Town Council: November 4, 2015
Mayor Hiremath, Members of the Town Council, thank you for having us again tonight
My name is Elisa Hamblin, I’m the Long Range Principal Planner in the Development and Infrastructure Services Department
I’m excited to discuss the Your Voice, Our Future project with you and all those in the audience
A lot of work has been completed in the last two years
We are now at a critical juncture and asking for your tentative adoption of the 90% draft plan tonight
I would like to take a moment and recognize six of the Your Voice Committee members that have been selected by their respective committees to represent their work, and include:
Community Committee: Tom Gribb and Marilyn Lane
Environment Committee: Bob Swope and Bob Milkey
Development Committee: Bill Adler and Mike Schoeppach
Three of them will be participating in portions of this presentation in just a bit
I would also like to recognize many other committee members that are here in the audience – thank you for your support

Your Voice, Our Future Project
Identify common values and opportunities
Find improvements
Guide critical decisions about:
Our future
Quality of life
Build a community-owned plan of action
7
The Your Voice, Our Future project set out to identify what the community values and chart a plan of action to get there
We are a community of excellence which constantly strives for ways to improve
The plan is an update to the Town’s community plan, commonly referred to as a General Plan
Our previous General Plan was adopted in 2005 and reflects the directions of that period in time
The State does require an update to this plan every ten years and action by Council tonight will serve as meeting that requirement
An update to the plan was also needed due to changes in the community’s demographics
This plan covers many topics of importance for the Oro Valley community and the directions from it impact the Town’s future and quality of life for years to come
7
Project Schedule
We are here!
Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3
In conjunction with creating the Public Participation Plan, the project was laid out into 3 phases
Phase 1 “Let’s talk” was the information gathering phase
Through events, surveys and extensive outreach we created a foundation for the plan through the community’s Vision and Guiding Principles
In Phase 2 “Let’s think” we pulled together resident committees to make some hard decisions
They were charged with using the foundation of Phase 1 and building a plan – which is where we are now, as indicated by the star
Coming up in Phase 3 “Do it! Make it so” we will be going back out to the community to share information about the plan before seeking final voter ratification in November of next year

Phase 1 –
Let’s talk!
Where we’ve been: Phase 1
In Phase 1 we went to people to where they live, work, shop and play
We made every effort to make engagement with this project meaningful and accessible
At our over 60 community events we collected over 2,600 post-it note comments
We had almost 600 surveys completed and almost 2,000 people visit our project website
We have had extensive media coverage to help spread the word, including news articles, school newspapers and social media
Together the information that was gathered from many voices set a clear direction for the choices to be made
One of the key components of the outreach in Phase 1 was our project surveys
Town Council 11/4/15

Surveys Results
Residents in Oro Valley…
Most value:
Safe community with low crime rate
Scenic and natural beauty
Sense of community
Least value:
Lack of services
Rapid growth
To build a better community focus on:
Managing land development
Maintaining safety
Employment opportunities
Parks
Festivals or cultural events
Shopping opportunities
In order to gather key information from people in the community, we used 4 survey methods
These surveys gave us statistically projectable and balanced data as well as an opportunity for broad community participation
We had hundreds of people who participated through these survey methods
The directions from these surveys affirmed what the people of Oro Valley value most – including public safety, natural beauty and the sense of community
Although public safety and natural beauty have continued to be a top priority for residents since the last General Plan, the sense of community has increased in importance. In 2005 the
community placed an emphasis on the rural character of the Town, whereas now that has shifted to thinking of Oro Valley as a complete community with its own distinct character and services
meeting the needs of its residents
These priorities were consistent across all our survey methods
The people also told us what to focus on in the future, including managing development, maintaining safety, and increasing opportunities for employment and other amenities
These directions shaped the Vision and Guiding Principles
Town Council 11/4/15
Oro Valley’s Vision
“What should Oro Valley be like in 10 years and beyond?”
Oro Valley’s
Vision for the Future
To be a well-managed community that provides all residents with opportunities for quality living. Oro Valley will keep its friendly, small-town character, while increasing services,
employment and recreation. The Town’s lifestyle continues to be defined by a strong sense of community, a high regard for public safety and an extraordinary natural environment and
scenic views.
The community’s V&GP were crafted to answer the question of what Oro Valley should be like in 10 years and beyond
Key values like safety, natural beauty and community are repeated again and again
The Vision and Guiding Principles provide high level guidance and allow us to move forward
They reflect the community’s voice and serve as the foundation of the plan

