A shared access with the post office has been strongly recommended by staff. The land use designation for the Kohl's Retail Center is C* (Freeway Commercial) per the Continental Ranch Specific Plan.

HPJJH/Couucil/Bluesheeffrown Code Amend 06/24/03 TOWN COUNCIL MEETING INFORMATION DATE: 1, 2003 TOWN OF MARANA AGENDA ITEM: tX. A. 5 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Mayor and Council Jack Holden, Building Official Ordinance No. 2003.12 and Resolution No. 2003-72: Adoption of 2003 Marana Outdoor Lighting Code ' ' DISCUSSION: The Outdoor Lighting Code (OLC) is a locally developed code. This code has been in place for several years and was developed to protect both the natural beauty of the dark sky and the interests of our important astrological industry. The goal of the code was to limit the uses of lighting to limit the night glow from improper up-lighting and by limiting the type of light source in various designated areas. This new version of the lighting code has the same intentions as prior codes but does this by requiring shielded lighting while permitting more types of lighting sources limited by specific levels of lighting. This code also limits the effects of glare from light sources. This code is a mix of some aspects of the code used by Pima County and aspects of Oro Valley's lighting code. I believe that we have taken thc best from each code and improved upon the intended result of its application. We have not merely inserted "Marana" in the county's code but have rewritten many aspects of the code to apply to our vision of Marana. We have used the new code on several projects to test the elements of the code under the alternate methods section of the bmldmg code. We have found this new code to be workable and produced results that provide for safety and security while protecting the surrounding areas from unwanted light and glare. Staff recommends the adoption of the proposed resolution and ordinance. SUGGESTED MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. 2003.12 and Resolution 2003-72.
