Meeting Date:04/04/2018
Requested by: Bayer Vella
Submitted By:Milini Simms, Community Development & Public Works
Department:Community Development & Public Works
Information
SUBJECT:
Request for approval of a Final Plat Amendment to revise the no-build area on Lot 402 in
Stone Canyon Neighborhood IIA, located at 1269 N. Tortolita Mountain Circle
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The purpose of this request is to consider a Final Plat Amendment to revise the
no-build area on Lot 402 in Stone Canyon Neighborhood IIA, located at 1269 N. Tortolita
Mountain Circle (Attachment 1). Per the Rancho Vistoso Planned Area Development,
encroachment into no-build areas may be approved, without a land area trade, when the
encroachment does not contain any protected environmental resources.
Historically, no-build areas were platted in Stone Canyon to protect environmental
resources, such as rock outcrops and steep slopes. However, many of these areas were
delineated using aerials with the understanding refinement in the field may occur on
occasion. The proposed Final Plat Amendment (Attachment 2) is to revise the no-build
area to gain approximately 1,674 square feet of buildable space.
Staff met with the applicant onsite and confirmed the proposed areas of encroachment
do not contain any protected environmental resources (see Attachment 3). As such, staff
recommends approvals finding the request is in compliance with the Rancho Vistoso
Planned Area Development.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
Final Plat Amendments not considered minor as defined by the Zoning Code, require
Town Council approval prior to being officially recorded with Pima County.
In 2006, the Final Plat for Stone Canyon Neighborhood IIA was approved and features
several lots with no-build areas, which were established to protect environmental
resources such as steep slopes and rock outcrops common in the area. Many of these
areas were delineated using aerials with the understanding refinement in the field may
occur on occasion.
Per the Rancho Vistoso Planned Area Development, encroachment into no-build areas
may be approved, without a land area trade, when the encroachment does not
contain any of the aforementioned protected environmental resources.
Staff met with the applicant onsite and confirmed the proposed areas of encroachment
do not contain any protected environmental resources (see Attachment 3). As such, staff
recommends approvals, finding the request is in compliance with the Rancho Vistoso
Planned Area Development.
FISCAL IMPACT:
N/A
SUGGESTED MOTION:
I MOVE to approve the Final Plat Amendment to revise the no-build area on Lot 402 in
Stone Canyon Neighborhood IIA, finding it is in conformance with the Zoning Code.

SUBJECT:
Resolution No. (R)18-13, approving the dedication of Big Wash Trailhead, including
vehicular and trail access, and Trail No. 180, located north of Tangerine Road and within
the Rancho Vistoso Boulevard loop
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The purpose of this request is to consider the proposed dedication (Attachment 1) of Big
Wash Trailhead, including vehicular and trail access, and Trail No. 180 located north of
Tangerine Road and within the Rancho Vistoso Boulevard loop (Attachment 2). The
existing recreational staging area (Big Wash Trailhead) is located on private property
and currently has a temporary easement for public use.
The section of Trail No. 180 being dedicated is only the portion located south of Rancho
Vistoso Boulevard, not the private section located north of Rancho Vistoso Boulevard.
This section has an existing WAPA easement, which must continue to be maintained.
Dedication of both items will provide permanent connections to the larger trail network.
As such, they were included as conditions of approval when the property was rezoned in
December 2017. The conditions required dedication be completed within 120 days of
the rezoning approval (approved on 12/6/2017).
There are some final steps to be completed prior to the Town's acceptance of a clean
title report and conveyance of the trailhead.
As such and included in Attachment 1, is the authorization for the Town Manager
or designees to take these necessary administrative steps to accept the dedication and
execute the terms of the associated deed and easement.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
Prior Approvals
1987- Property included in the Rancho Vistoso Planned Area Development and
annexed into Oro Valley.
2009- Major General Plan Amendment approved for this specific area.
2017- Type 1 (major) General Plan Amendment and Rezoning approved for this
Big Wash area, reconfiguring the uses.
Both Big Wash Trailhead and Trail No.180 are located north of Tangerine Road, within
the Rancho Vistoso Boulevard Loop. Specifically, Trail No.180 is located along the
WAPA power line (Attachment 2) and will be available for use as a permanent,
non-motorized public access to the larger trail network. The section being dedicated is
only the portion located south of Rancho Vistoso Boulevard, not the private section
located north of Rancho Vistoso Boulevard. This section has an existing WAPA
easement, which must continue to be maintained.
The trailhead is located on the east side of the Rancho Vistoso Blvd. loop and directly
south of the proposed eastern access (Attachment 3). This recreational staging area is
intended to provide bicyclists, equestrians and pedestrians with safe access to the
existing trails located north of the trailhead. The following improvements were also
included with the conditions of approval for the rezoning and are to be completed by the
future developer through the use of recreation impact fees:
Improved drainage and parking infrastructure
Amenities such as a drinking fountain, bicycle parking, restroom, seating area and
an informational kiosk
Informational signage
Connections to the Big Wash Trail
Both the trailhead and trail are part of a larger, regional trail network as evidenced by
several other trails traversing the property (Attachment 2). Legal access for public use of
those trails will be granted through easements during the platting process.
DISCUSSION
The property owner, VP II Loan LLC, is dedicating the Big Wash Trailhead and Trail No.
180 to the Town. As a recreational staging area and prominent trail connecting to the
larger trail network, the Town's Parks and Recreation Department is best suited to
continue ongoing maintenance and upkeep of the area. The dedication requires:
Use of the property to support and enhance the larger, regional trail network
Partnership between the Town and future developer for improvements to the
trailhead
Continued maintenance of the trailhead and trail
No transferring of the property without prior approval of the donor
Per the rezoning conditions of approval, dedication is to be completed within 120 days of
the rezoning approval (approved on 12/6/2017). However, there are some final steps to
be completed prior to the Town's acceptance of a clean title and conveyance of the
trailhead.
As such and included in Attachment 1, is the authorization for the Town Manager and
other administrative offices, or their designees to take these necessary steps to accept
the dedication and execute the terms of the associated deed and easement.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Improvements to Big Wash Trailhead (Attachment 3) will be funded using
recreation impact fees from the future developer of the property and must be completed
in accordance with the timeline established in the rezoning conditions of approval (for
informational purposes only, see Attachment 4).
SUGGESTED MOTION:
I MOVE to APPROVE Resolution No. (R)18-13, accepting the dedication of the Big
Wash Trailhead, including vehicular and trail access, and Trail No. 180 to the Town.
OR
I MOVE to DENY Resolution No. (R)18-13, approving the dedication of the Big Wash
Trailhead, including vehicular and trail access, and Trail No. 180 based on the finding

Department:Community Development & Public Works
Information
SUBJECT:
Resolution No. (R)18-14, amending the infrastructure improvement plans supporting
development impact fees for Transportation, Parks and Water Utility
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The purpose of this resolution is to amend the Infrastructure Improvement Plan (IIP)
supporting development impact fees for the categories of Transportation, Parks and the
Water Utility. The reason for the amendment (attachment 1) is that conditions within the
community have changed since original adoption of the IIP and the project list needs to
be revised.
These changes do not impact the current level of service, nor does it affect the current
fee structure.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
Impact fees are a way for local governments to require new developments to pay a
proportionate share of the infrastructure costs their projects impose on community
service levels. As such, new development pays for its pro-rata share of the cost of new
capital facilities to maintain said service levels. These fees are one-time, up-front
charges that are assessed on new development.
State law governing impact fees stipulates that impact fees may only be collected to pay
for improvements identified in an adopted Infrastructure Improvement Plan (IIP). So by
implication, impact fees can only be spent on improvements listed in the IIP. State law
also provides that change may be required and/or allowed during the life of an adopted
IIP. This allows the capital plan to change in response to unforeseen development at the
time of first adoption, without triggering the need for a complete and comprehensive
impact fee update.
The history of the Town's current Impact Fee Schedule and adopted IIP is as follows:

Department:Community Development & Public Works
Information
SUBJECT:
Resolution No. (R)18-15, authorizing and approving a second supplemental
Intergovernmental Agreement between the Town of Oro Valley and the Town of Marana
to accommodate the construction of a portion of Shannon Road as part of the design and
construction of roadway improvements to Tangerine Road from Dove Mountain
Boulevard/Twin Peaks to La Cañada Drive
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On July 3, 2013, the Town of Oro Valley adopted Resolution No. (R)13-46, approving
and authorizing an IGA between Oro Valley, Town of Marana and Pima County for the
design and construction of improvements to Tangerine Road from Twin Peaks Road to
La Cañada Drive. Then on July 1, 2015, the Town of Oro Valley adopted Resolution No.
(R)15-51, approving and authorizing a supplemental IGA between Oro Valley and the
Town of Marana to incorporate the design and construction of a reclaimed water main
and potable water mains for the Oro Valley’s Water Utility Department. The proposed
second supplemental IGA is to pay for improvements to a section of Shannon Road.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
The Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) was authorized to design and construct
improvements to Tangerine Road from Twin Peaks/Dove Mountain to La Cañada Dr.
The Town of Marana has been identified by the RTA as the lead agency for the project.
The Town of Marana, Town of Oro Valley and Pima County entered into an IGA
to coordinate and facilitate the design and construction of the project. On July 3, 2013,
the Mayor and Council approved this IGA by Resolution No. (R)13-46.
On April 16, 2014, an amendment was approved via Resolution No. (R)14-20 to clarify
the means for selecting a contractor. A supplemental IGA was then approved by Oro
Valley and Marana for the design and construction of Oro Valley’s reclaimed and potable
water mains. The Mayor and Council approved the supplemental IGA by Resolution No.
(R)15–51.
(R)15–51.
The proposed second supplemental IGA is necessary to pay for improvements to a
portion of Shannon Road. Improvements to Shannon Road (plans attached) are required
as part of St. Mark’s Catholic Church offsite improvements and is stipulated in the Town
of Oro Valley Ordinance No. (O)11-12, which requires improvements for Shannon Road
adjacent to the St. Mark’s property. This section of Shannon Road intersects Tangerine
Road which is currently under construction with the contractor, Tangerine Corridor
Constructors (TCC). The Town of Oro Valley, St. Mark and TCC have coordinated to
complete the required Shannon Road Improvements concurrently with the Tangerine
Road project.
Town staff has received both approved Roadway Improvement Plans and funds from St.
Mark's to complete the required improvements on Shannon Road. St. Mark's has
secured funding in their budget via the September 20, 2017 Board of Directors Meeting.
TCC has reviewed the plans and provided a Guaranteed Maximum Pricing (GMP 21
attached) of $144,128 for construction of which $10,200 is for increasing the asphalt
thickness at the request of Town staff. On November 13, 2017, St. Mark provided funds
via check #16132 in the amount of $133,928 (attached) for their portion of Shannon
Road, and the Town will pay $10,200 from regional funds.
The Town of Oro Valley and the Town of Marana have agreed to have TCC perform the
improvements on Shannon Road per the contract, but requires a second supplemental
IGA to memorialize the change order at the agreed GMP. The work is located fully within
the Town’s right-of-way, and Town staff will inspect the construction for compliance with
the plan, specifications and applicable standards.
The Town of Marana is expected to approve this second supplemental IGA at their
council meeting on April 3, 2018.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There will be no fiscal impact to the Town. St. Mark's has provided $133,928 funds to
cover the construction costs, and $10,200 will come from regional funds.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
I MOVE to (approve or deny) Resolution No. (R)18-15, authorizing and approving a
second supplemental Intergovernmental Agreement between the Town of Oro Valley
and the Town of Marana to accommodate the construction of a portion of Shannon Road
as part of the design and construction of roadway improvements to Tangerine Road from
Dove Mountain Boulevard/Twin Peaks to La Cañada Drive.

