Meeting Date:02/15/2024   Requested by: John Spiker, Public Works Submitted By:John Spiker, Public Works SUBJECT: PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION OF THE PIMA COUNTY CANADA DEL ORO LEVEE AUGMENTATION PROJECT BY DR. GREG SAXE AND DEIRDRE LAROCHELLE PIMA COUNTY REGIONAL FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT RECOMMENDATION: N/A EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In the summer of 2020 the Santa Catalina Mountains experienced the largest fire in Pima County history, labeled as the Big Horn Fire. Lightning struck the Pusch Ridge Wilderness during the night of June 5th igniting the fire. Significant wind patterns blew the fire to the north and east of Pusch Ridge, ultimately burning nearly 120,000 acres of land. The fire threatened hundreds of homes and multiple evacuations occurred. The fire burned until July 23 and the length of burn was attributed to dry, hot weather and rugged mountainous terrain. Efforts by the US Forest Service, various national, state and local fire departments were able to prevent loss of life and minimal to no structure damage.  Subsequent post fire hydraulic modeling of the watersheds emanating from the Santa Catalina Mountain Range was immediately performed by the Pima County Regional Flood Control District and their consultant JE Fuller. The results of this modeling exercise showed potential increases to runoff and associated potential flooding along the Canada Del Oro watershed inclusive of the Town of Oro Valley.   In 2020 the Pima County Regional Flood Control District applied for a Federal Emergency Management Agency Post Fire Hazard Mitigation Grant through the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs to address potential runoff increases and flooding along the Canada Del Oro Wash. The intent of the grant application was to raise the freeboard elevation along the bank protected portions of the Canada Del Oro Levee from upstream of Oracle Road to downstream of La Canada Drive. These improvements were intended to contain the increase to the 100-year storm event.  In 2023 the Pima County Regional Flood Control District was notified that their application was to be awarded. The Pima County Board of Supervisors subsequently approved the grant award and construction is anticipated to begin in 2024.  BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION: For informational purposes only  FISCAL IMPACT: N/A SUGGESTED MOTION: N/A Attachments Attachments Pima County CDO levee presentation  CANADA DEL ORO LEVEE AUGMENTATION FEMA POST FIRE HAZARD MITIGATION GRANT PROGRAM Pima County Regional Flood Control District Dr. Greg Saxe –Environmental Planning Manager and Community Rating Systems Coordinator Deirdre LaRochelle, PE –Engineering and Landscape Architecture Division Manager July – Aug 2023 • Increased flood flows: The post-fire hydrologic assessment showed that the 100-year peak runoff for the CDO nearly doubled, increasing from 10,594 cfs to 19,068 cfs. The 100-year pre-fire flood volume of 10,594 is equivalent to the post-fire 10-year flood volume (10,000 cfs) demonstrating that the probability of large flow events has increased dramatically. • Sediment aggradation: We have already had several flows out of the CDO this summer despite the paucity of rain. This has resulted in up to several feet of aggradation adjacent to District stream gages. (See video clip above) • Residential areas protected by levee in Oro Valley: With the potential for increased floods and aggradation, we are concerned about loss of levee freeboard and risk to residents. Along the CDO levee, 317 residential and 54 commercial structures have been identified as being within the post-fire inundation area. These floods are estimated to damage property and create traffic delays. •2020 June 5: Lightning strikes Pusch Ridge in the Coronado National Forest •2020 June 11: Bighorn Fire State Disaster Declaration issued at request of PCOEM •2020 July 23: 100% containment with 119,978 acres burned •2020 Nov: Hydrology Study completed & PFHMGP NOI submitted to ADEMA by PCRFCD •2021 March: Supplication submitted to ADEMA by PCRFCD •2021 October 15: RFI1 received from ADEMA •2021 October 18: RFI1 response submitted by PCRFCD •2022 July 14: RFI2 received from ADEMA •2022 July 21: RFI2 response submitted by PCRFCD •2023 Feb 17: Escalation meeting with FEMA •2023 May: PCRFCD requests status and ADEMA responds kick-off meeting to be scheduled •2023 October 10: Award email received •2023 Nov 17: Kick-Off Meeting and Site Visit Bighorn Fire Flood Hazard Mitigation Project CDO Levee Augmentation Design: Solis Engineering Construction: TBD    Stormwater Utility Commission 2.

OV's Path Forward, the community's next 10-year action plan, was launched at the end of October 2023. Community participation is critical to ensuring the plan reflects all demographic groups and geographic areas in the town and produces meaningful results when implemented.  To achieve a high level of community participation, a resident-driven Community Engagement Plan was approved by the Town Council. The Community Engagement Plan details the tools and methods to implement an inclusive, accessible and transparent outreach process.     The process to create OV's Path Forward is divided into three phases. Phase 1: Let's Talk aims to:  Raise awareness and educate the community about the importance of the 10-year plan and their involvement.1. Engage and listen to the community's ideas and perspectives to establish their vision and goals for OV’s future. 2. The result of Phase 1 sets the foundation for the rest of the plan. The plan effects all quality of life aspects, including housing, land use, water, parks and recreation, environment and views, public safety and more. It is imperative for everyone to share their ideas about each topic on OVPathForward.com.  Implementing the Community Engagement Plan (Attachment 1) 1. Awareness and Education: Being intentional with clearly stated objectives and messaging is a guiding principle in the resident-driven, Community Engagement Plan. Consistent messaging about the importance of the plan, the community's involvement, and topics such as housing were promoted through the following:   24 articles or ads 3 podcast episodes 42 social media posts 43 posters were distributed to 19 locations around town. This includes apartments, parks, the Community Rec Center, OV Aquatic Center and along the loop. 30 magnets were placed on town vehicles. 12 large signs were placed around the community.  7 background reports and associated videos were posted online to provide baseline information about OV's history, demographics, housing, economic development and tourism, public safety, roadways and mobility, parks and recreation, and environmental conservation.  2. Engagement: Making outreach efforts sincere, creative, collaborative, interactive and fun is also a guiding principle of the Community Engagement Plan. There are several opportunities to participate online and in the community. To date, the most popular social media posts have been related to upcoming events. The most used online engagement tools include the discussion forums and the mapping tool. Online engagement includes:  13 discussions to share ideas and perspectives on housing, economic development, demographics, challenges and values.  1 mapping tool to identify areas where roadway, trail, bike, pedestrian or other safety improvements  7 polls to quickly understand the priorities and expectations related to transportation, public safety, and environmental conservation. 1 comment board to share ideas on the types of outdoor amenities or activities wanted in the future 1 giveaway game to stimulate online participation  In addition to online participation, several opportunities were launched in the community to meet the people where they are. Between October and January, OV's Path Forward participated in 33 events or meetings. An interactive map is online at www.OVPathForward.com to let the community know where they can find and participate in OV's Path Forward. Examples include:  Community wide events such as National Night Out, HallOVeen Spooktacular and SnOV Youth sports practices at Naranja and Riverfront Parks Recreation areas along the loop, Honeybee Canyon and Big Wash Trailhead Businesses including Stacks Book Club and both Fry's stores Play groups at James D. Kriegh Park Schools such as Ironwood High and Copper Creek Elementary School Booths were at all board and commission meetings. Members, including any public in attendance, were encouraged to share their ideas and perspectives.   Community Participation The community provided 1,736 post-comments and 1,170 online contributions (comments, map pins, votes, etc.) between October and January 25. Three main questions are being answered by the community through events and online discussions. Themes will be derived from the responses to establish the community's values, priorities and expectations for the future. Detailed lists of the individual responses to the following questions along with preliminary analysis to capture key topic areas are attached.   What do you like best about Oro Valley? (Attachment 1) What do you think will be OV's biggest challenges in the next 10 years? (Attachment 2) What should OV be known for? (Attachment 3) So far, the community has said:  Oro Valley is a friendly, clean and safe community. Oro Valley should be known for its natural beauty, views, kindness, and outdoor activities.  Managing growth, specifically as it relates to traffic, water use and services, types of housing available, and having more retail or restaurants are all challenges facing OV in the next 10 years.     Survey and upcoming opportunities There are plenty of opportunities for the community to get involved in shaping Oro Valley's future. On February 1, a community-wide survey will be launched online at OVPathForward.com and conducted by FMR Associates via phone. The survey seeks to understand the community's priorities and expectations for the future. For comparison, it also includes some questions that were asked in 2013. In addition to the survey, the last sections of the background report and associated videos will be published by the end of February. This includes information about water use, supply and conservation, climate and sustainability, land use and zoning, and town finances. Most importantly, new tools to discuss each topic will be available.  The community is highly encouraged to go to OVPathForward.com to learn more and participate in all the discussions.

