He noted that every other Friday night the MWHC put on a timed event rodeo where only a limited number of entries were accepted.

He noted that youth events were interspersed throughout the evening and included boot scrambles, calf scrambles, break -away roping, and barrel racing and were free to the youth participants. He formally invited each of the Council members to the upcoming August 27th rodeo event and asked for their assistance in distributing prize monies. He handed out individual invitations to the Council along with the arena schedule. These informational handouts have been made a permanent part of this record. He said that one of the Marano Western Heritage Committee's first year goals was to produce some form of kids' corral or playground where the younger children could play during the rodeo events. He said that another goal was to host events that provided charity funding. He said that a sponsorship packet would be available shortly in a monthly newsletter. He noted that the committee was also in the process of obtaining new bleachers and of acquiring additional parking and fencing. 3 MINUTESOF1tEGULAR COUICILMEETING k f t fi Mr. Temple explained that, within the organizations three year plan, the MWHC was seeking to raise the quality of the rough stock in order to attract a better participation at the gate as well as attract a higher level of charities with which the MWHC might align for mutual events.

He thanked his fellow committee members who included Vice President Don Carpenter, Treasurer Jim Cosbey, Secretary Lea Ann Dorrel, Board Member Tim Escobedo, Board Member Butch Jacobs, Board Member Marty Latta, Board Member Jon Post, Board Member Gary Pruitt, and Board Member Dan Sample.

He also singled out Teri Murphy and Lea Ann Dorrel for special recognition and thanked them both for working diligently to organize the rodeo events. Mike Mencinger spoke before the Council regarding a recent award received by Vince Lorefice, Fleet Supervisor. Mr. Mencinger pointed out that Mr. Lorefice was a member of the Rocky Mountain Fleet Managers Association, a management. society that included members from Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, and Idaho. He said that Mr. Lorefice was named the Fleet Professional of the Year by the organization. Mr. Mencinger reported that during Mr. Lorefice's two years in the Town's employ he had implemented many new services which raised the level of customer service for various departments. He said that Mr. Lorefice was also a member of the Marana Safety Committee, the founder and chair of the Vehicle Incident Review Committee, a member of the Town - assisted Day Care Program, and a member of the Employee Recognition Committee. The Operations and Maintenance Manager added that he was extremely proud of Vincent Lorefice and happy to have him in his division. He concluded by stating that Mr. Lorefice represented the future for the Towri s fleet management. Lisa Hewlett, representing the Pima County Health Department, spoke before the Council regarding the West Nile Virus Surveillance program. She explained that two birds found in Marana had tested positive for the disease and that it was a true threat to the community. Ms. Hewlett said that County staff had stepped up its investigative testing and surveillance. Council Member Honea commented that the two infected birds had been his canaries and that he had lost 30 of his 40 canaries over a month -long wait for test results from the health department. He said he was very disappointed in the lack 4 y MINUTES OE BEGUN - COUNCW ETING Y 4019M ow T HALE of courtesy and service from the County and related that the blatant disregard and inefficiency had devastated his aviary. Ms. Hewlett acknowledged the recent lack of communication with the test of the infected birds and apologized for the failure in the Pima County Health Department's system. She vowed that the problem had been corrected and stated that West Nile (WN) virus activity accounts were planned for community informational meetings. Mr. Reuwsaat commented that he had spoken to the health officials at Pima County and it was his understanding that anything within the Marana town limits would be reported to Town officials who would then take steps to inform the citizenry. He added that the County had assured him that the communication problems had been resolved. He said that the Town had its own very active mosquito abatement program and that the Maintenance & Operations crew was out in the community taking care of problems with standing water by applying larvacide to the areas. Ms. Hewlett stated that Pima County had received hundreds of mosquito complaints and would alert Town officials whenever these complaints were within the Town boundaries. She distributed brochures and magnetized promotionals for the Fight the Bite! Program, an expansion of the Arizona Department of Health Services' (ADHS) statewide mosquito -borne encephalitis surveillance program. She said that the ADHS and other agencies expanded the program in 2000 to enhance the ability to detect the West Nile virus and a protocol to report and test dead birds through the existing surveillance system. She remarked that the Pima County Health Department had begun to collect and submit dead birds for West Nile virus testing at that time. She reported that within Pima County there were six positive mosquito pools, seven positive birds, and one horse. She said that there had not yet been a human case of WN found in Pima County. She said that 290 human cases of the virus had been verified statewide with the majority of the cases found in Maricopa County. She asked for everyone to be vigilant in watching for and eliminating standing water, to keep their screen doors and windows in good repair, and to use the mosquito larvacide. She said to avoid going outdoors between dusk and dawn and to wear long sleeves and pants as well as use DEET - contained insect repellent if you had to be outside during that time. Mr. DeGrood spoke before the Council and introduced Keith Brann, Subdivision Engineer. He said that Mr. Brann was a registered civil engineer and came from the St. Louis, Missouri area. Everyone welcomed Mr. Brandt. 5 . . .a}.. } MINi7TES OF REGUL`' COUl�LCIL MEETING{ Mr. Brandt thanked the Council for their welcome and said that he was excited to be onboard with the Town. He remarked that he looked forward to helping streamline many of the processes used within the Public Works arena. Council Member Escobedo reminded the Council and public of Rosie Martinez's total loss of her home by fire last year. He noted that Ms. Martinez had been a Marana Food Bank volunteer for nearly twenty years and was a beloved member of the community. He reported that Francisco Rodriguez, Marana Building Inspector, was very instrumental in assisting officials with acquiring a new home for the Martinez family. The Council Member thanked Mr. Rodriguez for his community spirit and noted that, even though the Martinez's new home was in unincorporated Rillito, the Town stepped up to the plate to help one of its community members. Mr. Rodriguez thanked the Council Member for the kind words and said that he was happy to volunteer his time to worthy causes within his Town.

B. COUNCIL ACTION 1. Resolution No. 2004 -118 Relating to real estate; approving and authorizing the execution of a communications site lease agreement with Nextel Communications for the non - exclusive use of the Marana Municipal Complex communication tower (Frank Cassidy) 7 � NIINUTES O�REGULAR CO C�MBF� �� �` � Mr. Cassidy presented this item before the Council and said that it authorized the Mayor to execute a lease agreement with Nextel Communications relating to the new tower that would replace the existing one located at Town Hall. He said that the new tower would be 85 foot tall and would have other entities collocated on the pole. He credited Tony Casella, who was in attendance and available to answer questions, with securing an excellent lease rate. Upon motion by Council Member McGorray, seconded by Council Member Blake, Resolution No. 2004 -118 was unanimously. 2. Resolution No. 2004 -125 Relating to real estate; authorizing the acquisition by negotiation or condemnation of right -of -way for the extension of Marana Main Street north of Grier Road; and declaring an emergency (Frank Cassidy) Mr. Cassidy spoke regarding the proposed resolution. He said that it requested authorization to negotiate the acquisition of the Marana Main Street north of Grier Road. He said that the property, known as the Hum- Gee property, had been in litigation for several years and the Town was seeking authorization to approach the property owners with a fair market value price of the right -of -way but if an agreement was not reached then authorization to file a condemnation case would be sought so that possession of the property could be taken by the Town of Marana. He said that this would give the Town the opportunity to at least build a temporary roadway through the site in conjunction with the completion of the new municipal complex. Council Member Honea asked how the Town would determine who to purchase the property from if the litigation was still ongoing. Mr. Cassidy commented that this was a good question and remarked that if he was able to acquire all of the involved parties' signature on an agreement and then having the monies placed in an escrow account then the Town could settle the matter without filing a condemnation case. He noted that, in view of the contentious and long litigation period, he doubted the parties would agree. 8 MINUTES -OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING ° . MAR��iNATO,W1Y���iALL., AUGUST 17 2004 The Town Attorney explained that it was typical for a municipality to file a condemnation case naming everyone making a claim to the property. He said that the property's monetary value was placed in the court system and gave the TOM possession of the property. He stated that the money was held until the court determined who the rightful property owner was. He said that this allowed the Town to actually build the road before the matter was resolved and that the determination of the property owner was made through the courts. Mayor Sutton suggested that the TOM needed to proceed with the eminent domain action and construct the needed roadway. He asked if this action would impact the property valuation. Mr. Cassidy replied that the litigation should not impact the property valuation but that, in condemnation cases, there was always a vast difference in opinion on property values. He said that Marana's appraiser had indicated a fairly high value for the property in question and that both sides were indicating that there would not be much dispute over working with that monetary number. Council Member Honea asked if the property owner was the entity that planned to develop the property. He said that, if so then the Town would probably have them gift the roadway right -of -way. He commented that the negotiation process was getting ahead of itself and possibly raising the actual price of the property due to the improvements by the construction of the roadway. He said that the value of the land would be increased. Mr. Reuwsaat said that this factor had been taken into account and would be brought into play when the development agreement was negotiated. Mr. Cassidy added that the Town would be taking the minimum amount of right -of -way necessary for the minimum amount of roadway and that the road would basically be a throwaway road. He noted that the ultimate road and the ultimate structural integrity of the road was going to be determined at the time of rezoning and that the developer would pay for the reconstruction. Upon motion by Council Member Honea, seconded by Council Member Comerford, Resolution No. 2004 -125 was unanimously approved. 9 MINUTES OF REGULAR GO f CII MEETING A' T O � 3. Resolution No. 2004 -134 Relating to land development; approving and authorizing the Mayor to execute a development agreement with Monterey Homes Construction, Inc., and Stewart Title and Trust, Trust 3240, relating to a 154 -acre development located within the Rancho Marana Specific Plan area; and declaring an emergency (Frank Cassidy) Mr. Cassidy presented this item and noted that a revised agreement had been delivered to the Town Council prior to the meeting. He said that there had been issues with development policies that were resolved in the new version. He acknowledged that Mr. Racy, representing the developer, was in attendance to answer any questions the Council members might have. He explained that the project consisted of a seven block development with four blocks initially proposed to be residential with three of the blocks to be 6,000 sq. ft. lot sizes and one with 4500 sq. ft. due to its close proximity to the Town core. He remarked that there were various other elements about credits on future impact fees. He said that this property was at the heart of two major pieces of infrastructure and that this factor played a part in some of the provisions. Mr. Reuwsaat said that the project had been in negotiations for over 16 months and that it dealt with a piece of property the TOM was exacting approximately 40% of the total project for parks, transportation needs because of its location with the intersection of Clark Farms Drive and Tangerine Farms Loop Road. He stated that the developer was giving up much more than would be required with any other project because of the logistics of the development. He said that there were two or three clauses within the development agreement that called for the Town to credit the developer back appropriate credits per State law if the appropriate impact fees were passed. Mayor Sutton asked if the credits had to be part of the development agreement. Mr. Cassidy replied that the developer was entitled to receive a credit but the specific amount of the credit could often be a subject of long argument at the end of the process. He said that the development agreement had the parties agreeing up front on the percentage of credit. Upon motion by Council Member Escobedo, seconded by Council Member McGorray, Resolution No. 2004 -134 was unanimously approved. 10 s ,r 3 4 Y4 1VIINIJTES #O REGUL NCO CILMEETING „ 4.

