/herself from participation in the decision making DECISION-MAKING
process and from voting on a matter before the PUBLIC BODY Council. This
situation exists when the PUBLIC BODY Council member has a “conflict of
interest” as defined by applicable laws. These laws establish minimum
standards for the conduct of PUBLIC BODY Council members who, in their
official capacity, are, or may become involved with, a decision which might
unduly affect their personal interests or those of their close relatives. Arizona law
defines those close relatives to include "spouse, child, grandchild, parent,
grandparent, brother or sister of whole or half blood and their spouses, and the
parent, brother, sister or child of a spouse."
12.2 PURPOSE OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST LAWS
The purpose of Arizona’s conflict of interest laws is to prevent self-dealing by
PUBLIC BODY Council members and other public officials. The financial interest
of PUBLIC BODY Council members must not conflict with the unbiased
performance of their public duties. One cannot serve two masters with conflicting
interests. The object of the statutes is to remove or limit any improper influence,
direct or indirect, which might bear on an official’s decision, as well as to
discourage deliberate dishonesty.
12.3 THE ARIZONA CONFLICT OF INTEREST LAW
Pursuant to ARS § 38-503:
A) Any PUBLIC BODY Council member who has, or whose close
relative has, a substantial interest in any contract, sale, purchase or
F:\Council\Parl Rules & Procedures ENROLLED Office of the Oro Valley Town Attorney/5.24.2010
25
service to the Town shall make known that interest in the official
records of the Town and shall refrain from voting upon or otherwise
participating in any manner as a PUBLIC BODY Council member in
such contract, sale or purchase.
B) Any PUBLIC BODY Council member who has, or whose (sic)
WHO’S relative has, a substantial interest in any decision of the Town
shall make known such interest in the official records of the Town and
shall refrain from participating in any manner as a PUBLIC BODY
Council member in such decision.
12.4 SUBSTANTIAL INTEREST
WHERE A PUBLIC BODY MEMBER HAS A SUBSTANTIAL INTEREST IN THE
PENDING MATTER, DISQUALIFATION IS REQUIRED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH The preceding subsection tells us that disqualification is required where a
Council member has a “substantial interest” in the pending matter. But, what is a
“substantial interest?" The law, ARS 38-503,. tells us that a “substantial interest”
is basically any financial interest of the Council member or close relative, which is
not a “remote interest." IF A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC BODY IS UNSURE
ABOUT A CONFLICT, THEY SHALL CONSULT WITH APPROPRIATE TOWN
LEGAL COUNSEL. SEE APPENDIX A FOR CONFLICT OF INTEREST
CRITERIA AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST REPORT FORM.
The Legislature has determined that certain economic interests are so remote
that they do not unduly influence a person’s decisions or actions. These “remote
interests” are discussed below. Unless the interest is one of the nine remote
interests described in the following subsection, the interest is substantial and
creates a conflict of interest.
To determine whether a substantial interest exists, a Council member should ask
the following questions:
A) Will the decision affect, either positively or negatively, an interest of
the Council member or a close relative?
B) Is the interest a pecuniary or proprietary interest, i.e. does it affect a
financial or property interest?
C) Is the interest other than one of the nine remote interests described
below?
If the answer to each of these questions is yes, then a substantial interest exists
which requires disclosure and disqualification by the PUBLIC BODY Council
member.
F:\Council\Parl Rules & Procedures ENROLLED Office of the Oro Valley Town Attorney/5.24.2010
26
Although Council members may not themselves have a substantial interest in a
decision in which they are about to participate, if one of their close relatives has a
substantial interest in the decision, the Council member must disclose the
interest and refrain from participating in the decision.
12.5 REMOTE INTERESTS (SEE APPENDIX A)
Arizona law excludes from the definition of a substantial interest certain
enumerated remote interests. Any interest in a decision or contract not falling
within the following remote interests is a substantial interest requiring withdrawal
from participation:
A) Non-Profit Corporations. If the Councilmember or their close
relative is a non-salaried officer of a nonprofit corporation, he or she
has a remote interest in any decision affecting that corporation.
B) Landlord/Tenant of a Contracting Party. If a Councilmember or
their close relative is a landlord or tenant of a party contracting with
the Town, the Councilmember has a remote interest in a decision
regarding the contract.
C) Attorney of a Contracting Party. If the Councilmember or their
close relative represents a client contracting with the Town, he/she
has a remote interest in a decision affecting the client’s contract.
For example, if the Council is considering awarding a contract to a
contractor, which is represented by an attorney, who is related to
the Councilmember, that Councilmembers interest in the awarding
of the contract is remote.
D) Nonprofit Cooperative Marketing Associations. If a Councilmember
or their close relative is a member of a nonprofit cooperative
marketing association, he/she has a remote interest in any decision
affecting that association.
E) Insignificant Stock Ownership. If a Councilmember or their close
relative owns less than three percent of the shares of a corporation
for profit, and if the income from those shares does not exceed five
percent of the person’s total annual income, he/she has a remote
interest in any decision affecting that corporation.
F) Reimbursement of Expenses. If a Councilmember or their close
relative is being reimbursed for actual and necessary expenses
incurred in the performance of official duties, he/she has a remote
interest in any decision affecting that reimbursement.
F:\Council\Parl Rules & Procedures ENROLLED Office of the Oro Valley Town Attorney/5.24.2010
27
G) Recipient of Public Services Generally Available. If the
Councilmember or their close relative is a recipient of public
services provided by the Town, and if those services are available
to the general public, the Councilmember has a remote interest in
any decision affecting those services.
H) Class Interests. If the Councilmember or their close relative is a
member of a trade, business, profession or other class of persons,
and the interest is no greater than the interest of the other members
of the class, the Councilmember has a remote interest in any
decision affecting the class. For example, if the Council was
considering a decrease in Bed Tax and a Councilmember’s son
owned a business subject to the tax, the interest is remote because
the son benefits no more or less than other owners of such a
business.
I) Interests of Other Agencies. A Councilmember may participate in a
decision that indirectly affects a close relative who is an officer or
employee of another public agency. For example, the head of the
state agency responsible for allocating funds to local governments
could participate in such decisions even though his/her spouse was
an officer or employee of the local government. If, however, the
decision confers some direct economic benefit or detriment
resulting in the termination of a spouse’s employment by the local
government, a conflict of interest is present.
12.6 RESTRICTIONS ON CONTRACTS FOR SUPPLIES OR
SERVICES
Pursuant to ARS § 38-503(C)(2), a PUBLIC BODY Councilmember, or their close
relative as described in § 12.1, may sell to the Town any supplies or equipment
valued at not more than $300 in any single transaction, or $1,000 in any one
year, except as provided for by State law and if the policy for such purchases is
approved annually.
12.7 DISCLOSURE OF INTEREST
Pursuant to ARS § 41-1346 41-151, the Town shall maintain an active system for
the management of public records so that all documents necessary to
memorialize disclosures of substantial interest are made available for public
inspection. Any PUBLIC BODY Councilmember who has a conflict of interest in
any decision must disclose that interest. The PUBLIC BODY Councilmember
shall file with the Town Clerk a signed Conflict of Interest Disclosure
Memorandum (See Appendix A) fully disclosing the interest and declaring the
existence of the conflict and the reasons at a PUBLIC BODY Council meeting.
F:\Council\Parl Rules & Procedures ENROLLED Office of the Oro Valley Town Attorney/5.24.2010
28
12.8 WITHDRAWAL FROM PARTICIPATION
PUBLIC BODY Councilmembers shall immediately and publicly declare a conflict
in matters which the PUBLIC BODY Councilmember, or whose close relative,
would have a substantial interest due to a pecuniary interest or bias. Having
disclosed the conflict of interest and withdrawn in the matter, the PUBLIC BODY
Councilmember must not communicate about the matter with anyone involved in
the decision making DECISION-MAKING process in order to avoid the
appearance of impropriety. Further, the PUBLIC BODY Councilmember should
not otherwise attempt to influence the decision and should withdraw from the
Council chambers PUBLIC MEETING ROOM while the matter is considered. If
that issue is not resolved at that meeting, that PUBLIC BODY Councilmember
shall not discuss the matter with any other PUBLIC BODY Councilmember until
the matter is finally resolved. The PUBLIC BODY Councilmember who declared
the conflict may return to their seat when that agenda item is completed.
12.9 RULE OF IMPOSSIBILITY (CONFLICT OF THE MAJORITY)
ARS § 38-508 (B) specifically permits a PUBLIC BODY Councilmember(s) to
vote in the event of an apparent conflict as provided for in ARS § 38-503 when
the failure to vote would prevent the PUBLIC BODY Council from taking action.
The PUBLIC BODY Councilmember must disclose the substantial interest in the
public records of the Town prior to voting on that issue.
12.10 IMPROPER USE OF OFFICE FOR PERSONAL GAIN
Pursuant to ARS § 38-504(C), PUBLIC BODY Councilmembers are prohibited
from using or attempting to use their official position to secure valuable things or
benefits for themselves, unless those are part of the compensation they would
normally be entitled to for performing their duties. Pursuant to ARS § 13-2602, it
is a class 4 felony for a PUBLIC BODY Councilmember to solicit, accept, or
agree to accept any benefit upon an understanding that his or her vote, opinion,
judgment, or other official action may thereby be influenced. Pursuant to ARS §
38-444, it is a class 6 felony for a PUBLIC BODY Councilmember to ask to
receive any unauthorized gratuity or reward or promise of a gratuity or reward for
doing an official act.
12.11 SANCTIONS FOR VIOLATIONS
A) Pursuant to ARS § 38-510 (A)(1), a PUBLIC BODY Councilmember
who knowingly or intentionally violates any provision of the conflict of
interest CONFLICT-OF-INTEREST law may be charged with a class 6
felony.
B) Pursuant to ARS § 38-510 (B)(A)(2), a PUBLIC BODY
Councilmember who negligently or recklessly violates the law may be
charged with a class 1 misdemeanor. This means that a person may
F:\Council\Parl Rules & Procedures ENROLLED Office of the Oro Valley Town Attorney/5.24.2010
29
be prosecuted for failure to disclose a conflict of interest, even though
that person was not aware of the conflict.
C) Pursuant to ARS § 38-510 (C)(B), upon conviction of a violation of
the conflict of interest CONFLICT-OF-INTEREST laws, a PUBLIC
BODY Councilmember forfeits the public office.
D) Pursuant to ARS § 38-511, as amended, any contract made by the
Town is subject to cancellation if anyone significantly involved in the
contract process on behalf of the Town was or is also employed by or
acted as consultant to any other party to the contract during the time
the contract or extension to the contract is in effect.
E) Any person who is affected by a Town decision made in violation of
the conflict of interest CONFLICT-OF-INTEREST laws, may sue to
have the contract or decision declared null and void. The court may
award costs and attorney’s fees to the prevailing party. Persons
claiming that a PUBLIC BODY Councilmember had a pecuniary
interest in making a decision against them may also file suit in state or
federal court alleging a violation of their civil rights. In this instance, a
PUBLIC BODY Councilmember is thought to have engaged in self-
dealing through the powers of a PUBLIC BODY Councilmember, and
by placing oneself ahead of the welfare of the Town, the PUBLIC
BODY Councilmember lies outside of his/her official capacity.
12.12 NON-STATUTORY CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Occasionally, a PUBLIC BODY Councilmember may feel that he/she should
ethically refrain from participation in a decision even though the circumstances
may not amount to a conflict of interest under the state law described above. It is
the policy of the PUBLIC BODY Council to encourage PUBLIC BODY
Councilmembers to adhere to strongly held ethical values, which are exercised in
good faith. However, participation is encouraged in the decision making
DECISION MAKING process unless the matter involves the PUBLIC BODY
Councilmembers personal conduct or a conflict of interest set forth by statute.
PUBLIC BODY Councilmembers are expected to weigh these considerations and
follow their conscience.