It is a safe community. All these things make Oro Valley a good place to live, work and retire to. 9 Community Public Safety Local Government 5 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes beauty, cleanliness, safety, high quality government services 7 Community Environment, Open Space or Views Local Government 6 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes The weather and public safety 4 Public Safety Climate and Sustainability 7 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes Public safety, cleanliness, views, variety of neighborhoods, location, amenities.9 Public Safety Environment, Open Space or Views Community 8 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes We just need more drive thru eateries and a few more restaurants like Applebee’s, etc. it would be wonderful to have a skating rink as there are hardly anything for preteens, even teens, to do!  I love how we do not have homeless peddling and our police department is top notch! 2 2 Public Safety Community 9 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes The views, the peacefulness, the school district (not the best but better than most in AZ)6 Environment, Open Space or Views Education 10 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes The views, safety record, our police and fire departments, few homeless, plenty of resident choices (homes and apartments), good roads.   Environment, Open Space or Views Public Safety Housing Traffic and Circulation 11 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes First off, the safety because of the lack of crime. There’s no low income housing. The views are beautiful.  The natural habitats that have so far been kept intact. There’s less traffic (so far). No light pollution. What I don’t like is trying to put 200+ apartments in a city that isn’t equipped for the amount of people we already have.   12 2 Public Safety Environment, Open Space or Views Traffic and Circulation Housing 12 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes Oro Valley is NOT affordable to people we need to staff the OV Hospital and other employers.  We are basically a 65+ /snowbird community, and this does not generate adequate tax revenue for all of the amenities we seek.  I strongly support construction of properly planned, high quality apartment houses to bring young families and professionals to Oro Valley.   This would NOT be "low income" housing. 3 8 Housing 13 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes It’s important that we don’t equate low income housing with crime. The crime that exists in any kind of housing settlement is due to absent landlords that do not keep up their properties. This is actually shown by a ton of evidence and studies. So just because people are not wealthy does not mean they are unsafe. 2 1 Housing Public Safety 14 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes Check out tucson lol 1 1 15 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes Also I never said there is less crime because we don’t have low income housing.  16 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes Thank you, you are correct!  Due to the high mortgage costs, builders are building new, high-quality apartment complexes in our area that will be a net plus for our area.  I come from the Chicago suburb of Naperville, and we had more problems with people in single family homes than apartments.  New "luxury" apartments are next to the Marana Outlet Mall, near the Costco on Thornydale etc.  We need diversity of housing in Oro Valley, but that doesn't mean Cabrini Green.  2 3 Housing 17 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes That may be one reason, but often landlords try to maintain their properties but the renters don’t do their part and this financially overwhelms the owners. There is a correlation between lower income renters and lack of concern/effort. (plus crime!) See south LA as an example or look closer to home. 1 Housing Local Government 18 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes i agree to disagree. I don’t think Oro valley needs to be changed. It’s doing just fine. 5 1 19 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes You must not attend many Town Council meetings.  We have discussed how tax revenue is impacted by absentee property owners (e.g. "snowbirds") who don't spend much money in OV.  Property taxes all go to Pima County.   If folks want a place without apartments and temporary housing, check out Quail Creek or Saddlebrook.  I lived in Quail Creek, no thanks.  1 Housing 20 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes I think my comment got confused with the replying. I did say I agree with you. And I do attend meetings. I actually personally know commissioners on the planning board so that’s a very bold assumption to make. Do you suggest getting rid of options for snowbirds? Like in the rancho vistoso casitas, they do daily/weekly rentals (even though they’re not supposed to do daily ones but I lived there so I know. And fought with the HOA about it), do you think getting rid of those kinds of options would help? Not trying to argue just genuinely asking.  1 21 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes Not, not getting rid of options for snowbirds!  However, we are a town with government, not a resort community like Robson's.  We have to have a tax base to support police, schools, planning etc.   Oro Valley will likely stay like it is without diversification of housing options, and this is a very limited future.  We base a lot of attraction on golf, but it is a dying sport that becomes less sustainable as time goes on.  Look at all of the courses that have closed in our area, and the shuttered Golf Super-Store near Home Depot.  Sad.  I don't want Oro Valley to be another Green Valley.   Economic Development Housing 22 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes Not so, it is having a hard time paying the bills.  Attend a few Town Council meetings to hear about it.   23 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes This comment makes presumptions about the majorityof the kinds of people that live here and what they want that there is no evidence for. 1 1 24 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes What these people want, and what they are going to get, are two different things.  The future of OV relies upon attracting younger families, not snowbirds and retirees.  If that is the lifestyle folks want, they should check out Quail Creek or Saddlebrooke.  1 Community Page 15 of 21 Count Date Range Resident Online Comment Likes Dislikes Focus Area Focus Area Focus Area Focus Area 25 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes I like the visual openness and beauty the most: the Catalinas and surrounding mountains, saguaros, (landscaped and maintained) cacti and desert plants along the streets and medians, Catalina State Park, and low level buildings and homes that blend into the landscape. 9 Environment, Open Space or Views 26 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes Open spaces, Walking trails, bicycle trails good streets and friendly people.6 Environment, Open Space or Views Parks and Recreation Community Traffic and Circulation 27 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes Upside: - Police Department - we feel very safe secure here. - Living Standards - no trashy properties in view, streets are well maintained, signage is well controlled and minimalized.  Downside: - Apartment and Small Lot Size Construction approvals are scary as it is bringing population density that we moved here to avoid.  13 1 Public Safety Traffic and Circulation Land use and development Managing Growth 28 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes Unfortunately, Town of Oro Valley cannot exist on minimal tax revenue generated by snowbirds and retirees.  We are too expensive for young families, and we need housing for our OV Hospital nurses, dental technicians and others.  I support construction of apartment housing with careful input from planning department professionals.   1 10 Housing Finances 29 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes I think it is valuable to fully diversify our housing so that anyone of any economic level can live and work in Oro Valley. You are right, they should not be the town of temporary residents. So many things will suffer as a result. 1 3 Economic Development Housing 30 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes Absolutely!  I'm a retired AZ teacher, and I know that Vail (a similar community) does not have affordable housing for their teachers.  Young families and career professionals will be the fuel for our future growth.  We don't want to be like Vail and offer mini-houses for teachers!  https://www.kgun9.com/news/local-news/vail-school-district-attracting-teachers-with-tiny-homes 2 Housing 31 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes I'm particularly impressed with the quality of our political and town leadership!  Mayor Winfield is doing a fantastic job, and his background in landscape architecture is evident by the care he shows to our planning and development.  OVPD, Golder Ranch FD and other city services are excellent, and my wife and I feel very safe in OV.  Unsung heroes including Director Abraham and our OV Water Utility Department, as they protect and maintain our water supply and ensure that we have a sustainable supply of excellent water for the future.   2 Local Government Public Safety Water 32 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes We are the functional equivalent of a 55+ community like Quail Creek and do NOT have adequate housing for our teachers, young professionals and medical staff.  I support properly designed & planned, multifamily residential units including apartments.  Retired snowbirds do NOT generate adequate tax revenue for our town.   1 6 Housing 33 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes What does “properly designed” mean? Also, what do you consider to be the maximum price (for purchasing or renting) for these people? 1 34 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes When talking about proper design, I also think that we should not have any grass anywhere. I was very disappointed that when we had changes made at our Oro Valley community center, we had the opportunity to not replant any grass and yet we did. This is the type of decision making that should not happen, we should be building with water saving landscape all the time.  When we bought our house, we had to spend serious money to remove northern based plants in this new construction that we did not in fact, billed ourselves, in order to stop irrigation requirements. If we zone properly and have requirements that at the time we build anything new we also require zero water scapes, this will assure a more healthy and planned environment  3 Water Environment, Open Space or Views 35 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes I would still appreciate a reply as to what constitutes affordable housing for young professionals, which includes teachers. Housing 36 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes Tract housing in OV is very expensive.  Our 3 bedroom room was close to $0.5 M, and this is typical.  Young graduate teachers would do best with apartment buildings that included security, mixed development and adequate/safe parking.  I lived/taught in Sahuarita AZ, the place has almost no apartments, and it is a struggle for teachers, dental assistants and nurses to work there.  That is one reason why the Green Valley Hospital shut down, I don't want that to happen to OV Hospital.  Housing 37 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes "Properly designed" means properly funded apartment construction, including adequate parking, security lighting and access to roadways.  OV has an outstanding Planning Department that keeps a close watch on things, and they really put developers through the wringer to build here.  OV also has an excellent water department, and Director Abraham keeps close watch of new development to ensure that our water needs are conserved.  Land use and development Community 38 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes First, OV  is safe and secure, thanks to our OV Police Department!  Also, our homes maintain their value due to pride of home ownership, enforcement of reasonable HOA rules, low multifamily housing units (apartments, condos, townhomes), reasonable traffic, and affordability.  Great place to live and work, whether with an entire family or not! 5 Public Safety Community 39 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes When I ride my bike I always am amazed by the mountain views and the design of the neighborhood streets - it reminds me of a resort community that I would got to in Florida, or Hawaii. All we need is an ocean, but that's really only 1 days drive to the Pacific. 4 Environment, Open Space or Views Traffic and Circulation 40 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes The beauty of nature and convenience of health care and shopping. 4 Environment, Open Space or Views Community 41 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes We were attracted to OV because of it's reputation as a safe community as well as the exceptional views and access to nature. We like that it has well maintained homes in nicely planned neighborhoods.  6 Public Safety Environment, Open Space or Views Community 42 Oct.25 - Nov.25 No There’s a problem with retail vacancy in the shopping centers in Oro Valley. The developers are charging excessive rents and with online shopping becoming more popular, retailers are finding it hard to survive.  I don’t know what taxes are assessed to retailers but the developers need to pay their share to keep businesses viable in our community.  4 Economic Development Page 16 of 21 Count Date Range Resident Online Comment Likes Dislikes Focus Area Focus Area Focus Area Focus Area 43 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes The vacancies in a lack of a “center of town” really turned us off initially when we moved here in 2018. We’ve lived in several cities and towns in the US and elsewhere, and loved walk, ability, and access to shopping and government at the same time in the same space. It’s possible in Oro Valley if we really manage the use of space. Several opportunities exist for a center of town. We will also want to think carefully about public transportation options for all ages, we need to bring the town together. My concern was that for a time Oro Valley just looked like a bunch of strip malls and that’s not a draw.   3 Economic Development Traffic and Circulation Downtown 44 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes It seems like Oro Valley approves chain and fast food restaurants. I talked to a vendor who has 2 restaurants in OV and 1 in Scottsdale and I asked him why they aren't in OV. He said that all the approvals and time delays for a business in OV make it impossible for them to open in OV. When we moved here 10 years ago, our builder told us OV is very slow on inspections and approvals so that usually adds 2-3 months on the home building process. Why is/was that the case?  2 Economic Development Local Government 45 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes Having no "center of town" is a huge problem. OV seems to have tried to make Steam Pump Ranch an area for various events and also the Marketplace with art shows and the lighting of the OV Christmas tree. However, someone has missed the mark on attracting people to these area consistently. The opening of Van Gogh event in the Marketplace brought people to the area and the area restaurants. That was a great strategy. Why can't planning revolve around revitalizing that area BEFORE we build apartments and hotels that can support the interest of that area? I come from an area outside of Chicago that has events to incorporate the community, such as Scarecrow Festival. A fall festival that has families, businesses and organizations(girl scouts, churches, etc) that have scarecrow competition around the town, with all sorts of events with food, storytelling for kids, music, etc. With the way OV has developed, I am not sure how you would try to develop community traditions that everyone looks forward to each year. 3 Economic Development Downtown 46 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes Good comment!  Malls nationwide are going through hard times, and many of these are now being converted to other uses such as housing.  The Foothills Mall just south of us on La Cholla Ave. has been completely leveled, and they are building a new project including apartments, restaurants, and entertainment.  Our Marketplace Mall (WalMart etc.) was supposed to be redeveloped, but the developer has had problems and now are asking Town of OV to fund some of the development (putting the drainage wash below grade, which will cost $millions).  I'm guessing that only a small part of the original plan will ever be built unless another developer steps in.   Economic Development 47 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes I like the safety, the friendliness of the people and the service providers, how well kept both the private and the public properties are, the lack of light pollution and feelings of ruralness while still having the amenities of suburbia. 5 Public Safety Community 48 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes The walking and bike paths. It is safe for athletics, as well as regular walking for people of all ages. 3 Traffic and Circulation Parks and Recreation 49 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes I also love the dark skies at night. Whatever Policy decision was made to reduce the nighttime light produced by homes and businesses was the right one. 4 Environment, Open Space or Views 50 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes Good comment!  The AZ Dark Skies Initiative was developed to help protect the utility of our many astronomy telescope facilities such as Mt. Wrightson's "Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory" and others.  This discusses the reasoning and some changes being proposed.  https://www.gvnews.com/news/lighting-code-updates-coming-after-nearly-a- decade/article_9ed1fa5a-9986-11eb-948e-a7dcc5c1a296.html Environment, Open Space or Views 51 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes Natural beauty, open space, views, dark skies, recreational amenities, and responsible/controlled development under the leadership of Mayor Joe Windfield. 1 2 Environment, Open Space or Views Parks and Recreation 52 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes I love the natural beauty of Oro Valley- the trails for biking, and trails in state parks for hiking. I also really like the variety of grocery stores and restaurants in Oro Valley. 4 Environment, Open Space or Views Parks and Recreation Economic Development 53 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes 1) Safety, 2) Natural beauty, 3) Well-maintained, accessible public spaces (bike / pedestrian paths, parks, hiking), 4) Accessible services (post office, library, grocery, gas, restaurants), 5) Friendly people engaged in the local community. 3 Public Safety Environment, Open Space or Views Parks and Recreation 54 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes My husband and I moved to Oro Valley a little over one year ago due to the cleanliness of the area, it’s safety record, police reputation, proximity to shopping needs, biking, hiking, walking trails, the beauty of the Catalina’s, etc. While I agree that there’s a need for more affordable housing…. I don’t pretend to have the answer.  It makes me sad every time I drive by the Marketplace area with all the empty storefronts. 5 Public Safety Community Housing 55 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes Yeah, I don't know how that happened!  I've never seen a vacant Best Buy store anywhere else!  It's hard to run a town economy with property owners who are only here a few months per year.  We need to pay for schools, police, city services and everything else with just a fraction of the money that other communities receive.  Apartments will help to bring much-needed healthcare workers to Oro Valley, just ask your physicians and dentists if they support this.   1 Economic Development 56 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes Active and effective law enforcement 2 Public Safety 57 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes The traffic level is great (coming from someone who moved from Florida).  Also, the number of events in the area and the "town" atmosphere. 1 Traffic and Circulation Community 58 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes OV has built with a connection to native plants and animals. It shows in the green belts and access to the river beds and small creeks. Mountain Lion, Coyote, Mule Deer and many birds are in abundance because open space is respected. 3 Environment, Open Space or Views 59 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes Police department is outstanding.