He said that the opposing counsel and he had reached an agreement subject to the Council's approval. He noted that he asked for the executive session in case someone had questions. It was determined that there was no need for an executive session. 5. Authorization to settle the condemnation case, Town of Marana v.

A. 1 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: MAYOR AND COUNCIL Jocelyn C. Bronson, Town Clerk Resolution No. 2004-135: Relating to Liquor Licenses; consideration of recommendation to the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses & Control for a new No. 10 beer and wine store limited liability company liquor license submitted by Eckerd Drugs #8420, located at 7740 N. Cortaro Road. DISCUSSION Jason Barclay Morris, on behalf of Eckerd Drugs #8420, is applying for a new No. 10 beer and wine store for a limited liability company liquor license for premises located at 7740 N. Cortaro Road. The business is in compliance, and the Marana Police Department, showing no record on file, has completed a background check. In accordance with the State of Arizona Guide to Arizona Liquor Laws, the Clerk's office has received two copies of an application for a spirituous liquor license from the State Department of Liquor Licenses & Control Department. One copy of the application has been posted on the front of the proposed licensed premises for 20 days prior to this meeting. The Council, as the appropriate governing board, must hold a meeting and either approve, disapprove or offer a "no-recommendation" decision on the application. This action must take place within 60 days of the filing of the application. During the time the governing body is processing the application, the Department will conduct a background check of the applicant. If the application is approved at the appropriate government level, and no written protests have been received by the Department, and if there is no objection by the Director, the application will be approved. This process normally takes 90 days after the filing of the application. If the governing body disapproves the application or offers the application or offers a "no- recommendation" decision, or if the protests have been filed with the Department, the application must be set for a hearing before the State Liquor Board. The hearing may be conducted by the board or by a designated hearing officer. The purpose of a hearing is to consider all evidence and testimony in favor of or opposed to the granting of a license. The applicant for a new license bears the burden of demonstrating his or her "capability, qualifications and reliability" and that the granting of a license is in "the best interest of the community" except that, in a person-to-person transfer, an applicant need only prove his or her BLU Eckerd Liquor.doc "capability, qualifications and reliability". An applicant in a location-to-location transfer need only prove that the granting of the license is in the "best interest of the community". The decision by the board to grant or deny an application will normally take place within 105 days after the application has been filed, unless the director deems it necessary to extend the time period. A.R.S. § 4-201, 4-201.01, 4-203; Rule R-4-15-102. RECOMMENDATION The applicant has met the posting requirements for a new No. 10 beer and wine store limited liability company liquor license for premises located at 7740 N. Cortaro Road to the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses & Control and has met the posting requirements. The Town Clerk has received no comments in favor or against the application.

Bronson Town Clerk Frank Cassidy, Town Attomey IOF1 Marana, Arizona Resolution No. 2004-132 TOWN COUNCIL MEETING INFORMATION TOWN OF MARANA MEETING DATE: September 8, 2004 AGENDA ITEM: IX. B. 1 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: MAYOR AND COUNCIL Jane Howell, Human Resources Director Relating to Personnel, adding the positions of Public Works Documents Coordinator; IT/Radio Communications Technician (dedicated to Police Department); and Maintenance/HVAC Specialist DISCUSSION Since the FY2004-2005 budget was approved, unexpected work pressures have escalated in several departments. Information Technology activities continue to increase as staffing grows and business functions become more sophisticated. Of particular concern are the intense requirements of upgrading and maintaining police department technology, including an immediate need to implement the new radio system and develop and maintain the tower sites. The position of IT/Radio Telecommunications Technician would reside in the IT department but be assigned specifically to the Police Department. A draft position description is attached. As construction continues on the new building, complex Heating/Ventilation/Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems are being installed. The Town does not currently have qualified staff to work with the systems. While it is unlikely that repairs will be needed on the new systems, they require routine maintenance and daily monitoring. The person hired to perform these tasks will also be able to perform maintenance and repair tasks in support of existing staff in the Operations and Maintenance Department. A draft description is attached. While Jaret Barr acted as Interim Development Services Administrator, he identified a need for clerical support for the Public Works Engineering team. He brought an intern on as interim support until such time as a Plans and Documents Coordinator could be approved. Jim Mazzacco has reviewed the need for the position and concurs that the intern is performing tasks critical to the effective performance of the construction management function. I recommend hiring the intern who is currently in the position. A draft description is attached. Additional StaffJH 2/24/2004 1:33 PM NJH Staff requests approval for these positions. Fiscal impact would be: IT/Radio Communications Technician $36,000 + $10,800 + $3,000 work station = $49,800 Public Works Plans & Documents Coordinator $30,000 + $9,000 (work station in place) = $39,000 Maintenance Worker/HVAC Specialist $29,000 + $8,700 + $33,000 (vehicle, tools & uniforms)S70,700 Estimated Total Impact + $159,500 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of three additional staff, IT/Radio Communications Technician, Public Works Plans and Documents Coordinator and Maintenance Worker/HVAC Specialist, to be hired as soon as possible. I move to $159,500.

B. 3 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: MAYOR AND COUNCIL Kevin Kish, Interim Planning Director Ordinance No. 2004.19: Relating to specific plans; approving a Specific Plan Amendment for the Rancho Marana Specific Plan. DISCUSSION The Rancho Marana Specific Plan was originally adopted by the Marana Town Council on February 6, 1990. In May of 1999, the Rancho Marana Specific Plan was amended by the Council to divide the Plan into two parts, Rancho Marana East and Rancho Marana West. On October 17, 2000, the Town adopted the Northwest Marana Area Plan. This application is a request for approval of an amendment to the Rancho Marana Specific Plan. The proposed amendment is intended to bring the Rancho Marana 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. 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, new cross sections for Sandario Road, Tangerine Road and Moore Road. In addition, the Town Center area has been revised to reflect the current Town Center Plan as approved by Mayor and Council. The 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 1-10. The plan is divided into two separate sub-areas. The first is located on the east side of 1-10 and is known as Rancho Marana East consisting of 242 acres. This area is controlled by Doerken Properties, Inc. and is not included in the proposed amendments and maintains the current adopted regulation found in the current specific plan. The second sub-area is to the west of I-10 is the area known as Rancho Marana West consisting of 754 acres. This area is generally divided into three sections with three different master developers. The three developers are Vistoso Partners, who controls Vanderbilt Farms, Greg Wexler who controls the area to the north of Barnett Road, and Monterey Homes who controls Rancho Marana 154. 090804 SPA-03092 Rancho Marana Specific Plan 08/20/04 General Plan: The General Plan ratified by the voters in March 2003 designates the subject area as "Master Planning Area". The purpose of Master Planning Area is to allow greater flexibility in site planning and design. The proposed Specific Plan Amendment is consistent with the Master Planning Area designation. Land Use: One of the main purposes for the proposed amendment is to bring Rancho Marana West into conformance with the Northwest Marana Area Plan. The current plan for the Rancho Marana West included a golf course, a Town Center (in a different location), small lot options outside of the Town Core and high density residential (with the ability to be sixty-five feet in height). The proposed amendment to the Rancho Marana West planning area will bring the land use and the development standards consistent with the Northwest Marana Area Plan and current development requirements. The land use plan provides for five different land use designations that are consistent with the Northwest Marana Area Plan land use concept. The designations are as follows: Town Center (TC) Medium Density Residential (MDR) - 4 RAC Medium High Density Residential (MHDR) - 6 to 10 RAC High Density Residential (HDR) - 10 to 20 RAC Commercial I (C- 1) 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. Circulation: The proposed circulation is in conformance with the adopted Major Routes Plan. The circulation through the Town Center area will be achieved by the construction of the new Civic Center Drive, which will continue south to the realigned and renamed Clark Farms Boulevard, now Barnett Road. Clark Farms Boulevard will run from the western boundary of the specific plan east and southeast to connect with Moore Road. Tangerine Farms 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. Ultimately, Tangerine Farms Road will become the major north/south access and act as a loop road for the area connecting the Tangerine Interchange with the Marana Interchange. Three traffic circles are proposed within the Rancho Marana West Specific Plan area. Subject to approval by the Town of Marana these traffic circles are proposed to be located at the intersections -2- 090804 SPA-03092 Rancho Marana Specific Plan Amendment.doc of Civic Center Drive and Main Street; Civic Center Drive and Clark Farms Boulevard; and Farms Boulevard and Lon Adams Road. DrainaRe: In 1990, when the Rancho Marana Specific Plan was first adopted, 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. Analyses conducted as part of this application assume that the proposed Lower Santa Cruz River flood control levee is in place and over-bank flooding from the Santa Cruz River is mitigated. Runoff emanating from the agricultural land to the south collects at five points of concentration on the south side of Moore Road. The analysis assumes that runoff collecting on the south side of Moore Road all drains across the roadway and onto the subject property when in fact a portion of the flow stays on the south side of Moore Road and drains due west toward Honea Heights. 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 the 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 community to provide physical separation, buffer zones and transitions between varying land use intensities. The regional trail shall 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 trail/sidewalk system that will provide additional community connections. Drainage features, where possible, will be ~ncorporated 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. -3- 090804 SPA-03092 Rancho Marana Specific Plan Amendment. doc Landscape: Roadways are the community's most visible feature. Establishing the basic theme, framework and plant palette will ensure a cohesive image and character for the Rancho Marana Specific Plan area. 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. Airport The Marana Regional Airport is located south of the project site. The project site falls into the limits of the Airport Influence Area. An Avigation Easement has been accepted by the Town. Notification to potential buyers will be provided to address the potential impacts and what mitigation the developers may do to address the issues of noise, flight paths, etc. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Ordinance No. 2004.19, approving a Specific Plan Amendment for the Rancho Marana Specific Plan with the following condition: Recommended Condition The applicant shall make minor changes to the Rancho Marana Specific Plan as recommended by staff, and provide two (2) digital files and 25 hard copies of the approved specific plan within 60 days of adoption by Town Council.

