The Northwest Marana Area Plan summarizes a nine-month planning process aimed at
defining a vision for Northwest' Marana. The planning process included public
participation procedures as well as the review of existing documents and studies
including: the Town of Marana General Plan, zoning regulations, development critefia,
traffic studies, public facility existing and projected capacity, development constrainfs,
economi~ studies and market data, as well as an on site character analysis of the
Northwest Marana Area.
,....
-
The Northwest Marana Area Plan seeks to:
....
,....
. Identify community goals for Northwest Marana;
. Evaluate the history, character and existing conditions of the area;
. Analyze market and traffic conditions;
. Articulate a vision, plan and strategy for the future of Northwest Marana based on
community goals;
. Formulate goals, objectives, policies, and standards designed to guide growth;
. Develop a Northwest Marana Land Use Map based on those goals, objectives,
policies, and standards;
. Identify specific implementation action items;
. Develop design guidelines; and
. Prepare a Monitoring Plan.
,....
....
,....
,.....
The primary goal of the Northwest Marana Area Plan is to preserve a sense of
community by promoting the area's agricultural heritage, focusing civic functions in the
Town Center, providing interconnectivity through the establishment of multi-purpose
paths for pedestrian/equestrian and bicycle oriented amenities throughout the urbanizing
areas, and establishing appropriate land uses within the urbanizing areas that promote
sustainable neighborhoods and the sense of openness that is valued by residents of the
Northwest Marana Area.
,....
,....
The current zoning allows a multitude of uses and includes no specific design standards.
New development under the current standards could dilute and weaken Northwest
Marana's character and stability.
-
Land Use designations provided within this Area Plan for Northwest Marana establish a
more restrictive approach to land use intended to enhance the existing quality and
character of the area.
,....
One of the goals of this Area Plan is to integrate the five distinct planning areas identified
through the appropriate utilization of open space and the establishment of appropriate
buffers for Agriculture/Urban interface areas. Another goal is for the Area Plan to identify
a place to serve as the symbolic heart, or Town Center, and establish a traditional civic
identity for Northwest Marana area based on its heritage.

. Executive Summary
1
1
1
,
Five distinct planning areas were identified within Northwest Marana: the Town Center
the Urban Southeast, the Airport South, the Rural Northwest, and the Interstate East
planning areas. The Town Center or Town Core Planning Area encompasses that
portion of Northwest Marana bounded on the northeast by Interstate 1 a, and bordered
on the south by Barnett Road. The southern portion of the west boundary is 1/4 niile
west ,of Sandario Road, and extends north up to Interstate 10. The Town Center
Planning Area includes the Town of Marana Town Hall.
1.
1
The Urban Southeast Planning Area surrounds the Town Center. Interstate 10 bounds
the Urban Southeast Planning Area on the northeast. This area extends north to
Interstate 10 and is bordered on the west by Sanders Road, on the south by the Santa
Cruz River and on the east by the Town's corporate limits.
l
1
The Airport South Planning Area corresponds to lands south of the Santa Cruz River,
extending west to Trico Road, south to Twin Peaks Road and following the Town's
corporate limits on the east side. The area includes the Marana Northwest Regional
Airport.
1
The Rural Northwest Planning Area encompasses lands north of the Santa Cruz River
and south of the Pima/Pinal County line, and up to the Pinal Airpark Interchange, and
extends west to Trico Road and east to Sanders Road.
1
The Interstate East planning area is bounded on the east by the Central Arizona Project
(CAP) Canal, on the north by the Pima/Pinal County line, on the west by Interstate 10
and on the south by the Town's corporate boundary. This area includes State owned
lands and designated Pygmy Owl Critical Habitat. In addition, the eastern portion of the
Rancho Marana Specific Plan is located within this area. Additional information is
provided in the Introduction chapter of this Area Plan.
1
These planning areas are defined by specific qpportunities and constraints. An analysis
of those opportunities and constraints provided the parameters necessary for the
appropriate designation of land uses for the Northwest Marana area based on
boundaries such as the 100-year floodplain, the Airport Influence Area, the Airport
Restriction Area and the Airport Runway Protection Zones, the Central Arizona Project
(CAP), Interstate 1 a, the Union Pacific Railroad, the Santa Cruz River Corridor and the
Pygmy Owl Critical Habitat.

Actions need to be directed with the formulation of clear and precise goals, objectives
and policies. The Implementation section of this Area Plan contains goals, objectives
and policies designed to guide future development within Northwest Marana Area in
accordance with the vision shared by residents and businesses.
...,
The Implementation section encompasses twelve major areas: Land Use Element, Town
Center Element, Community Design Element, Community Design Guidelines,
Agricultural and Rural Preservation Element, Agricultural/Urban Interface Element, Open
Space and Natural Resources Element, Drainage Element, Transportation Element,
Airport Element, Economic Development Element, and Development Incentives.

. Executive Summary
,....
,....
The intent of the Implementation. section is to outline key strategies necessary to
implement the Northwest Marana Area Plan.
-
These key strategies include the establishment of:
,......
1. Appropriate land uses for the Northwest Marana area.
2. A sustainable approach to neighborhood development through the application of
the Residential/Commercial Village concept for urbanizing areas. .
3. Appropriate densities for development within the Agricultural/Rural Interface.
4. Architectural themes that are reflective of the area's heritage.
5. Community Design Guidelines for urbanizing areas.
6. A specific plan review process to ensure that new development or expansion of
old development is conducted in conformance with this Area Plan.
7. A multi-modal transportation system that includes pedestrian, bicycle and
equestrian friendly pathways.
8. Economic incentives for business growth.
9. Development incentives that promote sustainability and interconnectivity.
10. Levels of Service Standards for public facilities.
11. An efficient transportation system.
-
,....
,......
,...
,....
The Land Use Element of this Area Plan provides appropriate land uses for the
Northwest Marana Area. The concept of residential/commercial villages proposes three
residential categories, which include low density, medium density and medium-high
density residential land uses. The location and distribution of residential densities
propose a transitional concept, which locates medium-high densities at the core of the
village and lower densities at the edges of the development, providing a gradient from
edge to core. Medium-high densities occur internally within each village and are
intended to include community support facilities such as health fitness centers,
commercial services, parks and open space, recreational facilities such as playgrounds
and swimming pools, schools, day care cent.ers and social activity areas, which will
create a focus of activity and identity to each of the villages. These medium-high density
areas are referred to in this Area Plan as Village Cores.
,...
,....
,....
,.
The Residential/Commercial Village land use concept is defined in conformance with
information provided within the Marana Town Center Sewer Basin Study, dated October
26,1999. As provided in the Sewer Basin Study, the existing Marana Wastewater
Treatment Facility has a design capacity of 27,000 gallons per day (gpd). The existing
average daily flow to the facility is approximately 28,000 gpd. In accordance to the
Sewer Basin Study, Pima County Wastewater indicated that the facility's capacity will be
upgraded in steps starting with an upgrade to approximately 100,000 gpd and eventually
to a capacity of approximately 3-5 mgd.
,....
,.....
-
In the Sewer Basin Study, future sewage flows are estimated based on an ultimate
development density of 4.0 residential units per gross acre. The 4.0 residential units per
acre equates to 1,000 gallons per acre per day, which is adequate for
commerciallindustrial/institutional wastewater flow projections.

Rather than utilizing an ultimate deyelopment density of 4.0 residential units per gross
acre, as provided in the Sewer Basin Study, densities for the Northwest Marana Town
Center and the Urban. Southeast" Planning areas were estimated based on sewer
capacities, utilizing adjusted gross acreage. This methodology allows for a more
accurate designation of average densities as it dedicates 30 percent of the gross
acreage for schools, roads, right-of-way, and park needs. The resulting average density
may appear higher, however, the resulting maximum number of units at buildout is
lower. Tables A and B below compares dwelling unit estimates at buildout based on
gross acres and on adjusted gross acres.

