Bower, Julie; Boyer, Chuck
Thank you
I want to thank you for both going above and beyond the call of duty to help ADOT have a successful Partnering meeting
for the SR 77 Tangerine Road to Pinal County Line project yesterday.
Michelle, despite the previous night's meeting, I know you went out of your way to set up the table and chairs for us the
evening before, and I can't tell you how much that was appreciated! Thank you too for all the direction and help you
gave us about accessing the room, sending the room diagram, etc. You could not have been more helpful.
Jason, it was great to have you explain the equipment to me, download the PowerPoint and then make sure you were
on hand to help me in the morning before the workshop and also be available at any time should I need your help.
Oro Valley must be proud to have you on staff. You two are truly outstanding!
Thank you,
Linda

Meeting Date:06/18/2014
Requested by: David Laws
Submitted By:David Laws, Development Infrastructure Services
Department:Development Infrastructure Services
Information
SUBJECT:
Resolution No. (R)14-35, authorizing and approving abandonment of a portion of the Pebble Creek Drive
right-of-way
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Maracay 91 LLC has requested that a portion of Town-owned right-of-way along W. Pebble Creek
Drive be abandoned so that it can be re-aligned to allow for construction of the proposed 342 lot Maracay
at Vistoso subdivision. This segment of right-of-way encompasses the uncompleted roadway
link between the northern-most paved segment of La Canada Boulevard and the southern-most paved
segment of W. Pebble Creek Drive, which is currently not open for use by the public.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
The right-of-way for La Canada Drive and Pebble Creek Drive, north of Moore Road, was dedicated to
the Town by Vistoso Partners, LLC in 2003. Only the portion of La Canada Drive between Moore
Road and the Vistoso Golf Course was completely constructed. The remaining segment, known as
Pebble Creek Drive, was only partially completed with constructed underground utilities and an unpaved
roadway prism. Maracay's proposed design of their development is to abandon the existing right-of-way
for the uncompleted portion of Pebble Creek Drive and re-align it with the new final plat for the area.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is a minor positive impact because the Town will collect various permit and impact fees
with development of the project.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
I MOVE to (adopt or deny) Resolution No. (R)14-35, authorizing and approving abandonment of a portion
of the W. Pebble Creek Drive right-of-way as described in the legal descriptions and exhibits in
Attachment 2.

Information
SUBJECT:
Block Plat for the Maracay at Vistoso subdivision in Rancho Vistoso, Neighborhoods 10 and 11, located
at the northern terminus of La Canada Drive on both sides of the extension of Pebble Creek Drive
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant requests approval of a Block Plat (Attachment 1) for the Maracay at Vistoso
subdivision. The submitted Block Plat accomplishes the following: 1) Re-aligns La Canada Drive; 2)
Divides the 130 acre parcel into one common area (recreation area) and five blocks for future residential
development. The proposed residential blocks will contain 342 lots and six individual communities with
private streets and pedestrian trails.
The conceptual site design of both the common area and lots were previously approved by Town
Council. This action does not impact the design of recreation areas or layout of home lots, etc. The Block
Plat meets all pertinent Town requirements.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
The Block Plat requires Town Council approval prior to being officially recorded by Pima County.
In September 2013, Town Council approved the Conceptual Site Plan for the proposed development.
The Block Plat does not affect the design components (i.e. site layout, access, pedestrian connectivity,
recreational areas, etc.) approved as part of the Conceptual Site Plan. The sole purpose of the plat is to
re-align La Canada Drive and divide the 130 acre parcel into one common area and five blocks ranging
from 4 to 35 acres in size.
FISCAL IMPACT:
N/A
SUGGESTED MOTION:
I MOVE to APPROVE the Block Plat for the Maracay at Vistoso subdivision, located in Rancho Vistoso,
Neighborhoods 10 and 11, finding that it meets Town requirements.
OR
I MOVE to DENY the Block Plat for the Maracay at Vistoso subdivision, located in Rancho Vistoso,

Information
SUBJECT:
Approval of the Oro Valley Cultural Heritage Preservation Plan
RECOMMENDATION:
The Historic Preservation Commission recommends approval of the revised Oro Valley Cultural Heritage
Preservation Plan.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) unanimously approved the revised "Oro Valley Cultural
Heritage Preservation Plan" at the April 7, 2014, meeting. This Plan will provide a guide for the HPC in
moving its work forward for developing and maintaining historic properties and programs.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
The Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) develops an annual plan at the beginning of each year.
This year, the HPC focused on its Code (Article 6-10), specifically its list of twenty-four Powers and
Duties that outlines its purpose and objectives (Attachment 1). The HPC directed its attention to the first
duty, “Maintain and periodically update, as needed, a plan for historic preservation.”
In 2011, the “Oro Valley Cultural Heritage Preservation Plan: Developing and Sustaining a Community
Sense of Place” was developed but ultimately never adopted. Consequently, the current HPC has
worked for several months reviewing, rewriting, and editing this document to its current form. This
revised Plan was unanimously approved at the HPC meeting on April 7, 2014.