Then in May of 1999, the Plan was amended by the Council to divide the Plan into two parts, the Rancho Marana East Specific Plan and the Rancho Marana West Specific Plan. On October 17, 2000, the Town adopted the Northwest Marana Area Plan and has begun the design and construction of the Marana Town Center which was a key component of the Rancho Marana Specific Plan in 1990. This current amendment/revision is intended to bring the Rancho Marana Specific Plan into compliance with these new documents. Revisions to the Plan Area include a relocation of Barnett Road, the extension of Tangerine Farms Road through the western portion of the Plan Area, redistribution of open spaces, revised development standards for the Rancho Marana West Specific Plan, new cross sections for Sandario Road, Tangerine Road and Moore Road and a redistribution of residential densities. In addition, the Town Center area has been revised to reflect the current Town Center Plan as approved by Mayor & Council. The revisions include both text and graphics. Where needed, land use tables have been revised to reflect the changes made to the Land Use Plan. This revision does not include any revisions to the area east of Interstate 10. Therefore, the Development Standards Section of this specific plan amendment will be in two sections. One section will be the original standards adopted in 1990 and will be applicable to the Plan area east of Interstate 10, which is called Rancho Marana East. The second set of standards will be applicable to the Plan area west of Interstate 10, which is called Rancho Marana West. • • Rancho Marana Specific Plan Revised July 22, 2004 rl XVM 1 -1 • 1. SPECIFIC PLAN SUMMARY This Specific Plan establishes comprehensive guidance and regulations for the development of approximately 996 acres located within the Town of Marana, Pima County, Arizona. The Specific Plan formulates the development regulations, policies and programs for the implementation of the land use plan. The Specific Plan will replace the current property zoning. This Specific Plan is regulatory, adopted by ordinance and is consistent with the Town of Marana's General Plan. The Development Plan (IV), Regulations (V), and Implementation (IX) are regulatory. The Development Capability (III) and Design Guidelines (VI, VII, & VIII) are non - regulatory but essential to the planning and development of the community's character. The Rancho Marana Specific Plan articulates planning considerations for the site and imposes regulations and /or controls for development. This document is a device to implement the General Plan. This document will be a suitable development control mechanism, and when adopted by a jurisdiction will serve both a planning and regulatory function. The Specific Plan will be divided into two areas; land located east of Interstate 10 will be known as Rancho Marana East (approximately 242 acres) and land west of the interstate will be known as Rancho Marana West (approximately 754 acres). There will be separate Master Developers for Rancho Marana East and Rancho Marana West. Their responsibilities include the engineering and implementation of the spine • infrastructure system(s), (which include roads, onsite detention /retention, and utilities) formation of homeowners' associations and associated fees and assessments. The authority for preparation of Specific Plans is found in the Arizona Revised Statutes, Section 9- 461.09. The law allows for preparation of Specific Plans based on the General Plan, as may be required for the systematic execution of the General Plan and further allows for the review and adoption of Specific Plans. As well, the Town of Marana Ordinance 87.22 provides the uniform procedures and criteria for the preparation, review, adoption and implementation of Specific Plans. • Rancho Marana Specific Plan Revised July 22, 2004 Group II -1 • /I. INTRODUCTION A. PURPOSE The Rancho Marana Specific Plan provides a guide for current development and a vision for the future. Located in the heart of Marana, it envisions a thriving central municipal and business district with excellent circulation, quality of development, character and aesthetics. The Specific Plan provides the framework in which a core area of Marana will be developed into a functional Town Center. The site has been analyzed to determine development capabilities while considering environmental conditions and existing infrastructure. B. LOCATION The site is located in the north central area of the Town of Marana bordered on the south by Moore Road. The southern half of the west boundary is one half mile west of Sandario Road. The northern half of the west boundary is approximately 550 feet east of Sandario Road. To the north is Grier Road and the eastern boundary includes 246 acres east of Interstate 10. A regional location map is included as Exhibit 11 -9, and a plan boundary and vicinity map is shown as Exhibit 11 -2. The Specific Plan area is approximately 1 -1/2 miles north of the Marana Northwest Regional Airport. The property can be accessed from Interstate 10 at the Marana • interchange, one half mile to the North, or the Tangerine interchange, one mile to the south. A Moore Road interchange is proposed for the future in the Town of Marana's General Plan and will provide direct access to the property. The northeast corner of Lon Adams and Barnett intersection is the Marana District Park. North of the park is the Sheriffs Department, Marana Junior High School, and the Marana School District Administration office. The northwest corner of this intersection is the existing Town Hall and Police Department. These municipal and school uses form the basis for the Marana Town Center portion of the Plan Area. Rancho Marana is a planned community with a mix of residential, commercial, office, public and recreational uses. Other Specific Plan Developments and Master Planned Developments within the Town of Marana and their respective distances to Rancho Marana include: Continental Ranch, four miles to the south; Acacia Hills, six miles to the southeast, Dove Mountain, six miles to the east and Gladden Farms immediately south of the Plan Area across Moore Road. • Rancho Marana Specific Plante T Revised July 22, 2004 11UP 11 -2 C. AUTHORITY AND SCOPE • The Rancho Marana Specific Plan has been prepared pursuant to the provisions of the Arizona Revised Statutes, Section 9- 461.09. The Arizona Government Code authorizes jurisdictions to adopt Specific Plans by resolution as policy or by ordinance as regulations. The Town of Marana Ordinance 87.22 provides the uniform procedures and criteria for the preparation, review, adoption, and implementation or amendment of specific plans by ordinance. Hearings are required by both the Town Planning Commission and the Town Council, after which the Specific Plan must be adopted by the Town Council to be in effect. Rancho Marana Specific Plan is a regulatory plan, which will serve as the zoning for the subject property. Proposed development plans, or agreements, preliminary plats and any other development approval must be consistent with the Specific Plan. Projects, which are found consistent with the Specific Plan will be deemed consistent with the Town's General Plan and applicable Area Plans. The intent of this Specific Plan is to provide a concise development plan for the subject property. This Specific Plan will serve to implement the development of the approved plan within the bounds of the regulations provided herein and will be adopted by ordinance as a regulatory document. D.

DEVELOPMENT CAPABILITY • A. TOPOGRAPHY AND SLOPE The Specific Plan area is currently used for agricultural purposes and is characteristically flat. The site gently slopes down from the southeast to the northwest and west. There are no restricted peaks or ridges, rock outcrops, topographic features, or slopes 15% or greater on the site. Exhibit //1 -1 illustrates the topography and slope of the Specific Plan area. B. EXISTING LAND USE Rancho Marana is located centrally within Marana's town limits. The current land use is primarily agricultural and much of the property is currently being farmed. Existing land uses within 1/4 mile radius include the Gladden Farms development to the south; along the north boundary of the Specific Plan area are single - family residences, Marana Junior High School, the Marana Library, the Marana Town Hall and Ora Mae Harn Park. East of the site the land is vacant native desert and to the west the land is currently agricultural fields. Existing features are depicted in Exhibit 111 -2. The Specific Plan area is accessible from five roadways. The east/west roadways are Moore and Barnett Roads. Moore Road, the southern boundary of the site, has a 60' R.O.W. and is paved. Barnett Road, one -half mile north of Moore Road, is a paved roadway with a 50' R.O.W. Additionally, Grier Road provides access via • Sandario and Lon Adams, all of which are paved. The north /south roadways include Postvale, Sandario and Lon Adams Roads. Lon Adams Road, perpendicular to Barnett Road, is paved, as is Sandario Road, which is a section line road with a 90' R.O.W., and Postvale Road, which is unpaved, and runs perpendicular between Barnett and Moore Road. Postvale Road runs along the Section line between Sections 27 and 26 and has a 60' R.O.W. Interstate Highway 10 cuts through the southeastern portion of the site (See Exhibit 111 -2) and will provide direct access to the parcel in the future. Paved frontage roads exist on both sides of Interstate Highway 10 and provide direct two - way access to the north and south. There are six areas scattered on the Specific Plan area that have farm - related building structures (see Exhibit 111 -2). There are two well sites, one located in Section 26 and one in Section 28. The Northwest Marana Area Plan Land Use Element identifies several land uses within the Specific Plan area. A Town Center is shown in that portion of the Plan Area in Section 27 north and south of the current Barnett Road alignment at the intersection of Barnett and Lon Adams. • Rancho Marana Specific Plan T � Revised July 22, 2004 �BAdA Gro�ua I .. r ) L_.a � ... • —_ -- � � � - _- it \ ,.._._ __ _. -_ -. -: ` E - z 0 -, I - 198 (� m . m l 198 IJI o r ° v —,. - SAN DAR10 ROAD 1 i ;L V I O - .1992 _ o : 3 T . - -•'I ' .. 994 If _ —__ l 9g � - f 4 ,/ � x:1994` I9 LON ADAMS ROAD -- , 200 ^, r 1 / 1 Q o f: _ i 5 / / q t E� POSTVALE ROADS 3 °a c c : :) ) 0 O o j cA i /l'� /� , / f! o' cD C / _ z - 0 cD D O � g1 r L ro CD 01 CD 1 9 Iii } t 201 - 2 ti 2.._. 012 1 4 , y _ _ � t - s l Dom` _:f n �° r%j e _ �. /.w'.r/,• ° � t...

HYDROLOGY • In 1990, when the Rancho Marana Specific Plan was first adopted, the three principal sources of offsite runoff that continue to affect this property include Santa Cruz River over -bank flooding, runoff from agricultural lands south of Moore Road, and Tortolita Mountain foothill runoff. Analyses conducted as part of this Specific Plan preparation assume that the proposed Lower Santa Cruz River flood control levee is in place and over -bank flooding from the Santa Cruz River is mitigated. Runoff emanating from the agricultural land to the south collects at five points of concentration on the south side of Moore Road. The analysis assumes that runoff collecting on the south side of Moore Road all drains across the roadway and onto the subject property when in fact a portion of the flow stays on the south side of Moore Road and drains due west toward Honea Heights. Exhibit 111 -5 shows the points of concentration and 100 -year peak discharge rates for offsite runoff, which drains to the subject property. Run -off quantities from existing agricultural land are small on a per -acre basis. Computations of the peak discharge rates using the Pima County method found the 100 -year peak flow rate from the agricultural land to be 1 CFS per acre, and the unit discharge for the more frequent events (2 -year to 10 -year return period) to be negligible. I The analysis of Tortolita Mountain foothill runoff incorporated detailed hydraulic routing studies to determine peak outflow rates from the CAP overshoot structures and incorporated channel routing along the north edge of the Union Pacific • Railroad (UPRR) to determine the quantity of flow draining to the subject property from the southeast (i.e. the Tangerine Road intersection area). The UPRR routing analysis accounted for reductions in the quantity of flow arriving at the site because of flow through the UPRR culvert and weiring over the railroad tracks. The Specific Plan establishes the Report on Alignment and Cross Section Alternatives for Tributary Drainage - The Lower Santa Cruz River Flood Control Project," December 2, 1987. The results of this detailed routing study found: 1. That 3025 CFS drains along the north side of the UPRR to Concentration Point #6. This runoff emanates from the area near the Tangerine Road /Interstate 10 intersection and is principally comprised of flow from Wild Burro Canyon. The quantity of flow at the Tangerine Road /Interstate 10 intersection is about 5800 CFS, but this discharge is reduced to 3025 CFS by the time of arrival at Concentration Point #6. The peak flow reduction from 5800 CFS to 3025 CFS occurs as a result of flow passing through UPRR culverts and weiring over the railroad between Tangerine Road and the property. There is no known history of low weiring over the UPRR suggesting that no major floods have occurred in recent time or that the discharge valves may be overestimated by standard hydrologic procedures. Overestimation may exist because of flow attenuation in the broad, shallow, sandy bottom channels on the Tortolita Fan. 2. That 578 CFS emanating from CAP overshoots within section 23 arrives at Concentration Point #7 (the entrance to the Adonis channel). Rancho Marana Specific Plan ,,P T Revised July 22, 2004 WW roup 111 -8 3. That 2312 CFS emanating from CAP overshoots within section 25 drain • to Concentration Point #8 along the east boundary of the subject property. 4. That runoff draining to Concentration Points #7, #8, and #9 coalesce along the north side of the UPRR and drain northwesterly adjacent to the railroad embankment. The existing culvert structure beneath the UPRR, 1 -10 and frontage road drains 859 CFS onto the subject property west of the transportation corridor. The remainder of the flow continues to drain northwesterly on the east side of the railroad. Five additional UPRR culverts north of the Adonis channel drain flow to the west side of the transportation corridor. A portion of this flow- through will drain westerly (south of Grier Road) and across the area of Rancho Marana within the northwest quarter of Section 27. What was not reflected in the hydrology study used in the preparation of the original Specific Plan is the Town of Marana's decision to turn the Barnett Road alignment into a 200' 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 as a result of developing the site. As a result of this facility, Barnett Road will be realigned approximately 600 feet south of its current alignment. Currently onsite runoff from the subject property drains due west toward the Santa Cruz River. The onsite runoff occurs as sheet -flow, except where confined • or concentrated by elevated roadways or canals.