Villages are defined by the arterial and collector road system and other natural and/or
man-made edges. The village concept provides a smooth transition into adjacent areas,
while promoting the rural character valued by residents of the Northwest Marana area.
This concept also promotes sustainability by accommodating commercial services as
market forces determine their location. In addition, this land use concept promotes
interconnectivity by providing trail system and open space connections throughout the
urbanizing areas.

Residential/Commercial Village development, approved in accordance with the
procedures of this Area Plan, shall maintain the average density indicated in the
Northwest Marana Land Use Map. - Within the Southeast Urban Planning Area, average
density for Residential/Commercial Village shall be 4 residences per acre. Within the
Interstate East Planning Area, the average density for Residential/Commercial Village
development shall be 4 and 6 RAC as designated in the Northwest Marana Land Use
Map.
,...
....
-
Within the Residential/Commercial village development, a range of residential densities
is encouraged. However, the average density designated to the area shall be
maintained.
,....
Density Ranqes: Each residential land use within a Residential/Commercial Village
development may be defined by a density range in dwelling units per acre as follows:
Low Density: 0-3 RAC
Medium Density: 3-8 RAC
Medium-High Density: Greater than 8 RAC
,.....
,....
In summary, this Area Plan establishes a vision for Northwest Marana area and it is
adopted as an amendment to the Town of Marana General Plan. The Northwest
Marana Area Plan will provide long term guidance for the area to accommodate
intelligent growth and development while protecting the character of the area and the
quality of life for the citizens of Marana.

,.-
Purpose
,...
The Northwest Marana Area Plan is intended to provide overall direction to the
development of the Northwest Marana Area and to facilitate preparation of developer
initia~ed ~pecific plans, subdivision plans and development plans for the area.
,-.
The text and maps contained within this Area Plan will assist both the Town and
landowners/developers in the implementation of the adopted elements of the Town of
Marana General Plan. The Northwest Marana Area Plan builds upon the General Plan.
,....
Scope
,....
The Northwest Marana Area Plan is based on the following major components:
,.-
1. Refinement of the General Plan Land Use Categories, Circulation System and
Infrastructure, as applicable to the Northwest Marana Area;
2. Identification of the essential water, sewer, drainage and street systems needed
to accommodate development in the Northwest Marana Area;
3. Establishment of community design guidelines, which include architectural and
landscape design themes and guidelines. .
4. Identification of phasing methods and other financing strategies necessary to
finance needed infrastructure and public facilities;
,.-
,.-
,...
Plan Background
,...
The Northwest Marana Area Plan is a major step towards implementing the Town of
Marana General Plan adopted February 4, 1997, which recognizes Interstate
Development Zones and Community Development Zones for the northwest area.
,....
Historically, Northwest Marana has been primarily an agricultural area with few pockets
of residential land uses scattered through the area. Because of significant changes in
Marana accompanied by factors such as the designation of habitat for threatened or
endangered species which has resulted in a decline in the amount of developable land in
the Town and the surrounding areas, demand for housing and employment areas has
shifted to the Northwest area. The Economic Development Element adopted as part of
the Town of Marana General Plan projects Marana's desired image of multiple
marketplaces and conceptually identifies major activity centers, or Economic
Development Zones. Table 1 presents major Economic Development Zones identified in
the General Plan, which impact the Northwest Marana Area.

Overview
,...
,...
Property owners have notified the Town of almost 1,000 acres of pending rezoning
filings in Northwest Marana. To' get ahead of development and ensure that the
Northwest Area is developed in a manner that reflects the visions and goals of residents,
the Town Council directed the Planning and Zoning Department to amend the adopted
General Plan.
,...
,...
The Northwest Marana planning process recognizes the goals, objectives and policies
adopted as part of the General Plan and identifies areas where such goals, objectives
and policies may need revisions in order to reflect the needs of the Northwest Marana
Area. A General Plan/Northwest Marana Area Plan Matrix included in Appendix C, lists
the general plan's goals, objectives and policies in relation to the Northwest Marana area
and identifies amendments to the General Plan.
,..
,...
The Northwest Marana Area Plan is based in the Town of Marana General Plan, the
Marana Town Center Sewer Basin Study, The Town of Marana Water Master Plan, The
Town of Marana Parks, Trail, and Open-Space System Master Plan, the Marana
Northwest Regional Airport Master Plan, the Town of Marana Storm Water Master Plan,
The Town of Marana Land Development Code and applicable ordinances.
,...
,..
Project Location
.....
Northwest Marana is located on the northwestern portion of the Town of Marana. It
encompasses approximately 38,337 acres and is bounded by the Central Arizona
Project Canal on the east, the Pima/Pinal County line on the North, Trico Road
alignment on the west, and Twin Peaks Road on the south.
,.....
Surrounding Land Uses
,....
Existing land uses surrounding the portion of the Northwest Marana Area located east of
1-10 consist primarily of open space agriculture, some scattered residential
neighborhoods, and State Lands, which contain Pygmy-Owl Critical Habitat. Existing
land uses surrounding the portion of the Northwest Marana Area located west of 1-10
consist primarily of open space/agriculture, some scattered residential and commercial
developments, airport related uses, institutional uses and vacant land.
,....
,...
Rural Character and Aesthetics
,.....
Marana, Arizona, began as an agricultural community around 1881 when the railroad
first came to the area. At the time, the Town was overgrown with dense mesquite
thickets. The name derives from the Spanish word "marana," which means "impassable
tangle" or "jungle." The Marana area has been prime farmland for centuries. Located
where Brawley Wash joins the Santa Cruz River, Native Americans used the
dependable water supply to grow corn, beans, squash and cotton. The Spanish came in
about 1700 and started the first cattle ranches.
,...

"1
I
As the area began to grow, cotton farming became a mainstay. Marana is known
worldwide as the home of Pima cofton. Today, Marana blends its traditional agricultural
economy with residential, commercial and industrial development.
'1
,
Incorporated in 1977, Marana has approximately 75 square miles within its boundaries
and is the main trade center and community focus for a vast rural area covering
approximately 500 square miles. Continued growth in the past decade has made
Marana a flourishing trade center. In September 1993, the town annexed approximately
1.75 square miles. This area includes a significant number of businesses. The rural
community that once was just farmland with a few businesses mixed in has become a
bustling town with dynamic growth and a solid business base.

Physical Setting
1
The Northwest Marana Area is nestled between the Silverbell Mountains and the Central
Arizona Project. The portion of Northwest Marana west of Interstate 10 is located on the
Avra Valley, which is bounded on the west by the Silverbell Mountains. These
mountains provide the site with a picturesque backdrop. The Avra Valley portion of the
project area is relatively flat.
'l
I

Five main planning areas were identified within the Northwest Marana area. The concept
of planning areas facilitates the planning process by establishing appropriate
development boundaries based on specific needs. Each Planning Area presents distinct
opportunities and constraints. The Northwest Marana Planning Areas Map shows
identified planning areas within the Northwest Marana area. In addition, Figure 1
includes these planning areas in diagram form. The following Planning Areas were
identified within the Northwest Marana Area:

The Town Center or Town Core Planning Area encompasses that portion of Northwest
Marana bounded on the northeast by Interstate 10, and bordered on the south by
Barnett Road. The southern portion of the west boundary is 1/4 mile west of Sandario
Road, and extends north up to Interstate 10. The Town Center Planning Area is the seat
of the Town of Marana Town Hall, and includes primarily institutional land uses and open
space. In addition, this area includes a portion of the adopted Rancho Marana Specific
Plan.

Application Process
The Special Needs Housing Office, in conjunction with the Department of Economic
Security's Homeless Coordination Office, coordinates and administers the HUD
Continuum of Care Homeless Housing program on behalf of rural Arizona. The program
is an ongoing local community-based planning process for the identification of housing
and supportive-services needs. The planning process identifies existing housing and
services for homeless persons as well as the unmet needs and gaps in services,
prioritizes the identified gaps, and creates a strategy for funding projects that address
the highest priorities. The process results in the submission to HUD of a Continuum of
Care Application that outlines the results of the planning process and requests funding
for a variety of projects addressing the identified needs of the homeless in rural Arizona.

