COUNCIL ACTION
Al PUBLIC HEARING: Ordinance No. 2022.011: Relating To Transaction Privilege
Tax; amending Marana Ordinance No. 2021.022 to exempt the sale of Manufactured
Buildings, pursuant to Town Tax Code Section 8-427, from the one-half cent tax increase

approved by Ordinance No. 2021.022; and designating an effective date (Yiannis
Kalaitzidis)
[6:47 PM Minutes] Mayor Honea open the public hearing to receive public testimony on
this item.
Finance Director Yiannis Kalaitzidis provided an overview of Ordinance No. 2022.011
amending Marana Ordinance No. 2021.022 to exempt the sale of Manufactured Buildings,
pursuant to Town Tax Code Section 8-427, from the one-half cent tax increase approved
by Ordinance No. 2021.022; and designating an effective date. He explained that in
October 2021, the Council approved an amendment to the Town Code to increase the
sales tax by one-half cent to be used specifically for the design and construction and
furnishing of the multigenerational community and aquatics center. The categories
chosen at that time for the tax increase were similar to those that the Town used to pay
for the construction of the public safety facility a few years ago.
At the same time, the Town took the same approach to include a provision that excluded
big-ticket items — anything that was a single item in excess of $5,000. Unfortunately, that
original ordinance from last October 2021 did not exempt manufactured buildings. Town
staff has before Council an amendment to Ordinance No. 2021.022 seeking Council's
consideration of proposed Ordinance No. 2022.011 to include manufactured buildings in
the exemption category from the half -cent increase.
The impact to Town revenues should be immaterial overall, as any increase in such big-
ticket items, it is hoped that it has the potential to increase interest to shop in Marana,
which would offset any revenues lost. If Council approves the ordinance amendment,
Town staff would follow-up with the appropriate notices, including a notice to the
Department of Revenue. That would allow them to make that change that is proposed,
effective by November 1, 2022.
[6:49 Minutes:] Mayor Honea closed the public hearing. No comments offered during
this public hearing.
Vice Mayor Post, moved and Council Member Ziegler second the motion approving
Ordinance No. 2022.011. Motion passes unanimously, 7-0.

Background on Impact Fees
■ Authorized under A.R.S. §9-463.05
+ Can only be used (and credits given) for new improvements, not maintenance.
• Can NOT be used to improve existing deficiencies - only build equivalent level
of service.
• Must be for a proportionate share
Impact Fee Calculations
1. Determine existing level of service and users of the infrastructure
2. Calculate Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) relationships between land uses
3. Forecast growth in the next 10 years - Land Use Assumptions (LUA) Document
4. Determine infrastructure needed to serve the future growth - Infrastructure
Improvement Plan (IIP)
5. Divide infrastructure needed by EDUs
6. Assign credits for concurrent revenues (if applicable)
Land Use Assumptions - 2022
■ Updated early 2022
o Accounts for recent significant increases in growth and permits
o Developments in construction assumed to be completed before new fees
are implemented
■ Revised 10 -year population and employment forecast
o Residential and commercial growth estimated at subdivision level

Council Member Ziegler stated after hearing the presentations and listening to the
changes that are preparing to occur, as well as those that have happen in the last 18
months, there is a need to revisit these plans that come before the Council.
The following individuals provided public testimony and/or submitted statements for
the record.
Allyson Solomon submitted the following comments to the Town Council on this matter.
Metropolitan Pima Alliance (MPA) has been an active member in the Town's update to
their impact fees. Identified by the Town as a stakeholder, MPA was invited to and
attended that meeting in which staff and the consultant presented the proposed LUA and
Regular Council Meeting Summary Minutes
August 3, 2022
Page 19
IIP. The session was informative and provided us with the opportunity to ask questions
and raise some initial concerns. Many of those concerns are still outstanding but we are
committed to continuing to collaborate with staff to, hopefully, resolve them.
Unfortunately, none of our members were able to attend the one stakeholder meeting
(mentioned above). We have shared the proposed LUA and IIP documents with our
members and have been receiving feedback and questions, some of which we have
passed onto staff and have been answered, some we are still awaiting.
Because of this, we respectfully request that you continue tonight's public hearing until
we are able to further work with staff to resolve some of our concerns, and be provided
additional information pertaining to the two documents and the data used to prepare
them.
Ben Bueuler-Garcia speaking on behalf of the Arizona Multi -housing Association stating
that the AMA reflects a lot of concerns and issue raised in the July 29 letter from the
Southern Arizona Homebuilders Association. They look forward to Town staff response
to some of those concerns as well as working with them to go forward and resolve some
of the issues in ensuring that we have the best plan for Marana. He respectfully requested
to have the public hearing continued to have those questions and concerns addressed, so
to allow additional comments to come forward.