I would ask what does todays tax revenue less city cost to maintain quality of OV we have today look like in 10 year budget plan. If the city needs to increase revenue then it’s either add to tax base via more payers or increase tax on existing payers. I know there are any more complexities then that when operating city budget and planning especially when you are try to improve amenities and quality of live.

Public Safety Traffic and Circulation Parks and Recreation 69 Nov. 26-Dec. 25 Yes Our water supply and quality is the envy of the rest of the region....since we are a very young community (incorporated in 1974), we did not have the polluting industries that Tucson and other towns had (copper mines, cotton fields, airports, military bases, etc.).  Therefore, our groundwater quality is excellent (no forever chemicals!), and thanks to Water Dept Director Peter Abraham and his professional crew, our water supply is secure and assured for the future.  It is no wonder that so many people from around the USA seek to move here!  0 0 Water 70 Nov. 26-Dec. 25 Yes First off, the safety because of the lack of crime. There’s no low income housing. The views are beautiful. The natural habitats that have so far been kept intact. There’s less traffic (so far). No light pollution.

The two things I like most about it though are that it feels safe and there's very little traffic. I've moved around the country trying to find a place where I could enjoy both of these things and I found it here in OV. I don't like seeing all of the housing development that's been going on lately because I feel like if things keep going in this direction all of the things that attracted me to OV will disappear and I'll have to move again; probably out of state. We don't need to add more housing to OV because the surrounding cities are doing enough of that, and those residents will travel to OV to shop. We need to focus on incentivizing more businesses to come to OV not build more housing. 1 0 Public Safety Traffic and Circulation Land use and development 85 Dec. 26 - Jan. 25 Yes RESPONSE COMMENT: Agree with this statement.

