Town Council Regular Session 1.
Meeting Date:11/01/2023
Presentation of OV's Path Forward
Subject
Progress report on the Community's new 10-year action plan, known as OV's Path Forward
Summary
The path to Oro Valley's future begins now! Residents of all ages and experiences are encouraged to come
together to discuss, collaborate, share ideas and listen to one another to renew the community's vision, goals and
priorities for Oro Valley. This project was kicked-off with the broader community during the State of the Town on
October 25.
The plan, also known as a General Plan, is one of the community's most meaningful opportunities to guide town
actions and get results and make their vision a reality. Community ownership and participation is critical to creating
a plan that is reflective of the community but also stays relevant for a 10-year timeframe. Prioritizing residents'
voices through an inclusive and accessible process was emphasized in the resident-driven Community
Engagement Plan. The steps below were completed to ensure the guiding principles in the engagement plan are
achieved.
Preparations for the launch
January - March 2023 (Community Engagement Plan) - In preparation for launching out to the broader
community, a Community Engagement Plan was adopted by the Town Council. This award-winning plan
was built by residents through an advisory group and a town-wide survey. It provides the foundation for this
effort by identifying guiding principles, such as being accessible and inclusive, and the methods to engage
the community online or at businesses, events, etc.
March - September 2023 (Background Reports) - As part of the launch and ongoing outreach, short videos
and facts about topics important to the community were created and will be released throughout the next 4
months on OVPathForward.com. The community is invited to read, listen and share their thoughts about
topics including housing, public safety, water, environmental conservation, and much more!
September - October 2023 (Branding) - The resident advisory group regrouped to help shape the branding
for this effort. Key aspects of the project's branding include showcasing Oro Valley's authentic beauty and
exemplifying the community. The following tasks are part of the ongoing effort to have an inclusive and
accessible process:
Developing surveys
Refining schedules to include a variety of engagement opportunities
Assigning staff to specific engagement tools and events
Designing and ordering promotional materials, such as flyers, brochures, stickers and more.
Selecting and launching a new specialized and interactive website that features community
engagement tools (e.g. discussion boards, polls, etc.).
Recruiting volunteers and ambassadors to help spread the word and gather feedback
Community feedback
Over the next year, substantial community engagement will be conducted in-person and online through events,
discussion or social media posts, surveys and more. Community participation and ownership is key for this effort to
be successful and for producing an actionable plan that remains relevant for a 10-year timeframe.
To start the conversation and develop the community's vision and guiding principles, the following three questions
will be asked:
will be asked:
What do you like best about Oro Valley?
What do you think will be Oro Valley's biggest challenges in the next 10 years?
What should Oro Valley be known for?
To date, these questions have been asked during the associated Community Academy class and at the State of
the Town. Some early themes include:
A sense of community, beauty, and safety are what people like most about Oro Valley.
Water use, road maintenance, traffic and growth are Oro Valley's biggest challenges.
Being a safe community that is surrounded by beauty is what Oro Valley should be known for.
These comments are just a start to many opportunities to learn from the community.
Next steps
This progress report is the first of many that will be presented to the Town Council and the wider community.
Routine updates through presentations and Council reports highlighting key milestones will be provided
throughout the next year. Upcoming milestones include:
Key takeaways from the community's discussion about each topic and key areas of focus for the plan
Findings from a town-wide statistically-valid survey
Reflecting the community's vision and guiding principles
Over the next three years, the community will work on creating the next 10-year action plan. Please join the
conversation now by going online or meeting staff or volunteers out in the community at restaurants,
events, or shops. Learn more at OVPathForward.com.

Subject
Presentation of the 26th Annual Oro Valley Community Academy Graduates
Summary
The purpose of this presentation is to recognize the graduates of the 26th Annual Oro Valley Community
Academy class. Community Academy provides a fun and highly engaging opportunity for residents to learn more
about the Town. This year's academy focused on key elements that will be further discussed with the broader
community through the creation of the Town's next general plan, OV's Path Forward.

the following topics:

Housing and Development Trends3.
Zoning 101 and the Development Review Process 4.
An overview of Town Finances and Economic Development 5.

to attending the classes, participants were encouraged throughout the program to apply for the board/commission
vacancies currently available. Staff anticipate several will seize the opportunity to stay involved.
This year's academy was attended by 45 residents either online or in-person and 41 (91%) are well on their way
to graduating (attending at least 4 classes). The opportunity to participate in-person and online continues to

STUDY SESSION AGENDA
1.DISCUSSION ONLY WITH TOWN COUNCIL, BOARD AND COMMISSION MEMBERS,
YOUTH ADVISORY COUNCIL AND PUBLIC ATTENDEES REGARDING THE PROJECT
IDENTITY, INCLUDING THE NAME OF THE UPCOMING GENERAL PLAN
Planning Manager Bayer Vella introduced the evening's agenda item and emphasized the
intent of the meeting is to provide guidance on the branding and marketing for the General
Plan, before launching to the broader community. He reviewed instructions for online Zoom
participants.
Misti Nowak, Communications and Marketing Administrator, spoke on the process of marketing
and branding the General Plan. Even though the Gordley Group was hired, community input,
including shared values and aspirations, helps guide the process. The "feel" of the place can
only come from its residents. The "function" comes from the design team. The final design
should be simple enough to have a strong presence, but also allow for possibilities. Ms. Nowak
provided an example of a successful Oro Valley branding package with two different logos for
the Town, how they are used and the different feelings they create.
Jan Gordley, with the Gordley Group, spoke about working with the Town's high standards and
her team.She reviewed the do's and dont's regarding branding. The focus of the
branding/marketing should be authentic to the community, inviting and appealing, memorable
and recognizable, and very clear, with the ability to build on the essence of the message. Ms.
Gordley reviewed the aspects of creating a cohesive brand. She reviewed the past General
Plan brand and the community engagement plan.
Richie Brevaire, with the Gordley Group, reviewed the results of the surveys and exercises
from the last meeting, focusing on the key phrases and words for community, progress, Oro
Valley and core values.
Heather Valdez, with the Gordley Group, unveiled the new brand the team designed: Oro
Valley's Path Forward - Planning Together for Our Future. She reviewed the process of taking
all the feedback received and how it was incorporated.
Long Range Principal Planner Milini Simms posed questions to the group and discussion
ensued. Ms. Simms thanked the group for all of their input and participation. She asked the
group to please keep the new brand under wraps, as it is still be finalized and will be unveiled at
the State of the Town event.

