Subject: Rancho Marana West Specific Plan Amendment – Monarch Planned Community
Administrative Amendment – 2nd Submittal (Case No. PCZ2203-001)
AGS-08
Dear Ms. Ross:
On behalf of Sunbelt Holdings, this letter respectfully requests an administrative amendment to the
Rancho Marana West Specific Plan (RMWSP). The purpose of this administrative amendment is two-fold:
1) allow for additional single-family detached homes and 2) reduce the width of the 'pedestrian path'
adjacent to the area in question. As you know, Sunbelt Holdings is in the process of platting portions of
Planning Area 1 of the RMWSP, particularly Parcels 8, 10, and 11 (or Blocks 13, 12, and 11 respectively of
the Final Block Plat of Vanderbilt Farms1, dated 2/2020 and the Amended and Restated Development
Agreement2 – see Attachment A and Attachment B) to develop a master-planned single-family residential
community known as Monarch. In conjunction with the adoption of Resolution No. 2018.34, which
realigned Lon Adams Road and offset it westerly from its originally proposed location, the Final Block Plat
of Vanderbilt Farms reconfigured Parcels 11, 12, and 13 (or Blocks 11, 10 and 9) as originally proposed in
the RMWSP. Figure 1 below demonstrates how the RMWSP Land Use Plan changed as a result of the road
realignment and reconfigured parcels for the area subject to this request. Attachment C: Revised Rancho
Marana West Land Use Plan provides the revised land use plan based on the block plat and the
corresponding block numbers as depicted in Attachment A and Attachment B.

AGS-08
As previously mentioned, the first amendment subject to this request is to allow for additional single-
family detached homes in Planning Area 1, Parcel 8 (Block 13), which is currently designated as Medium
High Density Residential (MHDR). Per the Specific Plan, the MHDR land use designation:
"… provides for and encourages development of multiple residence dwellings, which include varied
project amenities. The intent of the district is to permit medium high density urban development
with a mixture of similar intensities" (refer to Page V-13 of RMWSP).
MHDR allows multi-family residential projects, and single-family attached and detached homes. However,
the RMWSP limits where single-family detached homes can develop to only three Parcels within the
Specific Plan boundary; Parcel 6 in Planning Area 3 and Parcels 10 and 11 in Planning Area 1 (Blocks 12
and 11).
Since the Specific Plan was originally crafted, the Town of Marana has experienced significant growth in
this general area. As a result, the overall vision and plans for RMWSP and the surrounding land has since
evolved. For instance, the focus of the Town Center, which was initially envisioned to locate in the
northern 'notch' of the RMWSP, has shifted further north towards the interstate and is now focused in
the area between Town Hall and the Marana Road interchange. South of Barnett Road, initially
contemplated to develop with higher intensity residential uses and some commercial opportunities, has
developed as traditional neighborhoods dominated by single-family detached residences. These
subdivisions are well-loved and in high demand as they provide a mix of lot and home sizes to suit a variety
of households at a wide range of price points.
Given the current market demand for single-family homes, Sunbelt Holdings has received strong interest
from homebuilders for additional land to develop detached homes and alleviate inventory shortages.
Meanwhile, the market for attached homes remains sluggish, with very few companies building attached
housing types (duplex/triplex/townhomes) envisioned by the original Specific Plan for Parcel 8 (Block 13).
Consumers in the Arizona market have not embraced this type of home, preferring detached houses, even
in light of rising home prices. This is particularly the case in suburban areas like Marana.
The second amendment request entails modifying the width of the proposed 'pedestrian path' that runs
along the east side of Civic Center Drive and connects to the north side of Clark Farms Boulevard, and then
back out to Barnett Road along the east side of Parcel 13 (Block 9). As proposed in the RMWSP, this
pedestrian path was originally proposed to be a 10-foot path located within the Town Center Civic Loop.
A portion of the pedestrian path (the stretch currently extending northerly on Civic Center Drive from
Barnett Road) was installed when the Municipal Complex was constructed at only 5 feet wide, in conflict
with the 10 feet delineated in Exhibit VI-1: Pedestrian and Bicycle Circulation Concept.
To ensure continuity with the existing pedestrian path along Civic Center Drive and the sidewalks
anticipated to connect to the pedestrian path on the north of Clark Farms Boulevard to east and west,
Sunbelt Holdings requests to reduce the width of the proposed pedestrian path from a 10-foot sidewalk
to a 5-foot sidewalk. This treatment is also consistent with the existing sidewalks on the south side of Clark
Farms Boulevard constructed when Farm Field Five and Rancho Marana 154 subdivisions were built.

Per Section VIII.G.2 of the RMWSP,
"Certain changes to the explicit provisions in the Specific Plan may be made administratively by
the Planning Director or Development Services Administrator, providing said changes are not in
conflict with the overall intent as expressed in the Plan. Any changes must conform to the goals
and objectives of the Plan.
The Planning Director's or Development Services Administrator's decision regarding administrative
changes and determination of substantial change as outlined below shall be subject to appeal to
the Town Council.
Categories of administrative change include, but are not limited to:
a. The addition of new information to the Specific Plan maps or text that does not change
the effect of any regulations or guidelines, as interpreted by the Planning Director.
b. Changes to the community infrastructure planning and alignment such as roads, drainage,
and water and sewer systems that do not increase the development capacity in the
Specific Plan area.
c. Changes to development plan boundaries due to platting. Minor modifications to the
boundaries and acreages of the planning areas or adjustments because of final road
alignments and drainage will occur during technical refinements in the platting process
and shall not require amendment to the Specific Plan.
d. Changes to development standards that are in the interest of the community and do not
affect health or safety issues" (Page VIII-3 – VIII-4).
The request to allow detached housing falls within category d., as it is within the best interest of the
community to allow builders to respond to market demand and allow the neighborhood to continue to
grow during this market cycle. Additionally, detached residential housing is more likely to be embraced
by surrounding neighborhoods, so this change is not expected to cause any undue concerns from existing
area homeowners. Densities will be maintained as originally proposed, and the land use remains constant,
creating no adverse health or safety issues.
The request to amend the sidewalk falls under category b. We are not aware of any negative effects of
the existing 5' sidewalk and do not anticipate any resulting from the requested amendment. Reduction of
the sidewalk does not increase the development capacity of the Specific Plan, as the proposed adjacent
subdivisions are being platted at a lower density than originally targeted by the Specific Plan.
The proposed amendments necessitate the following revisions to the RMWSP (refer to Attachment D:
Revised RMWSP Pages).
1. Page IV-4, Exhibit IV-1: Land Use Plan - this exhibit was updated to include the block numbers
established by the above-mentioned plat and development agreement.
2. Page V-15, Section 2.i – this section was revised to include ‘Parcel 8’ as an allowable area for
single-family detached homes in the MHDR land use category.

3. Page VI-8, Exhibit VI-1: Pedestrian and Bicycle Circulation Concept – this exhibit was updated to
reflect the modified sidewalk width.
Attached are the proposed revised pages of the Specific Plan and the map showing how the block numbers
correspond to the Specific Plan planning area numbers. A revised Specific Plan will be provided upon
approval of the administrative amendment.
Thank you. Please let me know if you need any other information or clarification.

ATTACHMENT B: RESTATED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
in the Pima County Recorder's office on October 19, 2005, in Book 60 of Maps and Plats,
Page 39 (Sequence 20052030156).
H. On February 6, 1990, the Town Council created the Rancho Marana Specific Plan
by its adoption of Marana Ordinance No. 90.04,which established the zoning regulations
for an area that includes the Subject Property.
I. The Rancho Marana Specific Plan was amended by Marana Ordinance No. 99.13,
adopted on May 18, 1999, and recorded in the Pima County Recorder's office on May 28,
1999 at Docket 11057, Page 1189 (Sequence 19991030368), which placed the Rancho Ma-
rana Specific Plan land area located west of Interstate 10 (including the Subject Property)
into the "Rancho Marana West" sub-area of the Rancho Marana Specific Plan.
J. The Rancho Marana Specific Plan was further amended by Marana Ordinance
No. 2005.05, adopted on February 15, 2005, and recorded in the Pima County Recorder's
office at Docket 12494, Page 1421 (Sequence 20050350342), which substantially rewrote
the Rancho Marana Specific Plan for Rancho Marana West, including the Subject Prop-
erty. The Rancho Marana Specific Plan as amended by Marana Ordinance No. 2005.05 is
referred to in this Agreement as the " Rancho Marana West Specific Plan Amendment."
K. The Rancho Marana Specific Plan was further amended by Marana Ordinance No.
2008.14,but the amendments affected only the portion of Rancho Marana West known as
the "Town Center," located north of the Subject Property; consequently, the zoning reg-
ulations that pertain to the Subject Property are only those set forth in the Rancho Marana
West Specific Plan Amendment.
L. At the request of FCD and with the consent of all affected property owners, the
Town formed the Vanderbilt Farms Community Facilities District (the "VFCFD") on
April 19, 2005 by the adoption of Marana Resolution No. 2005-46, recorded in the Pima
County Recorder's office on June 2, 2005 at Docket 12565, Page 2026 (Sequence
20051060447).
M. The VFCFD consists of the entire combined land area of Vanderbilt Farms and
Farm Field Five.
N. Members of the Marana Town Council, who also act as members of the Board of
Directors of the VFCFD, have indicated they will not support the sale of VFCFD general
obligation bonds because the sale of general obligation bonds by the VFCFD will result
in associated property tax liability to all of the land area covered by the VFCFD,including
Farm Field Five.
O. With the Owners' consent, resolutions are being presented to the Board of Direc-
tors of the VFCFD and to the Marana Town Council for consideration on June 23, 2020,
which, if approved, will result in the VFCFD being dissolved and the Subject Property
being removed from all VFCFD property tax obligations.
P. Many changes have occurred since 2003, including without limitation the follow-
ing:

