EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The purpose of this item is to consider a zoning amendment (Attachment 2) for twenty-four R1-144 zoned parcels located south of Tortolita Mountain Circle (see image to right). The proposed amendment removes a condition limiting the minimum lot size to 180,000 square feet to enable the standard R1-144 minimum lot size of 144,000 square feet, applied to all other R1-144 zoned properties. This is to resolve a longstanding issue in the area. Issue: As part of the annexation into the Town, a unique zoning condition was approved limiting the minimum lot size in this area to 180,000 square feet. Since these properties were annexed in 2004, both Pima County and the Town of Oro Valley have approved lot splits based on the underlying R1-144 zoning minimum lot size of 144,000 square feet. This has resulted in ten legally non-compliant lots, which makes these parcels difficult to develop. Proposed Solution: Town staff recommends approval of the zoning amendment to remove the lot size condition for all twenty-four affected parcels, which enables the standard R1-144 minimum lot size of 144,000 square feet to take effect. The proposed zoning amendment will achieve the following:  Resolves the issue for current legal non-conforming properties Prevents similar issues from occurring for the remaining parcels Applies the same lot size standard uniformly on all R1-144 properties in Oro Valley Does not remove any rights from the affected property owners Increases density (144,000 sq. ft. versus 180,000 sq. ft.), but conforms with the existing 'Your Voice, Our Future' General Plan land use designation (Rural Low Density Residential) Therefore, staff recommends approval of the proposed zoning amendment. BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION: HISTORY In 2004, the Town of Oro Valley annexed several properties south of Tortolita Mountain Circle through Ordinance (O)04-14A. Per State law, an equivalent Town zoning district must be applied within 6 months of the annexation through a process known as translational zoning. In this case, the properties were all formerly zoned Pima County Rural Homestead. They were translationally zoned to Town of Oro Valley R1-144, which has the Town's closet equivalent zoning standards to Pima County Rural Homestead. However, the minimum lot size for Rural Homestead was retained (180,000 sq. ft.), which is unusual and not standard practice in applying new R1-144 zoning. This action created unintended consequences. Through minutes and staff reports, it is evident that the condition was recommended by Town staff and was not suggested as a response to neighbor concerns nor added by the Planning and Zoning Commission or Town Council. Without awareness of this unusual and unnecessary use of the County minimum lot size, both Pima County and the Town of Oro Valley have approved lot splits based on the underlying R1-144 zoning minimum lot size of 144,000 square feet, which is below the 180,000 square feet minimum lot size condition. This has resulted in ten legally non-compliant lots, which makes these parcels difficult to legally develop. A table of the affected parcels and their conformance is shown below:    Parcel Compliance with 180,000 sq ft. min. lot size 21916001D Complies 21916003A Complies 21916005A Complies 21916005B Complies 21916007A Complies 21916007B Complies 21915001C Non-compliant 21915001D Non-compliant 21915001E Non-compliant 219150040 Complies 219150050 Complies 219150060 Complies 21916001B Complies List of parcels and compliance status 219160020 Complies 21915007B Non-compliant 21915007C Complies 21915007D Complies 21916016A Non-compliant 21916016B Non-compliant 21916016C Non-compliant 21915008A Non-compliant 21915008B Non-compliant 21915009A Non-compliant 219120160 Complies The parcels bolded in the table above will have difficulty obtaining zoning approval and permits for development until this zoning issue is resolved. DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS A. PROPOSED ZONING AMENDMENT To resolve the non-compliance issue, the proposed zoning amendment removes the condition requiring a 180,00 sq. ft. minimum lot size for all lots in the affected area. Removal of this condition enables the R1-144 standard minimum lot size to take effect. The proposed amendment solves current issues while preventing similar ones from occurring in the future. The proposed zoning amendment does not remove any existing zoning rights, yet instead it creates a parity of rights for these properties and brings the annexation area into the same uniform zoning standards applied to all other R1-144 properties through the Town. Approval of this zoning amendment will allow properties within this area to subdivide into parcels a minimum of 144,000 sq. ft. in size instead of the currently required 180,000 sq. ft., resulting in more density than currently allowed. However, the proposed density still meets the Town's General Plan definition of Rural Low Density Residential (see subsection B). B. GENERAL PLAN COMPLIANCE The affected properties have a designation of Rural Low Density Residential. This land designation represents areas where single-family homes on large lots are intended. The lot sizes in this land use designation allow for substantial setbacks between individual homes in order to maintain a rural character and retain the natural environment. Density in this land use designation can range up to 0.3 homes per acre. A