Mayor Honea stated that he had been in communication with senior Town staff and
knew the request was coming. The Town had posted each of the scheduled meetings with
the appropriate time associated with them. The Town has interacted with everyone that
expressed a question or comment on the steps that the Town is taking. If the Town does
not stay on its timeline, the Town would lose a couple of months of impact fees on record.
That he is not going to grant that request. That he would close the public hearing.
Council Member Comerford stated with what she is reviewing, they still have ample
time to meet with staff, as the Council will consider the item during its September 6,
Council Meeting. They have until the month of October to work out any details. She does
not think it matters whether it is an open meeting —public hearing. They still have the
opportunity to meet with Town staff and work towards a solution. That nothing is final
until December 6, as there is still many opportunities.
Mr. Burruel stated the Town is continuing with dialog with SABHA, and have a planned
scheduled meeting based on their comments and responses. The Town will be sending
to SABHA those comments once all information has been consolidated. Based on some
of the comments received, the Town has looked at some of the documents, and would
make some minor adjustments to increase clarification to some of the questions received.
Staff would not change the intent of those documents or the data, but adding clarification.

Council Member Kai stated the MPA has had some suggestions and concerns as well.
He asked Mr. Burruel whether the Town would be working with this group to address
those concerns. Mr. Burruel affirmed that the Town would be working with the group
as well, as their concerns have been based on the Land Use Assumption. Town staff has
provided information to them. That many of their questions were based on methodology,
and how the Town engaged and worked the development community.
[7:44 PM Minutes:] Mayor Honea closed the public hearing.
A3 Resolution No. 2022-077: Relating to Real Estate; approving and authorizing the
Town Engineer to execute an Easement Amendment and an Easement Encroachment
Agreement with El Paso Natural Gas Company (EPNG) specifying EPNG's consent for
dedicated public improvements encroaching inside the gas line easement within the
Saguaro Bloom subdivision (George Cardieri)
Real Property Manager George Cardieri provided a brief overview of the item stating El
Paso Natural Gas Company also known as EPNG has an existing 10 -inch high-pressure
natural gas transmission pipeline and corresponding easement, which date back to 1933
as identified as the yellow line on the overhead map. Through the developer dedication
process, the Town has come to own public rights-of-way including underground water
and sewer lines align with public drainage ways and open space located within the
Saguaro Bloom subdivision.
EPNG has requested from the Town an easement amendment to refine the width of the
easement from 30 feet to 50 feet, and an easement encroachment agreement specifying
EPNG's consent for public improvements constructed within or across their easement.
The three primary crossings are Saguaro Peaks Blvd., Garnet Range Loop and Crooked
Peak Trail. Town staff has been working diligently with EPNG to prepare the two
agreements for execution assuring a full understanding of the request and verifying the
exactness of the public improvements already constructed within the easement.
Vice Mayor Post, moved, and Council Member Kai, second the motion to approve
Resolution No. 2022-077. Motion passes unanimously, 7-0.
A4 Resolution No. 2022-078: Relating to Development; approving and authorizing
the Mayor to execute the First Amendment to Rancho Marana Development Agreement
between the Town of Marana and Meritage Homes of Arizona, Inc. (Jane Fairall)
Town Attorney Jane Fairall provided an overview of proposed amendment to the
Rancho Marana 154 Development Agreement (DA) stating Town staff had been
working on this since prior to the former Town Attorney Frank Cassidy's retirement.
He had presented to Town Council on this item in October 2020. The original
Regular Council Meeting Summary Minutes
August 3, 2022
Page 111
development agreement was dated August 20, 2004, and a number of changed
circumstances have led to this a DA amendment.
That, as Town staff negotiated one issue, another issue come up, which brought about
delays on four main issues. She reviewed the four main issues, one of which Mr. Cassidy
spoke to Council about two years ago. It had to do with reimbursement for the regional
public infrastructure the roadways in the development. The original DA obligated the
developer to construct Tangerine Farms Rd. from Moore Road north of Barnett Road and
Clark Farms Blvd., from Sandario to the western boundary of the project.
Clark Farms has been built as required. Tangerine Farms Road is the first phase
completed from Moore Road north to Clark Farms Blvd. Clark Farms to Barnett has not
yet completed, as it is the remaining phase. Based on the impact fees of this development,
these streets are in the IIP that Alejandro spoke on. Based on the magnitude of this
regional transportation obligation, the developer has received full credit against the
northwest streets impact fee as required by state law. However, even with the full credit,
they are still a delta --and what their costs are versus what they were receiving a
reimbursement.
The proposed DA would provide them with construction sales tax reimbursements for
construction on the Rancho Marana property only if and only to the extent that the total
amount of the impact fee credits does not make them whole, and also they would in know
event that get more than when construction sales taxes generated from the property. That
is the main of issue, and there are some numbers in the DA. There are some projected
numbers but the numbers that we know are that they spent about $1.8 million thus far.