Home Modification and Repair
,...
Home Modification and Repair includes adaptations to homes that can make it easier
and safer to carry out activities such as bathing, cooking, and climbing stairs and
alterations to the physical structure of the home to improve its overall safety and
condition.
,...
,...
Home modification and repair can help prevent accidents such as falls. Research
suggests that one-third to one-half of home accidents can be prevented by modification
and repair.
,...
Home modification and repair can allow people to remain in their homes. Older people
tend to live in older homes that often need repairs and modifications. Over 60% of older
persons live in homes more than 20 years old. Home modification and repair can
accommodate lifestyle changes and increase comfort.

,....
Interstate East Planning Area
,.....
The Interstate East planning area is located in the Tortolita Mountains Alluvial Fan, which is
relatively flat and gently sloping to the southwest. Runoff from the T ortolita Mountains flows
southeasterly toward the Santa Cruz River from seven alluvial fan watersheds. Steep, uniform
slopes in sandy erodible soils generally characterize alluvial fans. Flood flows on fan surfaces
are not contained within defined channels. As a result the flow path is often dynamic and
subject to erratic migration, sheet flow, and braiding during each flood event. The runoff from
the Tortolita watershed is intercepted by the Union Pacific Transportation Company rail bed
and Interstate 10. Storm water ponding occurs along the upstream side of these features.
There are some small irregular hills or ridges. Seven Tortolita Fan Spine washes impact
development on the east side of 1-10. They are: Derrio Wash, Cottonwood Wash, Cottonwood
Tributary, Cochie Wash, Wild Burro Wash, Ruelas Wash, and Prospect Wash.

inadequate to convey the 1 DO-year peak flow rate. They usually cause backwater
ponding behind elevated embankments. Flow, which cannot be conveyed through the
culverts, either overtops the railroad or drains northwesterly along the east side of the
railroad embankment and towards the Town Center Planning Area. This area needs to
be included as part of the study area, during the preparation of the drainage master plan

As provided in the Town of Marana Water Master Plan, water services for the Town: ~f
Marana are currently provided by a municipal water utility, the Town of Marana Municipal
Water System Department, a number of public and private water companies and
cooperatives, and individual private wells. The Town of Marana Water Master Plan
examines the existing water systems and the future requirements for water system
development, to create an adequate water supply strategy for residents of Marana over
the next 20 years. The master plan considers the need to upgrade and expand existing
systems, including the need for new wells, storage facilities and mains, opportunities for
interconnecting existing systems, and the feasibility of acquiring and managing as a
single entity a comprehensive water system serving potable water to all the residents
within the Town of Marana.

According to the Town of Marana Water Master Plan, in addition to the wells described
in Table 2, other water wells of interest are the Cortaro-Marana Irrigation DistricUCortaro
Water Users Association (CMID/CWUA) wells scattered across the Marana area, The
Town of Marana Municipal Water System Department has entered into an
Intergovernmental Agreeement with CMID, based on the potential for future use of these
wells. According to this agreement, as the irrigation wells are no longer needed for
agricultural purposes, the wells may become available for domestic use. Thirty-one (31)
CMID wells throughout the Marana planning area have been identified in the Town of
Marana Water Master Plan as potentially useful wells. The total capacity of these CMID
. wells is approximately 64,000 gpm.
,...
,....
,....
Privately Owned Wells
,...
There are a number of privately owned wells in the Marana area, which are of interest
for the water master planning effort of the Town of Marana Municipal Water System
Department. As provided in the Town of Marana Water Master Plan, the Department
anticipates buying or operating a number of these privately owned wells to supplement
the existing water supply, or to retire the water rights for purposes of water adequacy,
None of these privately owned wells identified for purchase serve the Northwest Marana
area.
,....
,....
Water Sources
,.....
,..
The primary source of water in Marana is groun'dwater, and the service area is within the
Tucson Active Management Area. The Town of Marana future planning area is
effectively divided into two groundwater basins by the Rillito Narrows near Rillito,
Arizona. At the Narrows, relatively shallow bedrock forms a constriction to groundwater
flow between the Marana and Cortaro areas. The Town of Marana Water Master Plan
includes provisions for groundwater rights and uses, various types of withdrawal permits,
and management of groundwater, which apply to the Northwest Marana Area. The
master plan also provides for replenishment and conservation of groundwater, defines
wells and permits required to construct wells, and provides fees for withdrawal,
replenishment, and conservation.
r
.....
,..
The Tucson Active Management Area
,...
The Northwest Marana Area is part of the Tucson Active Management Area, which
covers 3,866 square miles in southeastern Arizona. The Tucson AMA is one of five
AMAs in the state, which were established pursuant to the 1980 Groundwater
Management Code.
,...
,...

1
The Tucson AMA is in the basin and range physiographic province characterized by
broad, gently sloping alluvial basins' separated by north to northwest trending fault block
mountains. There are !.wo groundwater sub-basins in the AMA, the Avra Valley Sub-
basin and the Upper Santa Cruz Sub-basin north of the Pima/Santa Cruz County line.
The AMA includes portions of Pima, Pinal and Santa Cruz Counties, and five
incorporated cities and towns: Marana, Tucson, South Tucson, Oro Valley and
Sahuarita.
l
1
The Tucson AMA has a statutory goal of achieving safe-yield by 2025. Safe-yield means
that the amount of groundwater pumped from the aquifer on an average annual basis
must not exceed the amount that is naturally or artificially recharged. The safe-yield goal
is a basin-wide balance, which means that water level declines in one portion of the
AMA can be offset by recharging water in another portion of the AMA.
l
1
Total water use in the AMA is currently about 314,000 acre-feet (AF) per year.
Groundwater is the primary water supply. Effluent is served to some golf courses, parks
and schools. Central Arizona Project Water (CAP) is used by some farms in-lieu of
groundwater pumping and is also recharged to the aquifer in spreading basins for
recovery in the future. Roughly 50 percent of the total water supply is mined
groundwater. Municipal use accounts for nearly half of the total water use and
agricultural use accounts for approximately one-third. The remaining water use includes
major copper mines and miscellaneous other industrial well owners (20%) and small
domestic wells (1 %).
1

1
Effluent
Approximately 65,000 AF of effluent was produced in 1995 within the Tucson AMA. Of
this amount only about 17% or 11,000 AF was reused as reclaimed water on turf
facilities or delivered to agricultural users. About 83% (53,000 AF) of the remaining
effluent is discharged into the Santa Cruz River where it supports riparian habitat as well
as recharges the groundwater aquifer downstream.
1
l
1
l
As provided in the Town of Marana Water Master Plan, the Santa Cruz River has
received sewage effluent on an intermittent basis since 1928. As a result of sustained
releases since 1970, the Santa Cruz River channel has been' continuously wetted from
the Ina Road wastewater treatment facility outfall to the Rillito Narrows and beyond into
the Marana area. In 1993, about 50 million gallons per day (MGD) of treated effluent
were discharged to the Santa Cruz River. A planned expansion of the Roger Road
Wastewater Treatment Facilities and Ina Road Water Pollution Control Facility will
increase the two plants treatment capacity to about 78 MGD.
..,
J
Within the Marana area, Cortaro-Marana Irrigation District (CMID) is the primary user of
treated sewage effluent for irrigating crops. Since 1978, the District has used an average
of 2,750 acre per year of treated effluent. An effluent/groundwater blend has been
distributed to most of the District's lands.