minimum lot size of 144,000 sq. ft. conforms with this land use designation. PUBLIC NOTICE Public notice for the hearing was provided as follows:  Notification of subject parcel owners and all property owners within 600 feet Homeowners Association mailing Advertisement in The Daily Territorial newspaper Post on property Post at Town Hall and on Town website Since the proposed zoning amendment does not take away any existing property rights, the Town does not need permission from each individual property owner. As a courtesy, Town staff sent letters and requested feedback (see Attachment 3) from all affected property owners. In total, 15 parties own the affected properties and five responses were received, four in support and one neutral. In addition to the letters, an informational video was posted online. Lastly, a neighborhood meeting was held on October 12, 2021. A summary of the meeting is provided in Attachment 4. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION To summarize, these twenty-four R1-144 zoned parcels are affected by a zoning condition that creates an unusual minimum lot size greater than the standard Town of Oro Valley R1-144 minimum lot size. Almost half of the existing parcels do not comply with this standard because it is not common to the translational zoning process. Until this issue is resolved, existing non-compliant properties will have difficulty obtaining permitting approval, and currently compliant properties may risk becoming non-compliant in the future. To resolve this issue, Town staff is leading this effort to remove the zoning condition. Removing the translational zoning condition requiring, "the minimum lot size of 180,000 square feet shall be maintained." will bring this area into the same standard that all other R1-144 zoned properties throughout the Town use. Furthermore, the proposed zoning amendment does not remove any rights from the affected property owners and is in conformance with the 'Your Voice, Our Future' General Plan. In conclusion, Town staff recommend approval of the proposed zoning amendment finding it is in conformance with the General Plan. FISCAL IMPACT: N/A SUGGESTED MOTION: The Planning and Zoning Commission may consider the following motions: I MOVE to recommend approval of the zoning amendment to apply the standard R1-144 minimum lot size of 144,000 square feet to the affected parcels listed in Attachment 1, based on the finding it is in compliance with the General Plan. OR I MOVE to recommend denial of the zoning amendment to apply the standard R1-144 minimum lot size of 144,000 square feet to the affected parcels listed in Attachment 1, based on the following: ___________.

This was due to an unusual application of the previous county zoning, Rural Homestead (RH) lot size of 180,000 sf. was applied rather than adopting the Town’s R1-144 zoning district lot size requirement of 144,000 sf. Currently, the problem with this condition is several existing properties are smaller than the minimum 180,000 sf lot size and may have difficulty developing or obtaining building permits. However, the properties do meet the allowed minimum lot size of an R1-144 zoning district. To remedy this issue, staff is requesting Town Council remove this zoning condition and utilize the R1-144 zoning minimum lot size of 144,000 square feet. If this request is approved by Town Council, all existing properties will be in conformance with zoning. This letter represents the first step in this process. Town staff is taking several steps to keep the community informed as we propose to remove this zoning condition. For more information, staff has recorded a video that will be posted on OVprojects.com on Monday, September 27 under the case name Lots S. of Tortolita Mountain Cir and W. of King Air Dr, Zoning Amendment - 2102160. Additionally, we invite you to participate in an online, fully interactive neighborhood meeting to ask questions or discuss any concerns you have with staff on October 12 at 6:00 pm. You will receive a postcard with instructions on how to participate soon. The process to remove the zoning condition is expected to take approximately three months. This request requires consideration by the Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Council, both hearings tentatively scheduled in November. You will be notified of these meetings and invited to speak at each. There is no cost to you as a result of this process, however, we are seeking your acknowledgment and feedback. Enclosed with this letter is a form for you to return, which will serve as your recognition of receipt of this information and position on the request. Staff apologizes for any inconvenience and encourage you to watch the informational video and participate in the online neighborhood meeting. In the meantime, if you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to reach me. Best regards, Kyle Packer, LEED GA Planner I, Town of Oro Valley (520) 229-4822 kpacker@orovalleyaz.gov Greetings from the Town of Oro Valley, Per the attached letter, the Town of Oro Valley staff aim is to correct an issue on all properties annexed through Ordinance (O)04-14A. This includes your property(s) zoned R-144. Specifically, a zoning condition limiting properties to a minimum lot size of 180,000 square feet was approved during the annexation process in 2004. This means existing properties smaller than this minimum lot size may have difficulty developing or obtaining building permits. To remedy