rezone three parcels, approximately 10 acres in total area, located on the
west side of Tortolita Road and north of Moore Road within Section 26,
Township 11 South, Range 12 East. The request is for a change in zoning
from "C" (Large Lot Zone, 25 acre minimum lot size) to "MU -1" (Mixed
Use). The requested zoning district is commensurate with the existing
development on the three parcels. (Joel Shapiro)
Mr. DeGrood presented this item to the public and the Council. He said
that the property, annexed into the Town in 1990 with a translational
zoning designation of "C" (large lot), had been used for several commercial
enterprises over the years. He commented that the property owners, Ted
and Cathy Widger, had donated one acre to the Northwest Fire District and
that property was currently the site of a Northwest Fire Station. He added
that, in 2001, the Widgers divided their remaining nine acre parcel to create
a vacant 4 -acre parcel which was sold to Northwest Holdings for
development of a commercial self- storage facility. He reported that the
Town was initiating this rezoning to bring the property into current,
contemporary zoning. He said that Mixed Use zone with conditions was
the most appropriate designation for this property.

conditions including that no further land division occur without approval
from the Town, that there would be only one use per parcel, and that
certain uses would be prohibited altogether.

FROM: Leslie Liberti, Environmental Coordinator
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2003 -146: Authorizing the execution of Amendment No 2 to the
Interagency Agreement between Arizona Game and Fish Commission and The
Town of Marana, and declaring an emergency.
DISCUSSION:
In January 2003, the Town and the Game and Fish Department entered into an
Intergovernmental Agreement concerning the Town's Conservation Planning Process.
This Agreement provided the mechanism for Game and Fish to disperse to the Town the
grant monies ($207,000) received from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as part of their
Habitat Conservation Planning grant program. This agreement also outlined the Town's
commitments with respect to the Conservation Planning process, including one year of
cactus ferruginous pygmy -owl surveys.
In March 2003, this Agreement was amended (Amendment No. 1) to authorize the first
year of pygmy -owl surveys. These surveys have been completed and a final report is due
from the Game and Fish Department in December 2003.
The Town also applied for a second year of Habitat Conservation Planning grant funding.
The Town's grant request was approved in July 2003 and the Town was awarded an
additional $134,990 in matching grant funds. Included in this second application was a
proposal for a second year of pygmy -owl surveys.
This Amendment (No. 2) authorizes a second year of pygmy -owl surveys as specified in
the Town's Second Habitat Conservation Planning Grant Request Proposal.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve Resolution No. 2003 -146, authorizing the execution of the attached
Amendment No. 2 to the Interagency Agreement between Arizona Game and
Fish Commission and The Town of Marana.

Cactus Ferruginous Pygmy -owl surveys within the planning area
associated with the Town of Marana HCP - 2004
Prepared by:
Michael F. Ingraldi, Ph.D.

Introduction
The Town of Marana is currently in the process of developing a Habitat Conservation
Plan (HCP) for the Township and surrounding area. The endangered cactus ferruginous
pygmy -owl (hereafter pygmy -owl) is one of the species dictating the scope of the HCP.
The pygmy -owl nests within areas of Sonoran desertscrub upland habitat recently
designated as potential critical habitat by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. There are
concerns regarding the possible impact of human development on pygmy -owl persistence
within these areas. This project proposes to provide useful information about the
numbers and distribution of pygmy -owls within the proposed HCP area. Information
from this project can be used to track population distribution, trends and aid in the
restoration of the species. The objective of this study is to locate pygmy -owls within the
proposed HCP planning area in Pima and Pinal Counties, Arizona.
Approach _
The study area will consist of all lands within and adjacent (within 20 km) to the
proposed critical habitat and recovery units that intersect the HCP planning boundaries.
We will exclude all areas that will be surveyed by others (e.g., Clearance surveys
conducted by Biological Consultants) so not to duplicate efforts and all large areas that
are deemed non - nesting habitat (e.g., agricultural fields). We will conduct a preliminary
reconnaissance of the study area in January. Surveys to detect pygmy -owl presence will
be conducted by AGFD biologists during February, March, April and May of 2004. We
will use the January 2000 revised formal survey protocol developed by the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service and Arizona Game and Fish Department. As prescribed, we will
concentrate our survey efforts during pygmy -owl high activity periods; one hour before
sunrise until two hours after sunrise and one hour before sunset until one hour after
sunset. A survey will consist of broadcasting male pygmy -owl territorial calls and
listening for a vocal response or watching for a behavioral response. Taped calls will be
broadcasted using a Johnny Stewart Game Caller (Model MS 512, Johnny Stewart,
Waco, Texas) or a tape player (Optimus, Model CTR -105, Radio Shack) with power-
horn (Radio Shack).
We will survey approximately 2500 ha (6,200 acres) of potential nesting habitat within
the study area (i.e. the HCP Planning and adjacent area). Our first priority in survey
effort will be those areas designated as Proposed Critical Habitat Units, followed by those
areas designated as Recovery Units by the USFWS that are within the study area. We
will stratify survey routes across the study area, with at least one survey route (10 call
points) per legal Section (2.6 km These survey routes will generally follow washes and
smaller drainages that contain saguaros with cavities (nesting substrate) as well as
patches of large trees. Majority of the surveys will be concentrated west of Interstate 10.
We will attempt to trap all pygmy -owls encountered in an effort to determine if the bird is
part of a breeding pair. All captured owls will be marked with USFWS bands and a
unique aluminum - anodized, alpha - numeric, colored leg band. Standard morphometric
measurements (e.g., weight, wing chord, etc.) will be collected. Feathers will also be
collected, catalogued, and stored for sex identification. We will attach a backpack style,
1.85 g radio transmitter (Holohil Systems, Ltd., Ontario, Canada) to any adult pygmy -owl
encountered in order to determine its nesting location and status.
Deliverables will include a final report, as well as all data sheets and topographic maps
showing pygmy -owl calling stations within the project area

