Date:December 19, 2017
Strategic Plan Focus Area:
Not Applicable
Subject:Ordinance No. 2017.028 : Relating to Development; extending the time for submitting
waivers under Marana Ordinance No. 2017.023, which adopted amendments to The
Villages of Tortolita Specific Plan and authorized the Mayor to sign The Villages of
Tortolita Development Agreement; and establishing an effective date (Frank Cassidy)
Discussion:
Ordinance No. 2017.023, adopted on November 7, 2017, amended the adopting ordinance for The
Villages of Tortolita Specific Plan and approved The Villages of Tortolita Development
Agreement. Ordinance 2017.023 requires each of the Property Owners other than the developer
(TMR) to execute Prop 207 waivers, and provides for reversion of key elements of Ordinance No.
2017.023 if the signed waivers are not delivered to the Town Clerk by January 6.
TMR has encountered unanticipated obstacles and difficulties obtaining the Prop 207 waivers,
including dealing with an entity whose principals have died. As a result, TMR has asked for an
extension of time for returning the waivers. Extending the time doesn't substantially affect the
Town’s rights, obligations, or liabilities.
To assure that sufficient time is given for obtaining the waivers, Town staff is suggesting a new
return date of April 4, 2018. This puts the date on a Wednesday following a regular Council
meeting date, in case further Council action is needed before the new waiver submission deadline.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends adoption of Ordinance No. 2017.028, extending the time for submitting
waivers under Marana Ordinance No. 2017.023.

Subject:Resolution No. 2017-110: Relating to Public Works; approving and authorizing the
Mayor to execute a public improvement participation agreement for the construction of
the Patel driveway apron as part of the Cracker Barrel Roadway Restoration Project
(Frank Cassidy)
Discussion:
The Town has been in communication with Babubhai G. Patel & Gomatiben B. Patel (the
"Patels"), who own property along the under-construction Cracker Barrel Road project, about
having the Town's contractor, Granite Construction, build a driveway apron for the Patel property
as part of the Cracker Barrel Road project. The Town has a standard form of agreement known as
a public improvement participation agreement (PIPA), to accommodate this sort of
arrangement. Using a PIPA allows an adjacent property owner to get the benefit of using an
already-mobilized contractor, and ensures the Town that nearby construction done by some other
contractor does not interfere with the Town's construction project.
In this case, Granite has provided an estimate of $7,700 for the construction of the Patel driveway
apron, and the Patels have prepaid the $7,700 to the Town. The Patels are responsible for any cost
overruns for the driveway apron.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 2017-110, approving and authorizing the Mayor to
execute a public improvement participation agreement for the construction of the Patel driveway
apron as part of the Cracker Barrel Roadway Restoration Project.

This Public Improvement Participation Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and
entered into by and between BABUBHAI G. PATEL & GOMATIBEN B. PATEL (the “Patels”), husband

need a driveway apron (the “Patel Driveway Apron”).
D. Construction of the Road Project is currently underway.

of the Patel Driveway Apron. A true and correct copy of Granite’s proposal is attached to and

Subject:Resolution No. 2017-112: Relating to Real Estate; approving and authorizing the
Mayor to sign the Purchase Agreement with Metropolitan Domestic Water
Improvement District for the sale of certain Town property rights in the vicinity of the
Marana Regional Airport (Frank Cassidy)
Discussion:
By the adoption of Resolution No. 2017-033 on April 18, 2017, the Town Council approved and
authorized the signing of an IGA with Metropolitan Domestic Water Improvement District (Metro
Water) and the Town of Oro Valley for the Northwest Recharge, Recovery, and Delivery System
(NWRRDS) -- a water infrastructure project that will allow each participating entity to convey its
recovered water from recharge facilities near the Marana Regional Airport to each water
company's service area. The NWRRDS will allow Marana Water to deliver its recovered water to
the Twin Peaks area east of Interstate 10, and will allow Oro Valley Water and Metro Water to
deliver their recovered water to their respective service areas further to the east. Metro Water is
the lead agency for the NWRRDS.
Metro Water is in the process of acquiring a wellsite on State Land east of the Marana Regional
Airport, to construct a recovery well for Metro Water's recharged water resources in the vicinity.
Metro Water needs to acquire property rights for the installation of a pipeline and access road
across the Town's airport property, to convey water from the new recovery well to the western
terminus (starting point) of the NWRRDS pipeline.
Metro Water representatives have negotiated with Town staff to acquire the needed property
rights for the pipeline and access road. Metro Water is acquiring fee title to a 55-foot strip of land
along the east and southeast edge of the airport property. To avoid traffic conflicts at the currentMarana Regular Council Meeting 12/19/2017 Page 258 of 483
along the east and southeast edge of the airport property. To avoid traffic conflicts at the current
airport access road's intersection with Avra Valley Road, the Metro Water access road will cut
over to the airport access road about 195 feet north of the Avra Valley Road right-of-way line.
Metro Water will relocate the airport security fence to the west and northwest edge of the 55-foot
acquisition area, putting the Metro Water pipeline and access road outside the airport perimeter
fence. In addition, Metro Water will move the airport access road gate about 100 feet north of its
existing location, putting the intersection of the airport access road and Metro Water's access road
outside the gate. This will allow Metro Water personnel to access Metro Water's pipeline and
recharge well without crossing into the Town's gated and fenced airport security area.
Copies of the proposed purchase agreement, warranty deed (for the 55-foot strip), and access
easement (for the cutover to the airport access road) are included in the agenda materials, along
with a worksheet breaking down the compensation.
Financial Impact:
If the purchase agreement is approved, Metro Water will pay the Town $28,400 for the property
rights being acquired, and will pay all associated closing costs. As explained above, Metro Water
will also pay for the relocation of the airport perimeter fencing and gate.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 2017-112, approving and authorizing the Mayor to
sign the Purchase Agreement with Metropolitan Domestic Water Improvement District for the
sale of certain property rights at the Marana Airport.
Suggested Motion:
I move to adopt Resolution No. 2017-112, approving and authorizing the Mayor to sign the
Purchase Agreement with Metropolitan Domestic Water Improvement District for the sale of
certain property rights at the Marana Airport.