,...
Wastewater sludge, a byproduct of the wastewater treatment process has been used for
application of sludge to farm lands.. According to the Town of Marana Water master
Plan, approximately 29,440 tons of. sludge have been applied to agricultural land in the
area since 1984.
,...
Agriculture Water Uses
,...
,--
There are three primary agricultural areas in the Tucson AMA: Cortaro-Marana Irrigation
District (CMID), Avra Valley Irrigation District (AVID) and the pecan groves owned by
Farmers Investment Company (FICO) near Green Valley. Total agricultural water use is
less significant in other locations of the Tucson AMA where farming operations usually
consist of small pastures located along the larger drainages and washes. Of the total of
39,455 acres of irrigation's grandfathered rights (IGFRs), about 15,000 acres are
consistently out of production. This equates to a 62% farmland utilization rate. Of the
427 IGFR's in the Tucson AMA, 195 are less than ten acres and are no longer required
to report annual water use or meet annual water use allotments. Of the remaining 232
large farms, 46 have reported no water use in the past three years.
,..
,...
r
Due to various economic factors such as urbanization, reduction in cotton prices, past
federal set-aside programs and increasing energy and water costs, agricultural pumpage
has declined from about 116,600 AF in 1984 to 96,500 AF in 1995. Probably the single
most important contributing factor in this decrease is a reduction in planted acres.
Preliminary indications of 1996 water use show an increase compared to previous years.
This trend is a result of an increase in cropped and double cropped acres.
,...
,...
Central Arizona Project (CAP) Water
,...
After treatment, Colorado River water provided through the Central Arizona Project
(CAP) could meet all primary State and Federal MCL's, but its chemistry is different from
the chemistry of groundwater in the area. The concentrations of sodium, dissolved
solids, and hardness found in CAP water are generally more than twice that of local
groundwater supplies. The Pima Association of Governments (PAG) has concluded that
concentrations of dissolved solids in CAP water will not have a significant impact on
wastewater treatment facilities and artificial recharge projects. The report indicates that
wastewater from CAP water will be suitable for irrigation of most crops and landscape
plants.

Upgrades and Expansions - Existing Water Supply System
,...
The Town of Marana Water Master Plan proposes recommendations for upgrades and
expansions of the existing water supply system. Recommendations include the addition
of source, storage, and booster capacity, as well as water main upgrades. In addition,
as mentioned before, the Town of Marana Municipal Water System Department is
currently in the process of acquiring some of the existing water wells operated by other
entities.

As recommended in the Town of Marana Water Master Plan, all proposed water
systems for new development within the Marana Area should be examined by the Town
of Marana Municipal W~ter System Department to assure that sufficient fire water flow
will be available.
The Santa Cruz River Watershed
'1
I
The Santa Cruz River Watershed is composed of several structurally-controlled aquifer
systems, surrounded by heavily mineralized recharge regions, that provide water of
variable quality for Marana, Tucson, Nogales, Green Valley and some developments
within these areas. The recharge areas include several world-class porphyry copper
systems, epithermal precious metal systems and base-metal skarn systems. The aquifer
systems are fed. by surface water and both shallow and deep groundwater. The river
system also sustains one of the richest, most diverse riparian habitats in the
southwestern United States.

SEWER SYSTEM
According to the Marana Town Center Sewer Basin Study, dated October 26,1999, the
sewer basin includes approximately 4,507 acres, bounded by Trico Marana Road on the
north, Tangerine Road on the south, Interstate 10 on the east, and the Santa Cruz River
on the West. As provided in the Sewer Basin Study, the existing Marana Wastewater
Treatment Facility has a design capacity of 27,000 gpd. The existing average daily flow
to the facility is approximately 28,000 gdp. In accordance to the Sewer Basin Study,
Pima County Wastewater indicated that the Facility's capacity will be upgraded in steps
starting with an upgrade to approximately 100,000 gpd and eventually to a capacity of
approximately 3-5 mgd.
'1
J
1
1
In the Sewer Basin Study, future sewage flows were estimated based on an ultimate
development density of 4.0 residential units per gross acre. The 4.0 residential units per
acre equates to 1,000 gallons per acre per day, which is adequate for
commercial/industrial/institutional wastewater flow projections.

Northwest Marana Area Plan Densities
"1
Rather than utilizing an ultimate development density of 4.0 residential units per gross
acre, as provided in the Sewer Basin Study, densities for the Northwest Marana Town
Center and the Urban Southeast Planning areas were estimated based on sewer
capacities, utilizing adjusted gross acreage. This methodology allows for a more
accurate designation of average densities as it dedicates 30 percent of the gross
acreage for schools, roads, right-of-way, and park needs. The resulting average density
may appear higher, however, the resulting maximum number of units at build out is
lower. The land use portion of this chapter further describes average densities for the
urbanizing areas.

A variety of data sources were consulted in order to gain an understanding of the real
estate markets of the Tucson metropolitan area. These sources included the Arizona
Department of Economic Security (DES) and Pima County Association of Governments
(PAG) (population projections), and chiefly the Metropolitan Tucson Land Use Study
(MTLUS).
,....
r
The MTLUS is produced quarterly for the Pima County Real Estate Research Council.
The first and third quarters of each year document office and industrial real estate
activity, while the second and fourth quarters track retail real estate activity. All four
quarters inventory housing in the Tucson Metropolitan area. Industrial, office and retail
data are tracked in terms of square footage, while housing is tracked in terms of dwelling
units. The MTLUS uses three distinct sets of districts for its analyses:

MTLUS data from 1995, 1997, and 1999 were utilized to obtain an understanding of both
the entire Tucson metropolitan area, as defined by MTLUS, as well as the districts,
which contained the study area and were considered to have a strong influence on how
the study area will appear at buildout. Districts 1 and 2 were used as the basis for
developing three projections. During this timeframe these districts exhibited an
annualized growth rate of 2.9 percent. This compares to an annualized growth rate of
1.7 percent for the metro area as a whole during the same period. The aggressive
estimate was based on continuing the existing trend in terms of new industrial square
footage for the districts overall. The conservative estimate was based on the districts
achieving the current annualized growth of the metropolitan area through 2020. This
estimate reflects a lower bound of likely new industrial square footage in the districts.
The moderate estimate is the average of the aggressive and conservative estimates.
,...
,...
,...
,...
,...
For each of the scenarios the total square footage was then adjusted downward by a
"capture raten of 60 percent, reflecting the potential of the study area to attract new
industrial development relative to the districts overall. This capture rate is based on the
fact that the industrial park areas to the south of the districts are near buildout and that
there is significant freeway frontage land available in the study area.
r
This square footage (combined with a 5 percent vacancy factor) was utilized to estimate
the industrial employment which is likely to be generated, based on an estimate of 500
square feet per employee. This would result in total industrial employment at buildout of
between 3,100 and 7,300; depending on the build out scenario used. See Table 3.

MTLUS data from 1995, 1997 and 1999 were utilized to obtain an understanding of both
the entire Tucson metropolitan area, as defined by MTLUS, as well as the district, which
contained the study area and was considered to have a strong influence on how the
study area will appear at buildout. District 1 was used as the basis for developing three
projections. During this timeframe this district exhibited an annualized growth rate of 1.9
percent. This compares to an annualized growth rate of 1.0 percent for the metropolitan
area as a whole during the same period. The aggressive estimate was based on
continuing this existing trend in terms of new office square footage for the district overall.
The conservative estimate was based on the district achieving the current annualized
growth of the metropolitan area through 2020. This estimate reflects a lower bound of
likely new office square footage in the district. The moderate estimate is the average of
the aggressive and conservative estimates.

For each of the scenarios the total square footage was then adjusted downward by a

This square footage (combined with a 5 percent vacancy factor) was utilized to estimate

Retail and Housing
Retail activity is significantly linked to dwelling units at a local level, yet is also influenced
from a more regional perspective by transportation corridors. Local retail considers only
the number of dwelling units in the study area and the area immediately surrounding it.
Regional retail examines a larger area and addresses those retail establishments, which
serve a larger market. These two influences on the expected amount of retail space
were analyzed separately.
Regional retail 2020 projections were based 01") three distinct housing unit totals, which
produced conservative, moderate and aggressive estimates. The conservative estimate
defines the regional retail market area as the town of Marana. The 2020 projection is
based on the DES population projection for the town of 76,553 and PAG's persons per
housing unit for the northwestern portion of the metropolitan area of 2.68 for the same
year. The aggressive estimate defines the regional retail market area as the
northwestem portion of the metropolitan area, and uses PAG's 2020 projection of
dwelling units.' The average of these two values is the basis of the moderate estimate.
,...
,...
,...
,...
,...
The market area for local serving retail encompasses the entire study area as well as the
areas it borders.2 The Town of Marana Planning Department expects approximately
10,000 dwelling units in the study area at build out, and an additional 4,000 dwelling
units in the remaining local retail market area.