There are six components in the Plan that include suggested action items and are as follows:
1. Public Participation and Heritage Education
2. Historic Steam Pump Ranch
3. Historic Neighborhoods
4. Town History Records and Reports
5. Undeveloped Areas of Town
6. Honey Bee Village Archaeological Preserve
Overall, this Plan provides a guide for the HPC in moving its work forward for developing and maintaining
historic properties and programs.

INTRODUCTION
Among the most important aspects of historic preservation today is ensuring that it is relevant
to a community and will attract visitors—to learn about special places of the past, and to
contribute to the overall economic sustainability of a community. Oro Valley holds unique
and authentic cultural resources that can make places of the past come alive. In collaboration
with partners, the Town can develop an exceptional cultural heritage program. This is a plan
for preserving the special historic places of Oro Valley, and for maintaining an awareness and
appreciation of its heritage within the community. This plan is a statement of the
community’s goals for its historic properties and programs, and provides guidance to reach
those goals.
This plan provides a guide for moving forward in developing and maintaining historic
properties and programs. Six components are identified, each of which contains suggested
action items. The components are: public participation and heritage education; Historic
Steam Pump Ranch; historic neighborhoods, Town history and records, undeveloped areas
of the Town, and Honey Bee Village Archaeological Preserve. This plan emphasizes the
importance of having preservation programs that are educational, operate at maximum
efficiency, and take advantage of diverse funding and volunteer opportunities.
A preservation plan is most effective when it is integrated with related local and regional
plans and policies. This plan is flexible in bringing together citizens, interest groups, and local
government to collaborate in preserving their shared heritage. The key to successful
implementation is having informed policy makers who integrate Oro Valley’s cultural
heritage in its social and economic development.
2
A GUIDE FOR IMPLEMENTATION:
ORO VALLEY CULTURAL HERITAGE PRESERVATION PLANNING
The context for implementing this cultural heritage program plan includes six major
components. It also incorporates the goals of the Arizona State Historic Preservation Plan
described in Appendix A. Residential neighborhood surveys and future preservation incentives
are included below because they apply directly to residents. As with all plans, this one should
be seen as a flexible document that can be updated as warranted based on
recommendations and involvement of the historic preservation commission, Town staff, Town
council, and citizens.
The six components are: public participation and heritage education; historic Steam Pump
Ranch; historic neighborhoods, Town history and records, undeveloped areas of the town,
and Honey Bee Village Archaeological Preserve. General responsibilities are identified below
as Town staff (includes the Parks & Recreation Department, Development and
Infrastructure Services, Communications Department, and the Town Manager’s staff),
Historic Preservation Commission (seven member volunteer advisory board), and volunteers
(individuals and organizations). These responsibilities may shift among staff and volunteers
depending upon a specific program or project and are intended here only to provide general
guidelines for implementation.
The Historic Preservation Commission should review this plan annually. Based on this
review, the Commission may make recommendations to Town staff and will coordinate this
plan with the annual Historic Preservation Commission work plan. Town staff can review the
plan and the commission’s recommendations and provide a summary to the Town Council.
Many of the following components can be implemented in phases within the overall context
of the Town’s cultural heritage program. Most are designed to require minimal expenditure of
funds and maximum potential for partnerships.
1. Public Participation and Heritage Education
Ongoing preservation education among a wide variety of audiences is essential to a successful
historic preservation program and can be integrated and implemented, in most cases, with limited
funds, into the Town’s existing programs and facilities. Literature describing the Town’s cultural
resources should be designed and distributed to inform Oro Valley residents of the Town’s
inventory and to encourage public participation in preservation. Public outreach should be
considered as well and could include a lecture series, classroom curricula, special events and
submission of stories in various publications. On site tours of Steam Pump Ranch, Honey Bee Village
Archaeological Preserve, the Cañada Del Oro trail and historic neighborhoods should be made
available to the public. A special collections section of the Town’s historic documents, records and
reports, made available at the Pima County Public Library – Oro Valley Branch could also be
considered.
3
The Historic Preservation Commission should work diligently to establish and foster relationships
with the Oro Valley Historical Society, consultants, educators and other historic preservation
organizations throughout southern Arizona to implement strategies to increase public participation
and heritage education.
2. Historic Steam Pump Ranch
The historic Steam Pump Ranch is an important part of the Town’s heritage. It is
recognized nationally through a listing on the National Register of Historic Places; it is
recognized locally in that Pima County voters approved expenditure in 2004 of $5 million for its
acquisition for historic preservation and public use. Successful development of the Ranch is
dependent on the citizens of Oro Valley becoming aware of and supporting the vital role the
site can play in the community with an emphasis on local involvement and public access.
The property provides an excellent locale for developing a “sense of place” for Oro Valley
and holds economic viability as an educational facility, special event venue and heritage park.
Partnerships will be a key element in maintenance of the property and providing public access.