financial, contractual or other interest(s) with an organization regulated by NHTSA or with an
organization whose interests may be substantially affected by NHTSA activities, and which are related

PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RESOLUTION:
Agency Background:
Number of sworn officers: 106
Total Population in city/town or county: 47,070
Total Road Mileage: Highway: 55 Local: 418 Total: 473
Agency Problem/Attempts to Solve Problem:
The Oro Valley Police Department has conducted a 2 year review of data related to traffic enforcement efforts.
Total traffic contacts have unfortunately decreased from 17,256 to 14,223. To note in this decrease was the
significant increase in the turnover of officers due to retirements and other reasons. A total of 22 new hires
started with the Oro Valley Police Department in 2022. This was a turnover of over 20% of the total certified
personnel. The time and effort expended on training all of these new officers has been significant and has led
to officers not having as much time for more proactive traffic enforcement.
Agency Funding:
Federal 402 funds will support Personnel Services (Overtime), Employee Related Expenses, and Materials and
Supplies: Exam Gloves, Phlebotomy Supply Kits, Blood Alcohol Kits to enhance DUI/Impaired Driving
Enforcement throughout the Town of Oro Valley.
How Agency Will Solve Problem with Funding:
The Oro Valley Police Department (OVPD) is an active participating agency of the Southern Arizona DUI Task
Force and remains committed to the goals and objectives of the task force. Historically, OVPD participates in
12 region-wide multi-agency DUI interdiction deployments. Moreover, OVPD conducts high visibility
saturation patrols with partner agencies. OVPD is requesting alternative revenue sourcing to ensure active
participation in regional impaired driving abatement efforts along with equipment for collection and processing
of evidence of Impaired Driving Crimes. Arizona Governor's Office of Highway Safety funding, will ensure
continued active participation in this public safety partnership.

expressly agreed that this Highway Safety Project constitutes an official part of the STATE's Highway
Safety Program and that AGENCY will meet the requirements as set forth in the accompanying Project
Director's Manual, which are incorporated herein and made a part of this Grant Agreement. All State
and Federal Statutes, Rules, Regulations, and Circulars referenced in this Grant Agreement are a part
of this document as if fully set forth herein. It is also agreed that no work will be performed nor any
obligation incurred until AGENCY is notified in writing that this project has been approved by the
Governor's Highway Safety Representative.

SUBJECT:
Resolution No. (R)23-43, authorizing and approving an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the Town of
Oro Valley and the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) for the design and construction of traffic signal
modifications to the existing traffic signals at the intersections of Tangerine Road at 1st Avenue and at La Canada
Drive
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The project under this IGA consists of the modification of existing traffic signals at the intersections of Tangerine
Road at 1st Avenue, and Tangerine Road at La Canada Drive. The project includes the replacement of existing
left-turn signal heads and traffic signal cabinets at each intersection to facilitate the operation of a flashing yellow
left-turn arrow for all directions at both intersections.
The total project cost is estimated at $569,455 and is fully funded by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). Since this project is funded federally, ADOT will assist the Town
with implementation of the project (design, construction, and overall administration), in accordance with the
requirements regarding the use of federal funds. The Town of Oro Valley's comments will be incorporated into the
project.
ADOT has selected Kimley-Horn as the design consultant and the scoping process started on October 19, 2023.
Engineering staff anticipates the design to be complete at the end of 2024 and construction in the spring of 2025.
A more defined schedule will be provided once the IGA between the Town and ADOT has been executed.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
On February 17, 2023, ADOT notified the Town that traffic signal modifications at two intersections in Oro Valley
were identified by a state oversight program that reviews network crash data in Arizona. ADOT determined that
this project met all requirements and is consistent with the State's 2019 Strategic Highway Safety Plan. It supports
the 'intersections' emphasis area of the program by implementing an 'infrastructure upgrade or improvement'.
On April 28, 2023, Pima Association of Governments (PAG) approved Amendment #2022.063 to include funding
for the project. Since ADOT has initiated the Project Development Process, it agreed to administer the project,
which was assigned a Federal ID No. of ORV-0(205)T and an ADOT Project No. of T0474. ADOT has selected
Kimley-Horn as the design consultant. The scoping process started on October 19, 2023 and ADOT is anticipated
to sign a contract and give notice to proceed by early January 2024.
The next steps will include a Design Concept Report, clearances for environmental, right-of-way (ROW) and
utilities. The project is non-ground disturbing, so geotechnical, pavement, environmental, drainage, and
landscaping are not applicable to the design process. The project is within existing Town ROW and has already
been reviewed for traffic by the state oversight program. Detailed coordination with Town staff will be required
during the design so that modifications are compatible with existing equipment at the intersection. Kimley-Horn
has arranged for over-the shoulder review meetings to move the project through design without delays.
The design phase is expected to be complete by late 2024 and the project will advertise for construction in early
2025. Construction on the project will be quick. Accounting for equipment lead times, the project is expected to be

