Subject: Presentation of the Tangerine Corridor Conceptual Plan Final Report by graduate students in
the School of Landscape Architecture and Planning at the University of Arizona.
Discussion:
This presentation is intended to introduce to the Marana Town Council the Tangerine Corridor
Conceptual Plan. Graduate students; Matthew Stuart, Hillary Turby, Aaron Liggett and Karilyn Roach
from the School of Landscape Architecture and Planning will present the Tangerine Corridor
Conceptual Plan Final Report, a vision for development along Tangerine Road Corridor that embodies
Marana's economic and environmental goals while outlining innovative design concepts for a dynamic,
livable, commercial /industrial district. The students work presented here was performed under the
direction of Marana Planning staff, with Assistant Professor Elizabeth Scott acting as the faculty
advisor.
This project provided students with an opportunity to gain planning experience working to develop
concepts for the Tangerine Road Special Planning Area, an area identified in the 2010 Marana General
Plan as critical to the economic growth of the Town. The Tangerine Corridor Conceptual Final Report
will provide guidance as we explore development opportunities along Tangerine Road.

Subject: Resolution No. 2012 -21: Relating to Intergovernmental Relations; endorsing the
proposed amended Camino de Mariana Annexation to the Mountain Vista Fire District
Discussion:
On March 6, 2012, the Council adopted Resolution No. 2012 -14, endorsing Mountain Vista Fire
District's annexation of a large area of land in the general vicinity of Camino de Mariana.
As a result of intervening annexations by Northwest Fire District, Mountain Vista Fire District
has revised its proposed annexation area and has requested the adoption of an amended resolution
to address the revision. Mountain Vista Fire District's Board of Directors is scheduled to consider
the annexation at its April 3 meeting, so the Council's March 27 study session is the only
opportunity for the Council to consider the district's request.
Attached as Exhibit A to the proposed resolution is the legal description and map of the proposed
annexation area, which now covers an area generally bounded by Desert Falcon Lane on the
north, Camino de Oeste on the east, Palo Fierro Boulevard on the south, and the eastern boundary
of the Cascada development on the west. The same annexation map with the Marana town limits
highlighted is provided as a separate backup material.
This proposed Mountain Vista Fire District annexation area covers the remaining Camino de
Mariana area that is not currently located within a fire district.
Arizona law requires a fire district annexation of land within an incorporated city or town to be
"endorsed" by the city or town with an ordinance or resolution. State law does not define the
word "endorsed." Nevertheless, the Town has always supported having land located within the
town limits in a fire district.

11555 W. CIVIC CENTER DRIVE, MARANA, ARIZONA 85653
Council Chambers, March 27, 2012, 6:00 PM
To: Mayor and Council Item D 3
From: Frank Cassidy, Town Attorney
Strategic Plan Focus Area:
Not Applicable
Subject: Relating to Land Development; Overview of proposed Marana Land Development
Code comprehensive revision process
Discussion:
In 2006, the Town hired the private planning consulting firm Clarion Associates to assist in the
creation of a comprehensive revision to the Marana Land Development Code. As part of its
effort, Clarion representatives interviewed then- sitting members of the Town Council, staff,
Planning Commission members, developers, consultants, and architects who work with the LDC
to gain additional insight about its strengths and weaknesses. As a result of that effort, Clarion
produced a preliminary diagnosis and outline of possible revisions and organizational changes to
the LDC. As a result of staff changes, funding limitations, and the worsening economy, the LDC
revision effort was put on hold.
A Town staff team composed of Planning, Development Engineering, and Legal representatives
is now undertaking an in -house effort to revive the LDC revision. This presentation is intended to
provide an overview of the anticipated revision process and to show Council the work product to
date.
If approved by Council, Town staff intends to follow a two -step LDC revision process. The first
step will codify the LDC as Title 17 of the Town Code. This step will reorganize and renumber
the sections of the LDC, and will simplify some of its language and delete sections that are
redundant to general Town Code provisions. The first step will also add a new chapter to the
LDC containing the League of Arizona Cities and Towns model ordinance to implement the
2011 development impact fee legislation.
Town staff anticipates that this first step will likely take about four months to complete, including
a study session and a public hearing before the Planning Commission, meetings with SAHBA
and various individual developers and stakeholders who commonly work with the LDC.
The second step in the LDC revision process will involve chapter by chapter revision of the LDC.
Most of the substantive revisions to the LDC are anticipated to occur during this second step,
although some may be accomplished in the first step. Town staff anticipates that LDC chapters in
most urgent need of revision will be brought forward for revision first.
Study Session - March 27, 2012 - Page 17 of 25
If approved, this process will allow the LDC to have the look and feel of the rest of the Town
Code within a relatively short period of time, while allowing plenty of time for public and
stakeholder feedback on more substantive revisions.
The current version of the reorganized LDC (first step) will be presented at this meeting. Due to
the size of the document and the fact that it has not yet had Planning Commission review, the
reorganized LDC will be presented in broad -brush terms. The reorganized LDC's table of
contents is included as backup for this item. It shows the titles and order of the chapters in the
reorganized LDC. For comparison purposes, the table of contents of the current LDC is also
provided as backup for this item.
Financial Impact:
None anticipated. This process uses in -house Town staff.