Council-Regular Meeting C5
Meeting Date:12/19/2017
To:Mayor and Council
From:Lisa Shafer, Community Development Director
Date:December 19, 2017
Strategic Plan Focus Area:
Not Applicable
Subject:Resolution No. 2017-113: Relating to the Police Department; approving and
authorizing the Interim Town Manager to execute a Subgrantee Agreement with the
Arizona Department of Homeland Security for purposes of receiving funds under the
2017 Operation Stonegarden Grant Program (Lisa Shafer)
Discussion:
The Town of Marana has been selected to participate in Operation Stonegarden activities in
southern Arizona. Operation Stonegarden is a federally funded program originating with the 2006
Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror and
Hurricane Recovery. Funding was renewed for the current fiscal year, providing the Town of
Marana an opportunity to participate and receive funding for the ninth straight year. The program
provides states the flexibility to use Department of Homeland Security grant funding to enhance
coordination among state and federal law enforcement agencies at and near the U.S./Mexico
border. The program requires states to identify and prioritize solutions to their border security
needs and provides funding to state and local agencies to implement the state’s individual goals
and objectives.
For 2017-2018, the Town was awarded $165,000 under a subgrantee agreement with the Arizona
Department of Homeland Security to support Operation Stonegarden. Funding will be used to
augment and support Border Patrol coverage of egress from the border areas with state, local and
tribal police agencies. Through participation in this operation, Marana will use its authority to
control the routes and reduce the propensity for cross-border crime in the area. Patrols will
concentrate on the 109 miles of arterial roadways serving as regional east-west connectors
between State Route 77 and I-10 and the more than 57 miles of rural, mostly two-lane roads
paralleling I-10 to the west.
The Marana Police Department's primary goals are to: (1) reduce crime in border communities to
improve the quality of life; (2) deter illegal entries through teamwork with other local and federal
Marana Regular Council Meeting 12/19/2017 Page 287 of 483
agencies; (3) assist in apprehending terrorists and terrorist weapons illegally entering the United
States; and (4) coordinate operations with the Pima County Sheriff’s Department and U.S. Border
Patrol (USBP) Tucson Sector. Marana, in cooperation with the Pima County Sheriff and U.S.
Border Patrol, will deploy officers along prime roadways prone to invoke illegal activity and
national security concerns.
Because Marana sits 60 miles from the Mexican Border and hosts segments of rural
transportation routes traditionally used to smuggle undocumented workers and drugs up from
Mexico, three specific areas will be targeted for Stonegarden activities:
Area one: Sandario Rd from Emigh Rd to Avra Valley Rd
Area two: Avra Valley from the Silverbell Mines to I-10
Area three: Silverbell Rd/Twin Peaks Rd Corridor
Area four: I-10 from Twin Peaks Rd to the Pinal County line
Area five: Discretionary area with Marana PD sworn supervisor approval to provide flexibility to
the Chief of Patrol, USBP
To support this initiative Marana will deploy uniformed officers, a canine officer, and a supervisor
with supporting staffing from dispatch. These deployments will be conducted in coordination
with partnering agencies. Deployment dates will coincide with Operation COBIJA, Operation
Knight Hunter, “surge” dates identified by HIDTA, United States Border Patrol, ICE, and
internal/external intelligence information and trends. If contact and/or interaction are made with
certain “persons of interest,” notification will be made to the Office of Customs and Border
Protection, U.S. Border Patrol or the appropriate agency. Deployments will be based on specific
threats which can be targeted and countered and shifts in illegal traffic patterns due to increased
enforcement actions.
These activities will be coordinated through the USBP. Marana will identify these shift times and
locations and address them accordingly. As an active participant in regional planning, emergency
operations, and homeland security initiatives, the Marana Police Department has been impacted
by increased contacts with illegal entrants and human and narcotics smugglers migrating through
the community as focused enforcement has caused a deviated travel pattern from the US Mexican
Border along the I-10 corridor.
Financial Impact:
Fiscal Year:2018
Budgeted Y/N:Y
Amount:$165,000
Funding has been awarded to support overtime and mileage reimbursement ($165,000). There is
no match requirement from the Town for the funding.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the Subgrantee Agreement with the Arizona Department of
Marana Regular Council Meeting 12/19/2017 Page 288 of 483
Staff recommends approval of the Subgrantee Agreement with the Arizona Department of

V. FISCAL RESPONSBILITY
It is understood and agreed that the total amount of the funds used under this Agreement shall
be used only for the project as described in the application and award documentation. Therefore,
should the project not be completed, the subrecipient shall reimburse said funds directly to the
AZDOHS immediately. If the project is completed at a lower cost than the original budget called

spent by the subrecipient in accordance with the approved application. For any funds received

directly to the AZDOHS immediately.
VI. FINANCIAL AUDIT/PROGRAMMATIC MONITORING
The Subrecipient agrees to comply with the record-keeping requirements and other requirements
of A.R.S. § 35-214 and § 35-215.
a) In addition, in compliance with the Federal Single Audit Act (31 U.S.C. par. 7501-7507), as
amended by the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 (P.L. 104 to 156), the Subrecipient
must have an annual audit conducted in accordance with 2 CFR 200 (Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards) if the
Subrecipient expends more than $750,000 from Federal awards. If the Subrecipient has
expended more than $750,000 in Federal dollars, a copy of the Subrecipient’s audit report for
the previous fiscal year and subsequent years within the period of performance is due
annually to AZDOHS within nine (9) months of the Subrecipient’s fiscal year end. Failure to
comply with any requirements imposed as a result of an audit will suspend the release of
funds by AZDOHS to Subrecipient until Subrecipient is in compliance with all such
requirements.
b) Subrecipients who do not expend more than $750,000 in Federal dollars in the previous fiscal
year and subsequent years within the period of performance must submit to AZDOHS via
audits@azdohs.gov, a statement stating they do not meet the threshold and therefore do not
have to complete a Single Audit (formerly known as OMB Circular A-133 Audits of States,
Local Governments and Nonprofit Organizations).
c) Subrecipient will be monitored periodically by AZDOHS, both programmatically and
financially, to ensure that the project goals, objectives, performance requirements, timelines,
milestone completion, budgets, and other related program criteria are being met. Monitoring
will be accomplished through a combination of office-based reviews and on-site monitoring
visits. Monitoring can involve aspects of the work involved under this Agreement including but
not limited to the review and analysis of financial, programmatic, equipment, performance,
and administrative issues relative to each program and will identify areas where technical
assistance and other support may be needed. Subrecipient shall participate in and cooperate
with all such monitoring by AZDOHS, and shall provide access to all personnel, documents,
and other records as may be requested from time to time by AZDOHS. Subrecipient also
shall comply with all requests of AZDOHS that AZDOHS deems necessary to assure the
parties’ compliance with their obligations under this Agreement.
VII. APPLICABLE FEDERAL REGULATIONS
The Subrecipient must comply with the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), Office of
Management and Budget Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 2 CFR 200: Uniform Guidance.
The NOFO for this program is hereby incorporated into your award agreement by reference. By
accepting this award, the Subrecipient agrees that all allocation and use of funds under this grant

Where applicable and with prior written approval from AZDOHS/DHS/FEMA, HSGP Program
recipients using funds for construction projects must comply with the Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C.
3141 et seq.). Recipients must ensure that their contractors or subcontractors for construction
projects pay workers no less than the prevailing wages for laborers and mechanics employed on
projects of a character similar to the contract work in the civil subdivision of the state in which the
work is to be performed. Additional information regarding compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act,
including Department of Labor (DOL) wage determinations, is available from the following website
http://www.dol.gov/compliance/laws/comp-dbra.htm.
National Incident Management System (NIMS)
The Subrecipient agrees to remain in compliance with National Incident Management System
(NIMS) implementation initiatives as outlined in the applicable NOFO.
Environmental Planning and Historic Preservation
The Subrecipient shall comply with Federal, State and Local environmental and historical
preservation (EHP) regulations, laws and Executive Orders as applicable. Subrecipients
proposing projects that have the potential to impact the environment, including but not limited to
construction of communication towers, modification or renovation of existing buildings, structures
and facilities, or new construction including replacement of facilities, must participate in the
DHS/FEMA EHP review process. The EHP review process involves the submission of a detailed
project description that explains the goals and objectives of the proposed project along with
supporting documentation so that DHS/FEMA may determine whether the proposed project has
the potential to impact environmental resources and/or historic properties. In some cases,
DHS/FEMA is also required to consult with other regulatory agencies and the public in order to
complete the review process. The EHP review process must be completed before funds are
released to carry out the proposed project. If ground disturbing activities occur during project
implementation, the Subrecipient must ensure monitoring of ground disturbance and if any
archeological resources are discovered, the Subrecipient shall immediately cease construction in
that area and notify FEMA, AZDOHS and the appropriate State Historic Preservation Office.
DHS/FEMA will not fund projects that are initiated without the required EHP review.
Additionally, all recipients are required to comply with DHS/FEMA EHP Policy Guidance. This
EHP Policy Guidance can be found in FP 108-023-1, Environmental Planning and Historic
Preservation Policy Guidance, and FP 108.24.4, Environmental Planning and Historical
Preservation Policy.
Included within the above mentioned guidance documents are provisions for the following:
Consultants/Trainers/Training Providers
Invoices for consultants/trainers/training providers must include at a minimum: a description of
services; dates of services; number of hours for services performed; rate charged for services;
and, the total cost of services performed. Consultant/trainer/training provider costs must be
within the prevailing rates; must be obtained under consistent treatment with the procurement
policies of the Subrecipient and 2 CFR 200; and shall not exceed the maximum of $450 per day
per consultant/trainer/training provider unless prior written approval is granted by the AZDOHS.
In addition to the per day $450 maximum amount, the consultant/trainer/training provider may be
reimbursed reasonable travel, lodging, meal and incidental expenses not to exceed the State
rate. Itemized receipts are required for lodging and travel reimbursements. The Subrecipient will
not be reimbursed costs other than travel, lodging, meals and incidentals on travel days for
consultants/trainers/training providers.
Contractors/Subcontractors