Wr
DATE: November 18, 2003
AGENDA ITEM: IX. A. 4
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Jane Howell, Human Resources Director
SUBJECT: Resolution 2003 -149 Revision o f P ersonnel P olicy 4 -12, L eave D ovation, t o p ermit v acation
and/or sick leave donation to an employee whose immediate family member has a catastrophic
illness or injury.
DISCUSSION:
Personnel Policy 4 -12 provides co- workers with the ability to support an employee who becomes
unable to work due to a non - work - related catastrophic personal illness or injury and has exhausted all
available paid leave (vacation, sick and compensatory) by donating vacation or sick leave. Currently,
the policy does not allow employees to donate to an employee whose immediate family member
(parent, spouse or child) has a catastrophic illness or injury.
There i s no consistency regarding leave donations among the jurisdictions contacted by staff. Oro
Valley allows vacation and sick leave donations to employees on Family and Medical Leave for
medical extenuating circumstances, whether work- related or not. Tucson limits donations of vacation
only to employees only. Pima County limits donations of sick leave only to employees only. -
Attached is a revision of the Town's policy. The revision allows co- workers to donate time to the
employee who must care for the family member. It also quantifies the amount of time to coincide
with Family and Medical Leave, which is 12 weeks, unless the Town Manager makes an exception.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends a revision of the policy to allow leave donation to an employee who must care for a
catastrophically ill or injured immediate family member.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
I move to approve Resolution 2003 -149.

A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN OF MARANA, ARIZONA, AMENDING THE TOWN
OF MARANA REVISED PERSONNEL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES BY REVISING
POLICY 4 -12, LEAVE DONATION.
WHEREAS, the current policy concerning recipients of co- worker leave donations
for catastrophic illness or injury is restricted to employees only; and
WHEREAS, the Human Resources Department has conducted a study that found a
change to provide leave donations to assist an employee whose immediate family member
suffers a catastrophic illness or injury would promote a spirit of mutual support among
employees; and
WHEREAS, the Mayor and Council find that a change of policy to allow leave
donations to an employee whose immediate family member suffers a catastrophic illness or
injury would be in the best interest of the Town of Marana and its employees.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Mayor and Council of the Town of
Marana, Arizona, that Policy 4 -12 of the Town of Marana Revised Personnel Policies and
Procedures is hereby amended to allow leave donations to an employee whose immediate
family member suffers a catastrophic illness or injury.

FROM: Jane Howell, Human Resources Director
SUBJECT: Discussion a nd D irection R equest f or a uthorization t o h ire a 1 egal s ecretary to support the
Town Attorney.
DISCUSSION:
The following position was not included in the recently approved budget but is requested as an out -of-
cycle allocation.
In August, Mayor and Council approved the addition of an in -house attorney for the purpose of
providing legal support to all departments. The case load has grown much faster than originally
envisioned. As a consequence, the attorney, Frank Cassidy, is in need of secretarial support.
Attached is a job description and recommended salary range.
Estimated fiscal impact of the request is:
Legal Secretary: $28,360 + $8,508 benefits + $500 Miscellaneous = $37,368
A workstation is available, so there will not be the entire cost of furniture and equipment.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends authorization to hire a legal secretary with an estimated fiscal impact of $37,368.

excessive noise or traffic, drinking in public, serving alcohol to minors and or the consumption
of alcohol by minors, fighting, disturbing the peace, obstruction of public streets by crowds or
vehicles, and littering. Such unruly residential activities may be abated by reasonable means,
including citations or arrests of violators under applicable ordinances or state statutes.
Premises identified as having unruly residential activities are posted with an easily identifiable
notice placing the owner, occupant, tenant, and anyone else entering the property on notice that
unruly activity has taken place at the premises and that any other unruly activity within 120
days after posting of the notice shall result in mandatory civil fines of not less than $500 for a
first violation, $1,000 for a second violation, and $1,500 for third and subsequent violations.
Removing or defacing the notice is subject to a civil penalty of not less than $100.
The Marana Police Department is given authority to initiate enforcement of this ordinance
when a member of the public makes a complaint. The complainant is not required to appear in
court before a violator may be penalized under the ordinance.