SUBJECT:
PUBLIC HEARING: LOCAL ALTERNATIVE EXPENDITURE LIMITATION ELECTION
(HOME RULE OPTION)
RECOMMENDATION:
There is no formal action required at this public hearing.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Every four years, the Town is required to request voter approval for the extension of the
Town's alternative expenditure limitation or "Home Rule Option." This measure was last
approved by the voters in 2014, and will be placed on the upcoming August 28, 2018
Primary election ballot for re-approval. With the Home Rule Option, the Town of Oro
Valley is authorized to set its annual budget limits locally, based on available revenues,
rather than having to fall under an old formula-based, state-imposed expenditure
limitation.
Provisions of the Arizona State Constitution and Arizona Revised Statutes impose an
annual expenditure limitation, or spending cap, on Arizona cities and towns, including
the Town of Oro Valley. The state-imposed expenditure limitation is a formula that uses
actual payments of local revenues for FY 1979-80 as the spending base limit and adjusts
the limit annually based on population growth and inflation. Article IX of the Arizona
Constitution allows a city or town to adopt a local alternative expenditure limitation, or
Home Rule Option, with the approval of a majority of the qualified voters of the
community. The Home Rule Option allows a community to determine locally what its
annual spending limits will be, rather than following the formula-based limit imposed by
the State of Arizona.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
The Town of Oro Valley has successfully received voter approval of the local alternative
The Town of Oro Valley has successfully received voter approval of the local alternative
expenditure limitation election (Home Rule Option) since state-enactment of the annual
expenditure limitation in June 1980. The option must be submitted to the voters every
four years if the community wishes to continue with Home Rule. Voter approval was
obtained in 1982, 1986, 1990, 1994, 2002, 2006, 2010 and 2014.
Historically, the state-imposed expenditure limitation formula has yielded a spending
limitation, or cap, that is significantly lower than the amount of revenues the Town
receives on an annual basis. The Town of Oro Valley's revenues and other financing
sources for fiscal years 2019-20 through 2022-23, along with the state-imposed
expenditure limitation, have been estimated and are summarized below:
Fiscal
Year
Estimated
Revenues
Expenditure
Limitation Difference
2019-2020 $132,670,853 $40,059,042 $92,611,811
2020-2021 $122,275,100 $41,466,756 $80,808,344
2021-2022 $120,881,163 $42,689,609 $78,191,554
2022-2023 $124,450,003 $44,670,451 $79,779,552
Without voter approval of the Home Rule Option on August 28, 2018, the Town would be
limited to spending the state-imposed amounts, even though revenues and other
financing sources are estimated to exceed the limits by the differences indicated in the
last column of the table. The Town would have to drastically cut services if the Home
Rule Option fails to receive voter approval. Meanwhile, the Town's existing revenues
would continue to be collected from its various sources and would not be able to be
spent on the delivery of services to the community. If the Home Rule Option is not
approved at the August 2018 election, no new expenditure limitation election may be
held for at least two years.
Tonight is the first public hearing on the proposed Home Rule Option and no formal
action is required by Council at this evening's meeting. The second public hearing is
scheduled for April 18, 2018, and at that meeting, the Town Council will be asked to act
on a resolution that would allow for the Home Rule Option to be referred to the voters of
the Town of Oro Valley at the August 28, 2018 Primary election. An affirmative vote of
two-thirds (2/3) of the Town Council (5 votes) must be received to place the question on
the ballot.
The documents attached to this communication are required to be completed, reviewed
and approved by the Auditor General's office in preparation for the Home Rule Option
election. A publicity pamphlet must also be prepared for the Home Rule Option election
which will need to be reviewed and approved by the Auditor General's office as well. The
contents of the pamphlet are specified in state law and include the
Summary Analysis attached hereto.
Starting in June, staff plans to conduct a public outreach campaign to educate the
community regarding this ballot question as has been done for past Home Rule Option
elections. This campaign is expected to include presentations at community
elections. This campaign is expected to include presentations at community
meetings, placing information on the Town's website and through established social
media outlets, outreach to homeowner's associations, and distribution of print materials,
among other efforts.

SUMMARY ANALYSIS
The voters of the Town of Oro Valley in 1982, 1986, 1990, 1994, 1998, 2002, 2006, 2010 and 2014
adopted an alternative expenditure limitation (Home Rule Option). The purpose of this election is for the
continued use of the Home Rule Option.
Pursuant to the Arizona State Constitution, the Town of Oro Valley seeks voter approval to adopt a Home
Rule Option to apply to the town for the next four years beginning in 2019-2020. Under a Home Rule
Option if approved by the voters, the town estimates it will be allowed to expend approximately
$132,670,853 in 2019-2020, $122,275,100 in 2020-2021, $120,881,163 in 2021-2022 and $124,450,003
in 2022-2023.
With approval of the Home Rule Option, the town will utilize the expenditure authority for all local
budgetary purposes including Public Safety, Streets and Roads Maintenance, Development Services,
Transit Services, Parks and Recreation, Tourism and Economic Development, Water Utility, Magistrate
Court, Stormwater Utility, Administration, Capital Improvement Projects, Municipal Debt Service and
Contingency Reserves.
Under the state-imposed limitation, the town estimates it will be allowed to expend approximately
$40,059,042 in 2019-2020, $41,466,756 in 2020-2021, $42,689,609 in 2021-2022 and $44,670,451 in
2022-2023 for the operation of your local government. These expenditures include expenditures of
constitutionally excludable revenues.
The amount of revenue estimated to be available to fund the operation of your town government is
$132,670,853 in 2019-2020, $122,275,100 in 2020-2021, $120,881,163 in 2021-2022 and $124,450,003
in 2022-2023. These revenue estimates are the same under the Home Rule Option or the state-imposed
expenditure limitation. The Town of Oro Valley has no local property tax.
Any and all dollar figures presented in this summary are estimates only and are based upon information
available at the time of preparation of this analysis. The budget and actual expenditures in any of the four
years may be more or less than the expenditures noted above depending on available revenue.
If no alternative expenditure limitation is approved, the state-imposed expenditure limitation will apply to
the town.

DETAILED ANALYSIS
Pursuant to the Arizona State Constitution, the Town of Oro Valley as authorized by Resolution No.
(R)18-___, passed on April 18, 2018 will seek voter approval to adopt an alternative expenditure limitation
(Home Rule Option) to apply to the Town for the next four years beginning in 2019-2020.
Under a Home Rule Option if approved by the voters, the town estimates it will be allowed to expend
approximately $132,670,853 in 2019-2020, $122,275,100 in 2020-2021, $120,881,163 in 2021-2022 and

budgetary purposes including Public Safety, Streets and Roads Maintenance, Development Services,
Transit Services, Parks and Recreation, Tourism and Economic Development, Water Utility, Magistrate
Court, Stormwater Utility, Administration, Capital Improvement Projects, Municipal Debt Service and
Contingency Reserves. We estimate that the expenditures for the next four years under the Home Rule
Option will be as follows:

If approved, the expenditures authorized will be funded from revenues obtained from federal, state and
local sources. It is estimated that the amount of revenue from each source for the next four years will be
as follows:
ESTIMATED AMOUNTS OF REVENUE FROM EACH AND ANY SOURCE
Source 2019-2020 2020-2021 2021-2022 2022-2023

Total Revenues $ 132,670,853 $ 122,275,100 $ 120,881,163 $ 124,450,003
The Town of Oro Valley has no local property tax.
In determining the revenue sources to fund the authorized additional expenditures under the alternative
expenditure limitation, it is assumed that the federal, state and local revenues received by the town will
continue to be available in 2019-2020 as they have for the past four years. Their continued availability is
also assumed for the next three consecutive years following 2019-2020.
Any and all dollar figures in this analysis are estimated figures only and are based upon information
available at the time of preparation of this report. The budget and actual expenditures in any given year
may be more or less than the figures noted above depending on available revenues. The actual
expenditure limitation for each fiscal year shall be adopted as an integral part of the budget for that fiscal
year.