PRESENTATIONS
P1 Relating to Community; presentation by the Pima Council on Aging regarding the
community's standing, response, and readiness to understand older adult issues (Jocelyn C.
Bronson). Mark Clark, President and CEO of the Pima Council on Aging noted that this year
marks the 50th anniversary of PCOA being instituted by the Pima Association of Governments.
He then reported on findings from their recent survey which is conducted approximately every
four years. He noted that Pima County’s population is aging faster than it is growing. Survey
results indicate that the top of concerns for seniors who responded listed fear of falling, the
ability to live independently in their own homes, memory loss, information about Medicare, and
affordable dental care.
P2 Relating to Boards, Commissions and Committees; discussion, consideration and
possible direction regarding recommendations from the Fall 2017 Marana Citizens' Forum on the
Marana Regular Council Meeting 12/19/2017 Page 312 of 483
December 5, 2017 Regular Council Meeting Minutes 3
topic "Public Art Policy Development" (Jocelyn C. Bronson) Ms. Bronson introduced the
delegates present in the audience, and Kathy Officer proceeded to inform the Council about
their recommendations. Those recommendations are to develop and adopt an official public art
policy. The core elements of the policy should include: artistic themes, appropriate art
locations, responsible project financing and management, and types of art. The final
recommendation was to convene an ad hoc committee or task force to work with town staff on
drafting the policy. It was noted in the presentation that the delegates believe that policy
development should be guided by economic development, tourism and community values.
P3 Relating to Budget; presentation of first quarter results (July - September) for the Town's
General Fund and other selected major funds for the 2017-18 fiscal year (Erik Montague). Mr.
Montague presented, and made note that staff has been looking for some time at ways to update
the presentation of the data and the format of the data which allows for interactivity and
visualizations. Eventually there will be narrative that matches the visualizations once you click
on an item. He gave kudos to Budget Analyst Michael Dykman for his efforts in designing the
format. The presentation was be a high level summary of revenues and expenditures for the first
quarter
CONSENT AGENDA. Motion to approve the Consent Agenda by Vice Mayor Post, second
by Council Member Bowen. Passed unanimously 5-0.
C1 Resolution No. 2017-107: Relating to Development; approving a two-year extension of

C3 Approval of November 7, 2017 Regular Council Meeting Minutes (Jocelyn C. Bronson)
LIQUOR LICENSES
BOARDS, COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES
COUNCIL ACTION
A1 Ordinance No. 2017.024: Relating to Finance; amending the Town of Marana
Comprehensive Fee Schedule to eliminate certain penalty fees for dog licenses; and declaring an
emergency (Jane Fairall). Ms. Fairall noted that the current fee structure has three levels,
depending on how late a person is to renew. Town staff is looking to reduce the complexity by
having only one late fee of $10 when the license is not renewed within 30 days after being
notified of the deadline. The design is to make the activity less administratively burdensome and
Marana Regular Council Meeting 12/19/2017 Page 313 of 483
December 5, 2017 Regular Council Meeting Minutes 4
encourage more people to get their dog licensed rather than penalizi ng them more. As there are
only five Council Members present, staff will strike the emergency clause, and the ordinance will
go into effect in 30 days from the date the ordinance was signed. Motion to approve by Council
Member Bowen, second by Vice Mayor Post. Passed unanimously 5-0.
A2 Ordinance No. 2017.025: Relating to Animal Control; amending Town Code Title 6
(Animal Control), Chapter 6-3 (Vaccination and Licensing of Dogs); revising Section 6-3-7
(License fees; rebate; delinquency penalties) regarding the assessment of penalty fees; and
declaring an emergency (Jane Fairall). Mr. Fairall noted that this ordinance will allow staff to
change the town code to comply with the action just taken regarding the change to the fee
schedule by stating that a fee will be assessed if the owner of the dog does not renew the license
within the prescribed amount of 30 days from date of notification established by the town. The
emergency clause will also need to be stricken due to a lack of a full Council, and this o rdinance
will be into effect 30 days from the date the ordinance was signed. Council Member Bowen
asked how we would know if a dog had been licensed. Ms. Fairall responded that we wouldn’t;
however the town uses a service called Pet Data for licensing that sends out renewal notices.
Nothing will happen until they come in and try to renew or get another license. At that time, a
$10 late fee would be assessed in addition to the current fee. Motion to approve by Council
Member Bowen, second by Council Member Comerford. Passed unanimously 5-0.
A3 PUBLIC HEARING: Ordinance No. 2017.026; Relating to Development; amending the
Marana Spectrum Specific Plan, Part II - Development Plan and Standards to allow residential
uses to be located on all stories of multi-story, multi-family residential development within
Parcels 2 and 3 of the Marana Center Final Block Plat; and establishing an effective date (Brian
D. Varney)
Resolution No. 2017-109: Relating to Development; declaring as a public record filed
with the Town Clerk the amendment adopted by Ordinance 2017.026, amending the Marana
Spectrum Specific Plan, Part II - Development Plan and Standards to allow residential us es to be
located on all stories of multi-story, multi-family residential development within Parcels 2 and 3
of the Marana Center Final Block Plat (Brian D. Varney)
Mayor Honea opened the public hearing. Mr. Varney presented and noted that Vintage
Partners would like to amend the specific plan to allow residential uses on all stor y structures in
Parcels 2 and 3 on the eastern part of the Marana Center final block plat. Parcels 1, 4 and 5
would be restricted to the same second and third story limitation. The Planning Commission
heard this request on November 29th and recommended unanimous approval of 7-0. Sharon
Foltz, Marana resident spoke in favor of having the first floor residential use. There being no
further speakers, Mayor Honea closed the public hearing. Motion to approve by Council
Member Comerford, second by Vice Mayor Post. Passed unanimously 5-0.
A4 PUBLIC HEARING: Ordinance No. 2017.027; Relating to Development; amending Title
5, Section 05.11.03.C of the Marana Land Development Code to include micro-hospital as a
permitted use within the Village Commercial (VC) zoning district; amending Title 17 (Land
Development) Section 17-1-4 (Definitions) of the Marana Town Code to add a definition of
micro-hospital; and establishing an effective date (Brian D. Varney)
Marana Regular Council Meeting 12/19/2017 Page 314 of 483
December 5, 2017 Regular Council Meeting Minutes 5
Mayor Honea opened the public hearing. Mr. Varney presented and noted that the consensus
of what constitutes a micro hospital is that it provides services above and beyond what you
would get at an urgent care center and often what you would get at a full-service hospital except
on a smaller scale. Building sizes would vary from 15,000 square feet on the low end to about
50,000 to 60,000 square feet on the high end. The Planning Commission considered this proposal
November 29th and voted 7-0 to recommend approval. However, they stipulated that it not be
permitted as a permitted use but as a conditional use. The conditional use permit is another layer
of review and approval processes, and requires another public hearing before the Planning
Commission but not the town Council. The Commission would evaluate each of the proposals on
a per case basis, including the site, the neighborhood and the actual characteristics before they
make a recommendation. The only time the Council would see a condit ional use request is if it
is appealed. Staff has no objection to the conditional use, so it would be the Council’s pleasure
for a permitted use or a conditional use. Staff would add a definition for micro-hospital. Mayor
Honea noted that if any member of the Council wished to appeal, the item would go before
Council. Council Member Comerford asked what was driving this new product or use. Mr.
Varney stated that staff was approached by an applicant who was looking to locate within the
town. The benefit is that emergency services are closer to the residential areas. They can
provide everything that a full service hospital provides but on a smaller scale. There will be beds,
so that there is provision for an overnight stay or until a patient is stabilized for transport to
another facility. In response to a question of whether there is an example of a micro hospital in
the region, Mr. Varney stated that he was unaware of one here but they are becoming very
popular across the country, and we will undoubtedly see more of these here in the near future.
There being no speakers from the audience, Mayor Honea closed the public hearing. Motion to
approve as a conditional use permit by Vice Mayor Post, second by Council Member Ziegler.
Passed unanimously 5-0.