i. The Owners' plans for the use and development of the Subject Property.
ii. The Town's plans for construction of the Barnett regional drainageway, located
along the north side of the Subject Property.
iii. The Town's roadway plans affecting the Subject Property, including:
a) On May 16, 2007, the Marana Town Council adopted Marana Resolution
No. 2007-75, approving a final block plat for Gladden Farms Blocks 26-43 (the
Gladden Farms II Plat"),located south of the Subject Property,and relocating the
Moore Road/Clark Farms Boulevard intersection about 900 feet west of where the
intersection is shown on the Original Vanderbilt Farms Block Plat.
b) The Moore Road/Clark Farms Boulevard intersection as shown on the
Gladden Farms II Plat is shown on the Road Network Map included as Map 6.1.A
to the 2010 Marana General Plan adopted by Marana Resolution No. 2010-120 and
ratified by the voters at a special election held on May 17,2011.
c) On September 4, 2018, the Marana Town Council adopted Marana Resolu-
tion No. 2018-084, adopting a minor amendment to the transportation element of
the 2010 Marana General Plan, revising the Lon Adams Road alignment located
north of Clark Farms Road (running through the Subject Property) to align with
the existing location of Lon Adams Road on the western boundary of Ora Mae
Ham Park.
d) The Marana 2040 General Plan adopted by the Marana Town Council on
December 10, 2019 by Marana Resolution No. 2019-120 and set for voter ratifica-
tion on August 4, 2020 carries forward the Moore Road/Clark Farms Boulevard
intersection as shown on the 2010 Marana General Plan and the realignment of
Lon Adams Road adopted by Marana Resolution No. 2018-084, and adopts future
right-of-way widths of 250 feet for Moore Road within and adjacent to the Subject
Property (with additional width in the approach to the possible future Interstate
10 interchange), 150 feet for Clark Farms Boulevard from Lon Adams Road east-
ward,90 feet for Clark Farms Boulevard from Lon Adams Road westward,and 90
feet for Lon Adams Road and Civic Center Drive through the Subject Property.
Q. To address these changes, the Owners' consultants have prepared and submitted
to the Town a proposed "Re-Plat of Final Block Plat Vanderbilt Farms Blocks 1 thru 13
11A" (the"Vanderbilt Farms Re-Plat"),which(among other things)proposes to realign
and re-size major public roadways through the Subject Property to conform to the Town's
current and proposed General Plan, and splits former Block 11 into Block 11 and Block
11A to accommodate the realignment of Lon Adams Road.
R. Upon approval and recording of the Vanderbilt Farms Re-Plat
i. All of the Subject Property will be included within the Vanderbilt Farms Re-Plat.
00067496.DOCX/10 6/12/2020 1:59 PM

ii. FCD will own Blocks 1, 11, 11A, 12, and 13 as depicted on the Vanderbilt Farms
Re-Plat, and PEI will own Blocks 2 through 10 as depicted on the Vanderbilt Farms
Re-Plat.
S. The portion of Postvale Road located between Clark Farms Boulevard and Moore
Road was abandoned by the Original Vanderbilt Farms Block Plat, but has been in con-
tinuous operation as a public road at all times.
T. Upon approval and recording of the Vanderbilt Farms Re-Plat, the portion of Post-
vale Road located between Barnett Road and Moore Road will be abandoned in favor of
PEI (the owner of the adjacent blocks), but is expected to continue to operate as a public
road (along with the portion of Postvale Road between Clark Farms Boulevard and
Moore Road, discussed in recital S above); consequently, the Parties desire to accommo-
date Postvale Road's operation as a public road by PEI's issuance to the Town of a license
until Postvale Road's pavement is removed.
U. The Marana Development Services Director,acting in his capacity as Marana Plan-
ning Director, issued has issued two administrative changes to the Rancho Marana West
Specific Plan Amendment and applicable to portions of the Subject Property:
i. An April 18, 2019 administrative change, a true and correct copy of which is at-
tached as Exhibit A, reducing the street-side setbacks applicable to Commercial I
zoned parcels from 20 feet to zero.
ii. A March 24, 2020 administrative change, a true and correct copy of which is at-
tached as Exhibit B, relocating the "Commercial I" zoning designation on the Subject
Property from Original Vanderbilt Farms Block Plat Block 9 to Vanderbilt Farms Re-
Plat Block 10, and relocating the "High Density Residential" zoning designation on
the Subject Property from OriginalVanderbilt Farms Block Plat Block 10 to Vanderbilt
Farms Re-Plat Block 9.
V. Upon the recording of the Vanderbilt Farms Re-Plat,the zoning designation of each
Block of the Vanderbilt Farms Re-Plat, consisting of all of the Subject Property, will be as
follows (with "Block" referring to the particular block of the Vanderbilt Farms Re-Plat,
Block Size" being the size (in acres) of the block as shown on the Vanderbilt Farms Re-
Plat, "Parcel" referring to the Parcel number of the Rancho Marana West Specific Plan
Amendment, "Parcel Size" being the size (in acres) of the parcel as shown in the Rancho
Marana West Specific Plan Amendment, and "LU Designation" being the land use des-
ignation of the referenced Block and Parcel, with "MDR" being Medium Density Resi-
dential, "EC" being Employment Center, "MHDR" being Medium High Density Resi-
dential, and "C-I" being Commercial I):

W. On April 2,2019,the Marana Town Council adopted Resolution No.2019-027,des-
ignating as a protected facility the gravity portion of the Tangerine/Downtown Convey-
ance System (Town of Marana Project No. WR010, referred to in this Agreement as the
T/D Gravity Sewer") and requiring any land use with a sewer connection served by the
T/ D Gravity Sewer to pay a protected facility fee of$519.67 per single-family residence
or equivalent).
X. Various public water facilities,including non-potable water facilities with capacity
to serve the Subject Property (the "Rancho Marana Non-Potable Water Facilities") were
constructed pursuant to an "Agreement for Construction of Potable and Non-Potable
Water Facilities and Provision of Water Utility Service" between Monterey Homes Ari-
zona, Inc. and U S Home Corporation and the Town, recorded in the office of the Pima
County Recorder on June 10, 2005 at Docket 12571, Page 2724, which was amended and
extended pursuant to a "First Amendment to Agreement for Construction of Water Fa-
cilities and Provision of Water Utility Service" between Meritage Homes Arizona, Inc.
and the Town, recorded in the office of the Pima County Recorder on May 11, 2020 at
Sequence 20201320065.
Y. On May 5, 2020, the Marana Town Council adopted Resolution No. 2020-038, des-
ignating the Rancho Marana Non-Potable Water Facilities as protected facilities. The total
allocable fair-share cost to the Subject Property of the Rancho Marana Non-Potable Water
Facilities is $174,247.00. By dividing the 351.97 developable acres of the Subject Property
excluding 0.09-acre Block 4),the Town established a Rancho Marana Non-Potable Water
Facilities protected facility charge of$495.06 per acre for the Subject Property (excluding
Block 4).
Z. To the extent of the Subject Property, the Parties desire to completely amend, re-
state, and replace the Original Agreement with this Agreement.
AA. The development contemplated by this Agreement is in compliance with the
Town's adopted and approved General Plan(as defined in A.R.S. § 9-461).
BB. The development contemplated by this Agreement is in compliance with the Ran-
cho Marana West Specific Plan Amendment.