VEGETATION AND WILDLIFE HABITAT • The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed the pygmy owl as an endangered species in March 1997. Under the Endangered Species Act, recovery plans for the conservation and survival of endangered and threatened species are developed and implemented. The entire site is currently farmed for agricultural purposes. There is no indigenous Sonoran Desert vegetation onsite. The area does not contain any Class I or Class II wildlife habitats as identified by Dr. Shaw, University of Arizona, for the Pima County Department of Transportation & Flood Control District. A letter from the Arizona Game and Fish Department lists no special status species onsite; see Appendix B. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is currently mapping and establishing areas that would qualify as suitable habitat or as recovery areas for the Pygmy Owl. Given the agricultural history of this parcel, it is highly unlikely that it would be considered as habitat or as a recovery area. i Rancho Marana Specific Plan - � T � ���� �=� Revised July 22, 2004 �9 t;"ro w,,.� III -11 E. SOILS AND GEOLOGY • The subject property contains nine different soil types, generally composed of a loam substance. These soils range from a very fine sandy loam to a silty clay loam. During the various phases of development, these soils will serve as structural or foundational material for building. Engineering design considers several soil properties to be important to the proper design of urban development. These properties include permeability, shrink - swell, compaction, expansion, drainage and shear strength. Permeability indicates the rate at which water moves downward through undisturbed soil material. The texture, structure and porosity of each soil type determine its rate of permeability. The potential for shrink -swell is indicated by the volume change resulting from the shrinkage of the soil when it dries and swelling as it absorbs moisture. The amount and type of clay in the soil type determine the shrink -swell potential and the soil contraction /expansion characteristics. Drainage of the soil is a function of the soil's porosity. Shear strength is dependent upon several factors: 1) soil origin, 2) thickness of the soil and 3) the soil's parent material. The Soils map, (Exhibit 111 -6) identifies the major soil types found in the specific plan area. All onsite soils are compatible with development, given the proper engineering design. None of the onsite soils possesses a major hazard for erosion. The following descriptions from the Soil Conservation Service provide information about the characteristics of each soil type. • Agua Very Fine Sandy Loam (Ag) This soil variety is found on flood plains of the Santa Cruz River with slopes generally less than one -half percent. Runoff is slow on this soil and the hazard of erosion is slight or none. This soil type is commonly used for urban development. Anthony Loam (Ao) Anthony loam is level and nearly level soil and is found on the floodplain of the Santa Cruz River, mostly near Marana. Gravel content in this soil is less than 15 percent and it is composed of well- drained sandy loams. This soil was formed in mixed material that was deposited on flood plains and alluvial fans by rivers and streams. Permeability of the soil is moderately rapid while runoff is slow. Erosion is not a problem with this soil type. Anthony loam is suitable for urban development, material for engineering work and water supply purposes. • Rancho Marana Specific Plan �-�� T Revised July 22, 2004 mABALYA�up mm mrl O a � a O `° 0 Z ;U 01 m m m l < o p 0 D p Z p Z 1 D r DO o SANDARIO ROAD CIL� M t ��o m Cr > CT1 ' �� Q cQ _. 0 G7 � 3 0 � o A LON ADAMS ROAD G) y cr G) C CT7 6 � o LON ADAM ROAD D = 00 Z m- POSTVALE ROAD POSTVALE ROAD �D o c) n D O c z � D o aa� G) s D O 3 D 3 G 3 Gr c° r N -a a° D D r s o s d n r� r z N III -13 Anthony Sandy Loam, 0 to 1 Percent Slopes (AhA) • Anthony and Loam is located in the Santa Cruz Valle with ravel content Y Y Y g being less than 15 percent. The texture is sandy loam throughout the profile. This soil formed in mixed material that was deposited on flood plains and alluvial fans by rivers and streams. The vegetation is mostly annual grasses, weeds, mesquite, scattered palo - verde, creosotebush, saguaro and cholla cactus. Runoff is slow on this Anthony soil, with erosion hazards being slight. This soil type is appropriate for urban development and as a source of material for engineering work. Brazito Loamy Sand (Br) This soil type is level or very nearly level and is found on flood plains in the Santa Cruz Valley. Brazito Sandy Loam was formed in alluvium deposited on flood plains and fans and on valley slopes, with slopes being 0 to 3 percent. Permeability of the Brazito soil is rapid with available water - holding capacity of 3 to 3 3/4 inches in irrigated areas and 9 to 11 inches in non - irrigated areas. Runoff is slow with slight erosion danger. The typical uses of this soil include desert range and irrigated crops. It is suitable for development. Brazito Sandy Loam (Bt) This Brazito soil also occurs on level and nearly level flood plains of the Santa • Cruz Valley. The surface layer is sandy loam ranging from 5 to 16 inches in thickness. The soil shares the same general traits and suitability characteristics as Brazito Loamy Sand, described in the preceding paragraph. It is suitable for development. Gila Sandy Loam (Ga) Gila Sandy Loam is found on level and nearly level floodplains of the Santa Cruz Valley. The runoff from this soil is slow and problems associated with erosion are slight or none. Although this soil type is primarily utilized for agricultural uses, it is also commonly used for urban development. Gila Loam, 0 to 1 Percent Slope (GbA) This soil consists of well- drained soils that have a subsoil of loam and very fine sandy loam. Slopes of these soils are generally 0 to 3 percent. Soil permeability is moderate with slow runoff and little chance of erosion. Gila soils are commonly used for urban development and as a source of material for engineering work. Glendale Loam (Gd) The Glendale series is composed of well- drained loams formed in recent alluvium deposited on flood plains and valley plains. Slopes range from 0 to 1 • percent. Permeability and runoff are relatively slow on this soil. Erosion is not a problem in this series and the soils are suitable for urban development. Rancho Marana Specific Plan ,,-- TW�% Revised July 22, 2004 Group III -14 0 Grabe Loam (Gh) This is a well- drained loam, which formed in recent alluvium deposited on flood plains, alluvial fans and valley slopes. Slopes run from 0 to 3 percent. Permeability is moderate and runoff is slow on this soil type. Urban development is compatible with this soil type. Grabe Silty Clay Loam (Gm) Grabe silty clay loam is similar to Grabe loam except for the fact that the surface layer is silty clay loam, which runs from 6 to 12 inches thick. Runoff is slow on this soil with little hazard of erosion. This soil is commonly used as a source of material for engineering work and for urban development. Pima Silty Clay Loam (Pm) The only soil of the Pima series occurring in the area is found on flood plains in the Santa Cruz Valley. Permeability of these soils is moderately slow and runoff is medium, with the hazard of erosion being slight or none. These soils are often used for urban development and water supply, among other agricultural uses. Vinton- Anthony Sandy Loam (Vu) About 85 percent of this soil type consists of Vinton Sandy Loam and of Anthony • Sandy Loam, although an area may consist of Vinton or Anthony varieties. Runoff is slow and erosion hazards are minimal. These soils are commonly used for urban development and as a source of material for engineering work. Geology The proposed Rancho Marana development lies completely upon the Santa Cruz River's youngest terrace deposits (Arizona Geological Survey, open -file report 88 -18). The terrace deposits may be as much as 60 feet thick locally, however, they are generally thinner. The terrace deposits are typically comprised of reworked older terrace and Valley Fill material and are cut into the older, underlying Valley Fill and terrace deposits. Several terraces are located along the Santa Cruz River, however, only the youngest terrace appears to be present within the Rancho Marana Specific Plan area. The terraces increase in age and elevation outward from the Santa Cruz River channel. The youngest and topographically lowest terrace lies adjacent to the river channel. The youngest terrace is associated with modern flood plains of the Santa Cruz. Soils: Based on the existing literature and on experience with the soil conditions in the area, the near surface deposits, in approximately the top ten (10) feet below the existing ground surface, especially associated with the youngest terrace, will consist of sandy silt and sandy clay soils. Locally, the sandy silt and sandy clay • soils will grade laterally into silty or clayey sand. These near surface soils will Rancho Marana Specific Plan y T , e Revised July 22, 2004 Q�t3AdA group III -15 likely be underlain by a relatively thin layer of medium dense to dense sand, • which in turn is underlain by sandy gravel cobbles and boulders. Development within the proposed Rancho Marana Specific Plan area is feasible from a geotechnical standpoint. We anticipate that, in general, residential or other similarly loaded structures and moderately loaded commercial, retail or industrial buildings can be properly supported on conventional foundations which bear on properly compacted fill, firm natural ground, or properly prepared natural ground. Moderately to heavily loaded structures will generally require special foundation considerations depending on their locations. The major geotechnical concerns regarding development are 1) the possibility of near surface loose or soft alluvial soil across the site, 2) low to moderately expansive clay, which can be expected to be present locally across the Santa Cruz River terrace, and 3) potential collapsible soil conditions which are likely to exist along river terraces. More detailed site specific investigations should be performed as part of the platting and development plan process to 1) determine if expansive soils, loose or soft surface soils, or potentially collapsible soils are present and how they will impact the proposed structures, and general development infrastructure roadways and utilities, and 2) develop specific recommendations that pertain to specific site soil conditions. Geology of the site is characterized by unconsolidated alluvium (material eroded from rock formations). There are no rock outcrops on site and there are no • faults. A soils letter from GRC Consultants, Inc. is included as Appendix H. F. ARCHAEOLOGY The Arizona State Museum, as part of its Northern Tucson Basin Study, conducted an archaeological survey of the Rancho Marana property in 1985. During the course of the fieldwork, three areas were recorded as archaeological sites (AZ AA: 12:678, AZ AA: 12:680 and a portion of AZ AA: 112:684) within the Specific Plan boundaries. In addition, within the Specific Plan area west of Interstate Highway 10, a prehistoric canal has been documented in the NW 1/4 of section 26. The canal parallels the Interstate for about 600 meters (2,000 feet). (see letter from AZ State Museum, Appendix C). An initial archaeological study has been completed for the Plan Area. The report outlines a mitigation plan. The developer /builder shall be responsible for testing and excavation of sites prior to any ground disturbing activities (see Appendix C) per Section V.C.7. • Rancho Marana Specific Plan T Revised July 22, 2004 Rlpwl�B III -16 G. EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC SERVICES • Schools: The area encompassed by the Specific Plan lies within the Marana School District Boundaries. There are two schools in the immediate vicinity. The Marana Junior Nigh School is adjacent to the northern boundary of the plan area and Estes Elementary School is north of Grier Road at 13650 N. McDuff Road. Both schools have capacity for additional students. Discussions are ongoing with the Marana School District, and a letter shall be submitted to the Town from the District either prior to ordinance adoption or as a condition to the Specific Plan ordinance. Fire Services: The Northwest Fire District currently services portions of the Specific Plan area. The nearest fire station is located at the southwest corner of Sanders Road and Grier Road. Natural Gas: Southwest Gas Company provides service to the plan area. The Existing Infrastructure map shows gas mains, which exist within 150 feet of the plan • boundaries. These mains run north and south within the Sandario Road right -of- way and then to the east within the Barnett Road right -of -way for approximately one quarter of a mile. A 60' easement for El Paso Natural Gas runs from the northwest to the southeast of the subject parcel (see Exhibit /I/ -7). This is a 10 3/4" high - pressure supply line which runs to Phoenix. It is not a usable supply line. Electricity: Tucson Electric Power Company (TEP) serves the plan area west of Interstate 10. Trico Electric serves all potions of Rancho Marana east of Interstate 10. There are three major electric lines in or near Section 26 (see Exhibit 111 -7). These are overhead 14 W lines which run along the east side of Postvale Road, the south side of Moore Road and the south side of Barnett Road. Section 27 is also serviced by the 14 W overhead line along Postvale Road, as well as similar lines which run along the south side of Barnett Road and the east side of Sandario Road. Section 28 is serviced by the Sandario Road overhead line and the continuation of the Barnett Road line and a line along the south side of Moore Road. The Existing Infrastructure map delineates existing electric utility lines and underground cables in the plan area. Rancho Marana Specific Plan T Revised July 22, 2004 � 6 WLB B III -17 Water: • The Specific Plan area is within the Town of Marana Water service area. The Cortaro Water Users Association is the provider of non - potable irrigation through the Town, (Appendix G). Emergency Services: Northwest Hospital is the nearest major medical facility. It is located at Orange Grove Blvd. and La Cholla, approximately 14 miles southeast of Rancho Marana. Northwest Hospital is currently processing construction documents for a new hospital approximately 13 miles east of the site on Tangerine Road. The Northwest Fire District can provide emergency service with certified Emergency Medical Technicians. Wastewater: An 8" sewer line runs north of Barnett Road along Sandario Road. North of Grier Road, this line becomes a 12" line, which turns west on Trico Marana Road to the Marana Treatment Facility located in the southeast corner of Section 14, Township 11 South, Range 10 East. Under existing conditions, adequate sewer capacity does not exist for the build -out of this project. Pima County Wastewater recommends that for limited commercial /public use, north of Barnett Road, septic • tank and leaching fields will be adequate. For initial residential development, gravity sewage to the Marana Treatment Facility is available. Pima County Wastewater Department response letter is included within Appendix D. Rancho Marana East will be serviced by a private sewer system until such time as the area has reasonable access to a public sewer system, at which time existing private sewers shall connect to the public system. All non - residential development shall meet current Pima County pre - treatment standards. Rancho Marana West will be served by a public sewer system. Private Utilities Telecommunications and cable television will be extended into this area at the time service is necessary through agreements with the individual utilities. Telephone service will be provided by Qwest. There is a 16.5' easement running diagonally through Section 26 where an underground AT & T cable is located. There are development limitations over the easement. Cable service will be provided by an undetermined vendor. All new or relocated utility lines shall be placed underground, where feasible. • Rancho Marana Specific Plan .,-� T Revised July 22, 2004 • • �► LE m � U J � z N � rn 0 0 = O Z Z 0 �v o rn N 0 ° o W o r °_� -- 000000000000000000000000 SAN DARI O ROAD O O o � �b 0° ON m N O v 0° cn of O 00 mN °0 0 0 xo ° 0 0 f° o o 0 N a 'ON ADAMS ROAD 0111111 y N m 0n v O O N ,gyp o ° ° 0 0 \0 n� O v LON ADAMS RD N O �^ O N N N ° O v O w O v0 n�0 <POSTVALE ROAD - SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS POSO RD / N ° 0 b / O n C D � oa o s °�► c COCP o o o N O 0 N I 0 V� 0 t7 P-4 n z r 7 L � z 00 IV -1 IV.