this issue for all property owners in the annexation area, staff is requesting Town Council remove this condition in favor of using the existing zoning district’s minimum lot size of 144,000 square feet. For more information about the history and purpose of this request, please go to OVprojects.com. Thank you for taking time to review this information. We request you return this form, which serves as your receipt of notification, and position on staff’s request. Please select an option below, sign, and return your response no later than October 15, 2021. I have received notice of Town staff’s request to remove the zoning condition requiring, “The minimum lot size of 180,000 square feet shall be maintained.” If approved, removal allows properties to be a minimum of 144,000 sf. ꙱ I am in favor of the request to remove this condition. ꙱ I am opposed to the request to remove this condition. ___________________________________________________________________ Address(es) ___________________________________________ __________________ First and Last Name Date Please return this signed form or provide an email regarding your question, comment, and/or position through either method below: Please return scanned, digital copies to: planning@orovalleyaz.gov Please return physical copies of this signed form to: CED Bldg., Planning and Zoning Division 11000 N La Cañada Dr Oro Valley, AZ 85737 1 Neighborhood Meeting Summary Proposed zoning amendment to enable the standard 144,000 sq. ft. minimum lot size for lots S. of Tortolita Mountain Circle and west of King Air Drive. Zoom Online Meeting October 12, 2021 6:00 – 7:30 PM Introductions and Welcome Meeting facilitator Kyle Packer, Planner I, introduced the agenda for the meeting and public participation process. Approximately 11 residents and interested parties attended, including Council Member Nicolson, and Planning and Zoning Commissioners Herrington, Sturmon, and Posey. Town Staff Presentation Kyle Packer, Planner I and the Town’s project manager for this proposal, provided a presentation that included: • Project purpose • Location • Annexation and translational zoning process • Comparison of previous, current, and proposed zoning • Affected properties Public Questions & Comments The following concerns and comments were voiced: • What was the public outreach process for properties impacted by this zoning amendment? • In addition to the minimum lot size, are other zoning standards different between the subject properties and the Town’s R1-144 zoning district? Conclusion As a Town-initiated zoning amendment, Mr. Packer answered questions about the project. It was determined additional neighborhood meetings were not necessary as all questions had been answered. Mr, Packer provided information about future opportunities for the public to stay involved.

Meeting Date:11/02/2021   Requested by: Bayer Vella, Community and Economic Development  Case Number: 2102294 SUBJECT: DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING A PROPOSED BUILDING HEIGHT INCREASE FOR CDO BAPTIST CHURCH LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST INTERSECTION OF ORACLE ROAD AND CALLE CONCORDIA, 2102294 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The purpose of this item is to consider a request to increase the building height of an existing architec tural feature on the CDO Baptist Church located at the northeast intersection of Oracle Road and Calle Concordia (see image at right). The subject property is located in the Private Schools (PS) zoning district which establishes a maximum building height of 24 feet, with an additional 10 feet for architectural features with Planning and Zoning Commission approval. The existing tower feature is at a height of 27 feet, 6 inches which was approved as part of the Master Development Plan in 2005. The applicant's request (Attachment 1) is to increase the height to 31 feet, 6 inches to accommodate a replacement communication facility. The bell tower feature maintains the varied roof-line of the approved architecture and remains consistent with the Design Principles and Standards of the Zoning Code. As such, staff recommends approval of the applicant's request. BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION: The purpose of this item is to consider a request (Attachment 1) to increase the building height for the existing bell tower (shown at right) on the CDO Baptist Church located at the northeast corner of Oracle Road and Calle Concordia. The subject property is located within the Private Schools (PS) zoning district which establishes a maximum building height of 24 feet. However, the zoning district does enable an additional ten (10) feet for architectural features subject to Planning and Zoning Commission approval. The site currently includes several buildings and features at similar heights or taller than the proposed bell tower height of 31 feet, 6 inches. The existing cross feature (shown at right) is the same height, while the Sanctuary (approved and constructed in 2016) is 36 feet in height. The bell tower architectural feature was approved as part of the Master Development Plan in 2005. The applicant's request is to increase the building height four (4) feet (see graphic below) - from 27 feet, 6 inches to 31 feet, 6 inches to accommodate a larger replacement communication facility for the one currently within the tower. The communication facility is considered a Tier 1 facility and is subject to administrative approval as it is entirely enclosed within the architectural feature. The sole focus of the applicant's request is the proposed building height. If the request is approved, the increase would only apply to the bell tower architectural feature.    