SUBJECT:
Resolution No. (R)18-21, authorizing and approving an intergovernmental agreement between the Town of Oro
Valley and Pima County regarding payment for the incarceration of municipal prisoners
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The annual intergovernmental agreement with Pima County that permits the Town to house Oro Valley municipal
prisoners in the Pima County jail is up for renewal as of June 30, 2018. Payment for incarceration of municipal
prisoners in county jails is necessary because of a state law passed in 1989 mandating that cities and towns pay
for this service.
Pima County has set the incarceration fees for FY 2018/19 as follows: $324.98 to cover booking and intake
expenditures and prisoner housing for the first day, and $99.79 per subsequent day for each prisoner. The initial
day amount has increased by $9.80, and the cost for each additional day has increased by $4.85. The alternative
is for the Town to house its own municipal prisoners, which would be cost prohibitive.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
N/A
FISCAL IMPACT:
The FY 2018/19 Custody of Prisoners budget has been adopted in the amount of $150,000, and it is anticipated
that this will be sufficient budget capacity even with the projected prisoner housing costs outlined above.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
I MOVE to APPROVE Resolution No. (R)18-21, authorizing and approving an intergovernmental agreement
between the Town of Oro Valley and Pima County regarding payment for the incarceration of municipal prisoners.

Information
SUBJECT:
Resolution No. (R)18-22, approving an assignment agreement for the Mercado Del Rio River Walk Trailhead,
located on the western lot in the Mercado Del Rio Commercial Center, near the northwest corner of Oracle Road
and Pusch View Lane
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of this administrative action to ensure the Town-owned trailhead improvements and
ongoing maintenance.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The purpose of this request is to consider the proposed assignment agreement (Attachment 1) for donating funds
and establishing ongoing maintenance responsibilities and future improvements of the Mercado Del Rio River
Walk Trailhead. This is being done so the applicant can fulfill conditions of the Final Plat dedication. The trailhead
is located on the western block of the Mercado Del Rio Commercial Center, near the northwest corner of Oracle
Road and Push View Lane (Attachment 2).
The Final Plat for the commercial center (approved in 2005) dedicated the trailhead property to the Town of Oro
Valley and required the applicant to develop the trailhead once Lot 5 was developed or the portion of the
multi-use path connecting to the trailhead was completed, whichever occurred first.
The required improvements to the trailhead have been completed by the applicant, except for installing a drinking
fountain. However, the applicant is proposing to donate funds to the Town for installing a water fountain and water
meter in the future. Details of this donation and stipulations for ongoing maintenance and improvements are
established in the assignment agreement for the trailhead. Notable items include:
Donation of funds to the Town for the purchase of a water fountain and installation of a water meter
Maintenance of all landscaping at the trailhead until plants reach maturity (5 years)
Installation of a water line (see Attachment 2), from the future Lot 4 development to the edge of the
trailhead property
Access to the trailhead through the parking area of Lot 4
Staff finds the applicant has fulfilled their obligations as stipulated on the approved Final Plat and Development
Plan and therefore recommends approval.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
BACKGROUND
Prior approval include the following:
2004- Development Plan approved by Town Council
2005- Final Plat approved by Town Council
2009- Lot 5 development plan approved
2018- Improvement plans for the trailhead approved by Town staff
The Mercado Del Rio River Walk Trailhead is located on the western block of the Mercado Del Rio Commercial
Center (Attachment 2). The trailhead connects to the Cañada Del Oro multi-use path and was dedicated to the
Town in 2004, through the Final Plat. The Final Plat also required the applicant to develop the trailhead once Lot
5 was developed or the portion of the multi-use path connecting to the trailhead was completed.
The following improvements were included on the approved Mercado Del Rio Development Plan.
Access from Vuelta Caminita Del Rio to the trailhead
Paved parking area
Future connection to the multi-use path
Benches, refuse and a drinking fountain
DISCUSSION
The Mercado Del Rio Property Owners Association have completed the aforementioned improvements, except
for installation of the drinking fountain. Currently, there is not an accessible water line available to support the
fountain as Lot 4 is vacant, which was assumed to be developed prior to the trailhead being developed.
As such, the applicant is proposing to donate funds to the Town for installing a water fountain and water meter in
the future, once Lot 4 is developed. Details of this donation and stipulations for ongoing maintenance
and improvements are established in the assignment agreement for the trailhead. Notable items include:
Donation of funds to the Town for the purchase of a water fountain and installation of a water meter
Maintenance of all landscaping at the trailhead until plants reach maturity (5 years)
Installation of a water line (see Attachment 2), from the future Lot 4 development to the edge of the
trailhead property
Access to the trailhead through the parking area of Lot 4
Staff finds the applicant has fulfilled their obligations as stipulated on the approved Final Plat and Development
Plan and therefore recommends approval.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Installation of a water line and ongoing maintenance of the trailhead will be the responsibility of the Town. This
agreement offsets those costs by the property owner providing funds for the drinking fountain, a water
meter and maintenance of the trailhead landscaping until plant maturity (five years).
SUGGESTED MOTION:
I MOVE to APPROVE Resolution No. (R)18-22, approving the assignment agreement for donating funds and
establishing ongoing maintenance responsibilities and future improvements for the Mercado Del Rio Trailhead.
OR
I MOVE to DENY Resolution No. (R)18-22, approving the assignment agreement for donating funds and
establishing ongoing maintenance responsibilities and future improvements for the Mercado Del Rio Trailhead,

SUBJECT:
Resolution No. (R)18-24, approving a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for fiscal years 2018/19 and
2019/20 between the Town of Oro Valley and the Public Safety Employee Group
RECOMMENDATION:
Both the Management Negotiating Committee (MNC) and the Public Safety Negotiating Committee (PSNC)
recommend adoption of the proposed MOU for fiscal years 2018/19 and 2019/20.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Presented herein is a MOU between the Town and the Town's Public Safety Employee Group that has been
mutually agreed upon and signed by members of both negotiating groups. The MNC and PSNC met on several
occasions over the past six months to discuss the working conditions, wages and benefits provided by the Town.
The meetings were productive and the discussions resulted in the proposed MOU which addresses both
the concerns of the Town and the Public Safety Employees.
Substantive changes from the current MOU include increasing the sick leave payout to 100% for spouses and
dependents of officers who die while performing police duties; adjusting the cost share paid by the Town from
80% to 75% for members' dependent medical and dental insurance premiums in FY 2019/2020; and the
discontinuation of permitting non-employees, or retirees, to participate on the Town's self-funded insurance plan,
effective January 1, 2025, in which these individuals would need to utilize the State of Arizona PPO health
insurance plan intended for retirees; and continuation of steps at the current MOU rates. Please note the Town
will make these changes applicable to all employees as part of our policy updates in the near future.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
In 2004, the Town Council adopted Ordinance No. (O)04-28, which established a "Meet and Confer" process for
public safety employees. This ordinance was modified in November 2005 by Ordinance No. (O)05-44, which
refined and clarified some of the language in the original ordinance. On March 3, 2014, the Town Council
approved a modification of the ordinance by removing civilian positions from Town Code Chapter 4, Section 4-1-8
through Ordinance No. (O)14-03. This MOU marks the fourth time that the Town and the Public Safety Employee
Group have mutually agreed to a multi-year MOU.
The MOU and its related attachments were developed by the Public Safety Negotiating Committee (PSNC) and
the Management Negotiating Committee (MNC) after a series of meetings over the past few months. Both parties
are in agreement as to the terms and conditions that are contained herein.
The PSNC's representation is determined by eligible employees within the Police Department and includes police
officers with a rank of sergeant and below, as well as bailiffs. The following members of the Police Department
negotiated the MOU on behalf of the Public Safety Employee Group:
Marshall Morris, Sergeant
Kevin Mattocks, Officer
Zach Young, Sergeant
Zach Young, Sergeant
Zach Pierce, Sergeant
The MNC membership was assigned by the Town Manager and includes the following employees:
Chris Cornelison, Assistant to the Town Manager
Gary M. Bridget, Human Resources Director
Kara Riley, Police Commander
Mark Neihart, Procurement Administrator
The MNC negotiated with concurrence and guidance from the Town Manager, Finance Director, Police Chief, and
Town Attorney.
Compared to the current MOU (FY 2016/18) the following substantive changes were agreed to in the proposed
MOU for fiscal years 2018/20:
It was agreed that STEP promotions for the Public Safety Employee Group will continue for fiscal
years 2018/19 and 2019/20 at the same rates as the current MOU for employees rated as "Successful" or
"Outstanding" on the annual performance evaluation.
1.
Beginning the second fiscal year of the proposed MOU (FY 2019/20), the MNC and PSNC agreed to
reduce the additional monthly premium cost for members’ dependent medical and dental insurance
premium to be paid by Town from no less than eighty percent (80%) to no less than seventy-five percent
(75%) of the additional monthly premium cost for members’ dependent medical insurance premium to be
paid by Town.
2.
Increasing the sick leave payout to 100% for spouses and dependents of officers who die while performing
police duties; adjusting the cost share paid by the Town from 80% to 75% for members' dependent
medical and dental insurance premiums in FY 2019/2020
3.
Discontinuation of permitting non-employees, or retirees, to participate on the Town's self-funded insurance
plan, effective January 1, 2025, in which these individuals would need to utilize the State of Arizona PPO
health insurance plan intended for retirees.
4.
Please note the Town will make the benefits and retirement changes applicable to all employees as part of our
policy updates in the near future.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The estimated cost impact of continuing to fund steps over the next two years is approximately $140,000 per year,
or $280,000 for the total 2 years. The estimated savings to the Town for lowering the dependent coverage from
80% to 75% on a town-wide basis is approximately $110,000 in FY 2019/20.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
I MOVE to APPROVE Resolution No. (R)18-24, adopting a Memorandum of Understanding between the Town of
Oro Valley and the Public Safety Employee Group for fiscal years 2018/19 and 2019/20.

