September 22, 1999 Mr. H. Brent Sinclair, Director Community Development Town of Oro Valley 11000 North La Canada Drive Oro Valley, AZ 85737 Subject: Lin/La Cholla/Naranja Property General Plan Amendment T12S, R13E, Section 04, Parcels 38A, 39, 58, 59, and 60 WLB Job No. 199032-A-001-0104 Dear Brent: On behalf of our clients, the Lin family, we are requesting a General Plan Amendment for an 80 acre portion of their 140 acre property located at the intersection of La Cholla and Naranja. The Lin family is the long-term owner of several significant pieces of property in the Oro Valley area. Current and Proposed Plan Currently under the Town of Oro Valley General Plan, the eastern portion of the property has an MDR- Medium Density Residential (2.1 - 5.0 DU/acre) designation. The western portion of the property are designated as LDR 1.2 - Low Density Residential (0.6 - 1.2 DU/ac). We are proposing that the western portion, approximately 80 acres, be re-designated as MDR. Rationale for Plan Amendment There are several issues which support this General Plan Amendment and demonstrate its consistency with current land use patterns in the Town and the intent of the General Plan. i. The General Plan provides for the transition of residential densities as you move outward from the town core. ii. The availability of infrastructure is a key determinant in future land use. The property is adjacent to Wilson K-8 School. The close proximity would enable students to walk easily to school, addressing public safety and student transportation issues. The property has significant frontage on La Cholla Engineering • Planning • Surveying • Urban Design • Landscape Architecture Offices located in Tucson, Phoenix, Las Vegas • E-mail: wlbtuc@ix.netcom.com 4444 East Broadway • Tucson, Arizona 85711 • (520) 881-7480 • FAX (520) 881-7492 Mr. H.

Boulevard and Naranja Drive, major arterial roadways, providing excellent access to the roadway network without negatively impacting any existing neighborhoods. iii. The property benefits from a sewer improvement district and currently has sewer lines extended to it. iv. A Pygmy Owl study has been conducted by a professional biologist and the results indicate no Pygmy Owls inhabit the property. Conclusion Currently, the General Plan designations drop from 5 dwellings per acre on our eastern portion to 1.2 dwellings per acre over our western half. We are proposing a more subtle transition on our property by amending our west portion to MDR. Such an MDR designation would be consistent with the suburban character of this portion of Oro Valley and would reflect an efficient land use pattern based on available infrastructure. Finally, our design concept for the property includes the retention of significant open space on the site including all riparian habitat. The master plan is characterized as a series of neighborhoods defined by permanent open space and habitat areas as depicted on the attached concept plan. We are looking forward to working with you and your staff in addressing any outstanding issues this proposed Plan Amendment raises. If you have any questions, please call me. Thank you.

We have previously applied for a General Plan Amendment with the Town of Oro Valley. We are formally withdrawing our application due to the jurisdictional issues with the "possible" Town of Tortolita and Pima County. It would be very helpful to have in writing from the Town an explanation of the jurisdictional issues, if any, relevant to review and approval of the contemplated General Plan Amendment. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call me at (520) 881-7480. Thank you. Sincerely, THE WLB GROUP, INC. David A.