Documents pertaining to preservation and maintenance of the property include the
Intergovernmental Agreement between Pima County and the Town of Oro Valley for
Implementation of the 2004 Bond Issue Project for the Steam Pump Ranch Acquisition
(2006), Steam Pump Ranch Master Plan (2007), and the Deed of Preservation Easement
between the Town of Oro Valley and Pima County (2008) (all in Appendix C).
Of primary concern in the future is the protection of the historic core (as noted in the Master
Plan) at the ranch. Town staff will coordinate with the Historic Preservation Commission to
ensure that the integrity of the historic core is preserved at all times in accordance with state
and national guidelines. Town staff should review the Steam Pump Ranch Master Plan
periodically to ensure that it reflects current planning and should annually review the progress
made on carrying out the recommendations in the Master Plan and report to the Town Council
and the Historic Preservation Commission. Town staff will annually review the progress being
made on carrying out the recommendations of the Master Plan and report to the Town Council
and Historic Preservation Commission.
3. Historic Neighborhoods
The Town of Oro Valley was incorporated in 1974. The first subdivision was platted in 1930.
Construction of residential neighborhoods generally did not occur until the late 1950’s.
Nineteen subdivisions were platted before 1974. (Actual development is not always associated
with the plat date). Subdivisions that have reached or will be reaching the 50 year old threshold
for consideration as historically significant are identified in Rock Art, Ranch and Residence.
Individual buildings with possible historical significance are also noted. The Oro Valley Historic
Preservation Ordinance (Article 6‐10) outlines the process for local landmarks and
neighborhood district designations.
4
A. The Historic Preservation Commission will concentrate some of its’ educational outreach on the
Town’s historic neighborhoods. These neighborhoods include, but are not limited to, Oro Valley
estates, Suffolk Hills, Campo Bello, and Shadow Mountain Estates.
B. The Historic Preservation Commission and Town staff will participate in outreach to highlight
historic districts, neighborhood and individual properties and explain the process/benefits of
designation. The Commission and Town, including the Planning and Zoning department, will
encourage Oro Valley residents to contact them regarding properties they may own or have
knowledge of that need to be preserved.
C. The Historic Preservation Commission (and other interested community members) will pursue
inventory of neighborhood historic districts/structures as identified in Rock Art, Ranch and Residence.
“Windshield surveys” could be a first step in identifying such districts/structures.
D. Town staff, the Historic Preservation Commission, volunteers and consultants (as appropriate)
should consider developing tours of historic neighborhoods/areas of the Town to focus attention on
community heritage. An example would be walking tours of James D. Kriegh Park, Canyon Del Oro
High School or Catalina Shadows development and their role in establishing the Town of Oro Valley.
E. The Town will consider financial incentives related to historic preservation, heritage tourism and
education as part of the annual budget process.
4. Town History Records and Reports
A Town’s archives contain primary source documents that have accumulated over the course of
time and are kept to show the function of the town. Archives are records that have been naturally
and necessarily generated as a product of regular legal, commercial, administrative or social
activities. Archives provide a basis for the proper understanding of the past that is important to
inform as the town develops. Archives are a special resource for dealing with the social memory of
the town.
Town Historian Marjorie Kriegh maintained records of the Town’s incorporation in 1974 through
1977. These records reflect the fight for annexation and Oro Valley’s ultimate success. The Oro
Valley Historic Preservation Commission encourages development and maintenance of a record
archive. All documented history is now being housed at Town facilities. A centralized archive for
cultural resources reports and maps acquired from individual development projects that are
currently scattered in specific project files should be created. Due to sensitive site information, this
archive may only be made available for public use only on a case‐by case basis. The Historic
Preservation Commission with the assistance of Town staff should prepare an annual report on
accomplishments for the prior year to be included in the archive. This report should also serve as
the required annual report to the Arizona State Historic Preservation Office to maintain certified
local government status. As part of the archive maintenance process, the Historic Preservation
Commission should update the Town’s inventory on a yearly basis.
5
The Environmentally Sensitive Lands Ordinance states that the Historic Preservation Commission
shall maintain a list of known significant cultural resources for consideration in planning of current
and future development. The Town was to develop this list, based on the Cultural Resources
Inventory, in 2012. The Historic Preservation Commission, as part of the centralized archive, must
ensure that the list was developed and is being maintained.
5. Undeveloped Areas of the Town
The Town’s Environmentally Sensitive Lands Ordinance applies to cultural resources in
undeveloped areas and to all developments that require a rezoning, preliminary plat,
development plan or amendment to these items. It provides for the conservation of significant
cultural resources in concert with other sensitive resources. Some areas available for
development contain known archaeological sites as identified in Rock Art, Ranch and Residence.
The ordinance provides a sound basis for identification, evaluation, and treatment of known
sites as well as ones that may be discovered in the future. Using the standard cultural review
process, Town of Oro Valley staff should review existing cultural resources data compiled in the
Phase 1 Cultural Resources Inventory report to provide a preliminary knowledge base when
future developments are proposed stipulations. The Town will review cultural resources
information obtained during the process of future site development within Town boundaries to
determine the potential for public interpretation and education. The Town will also consider the
value of prehistoric and historic resources in potential annexations. The Historic Preservation
Commission may review cultural resources reports and may provide information and
recommendations to Town staff.