Department of Transportation, dated April 9, 2015, Attachment A, page A-1, the Arizona Department of
Transportation, Traffic Safety Section (TSS) has determined that the Town of Oro Valley’s request to
utilize HSIP funds for a safety countermeasure (project) to install safety improvements as outlined below
is eligible for the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funding.
The safety improvements include the installation of flashing yellow arrows at two intersections:
Tangerine Road and 1st Avenue and Tangerine Road and La Canada Drive.
All work will be performed by contract and ground disturbing activities are not anticipated. No utility
relocations are anticipated.
ADOT has determined that, in accordance with 23 USC 148(a)(4))(A), this project is consistent with the
State's 2019 Strategic Highway Safety Plan. It supports the “Intersections” emphasis area by
implementing the “infrastructure upgrade or improvement” strategy.

the CMF Clearinghouse, the Town of Oro Valley could see a 5-year reduction of 0.74 fatal and 0.37
suspected serious injury crashes at these two intersections. Based on the above CRF, a B/C ratio of 16.9
was calculated.
The funding for this project is established under the ADOT HSIP and is eligible to be funded at 100% HSIP
federal funds and 0.0% local match as described in Code of Federal Register 23 CFR Part 924 (Ref:
Highway Safety Improvement Program [HSIP], Arizona Department of Transportation [ADOT],
Transportation Systems Management and Operations, Traffic Safety Section, February 2022; 1.1.4
Funding, Federal Share). The Town of Oro Valley anticipates the total design/construction cost of this
countermeasure at $569,455.00 (Enclosure 1) as shown below.
Anticipated Costs:
Anticipated Design/ADOT Admin – FY24 Anticipated Construction – FY25
HSIP (100%) $ 261,050.00 HSIP (100%) $ 308,405.00
Local Match (0%) $ 0.00 Local Match (0%) $ 0.00
Total $ 261,050.00 Total $ 308,405.00
Please note that eligibility does not give the Town of Oro Valley authorization to begin work. A JPA will
need to be completed between the Town of Oro Valley and ADOT prior to Federal authorization being
requested. All ADOT clearances will need to be completed. Any work performed prior to federal
authorization is not eligible for reimbursement.
The following will require a revised HSIP eligibility letter prior to ADOT finance requesting Federal
authorization:
1. The project scope of work or the limits of the project change. A request for a new eligibility
letter will need to be submitted outlining the changes and justification.
2. Anticipated cost estimate exceeds the above approved HSIP eligibility.
a) A request for a new eligibility letter will need to be submitted outlining all increased costs,
justification, source of additional funds and revised total anticipated cost, if the total
anticipated cost exceeds 20% of the above amount.
b) For anticipated cost increase less than 20% of the above amount, the HSIP Program
Manager can be advised of the increased cost, justification and funding source by email.
Federal authorization cannot be requested until after the Program Manager has notified
FHWA of the approved increase by email.

SUBJECT:
* 1 2. RESOLUTION NO. (R)23-42, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING TOWN OF ORO
VALLEY SPONSORSHIP POLICIES FOR COMMUNITY EVENTS AND TOURISM EVENTS AND
DELEGATIONS OF AUTHORITY THAT ALLOW THE TOWN MANAGER TO SIGN SPONSORSHIP
AGREEMENTS
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval as presented or amended by Town Council.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Note: The CED Director included the following text in Section 5 of both agreements to ensure that it is clear the
Town Manager has authority to sign sponsorship agreements:
The Town Manager shall have the authority to enter into approved sponsorship agreements on behalf of
the Town.
This is the only change in the draft sponsorship policies Town Council reviewed during the Study Session on
October 18, 2023.
The Community and Economic Development Department began administering the Town's special events process
and tourism initiatives in December 2022. Since that time, questions have arisen regarding Town policy related to
sponsorship of tourism-related and community special events. Staff has broken down special events into two
categories: Community Events and Tourism Events. Community events are those that focus more on local
festivals, or special events that play an important role in promoting the Town’s brand as a unique, safe, culturally
diverse, and charitable community. In contrast, Tourism Events are those produced events, local festivals, or
special events that propose a well-defined, tourism-related economic impact and play an important role in
promoting the Town’s tourism and economic development objectives.
Prior to December 2022, the Town did not have a defined policy regarding sponsorship of any special events, and
the Town Manager signed sponsorship agreements such as one for the Tucson Bicycle Classic and the
Community and Economic Development Director signed the sponsorship agreement for the Tucson Audubon
Festival in August 2022 via implied authorities via the annual budget and allocation of sponsorship funding. Thus,
Community and Economic Development Department staff began developing policies to address each type of
event sponsorship. The Community Event Sponsorship Policy requirements place an emphasis on branding while
the Tourism Event Sponsorship Policy places an emphasis on the estimated economic impact of an event and
branding of the Town as a unique visitor destination.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
In addition to the policy requirements, the Community and Economic Development Department has allocated
In addition to the policy requirements, the Community and Economic Development Department has allocated
$30,000 to sponsor tourism-related events and $10,000 to sponsor community events via the Town's Annual
Budget. Community event sponsorships are capped at $2,500 per year for three years with the intent of
establishing a qualifying event so that it can function on its own. There is not a cap on tourism-related
sponsorships.
Current sponsorships include the American Legion annual events at the El Conquistador and the Tucson
Audubon Partnership. Future opportunities include sponsorship of the OV Triathlon, Off the Vine, and and
Extension of the Tucson Bicycle Classic. Current community event sponsorships include Rockin4Heroes and the
Veterans Memorial Run.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Not applicable.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
I MOVE to (Approve or Deny) Resolution No. (R)23-42, approving the Community Event and Tourism
Sponsorship Policies and delegate authority to the Town Manager to sign sponsorship agreements.