behalf of Breakers 95, located at 8555 W. Tangerine Road, Marana, Arizona

Discussion:
This application is for a series #7 Beer and Wine Bar liquor license at Breakers 95 located at 8555
W. Tangerine Road, Marana, Arizona 85653.
Town staff has reviewed this application to determine whether the applicant is in compliance with
legal requirements for the business. Additionally, the Marana Police Department has conducted a
local background check.
The Town Council must enter an order recommending approval or disapproval of the application
within 60 days after mailing of the notice of acquisition of control to the Town. Pursuant to state
statute, a license will only be issued after a satisfactory showing of the capability, qualifications
and reliability of the applicant and “in all proceedings before the town council, the applicant bears
the burden of showing that the public convenience requires and that the best interests of the
community will be substantially served by the issuance of a license.”
If the Council’s recommendation is for disapproval, the order must include an attachment stating
the specific reasons for the recommendation of disapproval and including a summary of the
testimony or other evidence supporting the recommendation.
If the Council enters an order recommending approval of the application, or makes no
recommendation, then no hearing before the Arizona state liquor board will take place, unless the
Marana Regular Council Meeting 12/19/2017 Page 317 of 483
director of the DLLC or the liquor board requests a hearing. If the Council enters an order
recommending disapproval of the application, or if the director or liquor board requests a hearing,
then the state board will hold a hearing regarding the application.
At the hearing, the state board will consider all evidence and testimony in favor of or opposed to
the granting of the license. The decision of the board to either grant or deny an application will
normally take place within 105 days after the application has been filed, unless the director of the
DLLC deems it necessary to extend the time period.

Staff recommends that an order recommending approval be submitted to the DLLC for this liquor
license application.
Suggested Motion:
OPTION 1: I move to adopt and submit to the DLLC an order recommending approval of an

License Lottery or for purchase on the open market. Once issued, this liquor license is
transferable from person to person and/or location to location within the same county

that after January 1, 2011, the off-sale privileges associated with a bar license shall be
limited to no more than 30% of the total annual sales receipts of liquor by the licensee at
that location. Payment must be made no later than the time of delivery. Off-sale ("To
Go") package sales of spirituous liquor can be made on the bar premises as long as the
area of off-sale operation does not utilize a separate entrance and exit from the ones
provided for the bar. A hotel or motel with a Series 6 license may sell spirituous liquor
in sealed containers in individual portions to its registered guests at any time by means
of a minibar located in the guest rooms of registered guests. The registered guest must

Meeting Date:12/19/2017
To:Mayor and Council
From:Keith Brann, Town Engineer
Date:December 19, 2017
Strategic Plan Focus Area:
Not Applicable
Subject:Ordinance No. 2017.029 : Relating to Development; adopting development impact fees
for street facilities, parks and recreation facilities, water facilities, and wastewater
facilities; accepting and approving the technical reports identifying benefit areas and
facilities needs; modifying the definitions of “General office land use category” and
“Medical facilities land use category” in Marana Town Code Section 17-17-3; and
providing an effective date (Keith Brann)
Discussion:
The Town has been moving through the process to update its impact fees, last updated in 2014, to
address additional infrastructure needs within the Town and to account for changes in growth
patterns. On September 19, 2017, the Town council adopted updated growth assumptions, a
street facilities infrastructure improvement plan (IIP), a parks and recreation IIP, a water IIP, and
a wastewater IIP.
The Town gave public notice on September 22, 2017 of the intent to assess development impact
fees for streets, parks, water and wastewater facilities. Draft fee reports for these impact fees
were published at this time and have been available at the Marana municipal complex and on the
Town's website. Comments were taken during the intervening period and a formal public hearing
on November 7, 2017. Based on comments and discussion, final reports have been prepared and
are attached to this item.
Tonight Town staff will be discussing the final analysis regarding the proposed development
impact fee program and asking council to formally adopt development fees for streets, parks,
water and wastewater facilities.
In 2014, the Council opted to not assess a new streets impact fee in the southern benefit area and
allowed the northwest benefit area fee to lapse. At this time, development in the south and
northwest districts and the infrastructure needed to address such growth warrants new
Marana Regular Council Meeting 12/19/2017 Page 324 of 483
street impact fees in these districts. The result will be to re-implement the northwest streets fee on
residential and commercial construction - currently where there is no fee. It should be noted that
the newly proposed northwest streets fee is approximately half of the fee that was allowed to lapse
in 2014. By implementing a new south streets fee, commercial ventures will now be required to
pay an impact fee. As part of this impact fee process, medical uses as they relate to the streets
fees are being refined. Essentially, urgent cares and clinics are being switched from medical
facility category to office use. It is staff's opinion that the trip generation of these facilities are
more akin to doctors's offices than hospitals. A companion ordinance will change the impact fee
category definitions accordingly.
The Parks fee remains unchanged in amount, though the project list in 2017 approved IIP differs
from the 2014 approved IIP.
The various water infrastructure fees are changing nominally based on differing infrastructure
needs and growth projections. The water resource fee is rising significantly (approximately 70%)
due to a combination of increased cost of water acquisitions and that the fee partially supports
wastewater plant expansion due to treated effluent being part of the Town's water portfolio.
The wastewater fee will be slightly reduced with this update.
Also of note is that the Lower Santa Cruz River Levee fee of $500 per acre was re-affirmed in
2014 and is unaffected by this process.
Financial Impact:
The development impact fee program will generate revenue for the Town that is restricted to
capital construction in accordance with the various impact fee benefit areas and proposed projects
used to calculate the fee. By adopting the fees, the Town takes on the legal obligation to construct
the capital facilities used to justify the fees within 10 years or must reimburse the fees. Revenues
and expenditures associated with the collection and use of impact fees will be incorporated within
the appropriate fiscal year's budget.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends the adoption of Ordinance 2017.029, adopting the impact fee program and
revision to impact fee category definitions.
Suggested Motion:
I move to adopt Ordinance No. 2017.029, adopting the impact fee program by assessing the
northeast streets, northwest streets, south streets, parks, water, and wastewater facilities
development impact fees in the maximum amount allowed under the technical reports, and
revising impact fee category definitions.