We need specialty niche stores and a truly unique shopping center unlike anything the neighboring towns have. Imagine something like the Irvine Spectrum in Irvine, California in our Oro Valley Marketplace. We already have a large retailer so instead of Target we have Walmart and we already have a movie theater there along with some places to eat. What we're missing there is more ambiance and of course those unique specialty stores.  I'm not sure we can blame the failure of that Best Buy on Oro Valley because big box stores all over the nation are struggling and I honestly can't remember the last time I went inside a Best Buy....it's been since before Covid. 0 0 Economic Development 90 Dec. 26 - Jan. 25 Yes RESPONSE COMMENT: Being in retail for 25 years, small shopping centers are not the solution.  It is almost impossible to survive in the small niche business with online shopping and Amazon.  We do not have the year round population of CA and part of our 5 mile retail radius is a non-inhabited mountain.  Trust me, it’s not just big box stores that are suffering. We had a store in La Encantada for 5 years.  Apple has always been the busiest store at that mall.  The store turnover in that mall is huge. 0 0 91 Dec. 26 - Jan. 25 Yes RESPONSE COMMENT: Nice idea, BUT Oro Valley doesn't exist in a vacuum.  We are being out-competed....I was at La Encantata Mall the other day, it was packed.  We have nothing that can compare with that (Apple store especially).   Plus, this community keeps shunning the development we need including sorely needed apartments.  How will we compete with "Uptown" development, now under construction at the site of the old Foothills Mall?  Answer - we won't.  https://headuptown.com 0 0 92 Dec. 26 - Jan. 25 Yes RESPONSE COMMENT: We don't need to.  Just drive to the Foothills Mall.1 1 93 Dec. 26 - Jan. 25 Yes RESPONSE COMMENT: Fine, but leave your tax dollars in Tucson, not Oro Valley!  OV depends primarily on sales tax for revenues, so your answer is very short-sighted.   We need a younger, professional population base to continue to grow this town.  High-quality apartments aren't the only answer, but they will be a big part of the solution.   All of the young UA graduates I've been interviewing want to live in Tucson or Scottsdale.  We need young workers in our bioscience industry base.  https://www.chooseorovalley.com/Key-Industries/Bioscience-in-Oro-Valley 0 0 Economic Development Housing 94 Dec. 26 - Jan. 25 Yes RESPONSE COMMENT: I agree; no more high density housing.

First, the bicycling infrastructure. The Canada Del Oro (CDO) bike path, along with the wide bike lanes on most roadways make it a wonderful place for biking. The proximity to Catalina State Park and other hiking trailheads is also great.  The Recreation Center and Aquatic Center are both wonderful facilities as well. The golf courses, parks and proximity to outdoor open space (AZ trust land) are great to have nearby. 1 0 Parks and Recreation 97 Dec. 26 - Jan. 25 Yes OV is a great place to live. Walking trails (paved and unpaved), cycling opportunities, sufficient retail and restaurants in OV and nearby, a strong sense of safety. I do have a question about whether a paved walking/cycling path on Naranja from La Canada to First Ave is planned near term or long term. I think Naranja would have been a better candidate for this type of path than the recently completed path on the west side of La Canada. There was already a sidewalk the full length of La Canada on the east side but Naranja has no such path. 3 0 Traffic and Circulation Page 19 of 21 Count Date Range Resident Online Comment Likes Dislikes Focus Area Focus Area Focus Area Focus Area 98 Dec. 26 - Jan. 25 Yes Public roads are clean.

If we zone properly and have requirements that at the time we build anything new we also require zero water scapes, this will assure a more healthy and planned environment. 0 0 Climate and Sustainability 108 Dec. 26 - Jan. 25 Yes RESPONSE COMMENT: Good reply!  Xeriscaping (natural desert plantings) is the way to go down here.  2 0 Climate and Sustainability 109 Dec. 26 - Jan. 25 Yes I would still appreciate a reply as to what constitutes affordable housing for young professionals, which includes teachers. 110 Dec. 26 - Jan. 25 Yes RESPONSE COMMENT: Look around.  New, very attractive apartment developments are being built on La Cholla Blvd near the old Foothills mall, near the Marana Outlet Mall, etc.  Towns compete with each other for industry and jobs, and Vice Mayor Melanie Barrett brought this up in the public meeting on Jan 10 - she lamented that the UACI property was being developed for long-term care vs. "job creating construction."  This is what we should be building to support -  https://www.chooseorovalley.com/Key-Industries/Bioscience-in-Oro-Valley 1 0 Housing 111 Dec. 26 - Jan. 25 Yes Oro Valley could be a leading center for bioscience research (Roche Diagnostics), computer technology (Honeywell Aerospace) and other high-revenue generating industries.  This will require construction of affordable housing for graduate engineers, technicians and other support employees.  https://www.chooseorovalley.com/Key-Industries/Bioscience-in-Oro-Valley 2 3 Economic Development 112 Dec. 26 - Jan. 25 Yes I love Oro Valley even though I live in Tucson, but I love the wide selection of restaurants. I'm a foodie, so that is a very positive thing for me! 0 0 Economic Development 113 Dec. 26 - Jan. 25 Yes I love Oro Valley as a beautiful, safe place for seniors to live with amenities they can afford and not fear crime.  I do not think "affordable" housing should have a place here.  If you haven't the means to live in this neighborhood, you need to live somewhere else.  Let Tucson deal with the inevitable problems that follow the diversity philosophy.  Those who have lived in cities across the US know exactly what I'm talking about. 1 0 Housing 114 Dec. 26 - Jan. 25 Yes RESPONSE COMMENT: I think it is valuable to fully diversify our housing so that anyone of any economic level can live and work in Oro Valley. You are right, they should not be the town of temporary residents. So many things will suffer as a result. 115 Dec. 26 - Jan. 25 Yes RESPONSE COMMENT: Diversity invariably brings crime.  There are no exceptions.0 1 116 Dec. 26 - Jan. 25 Yes Absolutely! I'm a retired AZ teacher, and I know that Vail (a similar community) does not have affordable housing for their teachers. Young families and career professionals will be the fuel for our future growth.