Committee Challenges
Stay on track with the
Vision and Guiding Principles
The Your Voice committees truly accomplished a great amount of work
The members of these committees were recruited through an open application process to ensure balance and diversity
We have committee members ranging from high school students to retirees, from professionals to stay at home parents, and from recent transplants to 30 year residents
Together they were collectively challenged to be thorough, productive and collaborative all while working with the V&GP
These committee members came together across a series of meetings, that ran from September 2014 all the way through this last month
There was not always agreement on every issue, but there was always healthy debate
These committee members truly dove into their work

September
What you have before you tonight is the 90% draft of the plan
But there were many steps to get here
Through the committee process there were roughly 5-7 versions of each committees work before we even got to the 30% version in April
Through review and refinement, a 60% plan version was released this last summer
This included a state-mandated 60 day review period
The resulting 90% plan was released in September
This draft was truly inspired and shaped by the community
It was written for the all of the community and its language, themes, organization and graphics are all designed to engage people into using this action-oriented plan

COMMUNITY
VISION AND GUIDING PRINCIPLES
The plan itself, which is before you tonight was built off the community’s V&GP
The main chapters of the plan lay out the community’s goals, policies and actions
Chapter 3, 4 and 5 tell us what we strive for and the path to get there
Chapter 6 is a truly unique feature of this plan as it outlines specific actions to take to achieve those goals and policies

On the ground
Mid level
Unfortunately Bill Adler is unable to be with us tonight. I would like to share a few points that he has spoken to previously and will strive to do them justice.
This is a community process that started with the Vision and Guiding Principles and has filtered through every level of the plan.
If Bill were here he would give you an example of how to use the plan. . .
Planned Area Development amendment, Commercial office to Medium density residential
Guiding Principle: Manage how we grow and maintain high design standards
Goal: V. Neighborhoods that include access and effective transitions to open space, recreation, and schools and that are supported by shopping and services which meet daily needs.
Policy: LU.5. Provide diverse land uses which meet the Town’s overall needs and effectively transition in scale and density adjacent to neighborhoods.
Action: 125. Maintain the unique character of Oro Valley by studying and updating: . . . Land use regulations that define and incorporate effective compatibility standards.
Town Council 11/4/15

A Proactive Plan
FORWARD
THiNKiNG
Again, one of the points that I believe resident and committee member Bill Adler made at the last meeting was that this plan is forward thinking.
Bill has years of experience working in the community and participating in numerous General Planning efforts.
He spoke of times in the past that the Town has played ‘catch-up’
Now, this plan sets a future looking path, which all started with the Vision and Guiding Principles. They answer that fundamental question of “what should Oro Valley be like in 10 years
and beyond?”
Now to present more about the plan I have representatives from each committee
We will first hear from Marilyn Lane from the Community Committee, then by Bob Swope from the Environment Committee and lastly Mike Schoeppach will present for the Development Committee

Responsible departments
Ideas to action:
Strategic Plan, workplans and future work
Details – TBD!
Before talking more about the plan I want to quickly thank those committee members who have taken their time to present to us tonight – they have truly represented the work of their
diverse groups well
In chapter 6 of the plan we have outlined specific actions to fulfill the desires of the community
These actions are based all the way back on the V&GP and line up with the plans goals and policies
These actions demonstrate a real commitment to carrying the plan forward into the future
Each action includes a timeframe, within the next ten years, that the work will be started and also identifies the Town department that will be responsible for working on that action
They will be implemented through various mechanisms, including the Town’s strategic plan and department work plans and the annual budgeting process
There is still much more work to be done

