To All, today is my last day with Mark‐Taylor Development, Inc. and prior to leaving I wanted to express
my thanks for all of the cooperation we have received from the TOV. The project had it’s share of
challenges and hopefully these were dealt with by MTD in a professional manner, and although the
project is not complete we are a month or so from final completion and acceptance and from our
standpoint the TOV personnel all acted in very professional manner. And I would like to add a special
thanks to Tim McGuire who in my opinion is a terrific building inspector. I believe we should all be proud
of this landmark project and one we can all be proud of. Thanks again!

Thanks, Gary. It’s actually unusual in this day and age for city officials
anywhere to have the time to deal with minor things such as this, much
less to care enough to follow through on them, understanding that such
things are not as minor to the people they affect. We are so fortunate
to live in a city like Oro Valley. There are so few of them around.

Meeting Date:05/06/2015
Requested by: Stacey Lemos Submitted By:Wendy Gomez, Finance
Department:Finance
Information
SUBJECT:
Fiscal Year 2014/15 Financial Update through February 2015
RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for information only.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In the General Fund (see attachment A), revenues collected through February totaled $20.4 million or
63.3% of the budget amount of $32.3 million. Year-to-date expenditures through February totaled $20.6
million or 63.4% of the budget amount of $32.5 million. The FY 2014/15 General Fund budget includes a
transfer out of one-time revenues in the amount of $2.7 million to the General Government CIP Fund for
capital projects. Please note that year-to-date expenditures now include approximately two-thirds of this
budgeted transfer out to the General Government CIP Fund of about $1,740,000.
In the Highway Fund (see attachment B), revenues collected through February totaled $2.0 million or
66.4% of the budget amount of $3.0 million. Year-to-date expenditures through February totaled $2.0
million or 47.0% of the budget amount of $4.4 million. It is important to note that the Highway Fund
budget includes the planned use of $1.4 million in reserves, as all construction sales tax revenues are
now fully accounted for in the General Fund.
In the Bed Tax Fund (see attachment C), revenues collected through February totaled $497,114 or 52.4%
of the budget amount of $949,000. Year-to-date expenditures through February totaled $506,811 or
52.7% of the budget amount of $961,000.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
GENERAL FUND
Attachment A shows General Fund revenues and expenditures through February, as well as year-end
estimates for each category. The estimated year-end projections in the General Fund are as follows:
Revenues $31,631,838
Less:
Expenditures ($31,728,692)
Est. Decrease in Fund Balance ($ 96,854)
General Fund Revenues
Local sales tax collections in the General Fund total $10.0 million or 63.7% of the budget amount of
$15.7 million. Sales tax collections in the General Fund are estimated to come in below budget by
approximately $314,000 or 2.0% based on current collections-to-date trending slightly below
budgeted levels. Please see Attachment E for a monthly tracking of General Fund local sales tax
collections, including construction and utility sales tax.
License and permit revenues are estimated to come in under budget by about $310,000 or 17.2%
due primarily to single family residential (SFR) permitting trends. A total of 135 SFR permits are
projected for FY 14/15, compared to the 200 that were budgeted.
Federal grant revenues are estimated to come in over budget by about $65,000 or 10.9% due to
grant funds received for a Police DUI Tahoe and hosting of collision investigation training classes
funded by the Governor's Office of Highway Safety.
State grant revenues are estimated to come in under budget by about $175,000 or 10.9%. Of this
amount, approximately $105,000 reflects RTA reimbursements for Transit, which corresponds to
estimated expenditure savings. Capacity of $75,000 was placed in the budget for potential funding
of a new school resource officer and is not expected to be utilized this fiscal year. Corresponding
personnel savings of $75,000 is included in the Police Department's year-end estimated
expenditures.
Charges for Services revenues are estimated to come in over budget by about $122,000 or 7.2%
due to revenue trends at the Aquatic Center, zoning & subdivision fees, engineer plan review fees
and user fee revenues for field and court rentals.
Fine revenues are estimated to come in under budget by $40,000 or 22.2% based on current
trends and citation filings.
Staff will continue to monitor revenue collections and may adjust the year-end estimates based on actual
trends.
General Fund Expenditures
Expenditures are estimated to come in under budget by approximately $728,000 or 2.2% due
primarily to projected operations and maintenance (O&M) savings by departments, as well as
projected personnel vacancy savings. Due to the observed slowdown in revenue collections, with a
considerable amount classified as one-time, the estimated transfer to the General Government CIP
Fund for one-time capital projects has been reduced by $120,000, which will not affect current year
budgeted projects, but rather the banking of funds for the future PD Property ID and Substation
Building. The timeline on this project is likely to be extended out further, as efforts on securing a
building location are still underway.
HIGHWAY FUND
Highway Fund Revenues
State shared highway user revenue funds (HURF) total $1.8 million or 66.3% of the budget amount
of $2.8 million. Highway Fund revenues in total are expected to come in over budget by about
$140,000 or 4.7% due primarily to HURF revenues. These revenues are up more than 8% over
last fiscal year due to economic growth and Senate Bill 1487, which allocated additional monies to
HURF for FY 14/15. The year-end estimate for HURF revenues was provided by the League of
Arizona Cities & Towns.
Highway Fund Expenditures
Expenditures are estimated to come in on budget at this time.

Town Council Regular Session Item # C.
Meeting Date:05/06/2015
Requested by: Daniel G. Sharp Submitted By:Colleen Muhr, Police Department
Department:Police Department
Information
SUBJECT:
Resolution No. (R)15-33, authorizing and accepting a donation from the Steven M. Gootter Foundation
for the purchase of 12 automated external defibrillators (AEDs)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Steven M. Gootter Foundation is donating 12 automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to the Oro
Valley Police Department.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
AEDs are lifesaving devices administered to sudden cardiac victims within the first 10 minutes of a
cardiac event. Police officers are often the first on the scene when a cardiac event is reported. Sudden
cardiac events are unpredictable, so placing AEDs in patrol vehicles with officers who have been trained
on these devices increases the probability that the victim can be saved.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No immediate fiscal impact. Future costs are projected to include regular maintenance and replacement
parts as recommended by the manufacturer.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
I MOVE to (adopt or deny) Resolution No. (R)15-33, authorizing and accepting a donation from the
Steven M. Gootter Foundation for the purchase of 12 automated external defibrillators (AEDs).

Information
SUBJECT:
Resolution No. (R)15-34, authorizing Verizon Communications, Inc. to sublease the ground lease,
entered with the Town of Oro Valley, to American Tower and subsequently lease back from American
Tower a portion of the site located at 551 W. Lambert Lane
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Verizon Communications, Inc. is interested in subleasing a ground lease, previously entered into with the
Town of Oro Valley, to American Tower Corporation. Verizon subsequently plans to lease back a portion
of the site located at 551 W. Lambert Lane from American Tower Corporation. For Verizon
Communications, Inc. and American Tower Corporation to complete their transaction, the Town will need
to consent to the ground lease's sublease and subsequent lease back pursuant to Section 12 of the
Communications Site Lease Agreement.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
On July 1, 2013, Verizon Communications, Inc. (then Alltel Communications of the Southwest Limited
Partnership) entered into a ground lease agreement with the Town of Oro Valley. On February 5, 2015,
Verizon Communications, Inc. entered into an agreement with American Tower Corporation regarding a
portion of Verizon's tower portfolio. The Town of Oro Valley's ground lease and the site located at 551 W.
Lambert Lane are part of that portfolio.
Verizon Communications is looking to sublease the ground lease for that site to American Tower
Corporation, then lease back portion of the site from American Tower to retain certain rights to continue
to use the portion of the site. To complete this transaction, Verizon Communications, Inc. and American
Tower Corporation need the Town's consent to the ground lease sublease and lease-back.
FISCAL IMPACT:
While the Town will not see a fiscal impact from the subleasing of the groundlease and subsequent
leaseback, it is important to note what monies the Town is receiving from the original lease agreement
with Verizon Communications. The Town and Verizon Communications are in the second renewal term
and per the original agreement, upon each renewal term the rent paid by Verizon Communications is
expected to increase 25%. The Town receives $1,875.00 rent payment per month from Verizon
Communications. The rent payment will not be effected by the sublease or the leaseback.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
I MOVE to (approve or deny) Resolution No. (R)15-34, authorizing Verizon Communications, Inc. to