The Town needs to address what this increasingly older population means for its future. As with other communities in Arizona, the cost of housing in Oro Valley continues to rise. Housing affordability is a major issue that affects those who work here, including service workers such as police officers, teachers, medical workers, retail employees, etc. These people should not have to commute to work in Oro Valley because they cannot afford to live here. 2 3 Demographics Housing 4 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes Infrastructure maintenance and upgrades; keeping the same high level of public safety; identifying ways to continue to expand the tax base while preserving the character of the town; shaping mixed use developments and redevelopments so that sufficient and upscale retail amenities are nearby or adjacent for residents; wildlife preservation; keeping aging private commercial and residential properties in compliance with aesthetic, health, and safety standards 5 0 Finances Public Safety Land use and development, Economic Development Environment, Open Space, or Views 5 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes Crime, congestion, high paying employers 4 1 Economic Development Economic Development 6 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes Housing affordability. Attracting more restaurants and businesses while keeping a good balance of opened areas and protecting wildlife. I believe is perfectly acceptable to bring apartments, to continue with the Marketplace planned changes and a variety of new businesses. Unlike many residents who are against anything new, I feel our community is still lacking from having a variety of restaurants, stores and entertainment. Maintaining a good balance we could be able to have it all and still maintain our small town feel. We just can't stop progress. 2 0 Housing Economic Development Environment, Open Space, or Views 7 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes Sustaining the low crime rate.  Attracting more employers, less apartments and more homes, no more parks and playgrounds (plenty for a 47,000 population and 1/3 seniors), another high end restaurant, drive thru's, keep the bedroom community mentality. 4 2 Public Safety Economic Development Housing 8 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes The biggest challenge for Oro Valley will be high density, housing, uncontrolled growth, and people saturation.2 1 Housing Managing Growth 9 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes It is always amazing to me how many people scream about affordable housing. If the cost to build a unit would mean $1,500 per unit per month, is the developer supposed to charge $1,000 a month so it is affordable? That is not how it works kids. 2 0 Housing 10 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes Whether people wish to admit it or not, and yes I know this will upset some, the older generation is aging out of older homes in OV and families with children live here year round, not just part of the year. This Tucson community is overly saturated with golf courses (36 within a 15 mile radius) and water is going to be the BIGGEST challenge the entire state faces.  We will see increasing rates of courses faced with financial woes and closure like Rancho Vistoso, Skyline Country Club and Arizona National as water costs and heat indexes continue to rise and outpace membership dues. If growth is what the town wants it needs to invest in family and child friendly companies that can service year round activity and generate sales tax revenue rather than focusing efforts on part time winter visitors. Out of state investors buying up the afordable housing in the area and turning it into VBRO's which do not keep money in our community year round.  It creates and economic model of peaks and valleys for revenue which most businesses can't survive on during the summer. The park needs to be finished, and it should install a large shaded structure for basketball courts or a skate park. Biking is huge and a family friendly mountain bike park like Fantasy Isalnd out east would do vey well here.  Would be great if there was indoor options on this side of town for families to enjoy like skate country, or Next Level arcade that caters to both adults and children, or Playformance where kids can go do parkour for an hour and half an and mom and dad can go to the pub next door for a local beer and a burger.  Look at things like the Corbett where they integrated a restraunt, pickelball courts and live music or Culinary Dropout with imaginitive community based seating in a youthful environment.  What about doing a permanent "food truck marketplace" with outdoor seating under shade for people to get together to watch UA games? We need a draw to Oro valley that is not exclusively centered around those 65 and older and golf.        2 1 Economic Development Community Demographics 11 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes Developing a greater sense of community by developing a central square concept as is found throughout Europe.  A central meeting place with great restaurants, pubs, and small retail shops.  Oro Valley Marketplace would be a good option for such a concept.  The current plan for apartments and hotels at the Marketplace would simply increase congestion and pollution.   2 1 Community Downtown 12 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes The greatest challenge will be how to develop responsibility while preserving views and open spaces and also taking into consideration the increase in traffic that will follow on roads that are already very congested and unsafe.  1 Environment, Open Space or Views Traffic and Circulation Managing Growth 13 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes I think the challenges will be increased residential areas, which will add traffic, pressures on recreational endeavors and the environment.Traffic and Circulation Parks and Recreation en Page 13 of 19 Count Date Range Resident Online Comment Likes Dislikes Focus Area Focus Area Focus Area Focus Area 14 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes PROPERTY TAXES - TOV currently does not have a property tax.  Revenues come from builder fees and sales tax.  How long can this continue?  When all the property is developed, will an annexation strategy work?  Is it just a Ponzi scheme where we are borrowing from Peter to pay Paul and in the process potentially bringing housing and infrastructure into TOV that to not meet TOV standards?  TOV staff would lead you to believe that we just need to add more "affordable housing" as people who live in these dwellings are younger and generate more sales tax.  I'm not buying that.  A competent finance person should be able to develop a financial model to tell us exactly what types of housing we need to avoid a property tax.  It may prove that a property tax is inevitable and maybe that is OK in order to retain the Oro Valley brand. AFFORDABLE HOUSING vs MARKET DRIVEN HOUSING - I am not opposed to apartments. They serve a purpose in all communities. However, people (residents and TOV staff) need to understand that low-income housing describes residences designed to support renters struggling to keep up with rising rental costs (i.e. public housing, Section 8). Affordable housing defines properties that take up less than 30% of a renter’s income. Unlike Section 8, affordable housing does not have a specific federal program or funding source. Instead, it is often developed through partnerships between private developers, non-profit organizations, and local governments. Land in TOV is expensive. Who/how is affordable housing going to subsidized? Does TOV have a slush fund I'm unaware of to fund affordable housing? Build apartments responsibly so that they meet code and design standards, and let supply and demand set market pricing. All the hype about living and working in the same community is just that: hype. I have never lived in the community where I work. If people cannot afford to live here, so be it. TRAFFIC - Need better planning to accommodate enviable growth.  Need to fix some areas that were not laid out with growth in mind.  The NW corner of 1st Ave/Oracle and the Woodburn/Safeway alley mess come to mind. CONTINUED RESPONSIBLE/CONTROLLED DEVELOPEMENT - Property owners have a right to develop their properties per how it was zoned.  They also have the right to request variances.  Town Council needs to consider how any variances are going to impact the community as a whole and make responsible decisions.  WATER - Not my top concern as I think there is a lot of conservation that can be put in place to mitigate shortages of water.  I think one step in the right direction is the state prohibiting Saudi Ariba leases to grow alfalfa. We also need to lobby for a reallocation of Colorado River water as it was based on 1922 compact.  Arizona needs to get its fair share.   2 1 Finances Housing Managing Growth, Water Traffic and Circulation 15 Nov. 26 - Dec. 25 Yes RESPONSE COMMENT: I agree.0 0 Finances Economic Development Housing 16 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes Broader economic pressures - inflation leading to increased expenses for the town and recession leading to decreased revenue. How to maintain the active population needed to traffic businesses in the community in such an environment could be a challenge. 1 Economic Development 17 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes Keeping the "town" environment and insuring that the community doesn't get too big.  Keeping the community clean and managing development so it doesn't look like Tucson. 1 Managing Growth 18 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes It will be a challenge to not sell more water meters. As long as AG takes most of the water housing has little left. Trying to house all the employees of the community is a goal decades too late to start thinking about. 1 Water Housing 19 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes Growth!! To many new housing (specifically RENTAL UNITS)2 Managing Growth Housing 20 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes I agree!  I teach at UA, and graduating medical students are as poor as churchmice due to their exorbitant loans.  We need to keep our Oro Valley Hospital and satellite medical service offices staffed with competent workers, and most cannot afford our $500,000 tract homes.  Folks seem very scared about rental units, but it is all dependent on the developer and having faith in Mayor Winfield & the Town Council to regulate this properly.   Housing 21 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes Xerascaping seems to be a challenge with a current failure. Turfgrass, as decoration, has no place in an arid environment. We have it already and the proposal that came before the city council to include an acre at the OV Marketplace should sound alarms. Any developer suggesting we install an acre of turgrass should be fired and escorted out of town. 1 Environment, Open Space or Views 22 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes Biggest challenge will be to keep some open space and not have the developers destroying the open space we currently have which is getting smaller and smaller by the minute.  No one came to Oro Valley to have it be the crowded place we came from.  By constantly re-zoning to high density homes jammed into a once beautiful piece of land isn't the quality of life we came here for.  The traffic has gotten very bad, apartments all over town now which brings a transient population, storage facilities added to block the mountains.  Don't get me started on the fact that we will be running out of water and the developers don't care.  Get their money for Rancho de Vista 45 and leave town. 4 Environment, Open Space or Views Traffic and Circulation Water 23 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes Attracting new business, housing affordability, keeping the small-town feel with local businesses (not a bunch of chains), creating a free community center for residents 2 Economic Development 24 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes Bingo, you nailed it!!  We don't want to be another Green Valley AZ (average age 72.9 years), we need more affordable housing to attract young workers in medical, engineering and business fields.  Marana AZ is already outpacing us in this regards.   Modern, well-managed apartment units will allow us to attract and keep the nurses, medical assistants, graduate doctors and others who are starting their career paths.  The UACI (Univ of AZ Center for Innovation) complex in Oro Valley is a great potential magnet for high-paying jobs and high-tech businesses.  Forward!  Housing 25 Oct.25 - Nov.25 Yes My wife and I used to live in Green Valley AZ.  They did not have an incorporated town government, no police department (they depend upon Pima Co. Sheriff) and, most importantly, no apartments.  Because of the high cost of living in Green Valley, only retirees and snow birds can afford to live there (average age 72.9).  This is a major reason why the Green Valley Hospital failed and closed, they could not attract physicians to live close enough to service the emergency room.  Nurses and techs had to travel from Rio Rico to staff the hospital.  Apartments do NOT mean "tenements," go down to Marana and see the beautiful apartments they are building next to the Outlet Mall.  New apartments are also being built on La Cholla in Tucson near the old Foothills Mall.  We need tax revenues, and a diverse population will enable sustainability.  We are very much in favor of planned growth and diversity.  Housing Land use and development Managing Growth Page 14 of 19 Count Date Range Resident Online Comment Likes Dislikes Focus Area Focus Area Focus Area Focus Area 26 Nov. 26 - Dec. 25 Yes It seems that traffic is getting worse every day, and the number of accidents is increasing.

But why come here and try to change it?  For your information the last administration was voted out because everything was rezoned and the majority of the people of Oro Valley like it here and we like the low density, mountain views, animals living among us, the low crime non transient lifestyle.  So, as I told you in my prior posts to you...Oro Valley was founded in 1974 to NOT BE TUCSON.  If you want apartments there is Marana  and Tucson, and/or travel up the road to PHX where Mesa and Chandler have exploded. Better yet Casa Grande seems unclaimed and you can go there with your let's get apartments all over the place song.  I said just in the post above we must agree to disagree, but you came back at me.  So read this carefully, don't bother me again or I will report you to the moderator. 0 2 Housing 31 Nov. 26 - Dec. 25 Yes RESPONSE COMMENT: From the report just published: At current interest rates, a household would need $136,700 in annual income to purchase a $500,000 home, and $177,700 for a $650,000 home, the report said. Court ticked off a list of average pay for occupations – hotel, motel and resort desk clerks; retail salespeople; cooks; nursing assistants, waiters and waitresses; construction laborers; firefighters; pharmacy technicians; school teachers; paramedics; police and sheriff’s patrol officers; licensed practical nurses and registered nurses – for whom “ownership is well out of reach” if they are single-income households. 1 0 Housing 32 Nov. 26 - Dec. 25 Yes RESPONSE COMMENT: People don't want to work where they can't live and they don't go to stores and restaurants here either if they live somewhere else. 1 0 Housing Economic Development 33 Nov. 26 - Dec. 25 Yes RESPONSE COMMENT: Commenting again on this one....I moved to OV to escape overcrowding but it's becoming more and more like the crowded place I left behind.  The word exclusive comes to mind and why is it a bad word?  There were places I just couldn't afford to live when I was younger.  I worked hard, and guess what...was able to upgrade.  STOP the apartments and catering to a transient population.  There are plenty of apartment around us that we don't have to have one on top of very expensive homes. 2 3 Housing 34 Nov. 26 - Dec. 25 Yes RESPONSE COMMENT: Feels like a bourgeois town to me, no matter how much housing costs. 1 1 Housing 35 Nov. 26 - Dec. 25 Yes Water conservation by the town!

