Submitted By:Kyle Packer, Community and Economic Development
Case Number:2300141 & 2300167
SUBJECT:
PUBLIC HEARING: DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON TWO ITEMS RELATING TO A PROPOSED
COFFEE SHOP DRIVE-THRU AND OFFICE/RESTAURANT DEVELOPMENT AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER
OF INNOVATION PARK DRIVE AND TANGERINE ROAD:
ITEM A: ORDINANCE NO. (O)24-07, PROPOSED ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT TO THE RANCHO VISTOSO
PLANNED AREA DEVELOPMENT TO ENABLE ACCESS ONTO TANGERINE ROAD
ITEM B: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A COFFEE SHOP DRIVE-THRU USE
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval of Item A and Item B.
Please note that Item A must be approved to consider Item B, as the demonstrated site circulation for the
conditional use permit is dependent on access to Tangerine Road.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The purpose of this report is to consider two
separate yet related requests regarding the proposed
development of a 2,400 square foot drive-through
coffee restaurant as a component of a larger
office/restaurant commercial development.
The subject area is vacant and located within the
Economic Expansion Zone (EEZ) and zoned C-1
within the Rancho Vistoso Planned Area
Development (RV PAD). The RV PAD provides the
zoning standards (e.g., allowed uses, setbacks,
heights, etc.) for the subject property. As such, the
applicant's request requires consideration of the
following:
Item A (Attachment 1): Request for a Zoning Text
Amendment to the RV PAD to enable new access off
of Tangerine Road between Big Wash Bridge and
Oracle Road for the entire proposed development.
This change (Attachment 2) to the RV PAD
would enable the applicant to create the single
proposed additional access onto Tangerine
Road, enabling better traffic flow through the
eventual full 5.6 acre development.
It would also enable others to request
It would also enable others to request
additional access onto Tangerine between Big
Wash Bridge and Oracle Road (Meggett
Securaplane, Oro Valley Hospital, etc.)
These requests would still require
compliance with the access limitations and drive separation requirements of the Tangerine
Road Corridor Overlay District (TRCOD). In other words, the same current standards for most of
Tangerine Road within Oro Valley would also apply to this specific segment.
Item B (Attachment 3): Request for a Conditional Use Permit for a coffee shop drive-through restaurant within the
overall development.
The proposed drive-through can accommodate 16 vehicles without impeding traffic flow.
The drive-through will have additional screening and landscaping as required per the Zoning Code.
It meets all Conditional Use Permit review criteria in
Section 22.5.
As the proposed site is within the EEZ and located significantly
further than "one hundred fifty (150) feet of a property used or
intended for residential purposes," neighborhood meetings
were not required. There are no neighborhoods nearby, with
the closest home being roughly 2000 feet away; however, there
is a Senior Care (a commercial use) nearby.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval of
Item A and Item B. Please note that Item A must be approved to
consider Item B, as the demonstrated circulation for the
conditional use permit is dependent on access to Tangerine.

The applicant's proposal is a 2,400 square foot
drive-through restaurant at the northeast corner
of Innovation Park Drive and Tangerine Road,
as well as the initial roadwork for a Master
Development Plan proposed to include
approximately 33,000 square feet of office and
retail space at final buildout. The proposal
requires two separate yet related requests.
Both requests are discretionary, which means
the applicant is asking for new property rights.
The Town Council is tasked with approving or denying these requests. More information about each request is
provided below.
A. REQUEST FOR A ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT TO THE RANCHO VISTOSO PLANNED AREA
DEVELOPMENT (RV PAD) TO ENABLE ACCESS ONTO TANGERINE ROAD (ATTACHMENT 1)
The applicant's first request (Attachment 1) is to remove PAD zoning language preventing site access onto the
north side of Tangerine Road - in-between Big Wash Bridge and Oracle Road. In order to accommodate this
(Attachment 2), the following section would be struck from the RV PAD:
Section 1.2.C.9: "Tangerine Road. Access from Tangerine Road will be solely from the interchange
designated between Big Wash Bridge and Oracle Road (Tucson-Florence Highway, U.S. 89)."