SUBJECT:
DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING A CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN,
LANDSCAPE PLAN AND RECREATION AREA PLAN FOR SAGUAROS VIEJOS
PHASE 1, A 44-LOT SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION, LOCATED WEST
OF LA CHOLLA BOULEVARD AND NORTH OF NARANJA ROAD
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval, subject to the conditions
in Attachment 1.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant's proposal is for the development of a 44-lot single-family residential
subdivision on an approximately 56-acre property, located west of La Cholla
Boulevard and north of Naranja Drive (Attachment 2). The proposed subdivision
design was previously approved twice. The last approval expired in 2016 due to lack of
activity (per code requirement), which is why the applicant is requesting another
approval of the same design.
The request includes a Conceptual Site Plan, Landscape Plan and Recreation Area
Plan. Key elements of the proposal are:
Approximately 16 acres (29%) of preserved riparian areas (environmentally
sensitive open space)
Approximately 879 (84%) saguaros will either be transplanted or preserved in place,
which includes 27 Saguaros deemed significant (as defined by the Zoning Code)
Gated community with two points of vehicular access: One from Glover Road and
the other from Naranja Drive
Average lot size of 30,087 sq. ft.
Maximum building height of 18' for either 1 or 2 stories with one-story restrictions on
lots 1, 9, 17
The Conceptual Site Plan, Landscape Plan and Recreation Area Plan conform to the
Design Principles and applicable Design Standards of the Zoning Code. As such, the
Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the applicant's request,
subject to the conditions in Attachment 1.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
Land Use Context
The subject property is designated Low Density Residential in the General Plan and is
zoned R1-20. The existing land use and zoning designations for the property and
surrounding areas are provided in Attachment 3.
Existing Site Conditions
56 acres, property is vacant
Characterized by riparian corridors running north to south, along the perimeter of
the property and approximately 1047 Saguaros
Proposed Improvements:
44 single-family detached residential lots
Approximately 16 acres (29%) of preserved riparian areas
Approximately 879 (84%) Saguaros will either be transplanted or preserved in
place, which includes 27 Saguaros deemed significant (as defined by the Zoning
Code)
One recreation area provided totaling approximately 2.2 acres
Two points of ingress/egress improvements to Glover Road, including a shared-use
path along the south side
Approvals to Date
2007 - Rezoning from R1-144 to R1-20 approved for both phases of the project.
2014 - Conceptual Site Plan approved for both phases of the project; expired in
2016.
Conformance with previous approvals: Since the approved rezoning and Conceptual
Site Plan, the project was split into two phases. The applicant's request for the first
phase conforms to the previously-approved rezoning and accompanying Tentative
Development Plan.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Conceptual Site Plan
The Conceptual Site Plan (Attachment 4) is for 44 single-family residential lots on
approximately 56 acres. The overall design of the subdivision is consistent with the
previously-approved Tentative Development Plan. Conceptual Site Plans are reviewed
for their conformance to the Design Guidelines and applicable Design Standards in the
Zoning Code. A detailed analysis of which is provided in Attachment 5. Notable elements
of the subdivision include:
The design provides an effective transition between large lot residential to the west
and proposed small lot residential to the east through the placement of larger lots
and natural buffers along the western and eastern perimeters, preserving riparian
areas.
Use of detention basins to assure post-development drainage conditions are
consistent with pre-developed conditions and all habitable structures adjacent to the
washes are protected from flooding and erosion.
The proposed development will have two gated access points from Glover Road
and Naranja Drive. The access points help distribute traffic around the site, reducing
the impact to surrounding streets.
Glover Road: Off-site improvements to mitigate increased traffic include
right-of-way dedication and the widening/extension of Glover Road along the
project frontage by the developer, which are shown on the plan.
Naranja Drive: In 2015, the Town widened the road which created a painted
center median that doubles as a continuous left-turn lane for westbound
vehicles entering Ironwood Ridge High School (south of the subject property).
These improvements met the intended results and as a result, traffic along
Naranja Drive is relatively free flowing and a good level of service for motorists.
An important component of the subdivision design is the identification of significant
Saguaros. Both staff and the applicant worked extensively to research and identify
healthy Saguaros that would not survive transplant. As such, a condition of approval
to preserve eight (8) Saguaros, which are at least 24 feet in height with at least two (2)
arms, in place by adjusting the lot lines and layout, is included in Attachment 1. These
cacti are generally located near the proposed lot lines (for specifics, see Attachment 6)
and therefore the adjustments will not substantially change the conceptual site plan.
Conceptual Landscape Plan
The Conceptual Landscape Plan (Attachment 7) is in conformance with the applicable
Zoning Code requirements. The Conceptual Landscape Plan includes landscaped
entries and common areas. The landscape plan also preserves the riparian corridors,
running north to south through the property, along the perimeter of the property.
Conceptual Recreation Area Plan
A 2.2- acre recreation area (Attachment 8) is proposed in the southeastern portion of the
subdivision adjacent to natural preserved open space. The area provided exceeds the
Zoning Code requirement of 1 acre pre 85 units by 1.7 acres. The proposed recreation
area contains both active and passive amenities, including:
A recreation trail
Three (3) fitness stations
Six (6) picnic benches
Two (2) picnic tables
One (1) barbeque
One (1) 24' x 24' ramada
Three (2) shade structures
One (1) pet station
The recreation area is accessible to all residents and provides both vehicular and bicycle
parking areas.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
The applicant's request was heard by the Planning and Zoning Commission on March 6,
2017 (for meeting minutes, see Attachment 9). The main topics discussed were the
request's conformance to previously approved plans and preservation of Saguaros
onsite. The following information clarifies these points:
The layout presented is the exact same as the previous approval in 2014,
which per code expired after two years of inactivity.
In addition to preserving the eight (8) cacti in place (Attachment 5), the applicant
will also comply with code requirements for salvage and mitigation of all other
healthy cacti onsite, regardless of size.
At the conclusion of the meeting, the Commission recommended approval of the
request, subject to the conditions in Attachment 1.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
Several neighborhood meetings were held during the rezoning process for this property.
However, since that was nine years ago, an additional neighborhood meeting was held
in March 2017, in conjunction with the second phase of this project. Since there were not
any outstanding concerns from residents regarding this first phase, no additional
neighborhood meetings were required.
Summary of Public Notice:
Public notice has been provided:
Homeowners Association mailing
Post at Town Hall and on website
Postcard to all property owners within 600 feet
CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDATION
In summary, the request is in conformance with the Design Principles and applicable
Design Standards of the Zoning Code and General Plan. Additionally, the proposed
plans conform to the previously approved rezoning and accompanying Tentative
Development Plan. As such, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended
approval, subject to the conditions in Attachment 1.

Conceptual Site Design Principles, Section 22.9.D.5.a
The Conceptual Site Plan, subject to the conditions in Attachment 1, is in conformance with
applicable Conceptual Site Design Principles. Following are applicable Design Principles (in
italics), followed by staff analysis.
Building orientation: the location, orientation and size of structures shall promote a
complementary relationship of structures to one another.
Staff Commentary: The subject property is situated between schools to the north and south,
large-lot residential to the west and a pending rezoning to smaller-residential lots to the east.
As such, the subdivision places larger lots along the western perimeter and 25’ buffers along
the northern and southern perimeters. The homes will incorporate standard entry and side
entry garages that will provide for a varied streetscape.
Drainage/grading: site grading shall minimize impacts on natural grade and landforms and
provide for subtle transitions of architectural elements to grade. Significant cuts and fills in
relation to natural grade shall be avoided or minimized to the extent practical given property
constraints.
Staff Commentary: The topography of the site is characterized by riparian corridors, running
north to south along the western and eastern edges of the subdivision. The subdivision design
primarily avoids these areas, preserving them as undisturbed natural open space, and includes
a 15-foot protective apron to ensure disturbance from construction does not occur. The
property slopes from north to south but no significant cuts or fills will be necessary.
A full drainage report will be required as part of the Final Design review submittal to verify
conformance with the Town’s Drainage Criteria Manual. All post-development flow shall be
mitigated and released in the same manner and quantity as the existing conditions.
Connectivity: strengthen the usability and connectivity of the pedestrian environment intern ally
and externally by6 enhancing access to the public street system, transit, adjoining
development and pedestrian and bicycle transportation routes. Buildings and uses should
provide access to adjacent open space and recreational areas where appropriate.
Staff Commentary: Sidewalks are proposed throughout the subdivision to improve pedestrian
connectivity. A recreation trail will also connect both phases of the larger Saguaro Viejos
subdivision. Additionally, a shared-use path will be constructed on the south side of Glover
Road connecting to the existing path from La Cholla Boulevard.
Design Standards Analysis
The proposed Conceptual Site Plan has been reviewed for conformance with the Conceptual
Site Design Standards. Following are key Design Standards (in italics), followed by staff’s
commentary.
Section 3.1.A.1.a: Place open space elements visible from roadways within residential areas.
Section 3.1.A.1.c: Provide open space at project entries.
Staff Commentary: The subdivision design provides enhanced buffer yards at both entry
points, along Glover Road and Naranja Drive. Additionally, riparian areas surround the
subdivision to the west and east. These areas provide extensive buffers visible from roadways
and surrounding homes.
Section 3.1.B.2: Street trees, landscape themes, varied setbacks or architectural treatments
shall be used to provide individual street character.
Staff Commentary: The applicant’s proposal incorporates a housing product that will utilize
varied setbacks and entries, including side entry garages, which will provide for diversity and
individual street character.
Section 3.1.D.4: Pedestrian connections shall be provided between neighborhoods
Staff Commentary: The proposed subdivision will incorporate sidewalks throughout and
include a shared-use path along Glover Road. Furthermore, a recreation trail connecting the
two phases of this subdivision is proposed through the natural open space.
Conceptual Landscape Plan
The Conceptual Landscape Plan is in conformance with the applicable Zoning Code
requirements. The Conceptual Landscape Plan includes landscaped entries, as well as
landscaping in all common areas. The landscape plan preserves the riparian areas located
along the western and eastern perimeters of the property
Recreation Area Plan
The Recreation Area Plan includes both passive and active elements. The subdivision includes
one recreation area, which exceeds the required amount of acres per lots and is centrally
located accessible to all lots. The recreation area features passive and active amenities which
includes seating, shade, fitness stations, a recreation trail and more.