SPECIAL AREA POLICIES AND DELETING THE SIGNIFICANT RESOURCE AREA DESIGNATION
FOR 8.2 ACRES LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF LA CHOLLA BOULEVARD AND
NARANJA DRIVE
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval of the requested amendments. These
items were continued by Town Council on December 10, 2014, and the applicant was encouraged to
meet with area residents to address their concerns.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The requests pertain to 191 acres at the southwest and northwest corners of the La Cholla Boulevard
and Naranja Drive intersection. The proposed amendments are comprised of three parts:
1. Amendment to the Land Use Map to Master Planned Community. The proposed development contains
a variety of residential and non-residential land uses as depicted on the proposed Long Range
Conceptual Master Plan (Attachment 3). The previous Long Range Conceptual Master Plan is included
as Attachment 4 for comparative purposes.
2. Adoption of Special Area Policies proposed by the applicant (Attachment 5).
3. Deletion of the Significant Resource Area designation.
The applicant's narrative, response to Code evaluation criteria and market study are provided as
Attachment 6. In addition, the Current and Proposed General Plan Land Use Maps are provided as
Attachments 7 and 8.
The requests were considered by Town Council on December 10, 2014. The Town Council minutes from
the December 10 public hearing are provided as Attachment 9. At the conclusion of the public hearing,
Town Council continued the requests and encouraged the applicant to meet with area residents to
address issues raised at the hearing.
Subsequent to the December 10 public hearing, the applicant met four times with an organized group of
residents. In the end, a lengthy list of Special Area Policies has been developed. The majority of the list
addresses issues that are best resolved upon rezoning when a tentative design will be presented. The
functional purpose of a Major General Plan Amendment has been exceeded.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
At the Town Council public hearing on December 10th, Council identified six areas of concern which are
listed below, followed by the applicant's response.
1. Increase the depth of the buffer and single-story height limit along southern boundary: The applicant
has modified the plan to increase the depth of the single-story height limit to 300 feet (measured from the
northern right-of-way line of Lambert Lane) and also to include most of the area west of Cross Road (the
road extending from La Cholla to Lambert and is adjacent to Casas Church) which is provided as
Attachment 3. The applicant has further proposed Special Area Policies applicable to the 53-acre
medium density residential parcel on the north side of Lambert Lane to restrict the density on this parcel
to three homes per acre, require a 6,600 square foot minimum lot size and require 10,000 square foot
lots along Lambert Lane, with a minimum of 15 feet between homes.
2. Provide more in-depth traffic analysis: The applicant has proposed a Special Area Policy requiring a
Master Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) during the Planned Area Development rezoning, which is already a
Code requirement. This Master TIA will identify necessary improvements required to support each phase
of the project as it is developed. The Master TIA will also identify traffic control methods to minimize
traffic impact to Cañada Hills Drive, as determined by the Town Engineer. The applicant has proposed a
Special Area Policy prohibiting traffic across La Cholla Boulevard directly from this development to
Cañada Hills Drive. The applicant has also proposed a Special Area Policy which requires award of the
contract for the La Cholla Boulevard widening prior to issuance of a grading permit within the
development.
3. Eliminate the Senior Care use: The applicant has eliminated senior care as a stand alone use and
has proposed a Special Area Policy which only allows senior care uses when operated in conjunction
with the expansion of the Casas Church.
4. Reduce the commercial area at the northwest corner of La Cholla Boulevard and Naranja Drive: The
applicant has not reduced the size of commercial area at the northwest corner of this intersection.
However, the applicant has proposed Special Area Policies to reduce the intensity of the planned
commercial by limiting this corner to C-N Neighborhood Commercial zoning and prohibiting
supermarkets, gas stations, convenience stores, auto service centers, and alcohol and guns/ammunition
sales as a primary use. The applicant has further proposed to limit building height on this corner to 24
feet.
5. Clarify the location of the Casas Church expansion: The Long Range Conceptual Master Plan has
been modified to reflect the boundary of possible church expansion.
6.Work with the neighborhood to further resolve issues: Since the December 10 public hearing, the
applicant has met four times with an organized group of residents. Listed below are changes proposed
by the applicant to address their concerns.
The Casas Church expansion area has been noted on the plan.
The commercial area at the northwest corner of Lambert Lane and La Cholla Boulevard has been
increased in size, which resulted in the recreation area being reduced and reconfigured into two
areas, with a new recreation area provided to the north.
Senior Care uses have been deleted from the plan, unless operated in conjunction with the Casas
Church expansion.
The amount of land restricted to single-story building height was expanded to include a 300 foot
boundary measured from the northern right-of-way line of Lambert Lane and also to include most of
the area west of Cross Road.
Prohibits apartments within the property.
Requirement for specific commercial zoning districts in each commercial area (C-N north of
Naranja Drive and C-1 on the two commercial areas south of Naranja Drive).
Prohibits specific commercial uses.
Requirement for Planned Area Development (PAD) zoning, including master studies.
Expansion of the single-story home restriction area in the southwest portion of the development.
Restricts the density of the medium density residential parcel along Lambert Lane to a maximum
density of 3 homes per acre, requires a minimum lot size of 6,600 square feet and requires 10,000
square foot lots along Lambert Lane, with 15 feet between homes.
Maximum number of residential homes is 500 homes, with an additional 70 homes if the two
commercial areas at La Cholla Boulevard and Naranja Drive are developed as residential.
Requirement for a master trails plan.
Clarifies the location and limitation of the Casa Church expansion.
Enhanced buffer yard along the 200 foot natural open space area on the western boundary
adjacent to existing residences.
Requires award of the La Cholla Boulevard widening contract prior to issuance of grading permits.
Prohibits traffic across La Cholla Boulevard directly from this development to Cañada Hills Drive.
The above agreements address a majority of comments expressed by residents and Town Council at the
December 10, 2014 public hearing. At the last meeting with residents, all parties indicated consensus
with the above agreements, with the exception of minimum lot size. At this last meeting, the applicant and
the residents also agreed not to raise new or additional issues and agreed to honor the process of the
negotiation.
However, since the last meeting, several residents have continued raising new issues of concern
including traffic mitigation at La Cholla and Cañada Hills Drive, limitations on timing of development and
questions concerning the La Cholla Boulevard improvements. Attachment 10 includes comments which
have been received following the last meeting with residents. The following are staff responses to these
issues recently raised by area residents:
Traffic mitigation at Cañada Hills Drive: The Special Area Policies require a Master TIA which will identify
traffic control methods to minimize impact to Cañada Hills Drive. Staff believes the Master TIA will enable
the Town Engineer to make sound, engineering-based determinations on the scientific methods to
minimize impacts, without the inclusion of additional language which is not based on engineering
principles.
The applicant has proposed an additional Special Area Policy prohibiting traffic from crossing La Cholla
Boulevard directly from the development to Cañada Hills Drive. The Town Engineer does not support this
policy as it usurps his authority to ensure public safety, as outlined by Town Code. For this reason, the
attached Resolutions do not include the policy proposed by the applicant.
Limitation on the timing of development: Consensus was reached at the last meeting with the residents
on a Special Area Policy, which required roadway improvements to support each phase as the project
develops. It was not the consensus of the residents and applicant to further restrict development timing.
The applicant has proposed a Special Area Policy requiring the contract for the widening of La Cholla
Boulevard be awarded prior to issuance of a grading permit for the development.
Questions concerning La Cholla Boulevard improvements: One resident has questioned whether funding
is available for the La Cholla Boulevard improvements. The Town Engineer has confirmed that the
is available for the La Cholla Boulevard improvements. The Town Engineer has confirmed that the
widening of approximately five miles of La Cholla Boulevard has been fully funded at $25,000,000. The
Town is currently entering the design phase which will continue until July 2017. Funding for the design
phase is $2,000,000. The construction, which is funded at $23,000,000, is expected to begin in July
2017, with an expected completion by July 2019.
In summary, the applicant and the residents engaged in a meaningful negotiation, which resulted in
addressing a number of concerns raised by Town Council and the residents at the December 10 public
hearing.
Staff would caution that many of the Special Area Policies addressing use limitations, building heights
and other standards are more appropriately addressed at the rezoning and design phase based on a
specific development plan and go significantly beyond the normal scope of a general plan amendment.
These policies have a high likelihood of resulting in unintended consequences and it is anticipated that
amendments to these policies will be necessary over the course of development of this project, based on
the ultimate design of individual projects.
Significant Resource Area Deletion
The applicant proposes deletion of the Significant Resource Area designation, which exists on portions of
the property. This designation, adopted with the original General Plan in 2005, proceeded the Town's
adoption of the Environmentally Sensitive Lands (ESL) regulations in 2011. The ESL regulations
establish comprehensive environmental conservation standards and regulations. As the comprehensive
standards established by the ESL regulations provide for a superior level of resource protection, the
Commission recommends approval of the applicant's request to delete the Significant Resource Area
designations on the property.
The ESL Planning Map for the area is provided as Attachment 11 and establishes the following
conservation categories on the property:
Critical Resource Area: Resources including washes and riparian area, with a 95% open space
requirement.
Resource Management Area Tier 1: Lower resource value lands with lower intensity growth
expectations in the General Plan, with a 66% open space requirement.
Resource Management Area Tier 2: Lower resource value lands with moderate growth
expectations in the General Plan, with a 25% open space requirement.
The amendment, if approved, will result in the Critical Resource Areas remaining at 95% open space and
the balance of the property designated Resource Management Area Tier 2, requiring 25% open space.
General Plan Amendment Evaluation / Planning Commission Review and Action
The amendments were considered at two public hearings on October 7, 2014, and November 20, 2014.
Discussion at these public hearings focused on density, market demand, amendment review criteria and
neighborhood compatibility. At the conclusion of these hearings, the Planning and Zoning Commission
recommended approval of the amendments based on a finding that the requests are consistent with the
General Plan Vision and many Goals and Policies, including:
Support for higher density residential and commercial near major arterial streets.
Support for commercial uses and services in proximity to residential neighborhoods.
Master planning of large parcels of land.
Establishment of a complementary relationship between development and roads.
In regard to the four amendment criteria, the Planning and Zoning Commission found the amendments to
be in compliance. The applicant's response to the Code evaluation criteria is provided as Attachment 6.
Staff analysis of the applicant's response is provided on Attachment 12 and within the Planning and
Zoning Commission Staff Report, Attachment 13. The Neighborhood Meeting Summary Notes are
Zoning Commission Staff Report, Attachment 13. The Neighborhood Meeting Summary Notes are
provided as Attachment 14. A letter from Amphitheater School District is provided as Attachment 15. The
Planning and Zoning Commission minutes are provided as Attachment 16.
Public Participation
Three formal neighborhood meetings and one open house on the proposal were held as follows:
April 15, 2014 (75 attendees)
August 13, 2014 (65 attendees)
September 10, 2014 Open House (90 attendees)
October 20, 2014 (40 attendees)
In addition to the above formal neighborhood meetings, the applicant has met on four occasions with an
organized group of residents to address issues following the December 10 public hearing.
Letters and emails received prior to December 10, 2014, were included as an attachment to the
December 10 Town Council communication.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Development of retail, office or employment uses on the property should have a long-term positive impact
on revenues to support Town-provided services and reduce sales tax leakage to other communities.

A. Project Summary
The La Cholla Commons property is located along the west side of La Cholla Boulevard between
Glover Road and Lambert Lane. The General Plan currently contemplates a mix of uses including
5 RAC residential, commercial/office, and public/semi-public facilities. The proposal is to
comprehensively plan this 1.5 mile frontage of La Cholla Boulevard. The designation of the entire
corridor is proposed as Master Planned Community, with the intention of allowing future
rezoning for a mix of residential, neighborhood commercial, and office uses. Future uses would
be oriented to provide convenient and appropriate services to the surrounding neighborhood as
well as future residents.
This amendment proposal is to change the designated land use from Medium Density Residential
(MDR), Rural Low Density Residential (R-LDR), Public/Semi-Public (PSP), and Neighborhood
Commercial/Office (NCO) to Master Planned Community (MPC). The Master Planned Community
Designation is best suited for this location because it will allow a complimentary mix of uses and
ensure cohesive, well planned development along length of La Cholla Boulevard
The proposed amendment in land uses is supported by several factors, including its location on
La Cholla Boulevard (a major, regional arterial roadway with future widening to a four -lane
divided arterial with sidewalks and multi-use paths), location adjacent to two major signalized
arterial intersections, and compatibility with surrounding land uses.
The General Plan envisions this area as a mix of residential densities and commercial uses. The
Master Planned Community will continue that vision but in a comprehensive manner.

property is Master Planned Community (MPC).
C. General Plan Amendment Criteria
In accordance with Section 22 of the Oro Valley Zoning Code Revised, t he disposition of the
General Plan amendment proposed shall be based on consistency with the vision, goals, and
policies of the General Plan, with special emphasis on compliance with the following criteria:
1. The proposed change is necessary because conditions in the community changed to the
extent that the plan requires amendment or modification.
In the subsequent year following the approval and adoption of the Town of Oro Valley
2005 General Plan, the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) was formed as part
of the 2006 Pima County Transportation Bond initiative. The RTA is currently in the
Design Phase to improve La Cholla Boulevard to a four-lane desert parkway between
Overton Road and Tangerine Road. The La Cholla Corridor , as it is referenced, is one
of the Region’s key north-south corridors presented and approved in the 2006 Pima
County, Transportation bond initiative passed by the voters; connecting Tangerine
Road to Interstate 10 (through an improved connection at Ruthrauff Road). In 2013
the Average Daily Traffic (ADT) counts were approximately 7,400 along La Cholla
Boulevard between Naranja Drive and Lambert Lane. Future Traffic Conditions (2040),
established by the RTA, place the ADT counts for La Cholla Boulevard between Naranja
Drive and Lambert Lane at 21,830, and 23,164 for La Cholla Boulevard between
Naranja Drive and Tangerine Road. The formation and implementation of the RTA,
and the changing transportation condition of La Cholla Boulevard to a major north-
south corridor, will increase the viability and accessibility of the site, creating demand
for a variety of uses along its route.
The Town of Oro Valley is growing, not only in size but also in desirability. Since the
year 2000, the population of Oro Valley has increased 25%, to just over 40,000
residents (Source: US Census). The rise in popularity, and the increased desire for
communities to establish a live, work, play environment, leads to the need to adjust
land uses to allow for flexibility and variety in each land use aspect. Locating
neighborhood scale commercial in close proximity to residential users can encourage
3
more walking and biking, reducing vehicle miles traveled in the community, and
increasing employment opportunities.
An in-depth residential market analysis, demonstrating the changing market
conditions, is further explained within the section of criteria #3 of this narrative.
A market study has been prepared, analyzing the current and expected viability of the
various land uses proposed. A draft of the study is attached to this document as an
appendix.
2. The proposed change is sustainable by contributing to the socio-economic betterment
of the community, while achieving community and environmental compatibility.
If approved, the property will be designated as a Master Plan Community. The Master
Plan will set standards and themes to ensure that the development is compatible with
the surrounding uses. It is anticipated that Naranja Drive on the north and Lambert
Lane on the south will be improved as part of the project. La Cholla Boulevard
improvements are planned as part of the 2006 Regional Transportation Authority’s
(RTA) initiative which once completed will adequately accommodate traffic
associated with the proposed land uses. Public facilities and infrastructure already
exist, and/or are planned to be constructed nearby, thus accounting for the additional
burden on public infrastructure that may be associated with this project. T his
development will contribute to the long-term socio-economic betterment of the
community by providing convenient retail and offices uses close to existing consumers
and future residents.
This proposed development will achieve community and environmental compatibility
by providing open space in and along the washes and recreational areas throughout
the site. Connections to the proposed trails through the development and connecting
to the existing trail/path system will be provided. It is intent of the owner that future
development fully comply with the requirements outlined in the Environmentally
Sensitive Lands Ordinance (ESLO). The development will also include landscape
buffers to further soften the appearance of future development from neighboring
residents. The proposed natural and functional open space trails combined with
walkable land uses will result in synergy, and the promotion of the desired live, work,
play environment.
The Master Plan will include aesthetic themes and standards which will ensure future
development is compatible with its surroundings.
The Master Plan provides a transition in density from east to west. On both the south
and western boundaries larger lots, a buffer yard, or a combination of both will
provide a transition from this development to the larger lot developments nearby.

