B an 1 odine, AICP Planning&Zoning Administrator Town of Oro Valley F:\OV\OV9\1999\9-99-113\NOTICEPZ.doc POSTED: 8/12/99 3:00 PM SR TOWN OF ORO VALLEY 16 COUNCIL COMMUNICATION MEETING DATE: September 1, 1999 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR& COUNCIL FROM: Dennis Silva, Jr., Planner I SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING: ORDINANCE (0)99-5° , OV9-99-113 REQUEST TO AMEND THE RANCHO VISTOSO PAD, TO ADD THE DATE PALM TO THE APPROVED PLANT MATERIALS LIST BACKGROUND: The current Rancho Vistoso Planned Area Development was adopted by the Mayor and Council in 1987. The PAD encompasses 7,626 acres and is bounded on the south by Tangerine Road, on the east by Oracle Road, and on the north by the Tortolita Mountains. When fully developed, the PAD will have a variety of residential types, commercial,technical, and public areas. NATURE OF REQUEST: The WLB Group, representing the developer, Vistoso Partners, LLC request to amend the Rancho Vistoso PAD to add the Phoenix dactyl ifera— Date Palm to the Approved Plant Materials List. The Date Palm is already used in the El Conquistador Resort, thus, the applicant believes this request is reasonable. If approved, the applicant plans use the Date Palm for the resort sites in the Rancho Vistoso PAD. GENERAL PLAN COMPLIANCE: Staff has evaluated the request for the amendment to the Rancho Vistoso PAD against the General Plan Policies. Natural Resource Conservation: Policy 8.1 G of the General Plan states that Indigenous (native desert) vegetation should be maintained and enhanced where possible. The Date Palm is not indigenous to the Sonoran desert environment. Policy 8.10 encourages restricting the use of non-native plant materials in new developments. The applicant plans to use the Date Palm for new resort developments in Rancho Vistoso. Policy 8.1U encourages the use of low water, native plants in golf courses, resorts, developments, parks, etc. The applicant's request is in non- compliance with the above-referenced General Plan policies. PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: Staff has reviewed the proposed PAD Amendment, and the planning considerations are as follows: Addendum C, to the Oro Valley Prohibited Plant List in Article 14-2 of the OVZCR, states that any species of tree or shrub whose mature height may be expected to exceed 25 feet, with the exception of those indigenous plants, listed in Addendum A, Oro Valley Approved Plant List, is prohibited. While the Date Palm is listed in the Arizona Department of Water Resources' low-water-use plant list, it meets the Town's criteria for a prohibited plant it is expected to exceed 25 feet and it is not listed in the Oro Valley Approved Plant List. though the El Conquistador Resort permits the use of Date Palms, it was approved prior to the passage of the Oro Valley Prohibited Plant List. TOWN OF ORO VALLEY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION Page 2 of 2 PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ACTION: The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the request by a 4 — 0 vote on August 3, 1999 with the following locational requirements: (1) date palms shall be located either in a plaza/courtyard setting or no more than two times their height at maturity from a building; (2) at maturity, the trees shall be no taller than the height of the adjacent buildings; and(3)they shall not be used for perimeter landscaping. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial of the Rancho Vistoso PAD amendment to add the Phoenix dactylifera—Date Palm to the Approved Plant Materials List. This request does not comply with the General Plan and the OVZCR. SUGGESTED MOTION: The Council may wish to consider one of the following motions: I move to approve Ordinance (0)99- 50 , OV9-99-113 Rancho Vistoso PAD Amendment, attached herewith. OR move to approve Ordinance (0)99- , OV9-99-113 Rancho Vistoso PAD Amendment herewith and the )nditions recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission and the following added conditions: OR I move to deny Ordinance (0)99-5 0 , OV9-99-113 Rancho Vistoso PAD Amendment, finding that: ATTACHMENTS: 1.