The applicant proposes this change to the RV PAD to be allowed to create one additional access onto Tangerine
Road. This would enable better traffic flow through the eventual full 5.6 acre development and meet the
requirements of the proposed coffee shop operator.
Originally, during the development of the Rancho Vistoso Planned Area Development in the 1980’s, Tangerine
Road was planned as a limited access highway connecting Oracle Rd., now State Route 77, to Interstate Highway
I-10. The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) assigned Tangerine Rd. the designation of State Route
989 and due to the planned density and future traffic patterns anticipated for the area, the Right-of-Way (ROW) for
Tangerine Road was configured to be able to install grade-separated interchanges at the intersections of First
Avenue/Rancho Vistoso Blvd., Innovation Park Drive/Water Harvest Way, and at Oracle Road. In addition,
because Tangerine Road was being considered a potential major highway, no access between Big Wash Bridge
and Oracle was included in the RV PAD. The purpose of the PAD language was to limit Tangerine Road access
to the grade-separated interchanges to aid in allowing free-flow traffic conditions, which would have mitigated
congestion on the highway from all the anticipated future Rancho Vistoso and Sun City traffic generated.
However, as Rancho Vistoso developed, the traffic counts failed to support the grade separation interchanges and
major highway development concept. ADOT started the down classification of Tangerine Road by eliminating the
state route designation SR989. Then, the section of ADOT-controlled Tangerine Road (from Oracle Rd to just
west of First Ave.) was officially transferred to Oro Valley by the State in 2019 (the Town accepted the conditions
for this transfer in 2017).
For this development, a proposed ingress/egress point on to Tangerine Road, approximately 450 feet east of
Innovation Park Drive, will be limited to right in/right out only access. The existing westbound right turn lane at
Innovation Park Drive/Tangerine Road intersection will be reconstructed and lengthened to provide a continuous
right turn lane that serves both Innovation Park Drive/Tangerine Road intersection and the proposed
development’s South Access to Tangerine Road. Westbound traffic approaching the site will make use of two
through lanes and exclusive right turn lane. Southbound vehicles exiting the site will be offered a right turn lane
which is set far enough east to be out of the functional limits of the Tangerine Road westbound left-turn into the
Oro Valley Marketplace. Traffic on Tangerine Road will remain free flow while southbound traffic exiting the site
will be STOP controlled.
The reason staff supports this request:
Removal of this text would result in regulation of this relatively small portion of Tangerine Road to be in the
same manner as all other segments of this street throughout Town.
The Town has recognized the appropriateness of access in other areas not restricted by this code
language, such as the additional access provided for the Safeway Plaza in 2020. Additionally, the
Tangerine Road Scenic Corridor District (TRSCD) maintains separation standards ensuring appropriate
spacing between any future proposed access points. Specifically, Section 27.10.D.3.f.vi.b.4.A.i states, "No
direct access crossing shall be less than three hundred thirty (330) feet from an arterial intersection".
Removal of this code section will enable other applicants to ask for access onto Tangerine Road; however,
any future requests will still be regulated by both TRSCD and the Town’s own engineering standards.
And this code language is a remnant of the period when the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT)
had control of a portion of Tangerine Road and envisioned grade-separated interchanges and limited
access highway to connect Oracle Road to I-10. Both ADOT and the Town now recognize that either
grade-separated interchanges or designating Tangerine Road as a limited access highway are no longer
appropriate.
B. REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT ALLOWING A COFFEE-SHOP DRIVE-THROUGH
RESTAURANT (ATTACHMENT 3)
The applicant's second request (Attachment 3) is to allow the proposed coffee shop to have a drive-through
component. Conditional Use Permits (CUP) require additional focus on compatibility and are reviewed for
conformance with the criteria in Section 22.5 of the Zoning Code. The criteria are shown below in italics, followed
by the applicant's responses and staff commentary.