Meeting Date:11/01/2023
Requested by: Bayer Vella, Community and Economic Development
Submitted By:Kyle Packer, Community and Economic Development
Case Number:2301320
SUBJECT:
PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION REGARDING A PROPOSED ZONING CODE AMENDMENT TO ALLOW
MOBILE FOOD UNIT COURTS AS A CONDITIONAL USE WITHIN C-N, C-1, AND C-2 COMMERCIAL ZONES
AND DEVELOP ASSOCIATED STANDARDS
RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for discussion only.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The purpose of this item is to discuss a possible zoning code amendment (Attachment 1) to allow Mobile Food
Unit Courts as a use requiring a Conditional Use Permit within the Town's primary commercial zones (C-N, C-1,
C-2) and associated development standards. This item was initiated by the Planning and Zoning Commission at
their May 2, 2023 Regular Session.
The Commission's action is in response to a pre-application for such a use, and a lack of permissions and
standards within the Oro Valley Zoning Code Revised. An entrepreneur is interested in developing a Mobile Food
Unit Court next to the CDO River Path within Mercado Del Rio commercial development (Pusch View Lane - just
east of the Rooney Ranch Target).
More commonly known as a Food Truck Court or Park, these areas are developed to enable multiple Mobile Food
Units (food trucks, trailers with kitchens, push-carts, etc.) to be parked for longer periods of time than a food truck
attending a special event like a car-show, or visiting an area like a construction site to serve clients throughout
town on an individual basis, as they are currently allowed to do through Oro Valley's zoning and State law. An
example of a Mobile Food Unit Court is shown below.
The following definition is proposed: "A site specifically designed to accommodate multiple mobile food units as
the principal use of the land."
Staff has reviewed zoning codes from over a dozen municipalities across the region, state, and nation, as well as
researched best practices to develop the proposed code amendment, which has the following key elements
proposed:
"Mobile Food Unit Courts" are subject to a Conditional Use Permit, which may only be granted in C-N, C-1,
and C-2 commercial properties after review against the Zoning Code (including CUP criteria),
recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission, and Town Council approval
New specialized standards to ensure quality and safety of Mobile Food Unit Courts are proposed. The aim
is to require a more refined version of a typical Mobile Food Unit Court. Refinements include paved food
truck parking pads, gathering areas, shaded seating, restrooms etc.
As a focus of this agenda item, staff requests Town Council feedback regarding the following:
Definition of Mobile Food Unit Courts
Mobile Food Unit Courts as a Conditional Use, within C-N, C-1, and C-2 commercial zones
Standards for Mobile Food Unit Courts and Units operating within them
Because this is a relatively focused amendment request, the proposed code language is included in Attachment
1 . It has been updated with feedback and recommendations provided by the Planning and Zoning at their October
3rd Study Session. This item is for discussion only.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
BACKGROUND
In March 2023, Town staff received a pre-application request for a proposed Food Truck Court, with a site design
including (among other elements) a restaurant and bar, a centralized park with open seating, and parking for ten
Mobile Food Units, more commonly known as food trucks. This use is not addressed in the current Zoning Code.
Mobile food units are often temporary and transient in nature; in the current Zoning Code, a single food truck is
limited to operating for four hours or less at any single location unless part of a special use or special event
permit. This allows them to visit a site for a single meal period (for example, from 11am-3pm) before relocating.
However, a permanent use designed with the continual presence of food trucks is not currently permitted as this is
a relatively new use to the market. After receiving a request from the pre-applicant to consider a code
amendment, the Planning and Zoning Commission initiated a staff review of the zoning code to consider possible
amendments.
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
A. PROPOSED ZONING AMENDMENT
1. Definition
What is a Mobile Food Unit Court? More commonly known as a Food Truck Court or Park, these are areas that
are privately developed to enable multiple Mobile Food Units (food trucks, trailers with kitchens, push-carts, etc.)
to be parked for longer periods of time than a food truck specifically attending a special event like a car-show, or
visiting an area like a construction site to serve clients for a single meal period throughout town on an individual
basis, as they are currently allowed to do through Oro Valley zoning and State law.
Within the proposed code amendment, the definition for a Mobile Food Unit Court is, "A site specifically designed
to accommodate multiple mobile food units as the principal use of the land." Specific design requirements and
other standards are shared later in this section, and round out the full requirements for Mobile Food Unit Courts
that would operate within the Town under this proposed code amendment.
2. Process
To address this proposed "Food Truck Court" as a new use and ensure adequate standards are applied to such
projects within the Town, staff performed the following:
Identified thirteen jurisdictions from the region, state, and nation with similar codes, as well as best
practices for food truck parks based on standards from the American Planning Association.
1.
Drafted a preliminary Mobile Food Unit Court code.2.
Collaborated with internal departments as well as external groups like the Golder Ranch Fire District to
address questions and concerns regarding the code, and revised the draft code accordingly.
3.
Reached out to original pre-applicants as well as local jurisdictions that are also modifying their Mobile
Food Unit codes to seek feedback and exchange ideas.
4.
Through this process, which to date has run March to October, staff developed a draft code amendment
(Attachment 1).
3. Standards
There are numerous examples of Mobile Food Courts that rely on porta-potty's, unfinished gathering areas, noisy
generators and substandard utility service. The objective in drafting standards is to ensure a well-designed
version of a Mobile Food Court to meet Oro Valley's higher expectations.
To achieve this objective, the following development standards are proposed:
Table 23-1, Permitted Uses, would be modified to add "Mobile Food Unit Court" as a conditional use.
A Conditional Use Permit is required within C-N, C-1, C-2 and equivalent PAD zoning.
Section 25.1, Requirements for Specific Uses, would be modified to include development standards specific
to "Mobile Food Unit Courts". Key requirements include:
An on-site manager during business hours
A commissary building where the following may be provided and/or performed:
A service area for mobile food units, where food, containers, or supplies are stored
Food is prepared or prepackaged for sale
Utensils are cleaned and sanitized
Utensils are cleaned and sanitized
Liquid waste are disposed and potable water is obtained
A centralized landscaped common area with restrooms, shaded seating, and trash receptacles
Improved asphalt or concrete parking stalls for mobile food units with adjacent trash receptacles and
access to potable water and electrical service
No generators are allowed to operate within Mobile Food Unit Courts
Grease traps are required on-site to prevent improper disposal
Limits to the duration a Mobile Food Unit can remain within the Mobile Food Unit Court
Section 27.7, Off-street Parking, would add a parking ratio for Mobile Food Unit Courts, requiring
ten spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of Mobile Food Unit parking pad
Chapter 31, Definitions, would add a definition for "Commissaries", described above, and "Mobile Food Unit
Courts"
An AI-generated image demonstrating hard-surface parking for food trucks, fully shaded seating areas, and
on-site power eliminating generator usage.
In summary, the following is proposed:
An opportunity to request a Conditional Use Permit within C-N, C-1, and C-2 zoning for a newly trending
market use
Standards to ensure high quality design and minimize potential impacts
Amendments that are based on best practices from other jurisdictions and the American Planning
Association
B. GENERAL PLAN COMPLIANCE
Several Your Voice, Our Future General Plan policies stand out as particularly aligned with this proposed code
amendment:
Policy E.1 - Develop a diversified and robust economic base to support long-term economic stability.
This use fosters the exposure and expansion of restaurant start-up businesses. It is not uncommon
for successful food truck operations to eventually open brick and mortar restaurants. Fork & Fire is an
Oro Valley example of a food truck operation making this successful transition.
Policy CC.6 - Promote the creation of unique community gathering places that are inviting, walkable,
attractive and vibrant and offer commercial, entertainment or cultural activity
Mobile Food Unit Courts have the potential to be unique and frequented community gathering places,
even more so when standards are in place to ensure they are well-designed.
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 proposed code amendment expands the Town's land uses while ensuring standards and
processes are in place to ensure compatibility.
C. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION STUDY SESSION
The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the draft code amendment in a study session at their October 3rd
Regular Session. Feedback focused on the proposed development standards, sales tax collections, competition
with brick and mortar restaurants, desire for more dining options, importance of food truck operations to foster
restaurant start-ups and questions regarding existing requirements for individual food trucks.