3. The proposed change reflects market demand which leads to viability and general
community acceptance.
The Town of Oro Valley is growing, not only in size but also in desirability. Since the
year 2000, the population of Oro Valley has increased 38%, to just over 40,000
residents (Source: US Census). Along La Cholla Boulevard, residential developments
are in various stages of construction and platting, including the neighboring
developments of Saguaros Viejos (118 lots) on the north side of Naranja Drive,
Meritage on Naranja (120 lots) on the south side of Naranja Drive, and Rancho de
Plata (50 lots) and Rancho del Cobre (68 lots) to the north near Glover Rd. Over the
last 12 months (August 2013 to July 2014) over 180 residential building permits have
been pulled within Town limits, which is in line with the average of 183 per year over
the last decade (Source: Orange Reports, The Sales and Permit Report – August 2014,
Volume 319).
The market area applicable to this project has an expected annual growth rate of
roughly 2% (Source: Valbridge Property Advisors, Draft Market Demand Report –
October 2014). This number is derived from analyzing growth over a period of 10
years, 2000 -2010, and establishing a trend projection. During this time period, the
country experienced an economic recession and real estate bubble, which
contributed to the low growth rate projection. The graph below measures modeled
demand for production type housing at an annual growth rate of 5%, against
production home inventory that is known to exist or be in the platting process and
assumed to be absorbed at a rate of 2 homes per month, per community phase
(currently absorption rates are around 3 homes per month). The table clearly shows
that a supply shortage will likely exist starting in 2020.
5
Given that the land planning, design, platting, and construction process typically takes
3-4 years in Oro Valley, it is imperative that additional home sites be planned for now
in order to avoid a shortage. The graph below shows the anticipated housing supply
with this project’s anticipated start of 2018. Supply needs to stay slightly ahead of
demand, and this project will accomplish this goal for a couple more years, but
demand is still anticipated to outpace supply by 2022 even with this project.
Real Estate websites such as Zillow and Movoto, show home prices having increased
5-7% over the last 12 months (Source: www.zillow.com – 9/19/2014); coupled with
The Town of Oro Valley recently being ranked as one of the top 10 safest suburbs, and
continually providing a nationally ranked education system, it is clear that increased
market demand within the community will need to be addressed through land use
amendments to the General Plan.
As part of 2006 Pima County Transportation Bond, approved by the voters, the Pima
Association of Governments (PAG) modeled future trends to determine the
transportation needs of the region. In 2005, the use of census information along with
conventional transportation models led to the development of Transportation
Analysis Zones (TAZ). Pima County was divided into 859 TAZ’s. Using historical trends
in housing, employment, and land use, PAG anticipated the needs for the year 2040
for each TAZ. Between Overton Road and Moore Road, along La Cholla Boulevard,
there are 8 zones (Refer to Traffic Analysis Zones Exhibit). The table below displays
each of the 8 TAZ, their respective 2005 population, their expected 2040 population,
their respective 2005 employment total, and their expected 2040 employment total:

Source: Pima Association of Governments
The data above demonstrates that total housing along the La Cholla Corridor
between Overton Road and Moore Road is anticipated to increase over 55%, while
total employment is anticipated to increase almost 210% along the same stretch.
The proposed Master Planned Community site is within Zone #621. This zone in
particular, shows significant increases in both housing and total employment by the
year 2040.
The proposed change in land use accurately reflects the anticipated demand that will
follow the future development of the La Cholla Corridor as demonstrated in the
planning models conducted by the Pima Association of Governments. The
transformation of La Cholla Boulevard into a major north-south arterial will lead to
increased viability of the site, and demand a variety of uses, both residential and
commercial, to not only serve those residents within the immediate vicinity, but
those traveling both north and south to other destinations.
Section C-1 of this document provides statements and a graph regarding market
supply and historically modeled demand.
A market study is being prepared, analyzing the current and expected viability of the
various land uses proposed. A draft of the study is attached to this document as an
appendix.
4. The amendment will not adversely impact the community as a whole, or a portion of
the community without an acceptable means of mitigating these impacts through the
subsequent zoning and development process.
This General Plan amendment request seeks to change the existing land use
designation to Master Planned Community, allowing for neighborhood scale flexibility
and innovative planning of a mix of residential and commercial uses. The site is
located along a future north-south corridor, La Cholla Boulevard, and between two
7
major arterial roadways, Lambert Lane and Naranja Drive. Specific impacts along the
projects perimeter will be addressed during the rezoning phase of the entitlement
process or during subsequent detailed development proposals.
This property is ideal and appropriate for neighborhood scale commercial and
residential development with the location between two major arterial roads.
The General Plan envisions this area as a mix of non-low density residential and
commercial uses. The Master Planned Community will continue that vision but in a
comprehensive manner.
Amphitheater School District has funded plans to construct a new elementary school
in the southwest portion of Rancho Vistoso. This, along with the significant increase
in education-related property taxes that this development will generate, will allow the
School District to continue to provide the high quality of education that Oro Valley
residents have come to expect.
8
D. General Plan Policy Conformance
A number of Oro Valley’s General Plan policies will be met by this development. Below are a
few key points:
1. Land Use
This proposed commercial development will not encroach into the wash areas and
leave these areas as natural undisturbed open space. (Policy 1.1.3)
This development will be low scale, neighborhood oriented, and compatible with
surrounding current and future residential uses. La Cholla Boulevard is proposed to
be improved by the Regional Transportation Authorit y (RTA) to a four lane desert
parkway. These improvements have the ability to support the human -scale
commercial development proposed, while providing the Town with sales tax revenue.
(Policy 1.2.1)
The area surrounding the subject property has been lar gely developed with single
family residential uses. Locating compatible activity centers and residential
neighborhoods are encouraged. (Policy 1.3.1)
The southeastern and northeastern corners of the site are located at two major
intersections along the La Cholla Boulevard arterial. The General plan encourages the
development of commercial and higher density residential units near major arterials.
(Policy 1.3.2)
The General Plan encourages the clustering of commercial development at specific
nodes or villages. The location of the site at the intersection of La Cholla Boulevard
and Naranja Drive would provide an ideal location for neighborhood oriented
commercial development. (Policy 1.3.4)
The Town encourages the use of Master Planning. This request is part of a larger
overall area to be designated as Master Planned Community. The location, fronting
1.5 miles along La Cholla Boulevard, is ideal for the use of comprehensive planning
consistent with the General Plan. (Policy 1.3.5)
The project will decrease density from east to west. The project will include buffer
yards, larger lots, or a combination to minimize impacts to the surrounding properties
to the west and south across Lambert Lane. (1.4.7)
The Town will require master planning for projects which exceed 40 acres in size.
(1.4.11)
2. Community Design
Once the land use is designated as a Master Plan Community, the use of a Planned
Area Development (PAD) zoning designation will be pursued. The purpose of
Planned Area Development (PAD) zoning is to improve and protect the public health,
safety, and welfare by pursuing unified planning and development and provide for
development proposals, which are superior to that which may occur under
9
conventional zoning regulations. Elements associated with a PAD include
architecture, landscaping, and site design standards to ensure a consistent and
quality design along the corridor and through out the site. The designs will take into
consideration the surrounding neighborhoods, and current Town of Oro Valley
Design Guidelines to ensure that future development is compatible. (Policy 2.1.1)
3. Economic Development
With the location along La Cholla Boulevard, and proximity to established residential
units, the proposed neighborhood oriented commercial development will not only
help to prevent expenditure leakage, but also provide local options for residents (both
current and new) to obtain basic services without the need for a vehicle. (Policy 3.1.1)
4. Cost of Development
The dedication for right-of-way along La Cholla will be donated for the La Cholla
corridor improvements. As previously mentioned, the RTA will improve the La Cholla
Boulevard corridor. The development will provide required widening and
improvements along both Naranja Drive and Lambert Lane. (Policy 4.1.1 and Policy
4.1.4)
5. Public Facilities, Services, and Safety
Municipal facilities are already located nearby, and therefore able to service this
development without imposing a significant burden. (Policy 6.1.1)
o Below are the driving distances to public facilities from the subject property:
Fire Stations
1.3 miles southeast - Golder Ranch Fire Station 376
2.1 miles northwest - Northwest Fire Station 339
2.7 miles northeast - Golder Ranch Fire Station 375

1.0 mile east - Oro Valley Main Police Station
Schools
0 miles - Casas School
0.3 miles northwest - Wilson K-8 School
0.5 miles west - Ironwood Ridge High School
1.6 miles east - Copper Creek Elementary School
2.8 miles northeast - Painted Sky Elementary School
10
Town Hall
1.0 mile east
Parks
0.5 miles east - Lambert Lane Park (undeveloped)
1.5 miles south - Linda Vista Neighborhood Park
1.8 miles east - Naranja Town Site Park
2.0 miles east - CDO River Front Park
2.8 miles southwest - Arthur Pack Regional Park
o Additionally, utilities are already available to the property.
o Efficient and safe vehicular and non -motorized traffic circulation is a primary
design consideration and amenity to the proposed master planned
community. (Policy 5.1.5)
o The Town encourages development design and orientation that promotes and
facilitates multi-modal transportation access, particularly in and around major
activity centers. The proposed Master Plan will promote multi-modal
transportation access by providing a walking and biking friendly community.
Facilities such as sidewalks, trails, bikes lanes and paths will be evaluated with
the plan.
6. Open Space and Natural Resources Conservation
The site designates the multiple washes as Critical Resource areas. The remainder of
the site is designated Resource Management Area Tier 2 or is already developed. The
site will comply by leaving the washes and additional areas on-site as natural
undisturbed open space. (Policy 11.2.7)
The future development will locate buildings, parking, and associated amenities
outside of the wash areas to the greatest extent possible. Other open space areas
will be provided and will enhance the pedestrian mobility of the Master Plan
Community area. (Policy 11.2.9)
The future development will comply with the requirements contained in the ESLO, by
providing adequate buffers consistent with the site characteristics. (Policy 11.2.12)
The future development will only use vegetation on the Recommended Plant List and
prohibit certain invasive, allergenic, and nuisance species within the development.
(Policy 11.2.15)
This development will meet the Native Plant Preservation Plan guidelines from the
Town. (Policy 11.2.16)
To protect the views on Naranja Drive and La Cholla Blvd., both of which are
designated scenic corridors by the Town of Oro Valley, the future building masses and
heights will be evaluated to ensure view protection is consistent with Town policies.
(Policy 11.3.1)
11
This proposed development maintains the character of the views along Naranja Drive
and La Cholla Boulevard by providing landscape buffers and underground utilities.
(Policy 11.3.2)
To ensure the proposed development blends and/or enhances the natural
environment, all utilities will be placed underground. This will help protect the views
from surrounding properties and roads. (Policy 11.3.3)
To protect the scenic night sky in the community, the proposed development will
meet the requirements established in the Town of Oro Valley Outdoor Lighting Code.
To control obtrusive aspects of outdoor lighting usage, this proposed development
will have reduced and/or shielded lighting. Additionally, the surrounding public will
benefit from portions of the open space on-site not receiving active illumination at
night. (Policy 11.4.2)
7. Water Resources
The wash areas on the site will be designated as open space in compliance with the
ESLO. (Policy 12.1.1)
This development will be served by Oro Valley Water Utility, which participates in the
Central Arizona Project (C.A.P.) and other regional groundwater protection initiatives.
(Policy 12.2.1)
Future development will include water conservation features, including water
efficient irrigation system and drought tolerant vegetation. (Policy 12.3.2)
8. Housing
Under the heading of encouraging and maintaining a range of housing opportunities,
the General Plan states the following, which aligns very well with this proposal, “The
Town shall encourage the development of a variety of types of homes to
accommodate the varied needs of residents, including single -family attached and
detached, townhomes, small apartments (3-4 units), condominiums, active
retirement communities and congregate care housing…” (Policy 7.2.1)
“The Town shall allow and encourage master planned communities that offer high -
quality neighborhoods with a variety of residential densities and appropriately located
commercial uses to serve the community.” (Policy 7.2.3)

Conclusion:
Demand is strong
However, scale and market demand is not met by complexes under construction.
Area has seasonal empty-nesters in a population weighted to older age cohorts.
Recommend casita apartments such as Tucson Rental Homes and Avilla, NOT stacked 2 and
3 story garden units with higher density.

Remarks:
The market is currently coming out of a recession and STDB growth projections are under-
represented. Our projections are based on historical 2000-2010 household growth rates
which equally rate the growth cycle and the recession in that decade.
Owner occupancy rates projected to decrease from 75% to 70% as the area matures.
Price range is $250,000 to $500,000 move up segment.
Given age cohort information, low maintenance for sale units would meet needs on this market
niche.

Conclusion:
The area has a significant retiree and seasonal population
There is significant discretionary income for food, services, and medical services
Centers with higher vacancy lack curb appeal and inviting attractive architecture to create a
sense of place. The area is not overbuilt. Higher vacancy centers have design and/or
functional obsolescence issues.
There is household and income growth demand for a planned center in 2 years but likely
with a 5 to 7 year delivery.
Despite demand, immediate construction would not take place for at least 2 years due to
planning/entitlement time as the market is still coming out of a recession and development
is less risky with strong pre-leasing.