F:\Council\Parl Rules & Procedures ENROLLED Office of the Oro Valley Town Attorney/5.24.2010
31
ONLY A SLIGHT BREACH OF ORDER SUCH AS ADDRESSING ANOTHER
MEMBER INSTEAD OF THE CHAIR IN DEBATE OR, IN A SINGLE
INSTANCE, FAILING TO CONFINE HIS REMARKS TO MERITS OF THE
PENDING QUESTION—THE CHAIR SIMPLY POINTS OUT THE FAULT AND
ADVISES THE MEMBER TO AVOID IT. THE MEMBER CAN THEN CONTINUE
SPEAKING IF HE COMMITS NO FURTHER BREACHES. IF THE OFFENSE IS
MORE SERIOUS THAN IN THE CASE ABOVE, AS WHEN A MEMBER
REPEATEDLY QUESTIONS THE MOTIVES OF OTHER MEMBERS WHOM

IF A MEMBER DENIES HAVING SAID ANYTHING IMPROPER, THE WORDS
RECORDED BY THE CLERK CAN BE READ TO THE MEMBER AND, IF
NECESSARY, THE ASSEMBLY CAN DECIDE BY VOTE WHETHER THE
MEMBER WAS HEARD TO SAY IT. ON THE DEMAND OF A SINGLE
MEMBER, OTHER THAN THE NAMED MEMBER WHO IS NOT CONSIDERED
TO BE A VOTING MEMBER WHILE THE MATTER IS PENDING, THE VOTE
ON IMPOSING A PENALTY MUST BE TAKEN BY BALLOT.
THE SERGEANT AT ARMS MAY REMOVE THE MEMBER UPON
INSTRUCTION OF THE CHAIR. SUCH A STEP SHOULD ONLY BE TAKEN
AS A LAST RESORT AND BY A PERSON WHO REFUSES TO LEAVE UPON
REQUEST BY THE CHAIR.

APPENDIX A
CONFLICT OF INTEREST DETERMINATION AND DISCLOSURE
MEMORANDUM
The Legislature has determined that certain economic interests are so remote
that they do not unduly influence a person’s decisions or actions. These “remote
interests” are discussed below. Unless the interest is one of the nine remote
interests described in the following subsection, the interest is substantial and
creates a conflict of interest.
To determine whether a substantial interest exists, a PUBLIC BODY Council
member should ask the following questions:
A) Will the decision affect, either positively or negatively, an interest of
the PUBLIC BODY Council member or a close relative?
B) Is the interest a pecuniary or proprietary interest, i.e. does it affect a
financial or property interest OF THE PUBLIC BODY MEMBER OR
CLOSE RELATIVE?
C) Is the interest other than one of the nine remote interests described
below?
If the answer to each of these questions is yes, then a substantial interest exists
which requires disclosure and disqualification by the PUBLIC BODY Council
member.
Although PUBLIC BODY Council members may not themselves have a
substantial interest in a decision in which they are about to participate, if one of
their close relatives has a substantial interest in the decision, the PUBLIC BODY
Council member must disclose the interest and refrain from participating in the
decision.
Arizona law excludes from the definition of a substantial interest certain
enumerated remote interests. Any interest in a decision or contract not falling
within the following remote interests is a substantial interest requiring withdrawal
from participation:
D) Non-Profit Corporations. If the PUBLIC BODY Councilmember or
their close relative is a non-salaried officer of a nonprofit
corporation, he or she has a remote interest in any decision
affecting that corporation.
E) Landlord/Tenant of a Contracting Party. If a PUBLIC BODY
Councilmember or their close relative is a landlord or tenant of a
F:\Council\Parl Rules & Procedures ENROLLED Office of the Oro Valley Town Attorney/5.24.2010
34
party contracting with the Town, the PUBLIC BODY
Councilmember has a remote interest in a decision regarding the
contract.
F) Attorney of a Contracting Party. If the PUBLIC BODY
Councilmember or their close relative represents a client
contracting with the Town, he/she has a remote interest in a
decision affecting the client’s contract. For example, if the PUBLIC
BODY Council is considering awarding a contract to a contractor,
which is represented by an attorney, who is related to the PUBLIC
BODY Councilmember, that PUBLIC BODY Councilmembers
interest in the awarding of the contract is remote.
G) Nonprofit Cooperative Marketing Associations. If a PUBLIC BODY
Councilmember or their close relative is a member of a nonprofit
cooperative marketing association, he/she has a remote interest in
any decision affecting that association.
H) Insignificant Stock Ownership. If a PUBLIC BODY Councilmember
or their close relative owns less than three percent of the shares of
a corporation for profit, and if the income from those shares does
not exceed five percent of the person’s total annual income, he/she
has a remote interest in any decision affecting that corporation.
I) Reimbursement of Expenses. If a PUBLIC BODY Councilmember
or their close relative is being reimbursed for actual and necessary
expenses incurred in the performance of official duties, he/she has
a remote interest in any decision affecting that reimbursement.
J) Recipient of Public Services Generally Available. If the PUBLIC
BODY Councilmember or their close relative is a recipient of public
services provided by the Town, and if those services are available
to the general public, the PUBLIC BODY Councilmember has a
remote interest in any decision affecting those services.
K) Class Interests. If the PUBLIC BODY Councilmember or their close
relative is a member of a trade, business, profession or other class
of persons, and the interest is no greater than the interest of the
other members of the class, the PUBLIC BODY Councilmember
has a remote interest in any decision affecting the class. For
example, if the PUBLIC BODY Council was considering a decrease
in Bed Tax and a PUBLIC BODY Councilmember’s son owned a
business subject to the tax, the interest is remote because the son
benefits no more or less than other owners of such a business.
F:\Council\Parl Rules & Procedures ENROLLED Office of the Oro Valley Town Attorney/5.24.2010
35
L) Interests of Other Agencies. A PUBLIC BODY Councilmember
may participate in a decision that indirectly affects a close relative
who is an officer or employee of another public agency. For
example, the head of the state agency responsible for allocating
funds to local governments could participate in such decisions even
though his/her spouse was an officer or employee of the local
government. If, however, the decision confers some direct
economic benefit or detriment resulting in the termination of a
spouse’s employment by the local government, a conflict of interest
is present.
IN THE EVENT THE PUBLIC BODY MEMBER HAS DETERMINED THEY
HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST, THE PUBLIC BODY MEMBER SHALL
COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING FORM AND SUBMIT IT TO THE TOWN CLERK
PRIOR TO THE MEETING WHERE THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST ITEM IS TO
BE CONSIDERED.

