More, Planning and Zoning Director SUBJECT: Public Hearing, Ordinance (0) 09- 02 , OV3-08-11, Effective Signs representing Innovation Corporate Center, LLC., requests approval of a PAD Exemption for Innovation Corporate Center East, Lots 1-6, Rancho Vistoso Neighborhood 3, Innovation Corporate Center-East, located NE of the intersection of Innovation Park Drive and Tangerine Road. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF APPLICATION: The site currently consists of several completed office buildings with more planned within the development. The applicant's proposal is for an exemption from the sign standards of the Rancho Vistoso Planned Area Development(PAD). Other PAD Exemptions for signs have been granted in the area,including Ventana Medical, Oro Valley Hospital, and Oro Valley Marketplace. The exemption would enable construction of two 42 square foot monument signs and two 31 square foot directory signs. The design of the monument signs is different from other monument signs within Rancho Vistoso;however, it includes elements such as Vistoso Stone. Currently,Rancho Vistoso does not have a design for a directory sign. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD ACTION: At their regularly scheduled meeting on January 13,2009, the Development Review Board(DRB) voted(4-0)to recommend that Town Council approve the requested exemption from the Rancho Vistoso Sign Standards. One citizen voiced opposition to the proposal because it lacked consistency within Rancho Vistoso PAD. The citizen was also opposed to the freestanding sign being illuminated. BACKGROUND: Nature of Application: The applicant is requesting exemption from the sign standards of the Rancho Vistoso PAD,which is enabled by OVZCR Chapter 28.2.C. Please see the attached applicant's letter of request. The aim is to utilize the Oro Valley Zoning Code Revised (OVZCR) standards. In terms of process, the (DRB) must review an exemption request and forward its recommendation to Town Council. Town Council makes the final determination. Current Site Conditions: The site has been graded into individual building pads and roads have been installed. A few buildings have been completed, and several others are in the process of obtaining building permits and certificates of occupancy. Overview of Site Improvements: • Lots 1 &2: Zoned C-1; 12 office buildings,totaling 100,000 square feet. 11 one-story buildings with a maximum allowable building height of 34'. Office 12 will be one or two story. Lot I will be platted as office condominiums. TOWN OF ORO VALLEY TOWN COUNCIL COMMUNICATION, OV3-08-11 Page 2 • Lots 3 - 6: Zoned CPI,the maximum allowable building height is 36' and three stories.

The DRB also voted(4-0)to conditionally approve a sign criteria for this center. The Rancho Vistoso PAD Sign Standards were created and adopted in the late 1980's. Over time, several PAD exemptions have been granted by Town Council. The Rancho Vistoso PAD Sign Standards were created and adopted in the late 1980's. Since that time, Town Council has granted the following PAD Exemptions: • Ventana Medical Systems approved in 2002 • Northwest Hospital approved in 2003 • Innovation Park Monument approved in 2005 • Oro Valley Marketplace approved in 2006 Surrounding Land Uses Orientation Rancho Vistoso PAD Zoning Land Use North CPI Vacant parcels South CPI Vacant parcels East CPI Vacant parcels West Hospital Northwest Medical Center-Oro Valley OVZCR AND PAD ANALYSIS The applicant requests approval to use the signage options specified within OVZCR Chapter 28, which enables more types of signs, larger sizes, and greater flexibility. The following is a synopsis of standards within the Rancho Vistoso PAD: I. Walls Signs: o The sign area shall not occupy more than 10%of the frontage wall area o Prohibits the use of white faces o Internal and white halo illumination is permitted } 1 TOWN OF ORO VALLEY TOWN COUNCIL COMMUNICATION, OV3-08-11 Page 3 II. Freestanding Signs: o No tenant panels permitted o Rectangular Monolith structure mounted on 2 feet of red sandstone veneer base o Maximum height is 8 feet o Internal and white halo illumination is permitted III. Entry-way Signs: o Concave (bowed in) shape o No tenant panels o Materials: Brushed Brass, Brushed Copper, and/or Copper Patina o Single line of copy IV. Vehicle Directional Signs: o Established shape and style o Dimensions: 8' in height by 6' in width by 1' deep o Colors: Tan(Dunn Edwards PC 2490) Green(Dunn Edwards 425 U1/Jewel) Maroon(Frazee(AC 117N/French Red) The following is a summary of the applicant's proposed freestanding and directory signs: • Freestanding Signs o Two signs, one at each entrance, 7' in height x 21' in length o Faux rust background o Vistoso stone and slump block o White routed letters o LED internal illumination • Directory Signs o Two signs Iocated inside the development o Non illuminated o 4 feet 10 inches in height, 6 feet 4 inches in length o Vistoso Stone The applicant's proposal to use the OVZCR would result in a combined use of the Rancho Vistoso PAD materials and integrate some of the materials from the surrounding buildings, providing a unique look for this corporate center and allowing flexibility for the tenant signs. The OVZCR has been modified over the years in an attempt to address expectations and tenant signage requirements; whereas the Rancho Vistoso PAD has not been modified. As previously mentioned, several PAD Exemptions have been granted in this area. Retail centers that currently follow the Rancho Vistoso PAD Sign Standard are the Safeway Center (Northeast corner of Rancho Vistoso Boulevard and Tangerine Road) and the Rancho Vistoso Center(Northwest corner of Rancho Vistoso Boulevard and Oracle Road). Each of these centers has a single anchor tenant with a few national tenants as well as small shop tenants. PUBLIC NOTICE AND COMMENT Notices have been sent to all home owner associations within the area. With the exception of a citizen's comments at the DRB meeting, staff has not received any comments from neighbors or concerned residents regarding the applicant's proposal.