INTRODUCTION
With the recent adoption and ratification of the Marana General Plan Update, the Town
~ of Marana has demonstrated its commitment to guide future growth and development and
to "grow smarter" in more cost - effective and environmentally sensitive ways. While
_ Town leaders are preparing for the construction of a new municipal complex, they are
also looking at Marana's past and rich cultural heritage.
The Marana Heritage Park is being considered as one way to tell the story of Marana's
past, and to celebrate, honor, and interpret the community's history and culture.
In addition to a heritage museum and outdoor exhibit areas, Town leaders have initially
identified a variety of users, including the Marana Arts Council and the Chamber of
Commerce. The agricultural heritage theme is supported by existing on -site and adjacent
rural landscape features, such as cotton fields, irrigation ditches, farm buildings, silos,
and farm equipment. New heritage park features may include interactive exhibits,
farmers market, an agri-pond, relocated or reconstructed historic buildings, and other
amenities intended for recreational and educational use by the people of the town and
visitors.
The site that is proposed for the new Marana Heritage Park was chosen for several
reasons. It is easily accessible now from Tangerine Road via Sandario Road, and will
benefit from future transportation improvements that will increase its physical and visual
accessibility. It is primarily undeveloped, and includes disturbed areas that can be
reclaimed and restored for water resources, recreation, and other uses. The site includes
and is adjacent to productive farmland, an important element of Marana's recent history.
The site will soon be adjacent to the new residential and commercial development of
Gladden Farms and this new neighborhood will provide patrons for the cultural,
educational, and recreational amenities proposed for the heritage park. The subject site is
- close to the Santa Cruz River and the river park trail, assuring that on -site recreation will
be integrated with the regional trails system. Finally, the site is available for Town
acquisition.
Pur o
The preliminary concept plan was prepared for the Town of Marana by Aspen Consulting
Engineers and Encore Planning Group to:
• assess the suitability of the project site for heritage park development
• begin programmatic planning for the heritage park
• integrate program elements with a preliminary concept plan
This study is intended to be a starting point for the heritage park master planning process.
Although limited in scope to a cursory site analysis and preliminary planning and
conceptual design, the study will identify key issues and opportunities and suggest future
actions. Based on this initial professional assessment, the Town will be able to gather
l
public support and participation, and proceed through subsequent phases of a full master
- planning process.
The results of Phase One will provide the Town of Marana with a professional
assessment of the suitability of the subject site for the Marana Heritage Park. The
conceptual site plan will illustrate (in diagrammatic form) the variety of park
programmatic elements and facilities. The brief project report (and brochure) will
describe the program elements and proposed tenants in the context of Marana's
community vision and General Plan.
Meth odolog y
In order to develop a preliminary concept plan for a heritage park, the study focused on
existing and future site conditions and issues that were deemed most relevant for initial
assessment and design. The consultant team relied on the invaluable input of Town
elected officials and staff to help inform and define the vision, program, and concept
design.
Data Collection and Review
The study considered a number of factors as part of data collection and review, including
physical site characteristics, such as topography and hydrology, land use, zoning,
transportation, recreation, and cultural resources. The methods for addressing these and
other factors were limited to collection and evaluation of available data, cursory site
analysis, and consultation with Town staff and key community leaders. This section of
the report concludes with a checklist of site opportunities.

The study approach for programmatic planning is built on the Town's adopted plans,
policies, and community vision; discussions with key Town staff and elected officials;
and a review of comparable heritage .park facilities. This section of the report includes a
proposed mission statement, vision, and key objectives, and concludes with
recommendations on proposed park tenants, target users, and possible program
components.
Concept Plan
The process of preliminary site planning and design was integrated with programmatic
planning for proposed uses, buildings, recreation areas and other facilities. There were
several design sessions involving all consultant team members and a formal review
session of the draft concept plan by Marana Town staff and key community stakeholders.
Following the review session, a final concept plan was prepared and incorporated in the
final Phase One report and draft brochure. It was understood by the Town and the
consultant team that as the first -phase study evolves into a more comprehensive planning
2
and design process for the Town, in -depth engineering and master planning, as well as
public participation and review, would be required.
DATA COLLECTION D RENJEW
Site Location
The subject site is approximately 91 acres and is located just north of the Santa Cruz
River, in portions of Sections 33 and 34, T11SRI IE. (See Exhibit 1: Location Map).
The site straddles Sandario Road and this road currently provides access to the site from
the north. The closest major east -west roads are Tangerine and Moore Roads. Interstate
10 (I -10) is approximately two miles to the east. As seen in the context of Marana'. s
future town limits, the site is conveniently located to future development that will occur
between the Santa Cruz River and I -10. The site is relatively close to existing schools
and the future Town municipal complex, and is strategically located adjacent to an area
planned for residential growth. (See Exhibit 2: Ultimate Limits).
Existin Land Use and Zonin
The western 25.5 acres of the site has an existing structure (farm house), stable/barn, and
ramada. The balance of the site is under cultivation. The eastern portion of the site has
been heavily disturbed from prior farming, road access, and construction activities related
to the Santa Cruz River levee. The Honea Heights subdivision is located to the northwest
of the site. Other than this residential enclave, the site is surrounded by farmland.
_ The site and much of the surrounding area is currently Marana Zone A- -Small Lot Zone.
(See Exhibit 3 and Exhibit 4 for zoning and subdivision mapped data). This zone allows
a variety of residential, commercial, industrial, and quasi- public land uses so long as each
such land use is conducted on a lot no larger than 2.5 acres. Although the Town of
Marana may be zoning exempt, and therefore would not be subject to this lot size
restriction, it would be advisable for the Town to initiate a public notice process of a
significant land use change. Based on the results of this notice process and public
support for the heritage park public use, a change to a zoning district more conducive to
the intended public recreational and open space use may not be required.
Pl
The Future Development Plan in the 2002 Update of the Marana General Plan designates
the project site for Recreation/Open Space. The areas immediately adjacent to the site on
the north are planned for Medium Density Residential. The Gladden Farms subdivision
has received preliminary approval from the Town consistent with this General Plan
designation. (See Exhibit 5: Future Development Plan).
Site photographs are included following Exhibit 6.