The applicant's request maintains the varied roof-line of the existing approved architecture, will utilize the same colors and materials and will not be higher than existing structures on the site. The request is consistent with all applicable Zoning Code requirements, including the Design Principles and Standards, and staff recommends approval. FISCAL IMPACT: N/A SUGGESTED MOTION: I MOVE to APPROVE the proposed building height increase to 31 feet, 6 inches for the bell tower architectural feature only, based on a finding it is in conformance with all applicable Zoning Code requirements. OR I MOVE to DENY the proposed building height increase, based on a finding that _____. Attachments ATTACHMENT 1 - APPLICANT'S PROPOSAL  40 W BASELINE ROAD, SUITE 115TEMPE, AZ 85283PH50538A9200 N.

Meeting Date:11/02/2021   Requested by: Bayer Vella, Community and Economic Development  Case Number: 2102288 SUBJECT: DISCUSSION REGARDING A PROPOSED ZONING CODE AMENDMENT TO OFF-STREET PARKING (SECTION 27.7) AND OFF-STREET LOADING (SECTION 27.8), AND OTHER RELATED SECTIONS RECOMMENDATION: This item is for discussion only. The proposed code amendment will be considered for recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission at the December Meeting. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The purpose of this item is to provide background and information for a proposed zoning code amendment (Attachment 1) to revise off-street parking, off-street loading, and other related standards. The need was recognzied under 'Your Voice, Our Future' General Plan Action 146 and this proposed code amendment is included in the Planning Division Workplan and also meets the goals of the Town's Strategic Leadership Plan under the focus of economic vitality. Altogether, the proposed amendment aims to update outdated standards towards three main objectives:  Safety and convenience for Oro Valley residents and patrons of Oro Valley businesses Long-term success of the Town's diverse businesses Forward-thinking environmental and landscape design To achieve these objectives, staff gathered information from professional resources such as the Institute of Traffic Engineers, similar jurisdictions, and performed hands-on research and site visits to local businesses. It became evident the current code includes outdated standards. While some proposed changes were identified through outreach to local Oro Valley businesses through a survey (Attachment 4) regarding parking needs, the majority were identified through trusted technical resources. Off-street parking and loading standards are a long-standing part of the Zoning Code and are integral to the efficient use of land and serving patrons and businesses. Though these standards have been modified over the years, they are in need of revision to reflect needs in Oro Valley and today's market. With this latest proposed revision, a number of key changes are being recommended: 1. Revise the Parking Ratio Table: Town staff propose a number of changes to right-size parking space ratios based on decades of research conducted and compiled by the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE), published in the  Parking Generation Manual. The ratios provided by ITE have also been evaluated by Town staff through local case studies. Attachment 2 is the proposed code version of this table, while Attachment 3 is a review version that includes the closest equivalent current Town standard, as well as the source of the proposed standard for each use in the table. 2. Remove separate Planned Area Development Parking standards: Eight Town Planned Area Developments (PAD) have parking standards separate from the Zoning Code. These PAD standards are outdated; only half have had any section updated within the last decade, and parking standards within all of these documents have rarely if ever been updated, leaving most two or three decades behind current research. Striking these sections from their respective documents will allow future revisions to the Off-Street Parking and Off-Street Loading code sections to have uniform applicability for all of Oro Valley's businesses. 3. Enable Alternative Use of parking lots: As part of the measures to respond to COVID-19, the Town granted temporary flexibility in the use of parking lots, allowing uses such as restaurant seating expansions in parking lots. A survey of local businesses indicates strong support for continued flexibility in permitting alternative use of parking lots for activities such as restaurant seating, exercise classes, farmers markets and more. The proposed amendment includes this flexibility, which creates opportunities for unique community gathering spaces and a wide range of public activities.  4. Revise the Alternative Parking Ratio approval process: Under the proposed amendment to the Alternative Parking Ratio process, the Planning and Zoning Commission remains the deciding body for Alternative Parking Ratios seeking a greater than 10% increase in parking spaces, or a greater than 20% reduction in parking spaces. Alternative Parking Ratios falling below these thresholds may be administratively approved. 