Its presence contributed to the character of the space and provided a place for residents to gather and connect. Unfortunately, due to construction on an adjacent building, the fountain remained shut down for a period exceeding six months, resulting in the unintended loss of its “legal non-conforming” status. A task force was created to gather input from SCOV residents, research, redesign the fountain with a focus on water conservation, and obtain approval from the Town of Oro Valley for a text amendment. Here’s what we found… History of the Lion Head Fountain Homeowner Community Outreach Overwhelming Positive Results: ( as of January 1, 2026 )Residents Households Total Responses 988 680 Support Signatures 917 (93%)616 (91%) Opposition Signatures/Email 71 (7%)64 (9%) Summary of Supporting Opinions: •Good focal point for outdoor use •Enjoyment of water and birds •Missing the sight and sound of fountain •SCOV historical landmark •Keep original size Summary of Opposing Opinions: •Waste of water •Plant a garden •Money should be used for something else •Community outreach notices emails, magazine, social media, website, info tables •Held over 20 open resident meetings to collect input information and discussion •Signatures and opinions also collected via email, paper forms, JotForm platform All forms have been cross-checked and duplicates removed.

Its presence has long contributed to a sense of place, community pride, and shared enjoyment. We recognize the importance of responsible water use. In response, as good stewards, we have developed a thoughtfully redesigned plan that will dramatically reduce water consumption while maintaining the fountain’s visual and communal benefits. This proposal reflects a balanced approach—honoring our past while embracing sustainable practices for the future. With these very significant water saving improvements in mind, we respectfully request your positive recommendation to approve our proposed site-specific text amendment. Approval of our proposed text amendment will allow the Lion Head Fountain to continue its historic role of serving our SCOV community as a welcoming focal point for the adjacent outdoor gathering space, enhancing the daily life for our residents, while supporting community interaction and celebration. Approval also preserves a cherished landmark while demonstrating a clear commitment to water conservation, aligning with the values of our residents and the broader goal of responsible resource management. We thank you for this opportunity and your consideration.

This improvement is currently budgeted as $746,945 in Impact Fees within the FY25/26 CIP Because of the possibility of the development of parcel 7-I, staff has held off initiating this project The current project does not include the traffic signal – just the lane reconfiguration The lane reconfiguration alone will mitigate many of the contributing factors causing accidents RV Blvd & Intended Improvements (Cont.) With the addition of a traffic signal at the Northern Safeway access, all contributing factors causing accidents will be eliminated: Impatient and uncontrolled LT ’s out of Safeway Elimination of the U -Turn at Woodburne for Safeway patrons wanting to head south Increased RV Blvd north LT storage at Woodburne removing more vehicles out of the NB #1 Thru-Lane Increased RV Blvd south LT storage at Safeway northern access removing more vehicles out of the SB #1 Thru-Lane Increased fluidity for Woodburne LTs onto RV Blvd to head north Section Town: Vistoso Marketplace Conceptual Site Plan Discussion Mike Pearlstein, Vice President Tom Grace VISTOSO MARKETPLACE Oro Valley, Arizona SWC of Rancho Vistoso Blvd. & Tangerine Road Applicant Presentation | Town of Oro Valley | 2026 PROJECT OVERVIEW SITE AREA 9.04 Acres (394,000 SF) ANCHOR TENANT Sprouts Farmers Market — 23,182 SF RETAIL BUILDING 12,000 SF SOUTH PARCEL Pad Uses: ~5,500 – 6,000 SF TOTAL PARKING 207 – 228 Spaces (varies by option) ZONING PAD — Planned Area Development ARCHITECTURAL RENDERING — NORTH PARCEL View from Rancho Vistoso Blvd. — Sprouts Farmers Market & Retail Strip ARCHITECTURAL RENDERINGS — SOUTH PARCEL & STREET VIEWS View from Tangerine Rd. — Coffee & Chicken Drive-Thru Pad Buildings View from Tangerine Rd. — Rancho Vistoso Entry Monument & Perimeter Wall AERIAL SITE OVERVIEW Bird's-Eye View — Full 9.04-Acre Site at Rancho Vistoso Blvd. & Tangerine Rd.

Two -Stage Left Turns Implementation of a two-stage left turn maneuver for enhanced driver safety. Extended Turn Lane Storage Dedicated 300'–420' storage for left turns on both Tangerine Rd. and Rancho Vistoso Blvd. Median Reconstruction Median rebuilt between Woodburne Ave. and north driveway to provide dual left-turn storage. TIS FINDING: Drive-Thru vs. Convenience Store "Trip generation estimates show that the gas station option would generate more trips than the fast-food option; therefore, the gas station option was evaluated as a worst-case scenario." The fast-food/drive-thru option generates 3,483 new daily trips vs. 3,926 for the C-store — 443 fewer net new daily trips and 118 fewer new peak hour trips, resulting in less congestion impact on Tangerine Rd. and Rancho Vistoso Blvd. TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY — KEY FINDINGS 7,411 Projected Daily Trips 3,926 Net New Daily Trips 333 New Peak Hour Trips LOS D+ All Study Intersections REQUIRED ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS 1 Reconstruct median on Rancho Vistoso Blvd. between Woodburne Ave. and north project driveway (~300 ft) to provide left-turn storage in both directions 2 Construct a new traffic signal at the RVB / north project driveway intersection 3 Reconstruct median south of new signal to provide a 150-ft northbound left turn lane 4 Construct westbound right turn lane with minimum storage at the Tangerine Road project driveway TIS Conclusion (Psomas, Jan. 2025): "The queues will generally be contained within the existing storage lengths. In situations where that is not the case, the extra vehicles are expected to be served within the existing tapers and/or shoulders." CONCLUSION & ECONOMIC IMPACT — INVESTING IN ORO VALLEY'S FUTURE Tax Revenue Significant recurring sales tax generation for the Town of Oro Valley. Local Jobs Dozens of permanent retail and service positions for local residents. Neighborhood Hub Essential grocery and retail services reducing cross-town trips for Rancho Vistoso. Natural Integration 17,501 SF of preserved desert — development and conservation in balance. Vistoso Marketplace is more than retail — it is an investment in the local economy and a convenience for thousands of nearby households. We look forward to bringing this vision to life for the Rancho Vistoso community. Watch Video