6. Honey Bee Village Archaeological Preserve
The 13‐acre Honey Bee Village Archeological preserve was donated to Pima County in 2008
with the intent it be transferred to the Town when an agreement on management is reached.
At publication Pima County was the owner of this property. The Preserve is part of the 2004
Pima County Bond. The main area of this Hohokam site is to be preserved for public use. The
Tohono O’odham Nation and Oro Valley funded construction of a protective wall around the
Preserve. The area remains inaccessible and unused for walking, education and observation of
past cultural traditions.
A. In cooperation with Pima County, the Town will maintain a regular program of inspection of
the Preserve by Arizona Site Stewards.
B. The Historic Preservation Commission will monitor ongoing developments at Honey Bee
Village Archeological Preserve.
C. Future actions at the Preserve will include ongoing clean‐up of the site by the appropriate
responsible entities.
Linking tourism and preservation can do more for local economies and for tourism and
6
preservation than promote them separately. Heritage tourism saves and preserves your
heritage, share it with visitors and reap the economic benefits.
As noted in the introduction, Oro Valley holds unique and authentic cultural resources that
can make places of the past come alive. This Guide for Implementation sets the stage to
making Oro Valley’s history “come alive”.

APPENDIX A: THE LEGAL CONTEXT FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION
National Legislation, Guidance, and Support for Preservation Planning
The National Historic Preservation Act (Act) of 1966, as amended, is the basis of historic
preservation in the United States. The Act established the value of historic properties to
the public. Its major provisions apply at the local, state, tribal, and national levels and guide
historic preservation and cultural resources management today. The Act encouraged the
establishment of state historic preservation offices (SHPOs) in each state, and partnerships
among federal, tribal, state, and local governments. Today all 50 states have a state historic
preservation office that serves as the primary contact for local governments and through
which federal funding for state and local partnerships passes.
The Act established a Certified Local Government (CLG) program. The main purpose was
to provide a mechanism for local governments to carry out the purposes of the Act.
Certification is delegated to the SHPOs along with the responsibility for transferring federal
and state grant funds to local certified governments. The Town of Oro Valley (Town) was
granted CLG status by the Arizona SHPO and U.S. Department of Interior in May 2009. To
obtain, and retain, CLG status a local government must meet specific requirements including:
an ordinance to ensure that there is local legislation for the designation and protection of
historic properties; a qualified historic preservation commission; maintenance of a system
for the survey and inventory of historic properties in accordance with the Act; and
provisions for public participation in the local historic preservation program.
The Act established a consultation process (Section 106) whereby federal agencies, and
other entities using federal funds, must consult with SHPOs on the potential impacts to
historic properties and their significance before any federal undertaking. This process is
standard at all levels of government and is clearly articulated at the state and national levels.
It is described in various ways at the local level. In Oro Valley the process is acknowledged in
zoning codes and the recently passed Environmentally Sensitive Lands Ordinance.
The Act also created the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. As an independent
federal agency, the Advisory Council deals with federal properties or those impacted by
federally funded projects. It also carries out the Preserve America initiative whereby local
communities can apply for funds for historic sites listed on the National Register of Historic
Places.
Perhaps the best‐known provision of the Act was the establishment of the National
Register of Historic Places as the official list of the nation’s historic districts, sites, buildings,
structures, and objects significant in American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering,
and culture. The National Park Service administers National Register listings. In 2011, almost
87,000 properties are listed on the National Register. Nominations can be made by
individuals, organizations, local governments, state governments, or the federal government.
The criteria of significance for National Register nominations (specified in the Act) are the basis
8
for determining the importance of historic properties at all levels of government and
management.
The State of Arizona adopted the National Register criteria for evaluating cultural resources
in Arizona, and the Town includes consideration of these criteria in the General Plan, the
Historic Preservation Ordinance, and the Environmentally Sensitive Lands Ordinance.
The criteria of significance are: A. association with historic events or activities; B.
association with an important person in history; C. distinctive design or physical character;
and D. potential to provide important information about prehistory or history. Significant
properties must also possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship,
feeling, and association as defined in the Act, and generally be at least 50 years old.
Determinations of significance are made by archaeologists, historians, historic architects, or
other preservation professionals depending upon the nature of the property being evaluated.
Determinations of historic significance do not necessarily dictate future treatment of
cultural resources and they are distinct from the decision‐making processes for treatment at
the local, state, and national levels. Determining a course of action regarding historic
properties frequently involves consideration of treatments ranging from preservation in place
(preferred) to the mitigation of adverse impacts.