5. Miscellaneous Off-Street Parking and Off-Street Loading code revisions: Beyond the above changes, a number of other related standards and definitions are proposed to be updated to reflect current best practices. This includes topics such as:  Landscape islands Refuse Mobility impaired parking spaces Transit stops In summary, the proposed code amendment (Attachment 1) primarily meets Action 146 of the 'Your Voice, Our Future' General Plan while additionally fulfilling objectives of the Strategic Leadership Plan and Planning Division Workplan. Updating parking ratios for permitted uses and expanding opportunities to respond to economic conditions will enable Oro Valley to attract and retain businesses. Lastly, by removing outdated standards and incorporating new research and best practices, Oro Valley can meet a wide range of Your Voice, Our Future General Plan goals and policies to enhance the safety of business patrons, enable the long-term success of Oro Valley businesses, and lead in environmental and landscape design. This item is being presented for discussion only to inform and get feedback from the Planning and Zoning Commission. The proposed code amendment will be presented for consideration at the December meeting. BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION: BACKGROUND Off-street parking and loading standards are a long-standing part of the Zoning Code and are integral to the efficient use of land. They ensure safety and convenience for business patrons, support the long term success of businesses, and drive environmental and landscape design standards for a major portion of commercial sites. While these standards have been modified over the years, they are outdated and in need of revision to reflect user needs.  Although primarily meeting Action item 146 of the 'Your Voice, Our Future' General Plan, the proposed amendment also meets a focus area in the Town's Strategic Leadership Plan to implement actions to support and assist local businesses in navigating current and projected economic conditions. To achieve this goal, the Planning Division Workplan identified amending the Off-Street Parking code as an opportunity to update outdated standards and assist local businesses in adapting to emerging consumer buying habits.  RESEARCH / SURVEY PROCESS The changes proposed below are based on a number of trusted sources:  The Institute of Traffic Engineers' (ITE) Parking Generation Manual: Currently in its fifth edition, the ITE manual is a compilation of decades of parking studies to accurately identify parking demand by use. 1. Hands-on research performed by Staff: Staff performed numerous site visits, aerial inspections, and outreach activities to local businesses to verify parking needs for uses where ITE recommended parking ratios were different enough from the current Town standard to pursue updating the Town standards. 2. Similar jurisdictions : For permitted uses with no established ITE parking studies, Staff utilized existing code from similar jurisdictions. These jurisdictions included Pima County and the City of Tucson, Fountain Hills, Flagstaff and more. The use of these was limited wherever possible as there is a recognized issue where 3. Flagstaff and more. The use of these was limited wherever possible as there is a recognized issue where jurisdictions may circularly reference each other's standards without independent analysis. In every instance these standards were considered, they were considered alongside exercises performed by Town staff as described above. Survey of Oro Valley businesses : Another informant for this process was direct feedback from Oro Valley businesses, through a brief 12-question survey created by Oro Valley Planning division staff and disseminated to Oro Valley businesses through the Economic Development Division as well as the Oro Valley Chamber of Commerce. Staff received sixty-eight responses over a two-week period, and full results can be found in Attachment 4. The highlights of this survey are bulleted below: 4. 68 Respondents, a mixture of office, retail, restaurant, and more: 60% say parking supply is adequate 70% are in favor of alternative uses for parking lots Altogether, these sources and studies informed the changes identified in the next section. KEY CHANGES 1. Revise the Parking Table (Attachment 2: Code Draft) & (Attachment 3: Review Version): Town staff are proposing right-sizing parking ratios based on the current data from the expert source; the Institute of Traffic Engineer's Parking Generation Manual, currently in its fifth edition. These resources support most of the Town's existing standards. Where they differ enough to warrant changes, Staff have conducted a range of efforts to confirm the need for a change, from phone interviews and analysis of aerials of businesses to site visits at peak demand hours. The parking ratios proposed for each use have the foremost goal of accurately meeting demand. Included in Attachment 3 is a detailed list of the existing, proposed, and source for each parking category. While the Town has over 80 separate permitted/conditional uses, the current parking table has 23 categories, leaving the parking ratio for many permitted uses reliant on subjective determination during the early stages of the application process. This amendment additionally seeks to reduce the need for these subjective determinations by providing a clear parking ratio for each use in the Permitted Use Table. 