Data and Analysis

I
In the Tucson Metropolitan area overall, there are 105 retail square feet of retail per
dwelling unit (according to MTLUS'data). This number was divided into two distinct
parts based on the proportion dedicated to regional and local retail. Local retail was
based on 60 square feet multiplied by the number of dwelling units in the study area.
This square footage was gleaned from District 4 of the MTLUS, which was determined' to
be indicat[ve of an area, which has mostly local serving retail. 3
,.,
I
1
The remainder (45 square feet per dwelling unit) was assumed to be attributable to
regional retail. In order to calculate regional retail, the number of dwelling units in the
Town of Marana was multiplied by 45. This number reflects the total regional retail
square footage expected in the Town of Marana overall. This total was reduced by a
"capture rate" of 40 percent, resulting in the regional retail square footage in the study
area. The sum of this number and the total local serving retail is the expected total retail
square footage in the study area.
'1
I
Table 5 combines these calculations to arrive at total projected retail square footage, as
well as an estimate of the amount of retail employment, which would likely be generated
by each scenario. This calculation is based on an average of 650 square feet per
employee and a 5 percent vacancy rate. The resultant retail employment is expected to
be between 1,900 and 2,400 depending upon the buildout scenario used.

This section includes land use estimates for the Northwest Marana Area. These
estimates are based on a target of 12,500 maximum units at buildout, which is the
maximum amount of units projected to be served by the sewer treatment plant.
Rather than utilizing an ultimate development density of 4.0 residential units per gross
acre, as provided in the Sewer Basin Study, densities for the Northwest Marana Town
Center and the Urban Southeast Planning areas were estimated based on sewer
capacities and utilizing net acreage. This methodology allows for a more accurate
designation of average densities as it dedicates 30 percent of the gross acreage for
schools, roads, right-of-way, and park needs. The resulting average density may appear
higher, however, the maximum number of units at buildout is lower.
This section presents a conservative and a more aggressive scenario for the Northwest
Marana urbanizing core at buildout. The urbanizing core includes the Town Center and
the Urban Southeast Planning Area. A total number of 12,500 units within this
urbanizing core will be required in order to support the infrastructure and commercial
needs established within the Northwest Marana Plan.

Table 6, below, outlines existing land uses within the Town Center Planning Area. From
the total 714 acres, approximately 459 acres are agriculture/open space, approximately
170 are institutional, approximately 30 are residential, approximately 30 acres constitute
park and recreational facilities, and there are approximately 10 acres of vacant land.

Interstate East Planning Area
,....
The approximate total acreage of the Interstate East Planning Area is 4,990 acres. This
planning area comprises those lands east of 1-10 bounded by the Central Arizona
Projects (CAP) canal. Of the total 4,990 acres, approximately 3,094 acres of land are
located within the corporate boundaries and approximately 1,896 acres of State owned
land are located inside Pigmy Owl designated area.
,....
,....
Of the 3,094 acres within corporate boundary, approximately 400 acres are designated
Interstate Commercial, and approximately 2,694 are designated Residential/Commercial
Village in the Northwest Marana Area Land Use Plan.
~
Of the total 1,896 acres of State owned land, approximately 190 or 10 percent, will be
dedicated for roads and rights-of-way. Of the remaining 1706 acres, there are
approximately 1,306 acres low density residential, approximately 260 acres medium
density residential, approximately 100 acres recreation, and approximately 40 acres
commercial land uses in the Arizona State Land Department Plan.
,....
,...
Based on the above data, park requirements for the Interstate East Planning Area can
be calculated. From the total of 2,694 acres of Residential/Commercial Village within
corporate boundaries, approximately 269 acres, or 10 percent, will comprise commercial
uses, and approximately 2,424 acres, or 90 percent, will comprise residential land uses.
Of the 2,424 acres for residential land uses, approximately 242 acres, or 10 percent, will
be dedicated for roadways and rights-of-way, leaving a total of 2000 acres of
developable residential land.
~

A conservative buildout scenario assumes a total average 3 RAC for the entire
residential portion within corporate boundaries. Applying the formula total acres
multiplied by the amount of units per acre (2,000 x 3) results in approximately 6000
dwelling units at buildout.
,....
A moderate buildout scenario assumes a total average 4 RAC for the entire residential
portion within corporate boundaries. Applying the formula total acres multiplied by the
amount of units per acre (2,000 x 4) results in approximately 8000 dwelling units at

The following elements provide direction for the development of a quality urban
landscape that embraces the rural heritage of the Northwest Marana Area. A series of
goals, objectives, policies and standards are outlined where:
1
1
Goals are broad statements that define the community's hope
for the future. They are general in that they do not indicate
when and how these goals are to be accomplished.
1
I
Obiectives are statements of intent that generally guide future
decisions in specific topic areas.
1

The Residential/Commercial Village Land Use Concept
,...
The concept of residential/commercial villages proposes three residential categories,
which include low density, medium density and medium-high density residential land
uses. The location and distribution of residential densities propose a transitional concept,
which locates medium-high densities at the core of the village and lower densities at the
edges of the development, providing a gradient from edge to core. Medium-high
densities occur internally within each village and are intended to include community
support facilities such as health fitness center, commercial services, parks and open
space, recreational facilities such as play grounds and swimming pools, schools, day
care centers and social activity areas, which will create a focus of activity and identity to
each of the villages. These medium-high density areas are referred to in this Area Plan
as Village Cores.
Villages are defined by arterial and collector road system and other natural and/or man-
made edges. The village concept provides a smooth transition into adjacent areas, while
promoting the rural character valued by residents of the Northwest Marana area. This
concept also promotes sustainability by accommodating commercial services as market
forces determine their location. In addition, this land use concept promotes
interconnectivity by providing trail system and open space connections throughout the
urbanizing areas.
In addition to goals, objectives, policies and standards provided within t~e Land Use
Element, the Community Design Element and the Community Design Guidelines,
Appendix A: Southwest Architectural Styles, Appendix B: Southwest Architectural
Themes, and Appendix E: Residential/Commercial Village provide additional guidelines
for Residential/Commercial Villages.

Residential/Commercial Village: Average Density
Residential/Commercial Village development, approved in accordance with the
procedures of this Area Plan, shall maintain the average density indicated in the
Northwest Marana Land Use Map. Within the Southeast Urban Planning Area, average
density for Residential/Commercial Village shall be 4 RAC. Within the Interstate East
Planning Area, the average density for Residential/Commercial Village development
shall be 4 and 6 RAC as designated in the Northwest Marana Land Use Map.

Residential/Commercial Village: Density Ranges
Within the Residential/C'ommercial village development, a range of residential densities
is encouraged. However, the average density designated to the area shall -be
maintained.
Density Ranqes: Each residential land use within a Residential/Commercial Village
development may be defined by a density range in dwelling units per acre as follows:
Low Density: 0-3 RAC
Medium Density: 3-8 RAC
Medium-High Density: Greater than 8 RAC
Within the Northwest Marana Area, development will occur and neighborhood
opportunities will emerge as development pressures cause the conversion of agricultural
lands. The residential/commercial village concept provides a footprint for neighborhood
identity and community structure. This concept consists of:
· A village core or activity center including residential medium-high densities,
surrounded by lower densities.
· Villages are bounded by arterial and collector roadways.
· Commercial services, which serve the residential areas, may be located in
response to market forces.
This concept provides identifiable residential/commercial villages that offer a density
gradient from a nucleus of activity, followed by medium-high densities, medium densities
and ultimately surrounded by low densities. All residential/commercial villages have
natural definable edges, well defined entry features, are focused on their own village
core, and promote interconnectivity with adjacent projects.

Residential/Commercial Village Cores
Village cores are intended to be the focal point of these villages, providing a place where
residents can meet and participate in community activities. Examples of uses
appropriate for the village core include:
· Recreational Centers
· Commercial Services
· Senior Centers
· Parks and Open Space
. Health clubs
· Swimming Pools
These community support facilities should be concentrated at the core. In the village
core, design elements such as streetscape, multi-purpose trails, and activity centers
should be designed in a manner to achieve a unifying theme and identity to the village.