Marana Parks Infrastructure Improvement Plan - DRAFT | Page 1
Introduction
The Town of Marana is responsible for collecting development impact fees to supplement the cost of
expanding parks and recreation facilities to meet increased demand associated with new development.
The collection of impact fees is legislated by Arizona Revised Statute (ARS) §9-463.05. The calculation of
impact fees for parks and recreation facilities and the expansion of parks and recreation infrastructure
associated with growth are described in the Infrastructure Improvement Plan (IIP) for Parks and Recreation
Facilities. The 2014 IIP for the Town’s parks and recreation system is now being updated for 2017. In
order to continue collecting impact fees, the Town has prepared an updated IIP for 2017 that includes fee
schedules and a list of capital improvements that are projected to be constructed over the next ten years.
Arizona’s statute that legislates impact fee assessment procedures and programs requires jurisdictions to
develop an IIP that is based on land use assumptions that describe existing and new development. As
defined in ARS §9-463.05(T)6:
“ ‘Infrastructure Improvements Plan’ means a written plan that identifies each necessary
public service or facility expansion that is proposed to be the subject of a development fee
and otherwise complies with the requirements of this section, and may be the
municipality's capital improvements plan.”
This Impact Fee Study Update is a report that identifies infrastructure needs for parks and recreation
facilities, and the calculation of impact fees. The Town of Marana’s Land Use Assumptions are the basis for
projecting infrastructure expansion as a result of new development.
Elements of the Impact Fee Study Update
Service Area
Service areas are defined in ARS §9-463.05 (T)9:
“any specified area within the boundaries of a municipality in which development will be
served by necessary public services or facility expansions and within which a substantial
nexus exists between the necessary public services of facility expansions and the
development being served as prescribed in the infrastructure improvements plan.”
Parks and Recreation Facilities IIP
A.R.S. §9-463.05(7)G defines the facilities and assets that can be included in the Parks and Recreation IIP:
“Neighborhood parks and recreational facilities on real property up to thirty acres in area,
or parks and recreational facilities larger than thirty acres if the facilities provide a direct
benefit to the development. Park and recreational facilities do not include vehicles,
equipment or that portion of any facility that is used for amusement parks, aquariums,
aquatic centers, auditoriums, arenas, arts and cultural facilities, bandstand and orchestra
Marana Regular Council Meeting 12/19/2017 Page 340 of 483
Marana Parks Infrastructure Improvement Plan - DRAFT | Page 2
facilities, bathhouses, boathouses, clubhouses, community centers greater than three
thousand square feet in floor area, environmental education centers, equestrian facilities,
golf course facilities, greenhouses, lakes, museums, theme parks, water reclamation or
riparian areas, wetlands, zoo facilities or similar recreational facilities, but may include
swimming pools.”
The 2017 Parks and Recreation Facilities IIP identifies assets for community parks, regional parks,
recreation facilities, and trails, as well as, the preparation of a future Parks and Recreation Facilities IIP and
Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update.
The 2017 Marana Parks, Recreation, Trails and Open Space Master Plan Update guides the Town’s efforts
to continue to meet the community’s need for quality parks and recreation facilities. It is a Master Plan
Update that affirms the community’s priorities for parks and recreation infrastructure and the level of service
that’s provided for residents. The Master Plan Update reflects the community’s priorities for capital
improvements that are included in the IIP.
Methodology
This Impact Fee Study Update employs an incremental expansion method that identifies the Town’s
existing level of service and projects the level of service assumptions over the next ten years as the
community grows. The existing level of service for parks and recreation facilities is assigned a value based
on the cost of replacement. The value of the parks and recreation system is adjusted to subtract
outstanding debt on existing facilities, the balance collected, unspent impact fees, developer fee credits and
the cost of the Impact Fee Study. The adjusted value of the existing parks and recreation facilities is then
distributed across the existing level of community development to calculate a value of the existing parks
system per dwelling. The adjusted value of the existing parks and recreation facilities relative to current
development is then projected onto new development using estimates for future development found in the
Town’s land use assumptions. Using this methodology, the Town’s existing level of parks and recreation
service is maintained as the community grows and expansion of parks and recreation facilities necessary to
meet the demand of growth has a supplemental funding source in development impact fees.
The advantages of using an incremental expansion method over other methods, e.g. a general standards-
based or plan-based methods, include the following metrics.
• The fee is based on the existing level of service provided by the Town instead of a national
standard that fails to account for jurisdictional variations.
• The incremental expansion method more accurately identifies the value of existing level of service
compared to estimating a general cost per acre of developed parkland. Existing level of service is
valued by assigning replacement costs to inventoried park assets.
• The incremental expansion method is flexible because the impact fee is based on existing level of
service. Consequently, the Town may fine tune capital improvements identified in the IIP to meet
changing community recreation needs. A standards-based approach based on the Parks
Recreation Trails and Open Space Master Plan would require an update to the Master Plan and a
re-calculation of the impact fees to meet changing community needs.

The Town of Marana Service Area
For this Impact Fee Study Update, there is one service area identified for the Town of Marana. As shown in
Exhibit 1, the town limits serve as the boundary for the service area with the exception of a portion of Dove
Mountain. The entire Town of Marana is included in the service area except for a section of Dove Mountain
in the northwest part of town. The exclusion reflects an area within Dove Mountain that is exempt from
impact fees. For the remainder of the Town, the most densely developed areas are where existing parks
and recreation facilities are located. These densely developed areas are adequately served by the parks
and recreation facilities. It is in areas of new development that park and recreation facility expansion is
needed to meet the demand of growth. Consequently, new facilities that expand the parks and recreation
system will directly benefit residents in areas of new growth in keeping with the legislative requirements for
collecting development impact fees. There is, however, a need for additional trails to serve the developed
areas of Marana. Since the Town is committed to providing a uniform level of service across the entire city,
a single service area will be used.
Proportionate Share
New residential development creates incremental demand for expanded parks and recreation facilities
while demand created by non-residential development is relatively low. The proportionate share of the cost
of parks and recreation service for non-residential development is low enough that it does not justify
collecting development impact fees. Future impact fee studies shall reconsider the non-residential share of
the cost of parks and recreation infrastructure as the character of development in the Town changes over
time or as future research on the impact of non-residential development is developed.
Service Units as Equivalent Demand Units
ARS §9-463.05 requires that service units be defined in an impact fee study and used as the basis for
impact fee collection. The 2017 Impact Fee Study uses an Equivalent Demand Unit (EDU) as the service
unit for the park impact fee. To calculate an EDU, housing unit types are weighted in relation to single-
family detached housing. The weight of each housing type reflects a park service multiplier derived from
the average household size for each housing type based on United States Census Bureau statistics. The
average household size for a single-family detached housing unit is 2.7 while the average household size
of a multi-family/single-family attached housing unit is 1.8. The park service multiplier for a single-family
detached residence is therefore 1.0 while the park service multiplier for a multi-family/single-family attached
dwelling unit is 0.67. The sum of these weighted dwelling units by housing type results in total EDUs for
the Town.
Unlike impact fee studies for parks improvements, impact fee studies for transportation infrastructure
expansion often use land use categories that are identified through analysis of vehicle usage and trip data
that is available locally and is part of published transportation planning literature. Because there is no data
on visits to existing parks, the Impact Fee Study for Parks and Recreation Facilities makes use of the
differentiation between single-family and multi-family residential units and their average household sizes to
fine tune the definition of service units for parks impact fees.