2. Remove outdated parking standards in Planned Area Development documents: A number of the Town's approved Planned Area Developments (PAD) have separate parking standards. These standards can be difficult for applicants to find, and have never been revised, leading to standards that don't meet the current or projected needs of Oro Valley businesses or the customers they serve.  One such example is Noble Hops, a bar and restaurant within the El Conquistador PAD. This PAD currently requires 1 parking space per 200 square feet of restaurant floor area, or 5 spaces per 1000 square feet. The Town standard is 10 spaces per 1000 square feet, double the current PAD requirement. After a case study of Noble Hops, research into standards recommended by the National Parking Association and the Urban Land Institute, and comparing our standards to those of similar jurisdictions including Pima County and Fountain Hills, Town staff are recommending the parking ratio for bar uses be modified to 20 spaces per 1000 square feet, or four times as much parking as Noble Hops currently has. Confirmed through Staff site visits on an early Friday evening, this example highlights both the need for separate PAD standards to be removed, and for the Zoning Code standards to be updated. These PAD amendments, to be included in the presentation for consideration in December, remove outdated standards, simplify the process of determining applicable parking ratios, and ensure the parking standards for these areas are updated when the Zoning Code is again updated to reflect the next era of parking standards. 3. Enable Temporary and Alternative Use of parking lots: A survey of local businesses (Attachment 4) revealed strong support for alternative uses of parking lots, such as restaurant seating, exercise classes, and farmers markets, with approximately 70% of respondents favoring alternative parking uses being allowed. Some of these uses were temporarily granted as part of the response to COVID-19 and have helped local businesses adapt to evolving consumer buying habits. This proposed amendment supports the long-term success of Oro Valley businesses and increases the community's ability to create and access unique gathering spaces and a range of public activities. 4. Revise Alternative Parking Ratio approval process: Currently, parking required by the Zoning Code represents both a maximum and minimum number of spaces required for each use. When a project seeks a higher or lower number, the code allows for Alternative Parking Ratios when approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Under the proposed revision to the Alternative Parking Ratio process, the Planning and Zoning Commission remains the deciding body for Alternative Parking Ratios seeking a greater than 10% increase in parking spaces, or a greater than 20% reduction in parking spaces. Alternative Parking Ratios falling below these thresholds may be administratively approved.  This was derived from an analysis of Alternative Parking provisions, none of which have been denied at the Planning and Zoning Commission. For many small businesses, the current maximum/minimum requirement proves challenging. An example project on Oracle Road was delayed over a site design deviating from approved ratios by two parking spaces. This revision to the code will allow administrative approval of reasonable deviations from the approved ratios while ensuring the Planning and Zoning Commission reviews and approves significant changes. 5. Miscellaneous Off-Street Parking and Off-Street Loading code revisions: Beyond the above changes, a number of other related standards and definitions are proposed to be updated to reflect current best practices. This includes topics such as:  Landscape islands - Modifying standards to allow better implementation of solar covered parking by allowing continuous solar covered parking beyond 9 parking spaces wide, and removing the requirement for trees at adjacent islands, which will reduce the efficiency of solar panels, and allowing desert landscape vegetation. Refuse - Specifying refuse locations are subject to building setbacks and limiting hours of pick-up from dawn to dusk to protect nearby residents from noise associated with service vehicles Mobility impaired parking spaces - Removing outdated standards and implementing language to ensure standards are always current  Transit stops - Providing Town Engineer flexibility in approving transit stops GENERAL PLAN CONFORMANCE AND STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP PLAN COMPLIANCE Foremost, this proposed code amendment conforms with Action 146 of the 'Your Voice, Our Future' General Plan, which reads: "Re-examine Zoning Code parking ratios as part of overall transportation planning in areas where transportation other than the automobile are available.". The majority of the Town's commercial centers are well-connected through a mixed network of sidewalks, dedicated bike lanes, trails and multi-use paths. These proposed changes additionally support many of the plan's goals and policies. Below are some highlights of goals and policies met through this proposed amendment:  Economy:  E.1 - Develop a diversified and robust economic base to support long-term economic stability E.3 - Promote Oro Valley as an ideal destination for economic activity, tourism, shopping, cultural attractions, research and development Complete Community:  CC.6 - Promote the creation of unique community gathering places that are inviting, walkable, attractive and vibrant and offer commercial, entertainment or cultural activity.