No thank you. As people who live here year round, we are invested in this community.  We don't just need a fancy apartment to escape the winter.  A proposed apartment was recently not approved near us.  The proposed units, managed by an out of state company not on site, was planning to have 2 story units looking down into people's yards.  Again, that's not what people came to Oro Valley to experience.  There are many rentals on Oracle Road and in Tucson.  It's not a bad thing to distinguish our community to be the option for those that can and want to live here.   1 0 Housing Economic Development 43 Nov. 26 - Dec. 25 Yes RESPONSE TO EARLIER COMMENT: Did you take the time to read what I wrote?  There are apartments just not where maybe you want them.  Recently, was at the car wash and spoke to a man who was leaving our town due to overdevelopment.  People can get to jobs....its called driving.  We will agree to disagree. 2 2 Housing Economic Development 44 Nov. 26 - Dec. 25 Yes RESPONSE COMMENT: Not everyone has a car or can afford to drive.  It appears that the long-delayed Marketplace Mall redevelopment is going to proceed.  This is very good news for Oro Valley.  https://www.tucsonlocalmedia.com/explorernews/news/article_be1ff302-938f-11ee-a37b- 3335e3a38b04.html 0 0 Economic Development Page 15 of 19 Count Date Range Resident Online Comment Likes Dislikes Focus Area Focus Area Focus Area Focus Area 45 Nov. 26 - Dec. 25 Yes RESPONSE COMMENT:  I hadn't read what you wrote the second time as I just saw it posted.  I have heard other people in those professions say they can't afford to live here.

