MEETING TOWN OF MARANA 9 MARANA 7
INFORMATION
1Z0
MEETING DATE: January 8, 2008 AGENDAITEM: 1.3
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: T. VanHook, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2007-03: Relating to Community Development;
granting $2,500 in Discretionary Funding to the Community Food
Bank, Inc. an Arizona 501(c)(3) non-profit organization to support
Marana Food Bank programs for Marana senior citizens, youth,
and families.
DISCUSSION
The Marana Food Bank (MFB) has been in operation since 1977 serving individuals and families
in need of food. Many of these low income individuals and families receive a regular food box
to meet their monthly need for basic nutrition. In addition to regular food boxes, MF13 also
distributes nearly 5,000 emergency food boxes annually to individuals and families in crisis.
Mission: Through education and advocacy, and the acquisition
and distribution of nutritiousfood, the Marana Food Bank will
meet the needs of the hungry in the town ofMarana.
The MF13 offers two primary programs serving residents living within the Town boundaries, the
Emergency Food Boxes and Food Plus. Emergency Food Boxes are offered by walk-in or
referTal. Food Plus us a monthly food box program that serves eligible postpartum mothers,
children ages 1-6 not eligible for WIC, and low income seniors and offers a monthly 60-pound
box of food designed to meet the nutritional needs of these higher risk groups.
Most of MFB's clients live close to poverty level ($20,650 annual income for a family of four).
The number of families and seniors requesting food boxes has risen precipitously in Marana over
the last six months, reflecting the larger economic realities of higher costs for housing, food, and
transportation. This is likely to continue for some time and may even get worse. MFB's ability to
continue to provide a nutritious food box is critical to the health and well being of families on the
edge of poverty- which is about 20% of the population in Pima County.
The total number of unduplicated persons served during FY 06-07, MFB was 3,648. This fiscal
year the number of individuals receiving food boxes has increased each month. In November,
MFB served 841 families with an Emergency Food Box which is nearly a 100% increase from
the previous year.
11212008
Funding is being requested to support transportation to and from the Community Food Bank for
the acquisition and distribution of food boxes to the Marana community, and for travel related to
food procurement in the Town of Marana.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends granting $2,500 in Discretionary Funding to the Marana Food Bank to support
the Emeraency Food Box and the Food Plus programs in providing food for Marana families.
SUGGESTED MOTION
I move to approve Resolution No. 2008-03.

amounts of industrial areas are not correlating with the State's conceptual plan in this
area. One ofthe other concerns includes environmental elements and the 30%
disturbance policy. Mr. Bolton stated that the concern is that the ACP is still in process

concern that the master planning for the property be addressed within one jurisdiction, so
that the entire property is considered as a whole. They do not want to see the property
split up into smaller sections as it would not serve in their best interest. Mr. Oliver stated
that expanding the planning area into the La Osa properties is inappropriate at this time.

