Meeting Date:05/21/2025 Submitted By:Milini Simms, Community and Economic Development Case Number:Not applicable SUBJECT: Update on the Resident Working Groups' efforts to create the next 10-year action plan, known as OV's Path Forward RECOMMENDATION: This item is for presentation and discussion only. A study session is scheduled for June 18, 2025, to gather the Town Council's feedback on the resident working groups' draft work (30% draft plan). EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This item updates the Town Council on OV's Path Forward, Phase 2: "Let's Think." Phase 2 began on January 28, 2025, with an orientation session for Resident Working Groups. These groups met from February to May to utilize the substantial guidance the broader community provided to develop goals, policies, and actions for the community's next 10-year action plan. The #1 priority is ensuring the plan reflects and honors the resident voices heard during Phase 1. Over 100 residents contributed to this phase by responding to questions posted online and participating in meaningful discussions during 24 meetings. Staying true to what was learned from the community in Phase 1, these residents helped craft 30 draft goals, 86 draft policies, and 230 draft actions related to: Transportation, including pedestrian and cyclist connectivity Town finances and services Public safety, including emergency preparedness Housing Workforce and employment Business attraction and tourism Community character Schools Arts and culture Land use and development Parks, recreation and trails Environmental resources and views Climate and sustainability Water resources and conservation Additionally, residents participating in the land use and development meetings provided guidance to update the land use map and 10-year plan amendment criteria. The draft land use map and amendment criteria will be presented to the Town Council for feedback during the June 18 study session. Participating residents also reviewed and made no changes to the 10-year plan amendment types or process (Attachment 1). To ensure transparency, all the Resident Working Groups' meeting recordings, discussion notes, and initial draft goals, policies and actions are available on OVPathForward.com. Next steps: The next result of residents' time and commitment to Oro Valley's future will be a 30% draft of the 10-year action plan. This draft incorporates all the groups' work and will be reviewed by Resident Working Group members, key stakeholder groups, boards, commissions, and the Town Council for feedback. Over the summer, staff will work with a consultant to incorporate suggestions that stay true to the resident voices heard during Phase 1 and produce a more fully designed 60% draft. The 60% draft will be presented to the Resident Working Groups to gain consensus before a large-scale engagement process for broader public review. BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION: The three-year effort to create the community's next 10-year action plan launched in October 2023. Utilizing the resident-driven process established in the Town Council-approved and award-winning Community Engagement Plan, Phase 1: "Let's Talk" included extensive community engagement to understand residents' priorities and expectations for Oro Valley's future. Over 9,000 responses were collected through a survey, pop-up events and an interactive website. Themes were derived from the responses and transformed into a draft vision and principles guiding the 10-year plan and Phase 2: "Let's Think." The Community Engagement Plan established the roles and methods for each phase of this important effort: Resident voices are the top priority throughout each phase. The plan will only be successful and achieve voter approval if it resonates with the community. Community stakeholders are engaged to share ideas and information for residents to consider as they develop the plan. Staff, the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Town Council's primary task is to ensure the plan reflects the community's voice. DISCUSSION DISCUSSION Phase 2 continues to prioritize resident voices by gaining additional guidance and feedback through Resident Working Groups. Four different working groups were established to cover 12 different topics. Each month, the groups focused on a different topic as depicted in the image below. The convenience of monthly topics and online meetings more than doubled the participation in working groups, compared to 10 years ago. Not only were more residents involved, but the working groups represented a broad range of ages and demographics. Additionally, the online discussions resulted in more meaningful comments with over 860 contributions providing additional guidance during this project phase. Similar to Phase 1, several residents participated in a town process for the first time. There were a minimum of two meetings for each topic. The first meeting focused on gathering additional guidance within the framework of the resident priorities and expectations established in Phase 1. The second meeting gathered feedback on the draft goals, policies, and actions. Each group also reviewed the draft guiding principles to make sure they reflect resident priorities and expectations. All groups achieved consensus that the first drafts were on the right path to capture resident priorities and expectations. An example of this process is depicted in the chart below: Community Guidance Additional Guidance from Resident Working Groups Draft Goal Draft Policy Draft Action According to a statistically projectable survey, 58% of residents prefer that the remaining land in OV be used for a central gathering area with shopping, dining and a performing visual arts center. At events and online, residents wanted more things to do, including a downtown or public gathering space. Development Group: A place with shopping and dining options, amenities for all ages, entertainment, shade, mixed-use, accessible, walkable, and sufficient parking. Community Group: A flexible space, arts and culture, walkable, accessible, and a hub connected to other nearby areas. Economy Group: Maximize sales tax with an attraction or draw to businesses in the area. Create unique, vibrant and interconnected mixed-use destinations for residents, visitors and businesses. Facilitate the development of inviting, walkable and vibrant community gathering spaces that connect commercial, entertainment, arts, and cultural opportunities that are accessible to all. Continue to work with the owners of the Oro Valley Marketplace to make it a "hub" for community gathering by: Connecting Steam Pump Ranch, Rooney Ranch, Catalina State Park, San Dorado and the adjacent Town-owned property, to create a corridor of community spaces Increase walkability by improving connections to the Loop, multi-use path, trails and other pedestrian/cyclist routes. Incorporating space for events, arts and cultural activities. Identifying area(s) for gathering that are highly visible and integrated with shopping, dining, seating, the Loop and multi-use path. Providing shade and other amenities to improve the outdoor experience. Land Use Map Residents participating in the land use and development meetings reviewed and recommended changes to the land use map. The recommended changes will be presented to the Town Council for discussion during the June 18 study session. The information below aims to help the Town Council get familiar with the different elements and types of land use map changes. The land use map includes "macro" aspects that help guide growth and development. This includes a planning area, urban service boundary and legally required growth areas. Definitions of each are provided below. The Resident Working Groups' recommendations will be presented to the Town Council for discussion during the June 18 study session. Planning Area - Extends beyond the Town's boundaries. The Town may not control these areas, but works with other jurisdictions as they influence development, lifestyle, traffic, views, and more in Oro Valley. Urban Service Boundary - Around most of the planning area. The area outside the Urban Service Boundary indicates land that should not receive any increase in density or land use intensity over what is currently existing, because urban infrastructure has not yet been extended into these areas, nor is it planned for the foreseeable future. Growth Areas - Areas that are particularly suitable for planned multimodal transportation, infrastructure expansion, and improvements designed to support a planned concentration of a variety of uses, such as residential, office, commercial, tourism, and industrial uses. These areas are open for a range of intensive development. In addition to the "macro" elements, the land use map also includes parcel-specific designations to guide the types and locations of uses the community wants in Oro Valley. The land use map does not grant property rights, such as permitted uses, building height, etc., which are provided through zoning. There are two types of parcel-specific land use map changes requested during the 10-year plan effort: Housekeeping changes to improve accuracy and eliminate public confusion - these changes align the land use designations with the development and existing zoning. These inaccuracies occur because property owners do not have to amend the land use map when they are developing under their existing zoning rights. Therefore, the best time to update the map for accuracy is during the 10-year plan effort. 1. Anticipated or private property owner requests - Private property owners may request land use map changes at this time. Additionally, staff anticipate other changes to the land use map or special area policies for larger properties, such as Arroyo Grande (9,000+ acres to the north) and State land 880, will be made in the future. 2. The Development Resident Working Group considered both types of parcel-specific changes and achieved consensus on making only the "housekeeping" ones. The group decided that all anticipated or private property owner requests should be processed through the typical amendment process, which involves extensive engagement with nearby neighbors. Amendment Types and Criteria The 10-year plan is expected to evolve to stay relevant and be implemented in the community. Per state law, the 10-year plan must include an amendment process. The current plan includes two types of amendments: Type 1 - Significant changes to the plan. They include changes on parcels to different land use types that have the most impact. Type 2 - Changes with less impact to the plan and do not represent a substantial alteration of the Town's land use mixture or balance. The Resident Working Group decided to maintain the existing definitions and process for each type of amendment (see Attachment 1). Both types of amendments are a big deal. They