Nothing contained in this paragraph 9 will be deemed to prevent the Owners and/or the
respective Parcel Developers from entering into one or more recorded cost allocation and
reimbursement agreements with respect to the infrastructure obligations outlined above;
however, these cost allocation and reimbursement agreements shall not alter the infra-
structure obligation requirements of the Town as outlined above.
10. Drainage infrastructure. The drainageway land dedicated by and located along the
north boundary of the Original Vanderbilt Farms Block Plat,known as the Barnett Chan-
nel, does not yet tie in to the Santa Cruz River and is not yet a drainage channel. In lieu
of on-site detention and retention requirements, individual blocks of the Vanderbilt
Farms Re-Plat shall be permitted to drain into the Barnett Channel area, and to use the
Barnett Channel area for retention/detention, subject to engineering and hydrology ap-
proval. Upon completion of the Town's Barnett Channel project, any on-site retention
and detention requirements will be satisfied by draining the site into the Barnett Channel.
11. Barnett Channel dirt. Parcel Developers of individual blocks of the Vanderbilt
Farms Re-Plat may at their own cost and using their own contractor excavate dirt from
the Barnett Channel for use in connection with the development of the block, provided
00067496.DOCX/10 6/12/2020 1:59 PM
AMENDED AND RESTATED VANDERBILT FARMS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
10-
that the excavation is consistent with the ultimate design of the Barnett Channel and has
not previously been excavated.The Parcel Developer shall demonstrate to the satisfaction
of the Town Engineer that the resulting pit will drain within 36 hours. Nothing in this
paragraph or in this Agreement shall be interpreted to require the Owners (including
Parcel Developers of individual blocks of the Vanderbilt Farms Re-Plat) to construct
drainage improvements in Barnett Channel.
12. Sewers.
a. Offsite sewer. Each connection to the T/D Gravity Sewer shall be responsible for
payment of the protected facility charge of$519.67 per EDU for its fair-share portion
of the Town's cost to construct the T/D Gravity Sewer, payable upon application for
a building permit for construction to be connected to the T/D Gravity Sewer.
b. Offsite conveyance capacity. As of the date of this Agreement, the offsite sewer
conveyance system serving the Subject Property has line capacity limitations that are
discussed in the 2017 Sewer Impact Fee Infrastructure Improvement Plan adopted by
Marana Resolution No. 2017-090 dated September 19,2017. These conveyance capac-
ity limitations are currently scheduled to be remedied by a development impact fee-
funded Town construction project in the year 2021. When the Town determines that
the sewer conveyance system has reached its capacity, no further sewer connections
will be permitted unless and until the line capacity limitations have been remedied.
The Town will notify the Owners and each applicable owner of a block within the
Subject Property if and when the rate of development upstream of the line capacity
limitations causes the Town to believe that the conveyance system may reach its ca-
pacity before the development impact fee-funded Town construction project is ex-
pected to be completed. The Town will make every reasonable effort to provide the
notification early enough to allow the Owners,Parcel Developers, and other members
of the development community to avoid a temporary interruption of sewer connec-
tions by advancing the construction at their own cost.
c. Onsite sewers. Each respective Parcel Developer shall construct onsite sewers as-
sociated with the development of its individual block or blocks of the Vanderbilt
Farms Re-Plat pursuant to standard Town agreements to construct new facilities and
standard Town subdivision infrastructure assurance agreements, with any amend-
ments mutually agreed upon between the Town and the Parcel Developer of the in-
dividual block.
13. Water infrastructure.
a. Onsite potable water distribution system. The Parcel Developer of each individual
block of the Vanderbilt Farms Re-Plat shall construct onsite potable water distribution
infrastructure associated with the development of its individual block of Vanderbilt
Farms pursuant to standard Town agreements to construct new facilities and stand-
ard Town subdivision infrastructure assurance agreements, with any amendments
00067496.DOCX/10 6/12/2020 1:59 PM
AMENDED AND RESTATED VANDERBILT FARMS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
11 -
mutually agreed upon between the Town and the Parcel Developer of the individual
block.
b. Transfer of grandfathered water rights. After the termination of farming activities
and before development of one or more individual blocks of the Subject Property,the
Owners and/ or the Parcel Developer shall assign to the Town every portion of its
Irrigation or Type 1 Non-irrigation Grandfathered Groundwater Rights or Type II
Non-irrigation Groundwater Rights as those are defined by law as may be appurte-
nant to the property,and to execute and deliver all forms necessary to effect the trans-
fer of these water rights to the Town concurrently with the assignment.
c. Non-potable system. The Parcel Developer of each individual block of the Van-
derbilt Farms Re-Plat(except 0.09-acre Block 4) shall develop and construct a second-
ary non-potable irrigation system,dedicated to the Cortaro-Marana Irrigation District
in accordance with its requirements,to distribute non-potable water to common areas
and other landscaped areas owned or to be owned by the homeowners' association
serving the individual block of the Vanderbilt Farms Re-Plat.
d. Rancho Marana Non-Potable Water Facilities protected facility charge. The
174,247.00 fair-share contribution toward the Rancho Marana Non-Potable Water Fa-
cilities is divided among developable blocks of the Subject Property in proportion to
each block's size, as follows (with the "NP Contribution" column signifying how
much is owed for that individual block of the Vanderbilt Farms Re-Plat):

00067496.DOCX/10 6/12/ 2020 1:59 PM
AMENDED AND RESTATED VANDERBILT FARMS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
14-
b. The Rancho Marana West Specific Plan Amendment as amended by the Marana
Development Code shall control over the terms of this Agreement as to any zoning or
other legislative matter.
c. This Agreement shall control over the terms of Rancho Marana West Specific
Plan Amendment and the Marana Development Code as to any administrative or pro-
cedural matter.
21. Development review. The Subject Property shall be developed in a manner con-
sistent with the Development Regulations and this Agreement,which together establish
the basic land uses,and the densities,intensities and development regulations that apply
to the land uses authorized for the Subject Property. Upon the Parcel Developer's com-
pliance with the applicable development review and approval procedures and substan-
tive requirements of the Development Regulations,the Town agrees to issue such permits
or approvals for the Subject Property as may be requested by the Parcel Developer.
22. Town review and approval of plans.The development and construction of the Subject
Property and all public and private infrastructure related to it are subject to the Town's
normal plan submittal, review and approval procedures and construction inspection re-
quirements.
23. No partnership or joint venture. Nothing in this Agreement shall be understood or
construed to create or imply a partnership or joint venture between or among the Owners
and the Town.
24. Other development agreements. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude FCD or
PEI or their successors in interest from individually entering into one or more additional
development agreements with the Town to facilitate development on the real property
owned by FCD or PEI.
25. Cooperation and alternative dispute resolution.
a. Appointment of representatives. To further the commitment of the Parties to coop-
erate in the development of the Subject Property and the construction of the public
improvements discussed in this Agreement, the Town, the Owners, and each Parcel
Developer shall designate and appoint a representative to act as a liaison between the
Town and its various departments and the Owners. The initial representative for the
Town (the "Town Representative") shall be the Town Manager, and the initial repre-
sentative for the Owners shall be Donald M. Edwards or a replacement to be selected
by the Owners.The representatives shall be available at all reasonable times to discuss
and review the performance of the Parties in the development of the Subject Property
and the construction of public improvements needed to serve the Subject Property.
b. Non-performance; remedies. If any Party does not perform under this Agreement
the "Non-Performing Party") with respect to any of that Party's obligations under
this Agreement, any other Party (the "Demanding Party") shall be entitled to give
written notice in the manner prescribed in paragraph 26 below to the Non-Performing
Party, which notice shall state the nature of the non-performance claimed and make
00067496.DOCX/10 6/12/2020 1:59 PM
AMENDED AND RESTATED VANDERBILT FARMS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
15 -
demand that such non-performance be corrected. The Non-Performing Party shall
then have (i) 15 days from the date of the notice within which to correct the non-per-
formance if it can reasonably be corrected by the payment of money, or (ii) 30 days
from the date of the notice to cure the non-performance if action other than the pay-
ment of money is reasonably required, or if the non-monetary non-performance can-
not reasonably be cured within 30 days,then such longer period as may be reasonably
required, provided and so long as the cure is promptly commenced within 30 days
and thereafter diligently prosecuted to completion. If any non-performance is not
cured within the applicable time period set forth in this paragraph,then the Demand-
ing Party shall be entitled to begin the mediation and arbitration proceedings set forth
in this paragraph. The Parties agree that due to the size, nature and scope of the Sub-
ject Property, and due to the fact that it may not be practical or possible to restore the
property to its condition prior to development, once implementation of this Agree-
ment has begun, money damages and remedies at law will likely be inadequate and
that specific performance will likely be appropriate for the non-performance of a cov-
enant contained in this Agreement. This paragraph shall not limit any contract or
other rights,remedies,or causes of action that any Party may have at law or in equity.
c. Mediation. If there is a dispute under this Agreement which the Parties cannot
resolve between themselves,the Parties agree that there shall be a 45-day moratorium
on arbitration during which time the Parties agree to attempt to settle the dispute by
nonbinding mediation before commencement of arbitration. The mediation shall be
held under the commercial mediation rules of the American Arbitration Association.
The matter in dispute shall be submitted to a mediator mutually selected by the Own-
ers (collectively) and/or the applicable Parcel Developer and the Town. If the Parties
cannot agree upon the selection of a mediator within seven days, then within three
days thereafter the Town and the Owners and/or the applicable Parcel Developer
shall request the presiding judge of the Superior Court in and for the County of Pima,
State of Arizona, to appoint an independent mediator. The mediator selected shall
have at least five years'experience in mediating or arbitrating disputes relating to real
estate development.The cost of any such mediation shall be divided equally(half and
half)between the Town and the Owners and/ or the applicable Parcel Developer. The
results of the mediation shall be nonbinding on the Parties,and any Party shall be free
to initiate arbitration after the moratorium.
d.Arbitration. After mediation, as provided for in subparagraph 25.c above, any
dispute, controversy, claim or cause of action arising out of or relating to this Agree-
ment shall be settled by submission of the matter by the Town and the Owners and/ or
the applicable Parcel Developer to binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of
the American Arbitration Association and the Arizona Uniform Arbitration Act,
A.R.S. § 12-501 et seq., and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s)
may be entered in a court having jurisdiction.