Residential/Commercial Village Character and Identity
Each residential/commercial village should be developed to achieve a sense of unique
character and identity as individual neighborhoods within the Northwest Marana area.
This is accomplished through:
. Coordinating landscaping through entire village,
. Providing special entry identification at the arterial/collector road entrances to the
village,
. Providing landscaping palettes at street edges and at village cores.
Specific design objectives, policies and standards for village design are contained in this
element. Additional design guidelines are included within the Design Guidelines portion
of this Area Plan.

Intent
r-
The intent of the Village land use is to encourage new development that provides a
nucleus around, which neighborhood identity and community structure can be built, and
is not limited by the strict application of residential densities and or commercial
intensities. Through a specific planning process, or through other development
processes, the developer and the Planning Department will work together. Based upon
recommendations provided by the Planning and Zoning Commission, the Town Council
may approve, disapprove or modify the specific plan or development plan submitted by
an applicant.
More specifically, it is the purpose of this village concept to:
1. Encourage flexibility in design and development that will result in a more
efficient and desirable use of land;
2. Permit flexibility of design, placement of buildings, use of required open
spaces, circulation facilities, off-street parking areas, and otherwise better
utilize the potential of sites characterized by special features, such as
geography, topography, location, size or shape;
3. Provide for maximum efficiency in layout of streets, utility networks, and other
public improvements;
4. Produce an integrated or balanced development of mutually supportive uses;
5. Provide a guide for developers and city officials who review and approve
developments meeting the standards and purposes of the Northwest Marana
Area Plan; and
6. Provide a diversity of price ranges that include low, medium, and high-income
levels.

Town Center Planning Area Land Use Concept
,...
,....
The Town Center Planning Area is intended to be the focal point of Northwest Marana.
The Town.Center shall function as the place where residents can meet and participate in
community activities. The configuration of the core area should be flexible and
consistent with the intent of providing accessibility to the surrounding neighborhoods
through a system of pedestrian walkways, trails and open spaces. Town Center uses
include recreation center, senior citizen centers, senior housing, parks, libraries, schools,
churches, commercial, multi-purpose center, health clubs and other public facilities,
institutional and recreational uses as provided within the Town Center Element of this

The Town encourages property owners to work together to develop cohesive
commercial developments on larger parcels by joint ventures or joint design efforts.
Important considerations in the development of commercial areas include a complement
of activities and continuity of on-site circulation, access and design themes.
,...
,...
,...
,...
The desired concept for development consists of a community activity center surrounded
by residential neighborhoods bounded by major roadways. Design elements should be
designed in a manner to achieve a unifying theme and identity as defined within the
Design Guidelines of this plan. The Town Center should be designed to achieve a sense
of unique character and identity accomplished through coordination of landscaping, entry
identification at arterial road entrances, landscaping at street edges, and within the core
in accordance with specific goals, objectives, policies and standards provided in the
Town Center Element of this Plan.

The Town of Marana General Plan identifies the need to establish a Marana Heritage
Center within the Northwest Marana' Area. This traditional core area (downtown) should
provide a service orien~ed, retail, Gultural and office center for the Northwest Marana
community. The vision of residents for this area includes heritage events and Southwest
themes integrating specialty shops with public plazas, and open space for activities
shared by the agribusiness tier and easily accessible from residential neighborhoods
surrounding the Town Center. The Town Center should function as the community's
governmental, social, cultural, recreational and retail center. Recognizing that expansion
will bring steady development pressure to this area, the following goals, objectives,
policies, standards and guidelines are designed to promote the desired image and
character while planning for healthy growth.

,....
Goal 1: Allow commercial property to be developed in a vibrant, sustainable and
economically efficient manner that will contribute to the economic base of the
community, while encouraging a strong identity.
,....
Goal 2: Establish safe, effective, sustainable and attractive pedestrian friendly
transportation systems, which interconnect public, institutional, residential,
commercial, and recreational areas within the Northwest Marana Area and
provide linkages to those areas adjacent to it.

determined by its location, shape, and type of facilities and
services offered. Further individual imaging needs to be
established by:
,......
,....
. Unique perimeter road landscape theme;
· "Southwest" inspired architectural themes for community
facilities, public and commercial buildings;
· Parks, schools and people gathering activity centers;
· Appropriate on-street and off-street parking and multi-

Community Design Element
The purpose of the Community Design Element is to encourage and ensure, to the
maximum extent possible, the establishment of a quality urban landscape within the
Northwest Marana Area. The various elements of the urban landscape, include the
planted landscape structures, architectural styles, roads, buildings, the land itself and
most importantly the vision of the residents. This element intends to provide general
guidel.ines. for the Northwest Marana Area. An architectural study should be conducted
to articulate "Southwest" architectural themes, which reflect the rural heritage of the
Northwest Marana area.
,-.
,....
-
The Northwest Marana area presents a duality where the "Southwest" meets urban
needs. This duality must be expressed through the appropriate articulation of space
while balancing interaction and privacy, workplace and home, marketplace and
recreation needs. Creating this interaction, evoking the rural heritage or flavor of the
area and providing for other needs such as aesthetics, privacy and tranquility, is the
primary purpose of the Community Design Element.

Electric Vehicle Charqinq Parkinq
,...
Today's technology allows for cleaner forms of transportation. The electric
vehicle is one example. To support the deployment of electric vehicles,
businesses and public agencies have begun to provide charging stations
at non-residential locations. Reserved parking spaces for the charging of
electric vehicles should be provided in close proximity to employee or
visitor entrances, and at a minimum distance to a power source. A
charger typically utilizes one standard size parking space. In California, a
minimum of one space must comply with state interim guidelines for
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance. In addition, space
should be available for signage and wheel stops. Preferred areas include
landscape islands, utility transformer locations (if near building
entrances), and parking structure walls near walkways. These spaces
will count towards the total number of required spaces. More information
regarding location and specifications for electric vehicle charging stations
can be found in "Getting Charged Up, A Local Government Guide to EV
Public Charging," February 1999, prepared by The Planning Center.

Landscape Requirements
A distinguished landscape design can set the image and character for a
development site. The landscape theme for the Northwest Marana area
should render a distinctive identity that reflects the rural heritage of the
area. The image shall reflect the "Southwest" character that is
complementary to the architectural styles and the uses. In general,
planting design shall be informal, and the plant palette shall be simple.
All landscaped areas shall be of high quality and well maintained year
round.

,....
,....
The landscape development character for these parcels can be divided
into two primary landscape design components: Streetscape and On-Site
Landscaping. Streetscape applies to treatment of parkways adjacent to
roadways, and landscape treatment along roadway edges and
intersections. On-site landscaping encompasses entry zones; parking
areas; pedestrian plazas and courtyards; building perimeters;
loading/service areas; and side and rear setback areas. Guidelines for
each of these design components are discussed in the following sections.
,....
,....
,....
1. Streetscapes
Streetscape treatment in the Northwest Marana Area shall be clean,
simple, and inviting in character. A hierarchy of street scene can be
established through the manipulation of setback width and landscape
design. Focal points shall be placed at the major intersection areas while
landscaping along the arterials. shall have minimal accent planting to
promote a strong continuous edge.
,.....
-
GUIDELINES
r
· Adjoining parcels for future phase development will have the required
streetscape fully implemented when the first phase of development
occurs. This will include the planting of street trees and the hedges
for parking lots screening.
· Prior to the preparation of a final landscape plan, a landscape
architect must review impacts on underground utilities.
· All trees are to be a minimum 15 gallons and shrubs/hedges are to be
a minimum 5 gallons when installed with larger plants interspersed as
appropriate.