Town Council Regular Session I.
Meeting Date:06/06/2018
Requested by: Stacey Lemos Submitted By:Stacey Lemos, Finance
Department:Finance
Information
SUBJECT:
Resolution No. (R)18-25, adopting and approving updates to the Financial and Investment Policies of the Town of
Oro Valley
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The purpose of this item is to submit for review, consideration and adoption by the Town Council, a resolution
approving and adopting proposed updates to the financial policies and investment policy for the Town of Oro
Valley. The updates to the financial policies are necessary to reflect current Town practices with regard to
dedicating funding specifically toward capital projects, asset maintenance and paying down the Town's unfunded
Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS) liability. The updates to the investment policy are necessary
to reflect best practices recommended by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) and to add
corporate notes and negotiable CDs to the list of suitable investments to provide more flexibility and diversity in
the Town's investment portfolio.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
From time to time, it is necessary to review and update the Town's financial and investment policies to incorporate
best practices and modernize the language to reflect current business practices and philosophy. The Town's
financial policies were last updated in 2015, and the Town's investment policy was last updated in 2010. Staff is
recommending the following minor language updates to the Town's financial policies (see Exhibit A with
redlines attached):
Section C.2. Capital Improvement Program - language has been updated to reflect the preparation of a
minimum 10-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) from a five-year program. Also added is language
dedicating an annual minimum funding level of at least 5% of the Town's estimated excise tax
collections for future capital needs. The intent of this provision is to establish a sustainable,
predictable funding source for future capital needs and asset maintenance within the Town's Capital Fund.
Section C.3. Fund Balance Reserve Policies - language has been added to further clarify the practice of
maintaining a minimum 25% reserve balance in the General Fund, with any excess surplus amounts over
this minimum threshold allocated between capital project funding in the Capital Fund and reducing the
Town's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS) unfunded pension liability.
The above recommended changes to the financial policies reflect the initiatives included in the FY
2018/19 Adopted Budget aimed at providing sustainable funding for the Town's capital needs and addressing the
goal of reducing the Town's unfunded PSPRS pension liability currently estimated at $21 million.
Further, staff is recommending minor language updates to the Town's investment policy (see Exhibit B with
redlines attached) to follow GFOA best practices, reorganizing the location of the paragraphs discussing credit
risk and interest rate risk under Section 2- Objective, and including corporate notes and negotiable CDs as
additional suitable investments under Section 6 - Investment Types to provide flexibility and broader diversification
in the Town's investment portfolio. The attached updates to this policy were provided by the Town's investment
portfolio advisors, PFM Asset Management.
These recommended policy changes will provide for the future financial stability of the Town's capital program
and added diversity in the Town's investment portfolio.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The recommended updates to the Town's financial policies will ensure dedicated, sustainable funding for the
Town's future capital needs with the allocation of a minimum of 5% of the Town's excise taxes for this purpose
along with any one-time, surplus amounts over the 25% contingency reserve threshold. The estimated excise tax
collections for FY 2018/19 are $21 million, therefore, a minimum 5% allocation totals approximately $1 million for
FY 18/19. This amount, combined with the one-time surplus funds over the 25% reserve threshold, amounted to
just over $3.5 million dedicated to funding current and future capital needs in the Capital Fund for FY 2018/19.
Additionally, broadening the Town's options in its investment portfolio through the updates to the investment
policy allows for greater diversity, flexibility and opportunity for safe yield growth.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
I MOVE to APPROVE Resolution No. (R)18-25, adopting and approving updates to the Financial and Investment
Policies of the Town of Oro Valley.

