TOWN OF ORO VALLEY
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION MEETING DATE: September 20, 2004
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR& COUNCIL
FROM: Bryant Nodine, AICP, Planning and Zoning Administrator
SUBJECT: GENERAL PLAN UPDATE: CITIZEN COMMITTEE
BACKGROUND
On August 18, the Council considered the General Plan and directed staff to assemble names for a citizen
committee per the following motion:
Mayor Loomis DIRECTED staff to contact the Planning and Zoning Commission, Development
Review Board, Water Utility Commission, Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, Budget and
Bond Board and Public Art Review Committee and ask them to appoint a representative; to place
in the newspaper an ad seeking volunteers to work on a General Plan Update Citizen Committee;
and to plan on a Study Session on September 20th to further plan and establish direction for this
committee. Council Member Culver SECONDED the motion. MOTION carried, 6-1.
CITIZEN COMMITTEE
The following bodies have submitted recommendations for a representative to the committee:
Planning and Zoning Commission Don Cox
Development Review Board Al Kunisch
Water Utility Commission to be provided at the meeting
Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Bob Evans
Budget and Bond Board Lyra Done
Public Art Review Committee David Grigsby
In addition an ad was run in the Explorer and 11 persons submitted applications. Those applications are
attached.
DIRECTION FOR THE COMMITTEE
Update Process
The following steps are the minimum to meet State requirements:
• Complete the revisions
• Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Council review of the draft Plan
• 60-day review period
• Two Commission public hearings in separate locations
• Council Hearing
• Council adopts Plan and declares election
• Election (Based on the experience of the two other communities where the General Plan was
not ratified, the election should not be coincident with a Town Council election or with any
locally referred items.)
TOWN OF ORO VALLEY
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION Page 2
Suggested Committee Process
After an orientation on the adopted Plan, the process 40 to date, and State requirements, the Committee
would start addressing the identified issues within the Plan (per the section below). They should:
• host and actively participate in any public workshops;
• be involved throughout the 60-day Review Period;
• modify the plan based on review comments;
• remain involved during the public hearing process to address issues referred to them and to make
recommendations to the hearing bodies; and,
• as a separate volunteer group, support the plan through the election.
AREAS TO CONSIDER FOR CHANGES
As presented in the April 26 report to Council, the following areas within the Plan should be considered to
address the primary concerns expressed in the post-election surveys. They are presented in the order of
presentation in the Plan and not by importance.
General Policy Changes
The 1996 General Plan included 132 policies of which 10%were stated as "shall" statements. Early in the
process of revising the 1996 Plan, the policy statements were all redrafted to begin with: "The Town
shall..." Later, the Council directed staff to review all of the policies to start the sentences with an active
verb so that the policies, though still very directive, only use the verbiage "the Town shall" where the
policies are:
• mandated by the Town Code or State or Federal law;
• partially implemented by Code;
• already being accomplished even though not required by law; and/or,
• are strongly supported by the community
As a result 12% of the 220 policies in the proposed plan are stated as "shalls" and the remaining policies
are clearly directive. However, the perception in the community is that the policy content of the plan was
weakened from the 1996 plan. Accordingly, the Council may wish to reconsider and apply "shalls" to a
greater number of the policies.
Amending the Plan (p. 10)
The Town has provided a definition of Major Amendment that makes the proposed plan one of the most
difficult to amend of any of the general or comprehensive plans that the staff has reviewed in the State.
The requirement for a super-majority vote of the Council to approve a Major Amendment means that the
ability to amend the plan became more difficult (as compared to the 1996 Plan) in 90% of our plan area
the only exception being the "Growth Areas." Regardless, there was significant concern in the community
that amending the proposed plan would be easier than amending the 1996 Plan. This concern could be
addressed by considering changes to the following two items.
Definition of Minor Amendment (p. 11)
There was some concern related to criterion #2, which allows increases in intensity within growth areas to
be classified as "minor amendments".
TOWN OF ORO VALLEY
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION Page 3
Adoption of Amendment ("Findings", p. 13)
In the 1996 Plan, there were four findings required in order to amend the Plan. In the proposed plan, one
finding was removed and the remaining findings were reworded. The perception in the election was that
this was one of the changes that weakened the Plan.
Definition of Policy (p. 16 and p. 86)
There are two (not identical, but similar) definitions of policy in the Plan. The definition on page 16 is the
definition approved by the Steering Committee.
Policy 1.5.3 (p. 21)
This policy is in place as a method of achieving better air quality. It encourages "mixed use development
with amenities such as day care facilities, bicycle and pedestrian access, employment and housing". After
the deletion of the Mixed-use Neighborhood (MUN) designation, this was left in the proposed Plan to
refer to the variety of uses allowed under the Master Planned Community (MPC) designation, and what is
already allowed in the zoning districts or PADs. It may helpful to change the term "mixed use
development"to "development with a variety of uses," or some similar term, thus avoiding any confusion.
Land Use Standards (p. 22)
The 1996 Plan and the proposed plan both provide ranges of densities for each land use designation. Both
plans treat these ranges as the overall densities of parcels and allow densities to vary within the parcel as
long as they do not vary from the description in the land use designation (e.g. "single-family, detached").
The proposed Plan provides additional restrictions on this variation in density. Though the proposed Plan
is more restrictive than the 1996 Plan, this became an issue in the election. The community preference
appears to be that the density ranges establish the upper limit of density allowed in any portion of a parcel.
Significant Resource Area (p. 25)
Those areas designated as Open Space on the map are only those areas where open space has currently
been preserved through the development process. If any other areas are designated as open space, per
State Law, they must have a one-unit-per-acre, "back-up" designation. Areas that the Town wants to see
as open space in the future (25% of the planning area) are now designated as Significant Resource Area
(SRA) with underlying land use designations that are typically less than one unit per acre. The SRA
designation includes riparian areas, ironwood areas, archeological sites and other environmentally
sensitive lands. The concern in the community is that there could be even a little development in these
areas or that a land owner may get "credit" for transferring densities out of these areas.
Policy 3.1.7 (p. 38)
This policy states "[c]onsider alternative revenue sources, such as a property tax and..." to ensure the
Town's economic stability. The inclusion of the term "property tax" became one of the primary issues
used to defeat the plan.
TOWN OF ORO VALLEY
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION Page 4
Policy 7.2.3 (p. 58)
This policy was created to meet the goal of providing a range of housing opportunities by encouraging"the
mixing of various residential densities and the integration of commercial uses through high-quality
neighborhoods and master planned communities." Though this policy refers to the Land Use Map, which
does not include MUN, and it specifically mentions MPCs, the community concern was that this
encouraged MUNs.
Strategic Implementation Plan Item LU.8 (p. 3 of the SIP)
Item LU.8 in the Strategic Implementation Plan (SIP) directs staff to develop a MUN zoning district with
regulations and standards for that type of development. While the inclusion of this does not automatically
create a MUN use in the Town (zoning code standards must be created, then a General Plan amendment,
and finally a rezoning), it did create concern in the community that the Town would, in the future,
encourage mixed-use developments.
CONCLUSION
Staff seeks direction from the Council regarding the composition of the committee and their charge.