Necessary Public Services - Existing
As required in ARS §9-463.05(E)1 a “necessary public service” must meet the following criteria:
“A description of the existing necessary public services in the service area and the costs to
upgrade, update, improve, expand, correct or replace those necessary public services to
meet existing needs and usage and stricter safety, efficiency, environmental or regulatory
standards, which shall be prepared by qualified professionals licensed in this state, as
applicable.”
In addition, ARS §9-463.05(E)2 requires:
“An analysis of the total capacity, the level of current usage and commitments for usage of
capacity of the existing necessary public services, which shall be prepared by qualified
professionals licensed in this state, as applicable.”
In response to the required analysis of existing, necessary public park services, an inventory of parks and
recreation assets throughout the Town of Marana has been compiled (Exhibit 3). The inventory is based
on data provided by the Town of Marana and lists existing park amenities by facility with an identified
replacement cost. The inventory excludes park acreage beyond the 30-acre limit referenced in ARS §9-
463.05(T)7(G). Replacement costs are based on current construction costs in the parks and recreation
industry. Trail mileage and associated acreage are listed in Appendix B.
The existing level of service provided by the Town’s current parks and recreation facilities is quantified by
distributing the value of the existing parks and recreation facilities over the total number of existing EDUs in
the Town. Exhibit 3 describes the total value of existing parks and recreation infrastructure. The existing
number of EDUs is described in Exhibit 4. The existing level of service provided by the Town of Marana’s
park infrastructure is quantified by dividing the total value of the existing infrastructure (Exhibit 3) by the
existing number of EDUs (Exhibit 4).

Based on statute, the value of the existing parks and recreation level of service must be increased by the
total impact fees collected to date and decreased by 1) outstanding credits given to developers and 2) park-
related debt. Credits to developers are generated when developers contribute to the expansion of the
parks and recreation infrastructure by building a park in-lieu of paying development impact fees. This
calculation of the adjusted value of the existing parks and recreation infrastructure is found in Exhibit 5.
The adjusted value of the existing parks and recreation infrastructure is then distributed among existing
EDUs to identify a per EDU value of the existing park and recreation infrastructure. The calculation of the
value of the existing parks and recreation infrastructure per EDU is shown in Exhibit 5. This per service
unit value represents the standard level of service that must be maintained as the Town grows.

Necessary Public Services - New Development
ARS §9-463.05(E)3 requires:
“A description of all or the parts of the necessary public services or facility expansions and
their costs necessitated by and attributable to development in the service area based on the
approved land use assumptions, including a forecast of the costs of infrastructure,
improvements, real property, financing, engineering and architectural services, which shall
be prepared by qualified professionals licensed in this state, as applicable.”
In response to the statutory mandate for a description of parks and recreation facility expansion projects
required to meet the demand of new growth, the Town of Marana has developed the Ten-Year Capital
Improvement Plan in Exhibit 6. Impact fees that are collected between 2013 and 2023 will be directed to
the capital improvements identified in Exhibit 6 with the understanding that A.R.S. §9-463.05 allows that
“…a municipality may amend an infrastructure improvements plan adopted pursuant to this section without
a public hearing if the amendment addresses only elements of necessary public services in the existing
infrastructure improvements plan and the changes to the plan will not, individually or cumulatively with other
amendments adopted pursuant to this subsection, increase the level of service in the service area or cause
a development fee increase…”.

Updated Parks Impact Fee per Service Unit
ARS §9-463.05(E)3 requires:
“A table establishing the specific level or quantity of use, consumption, generation or
discharge of a service unit for each category of necessary public services or facility
expansions and an equivalency or conversion table establishing the ratio of a service unit to
various types of land uses, including residential, commercial and industrial.”
Exhibit 7 meets the statutory mandate described above. The updated park impact fee is a projection of
existing level of service to new development. Exhibit 7 converts the net value per EDU to cost per housing
unit by multiplying it by the Park Service Unit Multiplier. The updated impact fee derived in Exhibit 7 does
not reflect any credits or allowable deductions.

does collect a 4% construction sales tax and also receives revenue from the state related to gas taxes. It is
recommended that $503 of the sales tax be credited on a per EDU basis, resulting in a fee of $2,461 per
EDU. Exhibit 10 calculates the projected revenue and percent of planned costs covered by this revenue
forecast. The remainder of the sales tax credit would be credited against the yet-to-be-calculated Street
Facilities fee.
It is recommended that the credits associated with HURF/VLT be applied fully to the street facilities
fee. If approved, no additional credits would be applied to the Parks and Recreational Facilities fee.

1. INTRODUCTION
The Town of Marana collects development fees to offset some of the infrastructure costs
associated with growth. The Town’s ordinance and fee structure complies with Arizona
Revised Statute (ARS) §9-463.05. This report provides revised development fee studies,
project lists, and fee schedules necessary to implement the update of its street impact
fees.
The statute prescribes in detail development fee assessment procedures and programs.
It limits the types of “necessary public services” which the fees can fund. A municipality
must develop two preliminary products prior to calculating the fees for each service
category: a set of land use assumptions and an infrastructure improvements plan (IIP).
These documents were adopted by the Town Council on September 19, 2017.
As described in the Streets Facilities Infrastructure Improvements Plan (Streets IIP), the
Town has three service areas for street improvements. The service areas are shown in
Figure 1. Note that this figure is slightly different than the one shown in the IIP because
of the preexisting exemption for the Dove Mountain development.
This Development Fee Report defines terminology and identifies the maximum
recommended fees to be collected to fund the Streets IIP.
Marana Regular Council Meeting 12/19/2017 Page 357 of 483
December 2017 Streets Facilities Development Fee Study Page 2
2. STREETS FACILITIES FEE CATEGORIES
Streets facilities fees are assessed based on a development’s size, type, and service area.
The fees are divided into eight land use categories including residential, retail, high traffic
retail, industrial, general office, medical facility, institutional, and recreation. Residential
development and retail/service uses are further refined in subcategories. Definitions for
these categories and subcategories are provided here, based on commonly used land use
descriptions found in ITE’s Trip Generation publication (ITE).
“Single Family Residential” (SFR) refers to all detached or attached residential
structures characteristic of a primary residence, even if the residence is subsequently
rented. Duplexes, Triplexes, Condominiums, Townhomes, as well as mobile homes and
manufactured homes on individual parcels are assessed at the SFR rate. See also ITE
Land Use Category 210.
“Multi-Family Residential” refers to development where more than a single residential
unit occurs on a single lot. This includes apartments, student housing, and mobile home
parks. See also ITE Land Use Category 220.
“Age Restricted Residential” refers to communities that restrict residents to those who
are at least 55 years old with no one in the household under age 18. See ITE Land Use
Categories 251 and 252.
“Hotel/Motel” refers to temporary lodging facilities including hotels, motels, time
shares/fractional shares, and recreational vehicle parks. See ITE Land Use Category 320
and related categories.
“Congregate Care” refers to group housing that is typified by a central eating facility,
smaller rooms, and a higher level of care for its tenants. This includes nursing homes,
group homes, and other similar uses. See ITE Land Use Category 253.
“Retail Services” include myriad land uses providing retail sales, discount sales, and
related services. See ITE Land Use Categories 800-899.
Marana Regular Council Meeting 12/19/2017 Page 358 of 483
December 2017 Streets Facilities Development Fee Study Page 3
“High Traffic Retail” includes, but is not limited to, fast food restaurants, service stations,
convenience stores, and high-turnover restaurants. See ITE Land Use Categories 853
and 900-999.
“Industrial” uses include all light and heavy industry, industrial parks, manufacturing,
warehousing, mini-storage, and utilities. See ITE Land Use Categories 100-199.
“Office” includes all office uses, office parks, corporate headquarters, governmental
offices, business parks, and research and development (R&D) parks. Doctor, dentist, and
veterinary offices, clinics, and urgent care facilities fall under this category instead of
medical facilities. See ITE Land Use Category 710 and related categories.
“Medical Facility” includes hospitals, micro hospitals, stand-alone emergency rooms,
and other similar uses. See ITE Land Use Categories 610 and 630.
“Institutional” includes churches, schools, colleges, and universities, cemeteries,
libraries, fraternal lodges, and day care centers. See ITE Land Use Categories 500-599.
“Recreation” includes parks, camp grounds, golf courses, bowling alleys, movie theaters,
racetracks, skating rinks, tennis courts, health/fitness clubs, and community recreational
centers. See ITE Land Use Categories 400-499.
Additional definitions for terms used in the Streets IIP and in this report include the
following:
“Equivalent Demand Unit (EDU)” is the demand for streets infrastructure created by a
typical single family residence, or SFR. The average vehicle-miles of travel created by a
SFR on the arterial/major collector network is one service unit, or EDU. The demand for
streets infrastructure for other land uses is the ratio of its demand compared to that of a
SFR, expressed in EDU. For example, the EDU/unit for one multi-family residential unit
is 0.6 EDU. This definition differs from the Park Fee study, which uses the ratio of
household size (number of occupants) instead.
Marana Regular Council Meeting 12/19/2017 Page 359 of 483
December 2017 Streets Facilities Development Fee Study Page 4
“Service Unit” means a standardized measure of infrastructure capacity consumption,
use, generation or discharge attributable to an individual unit of development calculated
pursuant to generally accepted engineering or planning standards for a particular category
of necessary public services or facility expansions. In this Fee Report, the terms service
unit and EDU are interchangeable.