That the granting of such conditional use permit will not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare. In arriving at this determination, the factors which shall be considered include the following:
Damage or nuisance arising from noise, smoke, odor, dust, vibration or illumination;a.
Applicant Response: "Of the potential nuisances listed, the proposed drive-thru use could only create noise
impacts to surrounding properties. The aforementioned acoustical study analyzed existing noise levels and also
modeled potential noise impacts based on the proposed drive-thru speaker location. The study concluded
modern, well-designed, and intentionally located drive-thru kiosks will not have an adverse effect on nearby
areas. There are no nearby residents."
Staff Commentary :
Staff do not have any concerns regarding noise, smoke, odor, dust, vibration or illumination. The noise study
reasonably concludes that no residences will be impacted, and the surrounding businesses and uses are
appropriate for the noise typically associated with a drive-thru use. Odor and illumination are addressed through
Zoning Code requirements, and a drive-thru coffee shop poses no concerns for dust, smoke, or vibration.
Hazard to persons and property from possible explosion, contamination, fire or flood;b.
Applicant Response: "None."
Staff Commentary :
Staff have no concerns that a drive-through coffee use poses an explosion, contamination, fire or flood threat.
Unusual volume or character of traffic.c.
Applicant Response: "Attached to this letter is a traffic impact study prepared by Southwest Traffic
Engineering...The study concluded that the existing nearby roadway system can accommodate the development
without causing existing levels of service to drop below acceptable levels.
The proposed drive-thru provides room for up to 14 vehicles to stack without impeding traffic flow within the
surrounding parking area. This exceeds the recommendation in the Traffic Impact Analysis from Southwest
Traffic Engineering, which referenced notable studies in the industry.
There is no unusual volume or character of traffic created by this development. The traffic generated is well within
the range of what would be expected in the vicinity of one of Oro Valley's primary employment and retail areas."
Staff Commentary :
Staff and the applicant have worked to ensure that the drive-thru queuing is sufficient to address the potential
demand for this site and use. Staff have observed the peak stacking for coffee shop drive-thru uses at the
Starbucks on Oracle, which had 14 vehicles queued, and the Dutch Bros in the San Dorado Shopping Center,
which had 17 vehicles stacked during the peak hour. This proposed drive-thru provides 14 spaces, with a total of
16 stacking spaces available without impeding the flow of traffic through the proposed center.
On the topic of drive-thru menu board location, the facility was compared to the Starbucks on Oracle and the
McDonalds at 1st and Oracle. These establishments provide between 35-40' between the drive-thru entrance and
the ordering speaker and provide 95-115' between the ordering speaker and pick-up window. The distance
between the ordering speaker and pick-up window is designed to enable employees to prepare orders that have
been received and distribute them efficiently to prevent unnecessary stacking. Employees cannot make orders
been received and distribute them efficiently to prevent unnecessary stacking. Employees cannot make orders
that they have not yet received, which increases drive-thru delays when ordering kiosks are located close to the
pickup window.
This drive-thru proposes menu board locations that are in line with other examples provided by Town Council, and
the one drive-thru Starbucks location in Town, with ~90' of queuing between the drive-thru entrance and ordering
speaker, and approximately 170' of queuing between the ordering speaker and pick-up window.
That the characteristics of the proposed use are reasonably compatible with the types of use permitted in
the surrounding area and sufficient mitigation measures are employed to minimize impact on adjoining
properties.
d.
Applicant Response: "...the development's proposed retail/office and restaurant uses are already permitted by
existing zoning. those permitted uses were established by the Rancho Vistoso PAD decades ago. The proposed
drive-thru, being food service related, also comes with the potential acoustical impact associated with the menu
board speaker. Even so, the Spendiarian noise study concluded that modern, well-designed, and intentionally
located drive-thru kiosks such as the one proposed on this property will not have an adverse effect on nearby
areas.