Administrative Change to Rancho Marano Specific Plan
Vanderbilt Farms Blocks 9 and '10)
Dear Mr. Ziolko:
You represent FCD MARANA VENTURE I, L.L.C. ("FCD") and PEI CAPITAL VENTURE I,
L. L.C. ("PEI"),who collectively own all of"Vanderbilt Farms";specifically,all of the
blocks described in the Vanderbilt Blocks 1 thru 13 Final Block Plat (the "Original
Vanderbilt Farms Block Plat"), recorded in the Pima County Recorder's office on
July 13, 2005, in Book 60 of Maps and Plats, Page 7 (Sequence 20051340763).
In the context of negotiating with the Marana Town Attorney an amended
and restated development agreement for Vanderbilt Farms, you and the Town
Attorney have requested an administrative change to the Rancho Marano
Specific Plan, flip-flopping the land use designations of Parcels 12 and 13 of
Rancho Marana West"—the Land Use Plan included as Exhibit IV-1 to the Rancho
Marano West Specific Plan Amendment adopted by Marana Ordinance
No. 2005.05.
BACKGROUND
On September 4,2018,the Marano Town Council adopted Marana Resolution
No. 2018-084,adopting a minor amendment to the transportation element of the
2010 Marana General Plan,revising the Lon Adams Road alignment located north
of Clark Farms Boulevard (running between Blocks through Vanderbilt Farms) to
align with the existing location of Lon Adams Road on the western boundary of
Ora Mae Harn Park. This minor amendment relocated the major Clark Farms

Boulevard/Lon Adams Road intersection westward and flip-flopped the
functionality of Rancho Marana West Parcels 12 and 13.
ANALYSIS
Rancho Marana West Parcel 12 is an approximately 11-acre area of land with
an intended land use of "HDR"—"High Density Residential," that includes Original
Vanderbilt Farms Block Plat Block 10,containing 9.836 acres, located on the north
side of Clark Farms Boulevard, about 240 feet west of the Clark Farms Boulevard/
Lon Adams Road intersection as it existed before the adoption of Marano
Resolution No. 2018-084.
Rancho Marana West Parcel 13 is an approximately 9-acre area of land with
an intended land use of "C-I"—"Commercial I," that includes Original Vanderbilt
Farms Block Plat Block 9, containing 8.219 acres, located at the northwest corner
of the Clark Farms Boulevard/Lon Adams Road intersection as it existed before
the adoption of Marana Resolution No. 2018-084.
THE WLB GROUP has prepared and submitted to the Town on behalf of FCD and
PEI a proposed Re-Plat of Vanderbilt Farms (the "Vanderbilt Farms Re-Plat"),which
among other things) realigns westward the portion of Lon Adams Road located
north of Clark Farms Boulevard, to conform to Marana Resolution No. 2018-084.
Upon approval and recording of the Vanderbilt Farms Re-Plat,the functionality
of Blocks 9 and 10 will flip-flop.Vanderbilt Farms Re-Plat Block 10 will consist of 8.71
acres in substantially the same location as Original Vanderbilt Farms Block Plat
Block 10, but will now be located at the northeast corner of the major Clark Farms
Boulevard/Lon Adams Road intersection—a functionally appropriate location for
the "C-I"—"Commercial I" land use designation. Vanderbilt Farms Re-Plat Block 9
will consist of 11.91 acres in substantially the same location as Original Vanderbilt
Farms Block Plat Block 9, but will now have no adjacent intersection—a
functionally appropriate location for the "HDR"—"High Density Residential" land
use designation.
Section VIII. G. 2. c of the Rancho Marano West Specific Plan gives the
Planning Director authority to administratively change the Rancho Marana West
Specific Plan as a result of changes to boundaries and acreages caused by final
road alignment changes.
DECISION
Acting in my capacity as Marano Planning Director under the authority of
Section VIII. G. 2. c of the Rancho Marana West Specific Plan, I hereby
administratively change the Rancho Marana West Specific Plan by designating

PREFACE
The Rancho Marana Specific Plan Amendment was originally adopted by the Marana Town
Council on February 6, 1990. Then in May of 1999, the Plan was amended by the Council
to divide the Plan into two parts, the Rancho Marana East and the Rancho Marana West
areas. On October 17, 2000, the Town adopted the Northwest Marana Area Plan and has
begun the design and construction of the Marana Town Center which was a key
component of the Rancho Marana West Specific Plan Amendment in 1990.
This current amendment/revision is intended to bring the Rancho Marana West elements
of the Specific Plan into compliance with these new documents. Revisions to the Plan Area
include a relocation of Barnett Road, the extension of Tangerine Farms Road through the
western portion of the Plan Area, redistribution of open spaces, revised development
standards for the Rancho Marana West Specific Plan, new cross sections for Sandario
Road, Tangerine Farms Loop and Moore Road and a redistribution of residential densities.
In December 2004 the Town began a downtown planning process for the Town Center and
adjacent areas. For the purpose of this amendment/revision, these areas will be notated
as a"special planning area", which upon its completion will be addressed in detail by a
separate document. These revisions include both text and graphics. Where needed, land
use tables have been revised to reflect the changes made to the Land Use Plan.
This revision does not include any revisions to the area east of Interstate 10 known as
Rancho Marana East. Therefore, the Development Standards Section of this specific plan
amendment will address only the standards that will be applicable to the Plan area west of
Interstate 10, which is called Rancho Marana West.

l. SPECIFIC PLAN SUMMARY
This Specific Plan amendment establishes comprehensive guidance and regulations for
the development of approximately 754 acres located west of Interstate 10 within the
Town of Marana, Pima County, Arizona. The Specific Plan formulates the development
regulations; policies and programs for the implementation of the land use plan. This
Specific Plan amendment will replace the current Specific Plan. This Specific Plan is
regulatory, adopted by ordinance and is consistent with the Town of Marana's General
Plan. The Development Plan (IV), Regulations (V), and Implementation (IX) are regulatory.
The Devefopment Capability (III) and Design Guidelines (VI, VII, & VIII) are non-regulatory
but essential to the planning and development of the community's character.
The Rancho Marana West Specific Plan Amendment articulates planning considerations
for the site and imposes regulations and/or controls for development. This document is a
device to implement the General Plan. This document will be a suitable development
control mechanism, and when adopted by a jurisdiction will serve both a planning and
regulatory function.
There will be separate Master Developers for Rancho Marana West. Their
responsibilities include the engineering and implementation of the spine infrastructure
system(s), (which include roads, onsite detention/retention, and utilities) formation of
homeowners' associations and associated fees and assessments.
The authority for preparation of Specific Plans is found in the Arizona Revised Statutes,
Section 9-461.09. The law allows for preparation of Specific Plans based on the General
Plan, as may be required for the systematic execution of the General Plan and further
allows for the review and adoption of Specific Plans. As well, the Town of Marana
Ordinance 87.22 provides the uniform procedures and criteria for the preparation,
review, adoption and implementation of Specific Plans.

ll. INTRODUCTION
A.PURPOSE
The Rancho Marana West Specific Plan Amendment provides a guide for current
development and a vision for the fiuture. Located in the heart of Marana, it
envisions a thriving central municipal and business district with excellent
circulation, quality of development, character and aesthetics. The Specific Plan
amendment provides the framework in which a core area of Marana will be
developed into a functional Town Center. The site has been analyzed to determine
development capabilities while considering environmental conditions and existing
infrastructure.

C.AUTHORITYAND SCOPE
The Rancho Marana West Specific Plan Amendment has been prepared pursuant
to the provisions of the Arizona Revised Statutes, Section 9-461.09. The Arizona
Government Code authorizes jurisdictions to adopt Specific Plans by resolution as
policy or by ordinance as regulations. The Town of Marana Ordinance 87.22
provides the uniform procedures and criteria for the preparation, review, adoption,
implementation or amendment of specific plans by ordinance. Hearings are
required by both the Town Planning Commission and the Town Council, after which
the Specific Plan must be adopted by the Town Council to be in effect.
Rancho Marana West Specific Plan Amendment is a regulatory plan, which will
serve as the zoning for the subject property. Proposed development plans, or
agreements, preliminary plats and any other development approval must be
consistent with the Specific Plan. Projects, which are found consistent with the
Specific Plan will be deemed consistent with the Town's General Plan and
applicable Area Plans.
The intent of this Specific Plan is to provide a concise development plan for the
subject property. This Specific Plan will serve to implement the development of the
approved plan within the bounds of the regulations provided herein and will be
adopted by ordinance as a regulatory document.

lll. DEVELOPMENT CAPABIUTY
A.TOPOGRAPHY AND SLOPE
The Specific Plan area is currently used for agricultural purposes and is
characteristically flat. The site gently slopes down from the southeast to the
northwest and west. There are no restricted peaks or ridges, rock outcrops,
topographic features, or slopes 15% or greater on the site. Exhibit lll-1 iilustrates
the topography and slope of the Specific Plan area.
B.EXISTING LAND USE
Rancho Marana is located centrally within Marana's town limits. The current land
use is primarily agricultural and much of the property is currently being farmed.
Existing land uses within 1/4 mile radius include the Gladden Farms development
to the south; along the north boundary of the Specific Plan area are single-family
residences, Marana Junior High School, the Marana Library, the Marana Town Hall
and Ora Mae Harn Park. East of the site is vacant agricultural land and to the west
the land is currently agricultural fields. Existing features are depicted in Exhibit lll-2.
The Specific Plan area is accessible from five roadways. The east/west roadways
are Moore and Barnett Roads. MoQre Road, the southern boundary of the site,
has a 60' R.O.W. and is paved. Barnett Road, one-half mile north of Moore Road,
is a paved roadway with a 50' R.O.W. Additionally, Grier Road provides access via
Sandario and Lon Adams, all of which are paved.
The north/south roadways include Postvale, Sandario and Lon Adams Roads. Lon
Adams Road, perpendicular to Barnett Road, is paved, as is Sandario Road, which
is a section line road with a 90' R.O.W., and Postvale Road, which is unpaved, and
runs perpendicular between Barnett and Moore Road. Postvale Road runs along
the Section line between Sections 27 and 26 and has a 60' R.O.W.
lnterstate Highway 10 abuts the eastem portion of the site (See Exhibit lll-2) and
will provide direct access to the parcel in the future. Paved frontage roads exist on
both sides of Interstate Highway 10 and provide direct two-way access to the north
and south.
There are six areas scattered on the Specific Plan area that have farm-related
building structures (see Exhibit lll-2). There are two well sites, one located in
Section 26 and one in Section 28.
The Northwest Marana Area Plan Land Use Element identifies several land uses
within the Specific Plan area. A Town Center is shown in that portion of the Plan
Area in Section 27 north and south of the current Barnett Road alignment at the
intersection of Barnett and Lon Adams.