SUBJECT:
PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION REGARDING A POTENTIAL ZONING CODE AMENDMENT TO AMEND PROVISIONS REGARDING
THE KEEPING OF ANIMALS FOR FOOD PRODUCTION AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY PURPOSES ON RESIDENTIALLY ZONED
PROPERTIES
RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for information and discussion purposes only.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The purpose of this item is to discuss and gather feedback on the proposed code amendment to expand the ability to keep small
agriculture-type animals (chickens, rabbits, etc.) on larger residential properties and improve associated standards. This amendment originates
from a resident’s request to the Planning and Zoning Commission at the May 2, 2023, meeting. As a result, the Planning and Zoning
Commission voted 6-0 to formally initiate this project. The meeting recording is available online.
Over the last few years, some Arizona jurisdictions have implemented sustainability measures by adding new zoning code standards to allow
residents access to a backyard food source and animal husbandry practice, while the Town's zoning codes have not been updated in 20 years.
Moreover, Oro Valley currently has the most restrictive minimum lot size (144,000 square feet) for keeping these types of animals. Many
southern Arizona jurisdictions permit select agriculture type animals on small to medium-sized residential lots.
Current Zoning Code standards only allow the keeping of livestock and small animals for farm and ranch uses on residential properties with lot
sizes greater than 144,000 sq. feet (equal to 3.3 acres), as shown in Figure 1. Farm and ranch uses, as defined in Chapter 31 of the zoning
code, are intended for larger scale production or commercial basis and permitted by right in the residential zoning district R1-144 and requires
a conditional use for the remaining zoning districts R1-7 through R1-72, and R1-300 (Figure 1).
Properties in each approved OV zoning district must have a minimum lot size of 144,000 sq. feet or greater to keep poultry, rabbits, or similar
sized animals. There are exceptions as properties annexed from Pima County retain site specific allowances via translational zoning.
Figure 1: Zoning districts permitted to keep livestock and small animals.
This project entails discussing the potential to expand limited allowances and standards to keep small agriculture type animals in appropriately
sized properties compatible with neighborhood characteristics in medium to large-lot zoning districts. The proposed code amendment seeks to
achieve three potential objectives:
Limited expansion of the ability to keep small animals on residential properties less than 144,000 sq. feet to support resident interest in
local food production and animal husbandry.
1.
Refine existing code to improve agricultural animal related specific standards2.
Distinguish the proposed residential scale keeping of agricultural animals from farm and ranch uses3.
The proposed code amendment primarily focuses on expanding allowances and establishing limits for small animals. Staff is looking for
guidance from Town Council prior to drafting code language. Feedback will be used to help develop proposed code amendments and establish
standards that are in alignment with the community needs and compatible with Oro Valley’s characteristics. Feedback on the following key
items below is needed:
Assess interest in allowing the keeping of small animals as a permitted use for residential properties less than 144,000 sq. feet in size
Identify appropriate residential zoning districts and minimum property size.
Identify small animal types appropriate for Oro Valley.
Establish suitable limits for the number of small animals.
Establish standards to ensure compatibility with residential properties and mitigate nuisance impacts.
Identifying additional stipulations for animal types, when applicable.
Planning staff has preliminarily developed proposed parameters based on findings from research efforts and assessment of current code
standards. These key topics and amendment parameters are summarized below. Additional details are included in Background or Detailed
Information Section of this report. Staff is looking for feedback from Town Council on the following key topics prior to drafting code language.
Key Topic #1: Expand Allowances to Keep Small Animals Appropriate of Oro Valley as a Permitted Use
Research:
Permitted animal types and classification vary widely by jurisdiction. Staff identified ten jurisdictions similar to Oro Valley to identify
animal types and limits, as shown in Figure 2 and Attachment 1 - Jurisdiction Research Matrix. Poultry, rabbits and other small
animals are currently allowed in Oro Valley for farm and ranch use. It is a permitted use in residential zoning district R1-144, and
requires a conditional use permit (CUP) for R1-7 through R1-72, and R1-300.
Proposed Amendment Goals and Recommendation:
Pursue a comprehensive update to refine existing code language and define permitted small animal types appropriate for Oro
Valley and compatible for neighborhood characteristics.
Amend the Zoning Code to expand farm and ranch use provisions to allow keeping of animals for food production and animal
husbandry.
Staff recommends expanding farm and ranch use allowances for residential properties less than 144,000 sq. feet.
Figure 2: Permitted small animals by peers and Oro Valley Zoning Code.
Key Topic #2: Establish Suitable Limits for Number of Small Animals
Research:
Staff compared ten peer jurisdictions and identified best practices to establish animal limits. A majority of jurisdictions utilize a limit
based on the size of the lot and animal type. Oro Valley Zoning Code establishes limits for livestock as one livestock per 30,000
sq feet. Limitations for poultry and similar small animals are undefined, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2.
Proposed Amendment Goals and Recommendations:
Establish small animal limits compatible with neighborhood characteristics.
Define animal limits based on property size and animal size (e.g. small animal or livestock).
Staff recommends establishing quantity limits that are based on animal size and appropriate of the size of the property.
Key Topic #3: Identify Appropriate Residential Zoning Districts
Research:
Current zoning code standards permit the keeping of livestock and small animals on properties with minimum lot size of 144,000
sq. feet. Minium lot size thresholds for peer jurisdictions range from 1,000 sq. feet for Tucson and Marana to 35,000 sq. feet for
Mesa.
Proposed Amendments, Goals and Recommendations:
Establish a conservative minimum lot size to ensure compatibility with neighborhood characteristics, while maintaining setback
requirements.
Staff recommends allowing small animals on residential properties greater than 20,000 sq. feet in zoning districts R1-20
and above.
Key Topic #4: Establish Property Standards for Neighborhood Compatibility and Nuisance Control
Research:
Property standards, such as minimum lot size, setback requirements, property maintenance standards, and screening
requirements are keystone zoning code elements used by jurisdictions to mitigate nuisances associated with the keeping of small
agricultural type animals.
Proposed Amendment Goals and Recommendations:
Ensure compatibility with neighborhood characteristics by maintaining property standards.
Staff recommends the following property standards:
Animals must be kept in the rear and side yards.
Coops and pens are subject to the main building setback standards for the zoning district.
Animals and enclosures must be maintained to mitigate odor, noise, and other nuisances.
Key Topic #5: Identify Additional Stipulations for Animal Types
Research:
The majority of jurisdictions apply additional stipulations based on specific animal types. This includes prohibiting animals due to
noise propensity or requiring additional lot size thresholds. Oro Valley zoning code only specifically restricts swine as an approved
animal type.
Proposed Amendment Goals and Recommendations:
Sharpen existing code language to prohibit roosters, male fowl, hogs.
Support best practices for animal husbandry to craft appropriate property standards.
Oro Valley’s Zoning Code has not been updated in over 20 years and is relatively restrictive compared to surrounding jurisdictions. Staff is
proposing changes to the Zoning Code that are intended to address the findings above and are discussed in detail in the following section. The
proposed changes aim to update existing code standards and expand use allowances for larger lots greater than 20,000 sq. feet. Additionally,
the code amendment parameters aim to establish standards that are in alignment with Oro Valley’s characteristics. The intent of the proposed
amendment is to take a conservative approach that prioritizes compatibility with neighbors.
As part of the presentation and discussion, staff will also provide understanding regarding the issues related to allowing keeping animals by
right on what is deemed a property of appropriate size versus requiring a use permit to do the same.
Staff have received several letters from interested residents which have been included in Attachment 3 - Resident Comment Letters.
The findings and proposed goals and amendment recommendations were presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission on October 3,
2023, for discussion and feedback. Once feedback is received from Town Council, planning staff will begin drafting amendments to the Zoning
Code. Specific Zoning Code changes will then be presented at a public hearing to the Planning and Zoning Commission and ultimately to Town
Council for consideration.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
This code amendment comes from a constituent request to the Planning and Zoning Commission during the May 2, 2023, meeting. The
Planning & Zoning Commission formally voted 6-0 to initiate this project to draft a code amendment to potentially allow small agricultural related