APPOINTMENT PROCESS
OF TOWN OF ORO VALLEY VOLUNTEERS
TO
BOARDS, COMMISSIONS, COMMITTEES
ADVISORY BOARDS AND TASK FORCES
In accordance with Oro Valley Town Code Section 2-4-8, the Mayor and Council
may create any Town Board, Commission, Committee, Advisory Boards, or Task
Force (“Board”), standing or special, as it deems necessary. Therefore, the
process surrounding appointments to a Board should be streamlined in order to
facilitate an efficient and courteous appointment as follows:
Advertising: Post calls for applicants at Town hall, in the local newspaper, on
the Town web page, and other appropriate electronic formats, including Town-
sanctioned social media.
Application: Volunteers must complete an application to be considered for
appointment to a Board, which is submitted to the Town Clerk. If the volunteer is
not selected, the application remains in a database for 2 years, which is reviewed
when any vacancies occur depending upon interest of the volunteer as stated in
the application. Those members wanting to be considered for reappointment
must send a letter to the staff representative indicating their interest in
reappointment and include any information that would supplement their
application which is on file with the Town Clerk.
Interview Committee: Following an interview of volunteer applications, the
interview committee makes a determination, and then forwards their
recommendation for appointment/reappointment to the Board before the Mayor &
Council for determination at a regular Town Council meeting. The Interview
Committee Panel consists of Council Liaison, Board Chair (or Vice-Chair if term
of the Chair is due to expire), and Department Director (or Division Manager)
responsible for staff support to that particular Board.
Notification:
New Volunteer Recommended for Appointment: Prospective appointment is
forwarded a copy of the Council Communication naming those volunteers
recommended for appointment along with a personal letter notifying the
prospective appointee of the Council meeting date at which they shall be
recommended for appointment.
New Volunteer Not Recommended for Appointment: The volunteer not chosen
for appointment is forwarded the Council Communication naming those
F:\Council\Parl Rules & Procedures ENROLLED Office of the Oro Valley Town Attorney/5.24.2010
38
volunteers recommended for appointment along with an explanation that their
volunteer application will be kept on file for 2 years.
Current Volunteer Not Recommended for Reappointment: The volunteer not
recommended for reappointment is forwarded the Council Communication
naming those volunteers recommended for appointment along with notification
from the Council Liaison sitting on the Interview Committee explaining the

applicable), and the volunteer shall continue service until reappointed or
replaced. Upon successful completion of a term, the volunteer may be
considered for reappointment without a formal interview with the interview
committee panel. If the volunteer does not wish to be considered for
reappointment, the position becomes open to other applicants.
Term Limits: No volunteer shall serve more than 2 consecutive terms, either 2-
year terms (4 consecutive years maximum) or 3-year terms (6 consecutive years
maximum) depending upon the board. Once a volunteer has completed the

APPENDIX “C”
CONSIDERATIONS FOR SERVICE ON TOWN OF ORO VALLEY BOARDS,
COMMISSIONS, COMMITTEES AND OTHER VOLUNTEER PUBLIC BODIES
Introduction: Members of Town boards, commissions, committees and other
volunteer public bodies (“appointed public bodies”) are appointed by the Town
Council. Council Members are the constituents of the members of the various
appointed public bodies in that such members have been authorized to act as the
agents of the Council for the limited purposes relating to each such appointed
public body. With the exception of the members of the Board of Adjustment,
these members serve at the pleasure of the Council. Board of Adjustment
members are appointed for two-year terms, and may be removed by Council for
“neglect of duty, inefficiency, or misconduct in office.” OVZCR 21.6.D.
1. The general purpose of the appointed public bodies is to serve the
interests of the Town, as a whole, in accordance with the overall direction
established by the Council. It is expected that appointed members will act
consistently with this general principle. Each appointee is also expected to act
within the scope of his or her authority, and act consistently with the Town
Codes, ordinances, resolutions, policies and procedures and applicable federal
and state law including specifically the Open Meeting Law, Public Records Law
and the laws concerning conflicts of interest and financial disclosure.
2. Certain boards, commissions, committees and other volunteer public
bodies primarily advise the Council concerning general matters of interest to the
community at large. An example of this type of appointed public body is the
Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. Other boards, commissions, committees
and other volunteer public bodies regularly handle contested cases. A
“contested case” is a matter or proceeding before a Town board, commission or
boards, commissions, committees and other volunteer public bodies in which
legal interests, rights, duties or privileges of one or more specific parties are
addressed by a decision or recommendation of that appointed public body. An
example of this is the Planning and Zoning Commission. In certain instances
appointed public bodies are part of the Town proceedings for the establishment
or setting rates and fees. Appointees involved in contested cases or participating
in rate or fee setting proceedings, in particular, are expected to act in careful
regard of their responsibilities and these guidelines.
3. It is expected that an appointee will avoid the appearance of partiality or
unfairness as a decision-maker in any matter before the public body of which he
or she is a member. Among the actions that may assist an appointee in avoiding
the appearance of partiality or unfairness are:
• Treating all public participants with the same degree of politeness and
formality before and during a meeting, including breaks, to avoid the
impression that some participants may expect special treatment.
F:\Council\Parl Rules & Procedures ENROLLED Office of the Oro Valley Town Attorney/5.24.2010
41
• Not meeting with a party or a particular side concerning a “contested case”
outside of the meeting of the public body to avoid the impression that
certain parties have the privilege of special access to promote their
particular interests before the public body. Generally, public meetings are
the proper venue for members of a public body to gather information upon
which to base a decision.
• Waiting until all the facts are presented to the appointed public body
before passing public judgment as an individual member. The official
record upon which a decision or recommendation may appropriately be
based is the record of public proceedings, not simply one’s personal back-
ground knowledge.
• An appointee removing himself or herself from any particular proceeding
of the appointed public body relating to a matter in which the appearance
of impartiality and fairness has been compromised by activities and/or
public statements of the appointee.
4. It is expected that an appointee who disagrees with fellow public officials,
decisions of the Town Council, Town administration, the decisions of his or her
own public body or the decisions of other boards, commissions, committees and
other volunteer public bodies will do so constructively, based on facts, consistent
with applicable law, and avoiding personal attacks, misleading statements or
unsupported accusations.
5. It is expected that an appointee will respect the proceedings of other
appointed public bodies by:
• Addressing members and staff during the meeting through the person who
is chairing the meeting, avoiding the use of first names.
• First identifying whether he or she is appearing as a private citizen or is
appearing officially on behalf of the public body of which he or she is a
member.
• Avoiding lecturing members of a sister board, commission, committee or
other volunteer public body on their responsibilities and authority as
members of that public body.
• Not disrupting the proceedings of another public body by approaching the
dais or staff desk area while the public body is in session, unless invited to
do so by the person chairing the meeting.
• First raising any questions or concerns about the decisions or proceedings
of another public body with staff or the chairperson.
6. It is expected that an appointee will be considerate of the fact that the
elected Council Members are ultimately responsible for setting Town policy and
directing its implementation. An appointee may be opposed to a course of action
or decision by Council, or implementation of the same, and still continue to serve
as a member of his or her public body. In the event, however, that an appointee
wishes to actively and publicly oppose a course of action or decision by Council,
or the implementation of the same, then it is expected that the appointee will
F:\Council\Parl Rules & Procedures ENROLLED Office of the Oro Valley Town Attorney/5.24.2010

resign rather than act in public opposition to the administration he or she has
been appointed to serve.