C.HYDROLOGY
in 1990, when the Rancho Marana West Specific Plan Amendment was first
adopted, the three principal sources of offsite runoff that continue to affect this
property include Santa Cruz River over-bank flooding, runoff from agricultural lands
south of Moore Road, and Tortolita Mountain foothill runoff. Analyses conducted as
part of this Specific Plan preparation assume that the proposed Lower Santa Cruz
River flood control levee is in place and over-bank flooding from the Santa Cruz
River is mitigated.
Runoff emanating from the agricultural land to the south collects at five points of
concentration on the south side of Moore Road. The analysis assumes that runoff
collecting on the south side of Moore Road all drains across the roadway and onto
the subject property when in fact a portion of the flow stays on the south side of
Moore Road and drains due west toward Honea Heights.
Exhibit lll-5 shows the points of concentration and 100-year peak discharge rates
for offsite runoff, which drains to the subject property. Run-off quantities from
existing agricultural land are small on a per-acre basis. Computations of the peak
discharge rates using the Pima County method found the 100-year peak flow rate
from the agricultural land to be 1 CFS per acre, and the unit discharge for the more
frequent events (2-year to 10-year retum period) to be negligible.
The analysis of Tortolita Mountain foothill runoff incorporated detailed hydraulic
routing studies to determine peak outflow rates from the CAP overshoot structures
and incorporated channel routing along the north edge of the Union Pacific
Railroad (UPRR) to determine the quantity of flow draining to the subject property
from the southeast (i.e. the Tangerine Road intersection area). The UPRR routing
analysis accounted for reductions in the quantity of flow arriving at the site because
of flow through the UPRR culvert and weiring over the railroad tracks.
The Specific Plan establishes the Report on Alignment and Cross Section
Alternatives for Tributary Drainage - The Lawer Santa Cruz River Flaad Control
Project," December 2, 1987. The results of this detailed routing study found:
1.That 3025 CFS drains along the north side of the UPRR to Concentration
Point #6. This runoff emanates from the area near the Tangerine
Road/Interstate 10 intersection and is principally comprised of flow from
Wild Burro Canyon. The quantity of flow at the Tangerine Road/Interstate
10 intersection is about 5800 CFS, but this discharge is reduced to 3025
CFS by the time of arrival at Concentration Point #6. The peak flow
reduction from 5800 CFS to 3025 CFS occurs as a result of flow passing
through UPRR culverts and weiring over the railroad between Tangerine
Road and the property. There is no known history of low weiring over the
UPRR suggesting that no major floods have occurred in recent time or
that the discharge valves may be overestimated by standard hydrologic
procedures. Overestimation may exist because of flow attenuation in the
broad, shallow, sandy bottom channels on the Tortolita Fan.
Rancho Marana West Specific Plan Amendment rr~~Revised March 18, 2005 roup~r i ~
n i-s
2.That 578 CFS emanating from CAP overshoots within section 23 arrives
at Concentration Point #7 {the entrance to the Adonis channel).
3.That 2312 CFS emanating from CAP overshoots within section 25 drain
to Concentration Point #8 afang the east boundary of the subject
property.
4.That runoff draining to Concentration Paints #7, #8, and #9 coafesce
along the north side of the UPRR and drain northwesterly adjacent ta the
railroad embankment. The existing culvert structure beneath the UPRR,
I-10 and frontage road drains 859 CFS onto the subject property west of
the transportation corridor. The remainder of the flow continues to drain
northwesterly on the east side of the railroad. Five additional UPRR
culverts north of the Adonis channel drain flow to the west side of the
transporkation corridor. A portion of this flow-through will drain westerly
south of Grier Road) and across the area of Rancho Marana within the
northwest quarter of Section 27.
What was not reflected in the hydrology study used in the preparation of the
originai Specific Plan is the Town of Marana's decision ta turn the Barnett Road
alignment into a 200' wide regional drainage facility. This drainage facility will not
only provide a solutian for the Tortolita Fan drainage but will also provide for a
portion a€ the on site drainage which wil! be created as a resuft of developing the
sits. As a result of this facility, Barnett Road will be reaEigned approxirnately 600
feet sou#h of its current alignment.
Cur'rently onsite runoff from the subject property drains due west toward the
Santa Cruz River. The onsite runaff accurs as sheet-flow, except where con~ned
or cancentra~ed by elevated roadways or canals.

D.VEGETATION AND WILDLIFE HABITAT
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed the pygmy owl as an endangered
species in March 1997. Under the Endangered Species Act, recove~y plans for
the conservation and survival of endangered and threatened species are
developed and implemented. The entire site is currently farmed for agricultural
purposes. There is no indigenous Sonoran Desert vegetation onsite.
The area does not contain any Class I or Class II wildlife habitats as identified by
Dr. Shaw, University of Arizona, far the Pima County Department of
Transportation & Flood Control District. A letter from the Arizona Game and Fish
Department lists no special status species onsite; see Appendix B. The U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service is currently mapping and establishing areas that would
qualify as suitable habitat or as recovery areas for the Pygmy Owl. Given the
agricultural history of this parcel, it is highly unlikely that it would be considered
as habitat or as a recovery area.

E.SOILS AND GEOLOGY
The subject property contains nine different soi! types, generally composed of a
laam substance. These soiis range from a very fine sandy foam to a silty clay
loam. During the various phases af development, these sails will serve as
structural or foundational material for building.
Engineering design considers several soil properties to be important to the
proper design of urban development. These properties include permeability,
shrink-swell, compaction, expansion, drainage and shear strength. Permeability
indicates the rate at which water moves downward through undisturbed soil
material. The texture, structure and porosity of each sail type determine its rate
of permeability. The potential for shrink-swell is indicated by the volume change
resulting from the shrinkage of the soil when it dries and swelling as it absorbs
moisture. The amount and type of clay in the soil type determine the shrink-swell
potential and the soil contractionlexpansion characteristics. Drainage af the soil
is a function of the soil's porosity. Shear strength is dependent upon several
factors: 1) soil origin, 2) thickness of the soil and 3) the soil's parent materiaE.
The Soils map, (Exhibit Ill-6) identifies the major soi! types fiound in the specific
plan area. All onsite soils are compatible with development, given the proper
engineering design. None of the onsite soils possesses a major hazard for
erosion. The following descriptions from the Sail Conservation Service provide
information about the characteristics of each sail type.
Agua Yery Fine Sandy Loam (Ag)
This soil variety is found on flood plains of the Santa Cruz River with slopas
generaliy less than one-half percent. Runoff is slow on this soil and the hazard of
erosion is slight or none. This soil type is commoniy used for urban
development.
Anthony Loam {Aoj
Anthany loam is level and nearly level soil and is found on the floodplain af the
Santa Cruz River, mostly near Marana. Gravel content in this soil is less than 15
percent and it is composed of well-drained sandy loams. This soil was formed in
mixed material that was deposited on flood piains and alluvial fans by rivers and
streams. Permeability of the sail is moderately rapid whiie runoff is slaw. Erasion
is not a problem with this soil type. Anthony loam is suitable for urban
development, materia! fior engineering work and water supply purposes.

Anthony Sandy Loam, 0 to 1 Percent Siopes {AhA)
Anthony Sandy Loam is located in the Santa Cruz Valley with gravel content
being less than 15 percent. The texture is sandy loam throughout the profile.
This soil formed in mixed material that was deposited on flood plains and alluvial
fans by rivers and streams. The vegetatian is mostly annual grasses, weeds,
mesquite, scattered palo-verde, creasotebush, saguaro and cholla cactus.
Runoff is slow on this Anthony soil, with erosion hazards being slight. This soil
type is appropriate for urban development and as a saurce of material for
engineering vvork.
Brazito Loamy Sand (Br)
This sail type is level or very nearly level and is found on flood plains in the Santa
Cruz Valiey. Brazito Sandy Loam was formed in alluvium deposited on flood
plains and fans and on valley slopes, with siapes being 0 to 3 percent.
Permeability of the Brazito soil is rapid with available water-holding capacity of 3
to 3 3/4 inches in irrigated areas and 9 to 11 inches in non-irrigated areas.
Runoff is slaw with slight erosion danger. The typical uses of this soil include
desert range and irrigated crops. It is suitable for development.
Brazito Sandy Loam (Bt}
This Brazito soil alsa occurs on level and nearly ievel flood plains of the Santa
Cruz Valley. The surface layer is sandy ioam ranging from 5 ta 16 inches in
fihickness. The soil shares the same general traits and suitability characteristics
as Brazita Loamy Sand, described in the preceding paragraph. It is suitable for
development.
Gila Sandy Loam (Ga}
Gila Sandy Loam is found on level and nearly level floadplains of the Santa Cruz
Valley. The runoff from this soil is slow and problems assaciated with erosion
are slight ar none. Although this soil type is primarily utilized for agricultural
uses, it is also commonly used for urban development.
Gila Loam, 0 to 1 Percent Slope {GbA)
This soil consists of well-drained soils that have a subsoi! of loam and very fine
sandy loam. Slopes of these soils are generally 0 to 3 percent. Soil permeability
is moderate with slow runoff and little chance of erosion, Gila soils are
commonly used far urban development and as a source of material for
engineering work.
Glendale Laam (Gd}
The Glendale series is camposed of wef{-drained loams formed in recent
alluvium deposited on flood plains and valiey plains. Slopes range from 0 to 1
percent. Permeability and runoff are relatively slow on this soil. Erosion is not a
problem in this series and the soils are suitable for urban development.