animals on residential lots. Staff has historically received general inquiries from residents regarding allowances to keep agriculture type
animals on residential properties. While the number of inquiries are not tracked it does provide a representative gauge of a potential reoccurring
community need. This code amendment does not directly correspond to specific General Plan action items, nor is it a pending project from
Town Council's Strategic Leadership Plan.
Animal husbandry and backyard farming practice is growing land use trend. Many Pima County jurisdictions have addressed this demand by
allowing small animals and farming practices on small to medium-sized residential properties. Oro Valley zoning code standards for animal
keeping have not been updated in over 20 years. The proposed code amendment is seeking to expand permitted agricultural uses on residential
properties less than 144,000 sq. feet and refine existing standards for farm and ranch uses.
Existing Standards:
The zoning code currently permits farming and ranching for single-family residential (SFR) zoning district R1-144 and as a conditional use for
SFR zoning districts R1-7, R1-20, R1-36, R1-43, R1-72, and R1-300. Figure 1 provides an overview of agriculture type animals permitted for
farm and ranch uses by zoning districts. A minimum lot size for 144,000 square feet (equal to 3.3 acres) is required to keep agriculture animals
in all of the aforementioned zoning districts.
Figure 1: Zoning districts permitted to keep livestock and small animals.
Code Amendment Objectives:
The proposed amendment would expand Zoning Code provisions to allow small agriculture type animals on residential properties less than
144,000 sq. feet to support resident’s interests and desires for local food production and animal husbandry practices. This demand for
“backyard farming” is an evolving land use trend several jurisdictions have implemented to allow residents access to a food source and animal
husbandry practices. Many southern Arizona jurisdictions permit agriculture type animals on small to medium-sized residential lots.
Additionally, the Town's standards are the most restrictive in Pima County relative to the keeping of small agricultural type animals.
Staff is looking for guidance from Town Council prior to drafting code language. Feedback will be used to develop the proposed code
amendments and establish standards that are in alignment with the community needs and compatible with Oro Valley’s characteristics.
Feedback on the following key items below is needed.
Assess interest in allowing the keeping of small animals as a permitted use for residential properties less than 144,000 sq. feet in size
Identify appropriate residential zoning districts and minimum property size.
Identify small animal types appropriate for Oro Valley.
Establish suitable limits for the number of small animals.
Establish standards to ensure compatibility with residential properties and mitigate nuisance impacts.
Identifying additional stipulations for animal types, when applicable.
Key Topic Areas:
Planning staff conducted extensive research to gather information from professional resources, reviewed zoning codes of similar jurisdictions
such as Flagstaff, AZ, Gilbert, AZ, Scottsdale, AZ, Placer County, CA, and Brighton CO. Additionally, staff conducted interviews with
municipality counterparts Tucson, AZ, Sahuarita, AZ, and Marana, AZ for best practice insights. Research and assessment efforts also
included identifying areas in Oro Valley's Zoning Code to refine code standards for clarification and cohesiveness. Below is a summary of the
findings and proposed amendment goals with detailed information provided in the attachments. Feedback is needed on the following key topic
items below:
Key Topic #1: Expand Allowances to Keep Small Animals Appropriate for Oro Valley as a Permitted Use.
Research:
Many Arizona jurisdictions have implemented new zoning code standards to allow residents access to backyard food sources as a
means to support sustainability efforts. Standards and allowances vary widely by jurisdictions related to permitted animal types
and classification (small animal compared to livestock). Staff identified ten jurisdictions most compatible with Oro Valley to identify
animal types and limits, as shown in Figure 2 and Attachment 1 - Jurisdiction Research Matrix. The Town's zoning code have not
been updated in 20 years. Currently, Oro Valley allows keeping of poultry, rabbits and similar small animals for farm and ranch
uses. Farming and ranching is a permitted use in residential zoning district R1-144, and requires a conditional use permit
(CUP) for R1-7 through R1-72, and R1-300 for properties greater than 144,000 sq. feet. Keeping of small animals is a permitted
use in small to medium-size residential districts for many peer jurisdictions.
Proposed Amendment Goals and Recommendations:
Pursue a comprehensive update to refine existing code language and define permitted small animal types appropriate for Oro
Valley and compatible for neighborhood characteristics.
Amend the Zoning Code to expand farm and ranch use provisions to allow keeping of animals for food production and animal
husbandry.
Staff recommends expanding farm and ranch use allowances for residential properties less than 144,000 sq. feet.
Figure 2: Permitted small animals by peers and Oro Valley Zoning Code.
Key Topic #2 : Establish Suitable Limits for Number of Small Animals
Research:
Staff compared ten peer jurisdictions to identity best practices including establishing animal quantity limits. The majority of
jurisdictions (80%) utilized a limit based on the size of the lot and animal type. Other methods include implementing a flat capped
amount (30%) or using a point-per-animal unit system (13%). Attachment 2 - Animal Limits Research Findings provides a
snapshot summary of the different limit calculations and findings. Oro Valley Zoning Code establishes animal limits for livestock at
a rate of one livestock per 30,000 sq feet. Limitations for poultry and similar small animal are undefined, as shown in Figure 1 and
Figure 2. Staff utilized existing limits per Town Zoning code, findings from other jurisdictions, and animal care requirements to
develop a proposed animal limit matrix as shown in Figure 3.
Proposed Amendment Goals and Recommendations:
Establish small animal limits compatible with neighborhood characteristics.
Define animal limits based on property size and animal size (e.g. small animal or livestock).
Staff recommends establishing quantity limits that are based on animal size and appropriate of the size of the property.
Figure 3: Proposed limitations on number of animals based on property size.
Key Topic #3: Identify Appropriate Residential Zoning Districts
Research:
Current zoning code standards permits keeping of livestock and small animals on properties with minimum lot size of 144,000 sq.
feet. Minium lot size thresholds for jurisdictions range from 1,000 sq feet (Tucson, AZ and Marana, AZ) to 8,000 sq feet
(Sahuarita, AZ) and up to 35,000 sq. feet (Mesa, AZ), as shown in Figure 4. The average minimum lot size for peer jurisdictions
is approximately 9,000 sq feet. Staff conducted GIS analysis to identify the applicability of this proposed amendment. Specifically,
identifying properties in Oro Valley properties with lot sizes over 20,000 sq. feet, as shown in the Figure 5. A key takeaway from
the analysis found many properties under 20,000 are located within Homeowner’s Association (HOA) communities. Many HOA
regulations prohibit residents from keeping animals, therefore properties under 20,000 sq. feet were removed as potential
minimum lot size thresholds. Additional notable takeaways includes the zoning districts displayed in Figure 5 shows the majority of
applicable properties are R1-20 and above districts.
Proposed Amendments Goals and Recommendations:
Establish a conservative minimum lot size to ensure compatibility with neighborhood characteristics, while maintaining setback
requirements.
Staff recommends allowing small animals on residential properties greater than 20,000 sq. feet in zoning districts R1-20
and above.
Figure 4: Minium lot size required to keep small animals.
Figure 5: Map of non-homeowner association properties with lots greater than 20,000 sq feet.
Key Topic #4: Establish Property Standards for Neighborhood Compatibility and Nuisance Control
Research:
Property standards, such as minimum lot size, setback requirements, property maintenance standards, and screening
requirements are keystone zoning code elements used by jurisdictions to mitigate nuisances. Setback requirements are used to
ensure compatibility with neighboring properties and retain neighborhood characteristics. Property standards vary widely by
jurisdictions as noted in Attachment 1 - Jurisdiction Research Matrix. In addition to setback requirements, property standards are
used to restrict placement of detached structures such as animal coops and pens. Oro Valley Zoning Code restricts detached
structures from the front yard in all single-family residential districts except R1-144 and R1-300 due larger lot sizes in these zoning
districts.
Proposed Amendment Goals and Recommendations:
Ensure compatibility with neighborhood characteristics utilizing property standards.
Staff recommends the following property standards:
Animals must be kept in the rear and side yards.
Coops and pens are subject to the main building setback standards for the zoning district.
Animals and enclosures must be maintained to mitigate odor, noise, and other nuisances.
Key Topic #5: Identify Additional Stipulations for Animal Types
Research:
The majority of jurisdictions apply additional stipulations based on specific animal types. This includes prohibiting animals due to
noise propensity or requiring additional lot miniums thresholds. For example, many jurisdictions prohibit roosters or other male fowl
as a permitted animal type due to noise impacts to neighboring properties. Jurisdictions such as Flagstaff, AZ imposed additional
limitations on quantity and minium property size for beekeeping. Currently, Oro Valley zoning code only specifically restricts swine