Town Council Regular Session Item # 3.
Meeting Date:04/04/2018
Requested by: Bayer Vella
Submitted By:Milini Simms, Community Development & Public Works
Department:Community Development & Public Works
Information
SUBJECT:
PUBLIC HEARING: DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING ORDINANCE NO. (O)18-06, REQUEST TO
REZONE AN 85.2-ACRE PROPERTY LOCATED NEAR THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF NARANJA DRIVE AND LA CHOLLA
BOULEVARD FROM R1-20 and R1-144 TO R1-7
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant proposes to rezone an 85.2-acre property from R1-144 and R1-20 to R1-7 to develop a 178 lot
single-family residential subdivision, located near the northwest corner of Naranja Drive and La Cholla Boulevard
(Attachment 1). The request includes two flexible design options enabled by the Environmentally Sensitive Lands
regulations: 1) smaller building setbacks and 2) reduced lot size and width (Attachment 2).
The accompanying Tentative Development Plan (Attachment 3) proposes the following:
Lot sizes ranging from 6,500 square feet (sf) to 16,000 sf
Average lot size of 7,320 sf
Approximately 33 acres (39%) of preserved environmentally sensitive open space and preservation of
significant saguaros
A 3.5 acre recreation area
Several pedestrian trails including a trail connection for Poppy Trail No. 33
Three access points: Glover Road (north), La Cholla Blvd. (east) and Naranja Drive (south)
On March 6, 2018, the Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) considered this request and recommended denial
(for meeting minutes see Attachment 4). The specific concerns of the Commission are shown below in italics,
followed by staff commentary.
1. Increased traffic on Naranja Drive
In 2015, the Town widened Naranja Drive to create a painted center median which doubles as a continuous
left-turn lane for westbound vehicles entering Ironwood High School (located southwest of the subject
property). These improvements met the intended results and Naranja Drive, between La Cholla Blvd. and
Shannon Rd., is relatively free flowing and provides a good level of service for motorists even during peak
school times.
Primary traffic flow entering and exiting the proposed development will be from La Cholla Boulevard. Naranja
Drive will be secondary and rationally avoided during peak school times.
2. Timing of traffic improvements to Glover Road and La Cholla Boulevard
Off-site improvements to Glover Road will coincide with development of this subdivision or the Phase 1 of
Saguaros Viejos (immediately west of the proposed rezoning), whichever connects to Glover Road first. After
the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, this condition was refined and revised to reflect the extent
and timing of improvements (Attachment 1).
Construction for the widening of La Cholla Boulevard to four lanes, is anticipated to begin during the latter half
of 2018. The roadway design includes accommodations for the Saguaro Viejos intersection and completion is
expected to take approximately 2 years, which coincides with the probable timing of this development.
3. Compatibility between the proposed development and surrounding uses
The proposed subdivision is located between varying land uses ranging from large and small lot residential to
potential commercial.
To provide an effective transition between these varying land uses, the applicant proposes the following
measures:
Placement of larger (approx. 16,000 sf) and fewer lots along the northern and eastern perimeter
Using the existing La Cholla Boulevard right-of-way along the eastern perimeter as a 150'-plus buffer
Using the existing wash along the western perimeter as a 150'-plus wide natural buffer
Internalizing the majority of small lots within the subdivision
A more detailed analysis of the traffic impacts and compatibility to surrounding areas is included in Section C of this
report. As such staff recommended approval, subject to the conditions in Attachment 1, during the Planning and
Zoning Commission meeting.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
A. EXISTING CONDITIONS AND CONTEXT
Land Use Context
The existing General Plan land use and zoning districts for the property and surrounding area are provided in
Attachment 5.
Site Conditions
85.2 acres
Property is vacant
Two critical wash corridors traversing the site from north to south
Numerous saguaros onsite, 13 of which are 24' or taller with 2 or more arms
Approvals-To-Date
2007-Rezoning from R1-144 to R1-20 approved for both phases of the project.
2014-Conceptual Site Plan approved for both phases of the project, which expired in 2016
Since the previous approvals, the project was split into two phases. The applicant's request for this phase in
comparison with the previous approvals is provided in the table below and shown graphically in Attachment 6:
Previous Approvals Current Proposal
Land Area Approx. 83 acres 85.2 acres
Number of lots 74 lots 178 lots
Lot size 16,058 sf to 59,502 sf 6,500 sf to 16,000 sf
Average lot size 28,371 sf 7,320 sf
Open space conserved 8.2 acres-26% (of entire site) 33 acres-39%
B. PROPOSED REZONING
The applicant proposes to change the existing zoning from R1-144 and R1-20 to R1-7 to develop a 178 lot,
single-family residential subdivision (Attachment 2).
1. Zoning Analysis
The proposed rezoning has been reviewed for conformance with the Zoning Code and the Your Voice Our Future
General Plan. A discussion of the application’s conformance with each of these items is provided below.
2. Tentative Development Plan (TDP):
The proposed TDP (Attachment 3) depicts 178 lots with a minimum lot size of 6,500 sf, three access points, a
recreational area and multiple trails. Additionally, the design conserves the critical washes onsite (approximately 33
acres of environmentally sensitive open space) and maintains the intent of the original rezoning by placing larger
and fewer lots along the northern and eastern perimeters.
The following development standards are notable for this proposal:
Access and Circulation: The property is accessed by three driveways 1) Glover Road (north) 2) La Cholla Blvd.
(east) and 3) Naranja Drive (south). The proposed development also incorporates trails and pathways
throughout the design, connecting to larger regional trails in the area. To ensure there is sufficient
infrastructure to support traffic from the proposed development, several rezoning conditions are included
in Attachment 1. For further information regarding traffic, please see Section C.
Neighborhood Compatibility: The proposed development is located near two schools, between larger lot and
smaller lot residential and adjacent to either proposed commercial or medium-density residential (Capella).
Additionally, it is located along the La Cholla Boulevard corridor, which is experiencing growth due to the
planned road widening project. To provide an effective transition between these various uses, the applicant
proposes placing larger (approximately 16,000 sf) and fewer lots along the northern and eastern property lines,
which effectively internalizes the smaller lots within the subdivision. For more information about compatibility
and a full list of mitigation measures, please see Section C.
Drainage: The property has two critical washes flowing in a southernly direction through the development.
Through the use of detention basins, the proposed development will not increase pre-existing storm water
run-off exiting the property and the drainage system will be designed to ensure that all proposed habitable
structures adjacent to the wash will be protected from flooding and erosion.
Grading: The proposed development will be mass graded and all code requirements for native plant
preservation and mitigation will be met.
3. ESL Flexible Design Options
Through the Environmentally Sensitive Lands (ESL) Ordinance, flexible design options are available to property
owners when open space is applied to at least 25% or more of the property. The subject property has two ESL
designations (for specifics, see Attachment 5) as well as numerous Saguaros onsite. The applicant is
preserving 39% environmentally sensitive open space and therefore requesting the following flexible design options
shown below in italics, followed by staff commentary.
Smaller building setbacks: Reduce the side setbacks from seven and a half (7.5’) feet to no less than five (5’)
feet, and the front setbacks from twenty (20’) feet to no less than fifteen (15’) feet, provided that it does not
result in an on-lot driveway less than twenty (20’) feet in length .
The proposed setback reductions is a reasonable request because it would allow a more varied and
attractive streetscape, while maintaining a sufficient driveway length for on-lot parking.
Lot size and width reductions: Reduce the minimum lot size from 7,000 square feet to 6,500 square feet, and
the minimum lot width from 70 feet to 50 feet for the 103 of 178 lots.
In R1-7 zoning, this ESL incentive allows for a lot size reduction up to 5,500 square feet with a
concomitant lot width reduction. The proposed lot reduction for 103 lots of the 178 lots is reasonable
because it allows the proposed residential development to conserve more environmentally sensitive open
space while maintaining an effective transition between uses.
4. General Plan Conformance
The applicant’s proposal has been reviewed for conformance with the Vision, Goals and Policies of the Your Voice
Our Future General Plan. An analysis of notable goals and policies is included in Attachment 5.
C. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
On March 6, 2018, the Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) considered this request and recommended denial
(for meeting minutes see Attachment 4). Specific concerns from the Commission are shown below in italics,
followed by staff commentary.
1. Increased traffic on Naranja Drive
Concerns were expressed about Naranja Drive congestion in the morning and afternoon during the start and end of
a typical Ironwood Ridge school day. Notable points are:
The main cause of congestion is the strong prevalence of westbound traffic for entry into the parking and
drop-off/pick-up areas within the school campus.
The congestion issue is compounded by the fact the school is located on the south side of Naranja Drive which
forces most motorists to make left-turns into the campus. This results in a long back-up of vehicles, particularly
during the morning peak periods.
However, traffic is free-flowing during peak hours in the thru-lanes due to the Town widening Naranja Drive in 2015
to create a painted center median which doubles as a continuous left-turn lane for westbound vehicles entering the
school. The purpose of the center lane is to free up the westbound through lane by providing a separate storage
area for motorists waiting to enter the school from the east. The Naranja Drive improvements met the intended
results as the westbound through lane from west of La Cholla Boulevard to Shannon Road is relatively free flowing
during the morning and afternoon peak periods.
The other main issue resulting from the heavy morning and afternoon traffic is the difficulty for motorists to turn left
out of new or existing subdivisions along the south side of this segment of Naranja Drive. The easiest solution to
alleviate this issue which is the result of westbound left-turning traffic essentially forming a solid barrier between west
and eastbound lanes is to turn right and proceed to La Cholla Blvd.
For the proposed development of Saguaros Viejos, there are two important points to be noted:
Saguaros Viejos has two other access points to the public right-of-way. Future residents desiring to head south
towards Tucson, north towards Tangerine Road or east towards Oracle Road will be able to get by utilizing the
La Cholla Boulevard or Glover Road access drives. Other subdivisions along Naranja Drive also have
secondary access drive connections such as The Estates at Cappella to La Cholla Boulevard and Saguaros
Viejos West to Glover Road
During all other times beyond the heavy morning and afternoon peak periods, Naranja Drive has relatively low
in traffic volume and therefore provides a good level of service for motorists in any direction.
2. Timing of traffic improvements to Glover Road and La Cholla Boulevard
Glover Road: Similar to Naranja Drive, Glover Road west of La Cholla Boulevard provides direct access to a
school. As a result, the morning and afternoon peaks create area traffic congestion that lasts a relatively short
duration. To mitigate for additional traffic, a rezoning condition (Attachment 1) is for the developer to widen Glover
Road to incorporate through and multi-use lanes in each direction, a painted center median and a shared use path
on the south side of the road.
Timing of the Glover Road improvement is to coincide with development of Saguaros Viejos West (Phase 1) or
Saguaros Viejos East (Phase 2, this project), whichever connects to Glover Road first. It should also be noted this
segment of Glover Road is currently owned and operated by the Amphi School District. However, the developer will
be dedicating right-of-way and working with the Amphi School District to dedicate their portion of right-of-way for the
Town to take over this improved section of Glover Road once completed.
After the Planning and Zoning Commission, this condition was refined and revised (Attachment 1) to reflect the
extent and timing of the aforementioned improvements.
La Cholla Boulevard: Construction for the widening of La Cholla Boulevard to four lanes, as funded by the RTA, is
anticipated to begin during the latter half of 2018. The roadway design already includes accommodations for the
future Saguaros Viejos intersection, including a left-turn median opening for northbound traffic into the subdivision
from La Cholla Boulevard. Completion of the La Cholla widening improvement project is expected to take
approximately 2 years, which coincides well with the potential timing of this development.
3. Compatibility to existing homes east of the property
The proposed subdivision is located between varying land uses and along the La Cholla Boulevard corridor, which is
experiencing growth due to the planned widening of the road. Specifically, the subject property is:
Located near two schools, located to the north and south adjacent to either potential commercial or
medium-density residential located on the northwest corner of La Cholla Boulevard and Naranja Drive.
Proposes a zoning designation (R1-7) similar to the existing zoning designations established east (R1-10 and
R1-7) and south of the property (R1-7).
Fits within a wide array of varying lot sizes surrounding the property, which include:
North - Average lot size: 4.47 acres; ranging from 3.37 ac to 4.14 ac
East - Average lot sizes: 1) La Cholla Ridge Estates = 8,150 sf; ranging from 7,770 sf to 12,997 sf; 2)
Ironwood Ranch = 18,500 sf; ranging from 14,673 sf to 28,884 sf; and 3) Proposed Capella PAD =
average lot size unknown & minimum size of 6,600 s.f -- or commercial use
West - Average lot size: 30,087 sf; ranging from 16,000 sf to 63,195 sf
South - Average lot size: 7,898 sf; ranging from 6,546 sf to 13,266 sf
To provide an effective transition between the varying uses surrounding the property, the applicant proposes the
following measures:
Placing larger (approx.16,000 sf) and fewer lots along the northern and eastern property lines
Internalizing smaller lots within the subdivision
Using the existing La Cholla Boulevard right-of-way along the east property line as a 150'-plus wide buffer
between the proposed development and existing homes
Using the existing wash along the west property line as a 150’-plus wide natural buffer between the proposed
development and future large lot subdivision (Saguaros Viejos Phase 1)
D. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION

Neighborhood Meetings
Two neighborhood meetings were held on March 22, 2017, and December 7, 2017, with approximately 18 and 3
residents, respectively. The main topics discussed at the meetings included access points, view preservation,
building height, open space, land use transition, school capacity, and mass grading. A copy of the neighborhood
meeting summary notes are included as Attachment 7.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission initially made a motion to approve the proposed rezoning. However, this
motion failed as a tie vote. Upon which, staff encouraged the commission to make another motion to move the
request to Town Council. This concluded with a recommendation for denial (for meeting minutes, see Attachment 4)
passing 5-1.
Denial was recommended due to specific concerns regarding traffic on Naranja Drive, timing of traffic
improvements and compatibility to existing homes east of the property. These items are addressed in Section C
of this staff report. As such, staff recommended approval during the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The additional rooftops will help support existing and proposed commercial sites along the La Cholla Corridor.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
I MOVE to APPROVE Ordinance No. (O)18-06, approving the Saguaros Viejos East Rezoning from R1-144 and
R1-20 to R1-7, including the use of ESL’s Flexible Design Options, based on the finding that the request is
consistent with the Zoning Code and the Your Voice Our Future General Plan, subject to the conditions in
Attachment 1.
OR
I MOVE to DENY Ordinance No. (O)18-06, approving the Saguaros Viejos East Rezoning from R1-144 and R1-20
to R1-7, based on the finding that the request is not consistent with the Zoning Code and/or Your Voice Our Future
General Plan, specifically ____________________________________.

Introduction
Saguaros Viejos Phase II - Rezoning Site Analysis
WLB No. 199032-B-004 1
Introduction
Saguaros Viejos Phase II is a proposed 85.2± acre neighborhood consisting of medium density residential lots, landscaped
common areas, a recreational area, and natural open space. This project (Phase II) is part of the overall Saguaros Viejos
project which includes Phase I, a subdivision consisting of larger sized lots. Currently, the Phase II subject property remains
undeveloped. The Saguaros Viejos project will provide reasonable residential density while at the same time preserve the
most environmentally sensitive portions of the site.
This request is to rezone the property from R1-20 to R1-7. The proposed rezoning is supported by several factors, including
its proximity to existing medium density residential developments, proximity to schools, compatibility with surrounding
residential land uses, and adjacency to significant roadways. The anticipated overall gross density of Saguaros Viejos is
approximately 2.1 dwelling units per acre, which is similar to existing neighborhoods adjacent to the project area. A density
transition to existing residences to the west will be provided by the larger lot subdivision in Saguaros Viejos Phase I.
Additionally, larger lots are planned on the north and east edges of the project site to provide a buffer near existing
residences. Saguaros Viejos will meet Town requirements and set aside sensitive natural desert areas on-site, specifically,
lands within and near washes identified as Critical Resource Areas in the Town of Oro Valley Environmentally Sensitive Lands
Ordinance (ESL).
In order to make this project a reality, the appropriate land entitlements must be acquired for the property. This request to
rezone the property from R1-20 to R1-7 will allow the appropriate density, provide a generous amount of open space and
comply with the Oro Valley Environmentally Sensitive Lands Ordinance.

5. Hydrology
A. Offsite Watersheds
The site is located in the La Cañada del Oro watershed, which has a 100-year peak discharge of
approximately 28,000 cfs at the confluence with the Santa Cruz River. The Cañada del Oro Wash is located
south of the project site and flows west to the Santa Cruz River.
Please refer to Exhibit I-5-A: Offsite Watersheds.
B. Balanced / Critical Basins
Per Town decree, the entire Town is classified as a critical basin.
C. Offsite Features Affecting or Affected by the Property
There are several box culverts located beneath Glover Road. There is also a detention basin with a storm
drain along the southern portion of the existing Richard B. Wilson Elementary K-8 School. Also, the adjacent
Ironwood Ranch subdivision collects and redirects sheet flow from the previously mentioned watershed
and washes through culverts and engineered channels throughout the subdivision. Base flood elevations
have not been established by FEMA.
D. Area of Upstream Watersheds Greater than 100 CFS
There are a total of four separate offsite watersheds discharging 100-year discharges greater than 100 cfs
onto the project. The offsite watersheds range in size from 9.7 acres to 252 acres. The minor watersheds
that impact the proposed site are a combination of the areas located on the east end of the property
boundary and the immediate area.
Please refer to Exhibit I-5-B: Onsite Hydrology Characteristics.
E. Location / Ownership of Well Sites within 100’ of Site
According to the Arizona Department of Water Resources, there are no wells located within 100 feet of the
project site.
F. Onsite Hydrology Characteristics
Please refer to Exhibit I-5-B: Onsite Hydrology Characteristics
i. Approximate 100-year floodplains with discharges equal to or greater than 50 cfs.
No portions of the project site have been designated Zone A by FEMA but rather a Zone X. The onsite
depths and velocities were not determined for this analysis without revised studies of all natural
channels greater than or equal to 50 cfs. Base flood elevations have not been established by FEMA.
Part I – Inventory & Analysis
Saguaros Viejos Phase II - Rezoning Site Analysis
WLB No. 199032-B-004 11
ii. Areas of sheet flooding, with average depths
Average sheet flow depth was not determined for this analysis. All stormwater flows are collected in
numerous braided, meandering confined natural channels and directed south through the project site.
iii. Federally mapped floodways and floodplains
The site is not located within a FEMA floodplain per Arizona Flood Insurance Rate map community
Panel Number 04019C1070L effective date June 16, 2011. There are no designated floodways onsite.
iv. Calculation of all 100-year peak discharges exceeding 50 cfs
Onsite discharges are insignificant compared to the offsite flow volumes. While the local drainage and
conveyance will be addressed in the final drainage report, the offsite drainage and conveyance remain
the dominant flows.
G. Existing Drainage Conditions along the Downstream Property Boundary
Naranja Drive forms the downstream property boundary. Naranja Drive has recently been improved by
the Town to add traffic capacity and also to address historic flooding and sedimentation problems that used
to exist in several locations.