INFORMATION
MEETING DATE: January 8, 2008 AGENDAITEM: J. I
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Kevin Kish, AICP, Planning Director
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING. Ordinance No. 2008.01: Relating to
Development; approving and authorizing a rezoning to create The
Shops at Tangerine and 1-10 Motorplex at Tangerine Specific
Plan.
DISCUSSION
RezoninE Reques
Westcor Marana LLC, represented by Rick Engineering requests approval of a rezoning for a
281-acre site to develop a large scale commercial/retail center with an auto park component. The
developer is proposing approximately 800,000 square feet of retail space. The subject site is
located along the west side of Interstate 10, north of Tangerine Road.
Approval of this request would rezone the subject area from the "E" (Transportation Corridor),
"B" (Medium Lot) and "C" (Large Lot) zones to "F" Specific Plan and adopt The Shops at
Tangerine and 1-10 Motorplex at Tangerine Specific Plan. The purpose of "F" zoning is to
provide ftinctionality and creativity in site planning and design that the developer cannot achieve
with conventional zoning.
General Plan
The Town of Marana General Plan Update, adopted December 19, 2007, designates the subject
area as Corridor Commerce (CC). The Corridor Commerce area along 1-10 is a highly visible
strategic commercial/employment area that is well suited for employment-based business.
The rezoning proposal requests approval of a specific plan thus requiring a land use designation
of Master Planning Area (MPA). The change in land use designation from CC to MPA requires
a minor General Plan amendment and is also to be considered as part of the Specific Plan
request.
Based upon the amendment procedures outlined in the General Plan this change in land use
designation may be processed as a minor general plan amendment. The minor general plan
amendment request may be processed concurrently with a rezoning request and approved at
public hearing.
Land Use
The Specific Plan proposes two land use designations. The Regional Retail Center (RRC)
designation will make up about 166 acres and Auto Park (AP) will take up the remaining 115
acres.
010808 7he Shops at Tangerine Specific Plan Adoption
The Regional Retail Center designation is intended to accommodate regional and local
businesses and services, and a variety of commercial and professional activities. Allowable uses
include but are not limited to major department stores, retail shops, appliance stores, theaters,
banks, offices, lodging facilities, restaurants and gas stations.
The principal uses within the Auto Park designation include but are not limited to automotive
supplies and service stations, auto dealers, service stations, and car washes. Uses within the
RRC designation are also allowed within the AP designation. The auto park is intended to serve
both the local and regional markets of the area.
Traffic Circulation
The Shops at Tangerine and 1-10 Motorplex at Tangerine Specific Plan proposes numerous
access points from the Frontage Road, Tangerine Farms Road and Clark Farms Boulevard. A
new Tangerine/1-10 interchange is being proposed approximately one-half mile north of the
current interchange, to serve the area. After construction of the new interchange, the alignment
of Tangerine Farms Road will cut across the southeast comer of this project.
Road Improvements
The necessary off-site road improvements for this project shall be in place in accordance with
conditions 2 and 3 of this rezoning. All on-site road improvements will be the responsibility of
the developer and will be designed and constructed in accordance to the approved development
and improvement plans.
The developer will dedicate to the Town of Marana all necessary rights-of-way for Clark Farms
Boulevard with the final block plat or upon request of the Town.
Sewer and Water
This project will be served by extending the existing sewer system. The developer shall prepare,
at the developer's sole expense, a Sewer Master Plan prior to recordation of the final block plat
for the property. The Sewer Master Plan will define the necessary wastewater conveyance
scheme to connect to the existing system in a location acceptable to the entity responsible for
wastewater management. The Sewer Master Plan shall also identify the necessary on-site
conveyance scheme to provide sewer connection to all of the platted lots or blocks within the
property. The Sewer Master Plan shall include a sewer phasing plan that is acceptable to the
entity responsible for wastewater management.
The Developer must prepare a Water Master Plan for the property and must enter into a Water
Service Agreement with the Marana Municipal Water Company (MMWC) prior to the approval
of the final block plat. This agreement will address potable and non-potable systems which sets
forth the various agreements of the parties relating to, among other things, the interconnection
and main extension from the existing water system, and the development, construction,
dedication, ownership, and design of the water system, including necessary storage and well(s)
necessary to serve the Property. The parties intend that MMWC will own the potable and non-
potable water systems, that MMWC will provide potable water service to the property, and that
either MMWC or other water provider will supply non-potable water service to the property
(through the non-potable water system constructed by the developer and dedicated to MMWC.
The Water Service Agreement must be in place prior to the approval of the master water plan.

Cultural Resources
This site has been surveyed and the Town's Cultural Resource Manager agrees with the findings
of SWCA Environmental Consultants that no further archaeological work needs to be done.
Fire Protection
This site is currently in the Northwest Fire Districts service area.
Desien Standards
Within the Specific Plan Sections VI and VII provide the design guidelines for this project which
are the regulatory requirements for the proposed specific plan. These guidelines provide
development standards and other criteria to evaluate and direct the planning and design within
the project area. The applicant has prepared a table of what the differences are between the
adopted Commercial Design Standards and what they are proposing. Staff finds that the
proposed differences are appropriate to provide some enhanced design capabilities and has no
objections to the proposed differences to the standards.
Citizen Participation
The applicant has scheduled a neighborhood meeting on November 8, 2007 in order to obtain
citizen input and keep the neighbors informed of the project.
The public hearing for this case was properly advertised and the appropriate surrounding
property owners were notified. As of the date of this report, no additional public comments have
been received.
Waiver of Potential Arizona Property Rh!hts Protection Act ComlDensation Claims
To protect the Town against potential claims filed under the Arizona Property Rights Protection
Act as a result of changes in the land use laws that apply to the rezoning areas by the Town's
adoption of this ordinance, staff requires the applicant waive any rights to compensation for
diminution in value by execution and recordation of the attached waiver instrument: the Consent
to Conditions of Rezoning and Waiver of Claims for Possible Diminution of Value Resulting
from Town of Marana. Ordinance No. 2008.01. Ordinance No. 2008.01 is not operative unless
and until the applicant waives any potential compensation claims.
If the applicant doesn't forward the waiver in time to record it within 90 days after the ordinance
is passed, the ordinance becomes null and void, as if no action were ever taken to pass the
ordinance.
ATTACHMENTS
Summary application, location map and specific plan document.