The intent of the proposed amendment parameters is to take a conservative approach that prioritizes compatibility with neighbors. Staff is
looking for direction from Town Council on the key code elements listed above prior to drafting code language.
Planning and Zoning Commission:
The proposed amendment parameters were presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission on October 3, 2023, for discussion and
feedback. The meeting recording is available online. Comments from the Planning and Zoning Commission included the following topics:
Identifying appropriate lot size requirements.
Nuisance impacts to neighbors due to odor and noise.
Potential impacts on Town staff time and resources.
Comments and feedback from the Planning and Zoning Commission will be used to develop specific Zoning Code changes and addressed in
the amendment parameters. Planning staff will begin drafting amendments to the Zoning Code once feedback is received from Town Council.
SUMMARY:
This item is being presented for discussion to obtain feedback from Town Council, specifically the key items listed below:

Hello Alex and Team,
My daughter Savanna and I wrote to the Town staff in April of this year to request the Oro Valley
Planning Commission initiate a code amendment. We have been fortunate enough to be a part of the
process since that time and are elated that there is now an amendment draft under review! I want to
provide insight on some common concerns I’ve heard as a current hen owner and be so bold as to
request changes to some details.
As far as lot size affected by the amendment, my thought is that there are very few lots outside of an
HOA, even fewer as small as .2-acre outside of an HOA. It’s my understanding that any lots within an
HOA would be governed by those rules, including urban agriculture. As a result, the majority of OV
residents (those within an HOA) will be unaffected.
Regarding noise and waste, there are already ordinances in place which would continue to be applied.
We find our hens to be less noisy than most dogs, particularly at night when they are roosting. In fact we
had as many as 8 hens 10 feet from our master bedroom for years without issue, while we’ve had
neighbors whose dog(s) barking at all hours of the night has been a nuisance. For waste, chicken
droppings are a natural fertilizer and any not used for this purpose is easily disposed same as other
domesticated animal waste.
In the seemingly rare case of a small food-producing animal on the loose, there has to be a much larger
risk of losing the animal to predators than that animal doing any damage.
As far as the specifics of the amendment, we ask that the Town consider a higher number of food-
producing animals and an exemption for active members of non-profit agricultural organizations to align
with City of Tucson. Our current flock of 6 hens produce on average ~2 eggs/day, which is enough to
supplement our family of four’s use but not replace. Our passion is to be able to encourage responsible
growing of natural, organic food products to reduce our dependence on factory farming as much as
possible. I realize this takes a higher level of responsibility than most, which membership in an Ag club
would support. Note that the draft’s allowance of 9 hens on our 1-acre non-HOA lot means that hens
may only be bought locally and in-season (spring), as hatcheries have a standard minimum order
quantity of 10.
Thank you for all of your work on this! We look forward to continuing down this path with Town of Oro
Valley!
Sincerely,
Ben and Savanna Randall