both require extensive community engagement and are evaluated by the same criteria. The group suggested revisions to the amendment criteria to strengthen the language. The recommended amendment criteria will be presented to the Town Council for discussion during the June 18 study session. The Resident Working Groups' meeting recordings, discussion notes, and initial draft goals, policies and actions are available on OVPathForward.com. Next steps: The 30% draft plan, which includes the Resident Working Groups' complete list of draft goals, policies, actions, land use map changes and amendment criteria, will be presented to the Town Council for feedback on June 18, 2025. As established in the Community Engagement Plan, the role of stakeholders is to share ideas for the resident groups to consider. The role of the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Town Council is to review the draft to ensure the plan reflects the community's voices. Feedback from stakeholders, boards, commissions and the Town Council will be presented to the Resident Working Groups in August, along with a complete, fully designed 60% draft of the plan. Once the Resident Working Group members achieve consensus that the full draft of the plan honors the substantial number of resident voices heard in Phase 1, it will be released and promoted for broader community feedback. The public release will kick off Phase 3: "You Decide," when the broader community checks the plan to make sure it represents resident voices. FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable. SUGGESTED MOTION: This item is for presentation and discussion only. A study session is scheduled on June 18, 2025, to gather the Town Council's feedback on the resident working groups' draft work (30% draft plan).

The new language includes the following: Notwithstanding any other law, the legislative body of a city or town SHALL by ordinance do the following: 1. Authorize administrative personnel to review and approve site plans, development plans, land divisions, lot line adjustments, lot ties, preliminary plats, final plats and plat amendments WITHOUT A PUBLIC HEARING [Emphasis added]. 2. Authorize administrative personnel to review and approve design review plans based on objective standards WITHOUT A PUBLIC HEARING [Emphasis added]. 3. Allow at-risk submittals for certain on-site preliminary grading and drainage work or infrastructure. 4. Allow applicants with a history of compliance with building codes and regulations to be eligible for expedited permit review. The anticipated code amendments will include the following key elements: Enabling administrative approval for permitted or entitled (non-discretionary) code-compliant applications1. Establishing an appeal process for administrative approval of permitted or entitled (non-discretionary) applications with certain limitations 2. Changes to other sections of code (Economic Expansion Zone, Design Standards)3. Allow at-risk submittal of certain grading and drainage applications4. Allow expedited review of zoning and grading applications5. Require a Conditional Use Permit for building height increase requests in the Private School (PS) zoning district 6. Town staff have been in communication with both the League Arizona of Cities and Towns (League) and members of the City of Scottsdale planning department (who are similarly impacted by the new legislation) to discuss potential amendments that comply with the intent of the new legislation. The League drafted a model ordinance for communities impacted by the original legislation adopted in 2023 (Attachment 2) as a guide for potential changes. Staff anticipate the code amendments will draw on the general framework of this model code moving forward. moving forward. To ensure compliance with the new legislation, the town has until December 31, 2025, to adopt the new code amendments as the new law becomes effective on January 1, 2026. Once adopted, the new code will apply retroactively to non-discretionary applications currently under review. If Town Council decides to initiate the request, staff will develop the proposed amendments, which will be presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Council at study sessions and public hearings this fall with the aim of becoming effective prior to the state-mandated deadline. BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION: In 2023, the state passed legislation giving local jurisdictions the option of making the approval process for non-discretionary development and design review applications (e.g. Development and Landscape Plans, Preliminary and Final Plats, etc.), administrative. This year, in HB 2447 (Attachment 1), the legislature made the process mandatory for all jurisdictions. The new language includes the following: Notwithstanding any other law, the legislative body of a city or town SHALL by ordinance do the following: 1. Authorize administrative personnel to review and approve site plans, development plans, land divisions, lot line adjustments, lot ties, preliminary plats, final plats and plat amendments WITHOUT A PUBLIC HEARING [Emphasis added]. 2. Authorize administrative personnel to review and approve design review plans based on objective standards WITHOUT A PUBLIC HEARING [Emphasis added]. 3. Allow at-risk submittals for certain on-site preliminary grading and drainage work or infrastructure. 