The drive-thru lane itself will be screened by landscaping and low walls as required by Town Regulations.
The drive-thru menu board proposed on this property will be roughly 2,000 feet from the nearest home to the
southeast, and separated by fifteen lanes of roadway, other retail areas, Big Wash, and a notable difference in
elevation. This drive-thru will not have an adverse impact on any surrounding areas."
Staff Commentary :
The drive-thru use will be subject to the Zoning Code requirements for such uses, including additional screening
and landscaping. As such, staff have no additional concerns regarding the proposal's compatibility with the
surrounding uses and businesses, as this development will be required to comply with all applicable
requirements.
That the hours of operation of the proposed use will not adversely impact neighboring properties.e.
Applicant Response: "The hours of operation will not adversely impact neighboring areas...Typical hours of
operation for a drive-thru coffee shop in Oro Valley are 4:30 AM to 8:00 PM. The operational hours of the
proposed drive-thru restaurant will ultimately be determined by the restaurant itself, but certainly follow any
applicable Town regulations."
Staff Commentary :
Staff believe that the lack of residences near this site, and the presence of 24-hour facilities including the hospital,
pose as meaningful points to allowing the business to set its own hours.
Consistency with the General Plan f.
Please see Section C of this report below for analysis.
C. GENERAL PLAN CONFORMANCE
Both requests were reviewed for conformance with the Your Voice, Our Future General Plan. Although many of
the goals and policies in the General Plan are not applicable to the proposed use, the use fits within the
Neighborhood Commercial / Office land use designation, as well as the RV PAD C-1 zoning.
Of the 102 General Plan Goals and Policies, 14 are applicable and have been met. Key goals and policies are
listed below:
Policy CC.6: Promote the creation of unique community gathering places that are inviting, walkable,
attractive, and vibrant and offer commercial, entertainment or cultural activity
Goal Q: A built environment that creatively integrates landscape, architecture, open space and conservation
elements to increase the sense of place, community interaction and quality of life.
Policy LU.3: Reduce heat absorption by buildings, parking surfaces and in outdoor public areas.
Policy LU.9: Promote the design of cohesive developments that enhance and promote the pedestrian
experience.
D. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
A Planning and Zoning Commission Public Hearing was held at their special session on August 13, 2024.
Meeting minutes can be found as Attachment 4. As this project is located within the Economic Expansion Zone
(EEZ) and is further than "one hundred and fifty (150) feet of a property used or intended for residential
purposes", it is exempt from neighborhood meeting requirements. As such, no neighborhood meetings were
required or held.
The following public notice has been provided:
Notification to all property owners within 600 feet
Notification to all HOAs
Advertisement in the Daily Territorial
Signs posted on property
Notice posted at Town Hall and on Town website
E. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
In summary, the applicant's request is to develop a 2,400 square foot drive-through coffee restaurant at the
northeast corner of Tangerine Road and Innovation Park Drive, as well as Tangerine Road access for the full 5.6
acre Master Development Plan (includes additional restaurant and office space). The applicant's request includes
the following:
Item A: Request for a Zoning Text Amendment to the RV PAD to enable access onto Tangerine Road
Item B: Conditional Use Permit for a Drive-Thru Use
The Planning and Zoning Commission finds both requests are in conformance with the General Plan and
recommends approval of Item A and Item B. Please note that Item A must be approved to consider Item B, as the
demonstrated circulation is dependent on access to Tangerine Road.

Project Overview
For many years Tangerine Road was under the ownership and control of the Arizona Department of Transportation
(ADOT) as State Route 989, originally envisioned to connect Oracle Road (State Route 77) west to Interstate-10. At that
time Tangerine Road was planned to have grade-separated interchanges at major intersections and limited access
everywhere else. Access controls and a wide, freeway-style right-of-way were memorialized within the Rancho Vistoso
Planned Area Development (PAD) in the 1980’s including along the employment area that would later become known as
Innovation Park. Below are snips from a 1985 PAD land use plan showing circles where the interchanges were envisioned,
and the 1988 ADOT map establishing the flared rights-of-way needed for the traffic interchanges anticipated at those
locations.
