AGENDA ITEM:
J.2
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Barbara C. Berlin, AICP, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Public Hearin2. Ordinance No. 2005.23: Relating to Development;
approving and authorizing a rezoning for the Hopkins Family
Trust.
DISCUSSION
Historv
The town initiated this rezoning of approximately 14 acres of land owned by the Hopkins Family
Trust. The intent of the rezoning is to replace the antiquated zoning of "E" with a contemporary
zoning district in an area where development is imminent. Staff recommends the Hopkins
Family Trust parcel be rezoned to "VC" Village Commercial because it will help to create a
cohesive commercial core at the Marana Road interchange and at the western edge of the San
Lucas development along 1-10.
At no cost to the town, Hopkins Family Trust dedicated 1.5 acres of the 14 acres for right-of-way
improvements leading into the San Lucas development off Adonis and Marana Roads.
Location
This property is approximately 14 acres of land located west of the San Lucas development, east
of the railroad and 1-10 and generally north of Adonis Road.
Zonin2
Current zoning on the site is "E" (Transportation Corridor). The town requests rezoning to "VC"
(Village Commercial). Approximately 33 acres of land to the east and north are also Village
Commercial. Interstate 1 0 lies to the northwest and to the southwest. Much of the land fronting
1-10 remains zoned "E". The General Plan identifies the rezoning area as Corridor Commerce,
which is compatible with "VC" zoning.
Future Development
The Hopkins Family Trust intends to develop a retail center on the site.

SUMMARY OF APPLICATION
This is a Town initiated rezoning of approximately 14 acres of land lying between the
San Lucas development and the Union Pacific Railroad. The land is owned by the
Hopkins Family Trust. The intent of the rezoning is to replace the antiquated alphabet
zoning of "E" with a contemporary zoning in an area where development is imminent.
Staff is recommends the Hopkins Family Trust parcel be rezoned to "VC" Village
Commercial because it will help to create a cohesive commercial core at the Marana
Road interchange and at the foot of the San Lucas development. Approximately 33 acres
of land to the north and east of the Hopkins Family Trust (San Lucas blocks 1 and 10) is
zoned "VC" (Marana Ordinance No. 2003.25).
As a condition of the San Lucas development, the developer was required to perform a
number of off site improvements to provide adequate regional circulation and appropriate
access to the project itself. These improvements include the realignment of Cochie
Canyon Trail with the existing Marana Road interchange and the extension of Adonis
Road. In order for these right-of-way improvements to happen portions of the Hopkins
Family Trust property were dedicated to the Town of Marana at no cost. Of the 14 acres
of the property in question, approximately 1.5 acres have been dedicated.
The Town initiated a rezoning in 2003 but the owners of the property, Hopkins Family
Trust, requested a continuance to resolve unfinished matters regarding their property.
Now the owners are ready to proceed with the rezoning.
RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS
1. Compliance with all provisions of the Town's Codes, Ordinances, and policies of
the General Plan, current at the time of any subsequent development, including,
but not limited to, requirement for public improvements.
2. Before a certificate of occupancy is issued for any dwelling unit on the Property,
the developer shall have completed or shall provide evidence to the Town's
satisfaction that the developer has made a diligent effort to complete the process
of having the Property annexed into a fire district.
RECOMMENDED FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The development of the property in a fashion and use consistent with the adjacent
San Lucas parcels will benefit the community. The project is in compliance with
all other development standards related to this classification.
2. This proposal is consistent with the purpose and intent of the Land Development
Code, the Northwest Marana Area Plan and the Town of Marana General Plan.
3. This proposal does not appear to be detrimental to the immediate area or to the
health, safety, and welfare of the inhabitants of the area and the Town of Marana.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the property be rezoned from "E" to "V C"
Suggested Motion:
I move that PCZ-03043, Hopkins Family Trust Rezoning be approved subject to staff
recommended conditions.