I do not. I commuted to NYC many years ago. Took 1.5 hours one way. A drive to an apartment complex not in OV is not unheard of. Then..someday have a big house at the base of the Catalina’s. Why can’t anyone work and then make good? Why is it necessary for my dream home to be destroyed by apartments? Certainly doctors have the earning potential and it’s so unnecessary to make our town more of a transient rental place. Last word…earn it. Why can’t there be a place where people move to when they have worked  hard for decades and made it? Everyone wants instant gratification.  3 1 Housing 48 Nov. 26 - Dec. 25 Yes RESPONSE COMMENT:  Nobody is talking about "next to your home."  The planned luxury apartments to be built where the old Vistoso golf clubhouse used to stand was a necessary deal in order to finalize the amazing Vistoso Trails Nature Preserve, and other apartments being planned will have a low roofline so as to not obstruct views.   Your comment about "doctors have earning potential" shows real ignorance of the realities of our modern university system and college loans... every medical student I've ever known in Chicago and down here has had to scrape to get by their first few years.  Apartment rents in this area go for about $2,000 per month.  I don't want instant gratification, I want economic sustainability for Oro Valley.  Younger people living in apartments generate more tax revenue than retired golfers.   OV is still recovering from the economic effects of COVID-19.  https://www.orovalleyaz.gov/files/assets/public/v/1/documents/finance/other-financial-documents/know-your-towns-budget-fy19-20.pdf 1 1 Housing Finances 49 Nov. 26 - Dec. 25 Yes RESPONSE COMMENT: Since we are all neighbors here and doing this comment section, I assume we all care deeply about our community.  I do take offense at the "ignorant" comment since I am far from it.  I sense you care deeply about the medical community, it would be safe to say most people do.  However, you are so intently focused on their needs.  I moved my family across the country not to have apartments, and now I'm surrounded by apartments. My children have gone to school here and now they are Arizonans, so there is no option to leave.  There are many, many apartment complexes surrounding us (Just for example...down Tangerine Road past Fry's) so, there are options.  There have been places in my life that I just couldn't afford until a little later down the road.  I feel apartments bring way too many cars into our community and that could also be said for the abundance of new high density homes.  Tangerine used to be a two lane road and now it's a highway where a left turn w/o a light is a scary endeavor.  Your point about younger people spending more than older people, I think is flawed.  My kids are downtown people, where as we spend most of our time here in town.  Lastly, I would like to preserve the beauty of the desert.  Once it's gone, it's gone.  Our animals are seen less frequently as we are encroaching on their space.  Most of these developers are from out of state.  They make their money and then leave town.  I think water is a concern here as well.  I think we are in agreement that we want the best for Oro Valley, but we live here all year not just when it's snows someplace else.  My family would like to see the beauty of Oro Valley be preserved since it was established in 1974 not be Tucson....let's keep it that way cause it's getting way too similar.  0 1 Environment, Open Space or Views Housing 50 Nov. 26 - Dec. 25 Yes RESPONSE COMMENT: Well-thought-out reply, thank you!  Oro Valley is at risk of turning into another Green Valley, which cannot afford its own police force, allowed a fine/new hospital to fail, and cannot attract high-paying employers.  Like Oro Valley, Green Valley has failed commercial districts and limited living arrangements for young professionals.  Sahuarita AZ has a very nice development (Rancho Sahuarita) which attracts many young professionals with children, and I've seen Sahuarita grow into a very nice town.  I'm sorry you do not like to live around change, but Town of Oro Valley Planning Department are not pushovers, and they spend a great deal of time and energy evaluating every project.  Mayor Winfield has a background in landscape architecture, and he is committed to balancing sustainable growth with attractive surroundings.  If you object to particular projects (I don't like the storage locker developments), show up to Town Council meetings and fill out a green card to speak.  We have a few apartments in Oro Valley, go look at the new "luxury apartments" being built near the Marana Outlet Mall out east on Tangerine Road.  That is our competition for younger residents.   0 0 Economic Development Housing Page 16 of 19 Count Date Range Resident Online Comment Likes Dislikes Focus Area Focus Area Focus Area Focus Area 51 Nov. 26 - Dec. 25 Yes RESPONSE COMMENT: I'm glad we were able to have a civil conversation about a topic that is important to us.  I have been to meetings at the town council regarding rezoning.  The dreaded yellow sign means to me more desert going away, more crowds, and more of what Oro Valley used to be becoming no more.  Really don't want the town to become a Chandler, a Mesa, or even Tucson.  As I said in prior post, town was established in 1974 to preserve the beauty of the desert since Tucson was being built up.  It's not that I don't want to live around change...it's the type of change.  Came to OV for peace, space and a better quality of life.  If I had wanted crowding, I would have stayed in my home state.  You mention luxury apartments often.  At one of the town meetings, an Oro Valley police officer stated that apartments are where most of the town problems occur.  Your plan for the medical community to rent these lux apartments is heart felt plan, but if they can't fill them, they will get the money from another demographic by lowering rent.  You have mentioned the new giant apartment complex by the outlets.  That seems very drivable to any part of town to me.  Also, another giant complex has been added by LaCholla and Magee.  Went to the marketplace yesterday and drove down to Oracle Road, where they have apartments.  During the tenure of  the previous mayor, it seemed no project was not re-zoned.  The previous town plan was basically altered from what the majority had voted on.  I will never think that apartments and high density houses are a good thing and I am assuming that you will not agree.  So in closing, let us agree to disagree. 0 0 Land use and development Housing 52 Nov. 26 - Dec. 25 Yes RESPONSE COMMENT: PlayTennis, the Marketplace Mall project will proceed.  Instead of wiping out valuable desert land, they will build on existing "brownfield" land that is an eyesore.  https://www.tucsonlocalmedia.com/explorernews/news/article_be1ff302-938f-11ee-a37b-3335e3a38b04.html 0 0 Economic Development 53 Nov. 26 - Dec. 25 Yes RESPONSE COMMENT: Thanks, that was well thought out!  Golf is a dying sport....the young have little to no interest, and AZ is full of closed courses including Vistoso Trails (now a nature preserve), Canoa Hills and others.  I'm hoping we can bring some more technology-based firms like Honeywell Aerospace and Roche to OV, they pay top dollar and hire young professionals.  I'm very optimistic about our future, but we need more of a mix of housing options for younger folks who don't have a retirement nest-egg.  Look at Vail....teachers cannot afford to live in Vail AZ, so they are building micro-homes for them.  https://youtu.be/_l2gD6SdG78?si=yBxNRfFWcsXgZd3z 1 1 Housing Land use and development Parks and Recreation 54 Nov. 26 - Dec. 25 Yes RESPONSE COMMENT: Thanks!  I lived in Green Valley before moving to OV, and saw the Green Valley Hospital close because they could not attract doctors and nurses to live there - housing is much too expensive and not enough options (no apartments at all).  Nurses and techs came in from Rio Rico AZ.   I look forward to more youth choosing to make OV their home, and more businesses seeking to locate here.  1 0 Housing Economic Development 55 Nov. 26 - Dec. 25 Yes I believe that re-development of the failing Market Place Mall will be a huge challenge!  I've never seen an empty, failed Best Buy store before, and the other businesses seem to be just hanging on, or oriented towards lower-value goods and services.  Owner/Developer Town West Companies claims to need "supplemental funds" (from Town of Oro Valley) to fulfill their vision for a full-blown, publicly accessible entertainment district.  However, Oro Valley town staff notified Town West “there was not a desire to move forward on the public-private partnership we had indicated was needed” for the larger recreation / entertainment district.   My wife and I don't know how this stalled development is going to move ahead, and we are facing serious competition from projects in Marana and Tucson (Foothills Mall).   1 0 Economic Development Land use and development 56 Nov. 26 - Dec. 25 Yes RESPONSE COMMENT: If we are lucky, Town West Companies will go bankrupt before they break ground instead of after. I've never lived in a place with so many business sites that lay vacant for years, not just in the OV Marketplace location but in all the smaller business clusters in OV, too.  0 1 Economic Development Land use and development 57 Nov. 26 - Dec. 25 Yes RESPONSE COMMENT: I think the OV Marketplace is an eyesore....big, brownfield site.  Town West had a reasonable plan, similar to the one being used to develop the old Foothills Mall.  Yeah, in the last Town Council meeting, they discussed all of the vacant land that was bought for business development by speculators.  Personally, I'm happy to see it remain open!  The big storage unit proposed next to Leman Academy on La Canada seems to have gone away, thankfully!  Those things are nonproductive eyesores.   1 0 Economic Development Land use and development 58 Nov. 26 - Dec. 25 Yes RESPONSE COMMENT: This was just published, it supports my contention that OV is too expensive for most workers.  I don't want to live in another Quail Creek (which we left to move here). https://www.tucsonlocalmedia.com/explorernews/news/article_6bf50468-9390-11ee-ac70-1b8705896ff9.html 0 0 Housing 59 Nov. 26 - Dec. 25 No Growth but with wildlife corridors/ open space accomodated. Especially the wildlife corridor between catalinas and tortolitas.  0 0 Environment, Open Space or Views Managing Growth 60 Nov. 26 - Dec. 25 Yes We can't continue to eliminate our beautiful desert with houses and apartments.  I used to have many wild animals in my yard, but because of the many homes being built, that wildlife has greatly decreased and it makes me sad.  Traffic has also increased and I wonder what Oracle Road will look like in another 10 years.  Let's try to keep our small town atmosphere.  That is why I moved here. 3 0 Environment, Open Space or Views Community Housing 61 Nov. 26 - Dec. 25 Yes What attracted citizens to Oro Valley was the vistas and open spaces. Now the "future" of Oro Valley is revenue driven, mostly by allowing developers to change zoning limitations to whatever short-term profit-making scheme they can come up with, eventually leaving the town with a lot of vacant commercial space and dense "ticky-tacky" housing that is spaced 10 ft. apart and in so many cases homes sited with an east/west solar orientation that will require more resources for cooling as our climate gets hotter and drier. The developers easily work around the need to prove that there will be enough potable water for the residents of their buildings for the next 100 years. It's all based on collecting fees now and worrying about the repercussions later. In 10 years I expect Oro Valley to be struggling to exist as its own town and trying not to get absorbed into Tucson.  3 0 Environment, Open Space or Views Climate and Sustainability Housing Water Page 17 of 19 Count Date Range Resident Online Comment Likes Dislikes Focus Area Focus Area Focus Area Focus Area 62 Nov. 26 - Dec. 25 Yes I think traffic and over crowding in schools will be OV's biggest challenges if we keep allowing builders to build all of these dense housing projects. I spent a large part of my adult life living in California and I completely understand what it's like to have to commute 1.5 hours in each direction to a workplace because the housing is too expensive. I also know what high density housing does to the school system and it's terrible, which was why we chose the long commute to get to a school system that didn't have 25 or more students per classroom. I've been in school districts where they didn't have enough classrooms and teachers were teaching in the hallways. Please stop the housing construction, don't let this happen to OV. I don't think anything needs to change here, growing for the sake of growth doesn't make sense. 1 0 Housing Traffic and Circulation Challenges:  Actually this is now - current times! If you aren't doing this now the future for OV will look unattractive and bleak.  1. Keeping OV's natural beauty, litter free streets. OV is already getting littered with trash all along Oracle, 1st Ave, Tangerine etc. Please don't become Tucson where the street and highway trash is absouletly awful. Oracle State Hwy. is so heavily used and finally has been re-paved but the center medians need attention in landscaping. Pressure should be put on the AZ State to do their part like they do in the Phoenix metroplex, highways in Sedona etc. I guess they and others regard Pima county poor and not worthy of beautifying their roads and highways!   2. Traffic!!......Law enforcement!! 3. Marketing and a great city planner for OV to bring the right kind of business prospects to come to our Town with sophistication! OV has so many very bad looking standard typical strip centers! There is not enough pressure being put on the commercial business/property owners/developers to design wonderful buildings for retail and restaurants i.e. signage ordinances, enough landscaping, interesting regional elevations, high end art, etc. Does OV even have guidelines like this in place? Don't cave to the developers just to have them bring their projects to OV. Please make them adhere to high standards that OV needs to put in place! 0 0 Environment, Open Space or Views Traffic and Circulation Economic Development CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS COMMENT: 4. Housing. To many apartments being proposed! Zone for very low density apartments. Zone for condos instead as ownership takes more pride in the property. Again, if apartments are necessary make developer adhere to strict design guidelines to incorporate interesting, design elevations lush landscape, attractive iron work fencing and gates, good public art, attractive parking areas, more green open space surrounding and within the property, lighting, height restrictions etc. etc. etc.  5. Better restaurants with beautiful outdoor patio dining! Nicely designed restaurants with more regional branding! Who wants to sit in a strip center restaurant with chairs and tables on the front sidewalk of a parking lot. This is what to many OV restaurants have. Not the atmosphere OV should want.  6. Population....the people that only live here part time don't care as they take advantage of our roads, cause more traffic, accidents, water usage, less parking, vehicle pollution,  etc. Yes, they contribute to the economy here but at what cost? They go back to their 'real homes' while we full time residences have to endure. Oracle HWY is becoming a parking lot....Traffic! Out of state part-time visitors don't care as well as some locals. As an example our hiking trails are becoming dog infested poop areas (Honey Bee Canyon hiking). We believe there needs to be a 'Citizen Enforcement' where locals call violators attention to pick up after their dogs. If not this only negativity affects the natural wild animals.  It's only going to get worse.   0 0 Housing Economic Development Demographics Traffic and Circulation CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS COMMENT: 7. There are not enough grocery stores and support businesses to accommodate the north side of OV. Safeway at Rancho Vistoso is almost out of control. Fry's at 1st and Oracle is a madhouse of crowds. It's awful and dangerous! The centers that are here are in such bad condition with regards to the parking pavement. My husband had to stay on top of Fry's (above) to fix their pot holes! Also with Safeway R.V. until they finally repaved their area only. When trees die in many retail centers they are never replaced! Where is the enforcement? 8. Nice retail. Yes, I know on-line retail has taken over. However, there still needs to be local support. All the people I know who do their nice shopping drive to Scottsdale. This also includes dining...So sad! OV could learn from its northern town. Scottsdale do most things with sophistication and luxury. Yes, OV has wealthy people here too that appreciate nice places to shop and dine. Higher end, great design does not have to cost that much more money to develop!  9. Marana, AZ -  Marana will out perform OV in many ways. It's cleaner for starters! However, I'm not going to focus on our sister town.  In ending, I know this sounds harsh but this is the hard truth. We love it here because of the natural beauty. However there needs to be VISION. My husband and I lived in other fabulous cities. We build our home here, we will grow old here! We bring our friends here from all over the country and world to stay with us....we want to be proud of Oro Valley without embarrassment. Please make the right decisions for everyone including the developers that will understand and know that the Town of Oro Valley has high standards!  0 0 Economic Development 64 Dec. 26 - Jan. 25 Yes Overdevelopment and alternatives to funding town services.