What’s Next
PHASE II
PHASE III
We have held three meetings with the Planning and Zoning Commission
At their last meeting on October 20 they unanimously voted to forward a recommendation to the Town Council for tentative adoption of the plan
This recommendation included one condition and two minor modifications, which were offered by the Planning and Zoning Commission to further clarify the work of the Your Voice Committees
and do not change the intent or substantial work already completed
These items are included with your materials tonight
Tonight we’re here with you at this public hearing to ask you for tentative adoption of the plan
Tentative adoption is being offered on this version of the plan so that we can first, recognize the substantial work that has been completed by the Your Voice Committees, second it allows
for continued clarification and refinement to fill in the last 10% of the plan over the next year, and lastly action tonight serves to meet the 10-year legally required timeframe set
by State lawy
Action tonight sets us up to do the work of phase 3 – where we will be back out in the community talking to people about the plan
In order to do this in the most effective way, we’ll be working with residents to chart a course to reach people
We’ll be creating a custom-tailored approach for outreach and education on the plan to ensure as many people as possible know about the plan
A 100% version of the plan will then be prepared – which will be presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Council in late summer of 2016 before proceeding to the public
vote in November of next year
Town Council 11/4/15

Tonight
Staff recommends that the Town Council ‘tentatively adopt’ the draft plan
November timing is key – within the 10 year legal timeframe
Allow for:
Technical edits
Ability to fill in the last 10%
Return for recommendation
in 2016 with the Final Plan
Tonight we are asking that the Town Council tentatively adopt the plan, with an acknowledgment that we still need to fill in the last 10% of the plan with the community’s help
This adoption is important on many levels, as I’ve already mentioned, but again timing on this is key to ensure action within the 10 year legal timeframe

Thank you for having us here tonight
We appreciate your time and attention
I would again like to acknowledge the countless residents who have helped with this plan over the last two years, including a Scoping Committee, Communications Advisory Committee, the
Your Voice Volunteers, and the Your Voice Community, Environment and Development Committees as well as many others who helped spread the word and share their ideas for the future of
Oro Valley – thank you
I also wish to acknowledge the support of two members of Council in particular, Joe Hornat and Mike Zinkin, who served as members of an Oversight Committee which provided feedback on
the process and making sure we were reaching people in the community
For those in the audience, please check out our website which also includes a link to the plan itself
Keep us in mind – if you have a group you would like us to come to next year, please let us know
There is also a sign-up sheet in the back if you would like to included in our project mailing list
With that, we are willing to answer any questions or offer clarification on any items that we have presented here tonight
Q: What about the last 10%
A: We believe the last 10% of the plan will be filled in over the next year. Because of the extensive outreach that has been done, we don’t anticipate any changes in direction. We expect
that last 10% will help further the work and direction already establishes as well as help clarify and refine what’s in place. We also plan on pulling together a resident Communications
Advisory Committee to help outline the path for Phase III.