Plan subject to the conditions below.

MEETING DATE: January 8, 2008 AGENDAITEM: J. 3
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Kevin Kish, AICP, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2008-08: Relating to Development; removing from
all applicable Gladden Farms plats the plat note regarding side
yard fence returns.
DISCUSSION
Reques
The developer Gladden Forest LLC and the Gladden Farms Homeowners Association request
removal of the following plat note from all of the applicable Gladden Farms final plats that have
been recorded:
"The applicant shall provide the fence returns on the interior side yards towards the
rear of the lot1home and install additional landscaping, as accepted by the Planning
Director, between the street and thefence return.
Histor
The Gladden Farms development has been platted with a general note placed on the plats that
restricts the location of the fence return, essentially limiting encroachment beyond the midpoint
of the house. This has become a difficult restriction to manage not only with the Town but also
with the homeowners association. Homeowners have requested that their fence returns be
moved up for various reasons such as to meet rear garage doors that they had installed in order to
have rear yard access to their garage or enclose a child's bedroom window into the rear yard for
security or safety reasons. Requests such as these have been denied by the Town and the HOA.
There have also been issues with homeowners extending their fences without permission or
building the fence under the five feet height that requires a building permit.
Staff understands the intent of this restriction was to give a wider, more open appearance
between homes, but it is the findings of staff that the old and new versions of the residential
design standards provide enhanced appearances of the homes. Staff also recognizes that this
restriction has only been placed on the Gladden Farms development and no other housing project
within the Town. Therefore, by removing this plat note the Town would not be allowing any
additional privilege not all ready given to all other subdivisions.

We have had numerous requests from homeowners asking to be allowed to bring their side-yard
fence returns forward of the midpoint of their home. Reasons for the requests are that
homeowners would like more enclosed backyard area, they want more security by enclosing a
child's bedroom window into the backyard, and they want to tie their garage "man-door" on the
side of the house into the backyard. The note, which reads "THE APPLICANT S14ALL

PROVIDE THE FENCE RETURNSON THE INTERIOR SIDE YARDS TOWARDS THE
REAR OF THE HOME AND INSTALL ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING, AS ACCEPTED
BY THE PLANNING DIRECTOR, BETWEEN THE STREET AND THE FENCE RETURN"
was originally implemented in 2003 because blocks I I and 12 of Gladden Farms were to be built
as subdivisions with all two story homes. The Town of Marana Planning Department and the
developer felt that moving the fence returns towards the back of the house would give the
neighborhood a more open feel. We feel that since the Town of Marana residentialdesign
standards were updated in 2004 and again in 2005 to guarantee that the communities have a more
open and varied feel, and that since all of the blocks in Gladden Farms were designed to the
updated 2004 and 2005 standards, with no more than 50% of the homes in the subdivision being
two stories, that the plat note should be waived from the aforementioned plats by the Town of
Marana Planning Department and the Town of Marana Mayor and Council.

DISCUSSION
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has issued draft floodplain maps showing
their intended floodplain remapping of Marana by decertifying levee like structures including the
CAP canal, Interstate-10, and the Union Pacific Railroad. The floodplain proposed by FEMA is
not being done as part of a drainage study.
On November 6, 2007 Council directed that Town staff conduct a large scale drainage study to
show the actual drainage patterns and flood prone risks in these areas. Through an emergency
procurement process, Town staff requested qualifications from three qualified drainage firms.
Town staff also displayed the drainage study request for qualifications on its website and sent
which sent out automatic notifications to subscribers for proposals. Town staff convened a
review panel consisting of Town engineers, management, and an outside panelist from Pima
County Regional Flood Control District to review the proposals.
was the consulting firm selected by the review panel to perform this work. Based
upon discussions, Town staff has agreed upon a phase I contract amount not to exceed
- . Phase I work will generally consist of building the overall hydrologic model
needed to show true flood hazard areas in the Town affected by the FEMA remapping and work
towards the ultimate shaping of FEMA's floodplain maps.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The study will be performed for an amount not to exceed $ Funding for the study is
identified within the Marana drainage project budget (CIP# 2008-153-005).

TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Jocelyn C. Bronson, Town Clerk
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2008-11: Relating to Boards, Commissions and
Committees; approving and authorizing the establishment of the
Police Citizen Advisory Commission
DISCUSSION
Marana continues to grow and mature on many levels. With this growth comes a commensurate
increase in work load, primarily through staff and council activity. However, public
participation has proved successful for municipalities, especially in formulating public policy
and developing and maintaining innovative programs. Citizens of Marana increasingly seek
opportunities to be more involved and contribute to their community. Programs such as CREW,
the Citizens Policy Academy and VIPS have prepared many of our residents for more active
roles in Marana government.
Council has approved the formation of the Parks and Recreation Citizen Advisory Commission,
the Affordable Housing Citizen Advisory Commission, the Utilities Advisory Commission, and
the Business and Economic Development Citizen Advisory Commission. Staff is now asking
Council to approve another commission to help in the prevention of crime and maintain a
positive communication of trust and understanding in the community by establishing the Police
Citizen Advisory Commission.
A copy of the Police Citizen Advisory Commission description is attached.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the establishment of a 7-member Police Citizen Advisory Commission.

TOWN COUNCIL
MEETING TOWN OF MARANA MARANA 7
INFORMATION
MEETING DATE: January 8, 2008 AGENDAITEM: L. I
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Jane Fairall, Deputy Town Attorney
Keith Brann, P.E., Town Engineer/Assistant Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Discussion and direction regarding proposed amend-
ments to Title 12 (Traffic) of the Marana town code, regulating
construction in town rights-of-way, establishing a permit process,
providing penalties for violation and repealing the current uncodi-
fied ordinance regulating construction in town rights-of-way.
DISCUSSION
In September 1991, the Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 91.21 (attached). The ordinance
regulated construction in Town rights-of-way through two separate sets of regulations: one set
for construction of public improvements in Town rights-of-way and one set for routine utility
service connections and maintenance in Town rights-of-way. Ordinance No. 91.21 remains in
effect; however, it was never codified and thus, does not appear in the Town Code. More re-
cently, the Public Works Department adopted an addendum to Ordinance 91.21 (attached) which
prescribed rules to be applied to roadway pavement cuts for pavement that is five years old or
less.
Approximately one year ago, Town staff, including members of the Public Works Department,
Construction Management Division and Development Engineering Division, as well as the Legal
Department, began a review of Ordinance No. 91.21. The attached proposed ordinance com-
bines the two separate sets of regulations of Ordinance No. 91.21 into one comprehensive ordi-
nance. The proposed ordinance also includes the regulations set forth in the addendum adopted
by the Public Works Department. Adoption of the proposed ordinance would serve to repeal Or-
dinance No. 91.21 to the extent it is inconsistent with the new proposal. Moreover, the new or-
dinance would be included in Title 12 of the town code.
The proposed ordinance requires all persons, contractors, utility companies, etc. to obtain a per-
mit from the Town prior to doing any construction or other work in the Town's rights-of-ways.
The permit requirement extends to all parties and all work, except for work done for Town pur-
poses, using Town personnel and equipment. The ordinance sets forth the permit process, all
construction requirements and all inspection requirements in great detail. Many of these provi-
sions are substantially similar to the provisions in Ordinance No. 91.21, but vague language has
been replaced with more specific language and procedures have been brought into conformity
with actual practices of the Town.
(00007417.DOCII JF 1212 710 7
Staff is proposing one major change to the ordinance. Currently, a violation of Ordinance No.
91.21 is a criminal offense, specifically a class I misdemeanor, punishable by a sentence of up to
six months in jail, a $2500 fine and three years of probation. The proposed ordinance would
make a violation a civil infraction, punishable by a fine established by the Council through adop-
tion of the development services fee schedule. The most current fee schedule was adopted by
Ordinance No. 2006.07 on April 4, 2006 and calls for a $1,500 fine for violations of the right-of-
way ordinance. Staff proposes this change to better facilitate enforcement of the ordinance. The
Town's right-of-way and construction inspectors are authorized to cite for civil violations only;
any criminal offenses must be cited by the Police or the Town Prosecutor's Office. Changing the
violation to a civil offense will allow the people who have the most knowledge of the require-
ments of the ordinance, the inspectors, to issue citations in the field which will in turn lead to
more accountability for offenders.
Staff requests feedback and direction from Council concerning the proposed Traffic provisions.
