Highlights
Chapter 17-6 “General Development Regulations”
•17-6-10 Height of buildings and structures
•Adopted by the Town Council on October 16, 2018 by Ordinance # 2018.019 as a revision to the existing Code,
setback allowances were modified and additional height allowed for ornamental elements of buildings.
In an oversight by staff, this ordinance language was never incorporated in the working draft of the 2021
comprehensive Land Development Code update and did not become a part of Town Code Title 17. This
action reinstates the previously adopted language into the Code.
Chapter 17-11 “Environmental Resource Preservation, Native Plant Protection, and Landscape Requirements”
•17-11-7 F.4. Landscape buffer matrix
•For ease of use and clarity, the existing tables are broken down into three tables with minor revisions.
•17-11-10 Maintenance & 17-11-13 Assurances
•Two sections updated and realigned to reflect current Town practices after revisions to grading requirements in
Chapter 17-13 “Standards for Grading and Related Site Work” in 2021. 5
Highlights
Chapter 17-14 “Hillside Development”
•17-14-5 (Average cross slope calculations)
•The addition of this section provides clarity for calculating cross slopes and the ability to set aside
natural areas in the calculation of the average cross slope of a residential site.
Chapter 17-15 “Floodplain and Erosion Hazard Management Code”
•Update is a result of the most recent audit from the Arizona Division of Emergency Management to keep
consistent with their model ordinance language. There are no substantive changes to the document.
Chapter 17-16 “Stormwater Management”
•Revised to reflect new requirements for stormwater pollution prevention enforcement from the Arizona
Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ). These requirements are part of the Town’s Municipal
Separate Storm Sewer System permit from ADEQ which was revised in September of 2021.