Financial and Budgetary Policies
The Town of Oro Valley has an important responsibility to its residents to carefully account for
public funds, manage its finances prudently and plan for the adequate funding of services
desired by the public. Sound financial policies help to ensure the Town’s capability to
adequately fund and provide the government services desired by the community. The policies
contained herein are designed to foster and support the continued financial strength and
stability of the Town of Oro Valley. Following these policies enhances the Town’s financial
health as well as its image and reputation with residents, the general public, bond and credit
rating agencies and investors. The policies serve as guidelines for the Town’s overall fiscal
planning and management. In addition, both the Government Finance Officers Association
(GFOA) and the National Advisory Council on State and Local Budgeting (NACSLB)
recommend formal adoption of financial policies by the jurisdiction’s governing board. The most
recent Town Council amendment and readoption of the policies occurred on June 17, 2015 per
Resolution (R)15-50.
A. Financial Planning Policies
A.1 Balanced Budgeting and Fiscal Planning Policies
Fiscal planning is the process of identifying resources and allocating those resources among
multiple and competing needs. The primary vehicle for this planning is the preparation,
monitoring and analysis of the Town’s budget.
The Town shall develop an annual budget whereby recurring Town revenues shall be sufficient
to support recurring operating expenditures with no use of General Fund contingency to support
ongoing operational expenses.
The Town’s annual budget will include contingency appropriation to provide for unanticipated
increases in service delivery costs, emergencies, and needs that may arise through the fiscal
year. The contingency appropriation may only be expended upon Council approval.
Budget development will use strategic multi-year fiscal planning; conservative revenue forecasts
and a program/performance based budgeting method. This method requires each department to
establish fiscal year goals and objectives that will be evaluated to determine the effectiveness
and efficiency of both department and Town resources. Utilization of a program/performance
budget format will provide a basis for evaluation of service and other impacts of potential
increases or decreases in funding.
Monthly budget to actual revenue and expenditure reports will be prepared for all Town funds by
the Finance Department and presented to Town Council. The reports will also include revenue
and expenditure projections through the end of the fiscal year.
The Town will not use one-time (non-recurring) revenues to fund continuing (recurring) uses, or
use external borrowing for operational requirements. The budget will incorporate the best
available estimates of revenues and expenditures.
All budgetary appropriations that have not been expended or lawfully encumbered shall lapse at
the end of the fiscal year, June 30th. Appropriations for capital projects in progress at fiscal year-
end shall be made for the subsequent fiscal year.
EXHIBIT A
The Town shall work to minimize the financial burden on its taxpayers by routinely evaluating
both its administrative and direct service delivery systems in terms of efficiency, effectiveness
and responsiveness. Technology shall be utilized when feasible to increase efficiency and cost-
effectiveness.
Any fiscal year-end special revenue fund balance amounts in other special revenue funds of the
Town shall be maintained, preserved separately, and carried forward within those funds and not
considered as part of the contingency reserve requirement for the Town’s General Fund.
The Town’s annual budget shall be adopted by the Town Council at the fund level, except in the
General Fund, where it shall be adopted at the department level. To provide sufficient control
and accountability, budgets shall be prepared and monitored by major expenditure categories
(personnel, operations and maintenance, capital outlay, debt service). (A fund is a fiscal and
accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts recording cash and other financial
resources).
The Town shall promote the understanding that its employees are its most valuable resource
and shall employ sound management practices when planning for service delivery. The Town is
committed to maintaining and improving the productivity of staff through a pleasant working
environment, appropriate equipment including office automation and computer applications,
necessary training and adequate supplies and materials as resources and adopted policies
permit.
A.2 Long Range Planning
As part of the annual Town budget preparation cycle, the Finance Department shall prepare a
minimum five-year financial forecast of projected revenues and expenditures to measure the
financial sustainability of the Town’s operations and service levels.
A.3 Cash Management & Investment Policy
Cash and investment programs will be maintained in accordance with the Town’s adopted
Investment Policy and will ensure that proper controls and safeguards are maintained. Town
funds are managed with an emphasis of safety of principal, liquidity and financial yield, in that
order.
Bond funds will be segregated from all other funds for arbitrage and accounting purposes.
Ownership of the Town’s investment securities will be protected through third party custodial
safekeeping.
All Town bank accounts shall be reconciled and reviewed on a monthly basis.
The Town will consolidate cash balances from various funds for investment purposes, and will
allocate investment earnings to each participating fund. This will allow the Town to maximize
yields from its overall portfolio.
Investment performance will be reviewed and reported on as outlined in the current adopted
investment policy.
All treasury activities with financial institutions will be conducted based upon written contracts
between the Town and the respective financial institution(s).
A.4 Asset Inventory
Capital assets are assets with an acquisition cost of $5,000 or more and an estimated useful life
of two or more years. Such assets shall be depreciated in the Town’s financial statements over
their estimated useful lives.
Minor assets are assets with an acquisition cost of $1,000 or more but less than $5,000 and an
estimated useful life of two or more years. Such assets will not be depreciated in the Town’s
financial statements.
Expendable items are machinery and equipment purchases whose cost is less than $1,000.
These items will not be depreciated.
The Town will depreciate capital assets using the straight line depreciation method.
The Town will project equipment and vehicle replacement needs for the next five years and will
update this projection each year. Subject to funding availability, Town departments will be
charged an annual contribution amount to accumulate funds for this purpose based on a portion
of their annual asset depreciation.
The Finance Department shall be responsible for verifying the actual physical existence of
capital and minor assets and the accuracy of the Town’s asset database. The process will be
monitored through asset audits of Town departments and divisions. Any significant irregularities
are reported to the Town Manager.
The Town will maintain capital assets and infrastructure at a sufficient level to protect the
Town’s investment, to minimize future replacement and maintenance costs, and to continue
service levels.
B. Revenue Policies
B.1 Revenue Diversification
The Town will strive for a General Fund revenue base consisting of a balance of sales taxes,
state shared revenues, user fees and other revenue sources.
The Town will maintain a diversified and stable revenue base to protect against short term
fluctuations in any single revenue source and economic changes locally and nationally.
The Town will estimate revenues in a realistic and moderate manner in order to minimize the
risk of a revenue shortfall.
B.2 Fees and Charges
All non-enterprise user fees and charges shall be examined annually to determine the cost
recovery rate. The acceptable recovery rate and any associated changes to user fees and
charges will be approved by Town Council or as otherwise specified in Town code.
Development impact fees for capital expenses attributable to new development will be reviewed
periodically to ensure the fees recover all direct and indirect development related expenses and
be approved by Town Council.
For enterprise fund operations, the Town will establish rates and fees at levels to cover fully the
total direct and indirect costs, including operations, capital outlay, debt service, debt coverage
requirements and unrestricted cash reserve balances. Enterprise funds will not be used to
subsidize the operations of other funds. Interfund charges will be assessed for the
administrative support of the enterprise activity.
B.3 Use of One-Time Revenues
The Town will utilize one-time (non-recurring) revenues to fund one-time operating
expenditures, prepay existing debt, or supplement “pay as you go” capital outlay. One-time
revenues shall not be used to fund recurring expenditures.
B.4 Use of Unpredictable Revenues
If the Town should receive unpredictable revenues from sales tax audits, unbudgeted grant
funding, gifts or donations, the Town shall account for these revenues as one-time revenues.
They shall not be used to fund recurring expenditures.
C. Expenditure Policies
C.1 Debt Capacity, Issuance and Management
The Town will seek to maintain and, if possible, improve its current bond rating in order to
minimize borrowing costs and preserve access to credit. The Town will encourage and maintain
good relations with financial bond rating agencies and will follow a policy of full and open
disclosure.
Future bond issue proposals will be accompanied by an analysis showing how the new issue,
combined with current debt, impacts the Town’s debt capacity and conformance with Town debt
policies.
The general policy of the Town is to fund capital projects with new, dedicated streams of
revenue or voter-approved debt. Non voter-approved debt may be utilized when a dedicated
revenue source other than general revenue can be identified to pay debt service expenditures.
Financing shall not exceed the useful life of the acquired asset.
The Town shall not use long term debt to finance current operations.
The Town will establish debt repayment schedules with fixed annual principal and interest
payments.
Proceeds from bonded debt will be used in accordance with the purpose of the issuance. Funds
remaining after the project is completed will be used in accordance with the provisions stated in
the bond ordinance that authorized the issuance of the debt.
The Town shall comply with the Internal Revenue Service arbitrage rebate requirements for
bonded indebtedness.
Interest earnings on bond proceeds will be limited to 1) funding or acquiring the improvement(s)
or asset(s) or 2) payment of debt service on the bonds.
All projects funded with bonded debt must be included in the Town’s Capital Improvement
Program.
When considering refunding any outstanding bonded debt, the Town will perform a cost benefit
analysis to determine if the cost savings of refunding will be greater than the cost to refund.
Considerations will be made with regard to the existing bond covenants when refunding any
bonded debt.
When utility revenues are pledged as debt service payments, the Town will strive to maintain a
1.3 times debt service coverage ratio to ensure debt coverage in times of revenue fluctuation.
This will be in addition to the required ratio in the bond indenture.
The Town will communicate, and where appropriate, coordinate with all jurisdictions with which
we share a common tax base concerning our collective plans for future debt issues.
The Arizona Constitution limits the Town’s bonded debt capacity (outstanding principal) to a
certain percentage of the Town’s secondary assessed valuation by the type of project to be
constructed. The limit for general purpose municipal projects is 6%. For water, light, sewer,
open space, public safety, park, law enforcement, fire and emergency services, and streets and
transportation facilities projects, the limit is 20%.
C.2 Capital Improvement Program
The purpose of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is to systematically identify, plan,
schedule, finance, track and monitor capital projects to ensure cost effectiveness as well as
conformance to established policies.
A minimum ten-year Capital Improvement Program will be developed and updated annually,
including anticipated funding sources. Capital improvement projects are defined as
infrastructure, equipment purchases or construction which results in or makes improvements to
a capitalized asset costing more than $50,000 and having a useful life of five or more years.
The Capital Improvement Program will include, in addition to estimated operating maintenance
expenditures, adequate funding to support repair and replacement of deteriorating infrastructure
and avoidance of a significant unfunded liability.
Proposed capital projects will be reviewed and prioritized by a cross-departmental team
regarding accurate costing (design, capital and operating) and overall consistency with the
Town’s goals and objectives. Financing sources will then be identified for the projects ranking
the highest based on the established ranking systems and limited monies.
In order for the Town to provide sustainable funding for capital improvements and asset repair
and maintenance needs each year, the annual budget shall include the allocation of a minimum
of 5% of the Town’s estimated excise tax collections to fund these needs, subject to Council
approval and funding availability. These funds will be accounted for in a separate Capital Fund.
Capital improvement lifecycle costs will be coordinated with the development of the operating
budget. Future operating, maintenance and replacement costs associated with new capital
improvements will be forecast, matched to available revenue sources and included in the
operating budget.
The current fiscal year of the Capital Improvement Program will become the capital budget.
Staff will monitor projects to ensure their timely completion or determine if an adjustment to the
Capital Improvement Plan needs to be presented to Council. A quarterly status report will be
presented to the Town Council to monitor each project’s progress and identify any significant
issues.
C.3 Fund Balance Reserve Policies
Fund balance reserves will be established to offset difficult economic times, stabilize fluctuations
in cash flow requirements, provide for emergency situations threatening the public health or
safety and provide for unanticipated increases in service delivery costs, unanticipated declines
in revenues, unforeseen opportunities and contingencies. Use of reserves should be utilized
only after all budget sources have been examined for available funds, and subject to Town
Council approval.
In accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 54, fund
balances will be classified in the following components:
A. Nonspendable Fund Balance:
That portion of a fund balance that includes amounts that cannot be spent because they
are either (a) not in spendable form, suchas prepaid items, supplies inventory or loans
receivable; or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact, such as the
principal portion of an endowment. This category was traditionally reported as a
“reserved” fund balance under the old standard.
B. Restricted Fund Balance:
That portion of a fund balance that reflects constraints placed on the use of resources
(other than nonspendable items) that are either (a) externally imposed by creditors, such
as debt covenants, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments;
or (b) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. This
category was traditionally reported as a “reserved” fund balance under the old standard.
C. Committed Fund Balance:
That portion of a fund balance that includes amounts that can only be used for specific
purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal action of the government’s highest
level of decision making authority, and remain binding unless removed in the same
manner. This category was traditionally reported as a “designated” fund balance under
the old standard.
D. Assigned Fund Balance:
That portion of a fund balance that includes amounts that are constrained by the
government’s intent to be used for specific purposes, but that are neither restricted nor
committed. Such intent needs to be established at either the highest level of decision
making, or by an official designated for that purpose. This category was traditionally
reported as a “designated” fund balance under the old standard.
E. Unassigned Fund Balance:
That portion of a fund balance that includes amounts that do not fall into one of the
above four categories. The General Fund is the only fund that should report this
category of fund balance. This category was traditionally reported as an “undesignated”
fund balance under the old standard.
The Town shall maintain, at a minimum, a fund balance contingency reserve in the General
Fund that represents 25% of the General Fund’s annual expenditures with no use of the
General Fund contingency to support ongoing operational expenditures. This minimum reserve
amount will be incorporated into the General Fund budget adopted by formal action taken by the
Town Council. Accordingly, these reserves will be classified as committed fund balances.Any
excess funds that accumulate over the 25% balance shall be allocated toward capital project
funding and reducing the Town’s Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS) unfunded
liability.
Fund balance reserves may only be appropriated by authorization of the Town Council. A plan
will be developed to adequately replenish reserves when appropriations are projected to reduce
reserves below the required minimum levels.
When multiple categories of fund balance reserves are available for expenditure (for example, a
construction project is being funded partly by a grant, funds set aside by the Town Council and
unassigned fund balance), the Town will start with the most restricted category – spending
those funds first – before moving down to the next category with available funds.
The Water Enterprise Fund shall maintain a cash reserve in the operating fund of not less than
20% of the combined total of the annual budgeted amounts for personnel, operations &
maintenance, and debt service. This cash reserve amount specifically excludes budgeted
amounts for capital projects, depreciation, amortization and contingency. No cash reserve is
required for the water utility impact fee funds.
All Town budgetary fund designations and reserves will be evaluated annually for long-term
adequacy and use requirements in conjunction with development of the Town’s long-term
financial forecast.
C.4 Operating Expenditure Accountability
Expenditures will be controlled as outlined in the approved budget.
Department heads are responsible for monitoring expenditures to prevent exceeding their total
departmental expenditure budget. It is the responsibility of department heads to immediately
notify the Finance Director and Town Manager of any circumstances that could result in a
departmental budget being exceeded.
The Arizona Constitution sets a limit on the expenditures of local jurisdictions. The Town will
comply with these expenditure limitations and will submit an audited expenditure limitation
report, audited financial statements and audited reconciliation report as defined by the Uniform
Expenditure Reporting System to the State Auditor General within prescribed timelines.
Monthly budget to actual revenue and expenditure reports will be prepared, for all Town funds,
by the Finance Department and presented to the Town Council. The reports will also include
revenue and expenditure projections through the end of the fiscal year.
To provide flexibility in the management of departmental budgets for major expenditures
(personnel, operations & maintenance, capital outlay and debt service) the following budget
amendment and transfer provisions shall apply:
A. Transfers between funds shall require the recommendation of the Town Manager
and formal action by the Town Council.
B. Transfers between the line items within each major expenditure category shall be
permitted upon recommendation of the Department Head and approval by the Town
Manager.
C. Transfers between the line items or major expenditure categories to fund additional
personnel or increased expenditures as a result of personnel reclassifications shall
require the recommendation of the Town Manager and formal action by the Town
Council.
D. Transfers between the operations and maintenance and capital outlay major
expenditure categories shall be permitted upon recommendation of the Department
Head and approval by the Town Manager.
E. Transfers that would reduce or eliminate funding for items designated in the adopted
Capital Improvement Program shall require the recommendation of the Town
Manager and approval of the Town Council.
F. Transfers that would reduce or eliminate funding for debt service shall require the
recommendation of the Town Manager and formal Council action.
D. Financial Reporting Policies
The Town’s accounting and financial reporting systems will be maintained in conformance with
all state and federal laws, generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and standards of
the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) and the Government Finance Officers
Association (GFOA).
An annual audit of the Town’s financial statements will be performed by an independent certified
public accounting firm, with an audit opinion to be included with the Town’s published
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR).
The Town’s CAFR will be submitted to the GFOA Certification of Achievement for Excellence in
Financial Reporting Program. The financial report should be in conformity with GAAP,
demonstrate compliance with finance related legal and contractual provisions, disclose
thoroughness and detail sufficiency, and minimize ambiguities and potentials for misleading
inference.
The Town’s budget will be submitted annually to the GFOA Distinguished Budget Presentation
Program. The budget should satisfy criteria as a financial and programmatic policy document,
as a comprehensive financial plan, as an operations guide for all organizational units and as a
communications device for all significant budgetary issues, trends and resource choices.
Financial systems will maintain internal controls to monitor revenues, expenditures and program
performance on an ongoing basis.
TOWN OF ORO VALLEY
INVESTMENT POLICY
Section 1- Scope
Subject to the provisions of any applicable financing document and the
Investment Laws, this investment policy applies to all Town funds which include
the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Capital Project Funds ,Enterprise
Funds and Debt Service Funds. All funds are accounted for in the Town of Oro
Valley's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
Section 2 -Objective
While conforming to federal, state and other legal requirements the primary
objectives, of the Town of Oro Valley investment activities shall be: Safety,
Liquidity and Return. The objective will be to mitigate credit risk and interest
rate risk.
A.Safety
The principal goal of the investment program is the preservation and safety
of the capital of all Town Funds.Each investment transaction shall seek to
first ensure that capital losses are avoided, whether they are from security
defaults or erosion of market value.
B.CreditRisk
The Town will minimize credit risk, which is the risk of loss due to the failure of the
security or backer, by:
∑Limiting investments to the types of securities listed inSection 6 of this investment
policy
∑Pre-qualifying financial institutions ,broker/dealers ,intermediaries, and advisers
with which the Town will do business in accordance with Section 5
∑Diversifying the investment portfolio so that the impact of potential losses from
any one type of security or from any one individual issuer will be minimized
C.Interest Rate Risk
The Town will minimize interest rate risk, which is the risk that the market value of
securities in the portfolio will fall due to changes in market interest rates by:
•Structuring the investment portfolio so that securities mature to meet cash
requirements for ongoing operations, thereby avoiding the need to sell securities
on the open market prior to maturity
•Investing operating funds primarily in shorter-term securities, money market
mutual funds, or similar investment pools limiting the average maturity in the
portfolio inaccordance with this policy
EXHIBIT B
D.Liquidity
The town's investment portfolio shall remain sufficiently liquid inorder to meet
the operating requirements that may be reasonably foreseen.The
investment portfolio should be composed insuch a way that securities mature
concurrent with cash needs to meet required demands .Furthermore, since
all possible cash demand cannot be anticipated, the portfolio should
consist largely of securities with active secondary or resale markets
(dynamic liquidity). Alternatively, a portion of the portfolio may be placed in
money market mutual funds or local government investment pools which
offer same-day liquidity for short-term funds.
E.Return
The town's investment portfolio shall attain the highest rate of return through
budgetary and economic cycles taking into account the constraints imposed
by its safety objectives, cash flow considerations and state laws that restrict
the placement of certain public funds.Return on investment is of secondary
importance compared to the safety and liquidity objectives above. The
investments are limited to relatively low risk securities in anticipation of
earning a fair return relative to the risk being assumed. Securities shall
generally be held until maturity with the following exemptions:
∑A security with declining credit may be sold early to minimize
loss of principal
∑A security swap that would improve the quality, expected return,
or target duration in the portfolio
∑Liquidity needs of the portfolio require that the security be sold
Section 3 -Standard of Care
A. Delegationof Authority
Authority to manage the investment program is granted to the Town Finance
Director/CFO, under the supervision of the Town Manager. Responsibility of the
operation of the daily investment program is delegated to the Finance Director/CFO,
who shall carry out the operation of the investment program consistent with this
investment policy. No employee may engage in an investment transaction except as
provided under the terms of this policy and the procedures established by the Finance
Director/CFO.
B. Prudence
The standard of prudence to be used by the Finance Director/CFO shall be the
"prudent person" standard and shall be applied inthe context of managing the overall
portfolio.The Finance Director/CFO, shall exercise due diligence and not be liable for
losses .The "prudent person" standard with respect to Town Investments shall be the
exercise of judgment and care, with prudence,discretion and intelligence that a person
would exercise in their own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment, considering
the primary objectives set forth in Section 2 of this policy.
C. Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
Employees involved in the investment process should refrain from conducting personal
business activity that could conflict with the proper execution and management of the
investment program, or that could impair their ability to make impartial decisions. Employees
should disclose any material interests in financial institutions with which they conduct
business. They should disclose any personal financial/investment positions that could be