3. STREETS FACILITIES AND FUNDABLE IMPROVEMENTS
A list of proposed streets improvements to be funded between 2018 and 2027 is shown in
Table 1 of the Streets IIP. That exhibit, Titled “Necessary Streets Facilities, Existing and
Future” is hereby incorporated by reference. The list includes projects in each of the three
service areas, and total costs of improvements is $138,263,417. The total cost of the
improvements is greater than the cost attributable to new development from 2018 to 2027,
which totals $67,849,296, as shown in Table 1 below. The table also includes the cost of
two updates to the impact fee studies during the 10-year period, estimated at $90,000
each, split proportionally (by EDUs) between the three service areas. These costs are
eligible expenditures of development fees pursuant the definitions of necessary public
services in A.R.S. §9-463.05(7)G.
The table also reflects the exemption of Dove Mountain from the northeast benefit area,
including adjusted costs for the projects and the future impact fee (see additional
discussion in Section 4). Per the existing agreement, the Town of Marana is responsible
for impact fees which would have otherwise been paid by Dove Mountain.

4. DEVELOPMENT FEES FOR STREETS FACILITIES
The analysis of maximum recommended fees for the various land use categories, as
applied to the three service areas, takes into consideration numerous factors. These
include the trip generation rates, percent of primary trips, length of travel on the major
collector/arterial system, and the current expected cost of building additional roadway
capacity. These factors are inherent in the summary matrix provided in Table 2, which
defines the recommended maximum base fee for each combination of land use and
service area. (Additional detail is provided in Appendix B.) This table also includes fee
offsets for the construction sales tax (CST) as applicable, which was detailed in the IIP.
The CST credit described in the Streets IIP is split between the Streets Fee and the Parks
Fee. The Parks fee credit is $503 per residential unit; the remainder is credited to the
Streets Fee.
As examples, the recommended maximum base development fees for single family
residences are $3,719 for the Northwest service area, $4,291 for the Northeast service
area, and $4,327 for the South service area. The recommended maximum fees for other
land uses are proportional to their relative EDU factors and allowable offsets. Note that
fees for the “Retail and Services” category are assessed on a build-up basis. For example,
a 150,000 square foot development in the South service area would be charged $103,740
for the first 15,000 square feet plus $8,231 times 135 for the remaining 135,000 square
feet, for a total base fee of $1,221,540.
Fees are assessed not only for new capacity, but also for available capacity built in
advance by the Town in anticipation of new development. The value of these completed
capacity projects is factored into the analysis on a pro rata basis of construction costs and
the utilization of these facilities by an expanded population and business base. These
projects include portions of Cortaro Road, Silverbell Road, and Ina Road, as shown in
Appendix B.
The fees shall be determined by the Town utilizing the land use intensity factors contained
in the fee tables, i.e., number of dwelling units or 1000s of square feet of building area.
Portions of a development that do not generate traffic impacts may be excluded from the
calculation of fees at the discretion of the Town.

Examples of such ancillary uses which would not generate traffic impacts include
maintenance and storage facilities on a golf course or an outdoor car wash at an auto
dealership. Fees shall be assessed to governmental uses including school districts, fire
districts, water companies, and public utilities. The Town of Marana is a municipal
corporation exempt from streets facilities development fees.
The Dove Mountain development is removed in its entirety from the streets facilities
development fee northeast benefit area due to a prior agreement between the Town and
the developer. This exemption does not alter the technical analysis or the resulting fee
calculation. The fee study considers the exemption of approximately 833 dwelling units
and 20 acres of commercial uses representing approximately 850 EDUs anticipated in the
Land Use Assumptions for Dove Mountain over the next 10 years. The subtraction of
these EDUs does not change the result of the fee analysis because the total fees for the
benefit area were reduced accordingly (i.e. the portion which Dove Mountain would have
paid was removed from the total). The Town of Marana is obligated to provide any streets
facilities project funding which otherwise would have been paid by Dove Mountain.
As a matter of sound fiscal policy, the streets fees should be reviewed, and if necessary,
adjusted, every two years concurrent with the mandatory biennial audit. At a minimum,
upon consideration by the Mayor and Council, adjustment should be made for the
Construction Cost Index, which shall not exceed a five percent increase in the fee.

5. GUIDANCE ON SPECIAL FEE STUDIES
5.1. NEED FOR SPECIAL FEE STUDIES
In some cases, there will be a need for a special impact fee study because the routine
application of the fee table is deemed unfair to either the developer or the Town. This
might occur if the projected traffic from a proposed development has a significantly
different trip generation rate or trip length, or if there is no strong nexus between the land
use and the funded facilities. An example of this would include a student housing project
where vehicle use is low, alternate modes are provided, and trip distances are short.
Conversely, an industrial use might overburden a roadway structural section such that the
roadway design basis used in the fee calculation is exceeded. In such a case, additional
structural capacity would be needed for the proposed loading rather than adding travel
lanes.
For these examples (and other unusual situations), either the developer or the Town would
request a special impact fee study be conducted. The study could be conducted by a
qualified consultant on behalf of the developer, or by Town staff. The Town remains the
final decision maker on these matters, including the need for a special study, who conducts
it, and its ultimate approval resulting in a modified fee.
5.2. TIMING OF SPECIAL FEE STUDIES
Special fee studies may be initiated by a developer or by the Town. In the case of
developer-initiated studies, the developer shall submit to the Town a letter of justification
prior to conducting a special fee study. The letter shall state the reasons why a special
study is necessary. If Town staff concurs that a special study is justified, staff will then
decide if the study will be conducted in-house at no cost to the developer, or by a mutually
agreed upon and qualified third party, at the expense of the developer. The Town shall
render a determination on the request within two weeks of submittal. Special fee studies
must be justified, prepared, submitted, and approved (if appropriate) prior to the time when
streets facilities development fees are due. Special studies may not be conducted
retroactively or after development fees have been paid to the Town. Requests for full or
partial refunds after payment of the fees are not allowed.
Marana Regular Council Meeting 12/19/2017 Page 366 of 483
December 2017 Streets Facilities Development Fee Study Page 11
In cases where the Town initiates a special fee study, the Town shall notify the developer
in writing not later than four weeks after a developer submits a tentative plat in the case
of a subdivision, development plan, or building permit request. The Town shall conduct a
special fee study and make a modified fee determination prior to the time fees are due. A
developer may appeal the Town’s findings to the Town Council in a manner prescribed by
Town ordinances and codes. The Town may not conduct a special study or modify fees
retroactively or after development fees have been paid to the Town.
In no case shall special fee studies be conducted due to simple disagreement with the
Town’s cost estimates, ITE trip generation rates, or projects defined in the Infrastructure
Improvements Plan for Streets Facilities. Developer-initiated fee studies will generally be
disallowed if the project can readily be reused for other more intense purposes.
5.3. PERSONS PREPARING SPECIAL FEE STUDIES
Due to the highly technical nature of development fee calculations, special fee studies
shall be prepared by qualified professional(s), as defined by statutes. For studies
conducted by a third party on behalf of the developers, the Town shall approve the
selection of the person or firm preparing the study in advance of the study’s submittal to
the Town.
5.4. CONTENT OF SPECIAL FEE STUDIES
Special fee studies may be prepared as a freestanding report or as a supplement to a
traffic impact report required by the Town as a precondition of development approval.
Special fee studies shall include the following elements:
· Introduction describing the project location, land use, and intensity. State
the assigned Marana case number.
· Justification for the Study, which may be a reiteration of the approved letter
of request.
· Technical analysis of the elements of fee basis, resulting in a new or
revised EDU calculation used to estimate the impact fee. The technical
analysis may consider the existing uses of the site.
Marana Regular Council Meeting 12/19/2017 Page 367 of 483
December 2017 Streets Facilities Development Fee Study Page 12
· Detailed cost estimate of proposed development to determine construction
cost credit. This cost estimate may ultimately be utilized by the Town for
building permitting use.
· Recalculation of the proposed Streets facilities development fee to be paid
by the developer, based on the revised EDU calculation. The fee
recalculation may also consider credits for prior Streets facilities
development fee payments to the Town and existing uses on the site.
· Summary of findings, briefly restating the contents of the study.
· Appendices, providing any supporting information such as field data,
technical publications, and market information. Include copies of the letter
of request for a special study and the approval of the request.
· Seal of professional registrant as required by R4-30-304, Use of Seals,
Arizona State Board of Technical Registration.