• La Cholla Boulevard (shared use path and signed bike route w/ on-street bike lane)
• Glover Road (shared use path and signed bike route w/ on-street bike lane)
A paved shoulder on the south side of Glover Road is striped for a bike lane, which provides a
connection with the Richard B. Wilson Elementary and Middle School. A shared-use path parallels
Glover Road on the south side of the road and is separated from Glover Road by a raised curb. The
Naranja Drive bike path provides connection with the Ironwood Ridge High School. The Naranja Drive
bike path eventually connects with the shared use path and signed bike route with on-street bike lane
along La Cañada Drive. At that point, it changes to a paved shoulder bike path as it continues east. La
Cholla Boulevard on-street bike route and shared use path provides north-south connectivity along the
eastern edge of the subject property. At this moment, bike paths do not provide any direct connectivity
to an existing park.

1. Land Uses
A. Project Description
This project proposes to rezone the subject property from R1-20 to R1-7. This would allow for a residential
subdivision with a density of 2.1 dwelling units per acre, consisting of 178 single-family detached homes on
85.2±-acres. All 178 homes will be semi-custom site built one or two-story homes with a 25-foot maximum
height. All of the lots will have a minimum size of 50’ x 130’ (6,500 sq. ft.) to 55’x130’ (7,150 sq. ft.) though
the home sizes will vary. Larger transitional lot sizes are proposed along the northern and eastern edges
of the project. The architectural design of these homes will be consistent with surrounding residential
developments and will adhere to Town of Oro Valley Design Guidelines. They will be constructed out of
materials such as stucco, adobe, and wood frame, and will have either a gabled, tiled or flat roof. Perimeter
walls will meet the Oro Valley Design Guidelines, and landscape treatments and design will be similar to
the existing landscapes of the surrounding neighborhoods.
Refer to Exhibit II-1-A: Conceptual Land Use Plan.
B. General Plan Conformance
The proposed residential neighborhood provides for open space conservation, protection of sensitive
environmental areas and encourages medium density residential development in accordance with Town
requirements.
The subject property conforms to the existing General Plan designation of Medium Density Residential
(MDR) which allows for a maximum residential density of 5 dwellings per acre. The overall gross density of
the proposed community at 2.1 dwellings per acre will serve as a transition between the existing higher
densities of neighboring communities to the east and lower densities west of the project. This project also
known as Phase II relies on the previously approved Phase I, which serves as additional density transition
to the west.
C. Flexible Design Options / Conservation Subdivision Design
As part of this rezoning application, the subject property seeks to utilize some of the Flexible Development
provisions available as part of the sites participation in the Environmentally Sensitive Lands Ordinance
(ESLO) (Section 27.10.F.2.c).

Section 27.10.(F)(2)(b) – Applicability
i. The following design options may be applied to property or portions of property when ESOS
is applied to twenty‐five (25%) or more of a project site, except as provided herein.
ESOS Total for site = 39%
(a) Building Setbacks: Per Section 27.10(F)(2)(b) – Applicability, and the use of a Conservation Subdivision
Design for a reduced minimum lot size of no less than 6,500 square feet, we request that the side
setbacks be reduced to no less than five (5) feet, front setbacks shall be reduced to no less than fifteen
(15) feet for the use of side entry garages and non‐garage building elements only, and the rear setbacks
be reduced to twenty (20) feet – consistent with zoning distric ts with comparable lot sizes. This request
will not result in an on‐lot driveway length of less than twenty (20) feet. This request will allow for a
residential subdivision to incorporate more diverse details and massing conditions, which will lead to a
more attractive and varied streetscape. The reduced setbacks will allow for the maximization of
continuous protected open space as well as reduce the amount and improve the efficiency of
necessary, critical infrastructure systems.
(b) Minimum Lot Size: Per Section 27.10(F)(2)(b) – Applicability, and Section 27.10(F)(2)(d)(iii)(c) – Lot Size
Reduction, we request the ability to reduce the minimum lot size to no less than 6,500 square feet.
The reduction in lot size allows for the clustering of development, an instrumental element of the
Conservation Subdivision Design. Lot Size Reduction allows for the maximization of continuous
protected open space, as well as reduce the amount and improve the efficiency of necessary, critical
infrastructure systems.
(c) Minimum Lot Width: Per Section 27.10(F)(2)(b) ‐ Applicability, and Section 27.10(F)(2)(d)(iii)(c) – Lot
Size Reduction, we request the ability to reduce the minimum lot width to no less than 50 feet. This
reduction in size will allow for a minimum lot size of 50’ x 130’ (6,500 square feet) and will aid in the
clustering of the development. Lot Width Reduction allows for the maximization of continuous
protected open space, as well as reduce the amount and improve the efficiency of necessary, critical
infrastructure systems.
(d) Recreation Area Credit: Per Section 27.10(F)(2)(b) – Applicability, we request that the passive and/or
active recreation amenities located within the ESOS resource management area be credited toward
the residential recreation area requirements. The proposed recreation areas satisfy the locational
requirements of Section 26.5, Provision Recreational Area, and connectivity between the recreation
areas and open space has been maintained.
D. Effect on Existing Land Uses
Since the subject property is currently vacant, there will be no negative impact to existing land uses. This
residential development, with its relatively low proposed land use intensity, as well as landscape and
architectural standards, will be compatible with the surrounding neighborhoods.

2. Environmentally Sensitive Lands
A. ESOS Selection & Preservation Methods
In accordance with the General Plan and the ESLO, the most sensitive resources on the site will receive the
greatest level of protection. Desert wash areas are vital resources in several ways. The associated riparian
areas are biologically diverse, providing wildlife habitat and important movement corridors and
connectivity for various wildlife species. These areas have the greatest priority among the resources
existing on the property.
This project will be in conformance with the ESL guidelines of the Zoning Code. The site plan provides at
least 95% conservation of Critical Resource Areas and 25% open space within the Resource Management
Areas Tier 2. The amount of CRA being preserved in its natural condition is 16.2± acres and the amount of
RMA Tier 2 being preserved in its natural condition is 11.1± acres. An additional 5.9± acres of RMA Tier 2
will be revegetated and counted towards the ESOS calculations. In addition, the project avoids the minor
washes and the significant vegetation throughout the site. The onsite ESOS areas help maintain open space
connectivity within and beyond the project site, and will allow for uninterrupted wildlife movement.
There are no Major Wildlife Linkages or Core Resource Areas within the subject property. ESOS within the
community will be permanently preserved in accordance with ESL standards. This ESOS area will be
permanently protected within as open space tract or easement. Ownership and maintenance of ESOS
areas, which incorporate the RMA and CRA lands to be preserved, will be by the homeowners’ association.
Any vegetation that is disturbed will meet the mitigation requirements as set forth in the Town of Oro
Valley Zoning Code.
Refer to Exhibit II-3-A: Proposed ESOS Map.

3. Topography
A. Design Response to Site Topography
Due to the relatively flat character of the subject property and the lack of challenging topographic
constraints, the development of this property can proceed within out special grading considerations.
B. Slope Encroachment
The subject property does not contain any regulated 15% or greater slopes, and as such there are no areas
of encroachment.
C. Hillside Conservation Areas
There are no Hillside Conservation Areas on the subject property.
D. Quantified Site Disturbance
Approximately 57.6± acres (68%) of the site will be graded, and 27.6± acres (32%) of the site will be left in
its natural condition, or improved as part of the recreation area. At least 5.9± acres of the graded areas of
the site will be revegetated with native vegetation and will become landscaped common area bringing the
effective open space area to at least 33.2± acres (39%) of the site.
Refer to Exhibit II-3-A Proposed ESOS Map and Exhibit II-4-A: Proposed Grading Limits.

4. Cultural / Archaeological / Historic Resources
A. Resource Protection
If any cultural resources are discovered during construction, State and local rules will be followed regarding
the handling and treatment of such cultural resources.
B. Treatment Plan
The entire project site has been surveyed for archaeological resources (see Archaeological Survey of the La
Cholla/Glover SWC Project Near Oro Valley, Pima County, Arizona 2009. No significant cultural or historic
resources area known to occur on the site. In the unlikely event that cultural resources are uncovered
during construction a professional archaeologist will evaluate the exposed material before any work
continues in the area of the discovery. If any human remains or funerary objects are discovered during the
construction of this project, all work will stop within the area of the remains and Dr. Tod Pitezel, ASM
assistant curator of archaeology, will be contacted immediately.

WLB No. 199032-B-004 52
5. Hydrology
A. Design Response to Site Hydrology/Modification of Drainage Patterns/Mitigation
The site layout will impact hydrologic characteristics such as impervious cover and minor floodplain
encroachment. Erosion control measures will be incorporated into the design for areas of encroachment
into floodplains. As a result of increased impervious cover, detention basins will be constructed to detain
the increased flows, and will feature outlet structures (weirs, culverts and/or catch basins) to discharge the
basins as a metered flow rate no greater than existing conditions peak stormwater runoff rate. Detention
basins will be spread throughout the development so as to minimize their visual impact. In-line detention
is not proposed as part of this project. Where roadway crossings are proposed, culverts or bridges will be
employed to convey stormwater past the crossings.
The project will address not only onsite flows that will be produced by the increase in impervious surfaces,
but also the flows entering the site from the north and east. The project will be designed to avoid negatively
impacting upstream and downstream properties. All drainage improvements proposed outside of public
right-of-way within this development will be owned and maintained by the HOA.
Drainage design will be in accordance with the Town’s Drainage Criteria Manual and Floodplain Ordinance.
During the detailed engineering design phase of each parcel, the developer will work closely with Town
staff to identify ways to minimize erosion and channel down-cutting.
D. Town Policy Conformance
The post-developed 100-year discharges exiting the site will be maintained in their current condition. Town
Policy requires all development to conform to “critical basin” requirements and not result in any adverse
impacts for adjacent or downstream property owners.