Over the course of the more than thirty years that followed, regional transportation plans changed, and Tangerine Road
was downgraded to a major arterial roadway rather than a limited-access freeway. In 2015 its State Route designation
was removed for most of its length except through Rancho Vistoso, and more recently the designation was completely
removed. Ownership of Tangerine Road was then transferred from ADOT to the Town of Oro Valley, finally giving back
to Oro Valley the right of self-determination regarding future design and access to this important roadway.

This Request
In light of Tangerine Road’s ultimate functional classification as only a major arterial roadway and not a limited-access
State Route, the severe access restrictions established in the 1980’s are no longer needed or appropriate. Oro Valley
now has the opportunity to grant access to Tangerine Road on a careful and intentional basis centered on sound traffic
engineering and design. Venture West wishes to proceed with development of their parcel at the northeast corner of
Tangerine Road and Innovation Park Drive and has submitted engineering plans and a traffic report demonstrating safe
and efficient traffic circulation associated with that development. The plans include one new access drive connection to
Tangerine Road, approximately 450 feet east of Innovation Park Drive. In order for that access connection to be allowed
we seek approval not only of the various engineering plans and traffic report under separate application, but also of a text
amendment to the PAD, removing the following text:
“Neighborhood Policy 3.9. Tangerine Road: Access from Tangerine Road will be solely
from the interchange designated between Big Wash Bridge and Oracle Road (Tucson-
Florence Highway, U.S. 89)”
That text, referencing an interchange at the intersection of Tangerine Road and Innovation Park Drive, is clearly obsolete
and aligned with ADOT’s stringent access control policies that are no longer in effect.
We appreciate your consideration of these requests. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
Sincerely,
Paul Oland

Project Overview
Roughly 35 years ago the Rancho Vistoso PAD was approved by the Oro Valley Town Council. The planning of the PAD’s
main employment area, Neighborhood #3 a.k.a. Innovation Park, wisely included several commercial parcels to provide
convenient retail services to the many employees envisioned to work there. Over the years a number of employers have
successfully located within Innovation Park, providing critical employment opportunities. As expected, the retail parcels
have not developed along the same timelines because retailers first need a base of customers before they will setup shop.
At long last, Starbucks has been attracted to Innovation Park, and wishes to locate a 2,400-square-foot store across
Innovation Park Drive from Oro Valley Hospital. A critical part of most coffeeshop business models is drive-thru service,
and of course Starbucks is no exception. Restaurants are permitted by the existing zoning, while the drive-thru element
requires a Conditional Use Permit. As such, we submit this request for approval of a CUP concurrently with the review
and approval of the Conceptual Site Plan package for the overall development. Further details are provided below.
To garner Town Council approval a project must demonstrate that it meets several design criteria:
A. Noise shall not exceed the levels listed in Table 25-1.A.
Attached to this letter is an acoustical study prepared by Spendiarian & Willis Acoustics & Noise
Control LLC. The study demonstrates compliance with this criterion.
B. Odor abatement shall be in accordance with Section 25.1.A.6.
Although the drive-thru use that is the subject of this CUP request will not create any odors, the
associated coffeeshop (which is already permitted by zoning) will of course meet or exceed the
Town’s regulations regarding odor abatement.
C. Visibility of drive-thru uses and stacking lanes shall be mitigated in accordance with Section 25.1.B.8 and
screened in accordance with Section 27.6.C.5. (Section 25.1.B.6.a.i.d).
An opaque screen constructed of masonry or functionally similar material will be installed along the
drive-thru lane where it runs parallel to Tangerine Road. Landscape bufferyards will also be installed
in that location to provide additional screening and to satisfy the Town’s bufferyard requirements.