The plan as amended in 1999 was divided into 48 planning areas. This amended plan divides the parcel(s) into 42 planning areas. Each planning area contains a symbol of the intended land use. The acreage of the planning units includes land devoted to internal local streets and collectors but does not include acreage for adjacent arterials. The proposed use acreage allocation is summarized in Table V -1 (page V -8) for the Rancho Marana East Specific Plan area, and in Tables V -2, V -3, V -4, and V -5 (pages V -9 and V -10) for the Rancho Marana West Specific Plan • area. The project design presents the area as a planned community. Pedestrian Rancho Marana Specific Plan s ��� l=n Revised July 22, 2004 group w � IV -3 and automobile circulation, infrastructure, aesthetic and visual setting, development standards and guidelines are integrated within all of the land uses. The proposed residential uses have been designed to provide a broad range of housing types meeting current and future housing needs. Housing types range from medium low density to high density and will respond to market demands. Town Center The Town Center in Rancho Marana West is in a central location at Lon Adams and Barnett and is designed to provide for Marana's long range municipal needs. It will provide opportunities for the construction of a phased town hall to include, but not be limited to: • Administration offices • Municipal services • Hearing rooms • Judicial services • Law enforcement • Public utilities • Parks /open space • Recreational facilities The area will also include public, quasi - public and private uses such as business • and professional offices, restaurants, retail shops, public plazas, recreation and cultural /historic centers, as well as a varied range of residential densities. The relationship between the town hall and the existing park can provide ideal indoor /outdoor facilities for community sponsored events, such as parades, exhibits, ceremonies, etc. The Town Center is intended to serve as the community core, strengthening the relationship between land uses and public spaces to create a strong image character and identity for the growing Town of Marana. Circulation within the Town Center will incorporate both landscaped pedestrian corridors and landscaped vehicular corridors. The corridors will connect a series of urban courtyards creating a central town center atmosphere at a pedestrian scale. • Rancho Marana Specific Plan T,��g Revised July 22, 2004 Group-UM 1 • ' �' ' • ' •' � � III 11 � • Dom = ii 111111: • • � .. � �;6 � ,■ 11111• ,� Dw - n O -m • n >n -.- n_cD �3� no � - � • ',�� 9 1 Y 1� J s ��� ,�� 1111 � _ • C-)�"' ��� ► Ill o■ ■■ a. • III / /IIIIIIIIII�� • • .a te - ' O • to 8 N� ce,mn, •• • ..�OW° OW 0" ..

It will have excellent access to 1 -10 and is convenient to the Town Center. Facilities such as Regional Malls are strategically located to provide optimal service to a particular population area. The regional shopping area will provide significant employment opportunities for existing and future Marana residents, in close proximity to their homes. Commercial /Business Centers The commercial centers are in agreement with the Northwest Marana Area Plan and shall be concentrated at node intersections. A node intersection and commercial center is proposed at the northwest corner of the intersection of the new Clark Farms Road alignment with Lon Adams Road. Specific users may include grocery stores, drug stores, banks, garden or nursery centers, retail shops, business and professional offices. Residential Neighborhoods A variety of residential neighborhoods will provide needed housing opportunities for existing and future Marana residents. The proximity to the Town Center, • employment and recreational opportunities and 1 -10 will make these neighborhoods highly desirable. D. CIRCULATION PLAN The Rancho Marana Circulation Plan (Exhibit IV- 2) supports the land use plan by establishing the general layout of circulation for primary arterials and secondary collectors. The proposed network provides easy interstate access for Rancho Marana East and West residents and employees and internal access within the neighborhood. Moore Road is proposed as a 250' right -of -way. Ultimately, Moore Road will be the major access route onto the property via a proposed interchange on Interstate 10 per the Northwest Marana Area Plan and the Marana Master Transportation Plan. The future interchange will be designed and constructed by A.D.O.T. per their standards and requirements. Additional east/west access into the Specific Plan area will be from Clark Farms Road with a 90' ROW. Clark Farms Road curves Southeasterly and intersects with Moore Road. The Moore Road alignment shown in Rancho Marana East, east of 1 -10, has been agreed upon by the adjacent property owners to the east. In the near term, Sandario Road will provide the North /South access into Rancho Marana West Specific Plan area. Sandario Road has a 90' R.O.W. and connects to Grier Road, Trico Marana Road and Interstate 10. Roadway cross - sections for the • Rancho Marana Specific Plan are shown below in Exhibits IV -3 and IV -4. A right -of- way letter from F &D Associates, Inc. is included as Appendix F.

