The public art project desires to include three-dimensional art to be located in both clubhouse’s breezeway or part of the outside landscape near the front of Clubhouse site. The clubhouse will be a high end private facility for Stone Canyon members and their guests. It will be a Sonoran Hacienda style with a mud set tile roof, smooth stucco finishes and open rafters. It will have high wooden beams spanning drywall ceilings, mostly hardwood interior floors with concrete and inset tile floors outside. The building side walls will be comprised of glass doors that open to outside dining and sitting areas with an emphasis of the views of the golf course, the Catalina Mountains, and the city lights of Tucson.   18 AL GLANN Al Glann has been creating sculpture in a variety of media including steel and bronze for over twenty-five years. Glann’s sculpture has been exhibited in Ohio, Arkansas, Colorado, Texas, California, and Arizona. His work is in private collections in Florida, New York, Michigan, Ohio, Minnesota, California, Arizona, Colorado, Washington, Texas, Great Britain, Canada, and Chiggio (Venice) Italy. Glann’s public art works include the “Morning Light” Oro Valley, Arizona, “Evening Light” Oro Valley, “People Helping People” at the Tucson International Airport Tucson, Arizona, “Soul Survivor” in downtown Mesa, Arizona, “Ask Me” at the Columbus Metropolitan Library Hilltop Branch, Columbus, Ohio, and “Rimstalker” at the Columbus Metropolitan Library Hillard Branch, Columbus, Ohio. Al Glann was an Associate Professor of art and design at The Art Institute of Phoenix, Phoenix, Arizona from 1996 – 2010 and a Associate Professor at the Columbus College of Art & Design, Columbus, Ohio from 1981 - 1996. 19 In developing the concept for the Stone Canyon Golf Clubhouse I was working with the energy within the swing of a golf club. It is unique, in that one is striking a stationary object and looking to control it at the same time. I am fascinated with the energy and actual physics of the swing, the designs of specific golf clubs and the design of the golf ball and how all of those elements come into play with each individual. The essence of the energy involved is what I am looking to create with my sculpture. The contemporary sculpture is designed to appeal to all members of the community not just the golfing community. Sculpture Description The 14’ steel free standing sculpture will be anchored to a concrete base. The sculpture will use both standard steel and stainless steel along with a color treatment. I will working be with a structural engineer who has worked on a number of free standing public art sculptures to assure that it will be permanent sculpture that meets Oro Valley construction code. The steel is a very durable material and in addition to the color it have UV protective epoxy clear coat protecting the surface for the long term There will be no sharp edges or surfaces on the sculpture that could potentially cause harm. The location of the sculpture at the Stone Canyon Golf Club will not be in a position were people would or could accidentally run into it. As this point the staff at Stone Canyon Golf Club has not made a final decision on exact location. The sculpture will be anchored to a concrete base with security bolts to insure stability and safety. The maintenance of the sculpture will be minimal because of the durable finish and overall height of the piece. 20 21 22 23 DAVID WIENERT Tucson based sculpture artist David Wienert has captured the essence of the Southwest desert for over 13 years and brought it to life through concrete with metal accents. His work focuses on the sculptural beauty of the Sonoran Desert by utilizing the distinct plant forms that symbolize the Arizona desert. Saguaro, Organ Pipe, Fence Post and others create the perfect medium for a spectacular sculpture. Working on all scales, Dave has created pieces from 1’ to over 18’ high and sculpted over 2000 original designs. Each piece is colored to create a stone like finish that shows the textures and shadows of real cactus. Working with cactus form has allowed Dave to apply his art to many different projects from sculpture, furniture and architectural details. Dave’s work can be seen in several public art installations in Arizona that include the Desert Museum, Tohonol Chul, Boyce Thompson Arboretum and the Scottsdale Community College. All have been performing in the public domain for many years.   24 Stone Canyon 1 Night Shadow- This unique piece (Aloe Tree) will present several aloe clusters with copper bloom stems, finished in a rusted steel with green under tones to represent night. Each leaf shows a slightly different twist and curl with steel edging to show thorn details. The whimsical and striking look of this piece shows the diversity of desert plant life as part of this series as seen on a moon lit night. Stone Canyon 2- Desert Morning- This is the first time I have combined several plants into one sculpture to show a combination of textures, color and form. This part of the series shows a pair of young Saguaro’s nestled among agave and other cactus. Each plant will have a distinct color hue from blues to green with rust highlights. The desert in the morning casts a cooler color tone and shows a rich diverse combination of desert textures and form. 