Conditional Use Permit Request
Town Code allows Town Council to approve drive-thru uses when a proposed development has demonstrated
compliance with the criteria for evaluating Conditional Use Permits as stated in Section 22.5 of the Oro Valley Zoning
Code. The criteria are listed below, along with responses to each criterion.
1. That the granting of such conditional use permit will not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety,
or welfare. In arriving at this determination, the factors which shall be considered shall include the following:

analyzed existing traffic levels and also modeled potential traffic impacts of the proposed
development based on industry-standard trip generation rates from the Institute of Transportation
Engineering. Drive-thru coffee shops do tend to create traffic levels above typical restaurant uses.
However, the trip generation during the AM peak hour is actually less than for coffee shops without
drive-thrus. Additionally, most vehicular trips “generated” by a coffee shop drive-thru lane are
considered “pass-by” visits rather than “destination” visits, meaning that most of those cars will
already have been on the roadway system anyway. The study concluded that the existing nearby
roadway system can accommodate the development without causing existing levels of service to
drop below acceptable levels.
The proposed drive-thru provides room for up to 14 vehicles to stack without impeding traffic flow
within the surrounding parking area. This exceeds the recommendation in the Traffic Impact Analysis
from Southwest Traffic Engineering, which referenced notable studies in the industry. As another
point of reference, the proposed drive-thru queue length also meets Pima County’s recently updated
requirements.
There is no unusual volume or character of traffic created by this development. The traffic generated
is well within the range of what would be expected in the vicinity of one of Oro Valley’s primary
employment and retail areas.
2. That the characteristics of the proposed use are reasonably compatible with the types of use permitted in
the surrounding area and sufficient mitigation measures are employed to minimize impact on adjoining
properties.
As previously stated, the development’s proposed retail/office and restaurant uses are already
permitted by existing zoning. Those permitted uses were established by the Rancho Vistoso PAD
decades ago. The proposed drive-thru, being food service related, also comes with the potential
acoustical impact associated with the menu board speaker. Even so, the Spendiarian noise study
concluded that modern, well designed, and intentionally located drive-thru kiosks such as the one
proposed on this property will not have an adverse effect on nearby areas.
Typical hours of operation for a drive-thru coffee shop in Oro Valley are 4:30 AM to 8:00 PM. The
operational hours of the proposed drive-thru restaurant will ultimately be determined by the
restaurant itself, but certainly follow any applicable Town regulations.

The drive-thru lane itself will be
screened by landscaping and low
walls as required by Town
regulations.
The drive-thru menu board
proposed on this property will be
roughly 2,000 feet from the
nearest home to the southeast
and separated by fifteen lanes of
roadway, other retail areas, Big
Wash, and a notable difference in
elevation. This drive-thru will not
have an adverse impact on any
surrounding areas.
Conformance with OVZCR
25.1.B.6 “Requirements for
Convenience Uses”:
o This project is significantly
more than 250 feet from the nearest residential property and is significantly more than 500 feet
from a public park or school.
o Noise level controls, odor abatement, and drive-thru lane screening will all meet or exceed Town
requirements.
o Innovation Park includes several hundred acres planned for, or developed as, “office park” uses,
greatly exceeding the minimum of nine acres of “office park” uses per drive-thru convenience use.
Additionally, this proposed coffee shop is ancillary to and located within Innovation Park.
o Access to this parcel is only via roadways classified as “collector” or “arterial”. Access to the
proposed convenience use is via driveways internal to the parcel, and cross-access to other
development areas within the parcel has been included in the design.
o A large number of employers have already developed within Innovation Park (e.g. Roche Ventana,
Oro Valley Hospital, Securaplane, etc.), meeting the requirements of 25.1.B.6.iv. for this project.
