MEETING
INFORMATION
TOWN OF MARANA
MEETING DATE: December 5, 2006
AGENDA ITEM: J. 1. a
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Barbara C. Berlin, AICP, Planning Director
AGENDA TITLE: PUBLIC HEARING. Ordinance No. 2006.23: Relating to
Development; approving and authorizing a rezoning of 1227 acres
of land from "F" (Acacia Hills specific plan and Northgate specific
plan) and 227 acres of "C" large lot zone to zone "F," creating the
Cascada specific plan.
DISCUSSION
History
The Cascada Specific Plan would replace the Acacia Hills and Northgate specific plans,
approved in 1988 and 1991, respectively, and rezone 226.76 of"C" property. The Acacia Hills
and Northgate specific plans allow from 7,000 to 10,000 dwelling units for a gross density of
about seven units per acre, while the proposed Cascada plan would allow 3,806 residences for a
gross density of 2.6 units per acre. Accordingly, this Council action represents a voluntary
down-zoning of the property.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on this proposal on February 6,2006 and
unanimously recommended approval with conditions. Since that recommendation, the applicant
and the Town have negotiated a development agreement that addresses many ofthose conditions.
Also, the applicant has since sold approximately 22 acres of land to the Barclay Group, which
has incorporated that land into their application for the Marana Spectrum Specific Plan, now in
reVIew.
The applicant has made several adjustments to the land use proposal in the specific plan since
February. I;irst, as a result of a request by the Pima County Administrator, the applicant has
designated a 14.8-acre parcel at the northeast comer of the property as Natural Undisturbed Open
Space instead of Medium Density Residential. That parcel will become part of an open space
corridor. Second, properties sold to the Barclay Group included land designated as an
Employment Center. In removing those parcels, the developer changed a High Density
Residential parcel to Employment Center, and incorporated high density residential into the
allowed uses for Employment Center. Allowing the residential use where previously excluded
would permit 300 additional units, an increase of 8.5%, over the February version of the plan,
but remains significantly lower that the existing entitlement. Finally, the Marana Unified School
District rejected an offer for a set-aside of a 12-acre school site. The Cascada plan would allow
schools

as a permitted use throughout the project area, but no longer identifies a specific site. Should
MUSD reconsider, there would be no need to amend the plan.
Location
The project is located generally northeast ofthe new Twin Peaks/Linda Vista Interchange, and is
bounded on the north by State Trust property, on the east by the Marana corporate limits, on the
south by Camino de Manana and Linda Vista Boulevard, and on the west by the Union Pacific
Railroad tracks.
Land Use
Cascada's mix and range of land uses allow for the development of a live-work community and
provide a range of housing opportunities. A 470-acre block at the northern end of the project
provides one-acre home sites surrounded by natural open space. This area lies north of the
Lambert Lane alignment and is somewhat isolated from the remainder ofthe project.
A key feature of the project is a 30-acre village center. The village center proposes a pedestrian
scaled mixed commercial neighborhood that includes high density housing in live-work units,
apartments, and small-lot single family units. It includes public spaces, gathering places, and
courtyards surrounding neighborhood retail, offices, entertainment, and other uses and activities
customary in a small downtown.
Another important feature is that each development block is to contain a mix of lot sizes and
housing types. Each block has an assigned maximum number of units, which determines the
overall density. However, the unit cap ensures that the block cannot be built out with only one
lot size. The project as a whole could achieve a maximum of 3,806 dwelling units; this is roughly
halfthe units that the entitled Acacia Hills and Northgate specific plans allow. Within each block
the developer intends to plat and build on a range of lot sizes. High density neighborhoods
border the village center on the west and southwest, ending at Camino de Manana. Medium
density blocks border the higher density blocks. This category includes the Oasis Hills
subdivision, which was originally part of the Acacia Hills specific plan. An employment center
lies on both sides of Camino de Manana, taking advantage of the new Linda Vista/I-I 0
interchange. The Employment Center may include offices, research and development and other
light industrial uses, hotels/motels, regional commercial uses; and medium to high density
residential. It excludes manufacturing and warehousing. The plan envisions medium high
residential neighborhoods east of the village center and west and north of the high density
blocks.
Transportation Plan
Regional access to Cascada will be from 1-10 at the new Twin Peaks/Linda Vista interchange.
Cascada can be reached from the east by Linda Vista Boulevard and Camino de Manana. The
plan restricts internal circulation to a north-south spine road that is an extension of Linda Vista
and local streets connecting to the spine road. The spine road is interrupted by the village center,
but continues as a one-way loop around it. Local streets with a reduced pavement width will be
-2-
private, while public streets will meet the Town standard. The developer will construct all
streets within the project.
The major washes that transect the project area pose challenges that the plan proposes to meet
through a system of trails. There will be pedestrian access across the major washes, and multi-
use trails parallel to the washes.
The development agreement for this project requires the applicant to dedicate all rights-of-way
needed for any portion of the adjacent regional roadways. The D.A. allows the applicant to
construct portions of the Twin Peaks/Linda Vista transportation improvements (TI) to the extent
they are necessary for the Cascada project so long as the applicant begins not later than eight
months before and finishes not later than the date of the anticipated start of construction of the
TI.
As currently in effect, the Marana South Transportation Development Impact Fee does not
include right-of-way acquisition, so the developer cannot receive credit for the property
dedicated for the TI. Accordingly, the Town will collect this impact fee.
Open Space, Parks, and Recreation
The plan differentiates between open space that provides environmental protection and active
recreation areas. The active areas include 59 acres to be designed and operated as a public
regional park. Cascada's design team will work with the Marana Parks and Recreation staff to
plan this park.