Balancing development of targeted medical and wellness services with assisted living
development appears to have strong demand.
Conclusions
The district boundaries utilized were designed to emphasize the immediate area. This included a
district of at least 1 mile up to 3 mile boundaries. District lines were set with the intent to
provide an accurate depiction of the immediate neighborhood. Therefore, regional retail such as
the Walmart anchored retail center at Tangerine and Oracle, which serves a larger trade area
much farther north, luxury homes against Pusch Ridge, older dwellings to the south, and higher
density merchant built housing to the west were specifically excluded.
A review of population statistics indicated excessively optimistic projections in 2008 based upon
a high growth housing bubble. The 2013 projections tend to understate growth due to
projections made during a recession. Therefore, I reviewed growth rates from 2000 to 2010,
which included five years of recession bracketing five years of expanding economy. The
usefulness of this time period is derived from its balance of both strong and weak economies.
The growth projected based on 2000 through 2010 would be over 1,900 units. I back this off to
1,750 housing units. As the area matures and given current trends, there’s likelihood of more
rather than fewer renters. So I reduced the home ownership components from 75% to 70%.
However, I only used a 25% rental component for rental housing because of the age cohorts
within this neighborhood, thereby allocating approximately 5% to senior housing.
Household income is over 50% higher in the neighborhood than the Tucson MSA. Employment
demographics likely infer a considerable seasonal resident, empty nester, and family
components, based upon the .17 employee/residential population ratio.
Over 60% of the residents have net worth of above $150,000, with the majority concentrated in
the 45 year and older age cohorts. Moreover, about 55% of householders are 55 years or older.
In conclusion, this is a moderately affluent neighborhood, with many residents at or just past
their peak earning years based upon these statistics. Housing that is easier to maintain,
adaptable for greater accessibility and flexible for varied occupancy by different generations, will
generate greatest demand.
For Sale Residential Conclusions:
Owner occupancy rates are forecasted to decline from 75% to 70% due to age cohorts in
the neighborhood and due to changing market preferences.
A likely price range is $250,000 to 500,000 which is a move up segment and also
accounts for both low and medium density development.
Based upon neighborhood demographics including wealth and age, for sale units that
emphasize low maintenance, adaptability to meeting physical needs, and inter-
generational use would attract broader demand.
Even with planned developments in the neighborhood, there appears to be additional
demand of 600+ for sale residential units.
It is important to be aware of the gradually changing age of the neighborhood
population, whereby, ease of using housing will attract demand. Therefore, this
inherently infers some demand for attached products such as townhomes. The current
develop pipeline of townhomes and condominiums is quite shallow, which is typical in
recessionary periods. There is a demand for about 100 to 200 townhomes or casita style
apartments.
Multi-Family Conclusions:
Demand for multi-family is strong with residual demand of about 1400 units.
Traditional garden apartments of two to three stories is inconsistent with scale of the
existing neighborhood.
Multi-family use should be limited to a combination of one and two stories designed to
attract the market segments typically found within casita projects such as those
developed by Avilla and Tucson Rental Homes.
The market segments consist of seasonal visitors, empty nesters, a few families in modest
segments of larger units, and single employed professionals. Single employed
professionals, particularly females, are attracted to this product’s lower density, low
maintenance, and greater similarity to living in owner occupied residence whether it be a
townhome or single family home.
Retail Conclusions:
The area has a significant retiree and seasonal population
There is significant discretionary income for food, services, and medical services
Centers with higher vacancy lack curb appeal and inviting attractive architecture to
create a sense of place. The area is not overbuilt. Higher vacancy centers have design
and/or functional obsolescence issues.
There is household and income growth demand for a planned center in 2 years but likely
with a 5 to 7 year delivery.
Despite demand for about 200,000 S.F., immediate construction would not take place for
at least 2 years due to planning/entitlement time as the market is still coming out of a
recession and development is less risky with strong pre-leasing.
Medical expenditures infer demand for supporting services oriented to 55+ age cohorts,
included in the retail demand.
Observing retail development, Oracle Road, La Canada, and Tangerine Road have
attracted retail development but, there is a hole in the center of the immediate
neighborhood in the area along La Cholla, primarily at Lambert Lane but secondarily at
Naranja Drive.
Assisted Living Conclusions:
Population age cohorts and income cohorts intersect to infer considerable demand.
Balancing development of targeted medical and wellness services with assisted living
development appears to have strong demand.
There are 166 senior care beds in the immediate area. For assisted living, mobility is less
important though a sense of place for a senior resident is also important. Moreover, this
neighborhood is proximate to the Town hall, Town library, and parks without having to
navigate the heavy traffic on Oracle Road. Even assuming dislocation out of the
immediate area, there is unmet assisted living demand for over 200 beds, increasing by
80 more beds over the next 10 years.

Recent Resident Comments
Paul,
I know you responded to my e-mail below but I can't find it so I must have accidentally deleted it when I
was deleting a bunch of files the other day.
I think you responded that both residential and commercial development could begin as early as
2017. My memory was that it would be 5 years for residential and 10 years for commercial. Have the
plans changed?
I just found the comment that you made on this topic in the past.
August 13, 2014 Neighborhood Meeting:
When a resident said that all the empty storefronts in town indicated that there is no need for any more
commercial, you said that you didn't argue with this but that you were "thinking long-range, most likely
10 years from now."
That's a lot different than 2017. Can we get something in writing, added to the Special Area Policies,
that promises that commercial won't be built until at least the year _______?
What year seems feasible to you?
Something should also be added to the SAP stating the earliest date that development could begin in
the residential portion.
Please advise.

Subject: RE: Proposed Major General Plan Amendment SWC Naranja and La Cholla
Paul and Bayer,
Also, the below wording should be removed from the SAP:
"The ultimate alignment of subdivision access roads and use of proposed traffic control methods are
entirely subject to Town Engineer review and approval.”
REASON: If it is later determined that the proposed road will connect to CH Drive, this
would "adversely impact...a portion of the community" and this does not meet the General
Plan Criteria for approval.
A stipulation could be added to the SAP that the Town Engineer cannot connect a road to
Canada Hills Drive without the approval of ____% of the residents of the Canada Hills HOA.
That percentage should be determined be CH HOA.
Since the Major GPA public hearing/vote has been postponed until May 6th, we consider the
SAP to still be a work-in-progress!

Mike and Paul,
Appreciate the idea.
But the concept as shown would not work, since area residents would no longer be able
to make a left hand turn from Canada Hills Drive south onto La Cholla Boulevard.

Reference: Proposed Major General Plan Amendment at Northwest
and Southwest Corners of Naranja and La Cholla (194 Acres)
Dear Council Member Zinkin:
I will cut to the chase.
The Canada Hills Drive Issue should be resolved before the GPA is
considered and voted upon.
Otherwise we will be stuck with the old Concept Plan which is unacceptable
by the majority of the Canada Hills residents we have spoken to.
Canada Hills Drive is a private street, maintained by the
homeowners. Walkers, joggers, bicyclists, kids, parents with strollers, and
golf carts use the street, with its 25 mph speed limit.
The proposed 500 to 570 new homes will generate approximately 1,000 to
1,200 additional cars and increased traffic on our local roads. This is
unacceptable. The developer is obligated to find an alternate route for this
proposed development.
We do not want the new development to hook directly into Canada Hills
Drive, as shown on the present maps.
Period.
Rudy Roszak
Paul,
The map that's included in the council packet for the April 15th meeting (attached) still
shows the proposed road connecting to Canada Hills Drive.
Will this map be updated prior to the council meeting?
The concern is that passing the GPA with the map "as is" creates two problems:
(1) It leaves the residents of Canada Hills wide open for disaster in the future if the town
decides to leave that road in the current location.
(2) The current location of the road does not meet the GP criteria below:
The amendment will not adversely impact the community as a whole, or a portion of the
community...
We understand the caveat in the second half of that criteria...
...without an acceptable means of mitigating these impacts through the subsequent zoning
and development process.
However, it's not fair to the residents of CH to have to wait until the zoning process to find
out where the road will be placed since the placement of that road could adversely impact
their community.
This needs to be ironed out now. Otherwise, we're being asked to approve something when
we have no idea of what we're actually approving.
Please advise.

Dear Mayor and Council,
At the December 10th council meeting to vote on the LaCholla Major General Plan
Amendment, a decision was made to continue the item for another time. It is now on the
April 15th agenda.
Mayor Hiremath asked for a continuance for the following reasons:
(1) He wanted clarification on the portion of the land that is owned by Casas Church that
could still be used for church expansion.
(2) Council wanted further discussion on commercial and the possibility of removing some
of it from the plan as they were not convinced that market demand exists.
(3) They wanted to research the timetable for the widening of LaCholla in this area.
(Council Member Zinkin stated that the RTA is already discussing widening Broadway to
only 3 lanes on each side rather than 4 lanes as was approved by the voters. Apparently
the RTA is having revenue issues and they're considering a further increase in the sales tax
in order to complete all the projects they promised. As such, the possibility exists that they
will run out of money before they have widened LaCholla.)
(4) They wanted to further research and clarify overall construction density.
(5) They wanted to further research market need for townhomes.
Have you researched the above issues? If yes, what was the outcome of each
one?
Councilmember Zinkin asked for a continuance for an additional reason:
That the continuance also be based upon our citizens group conducting further negotiations
with the applicant. This issue has been addressed. Our CORE group met with Paul
Oland in January, February, and March.
Respectfully,
Diane Peters

Subject: Town Council Meeting April 15, 2015
Dear Mayor, Council Members and Town Staff,
Re; Major General Plan Amendment SW corner Naranja and LaCholla
AS stated on attachment 12 of agenda item 1, General Plan Amendment Evaluation Criteria Analysis,
Section 22.2.D.3
1. The proposed change is necessary because conditions in the community have changed to the extent
that the plan requires amendment or modification.
The very essence of the application for a Major General Plan Amendment to the SW corner of Naranja
and LaCholla is based entirely on the funding and planned expansion of LaCholla Blvd.
As stated in the Staff Comment, "The funding of the planned expansion of La Cholla Boulevard to a
four lane desert parkway is a change in conditions which support reconsideration of the planned
density and intensity along this corridor."
Since La Cholla is still a two lane street, and does not have funding to date for an expansion, if this
motion is to pass, please consider a condition of approval that the completion of this stretch of
LaCholla to a four lane parkway starting from Overton Rd to Tangerine Road be complete prior to any
rezoning.
to my knowledge, Currently there is no complete funding nor is there any factual time frame for the
expansion of La Cholla Boulevard to a four lane desert parkway.
Please consider adding this condition to the final approval. The safety of all our students who use this
corridor, not to mention the citizens should be the number one priority.
La Cholla Blvd is not a four lane desert parkway yet.
Sincerely,
Karen Stratman
Citizen of Oro Valley, AZ

Subject: Mtg with Bill Garner
Hi Paul,
I spoke with Bill Garner about the offer you made on Tuesday.
Before I survey the citizens group on their preference, I need to make sure that I
understand this properly.
Option A: The 12 to 14 lots on the southern portion of MDR on Lambert Lane would have a
MINIMUM lot size of 8000 sf and other lots at 8500 sf.
Option B: The entire MDR portion would have an average lot size between 6000-7000 sf.
Is this correct?
If yes, what is meant by "an AVERAGE lot size between 6000-7000 sf?"
(a) NO lots would be below 6000 sf?
(b) The average would be 6000-7000, but SOME could still be larger or smaller than that.
The word "average" reminds me of the word "overall" and how it's very different than what
people expect it to be. That's why I need clarification.
Thank you. Deep cleansing breath. We're almost done!