Requested by: Bayer Vella, Community and Economic Development
Submitted By:Michael Spaeth, Community and Economic Development
Case Number:2202942
SUBJECT:
PUBLIC HEARING: DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING A PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO A
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR CALIBER COLLISION, LOCATED WITHIN THE MERCADO DEL RIO
COMMERCIAL CENTER NORTH OF PUSCH VIEW LANE, APPROXIMATELY 1/4-MILE WEST OF ORACLE
ROAD
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval, subject to the conditions listed in Attachment 1.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The purpose of this item is to consider a proposed
amendment to an existing Conditional Use Permit
(CUP) for Caliber Collision, located in the Mercado del
Rio commercial center north of Pusch View Lane,
approximately 1/4-mile west of Oracle Road (shown in
yellow at right).
The applicant is requesting an amendment to the
existing CUP to "store all vehicles awaiting repair
within the screened-in storage yard depicted on the
associated CUP site plan". The applicants' revised site
plan includes the following:
Expansion of storage space for vehicles awaiting repair (36 per existing site plan to 78 proposed)
An 8-foot screen wall surrounding the property to screen vehicles
Enhanced landscaping to fill existing gaps and create a continuous tree canopy on exterior of screen wall
Gates to restrict access and enhance security
The request is in response to a prior zoning violation related to outdoor storage of vehicles and employee parking
on the subject and nearby properties and adjacent private streets. The applicant has been working with staff to
remedy the issue and has signed a Code Compliance Agreement (Attachment 3). As part of this agreement, the
applicant has reduced the number of vehicles parked on the neighboring property and within the streets adjacent
to their buildings, two significant steps to address the issue.
At this point, the remaining issue is the capacity for employee parking as there remain too many vehicles awaiting
repair for the site to accommodate. The proposed amendment to the existing CUP and the associated site plan
revisions are the final, long-term solution to achieve code compliance by providing ample storage space and
employee parking.
The Zoning Code establishes specific criteria for the evaluation of Conditional Use Permit applications as they
typically generate more impacts on neighbors and surrounding properties. The extra level of review is necessary
to ensure the use is a proper fit and all potential impacts are mitigated. The request, with the conditions listed in
Attachment 1, is consistent with these criteria. Additional detail on the requests' conformance is provided in the
Background and Detailed Information section of this report.
Staff supports the applicant's request for the following reasons:
The request has little to no impact on surrounding properties as the site is:
Largely hidden behind the rear of businesses to the east, such as Target, Planet Fitness and Leslie's
Pool supplies.
Fully screened from the CDO multi-use path with a combination of heightened screen wall and an
enhanced landscape buffer
Obscured from view of existing and future development in the Mercado del Rio commercial center
and primary roads within the area
1.
It meets a small business need as current storage is insufficient2.
The Planning and Zoning Commission considered the applicant's request at a public hearing in March and
recommended conditional approval of the applicant's request, subject to the conditions listed in Attachment 1.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
The subject property is approximately 1.24 acres in size and is located on Lot 11 of the Mercado del Rio
commercial center.
Prior approvals
1996: Site rezoned from R1-144 to C-2 as part of larger Mercado del Rio commercial center
2004: Master Development Plan approved
2008: Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for Car Wash approved with the following conditions:
No outdoor storage of vehicles is permitted within the parking lot area. All vehicles must be stored
within the designated vehicular bays after hours
All auto body repair and spraying related activities must be limited to inside the designated spraying
booths or internal building areas
2014: Revised CUP for Caliber Collision expansion into previous car
wash approved
Site history
Caliber expanded to the subject property in 2014 as they had outgrown the
original building on Lot 11 immediately south. As part of the CUP for the
expansion, limitations were put on outdoor storage of vehicles with the
following condition:
No outdoor storage of vehicles is permitted within the parking lot
area. All vehicles must be stored within the designated vehicular
bays after hours
Due to overwhelming demand and a backlog of vehicles awaiting repair,
Caliber began storing the overflow on adjacent lots and roadways, leading
to a zoning violation. The proposed amendment and associated site plan
changes are in response to this prior violation.
The applicant has been working with staff and the Mercado del Rio
community association to remedy the issue. A Code Compliance
Agreement (Attachment 3) has been signed by Caliber Collision who has
started implementing the following changes to achieve code compliance:
Reducing the number of vehicles parked in adjacent streets.1.
Only allowing employee vehicles on adjacent properties during business hours and no vehicles after
business hours. As of Monday, February 27, 2023, it appeared only employee vehicles were parked on the
adjacent property. There remains insufficient space to accommodate both employee vehicles and those
awaiting repair. Please note, the community association has since updated their rules and has prohibited
"parking on Lots 14 and 15 [part of the subject property for the adjacent CUP request (Mercado del Rio
self-storage)]."
2.
Applicant's request
The applicant's revised site plan (shown at right and in Attachment 2) includes:
Forty-two (42) new parking spaces to accommodate vehicles awaiting service
Screenwall (8 feet) surrounding the entire property
Enhanced landscaping to fill existing gaps in the landscape buffer yard
Gates to restrict access
The amended CUP and associated site plan changes are part of the long-term resolution to achieve code
compliance for both vehicles awaiting repair and employee parking. Conditions have been included in Attachment
1 required building permits and construction be completed with specific time frames should the CUP be approved.
With the proposed changes and the conditions listed in Attachment 1, the property will be code compliant.
Conditional Use Permits (CUP) are reviewed for conformance with specific criteria in the Zoning Code as an
extra layer of review is necessary as these types of uses have the potential to have additional impacts on
neighboring properties.
The criteria are included in italics below, followed by applicant response and staff commentary.
1. That the granting of such conditional use permit will not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare. In arriving at this determination, the factors which shall be considered shall include the following:
A. Damage or nuisance arising from noise, smoke, odor, dust, vibration or illumination.
Applicant:
Noise: The type of facility proposed shall be limited to vehicles' body "prep" work and an employee break
room. The proposed vehicle repairs in this facility shall be limited to items such as BONDO, hood
replacement, fender repair, hail damage, light interior, molding and windshield replacement. Inherently,
these types of repairs are not loud enough to project recognizable sound beyond the proposed property
lines. Furthermore, this facility shall operate with all exterior doors closed. The shop contains a full HVAC
system that shall provide climate control year-round. With all doors closed, there should be no nuisance to
neighboring properties in the way of noise.
Smoke: There shall be no operations on the premises that would generate smoke. All vehicle repairs
performed on-site shall be limited to "Body" work. No mechanical work shall be performed (I.e. muffler,
drive-shafts, engine seal replacement, etc.) The tools used for the services in this environment do not
generate smoke. In the event of a fire, the facility is equipped with fire alarm and wet-pipe fire sprinkler
system. In addition, fire extinguishers are placed throughout the facility with placard notification and easy
access - in accordance with local fire code.
Dust: Within the facility, light dust from BONDO application/sanding is to be expected. The amount of dust
akin to a classroom chalkboard. At the end of each shift, any floor space that has generated BONDO dust is
broom and vacuum cleaned. This would be the primary cause for any "interior dust". With the exterior doors
shut during working hours, none of this dust would depart the building. Exterior - the only dust that would
be on this facility would be that which blew in from adjacent properties. This facility has adequate paving,
perimeter landscaping and solid block walls. Nothing that occurs on this site generates dust. Any dust that
enters the site would likely attach to perimeter landscaping and not pass through the adjacent properties.
Vibration: No service that are performed on this site are known to generate vibration that would be
detectable. Nonetheless, if any vehicle or machine were to enter the site that created vibration, it would be
removed and taken to a remote facility which could perform the necessary repairs.
Illumination: The existing site lighting poles generate subtle down-lighting. The operator is not requesting
additional exterior lighting. All interior lighting shall remain virtually undetected to adjacent properties.
Furthermore, the hours of operation: 7:30am-5:30pm should deter any requirement to illuminate the
premises during dark-sky timeframes. In the event that lights were inadvertently left on overnight, the
employment of perimeter screening walls, mature vegetation and down-lighting would prevent any spillover
onto adjacent land.
Staff : The applicant's proposed site changes are not expected to generate any hazards from noise, smoke, dust
or vibration. Any exterior light changes will be required to meet the approved Mercado del Rio Lighting Plan and
all applicable Zoning Code illumination requirements.
The request is consistent with this criterion.
B. Hazard to persons and property from possible explosion, contamination, fire or flood.
Applicant: As a multi-state/multi-operator of Body shops, Caliber Collision is well versed in the procedures and
requirements to divert any operational hazards. Any hazardous material shall be documented, handled and/or
stored per local, state and federal requirements. The proposed facility (site and building) will be designed by
licensed Architects/Engineers who are thoroughly versed in Body Shop designs. Final interior designs shall be
designed by same Architects/Engineers. Interior lighting, HVAC ventilation, and Store Sewer oil/sand interceptors
shall be properly placed to facilitate safe conditions within and outside the entire property. These designs shall
receive Town of Oro Valley Plans Review/Permit approval to ensure structural, life safety, ADA and Building Code
compliance for the proposed operations. Furthermore, the operator implements specific operational and safety
guidelines that secure ongoing daily assurance of employee, customer, property, and surrounding area safety.
Operations are not expected to create hazards from explosion, fire, flood, or contamination.
Staff : The daily operations within the facility will remain consistent with those being conducted today. There are
not expected to be any increased risks of hazard from explosion, contamination, fire or flood. The business will
continue to be required to meet all local, state and federal codes.
The request is consistent with this criterion.
C. Unusual volume or character of traffic.
Applicant: The addition of the parking and fencing will contribute to better screening and storage capabilities for
cars awaiting repair. Services offered in the facility remain the same and shall, in no way, negatively affect volume
or character of traffic. There will be no vehicles stored in adjacent PAAL's or nearby lots.
Staff : Currently, the facility has more vehicles awaiting repairs than the site can accommodate and had a prior
zoning violation related to this issue that staff and the applicant have been working to address. The applicant
signed a "Code Compliance Agreement" (Attachment 3) to address the parking both short and long-term. This
amendment and associated site design changes, are part of the "long-term" solution to address the parking
situation. The capacity to handle vehicles awaiting repair will more than double and will now allow storage behind
a screened storage area, away from public view. Conditions have been included in Attachment 1 to ensure all
future vehicles, employee parking and vehicles awaiting repair, are stored on-site.
With the conditions listed in Attachment 1, the request is consistent with this criterion.
2. That the characteristics of the proposed use are reasonably compatible with the types of uses permitted in the
surrounding area and sufficient mitigation measures are employed to minimize impact on adjoining properties.
Applicant: In accordance with the active CCR's that govern Mercado del Rio, this Lot (Lot 11) falls within the
Development Plan's permitted use for Automotive Services. As the facility was previously constructed, no site or
building activities area visible to Pusch View Lane, nor to any other premises within the development. All vehicles
entering the site will be immediately screened from ancillary view via a 7' high solid masonry wall with additional
landscaping.
Staff : The use of the property as an extension of the existing business is not going to change as part the
applicants request. The automotive use is adjacent to other automotive uses to the south and retail/office uses
(proposed to be a self and RV storage facility as part of another application) to the west. Continuing to use the
site as an automotive use is compatible with surrounding properties.
Staff supports the applicant's request for the following reasons:
The request has little to no impact on surrounding properties as the site is:
Largely hidden behind rear of businesses to the east like, Target, Planet Fitness and Leslie's Pool
supplies.
Fully screened from the CDO multi-use path with a combination of heightened screen wall and an
enhanced landscape buffer
Obscured from view from existing and future development in the Mercado del Rio commercial center
and primary roads within the area
1.
Meets a small business need as current storage is insufficient2.
Furthermore, the use of adjacent properties for overflow parking will be prohibited on March 1, 2023. With the
expanded capacity to accommodate vehicles on-site, and the restrictions in Attachment 1 relative to overflow
parking, the site will be more compatible with the area and achieve code compliance.
The request is consistent with this criterion.
3. That the proposed use is consistent with the goals and policies of the general plan.
Applicant: This facility will serve as the single-most compatible site with the types of uses permitted in the
surrounding area. This facility will act as an extension of the existing Caliber Collision. As such, it will promote
further success of an existing business, re-occupancy of an existing vacant facility, provide expanded job growth
and assurance of good custodial care. With the proposed expansion/screening, the property will provide adequate
parking spaces for the facility thus, preventing overspill. The masonry wall will provide added security and an
attractive barrier to screen the vehicles that are taken in for repair from public view.
Staff : The applicant's proposal is intended to make the use of the site more compatible with neighboring
properties. The screened storage yard will reduce existing visual impacts and provide more storage space in the
future to alleviate all parking issues.
The request is consistent with this criterion.
4. That the hours of operation of the proposed use will not adversely impact neighboring properties.
Applicant: The hours of operation will be 7:30am - 5:30pm as it is today.
Staff : The hours of operation will remain the same and will not have an increased impact on the existing center or
adjacent businesses.
The request is consistent with this criterion.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
The Planning and Zoning Commission considered the applicant's request at a public hearing in March. The
discussion focused on the need to address existing parking issues within the center and the applicant's efforts to
ensure future vehicle storage will be screened from view. The Commission recommends conditional approval of
the applicant's request, subject to the conditions listed in Attachment 1.