Three traffic circles will be provided within the Rancho Marana West Specific Plan area. These traffic circles will be located at the intersection of Civic Center Drive and Clark Farms Boulevard, at the Clark Farms Boulevard and Lon Adams Road, and at the Civic Center and Main intersection. All rights -of -way and roadway construction falling totally within the boundaries of the Rancho Marana West Specific Plan will be the responsibility of the Rancho Marana West Master Developers. All rights -of -way and roadway construction falling totally within the boundaries of the Rancho Marana East Specific Plan will be the responsibility of the Rancho Marana East Master Developer. Whole or half rights -of- way will be dedicated at the time of plat recordation for both Rancho Marana West and Rancho Marana East. Any half right -of -way dedications along the boundaries of the Rancho Marana Specific Plan will be dedicated at the time of plat recordation. Construction of those roadways along the boundaries shall be the responsibility of the Town of Marana. The Master Developer shall be responsible for paying their fair -share (on a per linear foot basis) assuming no previously approved agreements have been approved by the Town prior to the approval of this plan. All traffic signs, including street name signs, and markings should conform to the standards found in the most recent edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and the Pima County /City of Tucson's (PC /COT) Signing Manual (May 2002). All traffic signs should be installed on metal square tube posts per the PC /COT Manual. The placement of all traffic signs and markings shall be approved by the Town of Marana prior to their installation. E. WATER RESOURCE CONCEPT PLAN As previously stated, in Section III.C, the implementation of this Specific Plan relied heavily on completion of the Santa Cruz River flood control levee. Without it, development would have only been able to occur on a limited basis. Small parcels may only be able to be developed provided it can be demonstrated they do not result in adverse impacts (such as diversion of flow) to adjoining properties and that they are elevated to set the finished floor one foot above the FEMA regulatory water surface elevation. The concentration of offsite flow and increase in runoff due to development will alter existing drainage conditions. The ultimate resolution to these changes must include the construction of the "Barnett Road Channel ", which will deliver both the onsite and offsite runoff affecting the subject property to the Santa Cruz River. This need is realized, but the plan must also provide an interim solution that does not require substantial offsite channel construction. Optimally, the plan should provide interim onsite solutions and allow future integration into a regional drainage plan, which conveys runoff to the Santa Cruz River. Rancho Marana Specific Plan T��j Revised July 22, 2004 A I IV -10 The plan developed to achieve this objective incorporates a system of collector channels to capture offsite flow and a series of retention/ detention basins to store both onsite and offsite runoff until the ultimate long -term drainage plan is completed. These drainage solutions will be utilized, when possible, as community amenities such as open space and drainageways with associated trail systems for walking, jogging and bicycling. In addition, this multi -use approach provides opportunity for water conservation and recreation facilities for the future residents of Rancho Marana. Both the channels and retention /detention basins will be constructed in phases paralleling the development phasing. Each phase of the drainage improvements will provide adequate storage for offsite runoff and the additional runoff from onsite land, which is caused by development. Exhibit IV -5 shows the concept drainage plan for the Rancho Marana Specific Plan area. A cross - section of the Barnett Channel is illustrated in Exhibit IV -6. i Rancho Marana Specific Plan T"� Revised July 22, 2004 AN" CD IH TH D �� m, m �i O �� SSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSS i = 1 � ---- - - - - -- � O SSSS I D m 1 l N p ao o - SANDARIO ROAD - IC "I O [TI `, - ➢ ® >po >nco > N N f >nC7l i LON AD A S - ROAD nZJ� D Id- = LON ADAMS ROAD - - -- POSTVAL - POSTVALE ROAD s - - -- -- i Q z s Ana) r Z7 m � ® C` A f ➢W > ro O� ➢ao co C)N or") rn� > ➢__ nnCo C7C7�1 n Dw Do W V nN W D�U D =0 C) C)= N ➢O.A �In ➢�.P WS W n� n� CD C 0 2 r , I IV i xi .'� IV -13 Offsite runoff draining to, and onsite runoff draining from the portion of the property is east of Interstate 10 will drain either to the Adonis channel or to an existing UPRR culvert for discharge beneath the transportation corridor and to the central collector channel. The existing UPRR culvert has capacity to convey 859 CFS of the total volume of flow arriving at the culvert inlet. The remainder of the flow would drain northwest along the eastside of the UPRR to other existing culvert systems beneath the UPRR and 1 -10 as occurs under existing conditions. As stated in the analysis of existing conditions, a portion of the flow, which drains through the five additional UPRR culverts will drain west and onto the portion of the Rancho Marana Specific Plan area within the northwest 1/4 of Section 27. No analysis has been conducted to determine the exact quantity of flow affecting this portion of the subject property; however, the design channel system will incorporate an interceptor channel along the east edge of the property within the northwest 1/4 of Section 27 to collect and convey this flow. The width of the channel cross sections will vary depending on discharge. Depth of channels will range from three (3) feet to six (6) feet, and side slopes will vary from two (2) feet to four (4) feet horizontal to one (1) foot vertical. The banks of major channels east of the UPRR will be improved with soil cement or gunite where spillover interception or velocities in excess of six (6) ft/sec occur. The banks of those channels west of 1 -10 will be lined only where spillover interception occurs. Preliminary hydraulic analyses found the velocity of flow for channels west of 1 -10 to be less than six (6) ft/sec, so stabilization will be in the form of grass lining or other landscape - compatible material. Implementation of the drainage solution is discussed in Chapter VII: Specific Plan Implementation. The collector channels which are to be constructed parallel to and on the south side of Moore Road are for the purpose of intercepting sheet -flow emanating from the agricultural lands to the south. The cross section of these interceptor channels will consist of a 50 -foot wide by 2 -foot deep landscaped swale. These landscaped swales will collect the sheet -flow, drain it westerly and northwesterly to the central collector channel and retention /detention basins. These 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. The nature of the site topography and existing drainage structures, irrigation canals, and roads presents special design considerations, which must be integrated into the plan to provide a functional drainage system. Most important of these considerations are: 1. Integrating design channels with existing culvert structures beneath the Union Pacific Railroad to allow functional discharge of their flow through those culverts to their design capacity; • Rancho Marana Specific Plan T �,& $ Revised July 22, 2004 Group-A" IV -14 2. The method of collecting flow from the eastbound Interstate 10 culvert and . delivering that flow to the design channel system; 3. A method of providing outlet from the detention basins that transitions flow to its existing sheet -flow condition and does not result in any change in flooding to downstream properties; and 4. Integration of drainage improvements with Cortaro- Marana Irrigation District (CMID) canals. To convey flow underneath the UPRR within existing culverts will require maintaining natural grade at the culvert inlets on the eastside of the railroad. To provide capacity and flow containment, it will be necessary to minimize the excavation and build up the east bank to maintain a hydraulic grade line, which is high enough to allow functional use of those culvert systems. Two options exist for collecting the flow at the outlet of the 1 -10 east bound culvert. One option will be to re- construct the frontage road at the crossing to provide the ability to extend the Interstate 10 eastbound culvert westerly beneath the frontage road, then capture flow within a drop inlet structure. The second option will be to allow flow to cross over the frontage road within a dip section (as occurs under existing conditions), then collect the flow within a drop inlet structure on the west - side of the frontage road. • The outlet of the detention basin must provide a long spillway section to distribute flow to a sheet -flow condition and prevent impacts to downstream properties. Floodwaters stored below the outlet spillway must be discharged from the basin via percolation or injection into the groundwater table via dry well systems. More detailed studies will have to be conducted at the time of development to establish percolation rates and whether or not dry well systems will be needed. Phasing out or re- routing of irrigation channels will be coordinated with the CMID office. F. PUBLIC FACILITIES All of the required public and private utilities are either currently available or will be extended to serve Rancho Marana. Water Rancho Marana is within the Town of Marana Water service area. Domestic water is available to serve this site. See Appendix G. Sewage At present, two wastewater lines are available, a 12" line along Sandario Road north of Grier Road and an 8" line along Sandario south of Grier Road. • Rancho Marana Specific Plan � ;tj�� Revised July 22, 2004 „� �`` IV -15 Adequate capacity for the entire build -out of Rancho Marana does not exist, at ® present, via Pima County's Wastewater Management Department. Pima County Wastewater Management recommends that for limited commercial /public use, north of Barnett Road, septic tank and leaching fields will be adequate. For initial residential development, gravity sewage to the Marana Treatment Facility is available. Rancho Marana East will have a private sewer system and Rancho Marana West will have a public sewer system, which is currently being upgraded by Pima County Wastewater. Rancho Marana East will connect to the public sewer system at such time as the area has reasonable access to a public sewer system. The Master Developer for Rancho Marana West and Master Developer for Rancho East have agreed to participate within the Eastern Sewer Interceptor Community Facilities Plan as approved by the Town of Marana. Private Utilities Electricity, natural gas, telecommunications and cable TV will be extended to this site through contractual arrangements between the developer and the specific private utility companies. Electric service will be provided by Tucson Electric in Rancho Marana West, and Trico in Rancho Marana East. Natural gas service may be provided by Southwest Gas, telephone service by Qwest, and cable service by an undetermined vendor. Private utilities will be placed within roadways, underground (where feasible), designed and installed in accordance with utility company standards. G. OPEN SPACE PLAN Open space is a vital amenity enriching the quality of livable places. It provides an oasis from urban development, creates recreational opportunities and establishes buffers between varying land use intensities. Parks and open space systems give neighborhoods identity. A minimum 50' residential landscaped buffer shall be provided between the existing residential homesites and the Rancho Marana Specific Plan area north of Barnett road and east of Sandario Road within rancho Marana West. The open space traversing the Specific Plan area will provide pedestrian connections between the development area and community amenities. The open space plan for the Specific Plan area is included as Exhibit IV -7. H. RECREATION /TRAIL PLAN 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 Rancho Marana Specific Plan `^ Revised July 22, 2004 GP�i IV -16 Plan area. The recreation areas are integrated within the community to provide • physical separation, buffer zones and transitions between varying land use intensities. These open space areas shall be linked with a regional and community trail system (see Exhibit IV -7). The regional trail shall 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 shall be smaller in scale, 25 feet, located within the open space corridor. Secondary arterial and local collector streets have sufficient rights -of -way to include a pedestrian trail /sidewalk system that will provide additional community connections. A trail concept plan and general notes will be provided prior to approval of a subdivision or development plan per Section V.C.9. 1. LANDSCAPE PLAN The landscape concept plan identifies a hierarchy of landscape treatments, appropriate to Marana within the Rancho Marana Specific Plan. 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, both drought • tolerant and specialty plants, shall be as listed within Appendix E. Landscape concepts for portions of the Specific Plan within the Town Center, per the Northwest Marana Area Plan, will be designed in accordance with the Design Guidelines for the Town Core. The Landscape Plan for the Specific Plan area is illustrated in Exhibit IV -8. The landscape plan is comprised of: • Streetscape • Entry Monumentation • Open Space /Recreation /Drainageways Roadways are the community's most visible feature. Establishing the basic theme, framework, and plant palette will ensure a cohesive image and character for Rancho Marana Specific Plan area. The Landscape Plan as shown on Exhibit IV -8 identifies the major streetscape elements in the Rancho Marana Specific Plan area. Specialty, Primary and Secondary Streetscapes are delineated on the exhibit. Specialty streetscape, to emphasize the community core, is located along the perimeter of the Town Center. The primary and secondary streetscape will provide a safe and aesthetic progression along the major thoroughfare. The difference between the two streetscapes will be in scale. They will include a formal theme with a variety of plant types at varying distances to create an urban or village town core setting.

INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE These design guidelines have been developed as a framework to express the character of the Rancho Marana East Specific Plan area. The statements of intent are flexible enough to promote good design and encourage creativity and quality development. The purpose of these guidelines is to provide a documented basis for evaluating and directing the planning and design of improvements to each area. These guidelines are intended to ensure high quality developments, thus protecting the investment of those who locate within the Specific Plan area. The guidelines are to give guidance to Town staff, the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Town Council in their review of development projects within the Specific Plan Area. They are also design criteria to be used by developers, architects, engineers, landscape architects, builders and other professionals to maintain the design quality proposed herein. The following goals form the basis for these guidelines: • Protection of property values and enhancement of investment • Minimum adverse impact on the ecosystem • Encouragement of imaginative and innovative planning of facilities and sites and flexibility to respond to changes in market demand • Variety, interest and a high standard of architectural and landscape design • Water conservation As guidelines, if there is any conflict with existing Town of Marana ordinance, the most restrictive will apply. B. LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE A landscape theme for the community can act to unify and reinforce the open space and circulation components in the creation of the community structure. The objectives for Landscape Guidelines are: Establish a landscape plant materials palette for use in public rights -of -way, streets, parking lots, setbacks and buffers between different land uses and existing neighborhoods Establish landscaping design guidelines for development of residential and commercial neighborhoods, including street trees, street furniture and view corridors • Rancho Marana Specific Plan T Revised July 22, 2004 RP VI -2 -° 1. Streetscapes There are four different types of streetscaping within Rancho Marana East: 1. Primary 2. Secondary 3. Collector 4. Specialty Moore Road shall have primary streetscaping. The streetscape for these corridors is intended to develop a lush desert scene with a variety of plant types. Random clusters of ornamental trees may provide accent. A building setback may be required and a varying distance is encourage to provide interest and streetscape undulation. The difference between primary and secondary streetscape design shall be in scale. All streets within the project boundaries, internal arterials and collectors shall have a coordinated landscape palette. A recommended plant palette is included as Appendix E. Bicycle paths and pedestrian trails shall be integrated with the street system and adjacent developments where possible. 2. Entries and Nodes Entry statements serve to identify and direct circulation through various developments. Entry statements shall include appropriate signage, architecturally integrated with the development design, and accent trees and plantings. The primary entry statements occur along Moore Road on the east side of Interstate 10. The east entry monumentation is at the intersection of Moore and the Internal Loop.

