General Plan Amendment
Town Council
December 6, 2017

Good evening…
Purpose
Type 1 General Plan Amendment
Planning boundary
Master Planned Community
Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation
Town Council action
Our purpose here tonight is to consider 2 requests related to the Tangerine – north property…a property OWNED BY THE STATE OF ARIZONA
Planning Boundary
MPC
Two additional key points for tonight
These apps are purely about amending the GP, does not connotate annexation or rezoning…
This will be developed in the future, because the property is located at one of the primary entrances to the Town, we have a vested interest in making sure it is developed appropriately.
These applications before you tonight will allow the Town to be part of any future conversations regarding development of the property.
PZC recommend approval, subject to…
- focused on:
- need to a foundation for how the Town would like to see for the property be developed
- app’s are focused on amending the GP

Subject
Parcel
Planning Area
1st request = extension of the GP Planning boundary
- what is the planning boundary?
- identifies areas that have an impact on the Town and where we have a vested interest in how development occurs…TYPICAL TO INCLUDE PROPERTIES INSIDE/OUTSIDE THE TOWN LIMITS
- Whether in the Town or not, these are areas where the Town wants to be part of the discussion regarding future development
2nd request = MPC to the property
- holding designation which accommodates a range of uses to fit a specific property – focus of future rezoning…detailed planning will need to be done in the future to customize zoning
for the property
Neither of the 2 proposed changes will result in a change in ownership…STATE OF ARIZONA
24
Special Area Policies
Master Planning
Work with neighbors on compatible development
Lot size transitions
Buffers and landscaping
Building heights
Environmentally Sensitive Lands mapping
Infrastructure
MPC requires Special Area Policies which will inform more detailed future discussions regarding customized zoning for the property, which have been included in your packet.
I want to make clear, these are not restrictions on the property, but rather the Town’s “ASK” as base considerations we’d like to see
These policies:
- developed with consideration of the key planning concerns for the property and thru feedback received at the neighborhood meetings.
will help ensure the property is “well planned” regardless of jurisdiction.
Master Planning w/Tangerine South
Working with neighbors to minimize impacts and ensure development fits within the context of the area; tools to do that include:
ESL mapping in the future
Ensure infrastructure is developed in conformance with our Streets and Drainage criteria
25
Existing Development Rights
Pima County
General Plan
Low Intensity Urban 0.3
91 homes
Marana
General Plan
Low Density Residential
151 – 604 homes
Potential commercial
Pima County LIU 0.3. = up to 91 homes
PC HAS MAPPED ENV. RESOURCES WHICH WILL SERVE AS A DRIVER TO SHAPE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
Marana LDR = 151 – 604 homes + potential neighborhood commercial
- included the property in their planning area to ensure they had a seat at the table regarding any future development
In the end, the ASLD will choose who to develop with.

Has a mission that includes “ensuring the highest & best use of the property” for sale at auction to help fund the State Department of Education. Which again means the property will
be developed at some point in the future.
The subject property was part of the original section (640 acres) at the NE corner
Previously approximately 316 acres were annexed by TofM which is now, Fry’s & Tangerine Crossing
Subject property = the remainder