The regional transportation costs and there are estimated to spend about $1.5 million
additional to complete the obligation. They have already received just shy of $1.9 million
in impact fee credits, and projected to receive another $1,045,000 for blocks three and four
and from the commercial blocks in the subdivision.
The estimated difference is about $440,000 is what we would be talking about in
construction sales tax reimbursement. Former Town Engineer Keith Brann had
estimated that the development generated about $1.2 million of construction sales tax
what left remaining to build in Rancho Marana. Other issues that came up over the course
of this negotiation, Tangerine Farms Sewer Improvements, which will be built as part of
the roadway construction, are included in the IIP that was presented to Council during
this meeting.
If they are in eventually in the adopted IIP, then the developer will be reimbursed for
those costs and expenses through impact fee credits on the wastewater facilities impact
fee. That is specified in the DA amendment. There was another issue with offsite and
onsite recreation requirements. The that the DA with a little odd and became very
specific, about very specific recreational requirements including landscaping along
Regular Council Meeting Summary Minutes
August 3, 2022
Page 112
Tangerine Farms Rd, and median strip. It, also, went into detail about the Barnett
Channel. The Barnett Linear Park changed a lot as far as what we intend to do with the
Barnett Channel at the Barnett Linear Park.
The developer revised its landscape plan that complies with new subdivision
recreational standards that were adopted by Council last year. The DA proposes that
they will have to construct what is required by the new landscape plan. Regarding the
Barnett Linear Park, as we are not developing it in the way that was originally
discussed in the DA, they will not be required to do those improvements. However, the
Town Engineering team wanted to require them to grade the Channel to its final
dimensions, and steel dry wells, or other devices to allow the Channel to function at the
basin, and to install materials for stabilization of the Channel. That is required by this
amendment.
Lastly, the Barnett Road connection is not an obligation of the developer, and it was not
in the original DA. However, when Mr. Brann was still here, he had spoken at length
and negotiated with the developer and its consultants to take advantage of economies
of scale and to avoid us having to do any tearing up of Tangerine Farms Road at the
location. They will design and construct the crossing in there the Barnett Culvert
Bridge, and the Town would reimburse them, as it is our obligation and is included
within this DA amendment.
Council Member Craig asked why the Town would allow them to collect construction
sales tax to cover the extra cost of the impact fees that they are not fully reimbursed. The
developer made that calculation when they originally agreed to the development
agreement, and they are not doing it out of the goodness of their hearts, and are making
profits by selling the homes. When the Town does not receive total reimbursement for a
road that we build because the impact these does not reimburse it we just have to suck it
up. Ms. Fairall responded stating it is Council's decision, but essentially the feeling with
Tangerine Farms Road, in particular, is that it is the major road that needs to be developed
in this area of the town. That it is a game changer to get Tangerine Farms Road from I-
10 on the South, and looped around I-10 on the north. That was the reason why the Town
entertained this suggestion. That was key and felt that it warranted throwing something
more into the reimbursement to make them whole, so that the developer were
disproportionately paying for something that has such a huge region impact, and it is
very specific to Tangerine Farms Road. It is her belief that the negotiation we have had
with the developer about this particular road being so important.
Council Member Craig asked whether the Town is setting a precedent that, we would
renegotiate these things if a developer were not made whole. Ms. Fairall replied stating
this is regarding this one particular road, and the special circumstances that the Town
believes apply to this road. The developers are aware of what agreements we enter into
with other developers; she cannot ensure Council that the Town would not be asked to
Regular Council Meeting Summary Minutes
August 3, 2022
Page 113
look at other DA's that are 15 years old and see if there are changes that were add
something different. Again the Town has tried to emphasize that at Tangerine Farms
Road, in particular, is a very significant and unique situation.
Mayor Honea stated that several members of Council were involved a few years ago
with this project. The roadway through their project does not necessitate four (4) lanes.
The Town is asking the developer to build the road much larger to scale to make it a
through pass way. That is why the Town had agreed to pay a little more because they
are making the road larger than the neighborhood necessitates. It has become a major
thoroughfare.
Council Member Comerford commented stating that if the Town had not improved the
road, it would eventually have to pay for it, as it has to be done. Ms. Fairall stated does
need to be done.
Council Member Kai asked whether the Town has a problem with the DA amendment
being extended 15 more years. That, if the term is shortened, the developer can build
those houses, as well as get the road done. Ms. Fairall replied stating I felt that a 15 -
year extension was probably more than the developer need, and that it will be done
sooner rather than later. She did not believe that it would delay the project in anyway.
Council Member Kai moved, and Council Member Officer second the motion approving
Resolution No. 2022-078. Motion passes unanimously, 7-0.