III-14
Grabe Loam (Gh)
This is a well-drained laam, which formed in recent alluvium deposited on fiood
plains, alluvial fans and valley slopes. Slopes run from 0 to 3 percent.
Permeabili#y is moderate and runoff is slow on this soil type. Urban devefopment
is compatible with this soil type.
Grabe Silty Giay Loam (Gm}
Grabe silty clay loam is similar to Grabe loam except for the fact that the surface
layer is silty clay loam, which runs from 6 to 12 inches thick. Runoff is slow on
this soil with little hazard of erosion. This soil is cammonly used as a source of
material for engineering work and for urban devefapment.
Pima Silty Clay Loam (Pm)
The only soil of the Pima series occurring in the area is found an flood plains in
the Santa Cruz Valley. Permeability of these soils is moderately slow and runoff
is medium, with the hazard of erosian being slight or none. These soils are aften
used for urban development and water supply, among other agricultural uses.
Vintan-Anthony Sandy Laam (Vu)
About $5 percent of this soil type consists af Vinton Sandy Laam and of Anthony
Sandy Loam, although an area may consist of Vinton or Anthony varieties.
Runoff is slow and erosion hazards are minimal. These soils are commonly used
for urban development and as a source of material for engineering work.
Geology
The propased Rancho Marana West development lies completely upon the
Santa Cruz River's youngest terrace deposits (Arizona Geological Survey, open-
file report 88-18). The terrace deposits may be as much as 60 feet thick locally,
however, they are generally thinner. The terrace deposits are typically comprised
of rewarked older terrace and Valley Fill material and are cut into the older,
underlying Valley FiH and terrace depasits. Several terraces are located along
the Santa Cruz River, however, only the youngest terrace appears to be present
within the Rancho Marana West Specific Plan Amendment area. The terraces
increase in age and elevation outward fram the Santa Cruz River channel. The
youngest and topographically lowest terrace lies adjacent to the river channel.
The youngest terrace is associated with modern flood plains of the Santa Cruz.
Soils:
Based on the existing literature and on experience with the soil conditians in the
area, the near surface deposits, in approximately the top ten (10) feet below the
existing ground surface, especially associated with the youngest terrace, will
cansist of sandy silt and sandy ciay sails. Locally, the sandy silt and sandy clay
soils will grade laterally into silty or clayey sand. These near surface soils will
Rancho Marana West Specific Plan Amendment Tr~~Revised March 18 2005 o~P~Bri~
III-15
likely be underlain by a relatively thin layer of inedium dense to dense sand,
which in turn is underlain by sandy gravel cobbles and boulders.
Development within the proposed Rancho Marana West Specific Plan area is
feasible fram a geotechnical standpoint. We anticipate that, in general,
residential or other similarly loaded structures and moderately loaded
commercial, retail or industrial buildings can be properly supported on
conventianal foundations which bear on properly compacted fiil, firm natural
ground, or properly prepared naturaf ground. Moderately to heavily laaded
structures wili generally require special foundation considerations depending on
their focations. The major geotechnical concems regarding development are 1}
the possibiiity of near surface loose or soft alfuvial soil across the site, 2} law to
moderately expansive clay, which can be expected #o be present locally across
the Santa Cruz River terrace, and 3) potential collapsible soil conditions which
are likely to exist along river terraces.
More detailed site specific investigations should be perFormed as part of the
platting and development plan process to 1) determine if expansive soils, loose
or soft surface soils, or potentially collapsible soils are presen# and how they will
impact the propased structures, and general development infrastructure
roadways and utilities, and 2) deveiop specific recommendations that pertain ta
specific site soil condi#ions.
Geology of the site is characterized by uncansolidated alluvium (material eroded
from rock formations). There are no rock outcrops an site and there are no
faults.
A soils letter fram GRC Gonsultants, fnc. is included as Appendix H.
F.ARCHAEOLOGY
The Arizana State Museum, as part of its Northern Tucson Basin Study,
conducted an archaeological survey of the Rancho Marana property in 1985.
During the course of the fiefdwork, three areas were recarded as archaeological
sites {AZ AA: 12:678, AZ AA: 12:680 and a portion of AZ AA: 112:684} within the
Specific Plan boundaries. In additian, within the Specific Plan area west of
interstate Highway 10, a prehistoric canal has been documented in the NW 1/4 of
section 26. The canal parallefs the Interstate for about 6Q4 meters (2,000 feet).
see letter from AZ State Museum, Appendix C}.
An initial archaealogical study has been completed for the Plan Area. The report
outlines a mitigation plan. The developer/builder shall be responsible for testing
and excavation of sites prior ta any ground disturbing activities (see Appendix
C'} per Section V.C.7.

G.EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC SERVICES
Schools:
The area encompassed by the Specific Plan lies within the Marana School
District Boundaries. There are two schools in the immediate vicinity. The
Marana Junior High School is adjacent to the northern boundary of the plan area
and Estes Elementary Schoof is north of Grier Road at 13650 N. McDuff Road.
Both schools have capacity far additional students.
Fire Services:
The Northwest Fire District currently services portions of the Specific Plan area.
The nearest ~re station is iocated at the southwest corner of Sanders Road and
Grier Road.
Natural Gas:
Southwest Gas Company provides service to the plan area. The Existing
Infrastructure map shows gas mains, which exist within 150 feet of the plan
boundaries. These mains run norfih and south within the Sandaria Road right-af-
way and then to the east within the Barnett Road right-of-way for approximately
one quarter of a mile.
A 60' easement for EI Paso Natural Gas runs from the northwest to the southeast
of the subject parcel (see Exhibit 1ll-~. This is a 10 3/4" high-pressure supply
line which runs to Phoenix. It is not a usable supply line.
Electricity:
Tucson Electric Power Company (TEP) serves the plan area.
There are three major electric lines in or near Section 26 (see Exhibit lll-~.
These are overhead ~4 kV lines which run along the east side of Postvale Raad,
the south side of Maore Road and the sauth side of Barnett Road. Section 27 is
alsa serviced by the 14 kV overhead line along Postvale Road, as weli as simiiar
lines which run aiong the south side of Barnett Road and the east side of
Sandario Road. Section 28 is serviced by the Sandario Road overhead iine and
the continuation of the Barnett Road line and a iine akong the south side af Moore
Road. The Existing Infras#ructure map delineates existing electric utility lines and
underground cables in the plan area.

industriaUCommercial Corridor
A regional shopping and employment center area will pravide the Town of Marana
and the regian wi#h needed services for the expanding northwest. This commercial
core is stra~egically located at future Moore Road/Interstate 10 interchange. This is
a key location for a majar shopping business facility. It wilf have excellent access
to I-10 and is convenisnt to the Town Center. Facilities such as Regional Malls are
strategically located to provide optimal service to a particular population area. The
regional shapping area will provide significant emplayment opportunities for
existing and future Marana residents, in close proximity to their homes.
Gommercial/Business Genters
The commercial centers are in agreement with the Northwest Marana Area Plan
and shall be concentrated at nade intersections. A node intersection and
commercial center is propased at the northwest corner of the intersection af the
new Clark Farms Boulevard alignment with Lon Adams Road. Specific users may
include gracery stores, drug stores, banks, garden or nursery centers, retail shaps,
business and professianal offices.
Residential Neighborhoods
A variety of residential neighborhaods will provide needed housing opportunities
for existing and future Marana residents. The proximity to ~he Town Center,
employment and recreational opportunities and I-10 wilC make these
neighbarhoods highly desirable.
D.CIRCULATION P~AN
The Rancha Marana West Girculation Plan {Exhibit IV- 2) supports the land use
plan by establishing the general layout af circulation for primary arteriafs and
secondary collectors. The proposed network provides easy interstate access for
Rancho Marana West residents and employees and interna! access within the
neighborhood. The Town af Marana Major Roates Plan is anticipated to be
amended in conjunction with the Town Center planning pracess; thus, the Rancho
Marana West Circulation Plar~ may require revisian prior ta February 2006.
Moore Road is proposed as a 250' right-of-way (ROV~. Ultimately, Moore Road
will be the major access route onto the property via a proposed interchange on
Interstate 10 per the Northwest Marana Area Plan and the Marana Master
Transportation Plan. The future interchange will be designed and constructed by
A.D.O.T. per their standards and requirements. Additional east/west access into
the Specific Plan area will be from Clark Farms Boulevard with a 90' ROW, except
between Civic Center Drive and Lon Adams Road where the ROW will be 134'.
Clark Farms Boulevard curves Southeasterly and intersects with Moore Road.
In the near term, Sandario Road will provide the North/South access into Rancho
Marana West Specific Plan area. Sandario Road has a 90' ROW and connects to
Grier Road, Marana Road and Interstate 10. Roadway cross-sections for the
Rancho Marana West Specific Plan Amendment are shown below in Exhibits IV-3
Rancho Marana West Specific Plan Amendment rr~~Revised March 18, 2005 roup~
IV-6
and IV-4. A right-of-way letter from F&D Associates, Inc. is included as Appendix
F. The cross sections are conceptual; the subject roadways will be designed and
built within the rights-of-way designated by this Specific Plan to current Town of
Marana standards.
Ultimately, Tangerine Farms Road will become the major North-South access and
act as a Loop Road for the area connecting the Tangerine Interchange with the
Marana Interchange.
One traffic roundabout will be provided within the Rancho Marana West Specific
Plan area. This traffic roundabout will be located at the Civic Center Drive and Main
Street intersection. Additional traffic roundabouts may be constructed where signals
are warranted.
All rights-of-way and roadway construction falling totally within the boundaries of the
Rancho Marana West Specific Plan will be the responsibility of the Rancho Marana
West Master Developers. Whole or half rights-of-way will be dedicated at the time of
plat recordation for Rancho Marana West.
Any half right-of-way dedications along the boundaries of the Rancho Marana West
Specific Plan Amendment will be dedicated at the time of plat recordation. The
Master Developer shall be responsible for paying their fair-share (on a per linear foot
basis) assuming no previously approved agreements have been approved by the
Town prior to the approval of this plan.
All traffic signs, including street name signs, and markings should conform to the
standards found in the most recent edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices and the Pima County/City of Tucson's (PC/COT) Signing Manual (May
2002). All traffic signs should be installed on metal square tube posts per the
PC/COT Manual. The placement of all traffic signs and markings shall be approved
by the Town of Marana prior to their installation.

