Regular Council Meeting Summary Minutes 02/16/2021 LIQUOR LICENSES BOARDS, COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES COUNCIL ACTION Al PUBLIC HEARING: Ordinance No. 2021.001; Relating to Development; approving a rezoning of approximately 40 acres of land located east of Interstate 10,south of Tangerine Road, and west of Breakers Road from Zone C - Large Lot Zone to Heavy Industry (HI) (Brian D. Varney) [6:37 PM Minutes:] Mayor Honea opened the public hearing to receive testimony on the item. Senior Planner Brian Varney provided an overview of the proposed rezoning of approximately 40 acres of land located east of Interstate 10, south of Tangerine Road, and west of Breakers Road from Zone C-Large Lot Zone to Heavy Industry. (The full video on this item is available for viewing on the Town's website at www.MaranaAZ.gov) Council Member Craig inquired as to the existing Marana water line service area stating she did not think the water line extended to that property site area. Mr. Varney stated the owner, Paul Oland, would bring an existing line to the site, as it serves north of the site and terminates up into that area, but that the owner would extend the line to the south. Marana does serve that property area. Council Member Craig stated she had hope the Town would use the line from the new residential construction is paying to bring over, and there would be impact fees generated from that. She asked whether the owner would be able to utilize the Mandarina water service line for its project. Mr. Varney stated he is not sure whether that would occur. Council Member Kai asked what the water requirements would be for this project. Mr. Varney stated the owner would need water flow for the building on the site. They will also need it for fire flow to provide fire suppression for the RV storage and interior storage. He does not believe the contractor's yard would require much fire suppression. Definitely, the self-storage area would require sprinklers. Council Member Kai asked whether Marana Water would be able to supply those needs. Mr. Varney stated in his opinion,the Marana Water Department has confirmed that they would be able to provide service to property, and has approved the request for service on that property. Council Member Comerford asked what type of barrier would surround the property. Mr. Varney replied stating when the Town draft the development plan, those types of things would be provided in detail. There will be some type of security barrier, possibly a decorative type fence, or a wrought iron simulated fence. The owner would want to secure the site to keep people out. The development plan may mimic the plan with Premier, landscape buffering as well as street finishes. Regular Council Meeting Summary Minutes 02/16/2021 Paul Oland, Owner of Paradigm Land Design, LLC addressed the comments related to screening stating the building from the Tangerine direction would block almost the entire view from the contractor's yard. He is excited about the buildings as they are looking to introduce an indoor RV storage unit. This is not something that is seen in this industry, and believes there will be a strong demand for it. He believes that the indoor condition space will be good and successful. R-Con Construction will relocate to this area, as they are currently located in Pima County. This company does much business in town, but they are looking to relocate its headquarters to Marana. He commented on the contractor's yard stating (referring to the map) is a concept that Paradigm is looking to incorporate on two or three of the larger lots. This is a concept that has taken over in the Phoenix area whereby it is a smaller lot with 24-hour security that is used by smaller contractors. Typically, small business owners whose business is ran from its residence, and the HOA does not permit the owner to park their work trucks on the roadway. He stated they accept all conditions; however, would like to use some water for operations, but not for irrigation. Council Member Ziegler asked whether the site would have security cameras. Mr. Oland replied yes. [6:47 PM Minutes:] Mayor Honea closed the public hearing.

The Town is awaiting information on this. On the state level, it is business as usual, and he referenced the legislative report that was provided to Mayor and Council. He stated SB1405; one that the Town is tracking very closely, as it has significant impact on the town from a financial standpoint would provide some additional funding for Tangerine Roadway.