Information
SUBJECT:
PUBLIC HEARING: ORDINANCE NO. (O)18-09, DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING A
REZONING REQUEST FROM R1-144 TO R1-10 FOR A 16.1-ACRE PROPERTY LOCATED NEAR THE
NORTHWEST CORNER OF TANGERINE ROAD AND LA CANADA DRIVE, INCLUDING A REQUEST TO
UTILIZE THE REDUCED LOT WIDTH AND REDUCED BUILDING SETBACK FLEXIBLE DESIGN OPTIONS
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval subject to the conditions listed in Attachment 1. The
Commission, however, was split on the question of primary access to the site (staff Condition of Approval #6) and
did not forward a recommendation on that specific issue.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The purpose of this item is to consider a proposed rezoning for a 16.1-acre property located near the northwest
corner of Tangerine Road and La Cañada Drive (Attachment 2). The applicant's request (Attachment 3) is
to rezone the property from R1-144 to R1-10 to develop a 27-lot residential subdivision and includes a request to
utilize three flexible design options enabled by the Environmentally Sensitive Lands regulations:
Reduced lot widths from 80 to 70 feet1.
Reduced building setbacks
Front from 25 to 20 feeta.
Side from 10 to 7.5 feetb.
Rear from 25 to 20 feetc.
2.
Recreation Area Credit3.
A General Plan Amendment for Medium Density Residential (with a maximum density of 2.5 homes per acre) was
approved for the property in 2014. A density of 1.8 homes per acre is proposed, which is in the Low Density
Residential land use range. The amendment set the stage for a future rezoning of the property to serve as a land
use transition between the more intense commercial and tech park uses to the east and the rural, large-lot
residential to the north and west. Furthermore, an increase in housing density is commonly seen near schools
where there is a desire for households with school-age children to live nearby. The proposed subdivision
is consistent with this trend and represents an appropriate and compatible land use to the adjacent Leman
Academy.
A rezoning application was originally filed in 2015 to enable development of a 37-lot residential subdivision on the
property. The application was ultimately continued at the request of the applicant as there were still a number of
outstanding concerns from the neighbors. The applicant has since worked with the surrounding property owners
and revised the Tentative Development Plan (Attachment 4) to address some of the remaining concerns.
The Tentative Development Plan (TDP) is summarized below with the previous (2015) design details shown in
parenthesis:
Total lots: 27 lots (previously 37 lots)
Density: 1.8 du/ac (2.7 du/ac)
Lot sizes:
Lot sizes:
Western lots: 12,000 sq.ft. (10,000 sq.ft.)
Eastern lots: 10,000 sq. ft. (8,000 sq.ft.)
Single-story building height restriction for all western lots (previously a mix of 1 and 2-story homes
throughout the subdivision)
The applicant’s site plan also includes:
Restoration of approximately 1.2-acres of previously disturbed Critical Resource Area (CRA) within the
on-site wash. A condition has been included in Attachment 1 regarding the zoning code required restoration.
6.6-acres of open space with enhanced buffer yards along the west and north boundaries
Two access points
Primary access via the existing commercial center east of the property
Emergency access to Sunkist Road north of the property
Staff does not support the current configuration for access to the site. As noted above, the primary access
is proposed through the commercial center to the east. Both the Town Engineer and Police Chief do not support
this configuration as it presents several issues. Most importantly, access through the commercial center will
be impacted when the Leman Academy School completes their phase 2 expansion, something that is expected to
double the current population of the school, and the associated increases in traffic. As future
development occurs in the commercial area south of the school, traffic within the center will become more
congested further impacting the proposed primary access. As such, staff has included a condition in Attachment 1
to require the primary access be located on Sunkist Road.
The Planning and Zoning Commission considered the applicant's request at a public hearing on May 1, 2018. A
majority of the discussion focused on the appropriate location for the primary access to the site, either through the
existing commercial center to the east or from Sunkist Road to the north. Neighbors, specifically those along
Sunkist Road, expressed concern regarding primary access on Sunkist Road and the associated increase in
traffic. The Town Engineer responded by detailing the reasons for staffs recommendation for access on Sunkist
Road. Key points are as follows:
Sunkist Road is a public right-of-way and is open to vehicular traffic today.
A connection to Sunkist Road from La Cañada Drive through the La Cañada Ridge residential subdivision
has recently been constructed. This proposal entails extending the existing Sunkist Road pavement by
approximately 500 feet.
With the establishment of Leman Academy and their proposed expansion, traffic will continue to increase
on Sunkist Road with or without primary subdivision access.
Mixing primary subdivision traffic with the adjacent school and commercial center traffic represents a
potential traffic safety concern.
Ultimately, the Commission was split on this question and forwarded their recommendation of
conditional approval for the project (subject to the conditions in Attachment 1) without a recommendation on the
access question.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
A. BACKGROUND

Open Space 6.5 acres (40%)6.6 acres (40%)
B. GENERAL PLAN CONFORMANCE ANALYSIS
Rezoning applications are reviewed for conformance with the Your Voice, Our Future General Plan Land Use
map, vision, guiding principals, goals and policies. The proposed rezoning is consistent the General Plan as it is
within the allowed density range and will provide a land use transition between the school and tech park use to
the east and large-lot residential uses to the west and north. Furthermore, it provides environmental
conservation/restoration and nearby housing for employees within the adjacent technology park and other nearby
employment areas. In summary, it supports the socio-economic goals expressed in the General Plan. Additional
detail is provided in Attachment 6.
C. ZONING CODE CONFORMANCE ANALYSIS
The applicant's proposal is in conformance with all applicable Zoning Code standards. The applicant's Tentative
Development Plan primarily conforms to the development standards of the R1-10 zoning district, with the
exception of the requested Flexible Design Options. The following standards are notable for this proposal:
Site Access: The Tentative Development Plan (TDP) includes two proposed access points. The primary
access is proposed through the existing commercial center to the east with a secondary, emergency
access proposed on Sunkist Road. Staff has concerns regarding the primary access through the existing
commercial center, specifically as it relates to future traffic congestion within the center, and a condition has
been included in Attachment 1 to require the primary access point be on Sunkist Road
Primary access on Sunkist Road represents a safer, more efficient configuration than the proposed access
through the school/commercial center to the east for the following reasons:
Sunkist Road is a public right-of-way and is open to vehicular traffic today;
A connection to Sunkist Road from La Cañada Drive through the La Cañada Ridge residential
subdivision has recently been constructed. This proposal entails extending the existing Sunkist Road
pavement by approximately 500 feet.
With the establishment of Leman Academy and their proposed expansion, traffic will continue to
increase on Sunkist Road with or without primary subdivision access.
Mixing primary subdivision traffic with the adjacent school and commercial center traffic represents a
potential traffic safety concern.
Building Height: Building heights are limited to twenty-five feet (25’) and 2-stories. The applicant has agreed
to limit the homes on the western boundary (nearest the existing large-lot residential to the west) to
single-story.
Neighborhood Compatibility: The proposed R1-10 zoning is in compliance with the Medium Density
Residential designation on the General Plan Map and would serve as an appropriate land use transition
from lower intensity residential land uses to the west, and the school and future commercial/technology
park land uses to the east.
The proposed site design includes larger 12,000 sq. ft. lots abutting rural (3-acre) lots to the west, and
smaller lots (10,000 sq. ft.) abutting open space and a future technology park to the east. This helps serve
as a transition to the lower densities to the north and west. Furthermore, the proposed density is more in
line with the density range of the Low Density Residential land use designation.
Open Space: The proposed rezoning preserves 6.6 - acres of open space (approximately 40% of the site)
including restoring 1.2 - acres of previously disturbed wash area designated as Critical Resource Areas. A
condition has been included in Attachment 1 regarding the required restoration.
Environmentally Sensitive Lands (ESL)
Environmentally Sensitive Open Space (ESOS)
The subject property has two mapped Environmentally Sensitive Lands conservation categories: Critical Resource
Area and Resource Management Area Tier 2.
The riparian area traversing the larger Miller Ranch site, which serves as the eastern boundary of the subject
property, is designated as Critical Resource Area (CRA). The proposed rezoning conserves approximately 95% of
this area, consistent with the minimum requirement in the Zoning Code.
The remainder of the site is designated Resource Management Area Tier 2 and requires twenty-five (25%)
percent conservation. In combination with a proposed wash restoration credit of 1.2 - acres, the project conserves
twenty-five (25%) percent of this conservation category as ESOS.
Flexible Design Options
The Environmentally Sensitive Lands requirements enable the use of incentives for conservation, or
cluster subdivision design. These incentives, known as flexible design options are designed to encourage the
preservation of additional natural open space while ensuring the applicant is able to develop the same number of
lots as permitted under the base zoning district. The flexible design options are available to property when
Environmentally Sensitive Open Space (ESOS) is conserved on twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the
property. The applicant’s proposal provides approximately forty percent (40%) ESOS and has requested the use
of the following flexible design options which require Town Council approval:
Lot width reduction: The applicant has requested a lot width reduction from 80 feet (minimum required in
the R1-10 zoning district) to 70 feet. A reduced lot width again helps to create the smaller footprint of the
conservation subdivision design and results in the conservation of more contiguous open space. Staff
supports the applicant's request for a reduced lot width.
1.
Building setback reduction: The applicant has requested a reduction in the required building setbacks to
correspond with the request for a reduced lot width. The request is as follows:
Front from 25 feet to 20 feeta.
Side from 10 feet to 7.5 feetb.
Rear from 25 feet to 20 feetc.
2.
When lot widths or sizes are reduced to foster a cluster style development, a reduction in the code required
setbacks is necessary to maintain a useable building area on each lot. Further, a minimum of 20' shall be
required for all driveways to ensure sufficient parking space is provided. As such, Staff supports the
applicant's request for a building setback reduction.
The following flexible design option has been requested by the applicant and does not require Town Council
approval. As such, the request has been approved by the Planning and Zoning Administrator.
Recreation Area credit: The applicant is requesting the recreation area (approximately 1 - acre) be credited1.
toward the required Environmentally Sensitive Open Space (ESOS) for the site. A credit for passive and
active recreation areas are permitted when uses are compatible with ESOS requirements. The permitted
recreation uses include, among others, natural trails, benches, open air ramadas, horseshoe pits and other
similar uses with impervious surfaces.
D. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
Public notice has been provided:
Notification of all property owners within 600 feet and extended area to include those residents notified
during the prior General Plan Amendment application
Homeowners Association mailing
Advertisement in The Daily Territorial newspaper
Post on property
Post at Town Hall and on website
Neighborhood Meetings
Numerous neighborhood meetings have been held regarding the subject property, including this application and
the previous General Plan Amendment and rezoning applications. A total of five neighborhood meetings have
been held in addition to numerous informal meetings with neighbors to discuss their concerns.
With this application, only one neighborhood meeting was held as there were no new issues or concerns raised
regarding the proposed plan. This proposal has less of an impact than the previously proposed versions
and discussion at the neighborhood meeting focused on the same issues raised relative to previous applications,
namely lot size transition, view impacts, access and changing the character of the area. As such, it was
determined that additional formal and larger scale neighborhood meetings were not likely to be productive. A copy
of the neighborhood meeting summary notes are included as Attachment 7.
Since the meeting, the applicant has met one-on-one with a number of adjacent property owners to revise the
plan and address some of their concerns, including view impacts and the total number of lots. Several letters of
support and protest from neighbors are included in Attachment 8 and 9.
Planning and Zoning Commission Hearing
The Planning and Zoning Commission considered the applicant's proposal at a public hearing on May 1, 2018.
The meeting was well attended and discussion primarily focused on the future access to the subdivision.
Ultimately, the Commission recommended conditional approval of the proposed rezoning, subject to the
conditions listed in Attachment 1, with one exception. The Commission was split on the primary access question
regarding Staff Condition 6 and did not forward a recommendation on that specific issue. A summary of the
meeting discussion is provided below.
Several neighbors, mainly those located along Sunkist Road, expressed concern over the anticipated increase in
traffic should the primary access be located on Sunkist Road.
The Town Engineer responded by detailing the reasons for staffs recommendation to require primary access be
located on Sunkist Road as follows:
Sunkist Road is a public right-of-way and is open to vehicular traffic today;
A connection to Sunkist Road from La Cañada Drive through the La Cañada Ridge residential subdivision
has recently been constructed. This proposal entails extending the existing pavement by approximately 500
feet.
With the establishment of Lehman Academy and their proposed expansion, traffic will continue to increase
on Sunkist Road with or without primary subdivision access.
Mixing primary subdivision traffic with the adjacent school and commercial center traffic represents a
potential traffic safety concern.
Ultimately, the Commission was split on this question and forwarded their recommendation of
conditional approval for the project (subject to the conditions in Attachment 1) without a recommendation on the
access question.
The staff report and draft meeting minutes are provided in Attachments 10 and 11 respectively.
E. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
In summary, there are a number of key factors regarding the proposed rezoning. Those factors include:
The prior Major General Plan Amendment was approved for Medium Density Residential which set
the framework for a future rezoning
1.
The project density is less than the maximum density approved as part of the General Plan Amendment. In
fact, the proposed density is more in-line with the Low Density Residential land use designation range.
2.
The design serves as a land use transition between the higher intensity uses to the east and the lower
intensity uses to the west
3.
The applicant has worked with neighbors to minimize impacts including:
Larger lot sizes on the lots nearest existing homes
Single-story building height restrictions on western lots
Reduced the overall number of lots from the previous application from 37 to 27
Incorporated an enhanced buffer yard on both the north and west boundaries to further screen the
future subdivision
4.
Safe and efficient access can be provided by using Sunkist Road, a public street with a paved connection to
La Cañada Dr.
5.
Based on the aforementioned factors, the Planning and Zoning recommends approval of the requested rezoning,
subject to the conditions of approval included in Attachment 1, with one exception. The Commission was evenly
split on the primary access question and did not provide a recommendation on that particular issue.

GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING CODE CONFORMANCE ANALYSIS
General Plan Analysis
Rezoning applications are reviewed for conformance with the Your Voice, Our Future General Plan Land
Use map, vision, guiding principals, goals and policies. A discussion of the applications conformance with
each is provided below.
General Plan Land Use Map
The subject property has a land use designation of Medium Density Residential which permits a range of
2.1 to 5 homes per acre. The Major General Plan Amendment approved in 2014 capped the permitted
density at no more than 2.5 homes per acre. As such, the proposed density of 1.8 homes per acre is
below the maximum allowed and is consistent with the approved land use designation. Developments
less than 2.0 homes per acre are within range of Low Density Residential.
General Plan Vision, Guiding Principals, Goals and Policies
The Your Voice, Our Future General Plan Vision and several applicable Goals and Policies are included
below (in italics) followed by staff commentary.
Vision
"Oro Valley strives to be a well-managed community that provides all residents with opportunities for
quality living. Oro valley will keep it's 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"
Goals and Policies
Goal K: The proactive conservation, protection and restoration of environmentally sensitive
lands, natural resources and habitats and lands with high scenic value
Goal V: Neighborhoods that include access and effective transitions to open space, recreation
and schools and that are supported by shopping and services which meet daily needs
Goal X: Effective transitions between differing land uses and intensities in the community
Policy LU.5: Provide diverse land uses that meet the Town's overall needs and effectively
transition in scale and density to adjacent neighborhoods
Staff Commentary: The proposed rezoning is consistent with the vision statement and the above goals
and policies as it will provide a land use transition from a school and tech park and large lot residential
uses. Furthermore, it provides environmental conservation/restoration and nearby housing for employees
within the adjacent technology park and other nearby employment areas. In sum, it supports the socio -
economic goals expressed in the General Plan. Further, the proposed density and lot sizes within the
subdivision serve as an effective transition between higher intensity uses to the
east and the lower intensity residential to the west.

To Whom It May Concern
Five years ago my family and I moved to our rural property on Limewood Dr.
between La Cholla and La Canada. Our home is just west of the proposed Miller
Ranch residential project sitting on nearly 4 acres. We chose the property
specifically because it is a rural lifestyle within proximity to services. As
development continues to happen around us, we recognize the reality that vacant
land is unlikely to stay vacant as much as we would like it to. We must grow our tax
base to keep taxes competitive and expand services and job opportunities. In fact,
service expansion in this area may bring additional infrastructure into our area like
water and high-speed internet which could improve values in the whole area. Single
family homes transitioning between us and the office parcels is good planning
practice and we have heard of the former renditions calling for multi-family homes.
That high level of density would be very detrimental to our rural lifestyle. We
appreciate the multiple revisions that have been made as the developer has made
clear efforts to reasonably accommodate residential concerns and we support this
proposed development and rezoning.
Sincerely yours,
Robert Smith- Family of 5.

To Whom It May Concern:
I live at 11095 N. Broadstone Drive in the Town of Oro Valley and own two properties in the
neighborhood near the proposed Miller Ranch project at Tangerine Road and La Canada Drive. I would
like to offer my support of the project.
With the development of Leman Academy of Excellence and future additional commercial/business
along Tangerine and La Canada, a single-family residential development along the western edge of the
Miller Ranch property provides a proper and reasonable transition to the larger lot development in Pima
County. The owner of the project has committed to changes intended to make that transition while
preserving the views and sense of place of the larger lots located in the area. Some of the projects
specifics include:
• The overall density of the project is less than 2 homes per acre, which is an appropriate
transition between the commercial developments.
• A commitment to building only single-story homes along the western boundary of the Miller
Ranch project to lessen the project’s impact on my views.
• Proposed larger landscape buffers along the north and west to help mitigation and provide a
transition to lower density homes.
• Larger, mature trees along the west and northern edges in the landscape border outside of the
walls of the Miller Ranch houses to create a visual buffer of the project.
I understand the owner has been meeting with the closest neighbors to the project and I really
appreciate the owner’s willingness to listen to neighbors’ concerns and work with them to come up with
solutions.
I find Oro Valley an incredible place to live. Our city’s ability to continue to grow and develop in a smart
and effective manner will continue to improve our resident’s access to goods and service, our economic
development and our quality of life. I believe the Miller Ranch project is a great example of how this can
be accomplished. Please support this project.
Sincerely,
Ted Maxwell
We own the property at 1450 W. Sunkist Road, and have lived on this property for almost 9 years. We
have seen a lot of changes over the years and understand that some changes are inevitable. Over the
past few years, we have worked with the owners of the Miller Ranch area. They have shown a
willingness to listen to our concerns regarding the many changes being made to the 16 acres to our
south in addition to the newly developed Lehman Academy.
As our family has stated in every meeting, hearing, and opportunity for public comment – we
understand that this property will be developed, but we are adamantly opposed to Sunkist Road being
the primary entrance to this project. We are the closest and most impacted neighbor relative to the
Sunkist Road entrance. We know that the developer has heard our request and has agreed to
accommodate the primary entrance at either La Canada through the Tech Park/Commercial
development or even along Tangerine Rd. It is Town staff making it difficult for the developer to
accomplish that goal. We are absolutely opposed to Sunkist being the primary entrance as we do not
believe it is necessary and it will completely destroy our quality of life.
We have also voiced concerns over the years about adequate buffers along the northern side of the
proposed project. We have requested additional landscaping and have asked for restriction to single-
story homes along the northern edge. The owner/developer has agreed to all of the following requests:
removing the homes at the northern ends of the cul-de-sac, providing a 20-foot landscape buffer,
restricting access to Sunkist to emergency only with no paving, restricting the northern two lots to
single-story homes, and working with us to determine the type and size of landscaping along the
northern edge of this project. In addition, the owner/developer has agreed to increase the landscaping
on the northern end of the Lehman Academy property. While we know some of the residents in the
area are concerned about the density at under 2 residences per acre (albeit on smaller lots due to the
wash area), that is not one of our concerns as long as Sunkist is NOT the primary entrance.
We really appreciate Michael Sarabia and his team working with us to address our concerns. DO NOT
MAKE SUNKIST THE PRIMARY ENTRANCE TO THIS DEVELOPMENT. Our way of life and property value is
at stake here!
Thank you –
Pat and Sarah McGowan

Mr. Spaeth,
Good morning.
Ms. Large and Mr. Sarabia have met with my wife and I twice regarding the Miller Ranch development. We have also
corresponded with Ms. Large via email. We have expressed our privacy issues with them and they were willing to modify
their plans based on our concerns. Specifically, they agreed to only build one-storey homes and agreed to not build any
houses directly in front of our home. I have also attached the latest site plan they sent us.
If you have any questions regarding our meetings with the development team, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Respectfully,

May 21, 2018
Mr. Spaeth, Mr. Laws, Oro Valley Town Council, and Oro Valley Staff,
My name is Chuck Boreson and my property line is diagonal to the NW corner of Miller Ranch
Development.
In reference to the comments made at the May 1, 2018 P&Z meeting, I would be interested to
know if any vehicles, in addition to the 18 exiting daily for an hour, have been considered in
figuring the amount of traffic going in and out on Sunkist Rd. For example, service vehicles
(garbage collection, mail delivery, etc.), and visitors of the residents in the housing
development. Most anyone using Google Maps coming from the west and wanting access to the
Miller Ranch development will be directed to use Sunkist Rd. as the shortest route, or the
longer/slower route would be to go to La Canada and turn back west. Common sense tells me
air quality, lack of law enforcement and an ongoing recent increase in traffic volume should be
considered and studied before adding even more traffic to an unmaintained dirt road.
My comments below are concerns and observations with only one fact included. The fact is
there has already been one roll over accident where a vehicle has been totaled. I know this
because the vehicle went through my fence bordering Sunkist Rd. and the vehicle finally
stopped when it hit a large mesquite tree. I did not see the accident but the driver was very likely
driving unsafely and lost control of the vehicle. As for my observations regularly if not daily,
vehicles are sometimes driving at unsafe speeds and in my estimate in excess of 40-50 mph.
Health concerns including Valley Fever, respiratory conditions etc. are concerns I have because
of the significant increase in dust.
Oro Valley’s General Plan Vision under section B states: “The town’s lifestyle continues to be
defined by a strong sense of community, and a high regard for safety…” The question I have for
the OV staff an Town Council is this. Is there any harm that could come from at least doing an
unbiased study about how the hazardous road situation could mitigated if a road to Sunkist Rd
is opened from Miller Ranch? Allowing even more traffic onto Sunkist Rd. is going to intensify an
existing serious problem. I hope the OV staff and Town Council will consider these comments
and observations and how they could work together with the surrounding community and/or
Pima County to be a part of the solution and not part of the problem of adding more traffic to an
unmaintained dirt road.
I want to thank Mr. Spaeth and Mr. Laws for replying to my emails and reaching out to me.
Thanks for your consideration and time.