11555 W. CIVIC CENTER DRIVE, MARANA, ARIZONA 85653
Council Chambers, March 27, 2012, 6:00 PM
To: Mayor and Council Item D 5
From: Frank Cassidy, Town Attorney
Strategic Plan Focus Area:
Not Applicable
Subject: Relating to Utilities; discussion and direction concerning the proposed transfer to
Cortaro- Marana Irrigation District of the Town's non - potable water system located
within the geographic boundaries of CMID, and concerning the draft agreement
between and among the Town, CMID, and Cortaro Water Users' Association to
accomplish the proposed transfer
Discussion:
The Cortaro- Marana Irrigation District (CMID) is an irrigation district and political subdivision
of the state of Arizona, covering 19,827 acres of land in and around the Town of Marana (the
"District Area "). Cortaro Water Users Association (CWUA) is the agent for CMID and for the
owners of land located within the District Area. CWUA owns certain water rights associated with
the District Area.
The Town currently owns and operates a non - potable water system in north Marana, most of
which (other than in the San Lucas area) is located within the District Area. At this time,
groundwater is the Town's only readily available source of water to serve its non - potable system.
The Town is obligated to replenish, through groundwater recharge, an amount of water equal to
the groundwater the Town delivers through the non - potable system. This raises the Town's costs,
which are passed along to homeowners' associations and other customers in the non - potable
water rates.
The Town's outside water counsel and CMID /CWUA's attorneys have conferred with staff of the
Arizona Department of Water Resources and have concluded that CMID can serve non - potable
water within the District Area without incurring a replenishment obligation under current
Arizona law, as long as CMID owns and operates the non - potable system.
CMID has expressed a willingness to take ownership and operation of the portion of the Town's
non - potable system located in the District Area as long as the Town continues to require future
development within the District Area to expand the non - potable system and dedicate ownership
of the expansion to CMID, and continues to require all common areas, turf areas, right -of -way
landscaping, and other large landscaped areas located within the District Area to be connected to
the non - potable system. The Town does not anticipate requiring future development to provide
non - potable connections to individual homes.
Study Session - March 27, 2012 - Page 24 of 25
Property owners within the District Area pay a CMID property tax that entitles them to one and a
half acre -feet of irrigation water per year. That fact and the absence of a replenishment obligation
should enable CMID to deliver water to non - potable customers at a significantly lower rate.
This study session is intended to give Town staff the opportunity to explain the benefits of the
proposed transfer of the Town's non - potable system to CMID, and to give Council members the
opportunity to provide feedback on the proposed transfer. If the Council agrees that the non -
potable system transfer should be pursued, Town staff will negotiate the terms of an agreement
with CMID and CWUA, and the agreement will be brought to Council for future consideration
and possible action.
Financial Impact:
The Town Attorney will undertake the primary drafting of the agreement, to minimize
transaction costs. The Town's outside water counsel will be consulted as needed to review the
agreement and negotiate key terms. The Town does not anticipate that attorneys' fees to outside
counsel will exceed $8,000 for this matter.
If the agreement is successfully completed and approved, the Town will lose net revenues from
water deliveries to non - potable connections within the District Area. Gross revenues are currently
around $221,000 per year. The rate structure is intended to make this service cost - neutral.
During the past year, the cost to deliver to the non - potable connections was approximately
$224,000.

Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends that it be authorized to continue negotiating an agreement with CMID for the
transfer of the Town's non - potable system located in the District Area.
Suggested Motion:
I move for Town staff to continue negotiating an agreement with CMID for the transfer of the
Town's non - potable system located within CMID's geographic boundaries.