Attachment 12
General Plan Amendment Evaluation Criteria Analysis, Section 22.2.D.3
General Plan Amendments are evaluated for consistency with the General Plan Amendment criteria in the
Zoning Code. It is the burden of the applicant to present facts and other materials to support these criteria.
The applicant’s response to each of the criteria is provided below in italics followed by staff’s analysis of each
criterion:
1. The proposed change is necessary because conditions in the community have changed to the
extent that the plan requires amendment or modification.
Applicant’s Response – See Pages 2 and 3 of Attachment 5
Staff Comment:
The funding of the planned expansion of La Cholla Boulevard to a four lane desert parkway is a change in
conditions which support reconsideration of the planned density and intensity along this corridor. Voter
authorization of the Regional Transportation Authority Plan occurred in 2006, after the 2005 ratification of the
Oro Valley General Plan. The timing of the expansion is currently planned for 2021, but the Town is now
working with the RTA to move the planned expansion up to accommodate the additional projected traffic
volume of this roadway.
Expanding La Cholla Boulevard to a parkway will provide another important major north–south transportation
corridor within the community and warrants re-evaluation of the planned land uses. A moderate increase in
density / intensity is supported by the General Plan policy which provides that higher density uses should be
located near major arterial streets. Increasing the planned density and intensity of development based on the
expansion of La Cholla Boulevard represents an efficient use of public infrastructure, a concept which is also
supported by General Plan policy.
2. The proposed change is sustainable by contributing to the socio-economic betterment of the
community, while achieving community and environmental compatibility.
Applicant’s Response – See Page 3 of Attachment 5
Staff Comment:
The planned variety of residential uses, supported by retail and office development contributes to the overall
socio-economic opportunities within this area. A balanced land use plan reduces vehicle trips on adjacent
roadways and reduces traffic congestion. Nearby commercial services also creates walkable neighborhoods by
promoting non-motorized travel to access goods and services. Employment opportunities also contribute to
the socio-economic betterment of residents through reduced traffic impact and transportation costs.
The proposed concept plan achieves environmental compatibility through conformance with the Town’s
adopted Environmentally Sensitive Lands ordinance and preservation of the natural wash corridors through the
site.
In terms of neighborhood compatibility, a number of mitigation measures have been included in the proposals:
Prohibition of apartments within the property
Requirement for specific commercial zoning districts in each commercial area
Limitation on commercial uses
Requirement for PAD zoning, including master studies
Expansion of the single-story home restriction in the southwest portion of the property
Establish maximum number of homes on the property
Requirement for master trails plan
Perimeter landscape buffer yard requirements
Restriction of senior care uses to Casas Church expansion
Location and limitation of Casas Church expansion
3. The proposed change reflects market demand which leads to viability and general community
acceptance.
Applicant’s Response – See Pages 4 - 6 of Attachment 5
Staff Comment:
General Plan policy states that the Town “reasonably” wishes to be satisfied that market demand exists for the
land uses proposed in the application. It should be acknowledged that market demand beyond the 2-3 year
timeframe is difficult to predict. It also should be noted that demand and supply in a free market economy are
never perfectly synchronized and a margin of supply above demand is normal.
Residential
As of 2013 the Town was approximately 80% built out for single family residential development. Of the
remaining vacant land left in the Town, this area represents one of the few remaining large tracts of vacant
land. This condition has resulted in a significant amount of recent growth and development pressure in this
specific area. Recent medium density residential development activity along the La Cholla corridor includes the
subject property, Rancho de Plata, Rancho de Cobre, Saguaros Viejos, Meritage at Naranja and a rezoning at
the southeast corner of Lambert and La Cholla. This recent and focused development activity demonstrates
there is current market demand in this area for medium density residential.
To compare supply of medium density residential in relation to demand, staff refined the numbers provided in
the October 7th staff report to delete areas which were not comparable (e.g. Stone Canyon) and to reflect
actual proposed development totals. For vacant areas, density assumptions were reduced to the midpoint of
the density range which is more reflective of actual development densities based on the Town’s
Environmentally Sensitive Lands section of the Zoning Code. This refined analysis resulted in a reduction of
the supply numbers from the previous reported number of 2,420 down to 1,993 units. A breakdown of these
supply units is as follows:
Category Number of Lots
Vacant lots in actively selling subdivisions 222
Projects approved since 2013 655
Projects Proposed Since 2013 900
Vacant Zoned & General Plan 216
Total 1,993
The revised application submitted by the applicant contains additional analysis relative to market absorption
over time of this projected supply of medium density residential units. Included within the revised submittal is
conclusions derived from a draft market demand report which is being prepared by Valbridge Property
Advisors. The applicant has provided a supplemental analysis projecting future growth of medium density
residential based on assumed timeframes of development by community, assumed rate of growth of the
market and an assumed absorption rate by community. This analysis is provided in Attachment 5.
It should be noted that the full market analysis has not been completed nor reviewed by staff and therefore
definitive conclusions cannot be reached. It also should be reinforced that an empirical market study is not
required by the General Plan which requires only that the Town wishes to be reasonably satisfied that a market
exists for the proposed land uses. Based on the information supplied, several observations are noted:
The analysis submitted by the applicant includes most of the supply numbers listed above, with the
exception of the 216 vacant / zoned units.
The analysis uses an expected annual growth rate of 5%, which in staff’s opinion is optimistic and
conflicts with the conclusions of Valbridge Property Advisors which suggest a more modest 2% annual
growth rate.
The analysis assumes an absorption rate by community of 2 homes per month. The current absorption
rate by community is actually higher at 2.5 – 3.0 homes per month, dependent on the specific
community.
The draft market demand study submitted by Valbridge Property Advisors concludes that there is
demand for approximately 100-200 townhouses, although the study is general in nature.
With the noted discrepancies, the analysis generally shows a reasonable relationship between supply and
demand of medium density residential units. Correction of the unit totals will result in a longer supply horizon
beyond the applicant’s forecast of 2022. Given the generalized nature of the General Plan policy and the
evaluation criteria, staff is reasonably satisfied that a market exists for the medium density land use with the
observation that absorption of the supply medium density will extend beyond the applicants forecast of 2022.
Commercial
In regard to the market to support the amount of commercially designated land in the plan, Valbridge Property
Advisors concludes that there is a market for approximately 200,000 additional square feet of retail space in
the neighborhood. The conclusions do not appear to account for the existing commercial zoning at the
northeast corner of Lambert and La Cholla. The back-up analysis supporting the market study conclusion for
200,000 sq. ft. of additional retail demand is general in nature. It is reasonable to anticipate additional
commercial will be needed, although the timeframe is uncertain and tied to residential growth.
Senior Care
The market demand study submitted by Valbridge Property Advisors concludes that there is demand for
approximately 200 new assisted living units in the neighborhood, although the study is general in nature. This
study notably does not account for all planned facilities in the Town including La Posada at 1st Avenue and
Naranja and All Seasons Care on Innovation Park Drive, north of Tangerine Road which are outside the study
area of the market study. The applicant has now eliminated senior care uses from the property, unless
developed in conjunction with the Casa Church expansion
4. The amendment will not adversely impact the community as a whole, or a portion of the community
without an acceptable means of mitigating these impacts through the subsequent zoning and
development processes.
Applicant’s Response – See Pages 6 and 7 of Attachment 5
Staff Comment:
The General Plan supports higher density development near major arterial streets and the proposed moderate
increase in density is consistent with this policy. Measures incorporated into the proposals to reduce impacts
on adjoining areas and the school district, including the measures listed in response to Criteria 2.
General Plan Vision, Goals and Policies Analysis
General Plan Amendments are also evaluated for consistency with the Vision, Goals and Policies of the
General Plan. The following is an analysis relative to the amendments consistency with the Vision and key
Policies in the General Plan.
General Plan Vision
To be a well planned community that uses its resources to balance the needs of today against the potential
impacts to future generations. Oro Valley’s lifestyle is defined by the highest standard of environmental
integrity, education, infrastructure, services, and public safety. It is a community of people working together to
create the Town’s future with a government that is responsive to residents and ensures the long-term financial
stability of the Town.
The Vision Statement from the General Plan emphasizes the need to carefully balance land use decisions
which respond to current conditions, against the long term impact to the community. The amendment provides
for an efficient use of planned infrastructure and addresses the socio-economic goals expressed in the Vision
Statement through the provision of nearby services in proximity to residential.
General Plan Policies
The applicant has provided analysis of the amendments conformance with adopted General Plan policies,
which is provided in Attachment 5.
Staff has evaluated the amendment against all General Plan policies, with notable polices identified below.
Policy 1.3.2 The Town shall encourage new development to locate uses that depend on convenient
transportation access (e.g. higher density residential and commercial) near major arterial
streets.
Policy 1.2.1 The Town shall maintain Oro Valley’s predominately low-density character while considering the
needs of financial stability and infrastructure efficiency.
The proposed density / intensity of the planned development is consistent with the policy supporting higher
density residential and commercial uses near major arterial streets. The planned expansion of La Cholla to a
four lane desert parkway represents a significant public investment in infrastructure to serve this area. The
proposed increase in planned intensity will promote the efficient use of this expanded infrastructure, in
conformance with the General Plan policy.
Policy 1.3.1 The Town shall encourage the location of residential neighborhoods close to activity centers
compatible with residential uses, and vice versa.
The proposed plan provides commercial uses and services in proximity to residential neighborhoods,
consistent with this policy.
Policy 1.4.3 The Town reasonably wishes to be satisfied that sufficient demand exists before authorizing a
higher land use intensity than the present zoning permits.
The applicant has generally demonstrated demand exists for the proposed single family residential uses,
although the timeframe for absorption of the supply will more than likely significantly longer than suggested by
the applicant based on discrepancies noted. The market study concludes there is additional demand for retail
and assisted living, although these conclusions cannot be independently verified by staff.
Policy 1.3.5 The Town shall encourage master planning that looks comprehensively at the subject properties
and all adjacent areas.
Policy 1.4.11 The Town shall establish procedures to ensure the coordinated development of vacant areas of
40 acres or more either under multiple or single ownership by requiring the development of
master plans for those areas. These master plans must consider and seek to minimize the
impact of development on all adjoining properties.
The applicant proposes a Special Area Policy requiring master planning of the property through the use of a
Planned Area Development (PAD) zoning application.is to comprehensively plan the property through the use
of master planning at the rezoning stage of development. This PAD will provide a coordinated and cohesive
circulation, utility, infrastructure phasing, land use, landscaping, recreational areas and architectural standards,
consistent with this policy.
Policy 5.4.1 The Town shall maintain a harmonious relationship between urban development and
development of the transportation network.
The proposed moderate overall density provides a complementary relationship between the planned
development and the transportation network. Expansion of La Cholla to a four lane parkway supports a
moderate increase in density along this corridor, but not at the density proposed by the applicant.
Policy 7.2.3 The Town shall allow and encourage master planned communities that offer high-quality
neighborhoods with a variety of residential densities and appropriately located commercial uses
to serve the community. In these developments, ensure there are adequate transitions and
buffers between uses.
The proposed amendment to master planned community would establish a variety of residential densities
along with support commercial and non-residential uses, consistent with this policy.
Policy 8.1.2 The Town shall identify and work to acquire a La Cholla corridor park site.
The current General Plan includes an open space designated property north of the northwest corner of La
Cholla and Lambert. The applicant has retained this parcel as a private recreational area to serve the planned
neighborhoods. The Town has analyzed this parcel and concluded that is too small to accommodate
community level park facilities.
Policy 6.1.2 The Town shall continue to require that all new developments be evaluated to determine
impacts on all public facilities within the Town, including but not limited to schools and roads.
Such impacts shall be used as criterion in deciding the approval or denial of land use rezoning
proposals.
As previously stated, the school district has provided a letter indicating that with the applicant’s commitment to
complete a donation agreement, the school district anticipates that they will be able to serve the expected
enrollment generated from the project.

SUMMARY:
The applicant proposes two Majo r General Plan Amendments to Master Planned Commun ity for 194
acres located at the southwest and northwest corners of La Chol la Boulevard and Naranja Drive
(Attachment 1). Th e proposed Master Planned Community contains a variety of residential and non-
resident ia l land uses as depicted on the applicant's Concept Plan (Attachment 2), including:
• Low, Medium and Hi gh Density Residential
• Open Space
• Senior Care Facility
The applicant also proposes Special Area Policies to guide future development of the property
(Attachment 3). The applicant's narrative , response to Code evaluation criteria and market study are

Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report
provided as Attachments 4A and 4B. The current and proposed General Plan Land Use Maps are
provided on Attachments 5 and 6.
Following the October 7t h Commission public hearing, another neighborhood meeting was held on
October 20th In addition, the applicant also met recently with a smaller group of residents to hear their
concerns. As a result, the proposed amendment has been modified by the applicant as follows:
• Elimination of apartments from the Master Planned Community and replacement with
townhouses { condominiums wi th a density not to exceed 12 homes per acre
• Narrowing the range of allowed uses in the High Density area to townhouses {co ndominiums,
medium density residential and senior care
• Elimination of the southern "flexible zone", replacing it with medium density residential
• Provision for a maximum 778 dwelling unit cap on the entire project area.
• Extending area of the one-story home restriction along the southern border
• Amended Special Area Policies to address previously raised staff issues
• Amended general plan amendment criteria and submittal of a market study
The above issues will be addressed in greater detail in the balance of this staff report.
In summary, conditions in the community ha ve changed which warrant reconsideration of the land use
densities and intensities along this corridor, specifically the funding of the expansion of La Cholla
Boulevard to a four lane parkway. The planned expansion of La Cholla will establish this roadway as a
primary north-south route through Oro Valley. General Plan policies support the location of higher
density { intensity uses along or near major arterial streets. The function and future traffic volume of this
major arterial roadway supports reconsideration of the existing land use designations and a moderate
intensification of land use along this corridor.
As a result of neighborhood input, the applicant has made significant modifications to the amendments
which reduce the impa ct of the planned development on adjacent areas. These modifications include
deletion of the planned apartments, removal of the church expansion, reduction in the range of uses
allowed on specific parcels and the inclusion of open space buffers and building height restrictions.
The proposals are consistent with the major general plan amendment re view criteria and general plan
goals and policies.