6. Wildlife
A. Mitigation
This development will preserve a minimum 95% of the Critical Resource Areas (CRA) onsite. These areas
along the periphery of the site will be designated as open space which will maintain open space connectivity
within and beyond the project site, which will allow for uninterrupted wildlife movement.

7. Viewsheds
A. Design Response to Site Viewsheds
With the subject property being relatively flat, the projects internal roadway network and homesites will
minimally disturb viewsheds. The semi-custom site will consist of 1-2 story homes with 25 foot maximum
height. Bufferyards will be provided around the perimeter of the property to help mitigate views into the
site.
B. ORSCOD / TRCOD Conformance
This property does not fall within the Tangerine Road Corridor Overlay District (TRCOD) target area and is
outside of the Oracle Road Scenic Corridor Overlay District (ORSCOD).
The architectural design of these homes will be consistent with surrounding residential developments and
will adhere to the Town of Oro Valley design guidelines. They will be constructed out of materials such as
stucco, adobe, and wood frame, and will have either a gabled, tiled or flat roof.

8. Traffic
A. Traffic Impact Analysis
Provide a traffic analysis report to include:
i. The proposed internal circulation and access to/from arterial streets, explaining location and
rationale for placement.
The subject property will have three ingress/egress points that will connect this neighborhood
directly to Glover Road to the north, La Cholla Boulevard to the east and Naranja Drive to the south.
The Glover Road ingress/egress point is located 600 feet from the intersection of Glover Road and
La Cholla Boulevard. The La Cholla Boulevard ingress/egress point will be approximately 680 feet
north of the Arizona Rose Drive. The Naranja Drive driveway will be opposite the existing Gemini
Drive, the Naranja Drive access point to the Estates at Capella residential development on the south
side of Naranja Drive.
ii. If off-site road improvements are required, indicate which roads and time frame for improvements.
This project will require the construction of a three-lane paved cross section on Glover Road from
La Cholla Boulevard to the eastern driveway into the site. West of the eastern driveway, Glover
Road should taper down to a two-lane section. Improvements to Glover Road will need to include
a shared-use path along the southern side of the roadway. A westbound left turn lane on Glover
Road at the east driveway will be warranted based on Pima County turn lane warrants. Right turn
lanes are not warranted on either Glover Road or Naranja Drive. Based on the location of the La
Cholla Boulevard project access, a northbound left turn lane into the project site will be warranted
to provide access into the site, but will need to limit the outbound traffic to right-out only.
The Town of Oro Valley and Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) are currently in the design
and/or construction phase on several projects located within the project vicinity including:
• Tangerine Road will be widened from two lanes to four lanes with sidewalks and multi-use
lanes from Interstate 10 (I-10) to La Cañada Drive.
• Currently in the preliminary design phase, La Cholla Boulevard improvements will include
widening the roadway from two lanes to a four lane median divided street from Overton
Road to Tangerine Road.
iii. Projected ADT for internal circulation system at build out and level of service to all streets. Include
a projection of traffic volumes and capacity analysis for intersections.
With and average daily trip (ADT) of 9.52 trips per household, the 178 residential lots proposed
within this development will generate approximately 1,695 ADT. The local private streets inside
this development and the abutting arterial roadways, which are operating below capacity, will be
able to accommodate traffic generated from this project.
Part II – Land Use Plan
Saguaros Viejos Phase II - Rezoning Site Analysis
WLB No. 199032-B-004 56
iv. Impact to existing development abutting off-site streets.
Once the widening of La Cholla Boulevard to a four-lane urban arterial is complete, it will improve
the roadways and intersections in the vicinity of the project. This project will add only 2-5% of the
traffic to the surrounding roads and intersections.
v. Capacity analyses for proposed internal and off-site streets, including right-of-way and pavement
widths, geometrics, design speeds and traffic control improvements needed.
La Cholla Boulevard
La Cholla Boulevard is a two-lane paved arterial road with a posted speed limit of 45 mph. The
existing right-of-way varies between 70 and 150 feet and the ultimate right-of-way is 150 feet,
which is continuous. According to the Pima Association of Governments (PAG) 2016 Traffic
Volumes, the average daily trip volume (ADT) for this arterial roadway is between 6,100 and 7,800
vehicles per day.
Glover Road
Glover Road is a private two-lane paved road (one travel lane in each direction) partially owned by
Amphitheater School District, with a posted speed limit of 35 mph. It provides direct access to the
Richard B. Wilson Elementary and Middle School property, located one-third mile west of La Cholla
Boulevard. The existing R.O.W. is 45 feet and the ultimate R.O.W. is 95 feet. This project will
dedicate and additional 50 feet of R.O.W. to allow for the construction of necessary improvements
to Glover Road. Construction of the improvements to Glover Road will be the responsibility of the
developer and not the Town of Oro Valley. Estimated daily volumes on Glover Road are 2,300
vehicles per day west of La Cholla Boulevard and 1,300 vehicles per day east of La Cholla Boulevard.
Naranja Drive
Naranja Drive is a three-lane arterial road with one through lane in each direction and a two-way
left turn lane. It has a posted speed of 35 mph. The existing and ultimate right-of-way width is 150
feet. According to available traffic data on the PAG website, there were approximately 4,700 vpd
west of La Cholla (2014 count) and 6,500 vpd east of La Cholla Boulevard (2015 count)
All project roadways will operate at level of service D through the year 2019 with the project site
trips added. The existing intersections in the vicinity of the project that were analyzed in the
attached Traffic Impact Study will operate at LOS D or better. Capacity analyses were also
conducted for the project driveways and all will operate at LOS D or better with the project.
vi. A description of improvements required for those streets described in sub-paragraph v. above.
The traffic impact study found that a westbound left turn is warranted at the Glover Road access.
This can be accommodated with a two-way left turn lane constructed from La Cholla Boulevard to
this access location. The location of the La Cholla Boulevard access is 680 feet north of Arizona
Rose Drive. A median opening on La Cholla Boulevard at Arizona Rose Drive is shown on the current
widening plans. A directional northbound left turn lane could be constructed at the La Cholla
Part II – Land Use Plan
Saguaros Viejos Phase II - Rezoning Site Analysis
WLB No. 199032-B-004 57
project access location to allow northbound left turns into the project site. However, the proximity
of this access to the median opening to the south precludes another median opening at the project
access. If the project access was relocated to a midpoint between Glover Road and Arizona Rose
Drive, it may be possible for this access to not be restricted.
vii. The party/agency that the applicant believes to be responsible for making necessary
improvements.
The developer will be responsible for making the necessary improvements to Glover Road and La
Cholla Boulevard.
viii. Evidence that proposed turning movements will meet safety standards in relationship to traffic
volumes.
The proposed ingress/egress points for the project site are located on Naranja Drive, Glover Road
and La Cholla Boulevard and are spaced to meet driveway spacing and corner clearance
standards in relationship to speed limits and traffic volumes. The ingress/egress point on Naranja
Drive will be located at existing curb cut and will be opposite an existing street (Gemini Drive).
B. Proposed Rights-of-Way
The proposed roadways within this development will have a right-of-way width of 50 feet and will meet the
Town of Oro Valley Minimum Design Standards. All on-site vehicular circulation elements will be private if
gated and owned by the HOA, otherwise they will be public. The project is planned to be gated.
C. Proposed Pedestrian / Bicycle Circulation
At the time of the Glover Road widening, a multi-use path/sidewalk will need to be developed along the
south side of Glover Road. The proposed residential development will make pedestrian and bicycle
connections to three shared-use paths located on Glover Road, La Cholla Boulevard, and Naranja Drive.
Sidewalks will be constructed on both sides of the private streets within the project site, and will connect
to the existing sidewalks and shared-use paths.

Case Number: OV1701685
SUBJECT:
PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST TO REZONE AN 85.2-ACRE
PROPERTY LOCATED NEAR THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF
NARANJA DRIVE AND LA CHOLLA BOULEVARD FROM R1-20 AND
R1-144 TO R1-7, OV1701685
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed rezoning subject to the
conditions in Attachment 1.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant proposes to rezone an 85.2-acre property from R1-144
and R1-20 to R1-7 to develop a residential subdivision, located near
the northwest corner of Naranja Drive and La Cholla Boulevard. The
request includes two flexible design options enabled by the
Environmentally Sensitive Lands regulations: 1) smaller building
setbacks and 2) reduced lot size and width.
The application (Attachment 2) proposes the following:
178 lots with a minimum lot size ranging from 6,500 to 16,000
square feet
Density: 2.1 homes per acre
Open space: 33-acres (39% of site)
Open space: 33-acres (39% of site)

