Applicant’s Request Applicant is requesting approval for the first phase. Where we are in the town; site is Located in Stone Canyon, which is north of Vistoso Highlands Dr. off of Tortolita Mtn. Circle Location Tortolita Mtn Circle Rancho Vistoso Blvd Vistoso Highlands Dr Hohokam Village Pl Location off of hohokam village place immediately south of the Stone Canyon Fitness center. Site is 13 acres. Proposed Deletion of Condition Provide sidewalks throughout the development. With that, staff finds that all applicable Zoning Code standards and rezoning conditions have been met and Recommend approval subject to 3 conditions in Att 1 (review conditions) Summary / Recommendation No other sidewalks exist in Stone Canyon Zoning Code does not require sidewalks Traffic volumes and speed limits are low Staff recommends approval of applicant’s request EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:On October 2, 2013, the Town Council conditionally approved the Conceptual Site Plan for Phase I of the Enclave at Stone Canyon residential subdivision, located north of Tortolita Mountain Circle and east of Hohokam Village Place (see Attachment 1).  The applicant now requests deletion of the Town Council-approved condition of approval requiring sidewalks throughout the subdivision (see Attachment 2, Planning Condition #1). The applicant's request is included as Attachment 3 and the Council approved Conceptual Site Plan is included as Attachment 4 BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:Applicant's Request According to the applicant, sidewalks are not necessary because the project which is within the Stone Canyon development, will have controlled, gated access and low traffic volumes. There are no sidewalks within Stone Canyon since the low traffic volumes and low posted speed limits allow for safe pedestrian circulation without the need for sidewalks. The applicant's request, including site and aerial photos of Stone Canyon, are included as Attachment 3. Staff Analysis The condition to require sidewalks within the subdivision was recommended to support pedestrian connectivity from homes to the Stone Canyon Swim and Fitness Center located to the north of the subdivision. However, the intended connectivity will not be achieved with the provision of pedestrian sidewalks since there are no existing or planned sidewalks along Hohokam Village Place, which accessed the Swim and Fitness Center. Based on these reasons, staff supports the request to delete the condition requiring sidewalks. N N Conceptual Site Plan This is the conceptual site plan. 36 units are proposed (Phase I) As mentioned, property is surrounded by golf course Two points of ingress/egress are provided: one at northern end of property from Hohokam Village Place; one at southern end of property off North Rock Haven Place Lot sizes range from 9,337 s.f. to 21,575 sf (avg 12,675).

The Conceptual Site Plan (Attachment 2) depicts 118 single-family lots, ranging in size between approximately 16,000 square feet (.37 acres) and  63,000 square feet (1.45 acres).

The subdivision will be gated and homes may be one or two story, with a maximum building height of 18 feet.   All riparian areas on the site will be preserved, with several wash crossings proposed to enable access and circulation. Disturbance will require mitigation consistent with RHOD requirements.   A number of rezoning conditions must be completed prior to grading for the project, including required improvements to Glover Road and multi-use paths along Glover Road and Naranja Drive. A 2.5-acre recreational area (Attachment 3) is proposed on the western side of the subdivision. The area provided exceeds the Zoning Code requirement of 1 acre per 85 units by 1.2 acres. The recreational area will contain the required active and passive recreational amenities, including: A recreational trail Seven (7) fitness stations located under covered shade structures Six (6) benches Two (2) picnic tables One (1) barbecue One (1) 24’x24’ ramada  The recreational area will be landscaped consistent with Town requirements.   To improve recreational opportunity, connectivity and access to the recreation area from all lots, conditions have been added to Attachment 1 to include a natural surface trail along the full length of the main riparian corridor and an access easement to the recreation area between two of the lots.