Existing General Plan Land Use Designation s (Attachment 5) The current Oro Valley General Plan
designates the property as follo ws:
Agenda Item 2A
• Rural Low Density Residential (0.0 -0.3 homes per acre)
• Lo w Density (0.4 -1.2 homes per acre)
• Medium Density Residential (2.1 -5.0 homes per acre)

The proposed amendment is to Master Planned Community, w hich is described as follows:
Master Planned Community: This land use designation refers to areas w here large multi-use
developments should be planned and developed in a comprehensive manner.
The proposed Master Planned Community is comprised of:
Agenda Item 2A
• Open Space
• Neighborhood Commercial /Office
• Low Density Reside ntia l (1.3 -2.0 homes per ac re)
• Medium Density Residential (2.1 -5.0 homes per acre)
• High Density (Up to 12 homes per acre)

Agenda Item 28
• Neighborhood Commercial/Office
• Medium Density Residential (2.1 -5.0 homes per acre)
En vironmentally Sensiti v e Lands (ESL) Conservation Categories (Attachment 7)
Th e property conta in s the foll owing ESL conservation categories:
• Critical Resource Area (CRA) Resources including was hes and riparian areas with a
95% open space requirement
OV1114-002 and OV1114-003 La Cholla and Naranja
Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report
Page 4 of14
• Resource Management Area (RMA) Tier I: Lower re source value lands with lower intensity
growth expectations in the General Plan , such as Low-Density residential , and includes a 66%
open space requirement
• Resource Management Area (RMA) Tier 2: Lo we r resource va lue lands with lower intensity
growth expectations in the General Plan , such as Lo w-Density residential, and includes a 25%
open space requirement
The ESL conservation system protects critical open space systems and linkages throughout the Town.
ESL provides strict requirements for h ighest value resources and more flexible ones in areas of lower
resource value. Riparian areas or very significant habitat features ha ve the highest conservation
requirements.
On the other end of the spectrum, lands designated as Resource Management Area (RMA) are
important but have the lowest resource value and lower conservation requirements. Unlike higher
resource val ue categories, including Major Wildlife Linkages (MWL), Critical Resource Areas (CRA),
and Core Resource Area (Core), the RMA designation is driven by growth expectations of the General
Plan. Each Resource Management Tier aligns with the anticipated level of growth reflected in the
General Plan. In other words, the General Plan designation determines the RMA Tier and subsequent
amount of conservation (open space).
Based on the proposed amendment, if approved, areas outside Critical Resource Area's will be
designated RMA Tier 2 and require 25% open space conservation. Previously, staff had indicated that
the area proposed on the western boundary as Lo w Density should be designated RMA Tier 1 and
require 66% open space conservation. After further analysis relati ve to the existing classification for the
other existing Master Planned Community areas, staff has concluded that this Lo w Density area should
be classified as RMA Tier 2 and require 25% open space. This determination is based on the overall
medium density character of the de ve lopment and that the Tier 2 classification would be consistent with
the other Master Planned Community referenced in the Environmentally Sensiti ve Lands section of the
Zoning Code.
Significant Resource Area Deletion
The applicant proposes to delete the Significant Resource Area designation on the southern portion of
the property. Thi s designation, adopted w ith the original General Plan in 2005, pro c eeded the To wn's
adoption of the En v ironmentally Sensitive Lands (ESL) regulations in 2011. The ESL ordinance
establishes comprehensive environmental conservation standards and regulations.
From a land use standpoint, retention of the SRA designation wi ll ha ve th e effect of limiting density to
the lowes t end of the density range (e.g. areas designated Lo w Density wo uld be limited to 1.3 homes
per acre and areas designated Medium Density would be limited to 2.1 homes per acre), which would
have a reduced environmental impact on the property. Beyond the density limitation , the Significant
Res ou rce Area designation does not provide any additional measure of environmental protection when
co mpared to the Tow n's ESL regulations. As the comprehensive standards established by the
En vironmentall y Sensitive Lands section of the Zoning Code provide for a s uperior level of resour ce
protection, staff is supportive of the applicant's request to delete the Significant Resource Area
designation .

DISCUSSION / ANALYSIS:
Land Use Plan Analysis
Page 5 of 14
The proposed Concept Plan (Attachment 2) provides for a range of single-family residential land uses,
townhouses/co ndominiums, parks and non-residential uses . The Concept Plan is pro vided for
illustrative purposes and wi ll not be formally adopted as part of the General Plan . The proposed master
planned community wraps around the existing Casas Adobes Baptist Church and incorporates the
existing Cross Road as the primary internal access to the development. A total of three access pOints
are proposed from La Cholla Boulevard and one access drive is provided from Lambert Lane.
A significant concern of staff and the neighborhood with the earlier proposa l was the inclusion of
apartments in the center portion of the property. Based on staff and neighborhood input, the applicant
has now eliminated the proposed apartments and replaced this use with townhouse/co ndominium
de velopment not to exceed 12 homes per acre.
Along the western boundary, the applicant proposes Low Density Residential with a maximum density
of 2.0 homes per acre to provide lower densities adjacent to the 3.3 acre lots to the west. A 200 foot
open space buffer and 300 foot one story home restriction along the western boundary adjacent to
existing homes w ill provide additional buffering to this lower density area. Based on neighborhood
input, the 300 fo ot one story single-family residential height restriction has been extended along the
southern boundary (Lambert Lane).
Neighborhood Commercial / Office parcels are proposed at the northwest and southwest corners of
Naranja Dri ve and La Cholla. Additionally , the applicant proposes an expansion of the existing
Neighborhood Commercial / Office property at the northwest corner of Lambert and La Cholla . The
proposed commercial parcels are consistent w ith General Plan polici es which support the location of
higher intenSity uses near major arterial streets. A Special Area Policy has been included providing a
back-up designation of Medium Density Residential within these commercial areas once all other
res idential areas ha ve developed. Discussio n relati ve to the market for future commercial is addressed
in the criteria analys is section of this report.
A number of previous concerns with the proposals have been addressed as follows :
• The applicant has modified the amendments to significantly red uce the amount of va riation in
land use. The southern "flexibility" area has be e n eliminated and now only permits medium
density residential. Furthermore, the ce nter area is now restricted to townhouse/co ndominiums,
senior care and medium density residential.
• The back-up designation for the commercial areas of medium den sity residential wou ld result in
the co mmercial areas being de ve loped as residential based on the typical market sequence
w hich prioritizes single-family residential, followed by commercial development. The applicant
ha s addressed this concern with a Special Area Policy which allows residential development on
the commercial parcels only after all other residential development within the property occurs.
• The lack of market analysis supporting the senior care uses within the property is addressed
under the criteria analysis sectio n of this report .
• A Special Area Polic y has been included requiring the recreation a l areas to be improved w ith a
commensurate level of amenities required by the Zoning Code . The Park s and Recreati o n
Director has reviewed th e site and determined that the size of the rec reati on areas is not
conducive t o a dedicated To w n park and therefore the recre ation al areas sho uld remain private.

In s ummary, th e moderate in cre ase in inte ns ity is co n sistent w ith the General Pl a n policies with re ga rd
to lo ca ting hi gher inten s ity use s ne ar major arterial streets. The mod e rat e intens it y w ill re su lt in an
efficient use of infra struct ure and comp lement th e planned expansion of La Cholla Bou levard . The
planned com mercial a reas are consistent w ith General Plan policies on loca tio n and scale of
comme rcial deve lopment. The appl icant has in corporated measures to address some ne ighborhood
co nce rns as f o llows :
• Estab li shed a maximum unit cap of 778 units w hi ch wi ll result in an overa ll density that is
comparable w ith the density of the residenti a l a re a to the east.
• Modified the proposed am e ndments to respo nd to neighborhood co nce rn s through the
elimination of the apartment use and church expansion and limiting the den s it y of the
to w nh ouses/cond omin ium s to 12 homes per acre .
• In cluded an ope n space buffer on the western bo un dary a nd building he igh t re strictions o n the
west and so uth which wi ll redu ce the imp act of deve lopment on th ese a reas.
Special Area Policy Analysis
The app li cant proposes a num ber of Special Area Pol icies to impleme nt the proposed Master Pl an ned
Commun ity (Attachment 3). Nota bl e e lements of th e Special Area Pol icie s are discussed in th e
preced ing Land U se Analysis section. Previous concerns with the policies ha ve been addressed as
follows:
• All la nd use designations w ill utilize General Plan land use descriptions
• A requ irement to ma ste r plan the property through th e use of a Planned Area De ve lopm en t
• Open space buffe r on th e west and s ingl e-story height restriction s on the wes t and south have
been inco r po rated
• Apartme nts have been deleted and replaced with townh ouses /condominiums not to e xcee d 12
homes per acre
• Medi um density development on comme rcia l parce ls ca n only occu r after all other reside ntia l in
the m aste r planned community a re developed
• A maximum of 778 residential dwelling units can be b uilt in the master planned community
• Clarification with re gard to th e a men it ies within the Park areas .
General Plan Amendment Evaluation Criteria Analysis, Section 22.2.0.3
General Pl an Amendments are evaluated for consistency w ith the General Plan Amendment crit eria in
th e Zoning Code. It is the burden of the app lica nt to present facts and othe r materials t o support these
criteria. Th e app li cant's response to eac h of the crit eria is provided be low in ita li cs followed by staff's
ana lysis of eac h criterion :
1 . The proposed change is necessary because conditions in the community have changed to
the extent that the plan requires amendment or modification.
Applicant's Response -See Pages 2 and 3 of Attachment 4
Staff Comment:
T he funding of the planned expansion of La Cholla Bou leva rd to a fou r lane desert parkway is a change
in conditions which su pport reconsideration of the planned den sit y and intensity along th is corr idor.
Vo ter authorization of the Regional Transportation Authority Plan occurred in 2006, after the 2005
OVl1l4-002 and OV1l14-003 La ChoUa and Naranja
Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report
Page 7 of14
ratification of the Oro Valley General Plan. The timing of the expansion is currently planned for 2021 ,
but the Town is no w working with the RTA to move the planned expansion up to accommodate the
additional projected traffic volume of this roadway.
Expanding La Cholla Boulevard to a parkway will provide another important major north-south
transportation corridor within the community and warrants re-evaluation of the planned land uses . A
moderate increase in density / intensity is supported by the General Plan policy which provides that
higher density uses should be located near major arterial streets. Increasing the planned density and
intensity of development based on the expansion of La Cholla Boulevard represents an efficient use of
public infrastructure , a concept which is also supported by General Plan policy.
2. The proposed change is sustainable by contributing to the socio-economic betterment of the
community, while achieving community and environmental compatibility.
App/icant 's Response -See Page 3 of Attachment 4
Staff Comment:
The planned variety of residential uses, supported by retail and office development contributes to the
overall socio-economic opportunities within this area. A balanced land use plan reduces vehicle trips
on adjacent roadways and reduces traffic congestion. Nearby commercial services also creates
walkable neighborhoods by promoting non-motorized travel to access goods and services.
Employment opportunities also contribute to the socio-economic betterment of residents through
reduced traffic impact and transportation costs.
The proposed concept plan ach ieves environmental compatibility through conformance with the Town's
adopted Environmentally Sensitive Lands ordinance and preservation of the natural wash corridors
through the site.
In terms of neighborhood compatibility , a number of mitigation measures have been included in the
proposals:
• The proposed Low Density along the western boundary of the property address compatibility
with the 3.3 acre lots to the west.
• Open space and one story residential building height limitations on the west and south
boundaries to reduce the impact on adjacent areas .
• Elimination of the planned apartments which had been the major concern of a majority of
residents who spoke at the neighborhood meetings and the October 71h Planning and Zoning
Commission meeting. The plan now proposes townhouse/condominium uses limited to 12
homes per acre in the center portion of the property .
• Establishment of a maximum unit cap of 778 units which will result in an overall density that is
comparable with the density of the residential area to the east.
3. The proposed change reflects market demand which leads to viability and general community
acceptance.