Screening Non- residential land uses shall buffer abutting residential densities with an effective landscape composition. Landscaping elements include berms, walls, and vegetation. These elements, or combinations of, are to provide visual screening and achieve a transition into the primary use area of the site. BUFFERING RESIDENTIAL AREAS COMMERCIAL RESIDENTIAL WALL LANDSCAPE BUFFER 4. Retention /Detention /Drainageways /Open Space Areas Retention /detention areas shall be designed and utilized as multi - purpose • areas for drainage, open space, active and passive recreation, etc. Landscaping shall include berming and revegetation with drought tolerant plants. 5. Street Furniture /Lighting There are unlimited designs for street furniture that would be acceptable for use within the Rancho Marana East portion of the Specific Plan area. Street furniture is the details in an urban environment which strengthens the identity of the area. These features include: light standards, walk lighting, trash receptacles, benches, bus shelters and plant containers. Street furniture and lighting standards should be set and enforced in an effort to create a uniform urban image for Marana. Lighting shall be used only as necessary for functional requirements of safety, security and identification. Unnecessary use of light is prohibited in the interest of energy efficiency and maintenance of a natural night environment. Lighting should be designed to coordinate with the community theme and shielded to reduce dispersal of ambient light. Lights shall be directed down, onto the pavement/property and not onto neighboring areas. Standards should be separated to create concentrations of light, as opposed to a continual lighting stream. i Rancho Marana Specific Plan r r/� T Revised July 22, 2004 �A ' � �p VI-4 All light standards within public right -of -way and related installations shall be designed to conform to the then- current Town of Marana standards and shall be compatible with light- pollution policies. At the time all construction work in the right -of -way has been completed to the satisfaction of the Town and the right -of -way dedicated, the Town will accept the lighting for maintenance. C. RESIDENTIAL DESIGN GUIDELINES The following general guidelines are intended for use in residential development. The intent is to provide a logical and pleasing environment composed of buildings, landscapes and natural forms. 1. Architectural Theme The guidelines are primarily concerned with the physical appearance of the community environment as perceived by residents and visitors. Within this context, it is the intent of these guidelines to apply to those frontages, boundaries, and perimeter edges that are visible to the public and establish a special project identity Design approaches to maximize the feeling of open space within the development include: a. Theme The architectural theme for Rancho Marana shall reflect a progressive urban development complimenting the regional flavor. Architectural themes may include variations of Spanish, Southwest, Territorial, Mission, Santa Barbara and Modern styles. b. Exterior Materials and Colors Exterior building material shall be consistent with the overall community character. Materials, colors and general style shall be integrated through each development site to achieve continuity of design. Generally, muted colors are the most acceptable for use on building exteriors. Other tones and colors may be used for trim or accent. Highly reflective colors or materials are prohibited on all wall and roof surfaces. Color gradations from building to building should be gradual. C. Walls/Fences/Gates The material of walls and fences used within the residential communities shall be compatible with the architectural design of the structures. The texture and color of walls shall conform to the same • color standards as the main residence. Rancho Marana Specific Plan T Revised July 22, 2004 �,ABAdAeup VI -5 The wall systems along major streets shall respect the designated setback requirement, have a stepped or non - linear appearance, and not exceed six feet in height.

Varied • setbacks will create more interesting vistas and undulate building edges within the development envelope along the streetscape. Design approaches to maximize the feeling of open space within the development include: • curving streets • orienting the road axis to open areas • orienting product types in a variety of ways to avoid the monotony of "garage door corridors" ma Maximize the feeling of open space. include curving streets, open areas to create vistas_ Rancho Marana Specific Plan T Revised July 22, 2004 AdA & & M MB VI -6 In multi - family and single - family attached housing, it is important to provide each unit with its own identity and entry. This can be accomplished by staggering and offsetting each separate unit and combining one and two story building forms to separate massing. b. Parking All parking structures, either freestanding or garages, shall incorporate the same design element as the dwelling units. Open parking areas can be treated as landscaped plazas and courts. LANDSCAPED OPEN PARKING AREAS J // u- D. COMMERCIAL/OFFICE GUIDELINES The following guidelines are not intended to limit designs, but to provide a flexible framework to accomplish an overriding design concept and to encourage quality development. The objective of the commercial/office design guidelines are to: • Achieve market/corporate appeal • Ensure economic feasibility • Reflect function of uses through architectural form • Respond to aesthetic expectations of Marana • Implement the goals of the Specific Plan 1.

Designs for individual projects shall be submitted as part of the site plan review procedure. b. Exterior Materials and Colors There is a wealth of building material to choose from. It is not the intent of these guidelines to limit the ingenuity of the individual designer, but to emphasize the coherence of the project. Since new materials are continually being developed, this particular area of design restriction will necessarily be reevaluated and shall be subject to revision. The recommended building materials are provided to maintain a visual quality throughout the phasing of the development and to provide criteria for the review of the development. Preferred building materials include brick, stucco, adobe, granite, marble, masonry, concrete block and /or glass. Exterior treatments and colors should be of muted, subtle earth tones along with use of bright accent colors. Use of metal as an architectural detail is suitable for commercial building. C. Perimeter Walls Perimeter walls shall be of a general style, material and color integrated through each development site to achieve continuity of design. Perimeter walls shall not exceed a height of six feet above finished grade. 2. Site Development a. Setbacks Buildings shall be sited in a manner that will complement the adjacent buildings and landscape. Building sites shall be developed in a coordinated manner to provide order and diversity. Whenever possible, avoid long linear vistas and building edges by varying and articulating building facades, heights and rooflines.

Introduction and Purpose The purpose of this document is to provide for specific design criteria and standards for the Rancho Marana West planned community, excluding the Town Core. Design guidelines specific to the Town Core are included in a separate document entitled Town of Marana Design Guidelines for the Town Core. The location of the project and conceptual land use plan for Rancho Marana West is illustrated in Exhibits / / -1 and IV -1. This Design Standards document establishes logical standards to ensure that the development is an asset to the community and proceeds in an orderly, attractive manner which meets the expectations of the owners and the Town of Marana. Further, these standards serve to provide compliance with the Town of Marana General Plan, and the Rancho Marana Specific Plan. The southern portion of Rancho Marana West, south of Clark Farms Road, will utilize an agrarian theme to unify and give identity to the project. This theme will blend with surrounding development, specifically Gladden Farms to the south. The northern portions of this project will combine the agrarian theme with more formalized landscapes to tie into the design concept of the Town Core. • Higher intensity uses within this project will be located along the northern property boundary, adjacent to the Marana Town Core, as well as along Interstate 10. This configuration allows the medium density portions of Rancho Marana West to be located adjacent to the proposed residential development to the south. B. Authority and Scope 1.

D. Grading and Drainage Rancho Marana Specific Plan Revised July 22, 2004 ARA T N � VII -5 The site for Rancho Marana West is an existing agricultural field with flat grades of less than 0.5 percent. The design concept for the project is to create a minimal 0.5 percent slope across the site to ensure adequate drainage and to retain the 10- year and 100 -year stormwater flows on site. This will be accomplished by directing the storm water flows to the Barnett Linear Park which will serve as a temporary retention basin and, when completed, conveyance of storm water to the Santa Cruz River. The following standards are incorporated in the Rancho Marana West design: Standards 1. Rancho Marana West is designed to accommodate drainage in accordance with the Northwest Marana Area Plan as specified in the preliminary and final block plat. 2. All retention areas shall be drained within a 36 -hour period of time if they are holding the entire 100 -year storm. 3. All retention basins shall be designed to be as shallow as possible with multiple uses encouraged particularly recreational and open space. The design shall not preclude or discourage riparian area establishment. 4. 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 to the Santa Cruz River. • 5. 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 flow- through to the Barnett Linear Park upon completion of that channel to the Santa Cruz River. 6. Basins requiring security fencing are specifically prohibited. 7. All riprap, erosion protection rock, shall be "Apache Brown" color, or a similar color accepted by the Master Developer and The Town of Marana. E. Circulation System The layout of traffic corridors within the project reflects the existing public street network and is specifically designed to unite residential, recreational, public facilities, and commercial activity areas into a coherent system. Approach and entry shall be effectively designed to announce the transition into the Rancho Marana West project. Points of entry announce to the homeowner and visitor alike the beginning of a familiar or new experience. By using a variety of materials, accent plantings and accent masonry, and by combining placement and scale, a fresh entry expression is projected for Rancho Marana West. The Landscape Design Standards section addresses specific entry feature designs for Rancho Marana West. Rancho Marana Specific Plan t yy Revised July 22, 2004 y B Mup�� VII -6 The arterial corridors within the project area are reinforced by the incorporation of a variety of plant palettes, offering a balanced sense of continuity while maintaining a clear diversity. In addition to vehicular facilities, Rancho Marana West will provide a comprehensive pedestrian and bicycle circulation system. Multi -use lanes will be provided along arterial and collector streets, and pedestrian paths will provide access to the open space system. 1. Pedestrian /Bicycle Circulation Pedestrian- friendly communities are made possible through well- designed and efficient circulation systems. Pedestrian spaces and routes should be designed to invite non - vehicular traffic throughout the Rancho Marana West community. Pedestrian and bicycle pathways shall be planned such that they connect all open space and development areas. These circulation routes should be recognized as recreational amenities and as alternatives to automobile circulation.