25 Stone Canyon 3- Desert Dusk-My second combination of plants surround a young Saguaro with a stemming Agave and columer cactus combined to further complement the series as a whole. The color pallet will range from rusted metal to green, blues and purple to reflect dusk in the desert. Stone Canyon 4- Enduring Desert- This Organ Pipe sculpture will have many more hours of distinct details and color treatments unlike anything I have created before. Each arm will show segmented and distressed details to capture the hard desert life for these of these plant family’s. The piece will show arms in all phases of life from mature to vibrant youth. The colors will transition from the base to the tips from dark greens to purples and gray over a speckled granite finish to represent the timeless presence of these majestic plants. 26 27 28 Senior Care Zoning Code Amendment Town Council November 18, 2015 29 Purpose Zoning Code Amendment Update terms and definitions Revaluate appropriate zoning districts Additional development standards Considered by Town Council in January, 2015 and continued to allow for: Site Tour Explore ability to regulate interior aspects Consideration of additional development standards Thank you Mayor, members of Town Council Our purpose tonight is to consider a Zoning Code amendment relative to Senior Care uses. The amendment is comprised of three components: First, the amendment updates the terms and definitions within the Zoning Code for consistency with terms used by the State. Second, the amendment evaluates appropriate zoning districts for senior care uses. Third, the amendment explores additional development standards for senior care uses. The amendment was considered by Town Council in January of this year. Discussion at the January hearing focused on the third aspect of the amendment and therefore my comments will be focused on the additional development standards. Town Council continued the request to allow for: A site tour of a senior care facility to better understand the regulatory aspects and operational characteristics of senior care uses. Town Council also wanted to explore the Town’s ability to regulate interior aspects of senior care uses Finally, the amendment was continued to consider additional development standards that should be applied to senior care uses. 30 Town Council Tour - Take Aways Extent of regulation International Building Code International Fire Code Department of Health Services Areas of focus: Interior components Exterior components Meaningful open space Proximity of units to services and amenities Protection of residents from climate Splendido In September, the management staff for Splendido were gracious to allow us to tour their facilities, which are well designed and organized, with a range of amenities and services. So, a big thank you to them, specifically Tom Rios and Nancy Boyle. On hand for the tour were staff from: Town building, planning and town managers office Fire Marshalls Office Arizona Department of Health Services We facilitated a walking tour of the internal operations and facility components Questions were fielded throughout the tour and answered from agency representatives One of the big take away’s from the tour by participant’s was the extent of regulation already provided by the International Building Code, International Fire Code and the State Department of Health Services. During the January consideration of this amendment, there were two areas of focus, internal (or walls in) and external (or walls out) The Town Attorney has since clarified that the Town does not have the power to regulate interior aspects such as décor, flooring, furniture and internal service levels, so the amendment is focused on exterior aspects of senior care facilities only. During the January hearing and during the September tour, discussion focused on three additional exterior development standards, in addition to the recreational area. These three additional areas include: Meaningful open space, proximity of units to services and amenities and protection of residents from the climate. I would point out that we used Spendido as a model to set the new standards, based on what we saw and experienced on the site tour 31 New Development Standards – Open Space 30% open space for all senior care uses One-half required open space in contiguous area or areas Walking paths or other passive amenities Credit for recreational areas and environmentally sensitive open space meeting intent Splendido Rancho Vistoso Blvd. So, in terms of meaningful open space, one of the things we heard during the January public hearing was the need for open space areas for the passive enjoyment of residents. Many senior care facilities in the region have the appearance of a hotel with a parking lot, with little or no large open space areas. Most of the landscaping in these projects is fragmented along street frontages and within parking lots. One of the things that impressed the tour participants was the large open space areas around Splendido which gave it a campus like atmosphere and provided walking paths and areas for outdoor enjoyment. The new standard requires 30% open space for all senior care uses. Then one-half of that required open space is required in a contiguous area or areas. The open space would need to include walking