SPECIFIC PLAN SUMMARY The Ca1Mat Specific Plan establishes comprehensive guidance and regulations for the development of approximately 494 acres in Marana, Arizona. The Specific Plan will carry out the land use plan by establishing regulations which will replace the current property zoning. This Specific Plan is regulatory, adopted by ordinance and will be consistent with the Town of Marana's General Plan. The Specific Plan as allowed by the State of Arizona will establish the development regulations for the implementation of the approved land use plan. These regulations will replace current property zoning. I-1 II. INTRODUCTION A. Purpose ... The purpose of the Specific Plan is to allow CalMat to proceed with resource extraction of the site and the development of the property. The principle goal is to insure that the optimal resource extraction process will occur while providing the phasing, support and framework for development over time. The CalMat Specific Plan is composed of the general type, location and character of land uses in three phases;. an initial phase which addresses predominantly resource extraction and screening; a transitional phase which addresses interim uses combined with continued resource ex- traction; and an ultimate development phase which addresses ' land uses and overall community character. The Plan focuses on providing a sensitive integration of resource extraction, environmental control and reclamation, with the inclusion of appropriate land uses and amenities. The plan establishes development guidelines for the Town of Marana, to assure the Town and individual developers that the completed development will be as envisioned at the time of approval. B. Authority and Scope The CalMat Specific Plan is a regulatory plan which will serve as the zoning ordinance for the property. Proposed development plans, tentative tract or parcel maps and other development approval must be consistent with this specific plan ordinance. Projects consistent with this Specific Plan will be automatically deemed consistent with the General Plan. C. Location The CalMat property lies within the Town of Marana in Pima County, Arizona. The approximately 494 acres (VII- Appendix A. Legal Description) sit in a unique location relative to the rapid north-westerly growth occurring in the Tucson Metropolitan area. The property is located to the west of Interstate 10, which is the primary transportation corridor between Tucson and Phoenix. A major interchange with Tangerine Road is at the northern boundary. The Santa Cruz River is located on the boundary and provides an expansive buffer Central Arizona Project runs underground through the site. southwestern of open space.

DEVELOPMENT PLAN A. Introduction The development concept provides the framework for the logical phased use of the site. The plan identifies type, location and inter -relationships of land uses identified in three phases: initial, transitional and ultimate. The initial phase is composed of resource extraction, concrete manufactured related products and plant site/storage. Minor uses will include light industrial, industrial, agriculture and open space/site buffers. The transitional phase is composed of resource extraction and development. Predominant land uses will include extraction, light industrial, industrial, business park, office/commercial and construction support zones. The ultimate phase is composed of development which includes office/commercial, light industrial, industrial, business park, concrete manufactured related products, plant site/storage facility and open space/buffers. B. Land Use The following land uses are permissible within the plan area: o Resource Extraction o Agriculture o Construction Support Zone o Concrete Manufactured Related Products o Plant Site/Storage o Light Industrial o Industrial o Business Park o Office/Commercial o Open space/Buffer This development concept will provide excellent opportunities for the Town of Marana in the form of revenue generation, a supply of aggregate, commercial, business and industrial facilities and a community gateway at Tangerine Road. The development commitment will be ongoing and consistent with the economic development of the area. The issues, goals and objectives of the site components have been identified and discussed to aid in the understanding of the development concept. C. Land Use Definitions The permitted land uses are defined as follows: Resource •Extraction: This land use is intended for active resource extraction (rock, sand and gravel) which will occur to varying depths across the site. This use will occur during the initial and transitional phases of the development plan. Agriculture: This land use is intended as a holding zone. Construction Support Zone: This land use is intended for construction storage yards for contractors. Types of materials to be stored shall include piping, steel fabricated beams, lumber, bricks, and similar construction materials. This zone shall be included during all three phases of the plan. Concrete Manufactured Related Products:- This land use is intended to include approximately 15 acres of concrete related product manufacturing, as well as storage area for such products. This land use will occur during all three phases of the development plan. Plant Site/Storage: This land use is intended to include a required 40 acre parcel to provide support and processing for the resource extraction operations. The plant site uses will include processing, storage, stockpiling, ready mix concrete, asphalt production and overburden. This land use will occur during all three phases of the development plan. Light Industrial: This land use is intended to accommodate industries involved in research and development, testing activities, development labor- atories, light manufacturing and complementary uses such as administrative and accessory facilities nec- essary to serve employees. Parcels within this land use type will be of varying sizes to accommodate