RE: Caliber Collision 625 East Vuelta Caminata del Rio, Oro Valley, AZ 85737
Amendment to Approved CUP
DATE: January 8, 2023
______________________________________________________________________________
This letter serves to accompany the application for the Amendment of the originally approved Conditional
Use Permit (CUP).
Project Summary:
Site consists of platted 1.24-acres of developed land. The existing facility consist of an existing stucco
building (with drive-through canopies) and currently operates as an auxiliary facility to the existing Caliber
Collision full service automotive body and paint shop that sits immediately to the South of the subject
property. We are proposing to expand the existing parking lot to provide additional spaces for vehicles
received for repair while maintaining required bufferyards. In addition, a new screen wall will be installed to
help screen stored vehicles. Under this scope of work, the landscaping along the North & East of the property
and portions of the existing walk/islands will be eliminated to allow for more parking space, new
cantilevered ornamental sliding gates will be installed at the South entrance and West driveway, and existing
canopy at the North of the building will be demoed.
It is the intent of the owner and all consultants to construct a quality project within the standards set by the
Town of Oro Valley for Building and Engineering Design.
Changes to the Originally approved CUP:
1.) Permission to allow outdoor vehicle storage provided an opaque masonry wall will be installed to a
height that will fully screen the stored vehicles from surrounding properties as depicted in the
enclosed renderings.
2.) Expansion/reconfiguration of existing parking lot
3.) Modify and enhance existing landscaping
Site Improvements shall include:
1.) Installation of Masonry fence to screen the outdoor vehicle storage
2.) Installation of cantilevered ornamental sliding gates
3.) Demo existing Canopy located at the North of the building
4.) Removal of portions of existing walk/island, landscape areas at the south and East to allow for the
expansion of the parking lot while maintaining required landscape bufferyards.
5.) Enhance Landscaping per the proposed landscape plan

NARRATIVE ADDRESSING THE CUP CRITERIA IN SECTION 22.5
Use Permits, which may be revocable, conditional or valid for a term period, may be granted only when
expressly permitted by this Code and only after the Planning and Zoning Commission has made a
recommendation and the Town Council has found in writing as follows:
1.That the granting of such conditional use permit will not be materially detrimental to the public health,
safety, or welfare. In arriving at this determination, the factors which shall be considered shall include the
following:
a. Damage or nuisance arising from noise, smoke, odor, dust, vibration or illumination;
Justification:
• Noise – The type of facility proposed shall be limited to vehicle body “prep” work and an employee break
room. The proposed vehicle repairs in this facility shall be limited to items such as BONDO, hood
replacement, fender repair, hail damage, light interior, molding and windshield replacement. Inherently,
these types of repairs are not loud enough to project recognizable sound beyond the proposed property lines.
Furthermore, this facility shall operate with all exterior doors closed. The shop contains a full HVAC System
that shall provide climate control year-round. With all doors closed, there should be no nuisance to
neighboring properties in the way of noise.
• Smoke – There shall be no operations on the premises that would generate smoke. All vehicle repairs
performed on-site shall be limited to “Body” work. No mechanical work shall be performed (i.e., muffler,
drive-shaft, engine seal replacement, etc.). The tools used for the services in this environment do not
generate smoke. In the event of a fire, the facility is equipped with fire alarm and wet-pipe fire sprinkler
system. In addition, fire extinguishers are placed throughout the facility with placard notification and easy
access (in accordance with local Fire Code).
• Dust – Within the facility, light dust from BONDO application/sanding is to be expected. The amount of
dust is akin to a classroom chalkboard. At the end of each shift, any floor space that has generated BONDO
dust is broom and vacuum cleaned. This would be the primary cause for any ‘interior dust’. With the exterior
doors being shut during working hours, none of this dust would depart the building. Exterior – the only dust
that would be on this facility would be that which blew in from adjacent properties. This facility has
adequate paving, perimeter landscaping and solid block walls. Nothing that occurs on this site generates
dust. Any dust that enters the site would likely attach to perimeter landscaping and not pass through to the
adjacent properties.
• Vibration – No service that are performed on this site are known to generate vibration that would be
detectible. Nonetheless, if any vehicle or machine were to enter the site that created a vibration, it would be
removed and taken to a remote facility which could perform the necessary repairs.
• Illumination – The existing Site Lighting Poles generate subtle down-lighting. The operator is not
requesting additional exterior lighting. All interior lighting shall remain virtually undetected to adjacent
properties. Furthermore, the hours of operation: 7:30 am – 5:30 p.m. should deter any requirement to
illuminate the premises during dark-sky timeframes. In the event that lights were inadvertently left on over-
night, the employment of perimeter screening walls, mature vegetation and down-lighting would prevent any
spillover onto adjacent land.
b. Hazard to persons and property from possible explosion, contamination, fire or flood;
Justification: As a multi-state/multi-operator of Body Shops, Caliber Collision is well versed in the
procedures and requirements to divert any operational hazards. Any hazardous material shall be
documented, handled and/or stored per local, state and federal requirements. The proposed facility (site and
building) will be designed by licensed Architects/Engineers who are thoroughly versed in Body Shop

1913 Garden Grove Court ▪ Plano, Texas 75075 ▪ 972.467.9749
4
Designs. Final interior designs shall be designed by same Architects/Engineers. Interior Lighting, HVAC
Ventilation, and Storm Sewer oil/sand interceptors shall be properly placed to facility safe conditions within
and outside the entire property. These designs shall receive Town of Oro Valley a Plans Review/Permit
Approval to ensure structural, life safety, ADA and Building Code compliance for the proposed operations.
Furthermore, the operator implements specific operational and safety guidelines that secure on-going daily
assurance of employee, customer, property and surrounding area safety. Operations are not expected to
create hazards from explosion, fire, flood, or contamination.
c. Unusual volume or character of traffic.
Justification: The addition of the parking and fencing will contribute to a better screening and storage
capabilities for cars awaiting repair. Services offered in the facility remains the same and shall, in no way,
negatively affect volume and character of traffic. There will be no vehicles stored in adjacent PAAL’s or
nearby lots.
2.That the characteristics of the proposed use are reasonably compatible with the types of use permitted in
the surrounding area and sufficient mitigation measures are employed to minimize impact on adjoining
properties.
Justification: In accordance with the active CCR’s that govern Mercado Del Rio, this Lot (Lot 11) falls
within the Development Plan’s permitted use for Automotive Services. As the facility was previously
constructed, no site or building activities are visible to Pusch View Lane, nor to any other premises within
the development. All vehicles entering the site will be immediately screened from ancillary view via 7’ high
solid masonry wall with additional landscaping
3.That the proposed use is consistent with the goals and policies of the general plan.
Justification: Applicant suggests that this facility will serve as the single-most compatible site with the types
of uses permitted in the surrounding area. This facility will act as an extension of the existing Caliber
Collision. As such, it will promote further success of an existing business, re-occupancy of an existing vacant
facility, provide expanded job growth and assurance of good custodial care. With the proposed
expansion/screening, the property will provide adequate parking spaces for the facility thus, preventing
overspill. The masonry wall will provide added security and an attractive barrier to screen the vehicles that
are taken in for repair from public view.
4.That the hours of operation of the proposed use will not adversely impact neighboring properties.
Justification: The Hours of operation is from 7:30am to 5:30pm Monday – Friday as it is today

RE.: Project Narrative – Conditional Use Permit
Caliber Collision 625 East Vuelta Caminata del Rio, Oro Valley, AZ 85737
DATE: October 27, 2014
Please allow this Project Narrative to address the specific 2.0 Plan Content directives in the Oro
Valley Zoning Conditional Use Permit application.
I. PROJECT NARRATIVE:
a. Details about the type of proposed operation (including hours of operation)
The existing site/facility consist of an existing stucco building (with drive-through
canopies), landscaping, site-lighting and paving improvements. This facility was
previously operated as a Full-Service Car Wash facility and now sits vacant. The intent
of this project shall be to remove the Car-Wash equipment and perform interior
remodel so that the space may be used for Automotive Repairs . Under this scope of
work, the shop will utilized as an auxiliary facility to the existing Caliber Collision full
service Automotive Body and Paint Shop that sits immediately to the South of the
subject property. Whereas, Caliber Collision will conduct vehicle repairs that do not
require utilization of Paint-Booth. The Paint-Booth in their existing/adjacent facility will
remain as their sole facility for those purposes.
For future consideration, Caliber would like to reserve the right to wash vehicles within
the interior of the facility under review. So that the City may confirm that code
compliance will be met, a Future Car Wash Bay/Bid-Alternate design detail will be
provided in the Permit Submittal Drawings. The design will show that use of the existing
drive-through Automatic Car-Wash plumbing (i.e., oil-water separator) and floor drains
can be easily converted into an interior hand-wash stall. The design will confirm that

water-flow/drainage calculations, proper construction techniques and materials more
than satisfy all associated local, state and federal design guidelines. Further comments
on property and personal safeguards are included within the Section 2.1.D of
Conditional Use Permit Application section of this narrative.
This shop will be operated/managed by Caliber Collision. This will be an auxiliary facility
to their existing/neighbor building. The hours of operation shall coincide with the
existing facility: Monday – Friday 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

This intent of this project is primarily an interior remodel. The amount of Site
Improvements required is proposed to be maintenance of the existing facilities. The
following notes provide the full Scope of Work intended:
This site was constructed and equipped as a full-service commercial automatic car wash
facility. It includes interior wash tunnels and exterior vacuum stations (under drive
through canopies). The site includes full landscaping, solid masonry perimeter screen
wall, screened dumpster pad, drive lanes, parking, site lighting and handicapped
accessibility into the building. The building is a 28’8” tall two story stucco building with