2. On-site landscape.
On-site landscaping js the responsibility of individual parcel owners, and
landscape plans shall be submitted as part of the development site plan
approval process. The objectives for on-site landscaping guidelines are to
establish compatibility of the general landscape image among the five
planning areas, and to ensure proper coordination with adjacent
streetscapes and common property line landscaping. The guidelines also
set provisions for individual identity and flexibility within each parcel.
,...
,...
,...
A. On-site Landscaping Design Concept
On-site landscaping within the Northwest Marana Area shall be of
simple composition, in scale with the building mass, parking areas
and adjacent street width. This effect can be achieved through:
,...
,...
· The use of a limited plant palette;
· Large sweeps of single species along street frontages and
vehicular entries; and
· Massing of similar plant materials in side and rear yards, and
parking lot areas. More detailed treatments, accent trees and use
of shrubs is encouraged at formal building entries, pedestrian
plazas and courtyards.
,...
,...
,....
Entry Zone
An entry zone is the transition area between the public street access point
and the private building entrance. This zone includes the entry driveway,
access to parking areas, visitor parking and drop-off area, and building
entry area. As the entry zone sets the image and identity of a
development parcel, a speciallar:ldscape treatment shall be applied.
,...
,...
,...
GUIDELINES
· Project entry signage must comply with all applicable signage
guidelines and be integrated into the surrounding landscape.
· For traffic visibility purpose, no trees or shrubs shall be planted within
10 feet of any entry driveway.
· No parking shall be allowed along the major entry driveway.
· Accent plant materials or specimen trees are recommended at formal
building entries but not allowed to encroach into the streetscape
setback at the site entries or at sign locations.
· Visitor parking and drop-off areas shall be clearly defined with special
landscape materials and enriched paving.
· Plant selection should conform to the approved plant palette.
Additional accent plant materials or specimen trees are permitted with
approval from the Planning Director.

Transportation Element
,...
,...
,...
A multi-modal transportation system; which provides for the safe and efficient movement
of people and goods, is needed to support existing and future development in the
Northwest Marana area. The purpose of this element is to establish appropriate
development standards that will provide a basis for addressing transportation nee'ds
within, the ,Northwest Marana Area. The Transportation Map is included in this Element.
,...
,......
Transportation facilities in Northwest Marana are currently uncongested, and offer a high
level of service to the residents and businesses in the area. The existing infrastructure
is, however, designed for the current rural uses. Urbanization will rapidly strain these
existing roads in both capacity and function. Of particular concern is the region's
reliance upon Interstate 10 as a major transportation corridor, which will necessitate
significant public investment for access via new and improved interchanges, mainline
capacity and operational/safety improvements. In addition there are safety concerns
related to the existing roadway infrastructure, which must be addressed.
,......
,...
The Transportation Element is closely related to the Land Use Element. This is due to
the inherent two-way relationship between land use and transportation. Land use
patterns directly affect the demand for transportation facilities, with more intensive land
uses generating more traffic and requiring greater degrees of accessibility. Conversely,
the transportation network affects land use in that access provided by transportation
facilities (existing or proposed) influences the use of land located adjacent to these
facilities.
,......
,......
,.....
The Town is currently working on the initial phases of a comprehensive, town wide
transportation study, which will further refine the area needs, goals, objectives and
alternatives after the completion of this Area Plan.

Definitions Pertaining to Airport Planning
,...
The Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 77, the State of Arizona and the Airport
Master Plan provide the following definitions:
r-
Airport Influence Area - The State of Arizona enacted legislation, which gives governing
bodies and local communities the ability to establish Airport Influence Areas (AlA) to aid
in notifying owners and potential purchasers of property that they are in an area that is
subject to aircraft noise and overflight. An Airport Influence Map is provided in the
Airport Master Plan.
,...
r
Approach Profiles - The Approach Profiles and Runaway Protection Zones depict that
portion of the airspace surrounding the airport, which directly relates to each runway
end's respective approach surface. Approach profiles depict physical features such as
topography, roadways, railroads, trees, etc. that are within the vicinity of each runway
end and which may affect the approach surface.
,-.
ro
Civil Airport Imaqinarv Surfaces - Civil airport imaginary surfaces are established in
Section 77.25 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) with relation to the airport and
to each runway. These imaginary surfaces include:
a. Horizontal Surface - A horizontal plane 150 feet above the established airport
elevation, the perimeter of which is constructed by swinging arcs of specified
radii from the center of each end of the primary surface of each runway of each
airport and connecting the adjacent arcs by lines tangent to those arcs. The
radius of each arc is:
. 5,000 feet for all runways designated as utility oryisual
. 10,000 feet for all other runways
b. Conical Surface - A surface extending outward and upward from the periphery
of the horizontal surface.
c. Primary Surface - A surface longitudinally centered on a runway. When the
runway has a specially prepared hard surface, the primary surface extends 200
feet beyond each end of that runaway. When the runaway has no specially
prepared hard surface, or planned hard surface, the primary surface ends at
each end of that runway.
d. Approach Surface - A surface longitudinally centered on the extended runway
centerline and extending outward and upward from each end of the primary
surface.

Compatibie Use Zones (CUZ) - Compatible Use Zones comprises land uses located
within the Airport Influence Area (AlA) Land uses within the Compatible Use Zone
should be compatible with land uses established in the On-Airport Land Use Plan.
1
1
On-Airport Land Use Plan - The purpose of the On-Airport Land Use Plan is to
coordinate uses of airport property in a manner, which is compatible with the functional
design of the airport facility. The Airport Master Plan identifies four land use categories,
which include airport operations area, general aviation areas, commercial/industrial
aviation related, and open space.

Land Use Compatibility Objectives, Policies and Standards
,...
,....
The responsibility for determining the acceptable and permissible land uses and the
relationship between specific properties and specific noise contours rests with the local
authorities. Federal Aviation Requlations, Part 150, Land Use Compatibility and
Guidelines are not intended to substitute federally determined land uses for those
determined to be appropriate by local authorities in response to locally determined
needs and values in achieving noise compatible land uses. Federal Aviation
Requlations, Part 150 recommends guidelines for planning land use compatibility within
various levels of aircraft noise exposures, which are included in the Airport Master Plan.
As the title indicates, these are guidelines only. FAR part 150 explicitly states that
determinations of noise compatibility and regulation of land use are local responsibilities.

This 3,000 square foot new commercial
gallery is located on historic Lower Canyon
Road in Santa Fe. The design recalls the
traditional Territorial architectural style and
responds to issues and concerns of the
neighborhood residents.
A Glossary of Southwestern Architectural Terms
adobe: a building
material traditionally
made of mud and
straw, commonly
made into bricks
An open plan exhibit space provides
versatility for shows of paintings, sculptures,
and southwestern antiquities. A bathroom,
kitchenette, and sunny office support this
exhibit space. A full basement lends
additional storage.
bancos: low
(earthen) benches,
built into the walls
for sitting
canale: water spout
or roof drain
Although the structure fills the allowable
zoning envelope, the careful exterior
treatment avoids any box-like resemblance.
Also included on the site are a generous
parking lot, landscape areas, and an exterior
sculpture garden.
entrada: entryway
hacienda: territorial
mansion
,.
jardines: garden
latillas: small
branches, usually
used to form a
ceiling, often place
on viQas
rammed earth: a
type of construction
where walls are built
by compacting soil
and aggregates in
wooden forms on the
site
The Southwest Territorial style includes
simple one and two story structures with
pitched roofs. Other architectural elements
include: dormers used sparingly, hip or gable
roofs with less steep pitch for porches or
loggias, smooth texture stucco, standing
seam metal roof, doors and windows flush
with the wall surface, and wood trim,
reminiscent of the Territorial detailing defining
major openings.