Conformance with OVZCR 25.1.B.8 “Requirements for Drive-Thru Uses, Not Including Banks”:
o A noise impact study has been prepared by Spendiarian & Willis Acoustics & Noise Control LLC.
The study demonstrates compliance with Section 25.1.A.3.
o The drive-thru lane will be screened from view from Tangerine Road to meet the requirements of
25.1.B.8.b.
o The vehicular queue length of the drive-thru lane exceeds the recommendations in the Traffic
Impact Analysis prepared by Southwest Traffic Engineering, which referenced notable studies on
the subject of drive-thru queuing. No queuing is expected to occur, or will be allowed, within
roadways, drive aisles, or parking access lanes.

3. That the proposed use is consistent with the goals and policies of the general plan.
This neighborhood-scale development supports a number of General Plan goals and policies. For
example:
o 3.4.D. – The people of Oro Valley strive for a community with a wide range of services, amenities,
shopping and dining opportunities and housing types that meet the needs of current and future
residents.
This project will help Oro Valley to be a community with a wide range of services, amenities,
shopping, and dining opportunities that meet the needs of current and future residents.
o 3.6.CC.6. – Promote the creation of unique community gathering places that are inviting,
walkable, attractive and vibrant and offer commercial, entertainment or cultural activity.
This project will be an inviting, walkable, and attractive commercial gathering place right
across the street from the Oro Valley Hospital and numerous offices and businesses. The
drive-thru facility itself is obviously not pedestrian-oriented. However, it is a necessary
component of a modern coffee shop, and a modern coffee shop clearly helps create an
inviting, walkable, and attractive commercial gathering place by being pedestrian friendly
with outdoor seating opportunities.
o 5.5.LU.5. – Provide diverse land uses that meet the Town’s overall needs and effectively transition
in scale and density adjacent to neighborhoods.
As part of the overall Rancho Vistoso PAD, this commercial property is situated at the
intersection of two arterial roadways and has no nearby residents who could potentially be
impacted.
o 5.5.LU.8. – Encourage the development of master planned communities which include suitable
residential and commercial uses.
Responsible development of this small commercial property continues to fulfil the original
vision of the Rancho Vistoso PAD, which is a mixed-use master plan encompassing over 12
square miles of Oro Valley. When Rancho Vistoso was annexed in 1987 it more than tripled
the size of Oro Valley, and has been an integral part of the Town’s growth and success. Even
now, Rancho Vistoso makes of roughly one-third of Oro Valley’s incorporated area.
o 5.7.DG.1. – Continue to identify additional revenue sources that may provide supplemental
revenues to ensure that infrastructure and services are maintained.
The developer will fund their fair share of any new infrastructure is required to offset the
impacts of this development. For example, turn lane improvements will be constructed along
Tangerine Road at the developer’s expense.
o 5.8.I.10. – Foster opportunities for walking, biking, and mass transit to places where people live,
work, shop, and play.
This development’s central, infill location is extremely accessible by pedestrians and
bicyclists working within Innovation Park.

4. That the hours of operation of the proposed use will not adversely impact neighboring properties.
The hours of operation will not adversely impact neighboring areas.
Scenic Corridor Conformance
1. Viewshed Analysis
The subject property is within the Tangerine Road Corridor Overlay District but is exempt from some of
the district’s requirements because it is within the Rancho Vistoso PAD. No significant scenic views of
the Tortolita, Santa Catalina, or other mountains exist from Tangerine Road across the subject property.
See Attached TRCOD Visual Analysis Photographs.
2. View Preservation Plan (VPP)
Below is a rendering of the proposed coffee shop within a photograph taken from the perspective of a
pedestrian walking along Tangerine Road:
3. Core Character Vegetation (CCV)
Several large trees exist along the northern edge of Tangerine Road due to drainage accumulation along
that elevated roadway section. However, those plants are within the public right-of-way. No Core
Character Vegetation exists onsite.
We appreciate your consideration of these requests. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