Planning & Zoning Commission AGENDA ITEM: 2.
Meeting Date:05/01/2018
Requested by: Bayer Vella, Community and Economic Development
Submitted By:Michael Spaeth, Community and Economic Development
Case Number:OV1800713
SUBJECT:
PUBLIC HEARING: DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING A REZONING REQUEST FROM
R1-144 TO R1-10 FOR A 16.3-ACRE PROPERTY LOCATED NEAR THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF
TANGERINE ROAD AND LA CANADA DRIVE, INCLUDING A REQUEST TO UTILIZE THE REDUCED LOT
WIDTH, REDUCED BUILDING SETBACK AND RECREATION AREA CREDIT FLEXIBLE DESIGN
OPTIONS, OV1800713
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval subject to the conditions listed in Attachment 1.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The purpose of this item is to consider a proposed rezoning for a 16.3-acre property located near the northwest
corner of Tangerine Road and La Cañada Drive (Attachment 2). The applicants request (Attachment 3) is
to rezone the property from R1-144 to R1-10 to develop a 28-lot residential subdivision and includes a request to
utilize three flexible design options enabled by the Environmentally Sensitive Lands regulations:
Reduced lot widths from 80 feet to 70 feet1.
Reduced building setbacks
Front from 25 feet to 20 feeta.
Side from 10 feet to 7.5 feetb.
Rear from 25 feet to 20 feetc.
2.
Recreation Area Credit3.
A General Plan Amendment for Medium Density Residential (with a maximum density of 2.5 homes per acre) was
approved for the property in 2014. The amendment set the stage for a future rezoning of the property to serve as a
land use transition between the more intense commercial and tech park uses to the east and the rural, large-lot
residential to the north and west.
A rezoning application was filed in 2015 to enable development of a 37-lot residential subdivision on the property.
The application was ultimately continued at the request of the applicant as there were still a number of
outstanding concerns from neighbors. The applicant has since worked with the surrounding property owners and
revised the Tentative Development Plan (Attachment 4) to address some of the remaining concerns (see table
below).
Previous (2014)Current (2018)
Total number of lots 37 28
Overall project density 2.7 du/ac 1.8 du/ac
Lot sizes
Western lots 10,000 sq. ft.12,000 sq. ft.
Eastern Lots 8,000 sq. ft.10,000 sq. ft.
Maximum building height
Western lots 25 ft. 1 & 2 stories (per code)1 - story
Eastern Lots 25 ft. 1 & 2 stories (per code)25 ft. 1 & 2 stories (per code)
Open Space 6.5 acres (40%)6.6 acres (40%)
The applicant’s site plan also includes:
Restoration of approximately 1.2-acres of previously disturbed Critical Resource Area (CRA) within the
on-site wash. A condition has been included in Attachment 1 regarding the required restoration.
6.6-acres of open space with enhanced buffer yards along the west and north boundaries
Two access points
Primary access via the existing commercial center east of the property
Emergency access to Sunkist Road north of the property
Staff does not support the current configuration for access to the site. As noted above, the primary access
is proposed through the commercial center to the east. Both the Town Engineer and Police Chief do not support
this configuration as it presents several issues. Most importantly, access through the commercial center will
be impacted when the Leman Academy School completes their Phase 2 expansion, something that is expected to
double the current population of the school, and the associated increases in traffic. As future
development occurs in the commercial area south of the school, traffic within the center will become more
congested further impacting the proposed primary access. As such, staff has included a condition in Attachment 1
to require the primary access be located on Sunkist Road.
Staff recommends approval of the applicant’s request, subject to the conditions listed in Attachment 1, most
notably the condition relative to access on Sunkist Road.

B. GENERAL PLAN CONFORMANCE ANALYSIS
Rezoning applications are reviewed for conformance with the Your Voice, Our Future General Plan Land Use
map, vision, guiding principals, goals and policies. A discussion of the applications conformance with each is
provided below.
General Plan Land Use Map
The subject property has a land use designation of Medium Density Residential which permits a range of 2.1 to 5
homes per acre. The Major General Plan Amendment approved in 2014 capped the permitted density at no more
than 2.5 homes per acre. As such, the proposed density of 1.8 homes per acre is below the maximum allowed
and is consistent with the approved land use designation. Developments less than 2.0 homes per acre are within
range of Low Density Residential.
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 it's 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 proposed rezoning is consistent with the vision statement as it will provide a land use
transition from a school and tech park and large lot residential uses. Furthermore, it provides environmental
conservation/restoration and nearby housing for employees within the adjacent technology park and other nearby
employment areas. In sum, it supports the socio-economic goals expressed in the General Plan. Further, the
proposed density and lot sizes within the subdivision serve as an effective transition between higher intensity uses
to the east and the lower intensity residential to the west.
General Plan principals, goals and policies
The application is in conformance with the Your Voice, Our Future General Plan guiding principals, goals and
policies. Several applicable principals, goals and policies regarding the applicant's proposal are listed below:
Goal K: The proactive conservation, protection and restoration of environmentally sensitive lands, natural
resources and habitats and lands with high scenic value
Goal V: Neighborhoods that include access and effective transitions to open space, recreation and schools
and that are supported by shopping and services which meet daily needs
Goal X: Effective transitions between differing land uses and intensities in the community
Policy LU.5: Provide diverse land uses that meet the Town's overall needs and effectively transition in scale
and density to adjacent neighborhoods
C. ZONING CODE CONFORMANCE ANALYSIS
The applicant's proposal is in conformance with all applicable Zoning Code standards. The applicant's Tentative
Development Plan primarily conforms to the development standards of the R1-10 zoning district, with the
exception of the requested Flexible Design Options. The following standards are notable for this proposal:
Site Access: The Tentative Development Plan (TDP) includes two proposed access points. The primary
access is proposed through the existing commercial center to the east with a secondary, emergency
access proposed on Sunkist Road. Staff has concerns regarding the primary access through the existing
commercial center, specifically as it relates to future traffic congestion within the center.
The Leman Academy will soon begin construction on the second phase of the school, which is expected to
double the current student population. This increase in population will also result in an increase in traffic
within the center. Furthermore, when the vacant parcels within the commercial/tech park areas build out,
traffic within the center is only expected to increase. Considering the future increases in traffic within the
center, a condition has been included in Attachment 1 to require the primary access point be on Sunkist
Road.
Building Height: Building heights are limited to twenty-five feet (25’) and 2-stories. The applicant has agreed
to limit the homes on the western boundary (nearest the existing large-lot residential to the west) to
single-story.
Neighborhood Compatibility: The proposed R1-10 zoning is in compliance with the Medium Density
Residential designation on the General Plan Map and would serve as an appropriate land use transition
from lower intensity residential land uses to the west, and the school and future commercial/technology
park land uses to the east.
The proposed site design includes larger 12,000 sq. ft. lots abutting rural (3-acre) lots to the west, and
smaller lots (10,000 sq. ft.) abutting open space and a future technology park to the east. This helps serve
as a transition to the lower densities to the north and west.
Open Space: The proposed rezoning preserves 6.6 - acres of open space (approximately 40% of the site)
including restoring 1.2 - acres of previously disturbed wash area designated as Critical Resource Areas. A
condition has been included in Attachment 1 regarding the required restoration.
Environmentally Sensitive Lands (ESL)
Environmentally Sensitive Open Space (ESOS)
The subject property has two mapped Environmentally Sensitive Lands conservation categories: Critical Resource
Area and Resource Management Area Tier 2.
The riparian area traversing the larger Miller Ranch site, which serves as the eastern boundary of the subject
property, is designated as Critical Resource Area (CRA). The proposed rezoning conserves approximately 95% of
this area, consistent with the minimum requirement in the Zoning Code.
The remainder of the site is designated Resource Management Area Tier 2 and requires twenty-five (25%)
percent conservation. In combination with a proposed wash restoration credit of 1.2 - acres, the project conserves
twenty-five (25%) percent of this conservation category as ESOS.
Flexible Design Options
The Environmentally Sensitive Lands requirements enable the use of incentives for conservation, or
cluster subdivision design. These incentives, known as flexible design options are designed to encourage the
preservation of additional natural open space while ensuring the applicant is able to develop the same number of
lots as permitted under the base zoning district. The flexible design options are available to property when
Environmentally Sensitive Open Space (ESOS) is conserved on twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the
property. The applicant’s proposal provides approximately forty percent (40%) ESOS and has requested the use
of the following flexible design options which require Town Council approval:
Lot width reduction: The applicant has requested a lot width reduction from 80 feet (minimum required in
the R1-10 zoning district) to 70 feet. A reduced lot width again helps to create the smaller footprint of the
conservation subdivision design and results in the conservation of more contiguous open space. Staff
supports the applicant's request for a reduced lot width.
1.
Building setback reduction: The applicant has requested a reduction in the required building setbacks to
correspond with the request for a reduced lot width. The request is as follows:
Front from 25 feet to 20 feeta.
Side from 10 feet to 7.5 feetb.
Rear from 25 feet to 20 feetc.
2.
When lot widths or sizes are reduced to foster a cluster style development, a reduction in the code required
setbacks is necessary to maintain a useable building area on each lot. Further, a minimum of 20' shall be
required for all driveways to ensure sufficient parking space is provided. As such, Staff supports the
applicant's request for a building setback reduction.
The following flexible design option has been requested by the applicant and does not require Town Council
approval. As such, the request has been approved by the Planning and Zoning Administrator.
Recreation Area credit: The applicant is requesting the recreation area (approximately 1 - acre) be credited
toward the required Environmentally Sensitive Open Space (ESOS) for the site. A credit for passive and
active recreation areas are permitted when uses are compatible with ESOS requirements. The permitted
recreation uses include, among others, natural trails, benches, open air ramadas, horseshoe pits and other
similar uses with impervious surfaces.
1.
Engineering
The Site Analysis addresses issues related to drainage and traffic as follows:
Drainage:
The proposed rezoning request acknowledges that the development will be designed so that
post-developed drainage conditions are consistent with pre-developed conditions in accordance with Town
requirements. The request also acknowledges that the project will comply with the requirements of the
Town of Oro Valley Drainage Criteria.
Traffic:
A traffic impact analysis was provided to evaluate the effect of additional traffic on surrounding roadways.
One point of ingress/egress is proposed from La Cañada Drive through the east side of the Miller Ranch
development. However, staff is concerned with the proposed design which results in residential access
through the center of the commercial development and adjoining Leman Academy property. Access
through a commercial center is not typical of a residential subdivision street design due to lower speeds
associated with parking lots, the greater number and close spacing of intersections within parking lot areas,
limited sight visibility and higher commercial traffic volumes.
Furthermore, staff’s concern is even greater in this scenario due to the daily school traffic that will share the
same commercial access drives, particularly during the morning and afternoon drop-off and pick-up
periods. Therefore, staff is requiring access be provided via Sunkist Road which is a public roadway.
Access directly to Sunkist Road will require the developer to improve the roadway to a typical public street
standard. It should be noted that a portion of Sunkist Road is already being improved by the developer of
the La Cañada Ridge subdivision which is currently under construction. This Miller Ranch residential
development, if approved, will be required to tie into those improvements and continue them west along the
property frontage to include paving, sidewalk on the south side and all-weather access.