1. Planned Area Development Amendment
Site Design
Grouping of uses
Automotive group
500 feet
Primary aspect of the 1st request, the PAD Amendment, is to consider Site Design
-Current PAD intended for grouping of similar uses, which resulted in*
- in-line stores near rear of site*
- individual pads closer to Oracle Road along the street frontage
PAD permits 2 gas stations and*…Existing Shell gas station on…Idea was to establish an “Automotive cluster” w/gas stations no more than 500 ft apart.*
Challenges with locating high traffic auto uses near one another, results in…
- congestion/traffic
Applicant’s PAD amendment request is to ….*
Gas stations require a CUP in the Rooney Ranch PAD
39
2. Conditional Use Permit
Additional review to address potential impacts
CUP Evaluation Criteria
Town of Oro Valley
Conditional Uses…typically have characteristics which can have a negative impact on adjacent areas and therefore may not be appropriate for every site.
Generally require additional review.
Code establishes specific CUP criteria for evaluating these types of uses.
40
Conditional Use Permit Review Criteria
Not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare
Noise, smoke, odor, dust, vibration or illumination;
Explosion, contamination, fire or flood;
Unusual volume or character of traffic.
Reasonably compatible with the types of use permitted in the surrounding area.
The criteria is summarized on the screen:
As discussed in your report, the proposal is consistent with the these criteria.
Staff primarily focused on traffic and circulation related to the proposed gas station*…I will focus on this.
Conditional Use Permit
Managing traffic
Background on the Shopping Center
As discussed in your report… two drives w/in the center*
1. Access drive near store fronts that provides convenient access for customers.
- expect to have to slow down (lots of traffic)
- Traffic calming (speed bumps/stop signs)*
2. Ring Road designed as alternative to allow for faster traffic w/fewer potential conflicts.
For example:
- if someone entered on First Avenue and wanted to go to Rubios. Much faster route.
The ring road was deliberate and must be preserved.
42
Traffic
1st Avenue
Proposed fuel center shown in context of existing center
Proposed fuel center as outlined…
Maintains the ring road providing access to the light
Separates fuel center traffic from ring road traffic by
- removed parking
- incorporating 2 landscape islands to limit access points
Condition of approval has been included in Attachment 2 requiring extending the island to restrict the access points and reduce the potential for traffic conflicts
Sidewalk connections greatly improving pedestrian connectivity w/in the center to minimize traffic conflicts.
43
Traffic
The new gas station will generate traffic from the following sources:
Internal capture – essentially traffic that is already visiting the shopping center, will also use the gas station. This is considered existing onsite traffic that was already using
the shopping center.
Pass-by – which is a portion of newly generated offsite traffic originating from the adjacent streets, seeing the gas station, and making an on the spot decision to enter onsite and
utilize the station
Destination or Net New Trips – again, this a portion of newly generated offsite traffic, but they have made the decision to travel to the shopping center with the expressed desire to
utilize the gas station only, and then leave without utilizing the shopping center for any other business.
The criteria is summarized on the screen:
As discussed in your report, the proposal is consistent with the these criteria.
Staff primarily focused on traffic and circulation related to the proposed gas station*…I will focus on this.

Traffic
The existing total shopping center has the potential of generating 19,243 ADT and 1597 PH (PM) trips with a distribution as noted on the previous slide:
According to the newly generated offsite traffic volumes represented in the applicant’s traffic analysis, this project will add approximately 20% additional trips to the two driveway
ingress/egress points on 1st Ave.
This equates to approximately 70 new trips in the peak hour at the signal on 1st Ave.
And 28 new trips in the peak hour at the 1st Avenue right-in/right-out pork chop just to the east.
The criteria is summarized on the screen:
As discussed in your report, the proposal is consistent with the these criteria.
Staff primarily focused on traffic and circulation related to the proposed gas station*…I will focus on this.

Proposed fuel center will displace approximately 43 parking spaces..
- expect these* parking fields to be better utilized
Displaced parking = minimal impact