E.WATER RESOURCE CONCEPT PLAN
As previously stated, in Section III.C, the implementation of this Specific Plan relied
heavily on completion of the Santa Cruz River flood control levee. Without it,
development would have only been able to occur on a limited basis. Small parcels
may only be able to be developed provided it can be demonstrated they do not
result in adverse impacts (such as diversion of flow) to adjoining properties and that
they are elevated to set the finished floor one foot above the FEMA regulatory water
surface elevation.
The concentration of offsite flow and increase in runoff due to development will alter
existing drainage conditions. The ultimate resolution to these changes must include
the construction of the "Barnett Road Channel", which will deliver both the onsite
and offsite runoff affecting the subject property to the Santa Cruz River. This need is
realized, but the plan must also provide an interim solution that does not require
substantial offsite channel construction. Optimally, the plan should provide interim
onsite solutions and allow future integration into a regional drainage plan, which
conveys runoff to the Santa Cruz River.
The plan developed to achieve this objective incorporates a system of collector
channels to capture offsite flow and a series of retention/ detention basins to store
both onsite and offsite runoff until the ultimate long-term drainage plan is completed.
These drainage solutions will be utilized, when possible, as community amenities
such as open space and drainageways with associated trail systems for walking,
jogging and bicycling. In addition, this multi-use approach provides opportunity for
water conservation and recreation facilities for the future residents of Rancho
Marana West.
Both the channels and retention/detention basins will be constructed in phases
paralleling the development phasing. Each phase of the drainage improvements will
provide adequate storage for offsite runoff and the additional runoff from onsite land,
which is caused by development. Exhibit IV-5 shows the concept drainage plan for
the Rancho Marana West Specific Plan area. A cross-section of the Barnett Channel
is illustrated in Exhibit IV-6.
Offsite runoff draining to, and onsite runoff draining from the portion of the property
east of Interstate 10 will drain either to the Adonis channel or to an existing UPRR
culvert for discharge beneath the transportation corridor and to the central collector
channel. The existing UPRR culvert has capacity to convey 859 CFS of the total
volume of flow arriving at the culvert inlet.
The remainder of the flow would drain northwest along the eastside of the UPRR to
other existing culvert systems beneath the UPRR and I-10 as occurs under existing
conditions. As stated in the analysis of existing conditions, a portion of the flow,
which drains through the five additional UPRR culverts will drain west and onto the
portion of the Rancho Marana West Specific Plan area within the northwest 1/4 of
Section 27. No analysis has been conducted to determine the exact quantity of flow
affecting this portion of the subject property; however, the design channel system
will incorporate an interceptor channel along the east edge of the property within the
northwest 1/4 of Section 27 to collect and convey this flow.

The width of the channel cross sections will vary depending on discharge. Depth of
channels will range from three (3) feet to six (6) feet, and side slopes will vary from
two (2) feet to four (4) feet horizontal to one (1) foot vertical. The banks of those
channels west of I-10 will be lined only where spillover interception occurs.
Preliminary hydraulic analyses found the velocity of flow for channels west of I-10 to
be less than six (6) ft/sec, so stabilization will be in the form of grass lining or other
landscape-compatible material. Implementation of the drainage solution is discussed
in Chapter VII: Specific Plan Implementation.
The collector channels which are to be constructed parallel to and on the south side
of Moore Road are for the purpose of intercepting sheet-flow emanating from the
agricultural lands to the south. The cross section of these interceptor channels will
consist of a 50-foot wide by 2-foot deep landscaped swale. These landscaped
swales will collect the sheet-flow, drain it westerly and northwesterly to the central
collector channel and retention/detention basins.
These drainage features, where possible, will be incorporated into recreational land
uses and will be landscaped.
They will be utilized as multi-functional elements providing opportunities for
community open space, recreation, trails (both community and regional), urban
green space, and wildlife corridors.
The nature of the site topography and existing drainage structures, irrigation canals,
and roads presents special design considerations, which must be integrated into the
plan to provide a functional drainage system. Most important of these considerations
are:
1.Integrating design channels with existing culvert structures beneath the
Union Pacific Railroad to allow functional discharge of their flow through
those culverts to their design capacity;
2.The method af collecting flow firam the eastbound Interstate 1Q culverk and
delivering that flow to the design channel system;
3.A method of providing outlet from the detention basins that transitions flow
to its existing sheet-flow condition and doas not result in any change in
flooding to downstream praperties; and
4.Integration of drainage improvements with Cortara-Marana Irrigation
District {CMID) canals.
To convey flow underneath the UPRR within existing culverts will require
maintaining natural grade at the culvert inlets on the eastside of the railroad. To
provide capacity and fiow cantainment, it will be necessary to minimize the
excavation and build up the east bank to maintain a hydraulic grade line, which is
high enough to allow functional use of thase culvert systems.
Two options exist for collecting the flow at the outlet af the I-10 east bound culvert.
One option will be to re-construct the frontage road at the crossing to provide the
Rancho Marana West Specific Plan Amendment r~~Revised March 18, 2005 o~P~
IV-14
ability to extend the Interstate 10 eastbound culvert westerly beneath the frontage
road, then capture flow within a drop inlet structure. The second option will be to
allow flow to cross over the frontage road within a dip section (as occurs under
existing conditions), then collect the flow within a drop inlet structure on the west-
side af the frontage road.
The outiet af the detention basin must provide a lang spillway section ta distribute
flow ta a sheet-flow condition and prevent impacts to downstream praperties.
Flc~odwaters stored below the outlet spillway must be discharged from the basin
via percolation or injection into #he graundwater table via dry well systems. More
detailed studies will have to be conducted a# the time of development to establish
percolation rates and whether ar not dry well systems will be needed.
Phasing out or re-routing af irrigation channels wilE be coordinated with the CMID
affice.
F.PUBLIC FACILITIES
All of the required public and private utilities are either currently available or will be
extended to serve Rancha Marana West.
ater
Rancho Marana West is within the Town of Marana Water service area. Domestic
water is available to serve this site. See Appendix G.
Sewage
At present, two wastewater lines are available, a 12" line alang Sandario Road
narth of Grier Road and an 8" line along Sandaria south of Grier Road.
Adequate capacity fior the entire build-out of Rancho Marana West does not exist,
at present, via Pima Caunty's Wastewater Management epartment. Pima
County Wastewater Management recommends that for limited commercial/pubiic
use, north of Barnett Road, septic tank and leaching fields will be adequate. Far
initial residential development, gravity sewage to the Marana Treatment Facility is
available. Rancho Marana West will have a public sewer system, which is
currently being upgraded by Pima County Wastewater.
The Master Developers for Rancho Marana West have agreed to participate within
the Eastern Sewer Interceptor Community Facilities Plan as approved by the Town
of Marana.
Private Utilities
Electricity, naturaf gas, telecommunications and cable N will be e~ended to this
site #hrough contractual arrangemen#s between the developer and the specific
private utility companies.
Rancho Marana West Specific Plan Amendment r-=,.^'~`~ Tr~~Revised March 18, 2005 ouP~Mri~
IV-15
Eiectric service will be provided by Tucson Electric in Rancho Marana West.
Natural gas service may be provided by Southwest Gas, telephone service by
Qwest, and cable service by an undetermined vendor.
Privats utifities will be placed within roadways, underground (where feasible),
designed and installed in accordance with utility company standards.
G.OPEN SPACE PLAN
Open space is a vital amenity enriching the quality of livable places. It provides an
oasis from urban development, creates recreatianal opportunities and establishes
buffers between varying land use in#ensities. Parks and open space systems give
neighborhaods identity.
A minimum 50' residential landscaped buffer shall be provided between the
existing residential homesites and the Rancho Marana West Specific Plan area
north of Barnett road and east of Sandario Road within Rancho Marana West.
The open space traversing the Specific Plan area wilf provide pedestrian
connections between the deuelopment area and community amenities. The open
space plan for the Specific Plan area is included as Exhibit lV-7.
H.RECREATION/T IL PLAN
The intent of the Recreation/Trail Plan is to provide far na#ural and man-made
recreation/open space features accessible within the Rancho Marana West
Specific Plan area. The recreation areas are integrated within the community to
provide physical separation, buffer zones and transitions between varying land use
intensities.
These open space areas shall be linked with a regional and community trail
system (see Exhibit 1V-7}.
The regional trail shall be a landscaped pedestrian path within the Maore Road
right-of-way south of the centerline of Moore Road. This trail is intended ta be a
major pedestrian link ta the future Santa Cruz Linear Park system and the Town
Center. The community trail system shall be smaller in scale, 25 feet, located
within the open space carridor. Secondary arterial and local callector streets have
sufficient rights-of-way to include a pedestrian trail/sidewalk system that will
provide additional community connections.
A trail cancept plan and general notes will be provided prior to approval of a
subdivision or development plan per Section V.C.9.

