A. 2 TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL FROM: Barbara C. Berlin, Planning Director SUBJECT: Resolution No.2005-19: Relating Development; ratifying the recommendation of approval by the Manager's Design Review Committee regarding design review for the Silverbell Wade Commercial Center. DISCUSSION APPLICANT: Mesquite Ridge Builders Inc., represented by McCarty Engineering Inc., 320 N Alturas Street, Tucson, Arizona 85705. LOCATION: The subject property is located in an un-subdivided area of Continental Ranch that is located at the northwest corner of Silverbell Road and Wade Road within a portion of Section 27, Township 12 South, and Range 12 East. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Silverbell Road Corridor Overlay District (S.R.C.O.D.) applies to all new commercial development occurring within its defined boundaries. A Design Review Overlay is superimposed over the S.R.C.O.D. The purpose of the Design Review Overlay is to guide the general appearance of sites and buildings within the district. The Manager's Design Review Committee, including five (5) members and one (1) alternate, was formed to review and provide recommendation to Town Council regarding all new commercial development within the S.R.C.O.D. Per the requirements of the S.R.C.O.D., the Manager's Design Review recommendation is forwarded by the Planning Department to Town Council for consideration, which "shall act to affirm or reverse, in whole or in part, or modify the Design Review Committee's recommendation." On December 20, 2004, the Manager's Design Review Committee continued review of the proposed project pending architectural revisions. The requested revisions include the following: • Revise the building's roof line to provide a noticeable variation in height and depth. Silverbell Wade Commerical Center Design Review TC 021505.doc • Revise the building's fascia along the North and West elevations to include evenly spaced vertical pop outs. • Provide a 3- D perspective of the buildings elevations.

A. 3 TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL FROM: Barbara C. Berlin, AICP, Planning Director SUBJECT: Resolution No.2005-20: Relating to Subdivisions; approving a Final Block Plat for Vanderbilt Farms. DISCUSSION Vanderbilt Farms L.L.C., represented by C.P.E., is requesting approval of a Final Block Plat for the Vanderbilt Farms development. The site is located on 425.54 acres generally east of Sandario Road, South of Barnett, west of I-10 and north of Moore Road. The Block Plat dedicates the major road system and creates 13 blocks that will be further subdivided at future dates. The plat depicts the establishment of the Barnett Linear Park and drainage facilities. The Barnett Linear Park is a proposed open space area located along the existing Barnett Road alignment to function primarily as a storm water drainage feature, but will also be utilized as a recreational area. On-site retention may be required prior to the completion of the Barnett Linear Park to the Santa Cruz River. This retention area will be designed so that it may be altered to provide drainage in the Barnett Linear Park when the drainage facility to the Santa Cruz River is completed. The portion of the Barnett Linear Park along the northern boundary of the development will be excavated and will function as an interim retention area until the channel is completed and connects to the Santa Cruz River. This project proposes to further establish streets in conformance with the Town's adopted Major Routes Plan. Lon Adams Road is extended as a through road moving north-south to the Gladden Farms development. Postvale Road is being abandoned from Clark Farms Boulevard south to Moore Road. Civic Center Drive will continue from the Town Hall site south to Clark Farms Boulevard. The plat also provides for a realignment of Moore Road to intersect with the I-10 frontage road at a ninety degree angle. A development agreement was recorded by the Town on by June 13, 2003. The development agreement requires the dedication of a minimum of 23 acres of public park land and trail system acceptable to the Development Services Director and Parks and Recreation Director; $1,000 per lot for a Park Improvement Contribution; $1,200 per residential lot for the School Improvement Contribution; and the Santa Cruz River Levee reimbursement of $500 per acre of affected property.