4. Allow applicants with a history of compliance with building codes and regulations to be eligible for expedited permit review The anticipated code amendments will have the following key elements. 1. Administrative approval for non-discretionary code-compliant applications For the town, this will represent a change as many non-discretionary development or design review applications currently require Town Council approval. To comply with state law, the proposed amendment will require the following: The non-discretionary development or design review applications listed below will be reviewed and approved administratively when deemed code compliant: Development Plans and Master Development Plans Preliminary Plats Final Plats Commercial Architecture Model Home Architecture Public Art Other design review applications The following discretionary applications where new entitlements or uses are requested will continue to require Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation and Town Council approval: General Plan Amendments Rezoning/PAD Amendments Conditional Use Permits Grading Exceptions Other Use Requests All applications will continue to be reviewed for conformance with all existing code requirements (Design Principles, Design Standards, Oracle Road Scenic Corridor Overlay District, etc.). 2. Establishing an appeal process for administrative approval of permitted/entitled (non-discretionary) applications As included in the League's draft model ordinance (Attachment 2), staff anticipates including an appeal process for administrative approval of non-discretionary, code-compliant Development and Design Review applications with certain limitations. Potential limitations include appeals by adjacent property owners or Town Council - only when the appellant can demonstrate the code was not properly applied. 3. Changes to other sections of code The anticipated changes will also impact other sections of code, namely the Economic Expansion Zone (EEZ) and Design Standards. Permitted or entitled (non-discretionary) code-compliant projects within the EEZ are currently approved administratively, while discretionary projects require Town Council approval. This change will make much of the EEZ redundant and unnecessary as the same approval process will apply to all properties in town. Some components of EEZ (e.g. allowing pre-grading of development parcels) will remain limited to those areas. With regard to Design Standards, as a result of the code amendments, they should be sharpened and made more specific (without being overly prescriptive). The aim will be to maintain the Town's high level of design requirements while allowing for aesthetic variety throughout the town. An update to the Design Standards is an approved Strategic Plan item that is anticipated to be presented to Town Council later this year. 4. Allow at-risk submittal of certain grading and drainage applications This legislation does not enable/require pre-grading prior to development application approval - just review of a grading and/or drainage plan. The Town currently allows some at-risk development applications. No code changes will be necessary to comply with part of the new legislation. 5. Allow expedited review of zoning and grading applications The Town currently allows for expedited reviews of building permit applications only (with an additional expedited fee). The code amendments will need to include language enabling expedited reviews of all applications for applicants with a history of compliance. Additionally, the Town's Development Fee Schedule will need to be revised to add an expedited review option for all applications. The Town has until December 31, 2025, to adopt the new code amendments as the new law becomes effective on January 1, 2026. Once adopted, the new code will apply retroactively to non-discretionary applications currently under review. If Town Council decides to initiate the request, staff will develop the proposed amendments which will be presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Council at study sessions and public hearings this fall with the aim of them becoming effective prior to the state-mandated deadline. 6. Require a Conditional Use Permit for building height increase requests in the Private School (PS) zoning district A building height increase application in PS zoning entails Planning & Zoning Commission decision-making - with the ability to appeal to Town Council. It would be timely to amend the code by requiring a conditional use permit with final determination by Town Council. FISCAL IMPACT: N/A SUGGESTED MOTION: Town Council may wish to consider one of the following motions: I MOVE to initiate the zoning code amendment to reflect recent state law changes regarding the review process of development and design review applications with the following elements: Enabling administrative approval for permitted or entitled (non-discretionary) code-compliant applications1. Establish a limited appeal process for administrative approval of permitted or entitled (non-discretionary) applications 2. Changes to other related sections of code (Economic Expansion Zone, Design Standards, etc.)3. Allow at-risk submittals of certain grading and drainage applications4. Allow expedited review of zoning and grading applications5. Require a Conditional Use Permit for building height increase requests in the Private School (PS) zoning district 6. OR I MOVE to not initiate the zoning code amendment based on ____________________________________.

