TOWN COUNCIL MEETING INFORMATION MEETING DATE: TOWN OF MARANA May 22, 2007 AGENDA ITEM: D. 1 TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL FROM: Kevin Kish, AICP, Planning Director SUBJECT: Presentation: An update for the 2007 General Plan Process with a discussion of the Future Town Planning Area. DISCUSSION This presentation will include discussion of a proposed Planning Area for the 2007 General Plan, and also provide an update and a general description of the planning work underway. Marana Planning Area An expanded planning area, or area of influence, is an important part of planning for future growth and development. In order to consider change and impacts from adjacent lands that are not within the Town, the planning area extends well beyond current Town boundaries. This planning area is important for our work with the 2007 Marana General Plan for several reasons: . Orderly Growth Defining patterns of growth that are compatible with the Marana General Plan. · Area of Influence Establishing a means to plan and influence change in adjacent areas. · Development Activity Continually tracking development activity and improvements that may affect Town growth and infrastructure needs. · Adjacent Jurisdictions Establish close working relationships with adjacent jurisdictions to coordinate planning and development. · Future Annexation Establish long range plans for potential annexations. The planning area for each past Marana General Plan has grown in area along with the growing area of the Town. In 2003, the Town was 118 square miles with 154 square miles in the expanded planning area. In 2007, Marana is 120 square miles with a proposed planning area of 242 square miles. The proposed 2007 planning area has not changed significantly from 2003 south and east of the Town. These areas are more urbanized and have established development patterns. The planning area does extend further west to Trico Road to include large, undeveloped land areas, and north into Pinal County. With significant growth envisioned in Pinal County, the expanded planning area lies from the CAP Canal east ofI-10 and extends through Red Rock and west of the Santa Cruz River. 052207 General Plan Update Status and Planning Area Review TC TC Project Status Town staff is working in several areas for this 2007 update, including: · Public Outreach Formation of focus groups, citizen commission meetings, HOA coordination, public open houses (summer). . Report Preparation On-going work with the general report (formatting, mapping, coordination). . Plan Elements Continuing work on revising and updating plan elements (land use, circulation, environment, etc.). · Project Schedule · Town Website ATTACHMENTS Copy of staff power point presentation on the Marana Planning Area and Project Status.