State of Arizona Preservation Planning
The Arizona SHPO prepared a comprehensive preservation plan for the state in 1996. The
Plan was updated in 2000 and again in 2009 with the involvement of agencies, special interest
groups, and citizens (Appendix C). Participants in the planning process identified, and have
validated in updates, four principal needs to further the cause of preservation in Arizona:
‐‐ A need to strengthen partnerships between government agencies, advocacy
groups, businesses, and the public.
‐‐ A need for Arizona’s citizens to become more aware of the value of our history
and opportunities for historic preservation.
‐‐ A need for appropriate information about Arizona’s historic resources to be
available to those making decisions about their future.
‐‐ A need for the public to continue to be engaged on questions regarding the
identification, nomination, and protection of historic resources.
The initial plan identified eight goals for historic preservation in Arizona that have been
confirmed in the updates. The goals are grouped into two general categories: those related
to the identification and management of cultural resources, and those related to
preservation professionals, interested members of the public, and elected and appointed
officials involved in historic preservation decision‐making. The plan identifies objectives for
each goal: (1) the preservation community; (2) the SHPO; and, (3) citizens at large. These are
9
not repeated here but are an excellent reference as they relate to the action plan developed in
Appendix B.
The Arizona state goals are:
Category 1, Toward Effective Management of Historic Resources
Goal 1: Better Resource Management
Vision: Having a partnership of public and private programs that work together to
identify, evaluate, nominate, and treat historic properties in an interdisciplinary and
professional manner; and to use historic properties to meet contemporary needs and/or
inform citizens with regard to history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and culture.
Goal 2: Effective Information Management
Vision: Having a cooperative data management system that efficiently compiles and
tracks information regarding historic properties, preservation methods and programs,
projects and opportunities; and provides the means to make this information readily available
to appropriate users.
Goal 3: Maximized Funding
Vision: Having preservation programs that operate at maximum efficiency and support
networks that take advantage of diverse funding and volunteer opportunities.
Goal 4: Integrated Preservation Planning
Vision: Having preservation principles and priorities fully integrated into broader planning
efforts of state and federal agencies, local governments, and private development to help
achieve the goals of historic preservation, including sustainable economic and community
development.
Category 2, Toward an Informed and Supportive Constituency
Goal 5: Proactive Partnerships
Vision: Having a strong preservation network of agency, tribal, county, community, and
advocate partners that communicate preservation values and share preservation programs
with the broader Arizona community, its institutions, and individuals.
Goal 6: Public Support
Vision: Having an educated and informed public that embraces Arizona’s unique history,
places, and cultures, and is motivated to help preserve the state’s historical patrimony.
Goal 7: Policy Maker Support
Vision: Having informed policy makers that appreciate the importance of historic properties to
the economic, social, historical, and cultural development of the state, counties, and
communities.
10
Goal 8: Informed Professionals
Vision: Having a full range of educational programs that are available to both established and
new preservation professionals to ensure that the highest standards of treatment and
identification are applied to the state’s historic properties.
Familiarity with these goals and the Arizona State Historic Preservation Plan Update 2009
is essential for Oro Valley in order to provide a broader framework for planning consistent
with state priorities.
Local Preservation Planning
It is hereby declared as a matter of public policy that the Town of Oro Valley joins
with the United States of America and the State of Arizona in promoting the
protection, enhancement, and perpetuation of properties, areas, documents,
and artifacts of historic, cultural, archaeological, and aesthetic significance as
being necessary for the economic, cultural, educational, and general welfare of
the public. This is done pursuant to the provisions of the National Historic
Preservation Act of 1966 as amended, the Arizona Revised Statutes, Section 9‐
462.01, and the establishment of this Historic Preservation Ordinance by the
Oro Valley Town Council. (Purpose. Historic Preservation Ordinance Article 6‐
10).
Oro Valley is a relatively young town, created in response to the city of Tucson plans to
annex much of northern Pima County along the Canada del Oro. At the time of its
incorporation in 1974 the Town encompassed 2.5 square miles and was home to about 800
residents. Today, the Town encompasses more than 36 square miles and has a population
of over 44,000. Ranching and homesteading traditions still exist in this modern dynamic
community that provides full public services.
The Town currently has guidance for cultural resources and preservation planning in the
Town’s General Plan Focus 2020 (2005), the Town of Oro Valley Historic Preservation
Ordinance, several zoning ordinances, and the Environmentally Sensitive Lands Ordinance.
These policies and direction are integrated into the preservation plan and are available in
Appendix C.
One of the most important elements in relation to preservation planning is the identification
of local community criteria to be applied in evaluations of cultural resources as well as use of
the National Register criteria. Cultural resources are significant locally “if the resource is
preserved in a condition of scientific integrity and the property or resources contribute to: a)
the unique identity of the community; or b) the enhancement of community economic,
educational, or recreational needs; or c) the understanding of the unique religious,
mythological, or social character of a discrete population within or outside the community”
(e(v)3(2)ii(a‐c)).
