Marana Ordinance No. 2004.07
Condition No. 6 states: ‘No two-story construction shall be provided within three hundred (300) feet of Cortaro Farms Road on the north and along the westerly property line, as delineated in the site analysis and tentative development plan.”
Condition No. 7 of the Ordinance allows
building heights of 24 feet on the parcels
within the rezoning area that are zoned
Neighborhood Commercial (NC)
Applicants requests a modification to
Condition No. 6, only as it applies to their
property, to allow two-story construction
on all of the 3.60 acre parcel

Staff Analysis
Staff Analysis
Applicants have confirmed that their two-story product is constructed at a height of less than 24 feet –the maximum allowed under the zoning
A review of the site and surrounding area
indicates that visibility to the north and east
from Oshrin Park is probably impacted
more by the two-story structures within
Willow Ridge Commons
The general area has changed considerably over the past 18 years including major improvements to CortaroFarms Road, the development of church sites, and the build out of Willow Ridge Commons

Staff Recommendation
This is a discretionary item for the Town Council to consider. Should the Council choose to approve this item, staff recommends it be subject to the recommended conditions in the draft Ordinance.