Staff Comment:
Page 8 of14
General Plan polic y states that the Tow n "reasonably" wishes to be satisfied that market demand exists
for the land uses proposed in the application. It should be acknowledged that market demand beyond
the 2-3 year timeframe is difficult to predict. It also should be noted that demand and suppl y in a free
market economy are never perfectly synchronized and a margin of supply above demand is normal.
Residential
As of 2013 the Town was approximately 80% built out for single family residential development. Of the
remaining vacant land left in the Town , this area represents one of the few remaining large tracts of
vacant land . This condition has resulted in a significant amount of recent growth and development
pressure in this specific area. Recent medium density residential development activity along the La
Cholla corridor includes the subject property, Rancho de Plata , Rancho de Cobre , Saguaros Viejos,
Meritage at Naranja and a rezoning at the southeast corner of Lambert and La Cholla. This re ce nt and
focused development activity demonstrates there is current market demand in this area for medium
density residential.
To compare supply of medium density residential in relation to demand, staff refined the numbers
provided in the Octobe r 7 th staff report to delete areas which were not co mparable (e .g. Stone Canyon)
and to reflect actual proposed de velop ment totals. For vaca nt areas , density assumptions we re
reduced to the midpoint of the density range which is more reflective of actual development densities
based on the Town 's Environmentally Sensitive Lands section of the Zoning Code . This refined
analysis resulted in a reduction of the supply numbers from the previ ou s reported number of 2,420
dow n to 1,993 units . A breakdown of these supply units is as follows :
Category Number of Lots
Va cant lots in ac tive ly se lling subdivisions 222
Projects app roved s ince 20 13 655
Projects P roposed Sin ce 201 3 900
Vac ant Zoned & General Plan 2 16
Total 1,993
The re vised application submitted by the applicant contains additional a nal ysis relati ve to market
absorpti o n over time of this projecte d supply of medium den si ty resid e ntial units. Included w ithin the
revised s ubmittal is co nclusion s derived from a draft market demand report which is being prepared by
Valbridge Property Advisors. The applicant has provided a s upplemental analysis projecting future
growth of medium density re s idential based on assumed timeframes of development by community,
assumed rate of growth of the market and an assumed absorption rate by com mun ity. Th is analysis is
pro vi ded on Attachment 4B.
It should be noted that the full market analysis has not been completed nor re v ie wed by staff and
therefore definitive co nclusion s ca nnot be rea c hed. It also s hould be reinfo rced that an empirical
marke t stud y is not requ ired by the General Plan wh ic h requires only that the To wn wishes to be
rea sonab ly satisfied that a market ex ists for the proposed land u ses. Ba sed on th e information
supplied, several observations are noted:
• Th e analysis subm itted by th e applicant include s most of the s upp ly num be rs listed above , wi th
the exceptio n of the 216 vac ant I zoned units.
OV1l14-002 and OV1l14-003 La Cholla and Naranja
Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report
Page 9 of 14
• The analysis reflects 626 units for the subject property, not the 778 units proposed by Special
Area Policy.
• The analysis uses an expected annual growth rate of 5%, w hich in staff's opinion is optimistic
and conflicts with the conclusions of Valbridge Property Advisors w hich suggest a more modest
2% annual growth rate .
• Th e analysis assumes an absorption ra te by community of 2 homes per month. The current
absorption rat e by community is actually higher at 2.5 -3.0 homes per month, dependent on the
specific community.
• The draft market demand study submitted by Valbridge Property Advisors concludes that there
is demand for approximately 100-200 townhouses, although the study is general in nature .
With the noted discrepancies, the analysis generally shows a reasonable relation shi p between supply
and demand of medium density residential units. Correction of the unit totals will result in a longer
supply horizon beyond the applicant's forecast of 2022. Given the generalized nature of the General
Plan policy and the evaluation criteria, staff is reasonabl y satisfied that a market exists for the medium
density land use w ith the observation that absorption of the supply medium density will extend beyond
the applicants forecast of 2022.
Commercial
In regard to the market to support the amount of commercial ly designated land in the plan, Valbridge
Property Advisors concl udes that there is a market for approximately 200,000 additional square feet of
retail space in the neighborhood . The conclusions do not appear to account for the existing commercial
zoning at the northeast corner of Lambert and La Cholla. The back-up analysis supporting the market
study conclusion for 200,000 sq . ft. of additional retail demand is general in nature. It is reasonable to
anticipate add ition al commercia l wil l be needed, a lthoug h the timefram e is uncertain and tied to
resident ia l growth.
Senior Care
Th e market demand study submitted by Val bridge Property Advisors concludes that there is demand
for approximately 200 new assisted living units in the neighborhood, although the study is general in
nature . This study notably does not account for all planned facilities in the Town including La Posada
at 1st Avenue and Naranja and All Seasons Care on Inno vation Park Dri ve, north of Tangerine Road
wh ich are outside the s tudy area of the market study. Th e applicant has ind icated that they wi ll be
seeking a niche of senior care not currently add ressed by the above referenced planned facilities .
4. The amendment will not adversely impact the community as a whole, or a portion of the
community without an acceptable means of mitigating these impacts through the subsequent
zoning and development processes.
Applicant 's Response -See Pages 6 and 7 of Attachment 4
Staff Comment:
Th e General Plan supports higher density deve lopme nt near major arterial streets and the proposed
moderate increase in densi ty is consistent wi th this policy. Measures in corpo rated into the proposals to
reduce impacts on adjoin ing areas and the schoo l district, including:
• The proposed plan internalizes the h igher density and intensity land uses away from the lower
density areas to the west.

Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report
Page 10 of 14
• To address compatibility concerns raised by residents to south along Lambert, the revised plan
extended the 300 foot single-story residential building height limitation along Lambert Lane.
• The modified plan eliminates the planned apartments which had been the major concern of a
majority of residents who spoke at the neighborhood meetings and the October 7 th Planning and
Zoning Commission meeting . The plan now proposes townhouse I condominium uses limited to
12 homes per acre.
• The applicant has established a maximum unit cap of 778 units which will result in an overall
density that is comparable with the density of the residential area to the east.
• The applicant has met with Amphitheater School District who have provided a letter indicating
that with the applicant's commitment to complete a donation agreement, the school district
anticipates that they will be able to serve the expected enrollment generated from the project.
(Attachment 10).
General Plan Vision, Goals and Policies Analysis
General Plan Amendments are also evaluated for consistency with the Vision, Goals and Policies of the
General Plan. The following is an analysis relative to the amendments consistency with the Vision and
key Policies in the General Plan.
General Plan Vision
To be a well planned community that uses its resources to balance the needs of today against the
potential impacts to future generations. Oro Valley 's lifestyle is defined by the highest standard of
environmental integrity, education, infrastructure, services, and public safety. It is a community of
people working together to create the Town's future with a government that is responsive to residents
and ensures the long-term financial stability ofthe Town.
The Vision Statement from the General Plan emphasizes the need to carefully balance land use
decisions w hi ch respond to current conditions, against the long term impact to the community. The
amendment provides for an efficient use of planned infrastructure and addresses the socio-economic
goals expressed in the Vision Statement through the provision of nearby services in proximity to
residential.
General Plan Policies
The applicant has provided analysis of the amendments co nformance with adopted General Plan
policies, which is provided in Attachment 4.
Staff has evaluated the amendment against all General Plan policies, with notable polices identified
below.
Policv 1.3.2 Th e Town shall encourage new development to locate uses that depend on convenie nt
tran sportation access (e.g. higher density residential and commercia/) near major
arterial streets.
Policv 1.2.1 The Town shall maintain Oro Valley's predominately low-den sity character while
conSidering the needs of financial stability and infrastructure efficiency.
The proposed density I intensity of the planned de ve lopment is consis tent with the policy suppo rting
higher density residential and commerc ial uses near major arterial streets. The planned expansion of
La Cholla t o a four lan e desert parkway repre sen ts a significant public in vest ment in infra st ru cture to
OVI114-002 and OV1114-003 La Cholla and Naranja
Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report
Page 11 of 14
serve this area . The proposed increase in planned intensity will promote the efficient use of this
expanded infrastructure, in conformance with the General Plan policy.
Policy 1.3. 1 The Town shall encourage the location of residential neighborhoods close to activity
centers compatible with residential uses, and vice versa.
The proposed plan provides commercial uses and services in proximity to residential neighborhoods,
consistent with this policy.
Policy 1.4.3 The Town reasonably wishes to be satisfied that sufficient demand exists before
authorizing a higher land use intensity than the present zoning permits.
The applicant has generally demonstrated demand exists for the proposed single family residential
uses, although the timeframe for absorption of the supply will more than likely significantly longer than
suggested by the applicant based on discrepancies noted . The market study concludes there is
additional demand for retail and assisted living, although these conclusions cannot be independently
verified by staff.
Policy 1.3.5 The Town shall encourage master planning that looks comprehensively at the subject
properties and all adjacent areas.
Policy 1.4.11 The Town shall establish procedures to ensure the coordinated development of vacan t
areas of 40 acres or more either under multiple or single ownership by requiring the
development of master plans for those areas. These master plans must consider and
seek to minimize the impact of development on all adjoining properties.
The applicant proposes a Special Area Policy requiring master planning of the property through the use
of a Planned Area Development (PAD) zoning application.is to comprehensively plan the property
through the use of master planning at the rezoning stage of development. This PAD will provide a
coordinated and cohesive circulation, utility, infrastructure phasing, land use , landscaping, re creational
areas and architectural standards, consistent with this policy.
Policy 5.4.1 The Town shall maintain a harmonious relationship between urban development and
development of the tran sporlation network.
The proposed moderate overall density provides a compleme ntary r e lationship between the planned
development and the transportation network. Expansion of La Cholla to a four lane parkway supports a
moderate increase in density along this corridor, but not at the density proposed by the applicant.
Policy 7.2.3 The Town shall allow and encourage master planned communities that offer high-quality
neighborhoods with a variety of residentia l densities and appropriately located
co mmercial uses to serve the community. In these developments, ensure there are
adequate transitions and buffers between uses.
The proposed amendment to ma ste r planned community would establish a variety of residential
densities along with support commercial and non-residential uses , consistent with this poli cy.
P olicy 8.1.2 Th e Town shall identify and work to acquire a La Cholla corridor park site.
Th e current General Plan includes an open space designated property north of the northwest co rner of
La Cholla and La mb ert. The applicant has retained thi s parcel as a private recreational area to serve
OV1114-002 and OV1114-003 La Cholla and Naranja
Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report
Page 12 of 14
the planned neighborhoods. The Town has analyzed this parce l and concluded that is too small to
accommodate community level park facilities.
Policy 6. 1.2 Th e Town shall continue to require that all new developments be evaluated to
determine impacts on all public facilities within the Town , including but not limited to
schools and roads. Such impacts shall be used as criterion in deciding the approval or
denial of land use rezoning proposals.
As previously stated, the school district has provided a letter indicating that with the applicant's
commitment to complete a donation agreement, the school district anticipates that they will be able to
serve the expected enrollment generated from the project.