B. 2 TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL FROM: Barbara C. Berlin AICP, Planning Director SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING. Ordinance No.2005.05: Relating to Development; approving a Specific Plan Amendment for the Rancho Marana Specific Plan. DISCUSSION This application is a request for approval of an amendment to the Rancho Marana West portion of the specific plan of the Rancho Marana Specific Plan adopted in 1990 and amended in 1999. The proposed amendment is intended to bring this portion of the specific plan into compliance with the Town Center Plan, the Northwest Marana Area Plan, and the Vanderbilt Farms Design Guidelines, adopted in conjunction with Farm Field Five, a subdivision within the specific plan adopted in 2002. Amendments to the specific plan include a relocation of Barnett Road, the extension of Tangerine Farms Road through the western portion of the specific plan, redistribution of open spaces, revised development standards for the western portion of the Rancho Marana Specific Plan, and new cross sections for Sandario Road, Tangerine Road and Moore Road. In addition, the applicant has voluntarily held off plans for the Town Center and the Employment Center areas to allow the town to complete its town center planning effort. The Town's adoption of the Northwest Marana Area Plan in 2000 rendered the Rancho Marana West plan obsolete by calling for new road and open space alignments. The entire Rancho Marana Specific Plan consists of approximately 996 acres of land, generally located north of Moore Road, south of Barnett Road, east of Sanders Road, and west of Patton Road, on the east side of I-10. The plan is divided into two separate parts. The first is located on the east side of I- 10, consisting of 242 acres, and is known as Rancho Marana East. This area is controlled by Doerken Properties, Inc. and is not included in the proposed amendments. It retains the regulations found in the adopted specific plan. The second part to the west of I-10 is the area known as Rancho Marana West, consisting of approximately 754 acres. This area is divided into three sections with three different master developers. This includes Vistoso Partners, which controls the Vanderbilt development (including Farm Field Five); Greg Wexler, who controls the area to the north of Barnett Road and Meritage Homes (formerly Monterey Homes), which controls Rancho Marana 154. 090804 SPA-03092 Rancho Marana Specific Plan 08/20/04 The area to the north of Barnett Road, controlled by Greg Wexler, is being designated as a Special Planning Area that will be addressed by a separate document after the town center planning effort is completed, but not later than February 2006. General Plan: The General Plan ratified by the voters in March 2003 designates the subject area as "Master Planning Area". The purpose of this designation is to allow greater flexibility in site planning and design than traditional zoning districts allow. The proposed Specific Plan Amendment is consistent with the Master Planning Area designation. Land Use• A primary purpose of the proposed amendment is to bring Rancho Marana West into conformance with the Northwest Marana Area Plan. The adopted, amended plan for Rancho Marana West includes a golf course, small lot options outside of the Town Core, and high density residential (with an entitlement for sixty-five feet building height). The proposed amendment to the Rancho Marana West planning area will bring the land use and development standards consistent with the Northwest Marana Area Plan and current development requirements. The proposed land use plan provides for six different land use designations consistent with the Northwest Marana Area Plan land use concept. The designations are as follows: Town Center (TC) Medium Density Residential (MDR) - 3- 6 RAC Medium High Density Residential (MHDR) - 6 to 10 RAC High Density Residential (HDR) - 10 to 20 RAC Commercial I (Gl) Employment Center (EC) These uses will afford the area within the Town Center and the surrounding area with a mix of residential uses and provide the opportunity for institutional and commercial uses to be located with the "downtown" area or in close proximity, as envisioned in the Town Center Plan. The amendment area includes the following approved subdivisions: Farm Field Five, Rancho Marana 154 and Vanderbilt. Circulation• The proposed circulation is in conformance with the adopted Major Routes Plan. Circulation through the Town Center area will be achieved by the construction of the new Civic Center Drive, which will continue south to Clark Farms Boulevard. Clark Farms Boulevard will run from the western boundary of the specific plan east and southeast to connect with Moore Road. Tangerine Farms Loop Road will extend north of Moore Road through the specific plan area. Moore Road is proposed as a 250' right-of-way. Additional east/west access into the Specific Plan area will be from Clark Farms Boulevard with a 90' ROW. -2- 021505 SPA-03092 Rancho Marana West Specific Plan Amendment.doc Ultimately, Tangerine Farms Loop Road will become the major north/south access and serve as a loop road for the area connecting the Tangerine Road Interchange with the Marana Road Interchange. Drainage• When the Rancho Marana Specific Plan was first adopted in 1990, the three principal sources of off-site runoff affecting this property were from the Santa Cruz River over-bank flooding, runoff from agricultural lands