L LANDSCAPE PLAN
The landscape concept pkan identifies a hierarchy of landscape treatments,
apprapriate to Marana within the Rancha Marana West Specific Plan. The intent is
to create a recognizable identity, one which will promate and enhance a visian for
the community Town Center and region. Recommended plant materials, both
drought tolerant and specialty pfants, shall be as listed within Appendix E.
Landscape concepts for portions of the Specific Plan within the Town Center, per
the Northwest Marana Area Plan, will be designed in accordance with the Design
Guidelines for the Tawn Core. The Landscape Plan for the Specific Plan area is
illustrated in Exhibit IV-8.
The landscape plan is comprised of:
Streetscape
Entry Monumentatian
Open Space/Recreation/Drainageways
Roadways are the community's mast visible feature. Establishing the basic theme,
framework, and plant palstte will ensure a cohesive image and character far
Rancha Marana West Specific Plan Amendment area
The Landscape Plan as shown on Exhibit IV-8 identifies the major streetscape
elements in the Rancho Marana West Specific Plan area. Specialty, Primary and
Secondary Streetscapes are delineated on the exhibit. Specialty streetscape, to
emphasize the community core, is located along the perimeter of the Town
Center. The primary and secondary streetscape will provide a safe and aesthetic
progression along the major thoroughfare. The difference between the two
streetscapes will be in scale. They will include a formal theme with a variety of
plant types at varying distances to create an urban or village town core setting.
The perimeter of the Town Center shall have a formal streetscape planting.
Streetscape plantings will differentiate between parts of the area and create a
more specializsd, identifiable town core.
The hierarchy of entry statements is planned so that major entry statements
identify the community, and secondary entry features identify individual
developments and the Town Center. The entry features will include landscapir~g,
signage, and lighting providing the Specific Plan area with a distinct identi#y.
J.SCHOOLS
Marana Unified School District has been cantacted. We will con#inu~ to wark with
the District to determine their needs and how best to address those needs.

Vl.RANCHO MARANA WEST DESIGN GUIDELINES
A.INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to provide for specific design criteria and
standards for the Rancho Marana West planned community, excluding the Town
Core. Design guidelines specific to the Town Core will be addressed in a separate
document. The location of the project and conceptual land use plan for Rancho
Marana West is illustrated in Exhibits ll-1 and IV-1.
This Design Standards document establishes iogica! standards fia snsure that the
development is an asset to the community and praceeds in an orderly, attractive
manner which meets the expectations af the owners and the Town of Marana.
Further, these standards serve ta provide compliance with the Town of Marana
General Plan, and the Rancho Marana West Specific Plan Amendment.
The southern portion of Rancho Marana West, south of Clark Farms Boulevard,
will utilize an agrarian theme to unify and give identity to the project. This theme
will blend with surrounding development, specifically Gladden Farms to the south.
The northern portions of this project will combine the agrarian theme with more
formalized landscapes to tie into the design concept of the Town Core.
Higher intensity uses within this project will be located along the northern property
boundary, adjacent to the Marana Town Core, as well as along Interstate 10. This
configuration allows the medium density portions of Rancho Marana West to be
located adjacent to the proposed residential development to the south.

D.GRADING AND DRAINAGE
The site for Rancho Marana West is an existing agricultural field with flat grades of
less than 0.5 percent. The design concept for the project is to create a minimal 0.5
percent slope across the site to ensure adequate drainage and to retain the 10-
year and 100-year stormwater flows on site. This will be accomplished by
directing the storm water flows to the Barnett Linear Park which will serve as a
temporary retention basin and, when completed, conveyance of storm water to the
Santa Cruz River. The following standards are incorporated in the Rancho Marana
West design:
Standards
1.Rancho Marana West is designed to accommodate drainage in accordance
with the Northwest Marana Area Plan as specified in the preliminary and
final block plat.
2.All retention areas shall be drained within a 36-hour period of time if they
are holding the entire 100-year storm.
3.All retention basins shall be designed to be as shallow as possible with
multiple uses encouraged particularly recreational and open space. The
design shall not preclude or discourage riparian area establishment.
4.The portion of the Barnett Linear Park along the northern boundary of the
development will be excavated and will function as an interim retention
area until the channel is completed to the Santa Cruz River.
5.On site retention may be required prior to the completion of the Barnett
Linear Park to the Santa Cruz River. This retention area will be designed
so that it may be altered to provide flow-through to the Barnett Linear Park
upon completion of that channel to the Santa Cruz River.
6.Basins requiring security fencing are specifically prohibited.
7.All riprap, erosion protection rock, shall be "Apache Brown" color, or a
similar color accepted by the Master Developer and The Town of Marana.

E.CIRCULATION SYSTEM
The layout of traffic corridors within the project reflects the existing public street
network and is specifically designed to unite residential, recreational, public
facilities, and commercial activity areas into a coherent system.
Approach and entry shall be effectively designed to announce the transition into
the Rancho Marana West project. Points of entry announce to the homeowner
and visitor alike the beginning of a familiar or new experience. By using a variety
of materials, accent plantings and accent masonry, and by combining placement
and scale, a fresh entry expression is projected for Rancho Marana West. The
Landscape Design Standards section addresses specific entry feature designs for
Rancho Marana West.
The arterial corridors within the project area are reinforced by the incorporation of
a variety of plant palettes, offering a balanced sense of continuity while
maintaining a clear diversity.
In addition to vehicular facilities, Rancho Marana West will provide a
comprehensive pedestrian and bicycle circulation system. Multi-use lanes will be
provided along arterial and collector streets, and pedestrian paths will provide
access to the open space system.
1.PedestrianlBicycle Circulation
Pedestrian-friendly communities are made possible through well-designed
and efficient circulation systems. Pedestrian spaces and routes should be
designed to invite non-vehicular traffic throughout the Rancho Marana
West community. Pedestrian and bicycle pathways shall be planned such
that they connect all open space and development areas. These circulation
routes should be recognized as recreational amenities and as alternatives
to automobile circulation. A pedestrian and bicycle circulation concept for
the Rancho Marana West Specific Plan Amendment is illustrated below in
Exhibit Vl-1.
Standards
a.Bicycle and pedestrian paths shall be designed to minimize conflicts
with vehicular traffic.
b.Bicycle parking should be provided at focal points, recreation areas
and activity centers.
c.Bicycle and pedestrian paths shall be developed to provide access
to all open space and development areas of the Rancho Marana
West project.

Vlll. SPECIFIC PLAN /MPLEMENTATION AND ADM/NISTRATION
A.Purpose
Development will be implemented in conformance with the regulations and
guidance contained within this Specific Plan. This section provides information
regarding general administrative and amendment procedures.
For the purpose of identifying those responsible for implementation of the
improvements for the Rancho Marana West Specific Plan Amendment area, three
entities must be identified. These are the Master Developers, the Builder, and the•
Custodial Agency.
The Master Developers are the entity responsible for ensuring the basic
infrastructure facilities are planned and constructed to serve the development
areas within the Rancho Marana West Specific Plan Amendment.
The Builder is the purchaser of a development area, or portions of a development
area, responsible to build or provide for building within their areas of ownership.
B.Proposed Changes to Zoning Ordinances
The Development Regulations section of the Specific Plan addresses only those
areas that differ from the Town of Marana Land Development Code. If an issue,
condition or situation arises that is not covered or provided for in this Specific Plan,
those regulations of the Town of Marana Land Development Code that are
applicable for the most similar issue, condition or situation shall be used by the
Planning Director and the Development Services Administrator as the guidelines to
resolve the unclear issue, condition or situation.
C.Site Plan and Architectural Review Process
The Site Plan and Architectural Review process shall follow the Rancho Marana
West Design Guidelines, as outlined in this document. The Town Core is
designated as a"Special Planning Area". Review processes for the Town Core
shall be addressed in a separate document.
Rancho Marana West Specific Plan Amendment Tr~~Revised March 18, 2005 o~P~wri~
VIII-2
D.Development Review Procedure
The development review procedure for Rancho Marana West shall be
implemented through the review and approval process of preliminary and final
plats by the Town of Marana and through the Town of Marana building permit
approval process. Final decision on grading, drainage, final road alignment,
revegetation and other matters will be made at the final plat stage.
Review process shall include the Master Developers as follows: No structures
including signs, shall be erected, improved or altered, nor shall any grading,
excavation, tree removal or any other work which in any way alters the exterior
appearance of any structure or area of land be commenced unless it has been
approved in writing by the Master Developers or designated Design Review
Committee (DRC).
All proposed subdivision within the Rancho Marana West Specific Plan
Amendment shall be required to submit plans to the Master Developers or DRC for
approval prior to submitting to the Town for approval and permitting. Subdivision
plats shall be approved by the Town of Marana in accordance with Town of
Marana procedures.
Final plats shall require the approval of the Town Council.
E.General Implementation Responsibilities
The Specific Plan shall be implemented through the subdivision review process.
This process will allow for the creation of lots as preliminary and final plat maps
which allow for implementation of the project. The Rancho Marana West Specific
Plan will guide the platting process with other official Town of Marana ordinances,
policies, maps, and regulations.
Implementation of the Rancho Marana West Specific Plan shall be the
responsibility of the developer, builders and the custodial agency in accordance
with the regulations and guidance contained within the Specific Plan, unless
otherwise noted. These entities shall be responsible for the engineering and
implementation of the spine infrastructure. The spine infrastructure systems are
defined as those systems that are necessary to provide development opportunities
to the Rancho Marana site. These systems include access roads, residential
collectors and associated streetscapes, trunk sewers, irrigation, water mains,
electric lines, gas, fiber optics, and phone lines and cable television facilities in the
major streets. Once these spine infrastructure systems are put into place, the
builder may be responsible for implementation of facilities within the spine
infrastructure system that would be damaged or destroyed by secondary
development if installed by the developer.