both single and multi -tenant users. This land use will occur during all phases of the development plan. Industrial: This land use is intended to accommodate industries involved in manufacturing, distribution, warehousing, research/development laboratories and complementary uses such as administrative, and ac- cessory facilities necessary to serve employees. This land use will occur during all phases of the develop- ment plan. III -2 J Business Park: This land use is intended to accommodate a wide range of contemporary industrial/ commercial businesses including high performance manufacturing and assembly, offices, mixed-use business, multi -tenant offices, laboratory, research and development facilities and supporting services such as financial and professional offices and restaurants. Office/Commercial: This land use is intended to accommodate the development of professional and administrative offices that compliment the commercial core. Principal uses include but are not limited to: professional, financial and business offices, specialized service commercial uses, hotel/ motel, restaurants, retail and commercial recreation. This use will occur during the transitional and ultimate phases of the development plan. Open space/Buffer: This land use area is intended for development of a broad range of uses relating to site amenities. The buffer system is intended to serve dual purposes, to screen the extraction areas and provide transitional areas between land uses. These land uses will occur during all three phases of the plan. D. Development Plan Concept: Issues, Goals and Objectives The issues, goals and objectives of the elements of the development plan have been addressed. They are as follows: 1. OPERATIONS Issue: How to complete natural resource extraction while providing for present and future development potential? Goal: To provide a compatible extraction program which addresses development potential and environmental controls. Objectives: Concept: o to establish a mining and reclamation plan which achieves the ultimate development plan, o to establish a development plan which is responsive to realistic resource extraction operations, o to provide adequate programs for: - dust control/wind erosion - screening/buffering - water quality - soil erosion - noise/vibration abatement, o to provide a low cost construction aggregate source to facilitate development of the area. o The operations element allows for sequential resource extraction and replacement to provide developable land, reclamation and drainage facility improvements. 2. DEVELOPMENT PHASING Issue: How can phased development respond to operations? Goal: To provide a land use mix which responds to a phased operation sequence.

LANDSCAPE Issues: How to utilize functional landscapes to screen and buffer? Goal: To provide a comprehensive landscape program which will complement the extraction and reclamation program and provide the framework for the land- scape character of the final development. Objectives: o to identify typical vegetation and landscape materials appropriate for the reclamation program: - plant materials - soil erosion control - screening/buffering - wind control - soil stabilization - visual orientation, o to identify typical vegetation and landscape materials appropriate for the development program: - plant materials - water conservation - height variations - aesthetics - site statements - visual orientation, III -24 Concept: o to establish community character through the use of landscaping, o to utilize landforms as delineators between land uses, as_ buffers * and as visual directors, o to establish a hierarchy of development zones through the use of plant materials, such as primary and secondary entry nodes and street- scapes, o to provide a variety of landscape arch- itectural approaches permitting continuity and coordination of landscape, signage, street furniture, lighting and architectural elements. o The landscape element shall unify and set the character for the site. It shall provide the primary function of buffering and screening the resource extraction process during the first two phases of the plan. As development progresses, the landscape will provide a community character and emphasize the hierarchy of development zones.

More definitive assurances of what will be used for back- fill material in the areas to be reclaimed. To allow.for a variety of uses within open space areas such as active and passive recreation, trails, detention/retention, flood control and groundwater recharge. 3. Explain the timing or plan of extraction in relation to flood protection or pre -flood protection. OFFICES IN NEWPORT BEACH, CA, PHOENIX, AZ and TUCSON, AZ • PLANNING & RESEARCH • ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES • URBAN DESIGN • LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE • Response: The owners shall meet the current grading and ordinance requirements for type of backfill permissible and compaction required to meeting building code classifications. Comment: In certain cases construction rubble may be permissible for certified backfill, upon approval of appropriate town authorities. Typical ranges for compaction of similar fills in nearby metropolitan areas are 90-95 percent density, using both native materials and inert construction debris, with no particles greater than 12 Inches in diameter within ten feet of final grade. 2. More definitive set of allowable uses for the open space depressions. Response: See pages III -17 of the Specific Plan - Open Space/Buffer. . To allow.for a variety of uses within open space areas such as active and passive recreation, trails, detention/retention, flood control and groundwater recharge. 