Currently, the site is accessed from the north by Sandario Road but this condition is
subject to change as the Gladden Farms project is developed. With approval of the
subdivision plat, Sandario Road will be abandoned and an extension of Tangerine Road
(Tangerine Farms Road) will loop through the southern portion of the subdivision. A
smaller collector loop road that would directly access the subject property is also
proposed. Although the timing and the road cross - sections have yet to be determined,
once these improvements are made, they will clearly benefit the subject site by providing
more direct access from the east via Tangerine Road. (See Exhibit 6. Circulation/2 025
Transportation Forecast from the Marana General Plan).
All utilities (including sewer) will be available to the site by the time of heritage park
development. Currently, there is a well on -site capable of irrigation. The timing for
utilities, like the timing for the road improvements, is dependent on the Gladden Farms
development. Prior to build out of the Gladden Farms development, if the site and
existing farm house are used by the Town for an interim use, such as for the Marana Arts
Council, current utilities on -site (water, septic, electric) are available and will suffice.

Environmental Overview
The western 25.5 -acre parcel includes a farm house, stable, and accessory structures, but
this parcel is primarily under cultivation. In addition to the fields, there are several pecan
trees near the farm house. The portion of the site east of Sandario Road is highly
disturbed. There are isolated salt cedar on this portion of the subject property, but most
of the property is denuded. The other significant physical features are man-made: flood
control improvements (the levee and outflow channel) and the existing silos.
Although the site may have limited natural resources on the ground, its proximity to the
Santa Cruz River, and its visual resources are remarkable. Because of its location in the
largely agricultural landscape of low - growing crops, there are unobstructed mountain
views to the north, east and west, and views to the south of the broad valley of the Santa
Cruz River. Based on planned land use and approved or pending subdivisions, this
situation will change, as residential development (and commercial uses directly to the
east) will replace cropland. However, with customary setbacks and height restrictions,
the proposed heritage park site should still retain distant mountain views to the northeast.
A planned Non - Potable Detention and Agricultural Storage Basin (NPD & ASB) that will
cover approximately 8 to 10 acres in the southern portion of the site, west of the silos,
will create a natural buffer and transition to the Santa Cruz River. Further discussion of
the NPD & ASB is included later in this report.

Hydrology
_ The consultant conducted a cursory assessment of the drainage conditions on and
surrounding the site. A summary of findings indicates:
t
a < e site falls entirely within the floodway as defined by FIRM panels 04019CO980 -K
d 04019CO990 -K dated February 8, 1999. Pima County has submitted a request for a
Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) with the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) to remove the area from the AE Zone based on the construction of the Santa
Cruz River Levee. FEMA has expressed concern that the elevation of the levee may be
too low in several areas. Pima County has agreed to make the elevation changes to bring
the levee to FEMA standards (Marana Town Staff).
Stormwater naturally flows from the southeast to the northwest through the site. The
Gladden Farms Master Drainage Report has identified the 100 -year flows as 185 cfs at
the Tangerine Wash outfall structure and 54 cfs leaving the project area to the northwest
(WLB GROUP, January 2001). The site was previously a farm and as such there are no
section 404 jurisdiction waters onsite.
Future development is dependent on FEMA approval of the LOMR. In addition, adjacent
and on -site development must maintain a corridor to the Tangerine Wash Outfall
Structure capable of conveying the 100 -year Tangerine Wash flows plus the local runoff.
The Tres Rios Del Norte study is currently being conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers and may provide an opportunity for revegetation of this area
The planned non - potable water reservoir and detention basin must be sized to
accommodate the additional stormwater runoff from the site downstream of the
Tangerine Wash Outfall Structure. Accommodations must be made in the site plan to
convey flows that exceed the pond design capacity safely to the Santa Cruz River.
Exhibit 7 illustrates the existing drainage pattern at the proposed project site and the
proposed contours for the Gladden Farms subdivision.