Town of Oro Valley
11000 N La Canada Dr,
Oro Valley, AZ 85737
Enclosed is my application to serve on the General Plan Committee. I understand from
the web site that Oro Valley requires board and commission volunteers to reside in the
town for one year before appointment. It is not clear whether that policy applies to a
committee such as this one.
I have lived here only a few months, as I relocated from Indiana in early May to be near
myparents who have lived in Oro Valley for 11 years. I contracted for my home last
September, and I made a number of visits while the house was under construction. As a
professional planner, I followed the General Plan debate and referendum with interest. I
have worked in the field of planning for more than 30 years, and I believe I could make a
valuable contribution to this committee.

Sincerely,
Teree L. Bergman, FAICP

Oro Valley Volunteer Appointment Application
Phillip L.Davis
Oro Valley,AZ 85737
I moved to Oro Valley,AZ in April of 2003 from Kalamazoo,Michigan. I have owned another piece of
Arizona property for thirty five years.
I believe that the General Plan for the City of Oro Valley was developed by a hard working group of
people. I am of the opinion that the committee does not need to go back to zero and rewrite the plan but
needs to work on those areas of the plan that need resolve to be supported by the community. I would like
to be one of those people.

Attachment 2-Phillip L.Davis
Preparation for board or commission appointment.
During my past experience on boards and task forces I learned how important it is for all members to work
together to understand and come to a consensus on the topic. That consensus also had to be acceptable to
the community,which is not always easy. In several situations we were problem solving within the board,
within the community and within unions. I believe that my people skills were instrumental in the positive
acceptance and implementation of change.
Attachment 3-Phillip L. Davis
Educational/vocational background
I was a small business owner for twenty eight years in Kalamazoo,Michigan. I owned and operated a shoe
repair,dry cleaning and shirt laundry as well as a packing and shipping co. I began my career in