11
Current Oro Valley preservation planning is based on the report from the Oro Valley
Cultural Resources Inventory, Rock Art, Ranch, and Residence: Cultural Resources in the Town of
Oro Valley and Its Planning Area, approved by the Town Council in May 2010 (Appendix C). The
inventory consolidates available information on cultural resources, includes a review of archival
records, and provides substantial data about prehistoric sites, historic neighborhoods, and
general historic patterns of occupation and use in the area. A series of historic contexts are
defined for evaluating the significance of cultural resources in the Oro Valley area.
The Town endorses the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan (Town Council approval 2008) and has
participated in planning for the proposed Santa Cruz Valley National Heritage Area designation
currently being considered by Congress.
The Town lies within Pima County and coordinates as needed on historic preservation matters.
The County’s bond program has been instrumental in the Town’s acquisition of the historic Steam
Pump Ranch and in preserving a portion of the Honey Bee Village archaeological site in public
ownership. Restoration of historic ranching sites and preservation of irreplaceable at‐risk
archaeological sites are priorities for County efforts to preserve the heritage of Pima County and
southern Arizona.
Appendix B builds on the legal context for historic preservation by providing cultural
resources strategies for effective management and action items for the local community.
The underlying themes are an attempt to foster a community‐wide commitment to preserving
important places of our past, developing a comprehensive toolbox to engage and
educate residents, and highlighting opportunities for sustainable cultural resources
management.
12
APPENDIX B: STATUS OF ORO VALLEY CULTURAL RESOURCES
AND TOOLS FOR THEIR MANAGEMENT AS OF 2011
Rock Art, Ranch, and Residence: Cultural Resources in the Town of Oro Valley and Its
Planning Area is a useful summary of previous efforts to document cultural resources in the
Town and its planning area, but it also shows the substantial gaps in our knowledge of these
resources. As an important example, only about 35 percent of the Oro Valley Planning Area has
been systematically surveyed for archaeological sites, and much of that work took place
more than 10 years ago. Because the Arizona SHPO considers any archaeological survey
more than 10 years old to be inadequate for evaluating the current archaeological potential
of a location (and this is echoed in the Town’s Environmentally Sensitive Lands Ordinance),
the actual total survey coverage in the Oro Valley Planning Area should be considered
substantially less than 35 percent. Although many previously surveyed areas are now fully
developed for residential or commercial use, which means they are unlikely to require
archaeological survey in the future, a significant portion of the Town and its planning area
remain archaeologically unstudied.
Another obvious gap in our knowledge of Oro Valley’s cultural resources is the general lack
of information about potentially historic residential architecture in the Town. Although Oro
Valley did not incorporate until 1974, its land base has a significant amount of residential
architecture that is at least 50 years old and is therefore potentially historic. Rock Art, Ranch,
and Residence included preliminary examination of seven of the earliest residential
developments in the Town, four of which are considered potential candidates for
nomination to the National Register as residential historic districts. Field documentation of
these neighborhoods, along with more historical research, will be required to pursue
formal evaluations of historical significance and possible nomination, but it is clear from
the initial work that these (and soon other) early residential developments in Oro Valley are
potentially valuable parts of the community’s heritage.
Oro Valley can build on previous efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect cultural resources in
the Town by using five basic tools: (1) archaeological inventories; (2) residential neighborhood
surveys; (3) National Register nominations; (4) protection of historic properties; and (5)
preservation incentives. Each of these tools is discussed briefly below. Further discussion of the
ways these tools can be applied in Oro Valley is provided in Appendix B, along with a list of specific
preservation priorities in the Town.
Archaeological Inventories
To avoid unanticipated damage to archaeological resources, proposed ground‐disturbing
projects in Oro Valley should be preceded by an evaluation of the archaeological potential of
the affected parcel by an archaeologist who meets the Secretary of Interior standards. The
principal basis of an evaluation is an inventory of the archaeological sites either previously
recorded or newly recorded in a survey conducted for the proposed project. In some cases,
the inventory will be limited to a search of the records of previous archaeological surveys and
13
previously recorded archaeological sites, along with a consideration of previous disturbances to
the parcel. In other cases, the inventory will require a walking survey of the affected parcel.
Archival research may also be necessary to evaluate the possibility that historic‐period
archaeological features are present on the parcel.
Archaeological evaluation is necessary both for projects on previously undeveloped parcels and
for projects where the parcel has already seen development. In many cases, a previous
development project, such as the construction of a building or a set of buildings, will have
greatly reduced or eliminated the archaeological potential of a parcel, but even on parcels
where the original ground surface has been completely altered or obscured, intact
archaeological features may still exist below the level of construction impacts.
While the Town is often limited to evaluating the potential impacts of individual, relatively
small development projects on archaeological resources, a more cost‐effective way to
ensure that significant resources are not compromised is to carry out a systematic
archaeological inventory of a large area. Oro Valley and its planning area still hold substantial
areas of undeveloped land which are likely to become the focus of plans for large residential
or commercial developments. The development of such areas presents an opportunity both
to document an extensive area archaeologically and to incorporate a plan for the
protection and interpretation of significant cultural resources into the overall plan of
development.