II. Section 2.1.D of Conditional Use Permit Application.
The granting of such CUP will not be materially detrimental to the public health,
safety, or welfare. In arriving at this determination, the factors which shall be
considered shall include the following:
i. Damage or nuisance arising from noise, smoke, odor, dust, vibration or
illumination.
Noise – The type of facility proposed shall be limited to vehicle body “prep” work
and an employee break room. The proposed vehicle repairs in this facility shal l be
limited items such as BONDO, hood replacement, fender repair, hail damage, light
interior, molding and windshield replacement. Inherently, these types of repairs are
not loud enough to project recognizable sound beyond the proposed property lines.
Furthermore, this facility shall operate with all exterior doors closed. The shop
contains a full HVAC System that shall provide climate control year-round. With all
doors closed, there should be no nuisance to neighboring properties in the way of
noise.
Page 6 of 14
Smoke – There shall be no operations on the premises that would generate smoke.
All vehicle repairs performed on-site shall be limited to “Body” work. No mechanical
work shall be performed (i.e., muffler, drive-shaft, engine seal replacement, etc.).
The tools used for the services in this environment do not generate smoke. In the
event of a fire, the facility has a fully equipment fire alarm and wet-pipe fire-
sprinkler system. In addition, fire extinguishers are placed throughout the facility
with placard notification and easy access (in accordance with local Fire Code).
Dust –
o Within the facility, light dust from BONDO application/sanding is to be
expected. The amount of dust is akin to a classroom chalkboard. At the end
of each shift, any floor space that has generated BONDO dust is broom and
vacuum cleaned. This would be the primary cause for any ‘interior dust’.
With the exterior doors being shut during working hours, none of this dust
would depart the building.
o Exterior – the only dust that would be on this facility wou ld be that which
blew in from adjacent properties. This facility has adequate paving,
perimeter landscaping and solid block walls. Nothing that occurs on this site
generates dust. Any dust that enters the site would likely attach to
perimeter landscaping and not pass through to the adjacent properties.
Vibration – No service that are performed on this site are known to generate
vibration that would be detectible. Nonetheless, if any vehicle or machine were to
enter the site that created a vibration, it would be removed and taken to a remote
facility which could perform the necessary repairs.
Illumination – The existing Site Lighting Poles generate subtle down-lighting. There
is no requirement for the Operator to request additional exterior lighting. All
interior lighting shall remain virtually undetected to adjacent properties.
Furthermore, the hours of operation: 9:00 am – 5:00 p.m. should deter any
requirement to illuminate the premises during dark-sky timeframes. In the event
that lights were inadvertently left on over-night, the employment of perimeter
screening walls, mature vegetation and down-lighting would prevent any spillover
onto adjacent land.
ii. Hazard to persons and property from possible explosion, contamination, fire or
flood.
General – This facility will operate with a low-volume containers of automotive
cleaning agents, shop towels, tools, electronic devices and an air compressor. All
material shall be stowed away in accordance with business licensing/regulations,
manufacturer’s recommendations, OSHA, Building/Electrical/Fire/Life-Safety
Codes.
Explosion/Fire – In the event of an explosion or fire, this facility’s Automatic Fire
Alarm/Fire-Sprinkler system shall be deployed. The Wet-Pipe sprinkler system
will be active and the local Fire Department will be notified via a monitored Fire
Alarm system.
Page 7 of 14
Contamination – No services are performed outside of the facility. Therefore,
no contamination should be anticipated outside the facility that would not occur
in any other parking spot (i.e., at an Elementary School or City Hall).
Nonetheless, if any unforeseen spill were to occur, it would be properly
contained and cleaned all within a paved surface. No vehicles or other activities
would occur elsewhere.
o Any run-off from interior vehicle washing shall process through three (3)
– 2,000 gallon oil-water separators before entering public sanitary sewer
lines. This system remains in-place from previous car wash drive-through
service. The amount of water/collection by the oil-separators that would
be used in the proposed use would be far less than 50% of that used by a
full-service car wash facility.
o No vehicle washing (or other services) shall be performed outside of the
building.
o Except for the designated wash-bay stall, no vehicle washing shall be
performed within any other location within the building.
o All ventilation, plumbing, lighting and equipment shall be maintained and
operational during any vehicle repairs.
o All repairs shall be performed by personnel who have received proper
training equipment and facility training.
iii. That the characteristics of the use proposed in such use permit are reasonably
compatible with the types of use permitted in the surrounding area.
In accordance with the active CCR’s that rule Mercado De l Rio, this Lot (Lot 11) falls
within the Development Plan’s permitted use for Automotive Services. As the
facility was previously constructed, no site or building activities are visible to Pusch
View Lane, nor to any other premises within the development. All vehicles entering
the site are immediately screened from ancillary view via 6’ high solid masonry wall.
NOTE: For specific screening of all customer/employee traffic, parking and vehicles
storage, please reference exhibit enclosed (next page). The photographs show actual
line-of-site from nearby lot perspectives. The ONLY development’s view of this
facility’s parking field will be from Lot 12 (located just to the South). As prescribed in
the Mercado Del Rio Covenants and Restrictions (excerpt below), Lot 12 is another
designated/approved Automotive Service Use Lot. Lot 12 is also managed by the
same entity that plans to run this proposed project. Upon completion of remodel, Lot
12 (Caliber Collision) will run both facilities simultaneously.

This shop will be operated/maintained by the same Caliber Collision shop that is
currently in operation next door.
Notwithstanding the above, the following “Mercado Del Rio CCR’s” regulations shall
be upheld:

General Notes about the Operator:
As a multi-state/multi-operator of Body Shops, Caliber Collision is well versed in the
procedures and requirements to divert any operational hazards. Prior to opening for
business, Caliber Collision will secure a Business License to operate said facility. Any
hazardous material shall be documented, handled and/or stored per local, state and
federal requirements. Furthermore, the existing facility contains a code-compliant fully
monitored fire alarm system, a complete automatic sprinkler system, and exterior fire
department connection.
The existing facility (site and building) has been inspected by licensed
Architects/Engineers who are thoroughly versed in Body Shop Designs. Final interior
improvement designs shall be designed by same Architects/Engineers. Interior Lighting,
HVAC Ventilation, and Storm Sewer oil/sand interceptors shall be properly placed to
facility safe conditions within and outside the entire property. These designs shall
receive City of Oro Valley Plans Review/Permit Approval to ensure structural, life safety,
ADA and Building Code compliance for the proposed operations.
Furthermore, the operator implements specific operational and safety guidelines that
secure on-going daily assurance of employee, customer, property and surrounding area
safety. These include:

4. Facility Management – Each facility is managed with adequate and competent staff to
oversee and monitor the repair services and customer interface.
5. Safety Training – Given the nature of using automated machinery and restoration supplies,
each employee is required to complete and continue ongoing safety training. All equipment
used is state of the art and properly maintained. This instruction safeguards the employees,
the environment, the clients, their vehicles and all neighboring facilities.
a. All training guidelines ensure prevention of the following:
i. Loud noise, fumes, odors, dust, vibration, illumination
ii. Fire, explosions, flooding,
iii. Contamination of persons, property or nearby equipment
6. Environmental Protection Agency and other Governmental Regulations – All products
used, services rendered, and disposals of waste are highly regulated to prevent unwanted
affects. All products and equipment are designed to ensure compliance. Laws and
limitations are monitored and enforced so that any employee, clientele and passerby may
be assured of a safe environment
E. Compatibility of the Proposed Facility with Surrounding:
Applicant suggests that this facility will serve as the single-most compatible site with the types
of uses permitted in the surrounding area. This facility will act as an extension of the existing
Caliber Collision. As such, it will promote further success of an existing business, re-occupancy
of an existing vacant facility, provide expanded job growth and assurance of good custodial care.
Finally, please note the contributions that Caliber Collision brings surrounding communities for
all of their locations. Among their traditions of charity and community enrichment programs
(http://calibercollision.com/about-us/community-involvement/), Caliber Collision actively
supports:
• American Heart Association Heart Walk, American Heart Association Cotes Du Coeur,
and Children’s Advocacy Center of Collin County
• Military personnel through Carry The Load, Wounded Warriors and 3M’s Hire Our
Heroes program
• Supplied local food banks with more than 275,000 meals for needy families in 2013
• Gifted 13 fully-refurbished vehicles to needy families through the Caliber Collision
Recycled Rides program in 2012. Plan on gifting 25 in 2013
To further endorse their commitment to excellence, USAA has identified Caliber Collision as
having “an exceptionally high standard when it comes to service delivery (ref. attached 7/15/14

SUBJECT:
PUBLIC HEARING: DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING THREE ITEMS RELATED TO A
PROPOSED SELF AND RV STORAGE IN THE MERCADO DEL RIO COMMERCIAL CENTER, LOCATED
NORTH OF PUSCH VIEW LANE, APPROXIMATELY 1/4-MILE WEST OF ORACLE ROAD. THE ITEMS
INCLUDE:
ITEM A: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR SELF-STORAGE
ITEM B: DEVELOPMENT AND LANDSCAPE PLAN FOR SELF AND RV STORAGE
ITEM C: ARCHITECTURE
RECOMMENDATION:
Planning and Zoning Commission recommends conditional approval of Items A and B, subject to the conditions in
Attachment 1, and approval of Item C.
Please note, Item A must be approved prior to consideration of Items B and C.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The purpose of this item is to consider three related
applications for a proposed self and RV storage use in
the Mercado del Rio commercial center, located north
of Pusch View Lane, approximately 1/4-mile west of
Oracle Road (see image at right). The three items
include:
Item A: Conditional Use Permit for Self-storage
(Attachment 2)
Item B: Development and Landscape Plan for
Self and RV storage uses (Attachments 3 and 4)
Item C: Architecture (Attachment 5)
The commercially zoned property (C-2) is approximately 5.8 acres in size and is immediately west of Caliber
Collision and Brake Masters in the eastern portion of the site. The center has an approved Master Development
Plan (Attachment 6) and includes a mix of uses including a spa, medical office and the aforementioned
automotive uses. Overall, the site is approximately 60% vacant.
The applicant's proposed design features:
An approximately 101,200 sq. ft. building that is two stories with a maximum building height of 30 feet and
includes the following:
887 storage units
Approximately 900 sf office space
51 RV spaces
51 RV spaces
Fully screened from all adjacent properties and roadways
Screen wall (varies between 11 and 13 feet) to match self-storage building architecture
Architectural design consistent with the existing buildings within the center
Existing access points will be maintained
Pedestrian connections throughout
Item A - Conditional Use Permit for Self storage (Attachment 2)
In the C-2 (Regional Commercial) zoning district, self-storage is allowed with a Conditional Use Permit (CUP),
while vehicle storage is a permitted use. All CUP's require Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Council
consideration. The Zoning Code establishes specific criteria for Conditional Uses as they typically generate more
impacts on neighbors and surrounding properties. The extra level of review is necessary to ensure the use is
appropriate for the site and all potential impacts are mitigated.
The key findings of the applicant's request include:
The site is located behind the Target and in-line shops within the Rooney Ranch shopping center which
makes the subject property a suitable low impact location for the proposed use.
1.
The use serves as an appropriate transition between the more intense automotive uses to the east (e.g.
Caliber Collision and Brake Masters) and the less intensive office and spa uses to the west.
2.
The applicant's proposed architecture is consistent with the approved guidelines of the center and all
applicable requirements of the zoning code. In addition, the screen wall surrounding the RV lot has been
designed with the same elements (e.g. varied heights and wall planes, texture, material and colors) as the
building architecture to ensure it is consistent with other buildings within the center.
3.
Several conditions have been included in Attachment 1 to ensure full screening is provided of all outdoor activities
and to enhance compatibility with the surrounding area. With these conditions, the applicant's CUP proposal is
consistent with these criteria as well as the goals and policies of the Your Voice, Our Future General Plan.
Item B - Development and Landscape Plan for Self and RV storage (Attachment 3)
The applicant's Self and RV storage use is proposed for Lots 9, 10 and 14-16 within the commercial center. The
proposal is to develop within the existing lot boundaries established as part of the Master Development Plan and
maintain the existing vehicular and pedestrian circulation network. This item is in conformance with all applicable
Zoning Code requirements.
Item C - Architecture (Attachment 4)
The applicant's proposed architecture is consistent with the approved Mercado del Rio Master Architecture
Guidelines as well as all applicable Design Principles and Standards of the Zoning Code.
The Planning and Zoning Commission considered the applicant's requests during a public hearing in March. A
key focus of the discussion focused on compatibility within the existing center. The Commission recommends
conditional approval of Items A and B, subject to the conditions in Attachment 1, and approval of Item C. Please
note, Item A must be approved prior to consideration of Items B and C.

DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The applicant's request is for three related items for a proposed Self and RV storage use within the Mercado del
Rio commercial center. The three items include:
Item A: Conditional Use Permit for the Self storage use (Attachment 2)
Item B: Development and Landscape Plan for Self and RV storage uses (Attachments 3 and 4 respectively)
Item C: Architecture (Attachment 5)
Each of the three items are discussed in detail below.
Item A - Conditional Use Permit for Self storage
This item is for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow the self storage use only as vehicle storage is a permitted
use. Self-storage is allowed in the commercial (C-2) zoning district only with a Conditional Use Permit. These
types of applications are reviewed for conformance with the CUP criteria in Section 22.5 of the Zoning Code.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT CRITERIA
The criteria are shown below in italics, followed by the applicant's response and staff commentary.
That the granting of such conditional use permit will not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare. In arriving at this determination, the factors which shall be considered shall include the following:
1) Damage or nuisance arising from noise, smoke, odor, dust, vibration or illumination;
Applicant: "Modern self-storage facilities are generally quiet and free of smoke, odors, dust and vibration. Outdoor
lighting will be shielded and compliant with the Town's outdoor lighting code in order to minimize impacts to any
surrounding property owners and public rights-of-way."
Staff: The applicant's proposal is not expected to generate any noise, smoke, odor, dust or vibration. All outdoor
lighting will be required to be in conformance with the Mercado del Rio Master Lighting Plan and all applicable
Zoning Code lighting requirements.
The applicant's proposal meets this criterion.
2) Hazard to persons and property from possible explosion, contamination, fire or flood;
Applicant: "Flammable substances are not permitted to be stored within the self-storage facility. Even so, it will be
equipped with a fire sprinkler system meeting the requirements of the fire department. Additionally, being within
Mercado del Rio this development has zero potential to cause flooding of other properties."
Staff : The proposed user of the facility does not allow storage of hazardous materials on-site. To ensure this
continues regardless of user, a condition has been included in Attachment 1 prohibiting the storage of hazardous
materials within the facility. A manager will be available during normal business hours to screen storage items for
possible hazards. Outside of normal business hours, the building will be under 24-hour surveillance (interior and
exterior) for increased safety.
The applicant's proposal meets this criterion.
3) Unusual volume or character of traffic;
Applicant: "Self-storage facilities generate very low volumes of traffic. Furthermore, by internalizing the storage
unit access, the amount of vehicular access area on site is significantly reduced from more traditional self-storage
facilities. Lastly, of all the land uses permitted in the C-2 Commercial zone, this proposed use will generate nearly
the least amount of traffic. For example, the retail space depicted on the existing Mercado del Rio development
plan within this same project boundary would generate approximately 3,076 daily trips, whereas the proposed
self-storage building and RV storage will generate well under 200 daily trips."
Staff: The applicant's proposed facility encompasses five lots within the commercial center, previously intended for
retail, restaurant, and/or office uses. The proposed facility is expected to generate less daily traffic than what was
anticipated and will have a lesser impact on area traffic.
Additionally, the site has been designed to utilize the existing circulation network within the center and will be
accessed via existing internal drives. The RV storage will be on a separate lot with sufficient space to more than
accommodate the expected vehicles. Finally, the loading area is located at the rear of the building, well removed
from traffic within the center.
The applicant's proposal meets this criterion.
4) That the characteristics of the proposed use are reasonably compatible with the types of use permitted in the
surrounding area and sufficient mitigation measures are employed to minimize impact on adjoining properties;
Applicant: "The proposed RV storage area is already permitted by the existing zoning. Other uses that are already
permitted in the C-2 zone include:
This proposed facility will have little impact on surrounding parcels, and certainly less impact than many other
permitted uses on this property.
The self-storage industry has evolved in recent years to move away from the traditional design involving external
vehicular access to storage units that were arranged in low, linear buildings. Modern self-storage facilities such as
the one proposed on this site are more secure and appear outwardly to be more like a new office building than a
traditional self-storage facility."
Staff: As a commercially zoned property, there is an expectation for this project to be surrounded by other
commercial uses. The key elements of the applicant's proposal include:
The site is located behind the Target and in-line shops within the Rooney Ranch shopping center which
makes the subject property a suitable location for the proposed use. The design also includes a screen wall
and landscaping with continuous tree canopy adjacent to the multi-use path to provide additional visual
relief.
1.
The use serves as an appropriate transition between the more intense automotive uses to the east (e.g.
Caliber Collision and Brake Masters) and the less intensive office and spa uses to the west.
2.
The site has been designed within the existing circulation network of the center and will provide pedestrian
connections throughout.
3.
The applicant's proposed architecture is consistent with the approved guidelines of the center and all
applicable requirements of the zoning code. In addition, the screen wall surrounding the RV lot has been
designed with the same elements (e.g. varied heights and wall planes, texture, material and colors) as the
building architecture to ensure it is consistent with other buildings within the center.
4.
Several standard self-storage conditions have been included in Attachment 1 to further ensure compatibility with
surrounding uses.
Lastly, the site has been previously used as overflow parking by adjacent businesses. Staff has been working
with the applicant and representatives from the Mercado del Rio Community Association who have been very
helpful in assisting the town to address the issue and find a resolution. The existing parking situation is being
- Bars - Office
- Light Manufacturing - Restaurants
- General retail uses - Research & development facilities
- Grocery stores - Car rental companies
- Daycare - Parking garages
- Hotels/motels - Private clubs
- Schools - Marijuana establishments
helpful in assisting the town to address the issue and find a resolution. The existing parking situation is being
addressed as part of this CUP and an amendment to the CUP for adjacent Caliber Collision business.
The proposal meets this criterion.
5) That the proposed use is consistent with the goals and policies of the general plan;
Please see Attachment 2 for the applicant's response to all the Your Voice, Our Future General Plan goals and
policies related to this proposal. Notable goals and policies are provided below in italics, followed by staff
commentary.
Policy LU.5 Provide diverse land uses that meet the Town's overall needs and effectively transition in scale
and density adjacent to neighborhoods.
The subject property is located behind the Target and in-line shops within the Rooney Ranch
shopping center and more than 800 feet from the nearest residential across the CDO wash.
The use serves as an appropriate transition between the more intense automotive uses to the east
(e.g. Caliber Collision and Brake Masters) and the less intensive office and spa uses to the west.
The applicant will also be enhancing existing landscape bufferyards throughout the property to
provide additional visual relief.
Policy LU.7 Coordinate planning for land use and transportation in order to promote growth areas and
transit and commercial corridors.
The facility is proposed within a Master Planned commercial center and will maintain the existing
pedestrian and vehicle circulation network.
The applicant's proposal meets this criterion.
6) That the hours of operation of the proposed use will not adversely impact neighboring properties;
Applicant: "The hours of operation will not adversely impact neighboring properties. The operational hours are
expected to be 8 AM to 6 PM with secure customer access to their storage units available from 6 AM until 11 PM."
Staff: The proposed hours of operation for the facility are consistent with other uses within the Mercado del Rio
commercial center and are not expected to have additional impacts on surrounding properties.
The applicant's proposal meets this criterion.
Item B: Development and Landscape Plan for Self and RV storage uses (Attachment 3 and 4 respectively)
This item is the proposed Development and
Landscape Plans for the proposed facility. The site
encompasses lots 9, 10 and 14-16 within the Mercado
del Rio commercial center. The proposed design
includes:
Approximately 101,200 square feet
887 units
Approximately 900 square feet of office
space
Max building height of 30 feet and 2 stories
Utilizes existing vehicular circulation within the
center
Pedestrian connections throughout
Landscape bufferyards
Enhancing existing vegetation along
Pusch View Lane
Enhanced continuous tree canopy between The Loop multi-use path and screen wall to ensure
outdoor activities are fully blocked from view
Screen walls
At rear of property adjacent to The Loop multi-use path (14 feet)
Adjacent to loading zone and refuse area
Surrounding RV storage with varied heights (11 to 13 feet) and wall planes to be consistent with
building architecture.
This item is consistent with the Master Development Plan and all applicable Design Principles and Standards of
the Zoning Code. A condition has been included in Attachment 1 to update the Master Development Plan to
reflect the final design should the applicant's requests be approved.
Item C - Architecture
This item is the applicant's proposed architecture for the proposed facility and is reviewed for conformance to the
approved Mercado del Rio Master Architectural Guidelines and any applicable Design Principles and Standards of
the Zoning Code. Key elements include:
The design (see graphic at right) is akin to an
office building with pedestrian scale elements
provided along all four sides to create
well-defined entrances and further break up wall
planes.
1.
It utilizes textures and colors found within the
Mercado del Rio commercial center and the
adjacent development.
2.
Varied roof and wall planes are incorporated as
well as a parapet roof to screen rooftop mechanical equipment.
3.
Screening is provided per code throughout the site, including an enhanced bufferyard and continuous tree
canopy along the north boundary adjacent to The Loop multi-use path. Screen walls are provided to block
from public view the loading, refuse, and RV storage areas, the latter of which incorporates similar design
elements, textures and colors to mimic the design aesthetic of the main building. Lastly, all mechanical
equipment will be fully screened.
4.
This item is consistent with the Mercado del Rio Master Architectural Design Guidelines and all applicable Design
Principles and Standards of the Zoning Code.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
An informational video for this project was posted on January 25, 2022, and two neighborhood meetings were