south of Moore Road, and the Tortolita Fan runoff. Not reflected in the hydrology study used in the preparation of the original Specific Plan is the decision to turn the Barnett Road alignment into a 200 foot wide regional drainage facility. This drainage facility will not only provide a solution for the Tortolita Fan drainage but will also provide for a portion of the on-site drainage which will be created by developing the site. Additional measures to address the drainage include incorporating a system of collector channels to capture off-site flow and a series of retention/detention basins to store both on-site and off-site runoff until the ultimate long-term drainage plan is completed. These drainage solutions will be utilized for community amenities, such as open space and trail systems for walking, jogging and bicycling. In addition, this multi-use approach provides opportunity for expanded recreation facilities for future residents. Recreation/Trails/Open Space: The intent of the Recreation/Trail Plan is to provide for natural and man-made recreation/open space features accessible within the Rancho Marana Specific Plan area. The recreation areas are integrated within the different plamling areas to provide physical separation, buffer zones and transitions between varying land use intensities. The regional trail is to be a landscaped pedestrian path within the Moore Road right-of-way south of the centerline of Moore Road. This trail is intended to be a major pedestrian link to the future Santa Cruz Linear Park system and the Town Center. The community trail system will be smaller in scale, located within the open space corridor. Secondary arterial and local collector streets have sufficient rights-of-way to include a pedestrian traiUsidewalk system that will provide additional community connections. Drainage features, where possible, will be incorporated into recreational land uses and will be landscaped. They will be utilized as multi- functional elements providing opportunities for community open space, recreation, trails (both community and regional), urban green space, and wildlife corridors. Landscape• Roadways are the community's most visible landscape feature. Establishing the basic theme, framework, and plant palette will ensure a cohesive image and character for the Rancho Marana Specific Plan area. -3- 021505 SPA-03092 Rancho Marana West Specific Plan Amendment.doc The landscape concept plan identifies a hierarchy of landscape treatments. The intent is to create a recognizable identity, one which will promote and enhance a vision for the community Town Center and region. Recommended plant materials are included within Appendix E. Landscape concepts for portions within the Town Center will be consistent with the design guidelines for the Town Center. ATTACHMENT(S) Locator map. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of Ordinance No. 2005.05, approving a Specific Plan Amendment for the Rancho Marana West Specific Plan with the following conditions: Recommended Conditions: 1.

B. 3 TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL FROM: Barbara C. Berlin, Planning Director SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING. Ordinance No. 2005.06: Relating to a Rezoning; adopting an ordinance for the Ina/Silverbell Rezoning. DISCUSSION A public hearing before the Town Council was heard on June 15, 2003. The mayor closed the public hearing and moved to continue this item to allow additional time for the applicant and staff to address outstanding administrative issues, prior to the adoption of Ordinance Number 2005.06. The continuance was primarily to address the necessary dedications for the realignment and construction of Silverbell Road. The necessary dedications and utility easements have now been secured and staff is presenting this Ordinance Number 2005.06 for adoption. Adoption of this ordinance will change the zoning designation on approximately 15.3 acres of land from R-36 (Single Family Residential, 36,000 sq. ft. minimum lot size) to 14.8 acres of R- 10 (Single Family Residential, 10,000 sq. ft. minimum lot size) and 0.5 acre to NC (Neighborhood Commercial), adjoining the existing 3.6 acres of NC, on property generally located at the northwest corner of Ina and Silverbell Roads. REZONING REQUEST The developer, DCK Investments, is proposing a maximum of 41 lots for the site. Since there is only one entrance to the site from Silverbell Road, a 20' emergency access will be provided to connect to Ina Road. Circulation through the project is achieved by a public dedicated loop road that accesses all lots. Access to the Neighborhood Commercial area has not been determined at this time, but will be developed in conjunction with the existing neighborhood commercial to the south. Both the Yuma Mine Wash and an unnamed wash running through the site will be left in their natural state and will provide passive walking paths. The areas outside of the R-10 developed area will remain R-36 and be dedicated as open space through the platting process. The Yuma Mine Wash trail will provide access to offsite trails. All open space, common areas, and drainage facilities on the site will be owned and maintained by a Homeowners Association, with the necessary public access easements. 061504 Ina Silverbell rezone Bluesheet.doc 2/9/200510:18 AMKM ATTACHMENTS Applicant's proposed Land Use Plan (from the Site Analysis), Town Council Minutes from June 15, 2004, locator map and Ordinance 2005.06.

