“The Committee decided that land use changes should be addressed on a case-by-case basis between the ten-year updates. That decision was memorialized in the Plan text.
Please do not think that amending the General Plan
is to be avoided. The Committee’s direction was quite
to the contrary.”

Multifamily housing “would create critical mass for nearby retail, restaurant and service businesses, and strengthen the housing portfolio for nearby employers. Likewise, town government
would receive construction sales tax revenue, infrastructure improvements, more sales and use tax revenue and more state-shared revenue based on greater population.
We ask for your favorable consideration”
20
21
“Communities that are open to and provide diverse housing options, good schools and cultural amenities tend to achieve greater success and help companies attract talent.
We respectfully request you approve this General Plan Amendment and rezoning.”

22
“Whenever new residential development is proposed the focus always seems to be on keeping densities as low as possible. However, I’m sure most people in Town would rather see reasonable
and sensitive development of greater residential densities that will help our struggling retailers, and maybe even bring in a new restaurant or two! Please support additional residential
development, especially higher density development in locations where impacts to existing residents would be less.”
“I have lived in OV for 27 years. The residents of Oro Valley are doing their best to support the existing business, but more needs to be done to keep them and fill the vacancies.
Please support additional residential development”
“As a working mother of a 10-YO child, I count on the convenience local businesses offer. From daycare to restaurants, shopping to recreation, these are all an important mix to create
the quality of life we enjoy in OV. We need to help sustain these vital businesses with common sense residential growth.”
“The proposed zoning change is consistent with thoughtful, reasonable and strategic thinking. As a homeowner in Catalina Shadows I like the 4 land use options. I want to see reasonable
and sensitive development of greater residential densities that will help our struggling retailers”
22
23
“We have had a difficult time leasing the existing space
at our shopping center, therefore the last thing the
Town of Oro Valley needs is additional vacant
commercial buildings at this intersection.
We implore you to support all additional residential developments in this area.”
23
24
“Dragon Village Restaurant has been in business in the Safeway Shopping Center for over 17 years.
I urge you…to support the residential uses…specifically the casitas, apartments, and townhomes. Those plans are the most impactful to get more residents and customers here to support
our local business.”
24
25
Flavor of India is a local family business at the Safeway Shopping Center for over 10 years.
“We urge you to support the proposal of additional residential development on Silverhawke Block 5. This plan will help bring in more residents to the Town to support local businesses
and the community.”
25
26
“Putting commercial/industrial buildings in the space next to [the Silverhawke homes] would be a disservice to not only those residents, but future Oro Valley residents.
Oro Valley business owners are facing financial struggles. Having more residents in the area would be very beneficial. As taxpayers, and voters, we respectfully ask you to vote to
support the rezoning.”
26
27
“Oro Valley has grown, but online retailers’ dampening impact on the brick-and-mortar retail market has greatly outpaced the number of new homes and potential customers near us.
With no remaining vacant residential land nearby, we implore you to support any additional residential development in this area.”
27
28
“We have reviewed the proposal and support the higher density residential plans to give our employees more housing variety.
We request your support for any residential plans proposed on Silverhawke Block 5 and specifically for the higher density residential developments.”
28
29
“I write today to express our support…
We know from regional studies and our own recruitment efforts that affordable housing options are an important consideration for young professionals when they are evaluating advanced
degree options and employment prospects.”

Comparison between Entitled Commercial and Proposed Apartments
Traffic
The proposed apartments represents the highest traffic generation between all proposal alternatives per Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) statistical Land Use Code (LUC) data
Peak Hour (or better known in layman’s terms as Rush Hour) is the times in the morning and evening when traffic is at its highest volume and most congestion is present
Present maximum street volume, per Pima Assoc. of Governments (PAG) 2019 count (pre-COVID), during the Peak Hour is 1,694 vehicles per hour for 1st Ave. and 955 vehicle per hour for
Tangerine Rd.
Street saturation capacity per FHWA is 7,600 vehicles per hour for both Tangerine Rd. & 1st Ave.
Currently 1st Ave. is operating at 22% capacity and Tangerine is operating at 13% capacity
Entitled or maximum Proposed Development produces relatively the same amount of Traffic Generation:
ITE data does not support there will be a traffic increase due to the down zoning proposal
And existing entitled or the proposed development adds approx. 1% at most of the overall street capacity

Public Participation: Views
View from Tangerine Rd. Looking South
View from 1st Ave. Looking East
23
I now want to spent a few moments to discuss views. The image at the top of this slide is a view from Tangerine road looking south towards the site. From the property's frontage, the
proposed development will not be visible from Tangerine rd due to topography and a distance of approximately 450 feet. For reference, the yellow arrow is pointing towards the cell tower
site.
The second image is the view from 1st avenue looking east towards the site . The subject parcel is located approximately 850’ away from 1st ave and the proposed development would not
negatively impact mountain views from this vantage point.
The yellow arrow is pointing to the cell tower site on this image.
54
Public Participation: Views
View From Tangerine Hills Looking East
Looking East Towards Catalina Shadows
24
The photo on the left shows the view looking east towards the catalina shadows neighborhood. For reference, the yellow arrow is pointing to the rooftops. This neighborhood is behind
a ridge and is approximately 850 feet away. Due to these factors, there will be minimal to no view impacts from the neighborhood and no mountain views will be impacted
The photo on the right shows a view from the Tangerine hills neighborhood located across 1st avenue., over 1,000 feet away. The proposed development will be barely visible, if at all,
and will not impact views. For reference, the yellow arrow on this image is pointing towards the cell tower site.

Why we need more employment space
Amendment is only requesting to add 3 additional uses mostly to the regional commercial district, shown in red. The majority of which are located along Oracle Road or other major roads
Wholesaling, which depending on the scale could have more of an impact is a conditional use for the Town Council on a case by case basis.
The proposed uses are less impactful than the retail and restaurant uses already allowed in commercial centers.

Level of Service Methodology
Level of Service population based standards are developed using a combination of local, regional and national resources, including:
Current Level of Service – Do NOT add park land if adequate developed park land already exists
Current Inventory and its condition ratings (is there a greater need to take care of what already exists vs. construct new?)
Opportunity to acquire and develop parkland
National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) guidelines.
Recreation participation rates reported by the Sports & Fitness Industry Association’s (SFIA) 2020 Study of Sports.
Market Potential Indices
Prioritization of Community Need
Financial Sustainability – Operations and maintenance funding needed to support new investment
84
Trail and Open Space Assumptions
Population based level are not developed for:
Trails – creating a connected network is the desired outcome
Open Space – seeking opportunities to preserve open space within the context of Town’s Comprehensive Plan and zoning ordinances is the desired outcomes

Equity Mapping Methodology
An equity-mapping analysis was conducted to show the service areas and the gaps in service of the current inventory of park types and amenities based on the recommended LOS standards.
The service area is calculated by the quantity of inventory of each site extended in a uniform radius until the population served by the recommended standard is reached.
Shaded areas indicate the extent of the service area based on recommended inventories.
Unshaded areas indicate locations that would remain outside of the standard service area for each park type or park asset.

What We Heard
Trails are a high priority for Town residents
Phase 2 scope was adjusted to include the identification of shared use path connectivity opportunities
Ensure that connectivity to parks and schools and other jurisdictional trail systems is included.
101
Connectivity Analysis Scope
Identify missing shared use path trail segments
Identify possible opportunities to generally expand the shared use path trail system
Prioritize the opportunities to better connect and expand the shared use path trails system
Soft surface trail development goes “hand-in-hand” with preservation of open space opportunities
