ADJOURNMENT Marana Study Session 05/09/2017 Page 2 of 14 MARANA AZ ESTABLISHED 1977 Council-Study Session D1 Meeting Date: 05/09/2017 To: Mayor and Council From: Ryan Mahoney, Development Services Director Date: May 9, 2017 Strategic Plan Focus Area: Not Applicable Subject: Relating to Development; preview, discussion and direction regarding The Villages of Tortolita Development, including an overview of the approved development concept and discussion of transportation infrastructure requirements and sequencing (Ryan Mahoney) Discussion: Town staff have been working with the owners of The Villages of Tortolita to refine the requirements for transportation infrastructure and utilities in order to begin building the first phases of residential development. The details of those refinements are part of the discussions for this work session but some background information will be presented to bring everyone up to speed on the details of the original rezoning. The Specific Plan was adopted in April of 2007, and a preliminary block plat for The Villages of Tortolita was submitted in October of 2008. A graphic of the current Land Use Plan and Land Use Summary is attached. The rezoning area encompasses 1,780 acres, located on the east side of Interstate 10 (north of the Marana Interchange), northwest of the San Lucas Development and extending north into Pinal County approximately 2/3 of a mile. The project is a mixed-use development and has a maximum residential unit count of 6,500. The conceptual framework of The Villages of Tortolita calls for four distinct residential villages (Villages I, II, III and IV) and an industrial village (Village V). Each Village consists of different land use designations which determine the allowable uses and intensity of development. The details of each land use designation are as follows: •Medium-Low Density Residential (MLDR), single-family detached with 6,000 square foot minimum lot size. •Medium Density Residential (MDR), single-family detached and attached with a minimum lot size of 3,500 square foot (with a maximum of 800 dwelling units less than 4,000 square Marana Study Session 05/09/2017 Page 3 of 14 feet). •Medium-High Density Residential (MHDR) allows uses under the MDR as well as duplexes, townhomes, condominiums, or apartments. The single-family detached alley loaded, patio homes or court homes have a minimum of 2,500 square foot lot size. The attached product, condos or apartments do not have a minimum lot size. •Mixed Use (MU) allows uses under the MHDR and MDR designation. Uses under the MLDR designation would only be allowed with an approved Conditional Use Permit. MU also allows for a wide variety of commercial uses which include mixed-use dwelling units with upper story residential uses above non-residential uses and live-work units. •Industrial Use (I) allows for industrial, commercial and office uses. However, the Industrial designated area only allows for a maximum of 45% of the allowable floor area to be used for retail commercial purposes. As stated earlier, each village consists of different land use designations which are geographically and functionally subdivided. The details of which are as follows: •Village I - Located at the northernmost tip of the property; primarily earmarked for a combination of Medium-Low Density Residential and Medium Density Residential (439.45 acres). •Village II - Serves as the Village center and is the location that will surround the future Tortolita Traffic Interchange. It allows the most intense land uses which include Mixed Use, Medium-High Density Residential and Medium Density Residential (320.10 acres). •Village III - Located just south of Village II; offers Mixed Use, and Medium-Low to Medium-High Density Residential opportunities (390.97 acres). •Village IV - Southernmost part of the property; designated for Mixed Use, Medium-Low Density Residential and Medium Density Residential usage with supporting Mixed Use (536.75 acres). The open space system of The Villages of Tortolita features an integrated system of trails, walkways and pathways that interlink various neighborhoods to each other, and particularly to the Town Center. Centrally located in Village II is a minimum 20-acre community park equipped with a full range of amenities such as a recreation center, baseball, soccer, softball and multi-purpose fields, basketball, tennis, tot lots, volleyball, picnic and swimming pool facilities. Neighborhood parks within Villages I, III and IV will include both active and passive open space recreational opportunities. Significantly, open space allocation within The Villages of Tortolita exceeds the minimum open space requirement laid out by the Town of Marana. Reference to Town requirements point to minimum on-site open space allotments as follows: Apartments or condominiums - 100 sq. ft. per unit; Town homes or patio homes - 140 sq. ft. per unit; and single-family residential - 185 sq. . per unit. Going beyond these parameters, development within The Villages of Tortolita compare positively as follows: Apartments or condominiums - 150 sq. ft. per unit; Townhomes or patio homes - 150 sq. ft. per unit; and Single-family residential - 200 sq. ft. per unit. Condition 14 of Marana Ordinance 2007.09, which adopted The Villages of Tortolita Specific Marana Study Session 05/09/2017 Page 4 of 14 Plan, requires the developer to design and construct the new Tortolita traffic interchange "prior to occupancy of any house or commercial building." The developer has approached Town staff about whether it might be possible to modify condition 14 by allowing the developer to construct other transportation improvements in exchange for a certain number of units being permitted in the southernmost portion of the property. To that end, Town staff is currently negotiating a proposed development agreement that would allow the construction of a limited number residential units (subject to the available capacity of other required subdivision infrastructure--water, sewer, drainage, etc.), upon the developer's construction of Adonis Road extension as a two-lane strip-paved roadway connecting The Villages of Tortolita and the San Lucas area to Tangerine Road, and also construction of traffic-capacity improvements to the Marana Road/I-10 interchange. The number of new residential units permitted at the Villages of Tortolita will be limited to the traffic capacity of the these transportation infrastructure improvements and the wastewater capacity of the sewer system. Staff Recommendation: Staff is requesting comments, suggestions and recommendations from the Town Council regarding The Villages of Tortolita Specific Plan. Suggested Motion: Council's pleasure.

