Oro Valley Town Council
Town of Oro Valley
11000 N. La Canada Dr.
Oro Valley,AZ 85737
Subject: Minor Final Plat Amendments
Dear Mr. Mayor:
We thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposed Minor Final Plat Amendment and the
diligent work put forth to develop an improved streamlined process for the development community of
Oro Valley. Metropolitan Pima Alliance (MPA) is a land use advocacy organization representing 140
members involved in both commercial and residential development. MPA advocates for balanced land
use policies that stimulate economic development. We are writing to express our support of this
amendment and encourage the council to adopt Ordinance No. (0)16-06, amending Section 22.9 of the
Oro Valley Zoning Code relating to Minor Final Plat Amendments,finding the amendment would allow the
ability to approve minor changes which are consistent with the approved subdivision plat.
MPA believes the the proposed amendment will provide greater flexibility in the process and ameliorate
the difficulties associated with the current amendment process. By enabling the planning and zoning
administrator the ability to administratively approve minor, common sense changes and amendments to
an approved Final Plat, these administrative changes will result in a more efficient process to correct
technical errors and other non-material changes in a manner which is commonly found in other Arizona
communities. As a direct result,this reduces time and costs for both the Town and applicants.
We look forward to collaborating with staff in the process to ensure that the final amendments address
the Town's needs while also making Oro Valley attractive to development and outside investment. If you
have any questions or comments please contact Amber Smith at 520-878-8811 or amber@mpaaz.org.
Sincerely,
/1 co:-;