These regulations are intended to: 1. Ensure sufficient off-street vehicle and bicycle parking facilities by establishing parking requirements for land uses. 2. Reduce the visual impact of mass “seas of parking” by distributing spaces around clusters of buildings. 3. Reduce excessive off-street parking by encouraging the shared use of vehicular use areas. 4. Promote pedestrian safety by separating vehicular use areas from pedestrian areas. 5. Encourage safe, convenient, and efficient design of parking spaces, circulation, and access areas. 6. Improve air quality by requiring paving of vehicular use areas. 7. Promote the enhancement of the community identity and the appearance of Town roadways and development areas. 8. The Town of Oro Valley, in keeping with the Federal Clean Air Act, wishes to encourage the use of alternative transportation modes such as the bicycle. Reducing the number of vehicular parking spaces in favor of bicycle parking spaces will help attain the standards of the Federal Clean Air Act, reduce impervious surfaces, and save on land and development costs. B. Applicability The provisions of this Section apply to: 1. New Development 2. New Uses Replacing Existing Uses Whenever the use of an existing development is changed to a new use which requires more parking spaces under this Section than were required for the prior use, additional parking spaces shall be provided in accordance with the requirements of this Section. No occupancy permit shall be issued until the Planning and Planning and Zoning Administrator has approved the parking requirements for the new use.

We have a new property owner with plans to resurface the lot. 1 The asphalt should be replaced.1 Our back parking has a drainage problem. Plenty of debris from storms.1 Need repainted parking lines. Currently, there are old lines with newer lines not painted directly over t he old lines.

By pushing the road access back by 20ft and p utting in better walkways we would see additional foot traffic. Right now people drive way too fast past my business endangering my customers. 1 the Safeway plaza on Rancho Vistoso had issues with illegal dumping which has improved. When the empty suite next to us gets rented out, and if it is a restaurant again, there will be a parking shortage. 1 Please ask people that work in the businesses to park out in the lots to allow customers closer access to each business. 1 Oro Vista will be very challenged once they build the new apartments.1 On the side of the building, there are parking spaces and in between two of the spaces is an unneces sary curb that has shrubs in the middle. The parking spaces are small enough let alone the shrubs tha t are big to cause a lot of door dinging. 1 Nothing else to add.1 More signage is necessary. The step back from the street is ridiculous and no one can see the restaur ants. 1 I'd like to see handicapped parking spaces better distributed within our center. When you asked about customer parking, in our center it's more about employee parking; most of our neighbors are service b usinesses with more workers than customers coming into the property. Directional signage would be a big help. I'd like to see more done with water harvesting, too. Overall, though, our center is well-run, w ith responsive ownership. 1 I would LOVE it if the Town of Oro Valley would consider cultural attraction signage, for the farmer's m arket, galleries, studios like ours...... Anything that will make it easier for visitors to find us. Are we allo wed to put up temporary signs or banners for a daytime event out in the right of way, where folks need to turn in? Artists are asking. 1 I would like to see some signs for a couple of spots per business as one of the businesses here is a b ridge club where members come and park for hours leaving other businesses with no spaces for our c lients to park unless we put out our own signs and then rude members still park in our spots. 1 0 8/6/2021 Town of Oro Valley Parking Survey 2021 https://survey123.arcgis.com/surveys/792aec9f22a04a618b9807e27a4c04f2/analyze?position=0.name_of_business&chart=0.not_maintained:{"sho…10/10 Name of Business &Oro Valley LLC Arizona Physical Therapy Inc.Tucson BracesWow Wise Studio Southern Associates Mountain BISTRO RealAce Hardware Fitness centerPizza l.