Numerous neighborhood meetings have been held regarding the subject property, including this application and
the previous General Plan Amendment and rezoning applications. A total of five neighborhood meetings have
been held in addition to numerous informal meetings with neighbors to discuss their concerns.
With this application, only one neighborhood meeting was held as there were no new issues or concerns raised
regarding the proposed plan. This proposal has less of an impact than the previously proposed versions
and discussion at the neighborhood meeting focused on the same issues raised relative to previous applications,
namely lot size transition, view impacts and changing the character of the area. As such, it was determined
additional neighborhood meetings were not going to result in tangible changes to the overall plan. A copy of the
neighborhood meeting summary notes are included as Attachment 6.
Since the meeting, the applicant has met and worked with a number of adjacent property owners to revise the
plan to address some of their concerns, specifically view impacts and the total number of lots. Several letters of
support from neighbors are included in Attachment 7.
Staff has received one letter of protest which is included as Attachment 8.
E. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
In summary, there are a number of key factors regarding the proposed rezoning. Those factors include:
The prior Major General Plan Amendment was approved for Medium Density Residential which set
the framework for a future rezoning
1.
The project density is less than the maximum density approved as part of the General Plan Amendment2.
The design serves as a land use transition between the higher intensity uses to the east and the lower
intensity uses to the west
3.
The applicant has worked with neighbors to minimize impacts including:
Larger lot sizes on the lots nearest existing homes
Single-story building height restrictions on western lots
Reduced the overall number of lots from the previous application from 37 to 28
Incorporated an enhanced buffer yard on both the north and west boundaries to further screen the
future subdivision
4.
Based on the aforementioned factors, staff recommends approval of the requested rezoning, subject to the
conditions of approval included in Attachment 1.
FISCAL IMPACT:

SUGGESTED MOTION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission may wish to consider one of the following motions:
I MOVE to recommend approval of the proposed rezoning, including use of the ESL Flexible Design Options for
reduced lot widths and setbacks, based on a finding it is in conformance with the General Plan and all applicable
zoning code requirements, subject to the conditions in Attachment 1.
OR
I MOVE to recommend denial of the proposed rezoning, based on a finding that

- Proposal
- 2014 General Plan Amendment
- Site Plan Revisions
- Rezoning Request Review Tools
The presentation was turned over to Permitting Manager David Laws to speak on traffic
concerns. Mr. Laws reiterated Staff is requesting access be provided off Sunkist Road
for two key reasons: (1) Sunkist Road east of this property was recently paved and this
request would extend and enhance those improvements, (2) it is the best and safest
access for this project. La Cañada Road is currently at less than 20% capacity; this
project would add less than 5% new traffic. During the morning and evening rush hour
time frames, it is expected that less than 20 cars will be traveling in and out of this
subdivision.
Mr. Spaeth then continued with his presentation:

SUBJECT:
AMENDING CHAPTER 25, SECTION 25.1.B.22 OF THE ORO VALLEY ZONING CODE REGARDING
REQUIREMENTS FOR UTILITY POLES, WIRES AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT
A. RESOLUTION NO. (R)18-26, DECLARING THE PROPOSED ZONING CODE AMENDMENT
TO SECTION 25.1.B.22 OF THE ORO VALLEY ZONING CODE REGARDING REQUIREMENTS FOR UTILITY
POLES, WIRES AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT, PROVIDED IN EXHIBIT "A" WITHIN THE ATTACHED
RESOLUTION AND FILED WITH THE CLERK, A PUBLIC RECORD
B. PUBLIC HEARING: ORDINANCE NO. (O)18-10, AMENDING SECTION 25.1.B.22 OF THE ORO VALLEY
ZONING CODE REGARDING REQUIREMENTS FOR UTILITY POLES, WIRES AND ASSOCIATED
EQUIPMENT
RECOMMENDATION:
A. This is an administrative resolution declaring the proposed code amendment a public record (Attachment 1).
Staff recommends approval.
B. The Planning & Zoning Commission recommends approval of the proposed Zoning Code
amendments (Attachment 2, Exhibit A).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The purpose of this code amendment is to modify the Conditional Use Permit requirements related to the
maintenance and installation of utility poles, wires and pole mounted equipment. The Zoning Code currently
requires a Conditional Use Permit for any relocation, new installation or upgrade to larger utility poles, wires, and
pole mounted equipment.
The Zoning Code takes a “one size fits all” approach to regulating utility poles and equipment. In other words,
virtually all small and large changes require a Conditional Use Permit and public hearings, which challenges staff,
Commission and Town Council to determine what constitutes a significant change on a case-by-case basis.
Greater consistency can be achieved by pre-determining what constitutes a significant change up front and this
proposed amendment achieves this intention.
Tucson Electric Power filed an amendment to the Zoning Code to change the thresholds for when a Conditional
Use Permit is required for common upgrades, installations, and relocations of utility poles, wires and
pole-mounted equipment. The proposed amendment (Attachment 2, Exhibit A) involves changing the Zoning
Code so that a Conditional Use Permit is only required for significant changes related to the following:
Pole height and diameter, except for support poles1.
Number and thickness of wire diameter2.
Pole mounted equipment3.
Segment replacement length 4.
After one Study Session and two public hearings, the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval of
the amendments on May 1, 2018 (Attachment 3, draft Planning & Zoning Commission minutes).
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
A. BACKGROUND
The General Plan has always placed a high priority on preserving the natural environment and scenic views, and
the intent of the Conditional Use Permit requirement is to protect these community values. Since the current
zoning provisions were adopted 33 years ago (1984), there has been a number of technological advancements in
utility pole maintenance and upgrades (e.g., wooden to metal poles, bird protection guards, thicker wires for
electricity capacity, etc.). These advancements along with current utility replacement needs have highlighted the
necessity for refined zoning provisions.
The Zoning Code currently requires a Conditional Use Permit for the relocation, new installation and upgrades to
larger utility poles, wires and pole-mounted equipment. The Code provides the following exceptions for
replacements meeting the following conditions:
The length of the replacement segment is no longer than 600 feet
The replacement pole(s) are placed in the same location and do not increase the height and diameter of
the pole(s) replaced
Ground mounted equipment such as transformers or pull boxes are permitted
Utility poles, wires and pole-mounted equipment are routinely relocated, installed, and upgraded by Tucson
Electric Power as part of ongoing maintenance or an improvement project. Tucson Electric Power proposes to
modify five (5) areas of the Zoning Code.
B. DISCUSSION / ANALYSIS
The following key changes are proposed:
1. Pole height and diameter, except for support poles
The current Zoning Code allows for utility pole(s) to be replaced with a pole(s) of equal height and diameter.
According to Tucson Electric Power, this requirement cannot be met because wooden poles are generally
replaced with new steel poles, which require increases to height and diameter. The applicant also indicates that
additional height and diameter is needed to accommodate national safety standards (line separation etc.) or to
accommodate a field condition where additional height is needed to maintain required clearances from roadways,
paths or other infrastructure such as street lights.
The applicant requests a replacement pole allowance to exceed the height and diameter of an existing pole by no
more than 50%, without Conditional Use Permit review, provided that the new pole includes a tapered design. For
example, a 50% increase would allow replacement of a 30-foot high, 45-inch diameter pole with a 45-foot high,
65-inch diameter pole as a matter of right. Anything greater would require a Conditional Use Permit.
This proposal is supported because metal poles are tapered and the viewshed analysis provided by TEP indicates
low impact.
2. Number and thickness of wire diameter
The current code requires a Conditional Use Permit for additional and thicker wires. Tucson Electric Power
proposes that the following utility upgrades be administratively approved:
Changes to wire diameter are not to exceed two (2”) inches in thickness
No more than twenty-five (25%) percent increase to the number of wires, not to exceed a total of 10 wires
Any changes beyond the allowances above will require a Conditional Use Permit
The applicant’s requests are reasonable because increasing the wire diameter (e.g., not to exceed 2”) and/or total
number of wires (e.g., no more than 25%) do not have a significant visual impact which would warrant a public
review through the Conditional Use Permit process. A Conditional Use Permit would be required for wires greater
than 2” in diameter and for any increases exceeding twenty-five (25%) or ten (10) total wires.
3. Size of pole mounted equipment
The applicant originally requested that pole-mounted equipment designed for the protection of wildlife (bird
guards) and/or service (transformers, capacitors etc.) be permitted without a Conditional Use Permit, provided that
the total area of the equipment is equal or less than 480 cubic feet per pole.
Due to collaborative work with assigned Planning & Zoning Commission and TEP representatives, the following
changes were made:
Equipment more than 160 cubic feet per pole along an arterial street will require a Conditional Use Permit.
Equipment more than 64 cubic feet per pole along a collector or local street will require a Conditional Use
Permit.
To view a map delineating Town arterial, collector and local streets, please see Attachment 4.
4. Segment replacement length
The current Zoning Code does not require a Conditional Use Permit to replace a segment of utility line less than
600 feet (about 1/8 mile) in length, within a 12-month period of time. To ensure adequate service and
maintenance, Tucson Electric Power proposes to increase the 600’ foot length requirement to 5,000 feet.
Increasing the allowed line segment replacement length from 600 feet to 5,000 feet would accommodate the
typical length of an improvement or ongoing maintenance project while still allowing public review for longer, more
visually impactful lengths of utility projects.
The 5,000 foot length requirement is less than one mile (or 5,280 feet), which is the typical length from one major
intersection to another (e.g., La Cañada Drive to La Cholla Boulevard or Naranja Drive to Lambert Lane, etc.).
The aim is to ensure visual continuity of roadway stretches between traffic lights. Traffic lights create a prominent
visual landmark or break along a street.
As proposed, utility projects that exceed the proposed 5,000 feet segment replacement length are considered a
significant change that warrants public review through the Conditional Use Permit process.
C. GENERAL PLAN ANALYSIS
The proposed amendment was reviewed for conformance with the Vision, Goals and Policies of the Your Voice,
Our Future General Plan. The Vision Statement and applicable goals and policies are provided below, followed by
a staff response:
Vision Statement
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.
Goal K: The proactive conservation, protection and restoration of environmentally sensitive lands, natural
resource areas and habitats and lands with high scenic value.
Policy SD.6: Protect scenic corridors, public park and trail view sheds, and the distinctive visual character and
visual appeal of Oro Valley.
Goal T: Sustainable and innovative public services and utilities that serve the current and future needs of the
community.
In summary, the Vision, Goals and Policies of the General Plan place a high priority on the natural environment
and scenic views. The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan as it contains sufficient
limitations that allow a careful balancing between the maintenance and upgrade of public infrastructure and the
protection of the Town’s scenic resources.
D. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION

Planning & Zoning Commission AGENDA ITEM: 4.
Meeting Date:05/01/2018
Requested by: Bayer Vella, Community and Economic Development
Submitted By:Jeanna Ancona, Community and Economic Development
Case Number:OV1700002
SUBJECT:
PUBLIC HEARING: DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING A ZONING CODE AMENDMENT
RELATED TO THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUIREMENTS FOR UTILITY POLES, WIRES AND POLE
MOUNTED EQUIPMENT, OV1700002
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed changes in Attachment 1.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The purpose of this code amendment is to modify the Conditional Use Permit requirements related to the
maintenance and installation of utility poles, wires and pole mounted equipment. The Zoning Code currently
requires a Conditional Use Permit for the 1) relocation 2) new installation and 3) upgrade to larger utility poles,
wires and pole mounted equipment.
The Zoning Code takes a “one size fits all” approach to regulating utility poles and equipment. In other words,
virtually all small and large changes require a Conditional Use Permit and public hearings. This challenges staff,
Commission and Town Council to determine what constitutes a significant change on a case-by-case basis.
Greater consistency can be achieved by pre-determining what constitutes a significant change up front and this
proposed amendment achieves this aim.
Tucson Electric Power filed an amendment to the Zoning Code to change the thresholds for when a Conditional
Use Permit is required for common upgrades, installations, and relocations of utility poles, wires and pole
mounted equipment.
The proposed amendment (Attachment 1) involves changing the Zoning Code so that a Conditional Use Permit is
not required or the threshold for triggering the need for one is higher for improvements related to the following:
Pole height and diameter1.
Support poles used for a change in direction or line termination2.
Number and thickness of wire diameter3.
Pole mounted equipment4.
Segment replacement length 5.
The Planning & Zoning Commission held a study session on May 2, 2017 and a public hearing on December 5,
2017. At the first public hearing, this item was continued (See Attachment 2 for meeting minutes). Key issues
expressed at this meeting include: 1) Segment replacement length 2) Size of pole mounted equipment 3)
Temporary & emergency allowances 4) Erection of new utility poles where none previously existed 5) Need for
visual impact analysis 6) Exemption versus Planning & Zoning Administrator review and approval.
The Commission directed staff to work with the applicant and two Commissioners, as appointed by the Chair, to
address all issues and concerns. This has been accomplished and staff recommends approval of the revised
amendment.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
A. BACKGROUND
Please see the December 5, 2017 Planning & Zoning Commission staff report (Attachment 3).
B. DISCUSSION / ANALYSIS
The following issues were raised at the December Commission meeting and addressed by the designated review
team:
1. Segment replacement length
The current Zoning Code does not require a Conditional Use Permit for the replacement of a segment of utility
line less than 600 feet (about 1/8 mile) in length, within a 12-month period of time. To ensure adequate service and
maintenance, Tucson Electric Power proposes to increase the 600’ foot length requirement to 5,000 feet.
Increasing the allowed line segment replacement length from 600 feet to 5,000 feet would accommodate the
typical length of an improvement or ongoing maintenance project while still allowing public review for longer, more
visually impactful lengths of utility projects.
The 5,000 feet length requirement is less than one mile (or 5,280 feet), which is the typical length from one major
intersection to another (e.g., La Cañada Drive to La Cholla Boulevard or Naranja Drive to Lambert Lane, etc.).
The aim is to ensure visual continuity of roadway stretches between traffic lights. Traffic lights create a prominent
visual landmark or break along a street.
As proposed, utility projects that exceed the proposed 5,000 feet segment replacement length are considered a
significant change that warrants public review through the Conditional Use Permit process.
2. Size of Pole mounted equipment
The applicant originally requested that pole mounted equipment designed for the protection of wildlife (bird
guards) and/or service (transformers, capacitors etc.) be permitted without a Conditional Use Permit, provided that
the total area of the equipment is equal or less than 480 cubic feet per pole. Pole mounted equipment greater than
480 cubic feet would require a Conditional Use Permit.
After working with the designated Commissioners and TEP representatives, the following changes were made:
Equipment more than 180 cubic feet per pole along an arterial street will require a Conditional Use Permit.
If less, then it is exempt from the public hearing process.
Equipment more than 64 cubic feet per pole along a collector or local street will require a Conditional Use
Permit. If less, then it is exempt from the public hearing process.
To view a map delineating Town arterial, collector and local streets, please see Attachment 4.
3. Temporary and emergency situations
The Zoning Code currently allows new temporary or emergency utility poles and wires to be erected for a period
of four (4) months without a Conditional Use Permit, provided that the intent is to provide temporary services. The
provision reads:
New utility poles and wires erected for temporary use for periods not in excess of four (4) months for purely
temporary purposes such as for providing temporary building construction power or for emergency power or
telephone service, or for the furnishing of power to temporary outdoor activities. This four (4) month period
may be extended by the Town Council if good cause is shown.
To efficiently serve customers in times of a special circumstance or emergency situation, Tucson Electric Power
proposes that the four-month extension for temporary electrical service be approved by the Planning and Zoning
Administrator and Town Engineer, and not the Town Council.
4. Erection of new utility poles where none previously existed
The current code requires a Conditional Use Permit for all new utility poles where none existed prior. The updated
draft continues this theme, except for limited additions for structural support. Language has been added to clarify
this requirement.
5. Need for visual impact analysis
A visual analysis is required for all related conditional use permit applications. Additional language has been
added to the most recent draft.
6. Exemption versus Planning & Zoning Administrator review and approval
Concern was expressed at the last Commission hearing that the list of “exemptions” would not enable Town staff
review of improvements. Because most utility poles are located in Town Right-of-Way (excluding Oracle Road
and segments of Tangerine Road), a Town Public Right-of-Way Permit is required for any work. This enables staff
the ability to check for zoning compliance prior to construction.
C. GENERAL PLAN ANALYSIS
The proposed amendment was reviewed for conformance with the Vision, Goals and Policies of the Your Voice,
Our Future General Plan. The Vision Statement and applicable goals and policies are provided below, followed by
a staff response:
Vision Statement
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.
Goal K: The proactive conservation, protection and restoration of environmentally sensitive lands, natural
resource areas and habitats and lands with high scenic value.
Policy SD.6 Protect scenic corridors, public park and trail view sheds, and the distinctive visual character and
visual appeal of Oro Valley.
Goal T: Sustainable and innovative public services and utilities that serve the current and future needs of the
community.
Staff Comment: The Vision, Goals and Policies of the General Plan place a high priority on the natural
environment and scenic views. The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan as it contains
sufficient limitations that allow a careful balancing between the maintenance and upgrade of public infrastructure
and the protection of the Town’s scenic resources.
D. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION
Public Notice has been provided as follows:
All HOAs in Town were notified of this hearing
Public hearing notices were posted:
In the Territorial Newspaper
At Town Hall
On the Town website
E. RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning and Zoning Commission approve the requested code amendment, based on
the following findings:
The Town retains the ability to hold public hearings for all significant utility upgrades.
The current draft now precisely defines what changes are significant. This better serves Oro Valley’s
interest in conserving views and Tucson Electric Power’s request for greater efficiency.
In keeping with the Vision, Goals and Policies of the Your Voice Our Future General Plan, this amendment
provides a means to conserve views and ensure proper service.
FISCAL IMPACT:
N/A.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission may wish to consider one of the following motions:
I MOVE to recommend approval of the Zoning Code Amendment in Attachment 1, based on the finding that the

SUBJECT:
PRESENTATION OF FIVE-YEAR FINANCIAL FORECAST THROUGH FY 2022/23
RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for presentation and discussion.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Town's adopted financial policies provide "as a part of the annual Town budget preparation cycle, the Finance
Department shall prepare a minimum five-year financial forecast of projected revenues and expenditures to
measure the financial sustainability of the Town's operations and service levels." As such, staff will present the
five-year financial forecast through FY 2022/23 for the General Fund and Highway Fund. A five-year forecast has
not been prepared for the Community Center Fund, due to improvements planned for the facility over the next two
years.
The forecast assumptions were compiled by referencing several sources of data, including the University of
Arizona, Joint Legislative Budget Committee (JLBC), State Finance Advisory Committee, Arizona Department of
Revenue and the Arizona Department of Transportation. Staff also incorporated Town historical trend data and
professional judgment into formulation of this forecast.
BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION:
On May 22, 2018, the Pima County board of supervisors approved a FY 18/19 tentative budget that includes the
25-cent property tax dedicated to repairing local roads in both incorporated and unincorporated areas. This
property tax funds roughly $600,000 annually towards the Town's pavement preservation program, which in turn
allows for a reduction in the required General Fund transfer to subsidize Highway Fund operations. Pima County's
final budget adoption is scheduled for June 19, 2018. Due to the fact that this tax has to be approved by the Pima
County board of supervisors each year, we did NOT include this funding or the associated savings to the Town in
our forecast beyond FY 18/19.
Attached to this communication are the following fund forecasts:
General Fund
Five-year forecast of revenues and expenditures by category without the Pima County property tax for
roads
Forecast assumptions without the Pima County property tax for roads
Graph of forecasted revenues, expenditures and fund balance without the Pima County property tax for
roads
The General Fund remains relatively stable over the five-year horizon, with sustained building activity, moderate
revenue growth and an emphasis on efficient operations and fiscally conservative spending. The slowing revenue
growth in the last two years of the forecast reflects an expected decline in building activity due to the Town
approaching build-out within its incorporated boundaries.
The forecast assumes residential construction will peak in FY 20/21 with 415 single family residential (SFR)
permits issued that year, declining to 227 in FY 22/23. In regards to commercial construction, the forecast
assumes activity will be limited to smaller infill projects and potential development on remaining available parcels
within Town. Construction sales tax collections and building permit revenues are expected to decline considerably
into FY 22/23. This could impact available funding for one-time expenditures, particularly capital improvements
and the General Fund transfer to subsidize Highway Fund operations. Declining revenues will also place
increased pressure on reducing our operating costs, as the forecast for FY 22/23 shows the General Fund
reserve balance falling below the Town's required 25% minimum. While acknowledging that this is a conservative
forecast and reflects four to five years into the future, we still need to ensure we plan accordingly in order to
manage this potential decline.
Recurring revenues are expected to grow 3%-5% per year; however, recurring expenditures are expected to
slightly outpace available revenues. Recurring expenditures in the forecast reflect the continued commitment to
providing fair employee compensation, managing the Town's pension and health insurance costs, planning for
increased inflationary pressures in operations and maintenance (O&M) budgets and allocating resources to asset
replacement (computers and vehicles).
The fund balance in the General Fund is maintained at healthy levels over the next four years at $9.6 million to
$12.0 million, which is at or above the Town's adopted policy requirement of 25% of adopted expenditures each
year.
Highway Fund
Five-year forecast of revenues and expenditures by category without the Pima County property tax for
roads
Forecast assumptions without the Pima County property tax for roads
Graph of forecasted revenues, expenditures and fund balance without the Pima County property tax for
roads
Highway Fund revenues are comprised primarily of State Shared highway user (gas tax) revenues and subsidy
funds transferred from the General Fund. The State Shared highway user revenue projections are provided by the
Arizona Department of Transportation. The funds transferred from the General Fund will maintain a positive fund
balance in the Highway Fund each year. Should Pima County continue to approve the property tax for roads, we
could expect an offsetting reduction in the subsidy transfer from the General Fund.
Highway Fund expenditures reflect similar assumptions as those included in the General Fund forecast for
personnel and operations and maintenance (O&M) costs. Funding for the pavement preservation program is
included in the forecast at approximately $1.4 million each year; again, this is without the County property tax for
roads. As with the General Fund, capacity for capital needs in the Highway Fund are expected to fluctuate, based
on available funding sources.
The fund balance in the Highway Fund is projected to decrease to approximately $153,000 by FY 22/23.