Neighborhood parks will serve as the organizing principal for the higher density residential
blocks surrounding the village center. Similar to Verrado, a master-planned community in
Buckeye, houses will face these internal parks. Subdivision plans will include specific
neighborhood park plans.
Seven wash corridors transect the project site; these are to remain open with minimal
disturbance. A 404 permit, for which the developer has applied to the US Army Corps of
Engineers, may regulate whether and how these washes may be disturbed. A 404 permit is
pending; however, with the recent Supreme Court Rapanos decision, the role of the Federal
government with respect to enforcement of the Clean Water Act remains uncertain. The specific
plan requires grade control structures to maintain the natural or design channel grade. The plan
depicts drainage way trails along the sides of these washes. Regardless of whether or not a 404
permit is issued, the specific plan requires protection of the wash corridors and incorporates them
into the project design.
The plan identifies 235 acres ofNUOS on three parcels; parcels 6 and 33 also serve as mitigation
land for the Hartman Vistas development. Their inclusion in the Cascada plan as designated open
space help ensure that they will, in fact, remain open space. Parcel 5, designated as low density
residential, contains 360 acres of natural open space. This open space will allow disturbance
only for roadways and building pads; each lot will include open space to remain undisturbed.
-3-
Cascada obtained a Biological Opinion from US Department of Fish and Wildlife that provides a
management plan for wildlife mitigation within the open space. The mitigation plan also limits
the number of horses that can use the internal trails at anyone time.
Sewer and Water
Cascada will connect to the Dove Mountain off-site sewer, which runs along the west and
southwestern boundaries, to provide gravity sewer service for a portion of the project. The
developer is negotiating an additional outfall sewer line with Pima County Department of
Wastewater Management. The low density residential area will use individual septic systems.
The developer has entered into an agreement with the Marana water department and has already
built a well with a 12-inch supply line along Linda Vista Boulevard to a 500,000 gallon booster
station. Per that agreement, when the first 80 dwelling units of the plan are completed, the
developer must supply an additional 500,000 gallon reservoir at the booster station and return
16-foot water line down Linda Vista. When 350 units have been built the agreement requires
another well on site.
Portions of the project area lie within regulated floodplain and will be subject to the Town's
floodplain code. Each subdivision plat will require a detailed drainage report before any site
disturbance may commence.
Cultural Resource
The site has had a 100% survey for archeological resources, summarized in the specific plan
document. Areas that require additional surveys or data recovery must be addressed before
subdivision plats affecting those areas can be approved.
Cascada contains an in-use cemetery of the Pascua Yaqui nation. Through consultations with
tribal members, the developer agreed to preserve a 50-foot wide buffer around the cemetery and
construct a fence.
Schools
The developer has as recently as last month met with representatives of Marana Unified School
District (MUSD) regarding a possible school site; the district rejected the offer of a school site.
Instead, there will be a voluntary contribution of $ 1200/dwelling unit.
The land use designations allow for community facilities; in the event that the district revises its
position, there will remain opportunities for schools within Cascada.
Development and Design Standards
The Cascada specific plan proposes development and design standards that fully realize the
intent of the specific plan process with respect to urban design. Rather than focusing on lot size
per se, the plan proposes to use density caps for each development block, along with
-4-
architectural guidelines to achieve a true mix of housing types and sizes within neighborhoods.
The plan establishes a base size for single family detached housing of 3500 square feet (except
for the LDR area, with a one-acre minimum lot size) , consistent with Marana's residential
design standards. Each residential block, or parcel, will have a maximum density and a
maximum lot yield. Residential developments seldom achieve the maxim"!lm lot yield. The
proposed densities range from one unit/acre for the LDR; five units/acre for MDR- medium
density residential; seven units/acre for MHDR-medium high density; 10 units/acre in HDR; 15
units/acre within the employment center; and 20 units/acre within the village center.
The plan requests other modifications from the Town's standards, including: increased height
(28'in LDR and MDR; and 30-40' in other districts); increased lot coverage (65%); and reduced
setbacks. It also requests the flexibility of no minimum lot dimensions, relying instead on
density caps and setback requirements.
Cascada proposes its own set of residential design guidelines. These guidelines are written in a
much different format than the Town's with the design review committee having significant
authority. The design guidelines address platting, including requirements to mix lot sizes and
building types, as well as architectural features of individual buildings. The developer has
invited the Town to appoint a representative to the Cascada design review committee as a
standing member.
Benefit Fee Area
As noted above, residential construction within the Cascada Specific Plan will be subject to the
South Marana Transportation Impact Fee. It is also subject to the Town-wide Park Development
Impact Fee. Per the development agreement, the project will be credited against impact fees for
all land dedicated for public parks or public access trails, and all costs incurred in the
construction or improvement of the regional park or public access trails. Park and trail design
and construction must meet with the approval of the Town.
Public Comments
Prior to the writing of the staff report for the public hearing in February staff received no
comments on the proposed rezoning. Immediately prior to the hearing the Town received a
letter from the Coalition for Protection of the Sonoran Desert regarding their desire for protection
of a 14.8-acre parcel, which has since been removed from development and designated NUOS.
During the public hearing a representative of the Lee family interest spoke regarding access to
their property off Linda Vista. The property has since been purchased by the Barclay Group and
included in the proposed Marana Spectrum specific plan.
The Town has also received correspondence from the Pima County Regional Flood Control
District (February 9), the Deputy County Administrator (October 4), and the County
Administrator (October 24) on both the specific plan and the development agreement expressing
concern about drainage for the property. Staffs position has been and remains that the Town
has sufficient authority to address drainage and flood control during the platting process.
Further, staff believe that the incorporation and protection of natural open space and drainage
corridors provide a far better land use plan that do the existing entitlements.