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
The Planning and Zoning Commission considered the applicant's requests during a public hearing in March.
Much of the discussion focused on compatibility within the existing center and impacts to adjacent uses. The site
is a low impact location at situate at the rear of a regional shopping center and the applicant's proposal will serve
as a land use transition between the more intense automotive uses to the east and less intense office and spa
uses to the west.
The Commission recommends conditional approval of Items A and B, subject to the conditions in Attachment 1,
and approval of Item C.
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
The applicant's proposal is to develop a Self and RV storage facility within the Mercado del Rio commercial
center. Key factors include:
The site is located behind the Target and in-line shops within the Rooney Ranch shopping center which
makes the subject property an ideal location for the proposed use.
1.
The use serves as an appropriate transition between the more intense automotive uses to the east (e.g.
Caliber Collision and Brake Masters) and the less intensive office and spa uses to the west.
2.
The applicant's proposed architecture is consistent with the approved guidelines of the center and all
applicable requirements of the zoning code. In addition, the screen wall surrounding the RV lot has been
designed with the same elements (e.g. varied heights and wall planes, texture, material and colors) as the
building architecture to ensure it is consistent with other buildings within the center.
3.
The facility is proposed on established lots within the center and maintain the existing circulation network.4.
All outdoor activities, loading zone, refuse area, RV storage will be completely screened from view.5.
The Conditional Use Permit includes provisions to further restrict activity on the site (i.e. outside storage or
rental vehicles) that would be considered a nuisance to the nearby residents and community.
6.
The Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended conditional approval of Items A and B and
approval of Item C.

PROJECT: Self-Storage / RV Storage at Mercado del Rio PROJECT #: 22ama01
SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit Request for Self-Storage Use
Project Overview
Roughly twenty years ago the Mercado del Rio complex on Pusch View Lane just west of Oracle Road was approved by
the Oro Valley Town Council. Over the years a number of businesses have successfully located there, providing goods
and services to area residents and sales tax revenue to the Town. The latest business to desire a location within Mercado
del Rio is Life Storage, a modern self-storage provider with approximately 1,125 facilities encompassing over 67 million
square feet in 36 states. Life Storage seeks to provide modern, secure, clean facilities that utilize innovative technologies
to enhance the customer experience. Below is a conceptual rendering of the proposed Life Storage Facility at Mercado
del Rio, which will also include a fully screened storage lot for recreational vehicles. The nearest neighbors of this project
are the Rooney Ranch shopping center to the east and the Rock Ridge Apartments to the south. The nearest single-family
properties are over 800 feet to the southwest in the Oro Valley Country Club (beyond Pusch View Lane, a 135’-wide
tributary channel of the CDO Wash, and an OV Water Utility facility) and to the northwest in the River’s Edge subdivision
on the other side of the CDO Wash.
The RV storage is permitted by existing zoning, while the self-storage element requires a Conditional Use Permit. As such,
we submit this request for approval of a CUP concurrently with the review and approval of the Conceptual Site Plan
package for the overall development. Further details are provided below.
Conditional Use Permit Request
Town Code allows Town Council to approve self-storage uses when a proposed development has demonstrated
compliance with the criteria for evaluating Conditional Use Permits as stated in Section 22.5 of the Oro Valley Zoning
Code. The criteria are listed below, along with responses to each criterion.
1. That the granting of such conditional use permit will not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety,
or welfare. In arriving at this determination, the factors which shall be considered shall include the following:
a. Damage or nuisance arising from noise, smoke, odor, dust, vibration or illumination;
Modern self-storage facilities are generally quiet and free of smoke, odors, dust and vibration.
Outdoor lighting will be shielded and compliant with the Town’s outdoor lighting code in order to
minimize impacts to any surrounding property owners and public rights-of-way.
b. Hazard to persons and property from possible explosion, contamination, fire or flood;
Flammable substances are not permitted to be stored within the self-storage facility. Even so, it will
be equipped with a fire sprinkler system meeting the requirements of the fire department.
Additionally, being within Mercado del Rio this development has zero potential to cause flooding of
other properties.

G:\Projects\22am Mercado del Rio\a01 Storage\0240\Sub 2\Sub 2 Narrative.docx
c. Unusual volume or character of traffic.
Self-storage facilities generate very low volumes of traffic. Furthermore, by internalizing the storage
unit access the amount of vehicular access area on site is significantly reduced from more traditional
self-storage facilities. Lastly, of all the land uses permitted in the C-2 Commercial zone, this proposed
use will generate nearly the least amount of traffic. For example, the retail space depicted on the
existing Mercado del Rio development plan within this same prioject boundary would generate
approximately 3,076 daily trips, whereas the proposed self-storage building and RV storage will
generate well under 200 daily trips.
2. That the characteristics of the proposed use are reasonably compatible with the types of use permitted in
the surrounding area and sufficient mitigation measures are employed to minimize impact on adjoining
properties.
The proposed RV storage area is already permitted by the existing zoning. Other uses that are already
permitted in the C-2 zone include bars, offices, light manufacturing, restaurants, general retail uses,
research & development facilities, grocery stores, car rental companies, daycares, parking garages,
hotels/motels, private clubs, schools, and marijuana establishments. This proposed storage facility will
have little impact on surrounding parcels, and certainly less impact than many other permitted uses on
this property.
The self-storage industry has evolved in recent years to move away from the traditional design involving
external vehicular access to storage units that were arranged in low, linear buildings. Modern self-storage
facilities such as the one proposed on this site are more secure and appear outwardly to be more like a
new office building than a traditional self-storage facility.

3. That the proposed use is consistent with the goals and policies of the general plan.
This development supports a number of General Plan goals and policies. For example:
o 3.4.D. – The people of Oro Valley strive for a community with a wide range of services, amenities,
shopping and dining opportunities and housing types that meet the needs of current and future
residents.
This facility will add to the “wide range of services” available to Oro Valley residents.
o 3.4.J – A safe community with low crime, safe neighborhoods and positive relationships between law
enforcement and community members.
With its increased security measures such as individual passcodes, surveillance cameras, an
onsite manager, and bright internal security lighting this facility will provide a safer self-storage
alternative to “traditional” self-storage facilities near the Town.
o 3.5.E.4 – Support the Oro Valley workforce and residents through education and training programs
and needed services and amenities.
This facility will help fill the need for modern self-storage options in Oro Valley.
o 4.8.CE.3 – Lead efforts which contribute to regional reduction in air pollution and greenhouse gas
emissions.
By providing modern self-storage at this central location, Town residents needing a safe and high-
quality self-storage option won’t have to drive as far, reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
o 5.5.LU.1 – Promote land use development practices and programs that conserve and minimize
impacts to natural and cultural resources.
The subject property has been previously graded and earmarked this this type of development,
so no natural or cultural resources will be impacted.
o 5.5.LU.5 – Provide diverse land uses that meet the Town’s overall needs and effectively transition in
scale and density adjacent to neighborhoods.
This property’s lack of nearby single-family residential neighbors is partially why it was zoned
years ago for land uses such as the proposed facility. The apartment complex and Pusch View
Lane to the south, the Rooney Ranch shopping center to the east, and the CDO Wash to the north
all provide strong and effective land use transitions around Mercado del Rio.
o 5.5.LU.9 – Promote the design of cohesive developments that enhance and promote the pedestrian
experience.
The Mercado del Rio development provides excellent pedestrian access to the public sidewalk
system along Pusch View Lane and the multi-use path along the CDO Wash. Mercado del Rio
also includes a central pedestrian plaza that will be preserved as well as a trailhead to the CDO
Wash path.

G:\Projects\22am Mercado del Rio\a01 Storage\0240\Sub 2\Sub 2 Narrative.docx
o 5.7.DG.1. – Require new development to pay its share toward the cost of additional public facility and
service needs generated by new development, while balancing public and private interests in cost
allocation.
The developer will fund their fair share of any new infrastructure is required to offset the impacts
of this development.
o 5.8.I.10. – Accommodate community services and utilities that meet the larger community needs and
goals.
This development’s central, infill location is extremely accessible by pedestrians and bicyclists.
In fact, a public trailhead and multi-use path already exists along the property’s northern edge
4. That the hours of operation of the proposed use will not adversely impact neighboring properties.
The hours of operation will not adversely impact neighboring properties. The operational hours are
expected to be 8 AM to 6 PM with secure customer access to their storage units available from 6 AM until
11 PM.
We appreciate your consideration of these requests. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
Sincerely,
Paul Oland