Currently there are no parks in the immediate vicinity of the project area. However, a
park site is included in the Gladden Farms subdivision, and a levee trail is proposed along
the southern boundary of the Heritage Park site. Once completed, the levee trail will be
the continuation of the Santa Cruz River linear park, as well as the Juan Bautista de Anza.
National Historic Trail. These trails, and trail linkages between the river park and the
Central Arizona Project (CAP) trail in the vicinity of the Heritage Park, are shown on
Exhibit 8 (General Plan Exhibit 9: Park, Trail and Open Space System).

Native American Heritage
Marana has a rich and varied history that began long before the arrival of Spanish
conquistadors and missionaries. Prior to European settlement, and introduced ranching
and farming, the Marana area was inhabited by native peoples of the Americas.
Archaeological evidence indicates that there were scattered settlements during early and
middle archaic periods (10,000 to 3,500 years ago) and early agriculture (domestication
of maize, settlement in villages, experimenting with water control) more than 2,000 years
ago.
The chronicle of Marana's past is summarized in a very readable publication entitled The
Cultures and History of Marana, Arizona, prepared by Old Pueblo Archaeology Center
(Eric J. Kaldahl and Allen Dart). This publication describes Marana's past as a
continuum of multi - cultural influences and events, and views heritage resources as part of
America's cultural fabric that can be cherished and valued by everyone.
Cultural resources and early settlements are described in the Marana General Plan. The
following excerpt suggests the importance of interpreting and celebrating pre - contact
cultures in the proposed heritage park.
The extensive agriculture of the Classic phase of Hohokam settlement included
irrigation canals. A network of canals has been traced in the floodplain east of the
Santa Cruz. There is evidence throughout the Marana area of agave plant
cultivation, used by the Hohokam to produce fibers for cordage, sandals and
textiles as well as a sweet, high -calorie food from the roasted agave heart. The
Classic phase settlements expand the area of Hohokam settlement into the middle
elevations of the bajada between the Santa Cruz River and the Tortolitas. The
- pre- Classic ballcourts appear to have gone out of use but a large mound center
(the Marana Mounds) was established near the present Town Hall.
At the end of the Classic phase (circa A.D. 1350) evidence of human habitation in
the Marana area disappears. Because of this apparent abandonment, the Marana
community sites are ideal places to study the Classic phase Hohokam, as there are
no traces in the overburden of later settlements to hide the history.
Native American settlement is an important element of Marana's current cultural
diversity. The Marana General Plan provides a short history of the settlement of Pascua
Yaqui on a 4 %2 -acre site known as Yoem Pueblo, located at the intersection of Sandario
Road and Barnett Road. The following excerpt provides a starting point for incorporating
this cultural tradition into the future Marana heritage park.
... According to the 2000 census, approximately 39 tribal recognized Yaqui live
in this area of the Town. Before 1980, Pascua Yaqui in Marana made up a cluster
18
of about 20 homes that was known simply as "Yaqui Camp." It had been a place
of settlement for Yaqui people who were fleeing deportation and death in their
native lands in Mexico. Attacked and hounded by troops of Mexico's Federal
Government, the people headed 300 miles north to Arizona Territory to safety.
The camp in Marana was one of 15 that existed in southern Arizona in the early
1900s for the Yaqui people.
Today things have changed. In 1980 with a grant from the U.S. Government, the
- people purchased from the Cortaro Marana Irrigation District the 4.2 acres of land
that they had been living on since the early 1900s. A sewage system, paved
streets and a change of name soon followed. At a community meeting the name
Yoem Pueblo (The People's Village) was adopted. On the Feast of San Juan
Bautista in 1987, a new church built by the residents of the Yoem Pueblo was
dedicated. Today the Church is backed by three huge crosses and opens out onto
the Santo Tevat (holy patio). Yaqui festivities are held on a regular basis at the
church in the center of the neighborhood. New development proposed in or near
this area will be reviewed with input from the Pascua Yaqui Tribe to assure that
there are no negative impacts on the Yoem Pueblo.
.... The Yoeme (Yaqui) are extremely proud of their language and culture, oral
traditions, music, dance, and song. Since time began, for the Yoeme people the
Yoem Lutu'uria, the Yoeme Truth, has guided the Yoeme people spiritually,
mentally, and physically into respecting all life on earth. The Yoeme stories,
sayings and ceremonial songs deal specifically with understanding and respecting
the huya ania. This traditional knowledge is also called Wa Yo'ora Lutu'uria, the
Elders' "Truth ". This "Truth" is to help all people to live in the right way on this
earth.
Although the Yoeme people still retain much of this rich traditional knowledge,
there are problems in the communities. Some of the plants that are talked and
sung about are disappearing from their desert environment. Another problem that
the Yoeme face is the transmission of traditional knowledge between family
generations. In Arizona many young Yoeme people do not speak the Yoeme
language anymore, so this makes it more difficult to learn about the Yoeme
"Truth ".
Based on this brief overview of pre - historic and historic Native American cultural
resources, it is clear that a future heritage park offers opportunities for multi- cultural
interpretation. During the past several years Marana's civic leaders have demonstrated
support for protection of cultural resources through policy and actions to preserve
archaeological sites and develop park components that incorporate interpretation of
excavated Hohokam sites. The current preliminary phase of master planning for the
Marana Heritage Park is another indication of the Town's commitment to understand,
interpret, and celebrate its past. As the master planning process for the heritage park
continues beyond this preliminary phase, more in -depth heritage research, and other on-
19
going work by archaeologists and historians, will need to be incorporated into the full
park program
Spanish Contact
Early Spanish accounts of the Marana area reported the existence of villages of Sobaipuri
people, who spoke a dialect of the O'odham language different from the Tohono
O'odham, near the confluence of the Santa Cruz River and the Rillitto River. With
declining native populations due to the spread of European diseases, settlements in the
Marana area dwindled during the 1700s and 1800s. Spanish settlement was primarily
south of Marana, with presidios and missions at Tucson, Tubac, and Tumacacori.
However, the Santa Cruz River corridor remained important to the Spanish military, and
sites in present day Marana have been documented as expedition encampments. The
most important expedition was the 1775 -76 Juan Bautista de Anza expedition from
Sonora, Mexico to San Francisco. This journey of settlement to California is
commemorated by the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail, which will be
implemented by the Town of Marana as part of the Santa Cruz Linear Park (shown in
Exhibit 7).
20 th Century Farming History and Historic Structures
As chronicled in the Old Pueblo Archaeology Center publication, Marana's farming
history in the early 20 century was tied to development of large -scale groundwater
irrigation, and the increased market demand for cotton during and after World War I. By
1920, however, cotton prices had fallen and farmers turned to dry farmed grain crops and
grew beans, alfalfa, lettuce, wheat, barley, potatoes, and oats as well as cotton on
irrigated land. By 1940, with farm consolidations, cotton returned as the most valuable
staple crop in the Santa Cruz River basin. Two of the most important buildings from this
era remain in "Old Marana" just south of the I -10 Marana Road interchange. Because of
their location and current condition, these buildings --the Producers Cotton Oil Company
office and a nearby storage building- -may not be able to be preserved on -site. However,
the Town intends to fully document these structures and reconstruct them at the heritage
park site. In addition, the reconstruction of all or a portion of the old Marana High
School, a building that was demolished at the time of the construction of I -10, is being
considered by the Town.