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
I have known Stan Weintraub since August, 1569. During this
period he has worked directly under my supervision_ - He has
consistently demonstrated qualities that have made him out-
standing
among a department of 9 people.
Mr. Weintraub has been assigned a wide varietyof planning
P n g
projects, and also land use projects. Some have required a high
level of technical proficiency, some have required substantial
leadership ability, and others have involvedp ersonal contact with
the business and industrial community, other governmental agen-
cies, and with the general public. In every instance he has
discharged all of his obligations and duties in an excellent and
most responsible manner. In the process of doing so, he has shown .
a great deal of ingenuity, dedication and mature judgment.
In relations with other people, he has always been perceptive,
courteous and understanding, with the resultant ability to work.
• extremely well even in difficult situations. - He has been more
than willing to undertake major responsibilities, and I have
seen his associates respond to him as a well-informed natural
leader.
. r
It is with particular pleasure that I recommend Mr. Weintraub
for your consideration. -
Very truly yours, •

-What's thep otential (ideal) mix of retail, industry, residential, service, and cultural?
-What will / should Oro Valley look like as the result of pursuing various economic
development strategies or alternatives?
-Determine if the task force should become a standing committee following completion
of their initial charge
Issue #3: Annexation
Question #1: What should the map ultimately look like?
-Go down La Cholla to Ina Road
•
-Smaller is better
-The work of the committee (reducing size of the town)was good
-There are opportunities to the north, depending on what happens (state park?)
-Going west/ south of Ina Road requires assessing the character of the existing neigh-
borhoods
-Anyp roposed annexation map should stay in-sink with the General Plan
-Should the town be "squared off'?
Question p#2: Re existingannexation policies—What needs to be added, deleted or
changed?
-Anticipate what would be needed to meet new service levels
-What is cost if the annexation fails?
-During pre-annexation, develop a list of can do's & can't do's
-What is the cost of gearing up for annexing? Where is the balance between potential
revenues and higher initial cost? Service costs may run at a deficit in the short-term
Short-term drain vs long-term gain
-Areas available for potential annexation should be PRIORITIZED
-Proactive approach vs pre-emptive stance
-What economic model is appropriate? How do you quantify the "character of neigh-
borhoods being considered for annexation?
Page 6
-Pre-annexation agreements MUST be approved by the Town Council
-Pertinent information should be gathered prior to map being filed
can be done about property owners waiting until the "11th hour"to
-What should/ p p Y
get concessions?
-Concessions should be scrutinized closely(by whom?)
-Annexation is a labor intensive process and there is no staff dedicated solely to this
function
-Pre-existing agreements and proposed annexations should be voted on together
-How can the town counteract the ability of some areas to negotiate concessions more
effectively?
-ONLY the Town Council can approve agreements that violate or are outside the
existing annexation guidelines
-"Safety" related issues may take precedence when considering the feasibility of
annexing any given area
Summary of Actions/ Commitments:
-Identify priority areas for potential annexation
-Determine how to look at, analyze and project costs of annexing
-Annexation map should be in line with the General Plan
-Develop /review guidelines for individual annexations
-The Town Council should vote on ALL pre-annexation agreements
Issue #4: Town Council Processes
Question#1: How is the newly modified applicant process working?
-Changes to applicant process seem to be working and require the applicant to
take more responsibility
-Is thep rimary issue usually land use when it comes to this process?-Staff will focus more on pros/cons instead of making specific recommendations. But
the Town Council should /will take final responsibility for a decision
-Council is free to request a more specific recommendation or guidance from staff
-Three basic ways to present decision:
"I move to approve"
"I move to approve with conditions"
"I move to deny"
Page 7
Question #2: How is the Agenda-setting Process Working and are there other Changes
that should be Considered?
-Adhere to the policy of agenda items being added if two council persons support the
item
-Might try going to two-week lead time on council packet preparation. This would:
Give the council more time to review and questions during council meetings might
be reduced
-If change lead time, will have to modify the review process and ascertain the impact on
citizens /customers
-Shoot for January, 2005 implementation date
-Council should be made aware as to which topics are time-sensitive OR going to re-
quire extensive discussion time
-Maybe a ten-day vs two week lead time on council packets would be more appropriate
-Why do Town Council meetings last so long anyway? Oro Valley has a state-wide rep-
utation for very long meetings
-Target times on agenda were tried in the past. They did not work. Time to try again?
-Consider changing the order of items on the agenda
-What do other communities do to shorten their council meetings?
•
Summary of Actions/ Commitments:
-Staff will no longer make recommendations on council agenda items being discussed
but will offer pros & cons (unless asked for more guidance)
-Town Council will adhere to the guideline of adding items to the meeting agenda when
two members support the addition
-Lead time on delivery of council packets will change on 1-1-05. The time may be two
weeks or it may be ten days (impact of this change on citizens and customers of the
town will have to be evaluated)
-Staff will begin notifying the Town Council when agenda items are going to be time-
sensitive (either needing a definite decision or going to require lengthy discussion)
-Both the Town Council and staff will search for methods to at least try in an effort to
shorten Council meetings.