3. Explain the timing or plan of extraction in relation to flood protection or pre -flood protection. OFFICES IN NEWPORT BEACH, CA, PHOENIX, AZ and TUCSON, AZ • PLANNING & RESEARCH • ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES • URBAN DESIGN • LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE • Response: If there is a technically feasible method of constructing a processing plant and beginning resource extraction on a limited portion of the property, which would meet the town of Marana and Pima County Flood Plan Ordinances, then Ca1Mat would have an interest in proceeding with some portion of the industrial development. It would be up to Ca1Mat to prove ordinance compliance prior to the issuance of building permits. Comment: It may be permissible, or in some cases desireable, i.e., channel cleanout, to begin a portion of the resource extraction prior to construction of a levy along the north bank of the Santa Cruz River. The technical merits of such a venture would need to be justified prior to being allowed to proceed. 4. Tie activation of ultimate "zoning" to some event or time table. Response: When the resource extraction process has been completed and the final tests have been made on the reclaimed parcels, the designated land use shall be required pending a notification (submittal) letter to the Planning and Zoning Commission stipulating the parcel is ready for site planning. 5. During the resource extraction operations: that the parcels 1 being "mined" be small (20 acres or smaller). That stockpiles be placed within depressions or below grade; that hours of operations be set. Response: Topsoil removal in advance of sand and gravel extraction shall be limited to 20 acres, but no more ' than 40 acres. It is not economically feasible to place process material stockpiles below grade. Comment: Typical processing plant equipment layouts provide for conveyor tunnels below processed stockpiles. In order to lower the maximum height of stockpiles significantly, tunnels would have to be placed a greater distance below existing grade, which would not be economically justifiable. The tallest material stockpile is typically the "surge stockpile", or raw material feed, while other finished stockpiles are normally much smaller. i� CalMat intends to operate a normal one -shift plant operation with second -shift maintenance. If periodic increased in product demand require two production shifts, then maintenance would occur during a third shift. It would be preferable that any abnormal hour operation be discussed as much in advance with town officials as possible, and mitigation measures worked out in a cooperative effort, given the circumstances of that time. Comment: High summertime temperatures sometimes require that ready -mix concrete be delivered in the early morning hours to meet temperature specifications for its placement. Other jobs, such as highway resurfacing of major transportation routes, sometimes requires that work be performed when there is little public use. 6. Define where residential, commercial and industrial will occur. Response: Attached, please find changes made on Exhibits III -8 Land Use Plan, Transitional Phase - 2 and I_II-9: Land Use Plan, Ultimate Phase - 3. 7. To commit to adhere to Long Range Transportation Plans both locally (M.S.P. property) and State (Tangerine Road ultimate alignment). Response: The circulation plan/land use plans are in conformance with the Town of Marana's General Plan (pending adoption). We are currently meeting with Parsons , Brinckerhoff to discuss the ultimate alignment for Tangerine Road. 8. Indicate how this property ties into surrounding property uses. Response: The land use plans are in conformance with the Town of Marana General Plan (pending adoption). We have currently. met with a representative from M.S.P. and hope to continue our efforts with the surrounding property owners to discuss development plans, land uses, circulation and setbacks. Attached, please find changes made on Exhibits III -8 and III -9 identifying a 200' Business Park setback along with a SO' landscaped buffer. Also see Illustrative plans. 9. Indicate where and commit to participate in the Linear Park system for the Santa Cruz. Response: The Santa Cruz River serves as a natural open space corridor (amenity) along the southern perimeter of the proposed development plans. This edge (between the development and the river) shall be reserved for a SO' wide linear park (Pima County Regional Trail System and The Town of Marana Trail System), containing a regional trail system. The trail shall be designed for pedestrian, bicycle and equestrian use. Attached please find changes made to Exhibits III -26 identifying location of linear park. Also see illustrative plans. 10. Indicate preliminary and ultimate environmental impacts of plant site and industrial uses. Response: Plant site and extraction operations fall under the regulation of: a. Marana Town Council b. Marana Floodplain Administration c. Pima County Flood Control District d. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) e. Mine Safety Health Administration (MSHA) f. Arizona State Mine Inspector g. Pima County Air Quality Control District/Pima County Health Department h. State Department of Health Services/Department of Environmental Quality i. Arizona Department of Transportation I believe these comments address the specific concerns addressed in Mr. Ray Teran's letter, along with similar concerns voiced at our last Planning and Zoning Commission hearing.

W M E M O R A N D U M To: Mayor and Councilmember: Fns: Planning Commission Sub: Cal Mat Specific Plan RecVmmendation Attached are minutes which indicate our formal action on the Cal - Mat Specific Plan. Additionally, we feel the Plan meets the policies and intent of the Town General Plan. If Cal Mat adheres to the Flan submitted, their development stiould prove very beneficial to the Town in two ways. First, the will create some employment of their own, but their operation will create employment regionally due to the "construction source of supply" will be local versus imported. Second, the developers in Town will have a local source of material therefore reducing the cost of housing by a factor of savings in transportation.