Cultural Landscape Features
Another element of cultural resources is the landscape itself. Whether we define the
cultural landscape broadly as "nearly everything that we can see when we go outdoors,"
(Lewis, 1975) or more selectively as a landscape with "special cultural values," (Melnick,
1984), the Marana heritage park site shows a continuum of agricultural use that describes
the social and cultural history of the place and its people. Generally, cultural landscapes,
as distinct from natural landscapes (or wilderness) clearly show the mark of human
manipulation and use.
The research and writing on cultural landscapes emphasizes the value of preserving and
celebrating these landscapes as a "mirror" to our collective past. One of the principal
authors on the subject of rural cultural landscapes, Robert Melnick, describes the
importance of the cultural landscape in the following passage:
They [cultural landscapes] are areas of farming, mining, ranching, and fishing
activity which have been settled, used, altered, and changed for many years, and
through many generations. Often, but not always, the processes of landscape
control have been passed from parent to child and then to grandchild. These
processes, be they fence building, seed planting, cattle grazing or boat building,
have been consistently altered and changed over time. What is most important to
23
these landscapes, however, is the continuity of use, both in terms of human input
and type of use. From another perspective, we must recognize that these
landscapes represent the real, physical, tangible legacy of one generation passed
down to another generation. Therefore, they are significant reminders of the past.
They are reflections of the common, everyday history of the country (Lowenthal,
1978). As is the case with historic structures, not every cultural landscape is
equally significant, or even of equal importance to a local area or cultural group.
The concept of the cultural landscape, however, places greater emphasis on
everyday places than on monuments, and stresses greater interest in common
people than in local or national "heroes." (MeIruck, 1983).
Marana's heritage is reflected, in part, in the pattern of settlement and use of the
landscape over a long time, beginning in pre - contact times and culminating in the recent
agricultural landscape of cotton, grain, and alfalfa fields. Features of this rural cultural
landscape include farm structures, trees and other plants (such as the pecan trees near the
farm house), grain silos, fences, field patterns, irrigation ditches and related water
delivery equipment, and farm implements. These are all elements that support an
"agricultural theme" and they will need to be evaluated and interpreted in later phases of
the master planning process for the heritage park.
Other Relevant Planning Projects
The Tres Rios del Norte Study is an important planning project that is relevant to our
subject site. The Tres Rios del Norte study is being conducted by the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers, in cooperation with Pima County Flood Control District, the Town of
Marana, and the City of Tucson Water Department, to identify and define problems
related to environmental degradation, flooding and land and water resources along a 18-
mile stretch of the Santa Cruz River. The heritage park subject site lies within the
northern-most reach of the Tres Rio study area.
Although the Tres Rios del Norte project focuses on environmental restoration, the
project also supports water resource management objectives, such as storm water
harvesting and groundwater recharge, and recreation, trails, and open space. (See Exhibit
9: Tres Rios del Norte, Potential Projects, Section Six). Since there are many cultural
resource sites along the Santa Cruz River in the Tres Rios study area, cultural resources
- must be considered in the planning process for this project.
As the Tres Rios del Norte project moves forward in the feasibility study and
implementation phases, there may be opportunities for integrating heritage park
objectives, particularly for water recharge, revegetation, and trails with Tres Rios
restoration program elements.