Not only OV but most of Arizona continues to expand. There are already water curtailments in place. Agriculture has been the hardest to date but continued expansion will add more stress to supplies.  We need to restrict the housing development of our community to preserve open spaces and conserve our water allotment 0 0 Water Housing Environment, Open Space, or Views 71 Dec. 26 - Jan. 25 Yes 1. Traffic - We need to plan big.  We seem to under build road capacity. 2. Potable Water - Using too much on parks and golf course.  Need to find way to use reclaimed water. 3. Apartments/Townhomes - Need more to help generate roof tops to generate tax base and to give people an option to purchasing a single-family home.  BUT none of the residents want them anywhere near them, so proposals are voted down. 4.  Property Tax/Sustainable Tax Base - The expectation that annexation will continue to provide an adequate tax base to provide the services needed is like a Ponzi Scheme.  You keep adding tax base, but you also are adding the need for services.  Property tax is inevitable and happy to pay to keep our town the way it is. 0 0 Traffic and Circulation Water Housing Finances 72 Dec. 26 - Jan. 25 Yes Potable water should be the highest challenge in most parts of AZ…OV included.  Looking to other cities to see what models we can replicate to capture water and use reclaimed water is smart planning.  Along with the water issue should be a lid on new developments which will also deplete water. 0 0 Water Land use and development 73 Dec. 26 - Jan. 25 Yes The need for the General Fund revenue base to migrate from a sales tax to property tax basis.  Water resources.0 0 Water Finances Page 19 of 19 What should Oro Valley be known for?

One main purpose was to show that the town isn't the only one doing stormwater and flood control improvements. Mr. Spiker noted that Mr. Lowell Jensen, who spearheaded most of the Canyon Del Oro Bible Church drainage improvements, was in attendance in the audience. Mr. Spiker commented that a couple years back, Mr. Jensen had contacted the Stormwater Utility asking for guidance and additional help with the sediment and erosion issues. The damage was mostly caused by sediment transport. Mr. Spiker continued the presentation by showing a series of photos documenting the timeline of the work that needed to be done. Discussion ensued where it was questioned if HOA's would be able to obtain advice or assistance from the Town regarding drainage issues. Mr. Spiker commented that since the issue is regarding an HOA, it is private property and is not eligible for Town funding, but that the Town and the Stormwater Utlity are here to offer our experiences and guidance to HOA's and commercial properties. We can come out to do assessments, to evaluate scopes of work you might receive from contractors or consultants, and to help you understand the regulations you will need to meet. We certainly are here to help.   7.DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING THE ANNUAL STORMWATER UTILITY RATE ANALYSIS RECOMMENDATION TO MAYOR AND COUNCIL FOR FY 2024/25       Mr. Spiker gave an overview of the Stormwater Utility projected revenues and expenses, its fee structure and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) regulations the Town is mandated to meet. Discussion among the Commission and staff affirmed the need and the ability of the Stormwater Utility fee first and foremost to meet the required mandated regulations. Discussion ensued regarding the concern that in the future the Towns Next 10-Year Action Plan does not provide the Town with additional developable space and its related sales/construction tax revenue and that there is concern that the Town will face a funding shortfall due to the lack of revenue. At this time, our funds are going to existing maintenance and not future projects. We have been deferring capital investments, and we will have to deal with aging infrastructure. What will the council's direction be with this 10-Year Plan. We will need to find more money. With inflationary pressures, next year we will need to revisit the $4.50 fee and start a detailed discussion on a change to the fee structure, the rate change, and the measurement value. Keeping in mind the objective of maintaining the quality of life in Oro Valley. It was agreed to save discussion on the budget for another time and to make a motion concerning the base rate for the upcoming fiscal year 2024-2025, which will be July 1, 2024 - June 30, 2025. Mr. Spiker commented that starting next year at Stormwater Utility Commission meetings different scenarios will be presented, while taking into consideration what will be the idea from the council about where revenue streams will be generated from.    Motion by Chair Richard Crocker, seconded by Vice Chair William Thomas to approve a recommendation to Mayor and Council to support a status quo base rate for the Stormwater Utility for the upcoming fiscal year 2024-2025.  Vote: 4 - 0 Carried   8.DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING THE CANCELATION OF THE DECEMBER 21, 2023 SWUC REGULAR SESSION MEETING       Motion by Chair Richard Crocker, seconded by Commissioner Richard Hawkinson to cancel the December 21, 2023 SWUC Regular Session Meeting.

Meeting Date:02/15/2024   Submitted By:John Spiker, Public Works SUBJECT: PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION OF THE ORO VALLEY STORMWATER UTILITY FEE STRUCTURE REVIEW RECOMMENDATION: For informational purposes only. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: As part of our ongoing Stormwater Utility rate review discussion, we are presenting the current stormwater utility fee structure.  In accordance with Town Code Chapter 15-24-13, management of the stormwater system to protect the public health, safety, and welfare as well as meet the federal and state stormwater requirements requires adequate revenues. It is in the interest of the public to finance stormwater management with a fee system that is reasonable and equitable. Single-family residences will be charged a flat rate for one (1) Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU). Commercial property owners will be charged a multiple rate equal to the amount of impervious area on their property divided by the amount of one (1) ERU (four thousand (4,000) square feet). This formula will charge property owners on the basis of their properties’ impact to the stormwater system. The costs of improving, maintaining, repairing, operating, and monitoring the stormwater system shall be allocated, to the extent practicable, to all property owners based on the impact of runoff from the impervious areas of their property on the stormwater control and conveyance system. BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION: N/A FISCAL IMPACT: N/A SUGGESTED MOTION: N/A Attachments SWU Fee Structure  Town of Oro Valley Stormwater Fee Structure January 18, 2024 Background The Town initially became covered by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System General Permit For Discharges From Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) in 2003. In Arizona, this program is called Arizona Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (AZPDES). An AZPDES permit is required for any point source discharge of pollutants to a water of the United States. This permit, often simply called a “Stormwater Permit,” is overseen by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ). Neither the US EPA nor the State of Arizona provides any funding to Oro Valley for operating the Stormwater Program. Background Most cities, towns and counties with a population greater than 10,000 and a population density greater than 1,000 people per square mile as defined by the US Census must follow this permit, which regulates discharges of stormwater runoff to waters of the state. The permit provides requirements in each of the following six Minimum Control Measures which are defined in the Stormwater Management Plan: Public Education and Outreach Public Involvement/Participation Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control Post -Construction Stormwater Management of Development Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations Background 1.All costs of implementation and administration of the Stormwater Management Plan, including the establishment of reasonable operating and capital reserves to meet unanticipated or emergency stormwater management requirements. There shall be a reserve fund of fifteen percent (15%) of the collected annual stormwater fees as specified under Section 15-24-10 of this code. 2.Inspection and enforcement activities. 3.Billing and administrative costs. 4.Other activities that are reasonably required to accomplish the mission of the Stormwater Management Plan. 15-24-13-E Purpose of the Fund Background 15-24-13-F Stormwater Utility Fee A monthly service charge is imposed upon all real property in the Town, as of the first day of each month, beginning January 1, 2008, to fund the Stormwater Management Plan and stormwater system with invoicing as defined in subsection J of this section. This service charge shall be known as the Stormwater Utility fee (“fee”). As any real property is developed or developed real property is annexed into the Town it will be subject to the fee. The fee is based on the cost of implementing a stormwater management program. Fee History A Stormwater Utility Fee of $2.90 per month for each Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU) per parcel was approved in 2007 The Stormwater Fee was increased in 2016 to $4.50 per month for developed residential properties. Commercial properties are billed $4.50 per month for each Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU) of 4,000 sqft of impervious surface. This increase was meant to address additional staff needs to meet inspection, tracking, reporting, and maintenance requirements. Fee Calculation Example Vistoso Village SubdivisionCommunity Recreation Facility GIS analysis calculates 25,979 square feet of impervious surface 25,979/4,000 = 6.49 (round down to 6 ERU) 6ERU * $4.50 = $27.00 per month billed to the HOA Fee Calculation Example The Overlook at Pusch View RidgeApartment Complex GIS analysis calculates 482,421 square feet of impervious surface 482,421/4,000 = 120.61 (round up to 121 ERU) 121ERU * $4.50 = $544.50 per month billed to the apartment complex Stormwater Active Accounts 19,348 Residential Accounts Commercial Accounts 325 representing 8,818 ERUs Stormwater Fee Reduction 15-24-13-G-3&4 Non-Single Family Residential Properties that incorporate first flush capabilities or other approved stormwater pollution prevention devices are eligible for a twenty-five percent (25%) reduction in the fee, providing they apply to and are approved by the Stormwater Utility Commission and meet the annual inspection and maintenance requirements. Educational Facilities, Religious Institutions and Nonprofits Monthly Fee.A developed religious institution, school or other nonprofit property shall be eligible for a twenty-five percent (25%) fee reduction provided they apply to and are approved by the Stormwater Utility Commission. In order to qualify for the fee reduction, the educational facility, religious institution or nonprofit organization must conduct educational programs or other tasks on the topic of stormwater management as approved by the Stormwater Utility Commission. No developed educational facility, religious institution or nonprofit property shall pay less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the base rate. Questions?