B. 4 TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL FROM: Dick Gear, Economic Development Director SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 2005.04: Relating to Annexations; annexing into the corporate limits that territory known as the Saguaro Springs West Annexation comprising approximately twenty-two (22) acres of land on the north side of Twin Peaks Road and immediately west of the Saguaro Springs development. DISCUSSION This annexation comprises approximately 22 acres of land on the north side of Twin Peaks Road west of the Saguaro Springs development. The annexation area is within portions of Section 13, Township 12 South, Range 11 East, Gila and Salt River Meridian, Pima County, Arizona. The Town Council conducted a public hearing for this annexation on January 4, 2005, and staff is now requesting Council action. The Town has received signed petitions representing over 50 percent of property owners and over 50 percent of the real and personal property value. The 22 acres are zoned Pima County RH (Rural Homestead) and will translate into the Town of Marana zoning of RD-180. All notification requirements have been property complied with for this annexation. The annexation meets the requirements as set forth in A.R.S. § 9-471 (annexing statutes). This is the final step of the annexation process for the Town Council. According to the Town's annexation requirements, there is a 30-day waiting period after the original blank petition is recorded before notification is mailed. The blank petition was recorded on December 6, 2004, and the annexation petition was mailed on January 6, 2005. The Council can now approve the ordinance annexing the area into the Town of Marana.

B. 5 TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL FROM: Frank Cassidy, Town Attorney SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 2005.07: Relating to Development; amending the CALMAT Specific Plan to allow for the continued use of plant site/storage authorized by No. Ordinance 96.49 until May 14, 2005; and declaring an emergency. DISCUSSION On September 15, 1987, the Town of Marana approved the CALMAT Specific Plan which des- ignated the location of the plant site for the processing of aggregate and production of concrete to be located in the extreme southeastern portion of the Specific Plan area, abutting the Arizona Portland Cement plant site. On December 17, 1996, the Mayor and Council approved an amendment to the CALMAT Spe- cific Plan which temporarily relocated the plant site to a more central portion of the Specific Plan area, principally to avoid the threat of the Santa Cruz River. The permission to use this plant site was to terminate within seven years or upon the initiation of Phase 2 of the project. By Ordinance No. 2003.31 adopted December 16, 2003, Mayor and Council approved a time extension for the CALMAT Specific Plan to June 16, 2004. The Planning Center, representing CEMEX (the current owner of the CALMAT property) has now requested a further extension of time to ensure enough time to finish their new proposed CEMEX Specific Plan amendment process which will address transportation, flood control and recreation issues in the plan. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of Ordinance No. 2005.07, approving an extension of time to May 14, 2005. ATTACHMENT Ordinance No. 2005.07.

B. 6 TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL FROM: Barbara C. Berlin, Planning Director SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2005-16: Relating to Subdivisions; approving a Preliminary Plat for Continental Ranch Parce139. DISCUSSION The Marana Planning Commission heard this item at its regular meeting of January 26, 2005, and voted 6-0 recommending approval to the Mayor and Council. Pulte Homes is requesting preliminary plat approval of a 51-lot single family detached home subdivision on approximately 10 acres within the Continental Ranch area. The proposed subdivision will be located within Parcel 39 of the Continental Ranch Specific Plan, which is east of Coachline Boulevard and approximately '/2 mile north of Twin Peaks Road, within Section 16, Township 12 South, and Range 12 East. The land use designation for Parcel 39 is School (S) per the Continental Ranch Specific Plan. Under section V.C.10 of the Continental Ranch Specific Plan, "If any of the seven designated school site parcels revert back to American Continental ownership, their successors and/or assigns, those properties will be zoned at the lowest residential density of adjacent parcels". The lowest residential density of the adjacent parcels is MD, 3-6 residences per acre; therefore, this project will be developed at the Medium Density Residential (MD) standards. The Continental Ranch land use designation Medium Density requires a minimum lot size of 4,500 square feet. The minimum lot size of this proposed subdivision is 5,175 square feet, and the average lot size is 5,973 square feet. Twenty-six of the lots within this subdivision are greater than 6,000 square feet. The lot sizes within this subdivision are consistent with the surrounding established subdivisions, and staff finds the proposed lot sizes appropriate. Parcel 39 requires a minimum of 9,435 square feet of improved recreation area. The park is located between lots 47 and 48. There will be a wrought iron fence and gate installed at the rear of the park to limit the movements into the main detention area, but provide the needed access for the HOA maintenance. Lots 47 and 48 will have a masonry wall constructed along the rear half of the house and wrought iron fencing along the remaining distance of the front of the house to the sidewalk. This will allow the adjacent property owners to have separation from the park while still maintaining a good visual of the area. The amenities will be approved by the Parks and Recreation Department prior to the landscape plan being approved. Pulte Homes will be required to pay the established off-site park and recreation fees at the time of building permit issuance.