Portions of this ultimate arterial alignment exist today as the two lane roadways Adonis Road, Postvale Road, and Grier Road. At some point in the future, these roadways will be expanded to four lanes, extended to Tangerine Road, and renamed to carry a single name. The current working name for this expanded and extended arterial is Adonis Road. Prior to the great recession, it was expected that the rapid development in northwest Marana would construct this roadway within a few years. As a result of the lack of development, the San Lucas community has fully developed without a formal secondary access point (informal secondary access is possible through state land to the east and north that ultimately connects to Missile Base Road in Pinal County). In order to address access issues east of I-10, the Town has been working towards a preemptive extension of Adonis Road. An alignment more detailed than the general plan was first created in 2009 and adjusted in 2015 due to the minor general plan amendment that removed the Tangerine Interchange relocation. This detailed alignment was used by the Tortolita Shadows and Mandarina specific plans for their roadway networks. The alignment of Adonis Road extension, as created by Town staff, is set to meet engineering design speed criteria, pass though key inflection points between developments, and provide Marana Study Session 05/09/2017 Page 9 of 14 adequate spacing of future signalized intersections. We have received input from all three of the major developers along the corridor which could lead to significant shifts in the previously set corridor. Tonight's presentation is to discuss and receive council direction on finalizing the alignment of Adonis Road. Three proposed alignments are attached for your consideration. Option 1 is the alignment proposed by the owner of the Mandarina Specific Plan, and is the only alignment that Mandarina's owner will support. About 1.25 miles of Adonis Road will cross Mandarina, give or take depending on which of the three alignments is chosen. Option 1 would move Adonis Road toward the west side of Mandarina, separated from the railroad by a drainageway. Option 1 connects to Tortolita Shadows (north of Mandarina) significantly west of where the Adonis Road alignment is shown on the Tortolita Shadows Specific Plan. The owner-representative of Tortolita Shadows has no objection to the realignment of Adonis Road as shown in Option 1 as long as the Town adopts a corresponding amendment to the Tortolita Shadows Specific Plan. Option 1 connects to Tangerine Road with a roundabout fronting the Mandarina property. Option 2 follows the Adonis Road alignment as shown in the Tortolita Shadows Specific Plan and in the north portion of the Mandarina Specific Plan, and connects to Tangerine Road with a roundabout slightly northeast of the Option 1 roundabout -- in a location fronting both the Mandarina and Tangerine Investment Partners properties. Option 3 uses the same Adonis Road alignment as Option 2 through Tortolita Shadows and the north portion of Mandarina, but then connects to Tangerine Road with a traditional signalized intersection. To accommodate the separation requirement for a signalized intersection, Option 3 connects to Tangerine Road further to the east, on the Tangerine Investment Partners property. Option 3 is favored by the owner-representative of Tangerine Investment Partners, who has expressed a willingness to consider dedicating the necessary Adonis Road right-of-way to the Town at no cost through the Tangerine Investment Partners property if Option 3 is chosen. The owner-representatives of the Tortolita Shadows, Mandarina, and Tangerine Investment Partners properties have been notified of tonight's study session. Town staff recommends that Council give them an opportunity to express their positions on the three alignments if they request the opportunity to do so. Staff Recommendation: Council's pleasure. Suggested Motion: I move to direct Town staff to proceed to pursue the design of Adonis Road utilizing Option Attachments Adonis option 1 Adonis option 2 Marana Study Session 05/09/2017 Page 10 of 14 Adonis option 3 Marana Study Session 05/09/2017 Page 11 of 14 Tam OR�TOLI�TA S�HADOW�S RETENTION 6.0 AC. , , ti � DRAINAGE EAS O.