In all cases, inventory and evaluation of archaeological and historic resources should
include consideration of the historic contexts identified for Oro Valley in Rock Art, Ranch, and
Residence. For prehistoric sites the contexts are cultural affiliation and interaction,
chronology, diet and subsistence, and community organization. For historic sites the contexts
include early transportation routes and the Canada del Oro crossing, cattle ranching and
homesteading in the Canada del Oro area (1869–1962), and early residential development in
the Cañada del Oro area (1945–1974).
Residential Neighborhood Surveys
The initial survey of residential architecture carried out for Rock Art, Ranch, and Residence
showed that four of the earliest subdivisions in the Town are potentially eligible for
nomination to the National Register as residential historic districts and should be
considered for historic district designation, consistent with the Town’s historic preservation
ordinance. They are: Oro Valley Estates, Suffolk Hills, Campo Bello, and Shadow Mountain
Estates. The report recommended that the Town consider nominating each of the four
subdivisions to the National Register, with the consent and cooperation of the residents.
Because of the preliminary nature of the inventory survey, it is not certain that the SHPO will
agree that any of the four subdivisions is appropriate for a National Register nomination. Before
deciding to pursue a nomination, which can be a significant expense, a determination of
eligibility should be made for a selected subdivision by the SHPO. Obtaining a determination
14
of eligibility involves contacting the SHPO, providing a minimal level of documentation about
the selected subdivision, and arranging for the SHPO staff to visit and tour the subdivision. If
the SHPO determines that the subdivision is eligible for listing on the National Register, a
nomination is warranted. Local designations may also be pursued at this time.
The number of subdivisions in Oro Valley that are potentially eligible for listing on the
National Register will only rise as other neighborhoods reach the minimum requirement for
district eligibility—when at least 50 percent of the houses are at least 50 years old.
Determining the National Register eligibility of a neighborhood beyond the simple age
requirement requires a survey by an architectural historian, or by non‐historians under the
direction of an architectural historian.

The survey for determining eligibility can consist of a “windshield” survey, or a preliminary pass to
establish the range of architectural styles and landscape features present in the neighborhood as
well as the general degree of integrity of both the architecture and the original subdivision plan.
National Register Nominations
There are a number of reasons for the Town to encourage the nomination of historic properties
to the National Register, whether the property is an archaeological site, a historic district, or an
individual building. First, when a historic property is listed on the National Register, it achieves a
special recognition as a place of importance in local, state, or national history, thus strengthening
the community’s awareness of, and pride in, its unique heritage. Second, properties on the
National Register are granted a degree of protection from impacts by federally funded or permitted
projects, because all such impacts are subject to review and comment by the Advisory Council
on Historic Preservation. Finally, there are significant tax incentives for the owners of properties
listed on the National Register.
It is important to emphasize that listing a property on the National Register does not prevent
the owner of the property from remodeling, repairing, altering, selling, or even demolishing the
property, provided that the action does not involve federal or state funding or permitting. Neither
is the owner obligated to make repairs or improvements to the property. It is equally important
to emphasize that listing on the National Register does not ensure that a federal or state project
will not adversely affect the listed property under every circumstance. It only ensures that any
project with a potentially adverse effect, and that receives federal or state funding or permitting,
will receive a federal‐ or state‐level review.
Currently, only one property in Oro Valley is listed on the National Register—Steam Pump Ranch,
a historic ranch complex established in the 1870s. Other properties have been determined eligible
for listing (e.g., the Honey Bee Village archaeological site), and others have been identified as
most likely eligible. As Rock Art, Ranch, and Residence made clear, this small number of listed
properties belies the number of important archaeological and historic sites previously recorded
in the Town and its planning area. Of the 185 previously recorded sites in the planning area,
six others have been determined eligible for listing and another 29 have been recommended
eligible for listing by their recorders. Many of the recorded sites have never been evaluated, and
some have probably been destroyed by development since they were recorded. But there is little
question that other sites in the Town and its planning area, both previously recorded sites and
sites yet to be discovered, are eligible for listing on the National Register.
In the Oro Valley Cultural Resources Inventory, four neighborhoods in the Town were recommended
for nomination to the National Register as residential historic districts, provided that the SHPO
gave a determination of eligibility to each neighborhood. Given a determination of eligibility,
the Town should approach the neighborhood association for the subdivision, or the residents
themselves, and recommend that a nomination be prepared. The nomination process, which
includes writing a detailed historic context for the subdivision and preparing SHPO historic building
inventory forms for all of the houses, could be funded directly by the Town, by contributions
from the neighborhood residents, or by a combination of these sources. When each resident
17
contributes a portion of the nomination cost, individual contributions are usually smaller when
the neighborhood is large, because much of the expense of a nomination is in the historic context,
which is generally the same for any size of neighborhood. In other words, the per‐house cost of a
nomination declines as the number of houses increases.
There are also individual buildings in Oro Valley worthy of nomination. Two architect‐designed
residences—the Countess of Suffolk Forest Lodge and the Joseph E. McAdams house—predate
planned developments in the Town and are important as individual architectural properties.