paths or other passive amenities And credit is given for recreational areas and environmentally sensitive open space meeting the intent of the requirement 32 New Development Standards - Resident Access Plan Objective: Provide convenient access for residents by minimizing travel distance Ensure proximate relationship between units and services/amenities Required as part of design application Separated pedestrian access ways to all parking areas Nakoma Sky Another discussion point at the January hearing and the site tour was the need for convenient and proximate access from units to support services, amenities and recreational areas. The image on the right is the recently approved Nakoma Sky plan. If you will recall, the memory care was moved to the main campus area for this specific reason, to locate residential units closer to support services and amenities. A new requirement has been included for consideration which requires a resident access plan as part of the design application. This plan will be reviewed to ensure building areas are concentrated to the greatest extent feasible with the objective of minimizing travel distances between units and support services and amenities. As part of this plan, separated pedestrian walkways will be required to all parking areas. The requirement for separated walkways may be reduced or waived by Town Council for a use like memory care where residents don’t drive. 33 New Development Standards – Covered Parking and Drop Off Area Covered Parking 50% of required parking May be reduced for a specific use Protected passenger drop off area Shaded area Bench seating The final standards for consideration address protection of residents from the climate. On of the things noted on the tour was the amount of covered parking at Spendido. The new standard would require 50% of the required parking to be covered parking, which again, can be reduced or waived based on the resident needs of a particular facility like memory care. A new standard has been included which requires a protected drop off area with shaded seating for residents awaiting pick up from relatives or public transportation like Sun Shuttle. 34 Stakeholder Review Senior care facilities Senior care advocates State Department of Health Services Architects and Designers Developers Interested parties The original amendment as well as the current draft has been distributed to a large group of stakeholders including: Senior Care Facilities Senior Care Advocates State Department of Health Services Architects and Designers Developers and Interested Parties. Town Council has been provided copies of previous comments received on the amendment request 35 Consistent with General Plan Updates terms and definitions Provides for use in appropriate zoning districts Provides appropriate development standards Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the original amendment Recommendation In conclusion, The request is consistent with the General Plan It: Updates terms and definitions Provides for senior care in appropriate zoning districts Provides for appropriate development standards The Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended approval of the original amendment That concludes my comments Mr. Mayor and I would be happy to answer any questions you may have. 36 37 Part 1: Terms and Definitions Long Term Care Facility Independent Care Facility Convalescent Home Rehabilitative Care Facility Community Residence Mature Adult Retirement Quarters Hospice Care Nursing Care Facility Nursing Home Senior Citizens Development Senior Housing Assisted Living Facility 38 Part 1: Terms and Definitions Proposed Solution: Senior Care Facility: Single or Multiple Use Facilities - Independent Living Facilities - Assisted Living Facilities - Hospice In-Patient - Nursing Care 39 Part 1: Terms and Definitions Common senior care elements: Multiple units and beds Parking areas and emergency access Single and multi-story buildings Landscaped areas and amenities 40 Part 1: Terms and Definitions Assisted Living Homes Small in home care up to 10 residents Protected use under Federal Law Cannot require Conditional Use Permit Can require 1,000 foot spacing 41 Part 2: Zoning Districts Continue to permit in: Multi-family zoning district Townhome zoning districts Neighborhood commercial zoning district Standards to address compatibility Setbacks Building height Open space and landscaping Design standards Permitted vs. Conditional Use 42 Part 3: Development Standards Recreational Area 1 acre / 85 units or beds Requires active and passive amenities Flexibility in amenities Credits for indoor amenities 43 State and County Regulations Comprehensive licensure process Extensive Rules and Standards Operational aspects Service plans Staff training Medications and nutrition Physical plant Emergency and safety Annual renewals, inspections and compliance monitoring County – permitting and compliance for food services 44 International Fire and Building Codes Comprehensive review and inspection Primary life safety issues Tripping and falling hazards Safe ingress and egress Accessibility Emergency systems Fire protection and warning systems 45 Zoning Code Allowable zoning districts Building heights and setbacks Compatibility Landscaping Design review Conditional use Recreational Areas 46 47