General Plan Designations
The Your Voice Our Future General Plan Map (Attachment 5)
designates the property as Medium Density Residential (MDR).
Medium Density Residential (MDR, 2.1-5.0 DU/AC): This land use
designation represents areas where single-family home,
townhouse or patio home development is appropriate. The lot
sizes in this land use designation allow for setbacks between
individual homes (detached) or common walls between individual
homes (attached). These areas should be located close to
schools, shopping, and employment.
Zoning Designations
The Zoning Map (Attachment 4) shows that the property is zoned
R1-20 (1 home per 20,000 square feet of land) and R1-144 (1 home
per 144,000 square feet of land).
R1-20 Single-Family Residential District: This district provides for
low-density detached single-family residential development.
R1-144 Single-Family Residential District: This district is intended
to promote and preserve suburban-rural single-family residential
development. The large lot size permits agricultural uses and
promotes open space.
B. PROPOSED REZONING
The applicant proposes to rezone an 85.2-acre site from R1-20 and
R1-144 to R1-7. The Tentative Development Plan (Attachment 6)
depicts:
178 lots with a minimum lot size ranging from 6,500 to 16,000
square feet
6,500 sf (103 lots)
7,000 sf (64 lots)
16,000 sf (11 lots)
Density: 2.1 homes per acre
Use: Detached single-family homes
Building height: 25’, two-story
Open space: 33-acres (39% of site)
Passive and active recreation areas, including pedestrian trails
3 access points: Glover Road (north), La Cholla Blvd (east) and
Naranja drive (south)
Rezoning Analysis
The applicant’s request has been reviewed for conformance with the
Zoning Code and the Your Voice Our Future General Plan. A
discussion of the application’s conformance with each of these items is
provided below.
R1-7 Zoning District Conformance
The proposed Tentative Development Plan (TDP) conforms to the
development standards of the R1-7 zoning district. Please note,
additional zoning standards will be addressed during the Final Site
Plan review process. The following development standards are notable
for this proposal:
Minimum Lot Size: The minimum lot size is 7,000 square feet. The
proposed TDP conforms to this standard by utilizing the
conservation subdivision design lot reduction incentive provided
under ESL. This incentive is discussed in greater detail under the
ESL Flexible Design Option section below.
Building Heights: Building height is limited to twenty-five (25’) feet,
two-stories in the R1-7 zoning district. It is worth noting that there
are no existing homes immediately west of the project site,
therefore, the proposed building height of twenty-five (25’) feet,
two-stories will not impact any existing views of the Catalina
Mountains to the east.
Access and Circulation: The property is accessed by three
driveways 1) Glover Road (north) 2) La Cholla Blvd (east) and 3)
driveways 1) Glover Road (north) 2) La Cholla Blvd (east) and 3)
Naranja drive (south). The proposed entrances meet driveway
spacing requirements and have been approved by the Town
Engineer. Additionally, the proposed TDP incorporates trails and
pathways throughout the design and connects to larger regional
trails in the surrounding area. To ensure sufficient infrastructure,
several rezoning conditions from the previously approved
rezoning case for this property have been added to Attachment 1.
These conditions relate to roadway dedication and improvements,
cost sharing, and water utility infrastructure.
Neighborhood Compatibility: The property is located in proximity
to two schools and rural and suburban size lots (e.g., 6,600
square feet to 3.3-plus acres). Rezoning this site to R1-7 requires
sensitivity to the existing context by using design and mitigation
techniques to improve compatibility. To ensure compatibility with
the surrounding uses, the applicant proposes the following
measures:
Placing larger lots (e.g., 16,000 square feet) along the
northern and eastern property lines where the adjacent
subdivisions contain 3.3-acres and 10,000 square foot lots,
respectively.
Using the existing wash along the west property line as a
150’-plus wide natural buffer between the proposed
development and future large lot subdivision (Saguaros
Viejos Phase 1) to the west.
Installing internal sidewalks to provide pedestrian connectivity
to nearby schools, sidewalks, and multi-use paths.
ESL Flexible Design Option
The Environmentally Sensitive Lands (ESL) requirements enable the
use of incentives, or flexible design options, subject to Town Council
approval. The flexible design options are available to property owners
when open space is applied to at least twenty-five (25%) or more of
the property. The applicant has provided thirty-nine (39%) open space
allowing them to request these options. The following flexible design
options requested by the applicant are shown below, followed by staff
commentary.
Smaller building setbacks: Reduce the side setbacks from seven
and a half (7.5’) feet to no less than five (5’) feet, and the front
setbacks from twenty (20’) feet to no less than fifteen (15’) feet,
provided that it does not result in an on-lot driveway less than
twenty (20’) feet in length.
Staff Commentary: The proposed setback reductions is a
reasonable request because it would allow a more varied and
attractive streetscape, while maintaining a sufficient driveway
length for on-lot parking.
Lot size and width reductions: Reduce the minimum lot size from
7,000 square feet to 6,500 square feet, and the minimum lot width
from seventy (70’) feet to fifty (50’) feet for the 103 of 178 lots.
Staff Commentary: The ESL regulations provide a lot
reduction incentive for applicants who choose to employ a
conservation subdivision design. The incentive allows for a
reduction to 5,500 square feet in the R1-7 zoning district with
a concomitant lot width reduction. The TDP (Attachment 6)
proposes a lot reduction (e.g., 6,500 square foot lots and 50’
wide) for 103 lots of the 178 lots. This is a reasonable
request because it allows the proposed residential
development to meet the conservation objectives outlined in
ESL, which seeks to protect critical resource areas (e.g.,
existing washes) while achieving base zoning densities
through the use of flexible design options.
Environmentally Sensitive Lands (ESL)
Conservation Categories (Biologically Based): The subject
property is designated Critical Resource Area (CRA) and
Resource Management Area (RMA) Tier 2 on the ESL Planning
Map. The property is traversed with two wash corridors, which are
designated CRA and must be conserved at 95% open space. The
remainder of the property is categorized as Resource
Management Area (RMA) Tier 2, requiring a conservation of at
least 25% open space. The proposed TDP conserves 95% of the
CRA and 25% of the RMA.
There are numerous significant saguaros on this site, which
qualify as important individual specimens and ESL Core
Resources. All large saguaros (24’ or taller with two or more
arms) shown on the Tentative Development are to be
preserved in place.
Conservation Categories (Non-biologically Based): The applicant
has submitted a letter from the Arizona State Museum (ASM)
indicating that the property has been surveyed and no cultural
resources have been identified on the site.
General Plan Analysis
The applicant’s proposal has been reviewed for conformance with the
Vision, Goals and Policies of the Your Voice Our Future General Plan.
The most notable goals and policies are shown in italics followed by
staff commentary, are discussed below:
General Plan Vision
Oro Valley strives to be a well-managed community that provides
all residents with opportunities for quality living. Oro Valley will
keep its friendly, small-town, neighborly character, while
increasing services, employment and recreation. The Town’s
lifestyle continues to be defined by a strong sense of community,
a high regard for public safety and an extraordinary natural
environment and scenic views.
Staff Commentary: The Vision Statement emphasizes the need to
carefully balance land use decisions which respond to current
conditions, against the long term impacts to the community. The
proposed rezoning to R1-7 conforms with the Vision Statement by
providing housing for employees and students of the adjacent schools
and nearby employment areas, while protecting the existing washes on
the property.
General Plan Goals and Policies
Below is a list of notable Goals and Policies followed by staff
commentary on compliance.
Goal K: The proactive conservation, protection and restoration of
environmentally sensitive lands, natural resource areas and
habitats and lands with high scenic value.
Staff Commentary: The proposed TDP utilizes the Conservation
Subdivision Design incentive which enables front setback and lot size
reductions. These design incentives allow the proposed development
to better conserve the existing washes and create a more
environmentally sensitive site plan design. To further conservation, a
rezoning condition requiring all large saguaros (e.g., 24’ or taller with
two or more arms) shown on the Tentative Development be preserved
in place has been added to Attachment 1. The applicant’s proposal is
in conformance with the General Plan Policy.
Policy SD.2: Protect and provide connections between
contiguous, environmentally sensitive lands within the Town,
including key habitat areas and significant natural resource areas.
Policy SD.8: Encourage development project designs that connect
wildlife habitat areas, avoid disturbing significant wildlife habitats
and minimize the overall impacts on wildlife habitat areas.
Staff Commentary: The applicant’s proposal seeks to protect the two
existing washes on the property. The proposed TDP meets the ESL
regulations by conserving ninety five (95%) percent of the Critical
Resource Areas (wash corridors/wildlife habitat), and twenty five (25%)
percent of the Resource Management Area (balance of the property) in
natural open space. The preservation of these washes will allow
animals to move from one wildlife corridor to another. The applicant’s
proposal is in conformance with the General Plan Policy.
LU.5. Provide diverse land uses that meet the Town's overall
needs and effectively transition in scale and density adjacent to
neighborhoods.
Staff Commentary: The proposed subdivision design and density (2.1
homes per acre) are similar to the single-family neighborhoods to the
east (1.7 and 2.64 homes per acre) and south (2.47 homes per acre),
therefore, the proposed rezoning will not alter the existing development
character and transitions.
Engineering Comments
Drainage: The proposed rezoning request acknowledges the
development will be designed so post-developed drainage conditions
are consistent with pre-developed conditions in accordance with Town
drainage requirements. Several natural washes affect the subject
property, flowing in a southerly direction through the development. A
preliminary drainage analysis was prepared by the applicant to
determine existing 100-year stormwater runoff values flowing through
each wash, at points entering and exiting the project boundaries.
The drainage system for the project will be designed to ensure, among
other requirements, that all proposed habitable structures adjacent to a
wash will be protected from flooding and erosion. The increase of
runoff resulting from constructed impervious surfaces will be mitigated
by use of detention basins which discharge into the existing
watercourses. The detention basins capture, hold, and release
stormwater in a controlled manner to mimic existing conditions.
Traffic: The proposed development will have three gated entrances,
one each along Glover Road, La Cholla Boulevard and Naranja Drive.
The three access points help distribute incoming and outgoing traffic
around the site which helps to reduce the impact to surrounding
streets. The generation of new traffic from the proposed subdivision
will be similar to other subdivisions of the same size and character,
which is generally low when compared to other higher intensity uses.
Internal streets within this development will be private, gated and
constructed to Town of Oro Valley Subdivision Street Standards.
Off-site improvements will include right-of-way dedication and the
widening of Glover Road along the project frontage by the developer.
Furthermore, construction for the widening of La Cholla Boulevard to
four lanes, as funded by the RTA, is anticipated to begin during the
summer of 2018. These off-site improvements will increase roadway
capacity and safety to accommodate projects such as this one. Public
roadway improvements to be completed by the developer shall be at
their expense and will require approval and a permit issued from the
Town Engineer’s office.