Appendix 0:
Northwest Marana Monitoring Plan
,...
Development Monitoring Program
,...
Purpose
,....
The Development Monitoring Program and procedures are intended to provide the Town
of Marana with an accurate record of the type, size, status and timing of various
development projects within Northwest Marana and systematic method for assessing the
impacts of these development proposals on the Northwest Marana area's infrastructure.
This, in turn, will allow proper advance planning by the Town staff in terms of design of
infrastructure improvements and capital financing.
,....
,.....
The monitoring program and associated data base will also assist the Town to ensure
that a degree of development flexibility can be exercised as the Northwest Marana Area
Plan is implemented, but that overall density and development ceilings can still be
maintained.
,..
Scope of the Monitoring Program
r-
The following infrastructure systems are included in the monitoring program:
a) Traffic and roadway facilities
b) Water and sewer facilities
c) Storm drainage systems
,.....
-
Development monitoring questionnaires have been prepared for each of the above
topics and are included as Tables D-1 through D-4 in this section.
,....
Specifically, the monitoring program will address the following infrastructure information:
Traffic
,...
a)
,.....
b)
r-
c)
Traffic demands and roadway requirements associated with development
proposals within the project area, which will include traffic forecasts resulting
from completed development within Northwest Marana, as well as forecast traffic
for those projects which have been approved but not constructed.
Timing of roadway improvements based upon a given level of development in the
project area.
Signalization needs at key intersections within Northwest Marana.
..-
Water and Sewer
,....
a) Cumulative water and sewer demand in system prior to requests for development
review, including demands from projects approved but not yet constructed.
b) Water and sewer demand for the development proposal in question based on
standardized generation factors.
,....
,.....

c) New cumulative water and sewer demand, including the development being
considered along with assessments for system improvements to accommodate
total demands.

a) Cumulative existing water run-off at the boundaries of the project area, prior to
consideration of individual development proposals.
b) Cumulative water run-off at project boundaries considering the latest
development increment being reviewed, as well as all other previously approved
development projects, completed or not, to establish the theoretical maximum
outflow of anyone concentration point.

I
The monitoring program requires the input of accurate development-related information
in order to provide a credible database and deliver accurate forecasts. This data, to be
collected as part of the monitoring questionnaires, includes:
n
a) Project location within the Northwest Marana area.
b) Existing land use data for the project location.
c) Proposed land use type and density/intensity.
d) Daily trip generation rates, AM and PM peak hour trips for adjacent street source
(traffic portion only).
e) Identification of drainage areas affected by the proposed project and estimate of
both existing (pre-project) 1 DO-year storm run-off and with construction of the
project (drainage portion only).
f) Estimated water consumption and sewage generation rates as a result of the
project in question (water and sewer only).
In each instance, applicants are required to use standardized Town generation rates for
traffic, water and sewer usage and water run-off unless alternative arrangements are
made with the Town of Marana Engineer's office.

Program Outputs
The following types of output can be achieved from the monitoring program.
M
I
a) Traffic demand forecasts, including a summary for background (existing) traffic
plus approved development traffic plus proposed project traffic. The forecast
demand volumes can be summarized by traffic component, such as increase in
town-wide traffic, increase in regional through traffic and Northwest Marana
traffic. Results of this output function can be compared with base traffic demand
forecasts (background traffic plus approved development traffic) to determine
specific impacts resulting from development of proposed projects.
b) Roadway improvement phasing summaries and estimates regarding the level of
remaining development which could occur prior to the need for additional
improvements.

Cycle of Activity
,...
The following general cycle of activity described the proposed day-to-day functioning of
the monitoring program.
,...
a) The Town of Marana Planning Department will distribute monitoring packets to
potential development applicants consisting of:
. Blank monitoring questionnaires (traffic, water, sewer, drainage).
. Instruction forms, including standardized infrastructure generation rates.
b) Completed questionnaires are returned to the Planning Department along with
development plan submittals. This is the "input" phase of the monitoring process.
The Town Council will establish a processing fee, by resolution, to recover costs.
c) Information contained in the questionnaires are reviewed and evaluated by the
Town staff. Town staff inputs this data into the various computer models (traffic,
water, sewer, drainage).
d) Results of the modeling runs are reviewed by Town staff to determine the type
and level of infrastructure improvements that are needed to accommodate
development caused by background conditions plus previously approved projects
plus development. Appropriate conditions of approval are placed on approval of
development project.
e) If project is approved, impact information is added to the base conditions of the
various infrastructure models.

Appendix F: Residential/Commercial Village Concept
,..
The Residential/Commercial Village land use is based on the old concept of self-
sufficient neighborhoods, where people clustered their homes and places of work
together for commerce, socialization, and recreation within a self-contained village. It is
modeled after old neighborhoods, where walking, not driving, was the way for neighbpr
to visit neighbor, and where a vibrant plaza or park is the focus of community life. -
Designed as a "neo-traditional" community, Residential/Commercial Villages incorporate
residences, recreational facilities, parks, schools, and commercial services in a
pedestrian-friendly environment. Residential compounds, a diverse but coherent
architecture, and proximity to the Village plaza or core provide an attractive streetscape
for residents, workers and pedestrians. The Village offers differing lot sizes at various
prices to enhance economic diversity. The compact village core with extensive open
space, its energy efficient designs, and its emphasis on water recycling and
conservation will provide a healthy model for future development in Northwest Marana.
The Residential/Commercial Village concept offers an alternative to urban/suburban
sprawl while providing its residents with a range of attractive homes close to parks, work
and shops. _
,...
,..
-
,...
,...
,...
Figures 1, 2 and 3 illustrate different approaches to the Residential/Commercial Village
land use concept. The core of the village contains park area, which includes a school.
This core is surrounded by high-density residential and commercial uses. Medium
density residential surrounds the core with lower densities at the fringes of the village.
Roads incorporate multi-purpose trails to encourage pedestrian activity.

As shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3 above, the concept of the village should adapt to
environmental opportunities and constraints. Figure 1 represents an ideal situation
where the concept works as defined. Figure 2 represents an irregular-shaped village
located on a parcel of land that presents envi.ronmental constraints. In this case, the
natural drainage and washes are preserved by the provision of park and open space
which also includes a 100 percent retention area, somewhat shifting the core of the
village.

A variety of economic development programs have been implemented in a wide diversity
of communities to promote economic development. These incentives include land
pricing, tax abatements, grant writing, revolving loan fund, the industrial park concept,
and state incentives.
,..
Land Pricing
,...
One successful program implemented in Albion, Michigan, is Land Pricing. There are
many properties in the Albion area (both undeveloped and previously developed) that
are available for lease or sale at rates that are very competitive for this region. Industrial
Park lots owned by the Albion Tax Increment Finance Authority are priced at $6,000 per
acre, with substantial incentives available based on amount of investment and job
creation.
,..
,...
Grant Writing
,...
Assistance can be provided to businesses in applying for and obtaining grants to help
fund aspects of the expansion or development for services such as Workforce
Development and job training.
-
Industrial Park Concept
,.....
The industrial park is set up as a building shell that can be used to house start-up
businesses or businesses that are new to the community and don't wish to build their
own facility. These buildings make business start-up fast and affordable.

Programs to Promote Economic Development

Downtown Revolving Loan Program
The Downtown Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) is designed to be a form of alternative
financing for development projects by businesses in a specific area. This type of loan
program has been utilized by a number of communities in the State of Arizona to boost
economic development within existing commercial areas. Through this program, the
municipality, upon the review of the Planning Department, may waive the building permit
fees within a specific District. A Northwest Marana Economic Development Council
could be established to administrate this program which facilitates 0% interest loans up
to $50,000 for qualified facility owners to:
. Improve appearance of existing facilities;
. Increase property values;

,
The Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program provides low-cost rental housing
assistance to many Arizona residents. Administered by the Arizona Department of
Commerce, this program provides a dollar-for-dollar credit against federal income tax
liability for owner/developers of qualifying residential rental projects for a period of 10
years. The credit is intended to produce a cash subsidy to aid in the production of
affordable housing and, in return, the developer agrees to restrict rents for a period of
time.

'l
Approximately $6 million in federal income tax credits is available annually to developers
willing to build or rehabilitate residential multi-family apartment projects and make them
affordable. The federal tax credits finance approximately 60 percent of overall
construction costs. The tax credits are typically sold for 60-70 cents on the dollar with the
proceeds used toward the cost of construction. For example, $6 million in annual credit
authority taken 10 years equals $60 million. "(his $60 million produces $36 million in
available cash ($60 million x 60 percent) to produce affordable rental housing. To date,
more than $44 million in tax credits has been allocated assisting in the creation of
10,000 units of low-income housing. These projects have leveraged more than $500
million in Arizona's construction industry.