SUMMA OF OPPORTUNITIES
Data collection for phase one of the master plan has focused on selected site
characteristics and issues that are relevant to an assessment of the subject property's
potential for use as a heritage or cultural park. Although this is a cursory site analysis, a
review of site characteristics suggests that the site provides many opportunities for the
intended use.
OE
• Location: The site proposed for the Marana Heritage Park is in a convenient and
accessible location. It is close enough to I -10 and the Tangerine Road exit to be
convenient as a heritage tourism destination for out -of -town visitors. As new
residential subdivisions are constructed in the immediate vicinity, and
infrastructure improvements are made, the heritage park site will be a convenient
local and neighborhood destination as well. Its location north of the Santa Cruz
River provides opportunities for connections to river park trails and other
recreation.
• Size and Physical Characteristics: The site is physically suitable for the variety of
uses and users discussed thus far. The existing farmhouse can be an interim home
for the Marana Arts Council. The horse barn stalls will be used by the Marana
Police Equine Patrol. The existing fields can be retained to support the
agricultural heritage theme, and there will be ample space for outdoor exhibits,
farmers markets, and cultural, arts, and entertainment uses. The proposed agri-
pond, Gladden Farms park site, and river park linear park can be easily integrated
with the heritage park facility.
• Environmental: The site appears to have low habitat value and no significant
environmental resources, although further site - specific assessment will be
required. Based on the Tres Rios del Norte study, there are opportunities for
habitat restoration that would involve substantial federal cost - sharing. The low
flow channel may offer an appropriate site for riparian restoration, while upland
areas could be revegetated for habitat value and to support recreational or other
park amenities.
• Utilities: Utilities are available for the immediate, short-term intended uses, and
sewer will be available with the Gladden Farms development.
• Cultural Resources: Much of the site has been disturbed by farming activities, or
in constructing the Santa Cruz River levee. If further archaeological surveys are
required, survey work could add to the cost of heritage park development.
However, if significant resources are documented or excavated, there may be
opportunities for interpretive exhibits on -site, as part of the heritage theme. In
this way, the landscape and its evolution can be part of the park program. Based
26
on the earlier discussion of cultural landscape features and the "agricultural
theme," the site offers an opportunity to interpret existing features (silos, field
patterns, farm implements) as well as to develop an innovative program for
evoking and celebrating Marana's past. This program could include a full range
of interactive exhibits, building reconstructions, and "living museum" experiences
that would reflect the area's multi- cultural heritage.
• Phasing: Development of the site can be phased to respond to the immediate
needs for a home for the Marana Arts Council and reconstructed Producers Cotton
Oil Company building, as well as long -term improvements that will coincide with
(and be supported by) adjacent development opportunities (Gladden Farms).
DEVELOPMENT OF THE HERITAGE PARK PROGRAM
This section of the Phase One Report summarizes the heritage park mission, vision,
objectives, and program. Later phases in the master planning process will further expand
upon this overall conceptual framework. It is important to emphasize at this point that
the vision and preliminary program planning for the heritage park is built on the Town's
General Plan and policies, community vision, and heritage park objectives as described
by the Town's elected officials, community leaders, and staff
M 161.3 [111M
The Town of Marana embraces the challenges and opportunities of the future while
celebrating and honoring the achievements of the past. The Town's mission with regard
to heritage and cultural resources is to preserve and appreciate the cultures and history of
the Marana area. The more specific mission of the Marana Heritage Park is to showcase
the contributions of the many peoples and cultures in the Marana area, particularly as
shown in the evolution of the rural landscape though living history, interactive exhibits,
and special educational, arts, and recreational events. Where feasible, environmental
restoration and revegetation will be integrated with the cultural heritage program and
related recreational amenities.
L1 t-3 ON
The Marana Heritage Park supports the General Plan themes of Community Values,
Orderly Growth, and Economic Opportunity. Marana's commitment to future growth
and prosperity goes hand in hand with an appreciation of its agricultural heritage and
small town roots.
The Marana Heritage Park will provide an opportunity for the public to gain a better
understanding and appreciation of the community's cultures and history. Located along
the Santa Cruz River, the park will highlight the role of agriculture in the and southwest
from prehistory through modern fanning and agri- business. Residents and visitors alike
will be able to explore the evolution of the rural landscape through an imaginative blend
of educational programs, arts events, interactive exhibits, living history, performances
27
and recreation. Creative partnerships will be forged and business opportunities will be
pursued in an effort to create a sustainable and self- sufficient heritage center.
IOBJECTIVES
1. To enhance public awareness and understanding of the history and cultural
diversity of the Marana area, thereby strengthening the community's sense of