The specific purposes of the site plan review process are to: (A) Ensure the proposed development plan complies with the development and design requirements of the [City/Town]. (B) Facilitate the orderly development of the [City/Town] by promoting the public health, safety, and general welfare, and character of the community; (C) Mitigate adverse impacts on traffic circulation and adjacent developments and land uses; and (D) Support a safe and efficient multi-modal transportation system with adequate off-street parking and loading facilities, bicycle facilities, and pedestrian amenities. Sec. X-X-2 Definitions.1 [add definitions, as applicable] Sec. X-X-3 Administrative Authority; Applicability. (A) Administrative Review and Approval. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article [or as otherwise required by Council stipulation2], the [Zoning Administrator3] shall have the authority to approve, conditionally approve, or deny an application seeking the approval of a site plan or an amended site plan. (B) Applicability. A site plan application must be submitted for [all new and existing developments that propose qualifying building additions, alterations, or site improvements. Site plan review is not required for one duplex, triplex, or detached single-family residence on one lot]. This section applies to reviews of applications for initial site plans and amended site plans. 1 Most cities have a comprehensive definition section in their subdivision code. This only addresses those definitions that need to change. 2 This language is optional for cities that may have Council stipulations related to site plan in zoning ordinances or development agreement. 3 Modify as needed based on the applicable approval authority. (C) Application Requirements. Applications for initial site plans and amended site plans shall be filed with the [add department name] on form(s) provided by the Department and shall include all the information identified in the application form(s) and4 other data that may be required by the [Zoning Administrator] to ensure compliance with the requirements. Site plan applications must be signed by the property owner(s) or an authorized agent of the property owner(s) and all applicable fees shall be paid when the application is submitted. (D) Approval Criteria. (1) The Department shall review site plan applications in accordance with applicable zoning ordinance regulations, subdivision regulations, engineering standards, flood prevention and control regulations, development agreement, development master plan, and all other applicable federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, codes, rules, regulations, policies and/or guidelines. (2) Approval of a site plan application shall be given only when in the judgement of the [City/Town], such an approval is consistent with the intent and purpose of this Article, and it is determined that the proposed application is: (a) Consistent with the health, safety, and welfare of the community; (b) Consistent with purposes and intent of this Article, the general plan, and any adopted plan for the area; (c) Will not cause traffic related concerns that cannot be mitigated as determined by the [City/Town] Engineer; and (d) Failure to comply with provisions of the codes, standards, and procedures of the [City/Town] shall be the sole basis for denial.

Some cities require more notice, in essence giving adjacent property owners more rights to contest an administrative site plan, than legislative zoning. (F) Appeal Criteria and Procedure. (1) The Notice of Decision by the Department may be appealed by the applicant, any [City/Town] property owner, and property owners within 300 feet of the proposed site plan. 6 (2) Basis for Appeal. (a) The purpose of the appeal criteria provided herein is to fairly accommodate the appeal right of a party aggrieved7 by a [City/Town] decision, while also ensuring the appeal is conducted fairly and expeditiously and ensuring finality in land use decisions and development permitting. (b) An appeal of a site plan decision is limited to instances where an aggrieved party alleges there was an error in a decision or determination in the enforcement of a specific zoning ordinance or regulatory requirement.

(H) Appeal; Reviewing Entity. (1) The Reviewing Entity shall hold a review hearing and provide the appellant, applicant, Department staff, and those property owners and registered homeowner's associations within the required notification radius of the subject property an opportunity to present their position.