Neighborhood Meeting Summary
La Cholla & Naranja Southwest and Northwest
Major General Plan Amendments
September 10, 2014
6:00 – 7:30 PM
Ironwood Ridge High School – Library Lecture Hall
5. Introductions and Welcome
Approximately 90 residents and interested parties attended the meeting, including Vice Mayor
Waters and Council Members Snider, Zinkin, and Hornat. Two Planning and Zoning
Commissioners were also in attendance.
Meeting Facilitator Bayer Vella welcomed the residents. Mr. Vella explained the purpose of the
neighborhood meeting and outlined several objectives which were intended to be accomplished.
The previous neighborhood meetings were very productive in hearing resident concerns.
Tonight’s format was designed to allow for Town staff to cover the “givens” with the review of
any development application; specifically traffic, drainage, water and schools. The applicant will
then present their revised plan and respond to issues raised at the earlier meetings. The
meeting will then transition into an open house format where residents can visit stations
covering water, traffic and drainage, general plan and public participation and applicant. The
goal is to allow for residents to be able to ask focused questions and receive detailed answers.
Each station has a note pad for residents to write specific comments, which will be reflected in
the summary notes for the meeting.
6. Staff Presentation
Chad Daines, Principal Planner, provided a presentation that included:
• Current designations and allowed density/intensity
• Context Area including existing density/intensity
• Proposed Master Planned Community
• Traffic Overview
• Drainage Overview
• Water Overview
• Review tools including amendment review criteria
7. Applicant Presentation James Kai, Applicant, provided an overview of his family’s
involvement as a property owner in the area over the years. Mr. Kai provided comments
relative to the role of the Kai family in bringing sewer into this area in conjunction with the
construction of Ironwood Ridge High School and Wilson Elementary and his family’s
commitment to responsible growth within the community.
Paul Oland from the planning firm WLB provided an overview of the revised development
plan including changing the western boundary to low density, reduction of the northern
parcel to eliminate the flex zone north of Naranja, reduction in the allowed flexibility in the
core and flex areas, and provision for recreation areas on La Cholla and the main wash
corridor along Cross Road. Mr. Oland addressed the following summary issues from the
earlier neighborhood meetings:
• Lack of defined land uses
• Maintain rural / low density
• Traffic / Drainage
• No commercial / Apartments
• Need for parks, open space and trails
• Water Availability
• Environmental impact
• Noise, light and air pollution
• Visual impacts
• Public safety impacts
• School impacts
• Lack of market demand
8. Open House Stations were staffed for Water, Traffic and Drainage, General Plan and
Public Participation and Applicant. The following comments were recorded at each station:
Land Use Comments
• Leave the land from Glover to Naranja along La Cholla designated as rec area and
open space. No building at all, except the already designated corner on Naranja
and La Cholla.
• Keep flex land in the center of the property off Lambert. Senior Living and
apartments will be an eyesore if allowed on Lambert.
• Apartments and 2 stories will destroy views.
• No Senior Living.
• No apartments – No pride of ownership.
• Keep all apartments and townhomes to 2 stories only to maintain views.
• No apartments – the residents are not vested in the community.
• Enough commercial is available one mile to the north, east and south.
• No commercial at La Cholla and Naranja.
• No apartments.
• No commercial at La Cholla and Naranja.
• 100 yard buffer on west side is inadequate (ditto).
• Too many people for unit of land as a result of apartments. We are not Scottsdale.
Apartments encourage transiency. Let’s keep our beautiful desert as open as
possible.
• We have enough apartments in Oro Valley.
• Transitions among designations are erratic with core and flex areas.
• No apartments. Renters do not have a vested interest in property and they don’t
take as good care of it as someone who owns it.
• Transition from La Canada to Shannon is not consistent.
• One row of one story homes is not enough to not destroy views.
• Apartments destroy the view and feel of Sonoran Desert as stated in the Oro Valley
vision.
• Oro Valley will become like the Foothills area which people moved to Oro Valley to
get away from.
• Better definition of flex and core areas in Master Planned language – not made up.
• Objection to increasing commercial. Use property at La Cholla and Naranja.
• Who determines what kind of business is permitted on the commercial property?
What is the criteria? A carwash? A Circle K? 24 hour liquor store?
• Object to commercial at Naranja. One mile in three directions has commercial on
the current General Plan.
• Safe means to me: No commercial, knowing my voter approved General Plan is
going to be.
• No apartments – they don’t have a vested interest in the community.
• No apartments.
• Area removed from application – Glover to Naranja – please leave it a park or rec
area.
• Lighting issue southeast to homes.
• Commercial property value to homes.
• No apartments.
• No retirement.
Environment
• Not consistent with Oro Valley Sonoran Desert protection.
• How are the plans addressing the SRA and ESL Ordinance.
• Not enough open space.
• Oro Valley is a beautiful area and developing this plan will destroy the desert area.
Traffic
• Naranja access – Par Drive – No left turn?
• La Cholla access – Divot Drive – No left turn?
• Additional traffic lights between Lambert to Naranja.
• Traffic on Shannon needs to be addressed. Shannon and Lambert traffic issues are
already horrible at Ironwood Ridge High School start and stop hours.
• Par Drive needs street sign at entry from Naranja.
Water
• Just because we have water available doesn’t mean we have to use it up.
General Plan Criteria and Process
• No one showed what major changes (other than widening La Cholla) have occurred
to make it necessary to amend the General Plan.
• Wait for General Plan revisions.
Other
• The residents should know if it would be positive. Did anyone from the Town or
WLB ask about how we feel? Not that we remembered.
• The format tonight seemed too chaotic.
• Not a neighborhood meeting. Next time allow group questions and answers.
• Current owners bought residences because of current zoning – why should they be
subject to the financial interest of developers?

need for an increase for housing whether it be low or high density.
Betty Danker, Oro Valley resident, expressed her concerns with the following:
commercial being built in the area, the dark sky will be impacted, access off of La Cholla
with Divot Drive being the only access and making left hand turns. Ms. Danker went on
to ask the Commission to consider an access lane.
Roslyn Nemke, Oro Valley resident, stated she is an advocate for the Citizen Advocate
for Oro Valley's General Plan and went on to ask the Commission to not recommend
the amendments and leave the General Plan as is. Amendments should be based on
significant change and there seems to be more concern with owners, developers and
future residents than there is for the current residents who are adversely impacted.
John Lay, Oro Valley resident, stated he is opposed to high density and is open to
change in plans, just not high density. Maybe graduate to two acre lot and he doesn't
care much for the apartment idea.
Tom Myatt, Oro Valley, resident, stated he is opposed to the significant resource
area deletion. The current designation is consistent with the existing development to
the south of the property and should remain as is. A lower density area to the south
should be considered and the existing walking paths in Oro Valley are being used as
recreational purposes and don't believe they are being used to access commercial. Mr.
Myatt doesn't believe there is a support for any additional commercial development on
this property.
Joe Bailes, Oro Valley resident, stated he is pro-business and pro- development and he
does not like high density. When the apartment get older and in order to be competitive
the rent will be lowered. The Commission needs to take responsibility and turn this
around and not let it happen.
Don Bristow, Oro Valley resident, stated that everything in Oro Valley is in a
convenient distance of residential areas. Mr. Bristow went on to question, is there
really a demand for commercial/professional offices? The applicant has not
submitted any facts that support the need for additional multi-family homes in Oro
Valley. Mr. Bristow commented that he did some research and the Town has not
documented to support the claim that the Vantana Medical Center requires high end
housing units for their employees.
Karen Stratman, Oro Valley resident, commented that Ironwood Ridge High School is in
the middle of the proposed development. Students and educators travel along La
Cholla which is already overcrowded. Ms. Stratman agrees with keeping the area
October 7, 2014 Planning & Zoning Commission Page 5 of 6
residential and low/medium density and allowing th e environmental sensitive lands
ordinance to guide development will result in people coming to this area.
Gary Meyers, Oro Valley resident, expressed his concern with traffic, water and
drainage. Mr. Meyers also commented that he didn't like the format of the
neighborhood meeting held on September 10th. Attendees of the meeting were not
able to hear all the questions/answers. He opposes the proposed amendments and is
proud of the members of this community for standing up for the character of Oro Valley.
Rick Harris, Oro Valley resident, commented that the proposal is going to make this
community look like any other community. The Planning Department cannot prove that
it is required to change the General Plan. Mr. Harris choose to live in Oro Valley
because of the schools. The developer needs to go back and look at this proposal.
Connie Inboden, Oro Valley resident, commented that her idea of well planned
community is to have separate residential, commercial and open space as a
buffer. The owners of the property have a right to make a profit on their investment, but
would make a tidy profit for single family homes. Ms. Inboden is asking the Commission
not to approve the proposed amendment.
Bill Adler, Oro Valley resident, commented on community acceptance. Mr. Adler went
on to comment about targeting specific uses and neighbors having the right to know
what a commercial piece of property will provide. Apartments are not desirable and do
not provide any architectural or visible appearance that is desirable.
Eric Kleil, non-Oro Valley resident, stated to compare La Cholla to La Canada is unfair
because what is already there is completely different. In the proposal the buffer to the
west should be larger and what is already here needs to be factored in. People need to
live in apartments, but apartments make no sense on this property.
Chair Cox closed public hearing.

Chairman Cox opened the public hearing.
Roslyn Nemke, Oro Valley resident, asked the Commission to deny the amendments
and to leave the General Plan as is. Ms. Nemke voiced her concern with commercial in
the area along with safety issues for students. Assisted living and senior care facilities
might be needed in Oro Valley, but these uses would exacerbate traffic
problems. Townhomes and commercial in the middle of a single family residential area
does not seem like sound planning. After speaking to a number of residents, the
consensus was that no one is willing to walk to shopping and traveling by car will be
more difficult.
Richard Tracy, Oro Valley resident, voiced his concerns with traffic, population and
safety. Mr. Tracy still remains undecided until he becomes better informed.
Donald Bristow, Oro Valley resident, commented that the Town's economic strategies
specify that the Town shall continue to attract new high end retail and service
businesses, especially those in underrepresented categories in order to help
reduce expenditure leakage. The Commission needs to take a closer look at the zoning
requirements and the way this land is addressed in the General Plan.
Bill Ball, Oro Valley resident, echoes what Roslyn Nemke has to say about the
proposed commercial. The applicant's documents on pages 59-60 refers to strip
commercial. Mr. Ball indicated that he is not against commercial, but he is against
veering from the Town's plan as approved by the voters.
Tom Danker, Oro Valley resident, expressed his concern with the egress and ingress
from La Cholla into Canada Hills at Catalina Drive. He was concerned with being
blocked from making a southbound turn onto La Cholla. Mr. Danker would like to be a
part of a task force that looks at the egress and ingress from La Cholla. Another
concern of Mr. Danker is whether La Cholla can handle all the projected traffic.
Betty Danker, Oro Valley resident, voiced her concern with making a left hand turn onto
La Cholla from her street. Ms. Danker is asking the Town to look at a possibility of an
access road.
Gary Meyers, Oro Valley resident, commented that the request does not address the
concerns of the neighbors. He was concerned with the level of density proposed. The
Town seems more responsive to the developer than with its current residents.
Larry Hudson, Oro Valley resident, questioned how La Cholla would be realigned and
whether it would require an elevated roadway over the wash. Mr. Hudson expressed his
concern with the medium density housing and how close homes will be built to the wash
area. He asked the Commission to vote no.
Joe Snapp, Oro Valley resident, commented that he feels like the silent majority of the
Town that don't get involved. What is being proposed makes sense and revenue is
needed to drive the growth of a town and improve the roads. People need to drill down
to the specifics and this is what the people need to focus on. Mr. Snapp commented
that he is favor of the proposed amendments.
Darin Hoffmann, Oro Valley resident and representing the Casas Church Leadership,
commented that he is favor of the proposed amendments to the General Plan. It
creates options that will allow Casas Church utilize their property in the future. This
proposal has produced a good compromise that creates opportunity for taxable revenue
and space for new people to join our beautiful city.
Bruce McDaniel, Oro Valley resident, expressed his concerns with the traffic studies
and drainage.
Karen Stratman, Oro Valley resident, stated there are still a number of problems with
this proposal that have not been addressed. In the past, there have been a lot of
promises made by developers to create the perfect vision, only to fall through on those
promises. Ms. Stratman sees no need for senior care on this property and there is no
market demand for it. There is no community acceptance of the
amendments. Increased commercial at Naranja and La Cholla needs more study.
Jeff Grobstein, Oro Valley resident, stated that the owners have owned the property for
a long time. He is excited about a more diverse master plan that will bring a great vision
to a great property within a great community. The planning that is proposed will raise
everyone's property values. The positive economic impact coupled with the smart
planning and growth and layered with the rigid constraints of the policies fully supports a
change to the General Plan.
Bill Adler, Oro Valley resident, stated that he is not opposed to the development, but he
expects good development and he expects developments to comply with the rules. Mr.
Adler expressed his concern with the failure of the neighborhood meeting process and
with the failure to achieve community acceptance.
Dave Perry, Oro Valley resident, stated that the Greater Oro Valley Chamber of
Commerce's is in support of the proposal. The character around La Cholla is going to
change because the RTA will build a four lane divided desert parkway. It makes sense
to concentrate impacts along La Cholla with some higher density housing, office and
commercial uses clustered at major intersections and near the roadway. There is
greater community concern at play, Oro Valley needs wise growth which includes
neighborhood, commercial, retail and office uses along busy roadways. These general
plan amendments represent a reasonable and intelligent, considerate, forward thinking
way to develop Oro Valley's dwindling supply of land.
Ron Bliss, Oro Valley resident, stated his opposition to the proposal because it doesn't
meet the legal standards required of a major amendment to the General Plan. In order
for this amendment to be adopted, it has to meet the four criteria. The only things we
have heard today is that the demand is not here but it’s coming, and a bigger roadway
is planned which justifies a bigger population.
Trace Paulette, Oro Valley resident, stated that the requested plan is very reasonable
and should be approved. Development like this is important to Oro Valley's future
economic welfare.
Chairman Cox closed the public hearing.