December 2017 Streets Facilities Development Fee Study Page 13
6. GUIDANCE ON FEE CREDITS
Fee credits are allowed under three circumstances:
Credit for Prior Fees. If a streets facilities development fee has been paid previously to
the Town for an approved development on the same site, the Town shall adjust the amount
of the new impact fee due by subtracting the previous payment amount, uninflated, from
the total due.
Credit for Existing Uses. The demand for roadway capacity from a conforming developed
site may be subtracted from the impacts of a proposed new use or reuse in a special fee
study. Replacement of existing conforming uses of the same type and scale (number of
EDU) will have no fee assessed. Credit shall not be given for nonconforming existing uses
under any circumstances.
Credit for Improvements in the IIP. A developer may be credited for making improvements
contained in the IIP at an amount not greater than the estimated cost contained in the
most current IIP, which includes right-of-way costs. Partial improvements shall be credited
on a pro rata basis as determined by the Town. Dedications-of-rights of way only shall be
credited based on the presumptive right-of-way unit costs used in the preparation of the
Streets IIP, which is $30,000 per acre.

Council-Regular Meeting A2
Meeting Date:12/19/2017
To:Mayor and Council
From:Frank Cassidy, Town Attorney
Date:December 19, 2017
Strategic Plan Focus Area:
Not Applicable
Subject:Resolution No. 2017-114: Relating to Real Estate; approving and authorizing the
Mayor to execute a farming right-of-way license for Gladden Farms II subdivision
(except Block 29); and authorizing the Interim Town Manager to execute similar
farming right-of-way licenses (Frank Cassidy)
Discussion:
The Town has for many years issued right-of-way licenses to allow farming in dedicated but
unused public right-of-way located next to farm fields. With the recent completion of the
Tangerine Downtown Sewer Conveyance System (Marana Project WR010), Town staff has had
internal and external discussions about how best to allow farming to continue in dedicated public
right-of-way that is partially used (for example, by the construction of a sewer) but still capable
of being farmed. As a result of those discussions, Town staff has developed a standard farming
right-of-way license, the first signed example of which is presented today -- the license to farm
dedicated right-of-way in the Gladden II subdivision (except Block 29, owned by Northwest
Hospital). It is different in several respects from earlier Town-issued farming licenses:
It now contains specific conditions and restrictions associated with farming near a sewer line
The landowner, and not just the farmer, signs the license; recognizing that
farming of the right-of-way is only practicable for one who has the right to farm the
land adjacent to the right-of-way
the adjacent landowner's development activities also affect farming of the right-of-way
The license now expressly runs with the land, eliminating the need to re-do the license each
time there is a new landowner or farmer
Allowing farming in vacant or mostly-vacant public right-of-way benefits the Town, the public,
the surrounding landowners, and the farmer by maximizing the economically viable use of the
vacant dedicated lands and minimizing their associated maintenance and policing costs. Not
allowing it severely hampers the viability of farming the adjacent fields and creates a disincentive
Marana Regular Council Meeting 12/19/2017 Page 474 of 483
allowing it severely hampers the viability of farming the adjacent fields and creates a disincentive
to master planning and the early dedication of land associated with it.
If approved as presented, this resolution will authorize the Mayor to sign the Gladden II farming
license and will allow the Interim Town Manager to sign other similar farming licenses without
the need to return to Council for approval of each individual license. The resolution will also
authorize the Town Engineer, the person responsible for managing Town right-of-way, to
terminate or modify right-of-way farming licenses when the right-of-way is needed for Town
purposes incompatible with farming. The resolution would also waive the normal $1,000 license
fee for farming licenses, in recognition of the mutual benefits of the arrangement.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 2017-114, approving and authorizing the Mayor to
execute the Gladden II farming right-of-way license, and authorizing the Interim Town Manager
to execute similar farming right-of-way licenses.
Suggested Motion:
I move to adopt Resolution No. 2017-114, approving and authorizing the Mayor to execute the
Gladden II farming right-of-way license, and authorizing the Interim Town Manager to execute
similar farming right-of-way licenses.

RELATING TO REAL ESTATE; APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO
EXECUTE A FARMING RIGHT-OF-WAY LICENSE FOR GLADDEN FARMS II
SUBDIVISION (EXCEPT BLOCK 29); AND AUTHORIZING THE INTERIM TOWN
MANAGER TO EXECUTE SIMILAR FARMING RIGHT-OF-WAY LICENSES
WHEREAS many public roadways and easements dedicated to the Town of
Marana by the recording of subdivision plats are vacant or mostly vacant lands that are
not currently being used or fully used for the purposes for which they were de dicated;
and
WHEREAS farming within vacant dedicated lands located adjacent to existing
farm fields is in the best interests of the Town, the public, the surrounding landowners,
and the farmer by maximizing the economically viable use of the vacant dedicated
lands and minimizing their associated maintenance and policing costs; and
WHEREAS not allowing farming within vacant dedicated lands severely
hampers the viability of farming the immediately adjacent fields and creates a
disincentive to master planning and the early dedication of land associated with it; and
WHEREAS the Mayor and Council of the Town of Marana desire to license the
farming use of these vacant dedicated lands to maximize their beneficial use while
establishing restrictions where only a portion of the dedicated right-of-way width is
being used for public purposes such as public sewer lines and/or public roadways.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF
THE TOWN OF MARANA, as follows:
Section 1. The Town of Marana right-of-way license for farming in publicly-
dedicated right-of-way in Gladden Farms II subdivision (except Block 29) (the

meeting is hereby approved, and the Mayor is authorized to execute it for and on behalf
of the Town of Marana.
Section 2. The Interim Town Manager is authorized to sign on behalf of the
Town of Marana any future Town of Marana right-of-way license for farming in
publicly dedicated right-of-way located adjacent to existing farm fields with
substantially the same terms as the Gladden II Farming License, provided that the
substance of the license is approved in writing by the Town Engineer and the form of
the license is approved in writing by the Town Attorney.