place and shared heritage.
2. To create a heritage park that celebrates and honors the achievements of the early
settlers of the area, including native peoples who farmed along the Santa Cruz
River, Spanish and Mexican ranchers, and early farmers in the post - American
period.
3. To showcase the evolution of the rural landscape and rural and agricultural
lifestyles by maintaining and developing a collection of agricultural artifacts,
archives, programs, interactive exhibits, living history, performances and
recreation, and historic buildings and exhibits to professional standards for a
living history museum.
4. To provide a home for the Marana Arts Council, and a venue for community arts
festivals and other art- related activities, thereby supporting local artists and
contemporary art.
5. To integrate active and passive recreation areas with the heritage and arts themes
in a multi- purpose park complex.
6. To create a unique destination that is economically viable and operated and
managed on a financially sustainable basis.
7. To market the facility successfully through broad community support and by
creating a strong customer orientation in all facets of the operation.
8.. To develop partnerships, sponsorships and a dynamic volunteer program that will
enhance the attraction and strengthen the financial viability of the heritage park.
PROGRATA/I OVERVIEW
Based on initial discussions with Town staff and stakeholders, proposed program
elements and key tenants may include:
• Heritage Museum, possibly housed in the reconstructed Cotton Producers
Building
• Offices and exhibit space for the Marana Arts Council
• Special art exhibits, events and attractions, including "art in the park"
• Community life exhibits and possible facility and space for the Chamber of
Commerce, Heritage Society, and Marana Mounted Patrol
• Agricultural exhibits, agricultural crop plots, ethnobotanical garden, and farmers
market
• Water resource exhibits, integrated with the Non - Potable Detention and
Agricultural Storage Basin, and related environmental and habitat restoration
• Wildlife viewing areas
28
• Other passive recreation areas, including picnic areas, group gathering areas, and
open space, with connections to the Gladden Farms park and regional trail system
• Active recreation areas for sports fields
• Equestrian facilities, with a staging area to the Santa Cruz River trail
• A collection of antique farm equipment, heritage buildings and rural life artifacts
• Historical interpretation by costumed staff
• Education programs for school children
• Group tours
• Rental facilities for weddings, trade shows, business meetings, parties and
celebrations
PHASE ONE CONCEPT PLAN
The heritage park concept plan was the result of integrating proposed program elements,
users, and tenants with the opportunities and constraints presented by the site. The
concept plan developed as part of Phase One identifies key program elements and shows
the general location of activity zones.
A �.
As shown in the above schematic on activity zones, there are six major activity zones
planned for the Heritage Park.
1. Heritage - orange
2. Arts/Entertainment - red
3. Agriculture - green
4. Recreation (Passive and Active) - purple
5. Equestrian - beige
6. Habitat Restoration — dark green
29
These zones could include a variety of specific uses and activities such as:
Heritage Activity Zone Passive Recreation Zone:
• Local Historical Exhibits • Low -key Arts/Entertainment
• Heritage Museum Building • Open Fields — Kite Flying,
• Group Meeting Area Frisbee...
• Interpretive/Educational • Memorial Garden
Activities • Nature Study/Interpretive Area
• Wildlife Viewing
Arts/Entertainment Activity Zone . Horseshoes
• Arts Council Facility
• Sculpture Gardens Active Recreation Zone
• Music in the Park, Arts, Crafts • Train and Rides
Fairs • Playground
• Events Area (Weddings in the • Water Play Area with Splash Pad
Park, etc.) • Dog Park
• Group Ramadas and Picnic Areas
Agricultural Activity Zone
• Farmers Market/Community Habitat Restoration Activity Zone
Garden • Revegetation (incoordination
• Antique — Modern Farm with Tres Rios del Norte Study)
Implements • Low -flow Channel
• Interactive Activities . Adjacent Wildlife Viewing
• Ethnobotanical Exhibits
Equestrian Activity Zone
• Stable, Corral, Pens
• Rentals
• Show Arena
Exhibit 10: Marana Heritage Park Concept Plan shows a more detailed illustration of
these activity zones, including vehicular and pedestrian circulation, parking, specific uses
and park tenants.
The concept and site planning process included several design sessions involving all
consultant team members, as well as review sessions of the draft concept plan by Marana
Town staff and key community stakeholders. Following the review session with
stakeholders, a final concept plan and informational and marketing brochure were
prepared. It was understood by the Town and the consultant team that as the Phase One
study evolves into a more comprehensive planning and design process for the Town, in-
depth engineering and master planning, as well as public participation and review, will be
required.
30
FUTURE STEPS
Following the completion of preliminary Phase One planning, future actions as part of a
comprehensive master planning process could be phased as follows:
Phase Two—Public Review and Continent
This phase will include public and elected official review (and authorization to proceed),
concept plan revisions, assessment of costs based on revised - program elements, and
potential funding sources.
Phase Three—Alaster Plan
This phase will further refine the Marana Heritage Park program, facilities, and services
and will include the full architectural program and cost estimates. A site plan at a
detailed site - specific (development plan) scale will clearly illustrate all park features.