Pur IX. SPECIFIC PLAN IMPLEMENTATION AND ADMINISTRATION p Development will be implemented in conformance with the regulations and guidance contained within this Specific Plan. This section provides information regarding general administrative and amendment procedures. For the purpose of identifying those responsible for implementation of the improvements for the Rancho Marana Specific Plan area, three entities must be identified. These are the Master Developers, the Builder, and the Custodial Agency. The Master Developers are the entity responsible for ensuring the basic infrastructure facilities are planned and constructed to serve the development areas within the Rancho Marana Specific Plan. The Builder is the purchaser of a development area, or portions of a development area, responsible to build or provide for building within their areas of ownership. B. Proposed Changes to Zoning Ordinances The Development Regulations section of the Specific Plan addresses only those areas that differ from the Town of Marana Land Development Code. If an issue, condition or situation arises that is not covered or provided for in this Specific Plan, those regulations of the Town of Marana Land Development Code that are applicable for the most similar issue, condition or situation shall be used by the Planning Director and the Development Services Administrator as the guidelines to resolve the unclear issue, condition or situation. C. Site Plan and Architectural Review Process The Site Plan and Architectural Review process shall follow the Rancho Marana East Design Guidelines and the Rancho Marana West Design Guidelines, as outlined in this document. The review process for the Town Center shall follow the "Town of Marana Design Guidelines for the Town Core." Rancho Marana Specific Plan Revised July 22, 2004 �9 g roup IX -2 D. Development Review Procedure The development review procedure for Rancho Marana shall be implemented through the review and approval process of preliminary and final plats by the Town of Marana and through the Town of Marana building permit approval process. Final decision on grading, drainage, final road alignment, revegetation and other matters will be made at the final plat stage. Review process shall include the Master Developers as follows: No structures including signs, shall be erected, improved or altered, nor shall any grading, excavation, tree removal or any other work which in any way alters the exterior appearance of any structure or area of land be commenced unless it has been approved in writing by the Master Developers or designated Design Review Committee (DRC). All proposed subdivision within the Rancho Marana Specific Plan shall be required to submit plans to the Master Developers or DRC for approval prior to submitting to the Town for approval and permitting. Subdivision plats shall be approved by the Town of Marana in accordance with Town of Marana procedures. Final plats shall require the approval of the Town Council. E. General Implementation Responsibilities The Specific Plan shall be implemented through the subdivision review process. This process will allow for the creation of lots as preliminary and final plat maps which allow for implementation of the project. The Rancho Marana Specific Plan will guide the platting process with other official Town of Marana ordinances, policies, maps, and regulations. Implementation of the Rancho Marana Specific Plan shall be the responsibility of the developer, builders and the custodial agency in accordance with the regulations and guidance contained within the Specific Plan, unless otherwise noted. These entities shall be responsible for the engineering and implementation of the spine infrastructure. The spine infrastructure systems are defined as those systems that are necessary to provide development opportunities to the Rancho Marana site. These systems include access roads, residential collectors and associated streetscapes, trunk sewers, irrigation, water mains, electric lines, gas, fiber optics, and phone lines and cable television facilities in the major streets. Once these spine infrastructure systems are put into place, the builder may be responsible for implementation of facilities within the spine infrastructure system that would be damaged or destroyed by secondary development if installed by the developer. Approval of a subdivision plat, development plan, or building permit is subject to the following requirements: 1. Conformance with the Rancho Marana Specific Plan as adopted; 2. Provision of development - related agreements as required by applicable agencies; Rancho Marana Specific Plan T Revised July 22, 2004 g'iup IX -3 3. Dedication of appropriate rights -of -way for roads, utilities, and drainage by plat, or by separate instrument if the property is not to be subdivided; 4. Individual CC &R's for each residential subdivision shall be recorded; 5. Adoption of Master CC &R's; and 6. The maximum number of dwelling units in Rancho Marana shall not exceed 840 for Rancho Marana East, and 3,164 for Rancho Marana West. F. Phasing It is envisioned that this project will be developed as a cohesive, comprehensive development, achieved in several phases. Development will require significant investment in and installation of site infrastructure including utilities and roadway improvements for the entire developable area. G. Specific Plan Administration 1. Enforcement The Rancho Marana Specific Plan shall be administered and enforced by the Town of Marana Development Services Department in accordance with the provisions of the Town of Marana Land Development Code, and by the Custodial Agency for areas dedicated as Open Space in accordance with • the guidelines set forth by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for this site. 2. Administrative Change Certain changes to the explicit provisions in the Specific Plan may be made administratively by the Planning Director or Development Services Administrator, providing said changes are not in conflict with the overall intent as expressed in the Plan. Any changes must conform to the goals and objectives of the Plan. The Planning Director's or Development Services Administrator's decision regarding administrative changes and determination of substantial change as outlined below shall be subject to appeal to the Town Council. Categories of administrative change include, but are not limited to: a. The addition of new information to the Specific Plan maps or text that does not change the effect of any regulations or guidelines, as interpreted by the Planning Director. b. Changes to the community infrastructure planning and alignment such as roads, drainage, and water and sewer systems that do not increase the development capacity in the Specific Plan area. C. Changes to development plan boundaries due to platting. Minor • modifications to the boundaries and acreages of the planning areas or adjustments because of final road alignments and drainage will Rancho Marana Specific Plan Revised July 22, 2004 p�TI�B IX -4 occur during technical refinements in the platting process and shall • not require amendment to the Specific Plan. d. Changes to development standards that are in the interest of the community and do not affect health or safety issues. 3. Substantial Change This Specific Plan may be substantially amended by the same procedure as it was adopted. Each request shall include all sections or portions of the Specific Plan that are affected by the change. The Planning Director shall determine if the amendment would result in a substantial change in plan regulations, as defined in the Town of Marana Land Development Code. 4. Interpretation The Planning Director shall be responsible for interpreting the provisions of this Specific Plan. Appeals to the Planning Director's interpretation may be made within fifteen (15) days from the date of the interpretation to the Board of Adjustment. 5. Fees Fees will be assessed as indicated by the Town's adopted fee schedule that is in place at the time of development. • • Rancho Marana Specific Plan Revised July 22, 2004 ..p APPENDIX A: LEGAL DESCRIPTION X.

ARIZONA ESTis December 1, 1988 Hs. Irene Ogata The Planning Center 950 N_ Finance Center Drive Suite Z10 Tucson, Arizona 85710 Dear Hs Ogata: This letter is in response co your request for information on • potentially significant archaeological remains located in the proposed Rancho Harana Specific Plan. There are three prehistoric artifact scatters within the boundaries of this project area. While all of these sites lie within modern day agricultural fields, there is sufficient artifact diversity on the surface (Chipped stone, groundstone and ceramics) to suggest they were small villages. Design styles on ceramics are used to place sites into particular time periods; however, diagnostic ceramics are absent on the surface of these three sites. The plain ware pottery however, suggests they are Hohokam and therefore date between A.D. 300 and A.D. 1350. A small canal extends through a portion of the property in Section 26 T.11S, R_11E. We currently believe the canal was constructed by the Hohokam to provide water to the Harana villages from the Santa Cruz River. Artifacts along the canal suggest it was built during the Hohokam Classic Period (A.D. 1150— I350). This canal was also re —used during the mid - 1800x. Even though the three artifact scatters are located in agricultural fields there is a good chance that buried architectural features and other items such as human remains may be undisturbed. Most prehistoric sites on the flood plain were often deeply buried under sediments long before historic farming began. The bottom of the plow zone can sometimes be above the prehistoric cultural features and therefore the site remains undisturbed. The artifacts seen in the fields were probably brought to the modern ground surface by rodents prior to plowing and these particular artifacts continue to be churned up and distributed away from the site by farm equipment. Rancho Marana Specific Plan T yy � Revised July 22, 2004 � Group • Hs. Irene Ogata Page 2 December 1, 1988 The easiest and most inexpensive way to determine if there are intact remains is to have the sites tested by a professional archaeologist who would probably use a series of backhoe trenches to search for buried features.

T11E. R11S. Under existing conditiorrs (actual developments and comvitnents for service through approved Sewer Service Agree Tents), adequate capacity does not exist for this proposed development. However, if certain critical downstream sewer reaches were augmented. sewer service to this project could be • provided. A preliminary analysis of the drainage basin indicates that one or more of the existing wastewater purging systems downstream, of the proposed development may have to be augmented. The cost of augmentation construction, including any additional rights- of -+aay that may be necessary. will be the resyarsibility of the owner or developer without reimbursement from Pima County. In addition. treatment capacity is not.available at the existing Narana wastewater Treatment Facility. The developer of this parcel may wish to contact John Oder, the engineer for the 'ttarana Gardens' project to initiate disarssion toward agreement for a proposal and funding of interim improvements to the existing Aarana wastewater Treatment Facility. As an alternative, the developer(%) could wait for construction of the 'nee narana wastewater Treatment Facility. Acquisition of a new site has begun and a consultant is being selected to design the new facility. Construction of the wastewater treatment facility could begin in late 1989. Regardless of how the involved sewage is treated (via interim iagrovements to the existing Mrana wastewater Treatment Facility. M at the proposed new Marano Regional wastewater Treatment Facility). the existing pumping stations may require augmentation. • Rancho Marana Specific Plan .-tip T Revised July 22, 2004 � illpNjB • Irene 09ata The Planning Center January Z5. 1989 Page -2- Should you desire to enter into a Sewer Scrrice Agrernent, a Development Plan or Tentative Plat, showing the preliminary scar layout for the proposed project, nsrst be submitted and *approved.

Hoe 50547 Tucson, Arizona 85703 R£: Water service, Rancho Marana Specific Plan Dear Jack, • The Rancho Marana Secific Plan overlaps the water service area of Cortaro Water Users's.Association- The Association is ready to provide domestic potable water service for the Rancho Marana Specific Plan area, subject to standard Association terms for the*provision of such service and approvals from all the appropriate governmental agencies that regulate domestic water service and construction. Before any plans are approved or construction was to commence on new water service facilities, an agreement between the Association and the parties requesting service; outlining the responsibilites of each party involved, would be required. Who will ultimatly provide water service when development begins to occur in the Rancho Marana area is somewhat in question at this time with the Town of Marana currently offering to purchase the Association's domestic water systems. There, are also continuing discussions between the Association and Tucson on providing domestic water service. Whoever ultimately provides the service probably makes little difference as to its availability or the terms under which service it provided. The Association does claim the Rancho Marana area as part of its overall water service area at this time and is committed to providing domestic water service as requested to all lands within its boundaries and water service area. since_CAly, Robert con it, Manager Cortaro Water Users' Association • Rancho Marana Specific Plan Revised July 22, 2004 9 Group APPENDIX H: GRC SOILS LETTER GRC Consultants.

B. 4 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: MAYOR AND COUNCIL Kevin Kish, Interim Planning Director Resolution No.2004-138: Relating to subdivisions; approving a Preliminary Block Plat for Vanderbilt Farms DISCUSSION This application is a request for approval of a Preliminary Block Plat containing 13 Blocks within the Rancho Marana Specific Plan. The site is located east of Sandario Road, South of Barnett, west of I- 10 and north of Moore Road. Per the Rancho Marana Specific Plan the land use designations are Medium Density Residential (MDR), Medium High Density Residential (MHDR), High Density Residential (HDR), Commercial- 1 (C- 1), and Employment Center (EC). The proposed Block Plat includes the realignment of Barnett Road and the creation of the Barnett Linear Park and Drainage Channel. The Barnett Linear Park is a proposed open space area located along the existing Barnett Road alignment which will function primarily as a storm water drainage feature, but which will also be utilized as a recreational area incorporating both active and passive uses. Barnett Road will be abandoned as a road and replaced with Clark Farms Boulevard. 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 flow-through to the Barnett Linear Park when the channel 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 to the Santa Cruz River. This project proposes a number of new streets, which are in compliance with the Towns adopted Major Routes Plan. Lon Adams Road will become a through road to Gladden Farms. Postvale Road will be abandoned from Clark Farms Boulevard south to Moore Road. Civic Center Drive will continue from the new Town Hall site south to Clark Farms Boulevard. Two traffic circles are proposed within this Block Plat. Subject to approval by the Town of Marana these traffic circles are proposed to be located at the intersections of Civic Center Drive and Clark Farms Boulevard; and Clark Farms Boulevard and Lon Adams Road. This plat proposes an extensive system of retention/detention basins located within each block, which will also double as passive recreational green belts within the block plat. Trails will be 090804Vanderbilt Farms Preliminary Block Plat 08/20/04 located through them to provide pedestrian access from one block to another and to the Town Center. A Development Agreement has been approved by the Town Council for the Vanderbilt Farms development. In addition to providing a minimum of 23 acres of public park land and trail system acceptable to the Development Services Director and Parks and Recreation Director, the Development Agreement provides that the developer pay $1,000 per lot for a "Park Improvement Contribution". Also, the developer has agreed to pay $1,200 per residential lot for the "School Improvement Contribution". The site is also subject to the Santa Cruz River Levee reimbursement of $500 per acre of affected property. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 2004-138 approving a Preliminary Block Plat for Vanderbilt Farms with the following conditions: Recommended Conditions 1. All CMID issues to be resolved prior to Final Block Plat approval by Town Council. 2. A Water Service Agreement to be executed and approved prior to Final Block Plat approval by Town Council. Potential buyers shall be notified of the existence and potential issues related to the operation of the Marana Regional Airport, located south of the property. The Development Services Administrator, prior to consideration of the Final Block Plat, shall approve the method of notification.