More, Planning and Zoning Director SUBJECT: Public Hearing, OV3-08-11, Effective Signs representing Innovation Corporate Center, LLC, requests approval of a PAD Exemption for Innovation Corporate Center East, Lots 1-6, Rancho Vistoso Neighborhood 3, Innovation Corporate Center-East, located NE of the intersection of Innovation Park Drive and Tangerine Road. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF APPLICATION: Nature of Application: The applicant is requesting exemption from the sign standards of the Rancho Vistoso Planned Area Development (PAD), which is applicable to this center. The applicant's proposal is to utilize the sign standards of the Oro Valley Zoning Code. The Development Review Board is charged with reviewing the applicant's proposal and forwarding a recommendation to Town Council. Town Council will make the final decision regarding the proposed exemption. The applicant has also applied for Sign Criteria. The Sign Criteria will be considered at the January 13, 2009, DRB meeting. A complete description of the Sign Criteria has been provided as part of the OV3-08- 10 staff report. Current Site Conditions: The site has been graded into individual building pads and roads have been installed. A few buildings have been completed. Overview of Improvements: • Lots 1 & 2: Zoned C-1, 12 office buildings, totaling 100,000 square feet. 11 one-story buildings and a maximum allowable building height of 34'. Office 12 will be one or two story. Lot 1 will be final platted as office condominiums. • Lots 3 - 6: Zoned CPI, The maximum allowable building height is 36' and 3 stories. The development of each parcel will require a separate Development Plan, Landscape Plan, and architecture review. • Multiple tenants are anticipated, including medical offices and related or complimentary uses. • An open space trade is proposed, which will result in a gain of 5.8 acres of open space. • The open space realignment will result in a park-like amenity/drainage running longitudinally through the property, similar to Woodshade Park in Rancho Vistoso. • An improved trail system with pedestrian linkages will be provided throughout the site. • Proposed traffic calming devices include landscaped roundabouts. TOWN OF ORO VALLEY STAFF REPORT TO THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD,OV3-08-11 Page 2 BACKGROUND Approvals to Date On November 14, 2006, the DRB approved the architecture and landscape plans for Innovation Corporate Center. On December 20, 2006,the Town Council approved the development plan for Innovation Corporate Center. Surrounding Land Uses Orientation Rancho Vistoso PAD Zoning Land Use North CPI Vacant parcels South CPI Vacant parcel East CPI Vacant Parcel West HOSPITAL Northwest Medical Center-Oro Valley OVZCR AND PAD ANALYSIS The applicant requests approval to use the signage options specified within OVZCR Chapter 28. The OVZCR offers more types of signs, larger sizes, and greater flexibility. For example, the exemption would permit Entry signs with tenant panels, which, the applicant explains, is a basic marketing need of a regional center. The PAD excludes use of tenant panels at project entries. The following is a synopsis of standards within the Rancho Vistoso PAD: • Walls Signs: o The sign area shall not occupy more than 10% of the frontage wall area. o Prohibits the use of white faces. o Internal and white halo illumination is permitted. • Freestanding Signs o No tenant panels permitted. o Rectangular Monolith structure mounted on 2 feet of red sandstone veneer base. o Maximum height is 8 feet. o Internal and white halo illumination is permitted. • Entry-way Signs o Concave (bowed in) shape. o No tenant panels o Materials: Brushed Brass, Brushed Copper, and/or Copper Patina o Single line of copy • Vehicle Directional Signs o Established shape and style. 1 o Dimensions: 8' in height X 6' in width X 1 foot deep. o Colors: Tan (Dunn Edwards PC 2490) Green (Dunn Edwards 425 U 1/Jewel) Maroon (Frazee (AC 117N/French Red) F:\OV\OV3\2008\OV3-08-011\DRB Report 1-13-09.doc TOWN OF ORO VALLEY STAFF REPORT TO THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD,OV3-08-11 Page 3 The Rancho Vistoso PAD Sign Standards were created and adopted in the late 1980's. Since this time, Ventana (approved in 2002), Northwest Hospital (approved in 2003), Innovation Park Monument (approved in 2005) and Oro Valley Marketplace (approved in 2006) have been granted for P.A.D. exemptions by Town Council. Retail centers that currently follow the Rancho Vistoso PAD Sign Standard are: the Safeway Center (Northeast corner of Rancho Vistoso Boulevard and Tangerine Road) and the Rancho Vistoso Center (Northwest corner of Rancho Vistoso Boulevard and Oracle Road). Each of these centers has a single anchor tenant with a few national tenants as well as small shop tenants. The applicant's proposal to use the OVZCR would result in a combined use of the Rancho Vistoso PAD materials and integrate some of the materials from the surrounding buildings. Providing a unique look for this corporate center and allowing flexibility for the tenant signs. The OVZCR has been modified over the years in an attempt to address expectations and tenant signage requirements; whereas the Rancho Vistoso PAD has not been modified. SUMMARY If approved, the applicant's proposal would allow Innovation Corporate Center to utilize the standards for a Freestanding and Directory signs under the OVZCR. DRB will make its recommendation and Town Council will render the final decision. The applicant has requested that review of the PAD Exemption be considered at the same time as Sign Criteria for the development (OV3-08-10). Lewis Management Resources, Inc. for the Vistoso Community Association has approved the request for a PAD exemption. The letter of approval is included with the application of request to the Town. SUMMARY OF FACTORS Findings in Favor • 1) The RV PAD sign standards do not adequately address the needs of corporate centers of this magnitude. 2) The PAD criteria have not been updated and reflect 1987 trends. 3) The OVZCR Standards better reflect current community values and development needs. 4) Use of OVZCR Standards will enable development of a specific identity for Innovation Corporate Center. 5) Home Owner's Association approval Findings Against 1) Use of the OVZCR is a departure from the PAD's intent to create uniform signage throughout Rancho Vistoso.
