The applicant has two requests as follows: First is the rezoning from the existing R1-144 zoning to R1-7 to provide for a 37 lot residential subdivision. Secondly, the applicant requests approval of the use of one flexible design options enabled by the Town’s Environmentally Sensitive Lands section of the Zoning Code. The requested option is the use of a modified review which I will cover later in my presentation. 38 Primary Issues Planning and Zoning Commission Traffic / Access View preservation Project’s compatibility with rural lots 3-plus acre lots, R1-144 3-plus acre lots, SR 1 acre lots, R1-36 and R1-20 10K sq. ft. lots, R1-7 and R1-10 5K sq. ft. lots, R-6 and R-4 La Cañada Drive Tangerine Road 3/4 acre lots, R1-36 In addition to the neighborhood meeting held in conjunction with the general plan amendment in 2013, the applicant conducted two neighborhood meetings for the proposed rezoning: -July 28th -October 29th Input Received: -Traffic / Access -Building Height -Compatibility -Drainage 39 General Plan Amendment Proposed Rezoning Lot size transition 40 – 45 lots 10,000 sq. ft. 7,000 sq. ft. Density: 2.5 homes per acre cap Compatibility Lot size transition 37 lots 10,000 sq. ft. 8,000 sq. ft. Density: 2.3 homes per acre Compatibility 40 Access Map Proposed Access Sunkist Road La Cañada Drive Tangerine Road A primary issue with review of the application was proposed access to the property. There are existing median breaks along La Canada, but using these access points would require residential traffic to pass through the Technology Park, which was not a preferred option for that reason. The preferred option recommended by staff was to use Sunkist Road as the access point to the subdivision. This road is dedicated as part of the adjacent subdivision and has a median break on La Canada. Today, residential traffic from the west use unimproved dirt access points onto La Canada, which is not a safe condition. The extension of Sunkist Road will create a safe and improved condition to this road. Sunkist Road La Cañada Drive Neighborhood Participation Sunkist Road Tangerine Road Traffic / Access View preservation Project’s compatibility with rural lots 43 44 Planning and Zoning Commission Issues Compatibility with rural lots to north and west Sunkist Road Tangerine Road Mature mesquite trees 1-story lot restriction The proposed R1-7 zoning is consistent with the 2.5 homes per acre limitation placed on the General Plan The applicant’s proposal results in a density at 2.3 homes per acre The proposed Tentative Development Plan is consistent with the lot size, density and concept plan submitted in conjunction with the general plan amendment and also is consistent with the R1-7 zoning district. In fact, the lot sizes are larger and the density is smaller. In total, the applicant proposes 37 lots served by a single access point off Sunkist Road. Two recreational areas are proposed, one in the center portion and on in the southern portion of the development. In addition to the larger lots, the applicant has included a 14 foot wide landscaped buffer along the western border adjacent to the larger lots to the west. 45 Recommendation Complies with General Plan Future Land Use Map The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends denial Conditions of Approval Town of Oro Valley A concern of neighbors on the north side of Sunkist Road was headlight illumination from traffic leaving the residential subdivision. A condition has been included requiring landscaping or other screening method on the north side of Sunkist Road to screen the headlights of vehicles leaving the development. The applicant has been working with the neighbors on the north side of the road and has developed a landscape concept to address the headlight issue. 48 Planning and Zoning Commission Sunkist Road La Cañada Dr. 3-plus acre lots 1 acre lots 3/4 acre lots 3-plus acre lots In addition to the neighborhood meeting held in conjunction with the general plan amendment in 2013, the applicant conducted two neighborhood meetings for the proposed rezoning: -July 28th -October 29th Input Received: -Traffic / Access -Building Height -Compatibility -Drainage 49 R1-7 Development Standards Setbacks: 20’ Front, 7.5’ Side and 20’ Rear Building height: 25’, two-stories Lot width: 70’ R-4 R-6 Tangerine Road La Cañada Drive Sunkist Road Pima County SR 51 Environmentally Sensitive Lands 95% Open Space (Critical Resource Area) 25% Open Space (RMA Tier 2) La Cañada Drive Tangerine Road Previous Design Revised Design Tech Park / Commercial 2004: GP Amendment approved 2007: Rezoning approved 2008: Development Plan approved In terms of the Commercial and Tech Park (shown in purple), this area was General Planned in 2004, zoned in 2007 and in 2008 the Development Plan was approved. That left the remaining 16 acres to the west, which was planned last year and I’ll cover that action in the next slide. 55 56 The Residences at Miller Ranch | Oro Valley Rezoning Application Town Council Hearing | 3.4.2015 57 Miller Ranch | Vicinity Map Pima County Oro Valley 58 Miller Ranch | Approved Development Plan Miller Ranch | Commercial & Technology Park General Plan Amendment Approved in 2004 Rezoning Approved in 2007 Development Plan Approved in 2010 59 Miller Ranch | Approved GP Amendment General Plan Amendment: General Plan Designation Medium Density Residential Proposed Residential Program Proposed: 40 Lots / 2.5 RAC Proposed Lot Size: West Side: Min. 10,000 SF East Side: Min. 7,000 SF Approved by Town Council February 5, 2014 60 Miller Ranch | Rezoning Application Existing Zoning Designation: R1-144 Single-Family Residential District Proposed Zoning Designation: R1-7 Single-Family Residential District 61 Miller Ranch | Development Patterns Development Patterns Diversity of residential densities in the vicinity Town Council approved the MDR(2.1-5.0 RAC) General Plan designation with a maximum allowable density of 2.5 RAC MDR - Medium-Density Residential is where single-family detached, townhouse, or patio home development is suitable.