Both residences merit nomination to the National Register. This would require the consent and
cooperation of the separate private owners but would benefit the larger community by drawing
attention to the presence of important historic architecture in the Town. The Town can also make
an effort to identify and nominate other individual properties of distinction.
Protection of Historic Properties
Archaeological sites are the historic properties most vulnerable to unintentional damage through
development or natural processes, or through intentional damage by vandalism. It is fortunate
that Honey Bee Village, a major prehistoric site, is protected in public ownership and by physical
barriers to access, but other important prehistoric and historic sites exist in the Town that also
need protection. An important first step in protecting these sites would be to assess the potential
threats to each site and establish a priority list for taking protective measures that can be made
with the consent and cooperation of the property owners.
Historic architecture, especially if left unoccupied or unused for any length of time, is also subject
to damage through natural processes and vandalism. As with archaeological sites, the Town can
identify individual buildings that are or may soon be historic, assess the possible threats to the
historic integrity of the buildings, and establish a priority list for taking protective measures, again
with the consent and cooperation of the property owners.
Preservation Incentives
State and federal tax incentives are available for the owners of National Register–listed properties
that meet certain criteria. Full information about the state and federal programs behind these
incentives is available from the SHPO, but the main features are described in the following
paragraphs adapted from the SHPO website (http://azstateparks.com/SHPO/tax.html).
Investment Tax Credit (ITC) Program
The ITC program permits owners and some lessees of historic buildings to take a 20 percent
federal income tax credit on the cost of rehabilitating such buildings for industrial, commercial, or
rental purposes. This program also permits depreciation of such improvements over 27.5 years for
a rental residential property and 31.5 years for commercial property. The rehabilitated building
must be a certified historic structure that is subject to depreciation, and the rehabilitation must
be certified as meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation, established by
the National Park Service (NPS).
18
Only projects involving certified historic structures are eligible for tax credits. According to program
rules, a certified historic structure is: a structure individually listed in the National Register of
Historic Places, or; a structure certified by NPS as contributing to a registered district. A registered
district is a designated area listed in the National Register, or listed under a state or local statute
certified as substantially meeting the requirements for listing of districts in the National Register.
State Historic Property Tax Reclassification (SPT) for Owner‐Occupied Homes
The State Historic Property Tax (SPT) program offers a substantial reduction in the state property
tax assessment for eligible owners. This 15‐year agreement requires maintenance of the property
according to federal and Arizona State Parks Board standards and is limited to property used for
non‐income‐producing activities. In order to qualify for the SPT program, the property must be
listed on the National Register, either individually or as a contributor to a historic district. The
program is managed by the SHPO in conjunction with Arizona’s county assessor’s offices. The SHPO
determines program eligibility and monitors property maintenance, and the county assessor enacts
tax classification changes, manages issues of property value, and tax calculation. Properties must
meet the minimum maintenance standards established by the Arizona State Parks Board.
Achieving the goals of the Oro Valley historic preservation planning will require a sustained and
systematic effort on the part of the Town to identify and evaluate its known and yet to be recorded
cultural resources. The above items provide the broad parameters within which specific actions,
described in Appendix A, can be carried out.

Information
SUBJECT:
DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE DIRECTION REGARDING EXPANSION OF THE ECONOMIC
EXPANSION ZONE (EEZ) TO OTHER AREAS OF THE TOWN
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that Town Council discuss this item and provide direction to staff on the possible
expansion of the Economic Expansion Zone (EEZ).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In October 2012, Town Council adopted the Economic Expansion Zone (EEZ) to provide a streamlined
review process for development within Rancho Vistoso Neighborhood 3 (Innovation Park). The EEZ is
intended to promote the Town's economic development initiatives through a shortened review and
approval process for projects in Innovation Park. Mayor Hiremath and Councilmember Garner have
requested this agenda item for Town Council's discussion, as well as to provide direction to staff on the
possible expansion of the EEZ to other areas within Oro Valley.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
The Economic Expansion Zone (EEZ) provides a modified process whereby development review and
approvals are done administratively, following an enhanced open house and public participation process
to gain community input. This modified process was successfully used recently with the Securaplane
Technologies relocation to Innovation Park. Expansion of the EEZ to other areas of the Town may help
foster employment and other desired non-residential uses in other strategic locations throughout the
community.
In addition to expansion of EEZ, there are other methods and approaches to promote desired land uses
in economically strategic locations in Oro Valley. The District, which is still in formation stages, is
intended to establish a focal area along Oracle Road for the promotion of desired businesses, arts and
cultural venues. Use of an EEZ approach could be a component of such goals.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Promotion of employment and other revenue producing uses has a long-term positive impact on the fiscal
stability of the Town.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
This item is for discussion. Town Council may make a motion to direct staff such as:
I MOVE to direct staff to initiate the expansion of the Economic Expansion Zone (EEZ) to other areas of
the Town, specifically ____________________________.