Nakoma Sky
Planned Area Development Amendment
Town Council
November 4, 2015
91
Purpose
Planned Area Development Amendment:
1) Land Uses
2) Tentative Development Plan
3) Architecture and building massing
Tentative Development Plan
Architecture / Building Massing
Thank you Mr. Mayor, Town Council, I’m Chad Daines…
Our purpose here tonight is to consider the applicants request for a Planned Area Development Amendment for the Nakoma Sky senior living project
The requested change basically has three elements which I’ll cover in my presentation:
First: The applicant proposes changes in the allowed land uses within the development
Second: The applicant proposes a number of changes to the Tentative Development Plan which was adopted in conjunction with the rezoning
Last, the applicant proposes changes to the architectural concept and building massing for the project
92
Location
Oracle Road
1st Avenue
Naranja Drive
Lambert Lane
CDO Wash
This slide shows an overview of the site.
It encompasses 77 acres on the southeast corner of Naranja and 1st Avenue.
North of the site is planned large lot residential
West across 1st Avenue is existing large lot residential
The southern boundary of the site abuts the Canada del Oro wash corridor
You can see the commercial development to the south with the Home Depot and Target shopping centers along Oracle Road
93
Background
Rezoning approved January 2015
Land Uses
Tentative Development Plan
Architectural Concept
Revised plans submitted in June
Staff reviewed against approved plans
“Significant changes” require reconsideration
I wanted to provide a little background on the request.
The Rezoning to PAD was approved in January 2015
Defined land uses allowed within the project
Adopted a Tentative Development Plan to guide development of the property
Adopted a specific architectural concept for the project
The applicant submitted revised plans in June which were reviewed by staff for conformance with the approved PAD.
The revised plans constituted a “significant change” as defined by the Zoning Code and require Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Council reconsideration of the rezoning and the
proposed changes by the applicant.
94
Comparison – Approved and Proposed Plans
Lambert Lane
Approved Plan
Proposed Plan
1st Avenue
This slide shows a side by side comparison of the approved and proposed plans. I’ll go through a summary of the changes proposed by the applicant:
The applicant proposes to move the memory care and assisted living to the main campus core area to locate these uses close to support services within the main campus core. Changed the
independent living area to a parking lot to serve the al/mc. This change really precipitated that balance of the changes in the plan.
The approved plan included a community park located just south of the main campus area. This community park was envisioned as a shared area between residents of Nakoma Sky and members
of the larger community to promote interaction.
The park area is proposed to be split, leaving a private park with amenities south of the main campus building and moving the community park area to First Avenue.
This area along 1st Avenue is impacted by drainage, but the passive amenities (dog park, barbeques, ramadas) planned within the park area can be designed around these drainage corridors.
The balance of this area is proposed for independent living units.
The Planning and Zoning Commission felt it was important to maintain some community level amenities near the main campus building to foster interaction between the community and residents
and has recommended a condition requiring the trailhead area to be enhanced with ramadas, walking paths, drinking fountains to serve the planned trail system along the CDO wash.
Lastly, the applicant has proposed to add a new 81 space parking area near the front of the building for convenient parking for residents and guests. The underground parking area has
not been reduced.
95
Approved Architectural Concept
Resort architectural character
Reduced building heights at ends of buildings
Varied roof/wall planes and architectural features
Variation in materials and colors
Landscaping on terraces
The central element of the project is a five story residential apartment building.
This image is the approved architectural rendering for the project, which can be characterized as resort in appearance with the building materials, terrace landscaping and tower elements
The architectural treatment of the building was fundamental to the original approval and included elements which were designed to reduce the visual impact of the five story building.
These elements included reductions in the ends of the building to step down the building height.
Use of varied roof and wall planes to articulate the building façade
Use of varied materials and colors to modulate the building
Use of landscaped terracing and shade elements to reduce the mass of the building
96
Proposed Architectural Concept
Apartment architectural character
Modified conditions to improve and enhance architectural elements, as determined by Conceptual Design Review Board and Town Council
This image shows the proposed architectural rendering. As you can see, the proposed concept is a different style of architecture than the original, and is more apartment in character
based on the building materials, flatter facades and elimination of the tower elements and reduction in terrace landscaping.
The applicant will be going into a greater level of detail on the proposed architecture.
The Commission has recommended conditions which require this plan to be enhanced and improved to restore the important architectural elements which were included with the original approval.
(building height step downs on ends, varied roof and wall planes, landscaped terracing, architectural features).
So, in short, the Commission felt the proposed architectural concept was a baseline, and the architectural concept needs to go further. The applicant did show improved elevations to
the Commission, which have not been formally reviewed by staff.
The recommended conditions from the Commission require refinement and improvement during the design phase of the project. If approved tonight, the expectation is that a refined design
based on the conditions of approval will be submitted for staff review, with the ultimate design determined by the Conceptual Design Review Board and Town Council.
97
Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval
Conditions to enhance/improve architectural concept and restore some community level amenities south of main campus core
Recommendation
In summary, the Commission has recommended approval of the request, subject to a number of conditions which are aimed at enhancing and improving the architectural concept, as well as
conditions designed to restore some community level amenities south of the main campus core area.