•Keeping small animals is often a permitted use
•Permitted uses can include specific restrictions
•Conditional uses are not common
Options and Recommendations
Update existing Zoning code language:
•Restrict standards for farm and ranch uses
•Expand allowances for small agriculture animals
•Identify small ag. animals appropriate for Oro Valley
Amend allowances as a permitted use.
•Conditional use permit (CUP) is a relatively intensive process
•Planning & Zoning Administrator discretionary review

Key Topic #4: Establish Restrictive Property Standards
Existing:
OV setback requirements for R1-144 and R1-300 are more restrictive to keep livestock and poultry
Properties are subject to Town property maintenance code
Nuisances regulated by Town code and Pima County animal control regulations
Research:
Property standards are critical to mitigate nuisance impacts.
Jurisdictions commonly restrict animal to rear yards with specific setback requirements.
Options and Recommendations:
Animals must be kept in the rear and side yards.
Coops and pens are subject to the main building setbackstandards for the zoning district.
Animals and enclosures must be maintained tomitigate odor, noise, and other nuisances.
Shift enforcement burden from OVPD to Zoning Enforcement
Objective: Create restrictive standards to mitigate nuisance
impacts to ensure compatibility with neighbors

Key Topic #5: Identify Additional Stipulations
Existing Standards:
Current Town standards only prohibits swine
Findings:
Additional property standards and lot size
restrictions needed for specific animal types
•Additional setback distance for apiaries
•Restrictions for keeping roosters
Options and Recommendations:
Amend zoning code language to prohibit roosters, male fowl, and hogs.
Require a minimum lot size of no less than one acre to keep bees on a property.
Objective: Sharpen code language for specific
animal types to ensure compatibility with
neighboring properties.
