Exhibit A to Marana Resolution No.2024-097
I. PROJECT OVERVIEW
On behalf of SBH Marana, The Planning Center is proud to present Monarch at Rancho Marana West,
also known as 'Monarch,' an approximately 249-acre Special Planning Area located within the Rancho
Marana West Specific Plan (RMWSP). Similar to the Rancho Marana West Town Center Specific Plan
Amendment approved in 2008 by the Town Council, Monarch at Rancho Marana West intends to
establish flexible development standards and regulations for the vacant 249-acre area to allow for
additional residential opportunities and other non-residential activities in a location within proximity to
Town Hall and currently burgeoning with market interest and development.
To achieve this,a major amendment to the RMWSP is proposed to delineate Monarch as a Special Planning
Area within the Specific Plan.Just as the Town Center amendment did, Monarch at Rancho Marana West
aims to establish a branded and stand-alone regulatory document for the master-planned community SBH
Marana intends to develop. Monarch at Rancho Marana West proposes to alter the existing land use
designations and development regulations of the RMWSP for the 249-acre area to better align with the
Vanderbilt Farms Final Block Plat approved in 2020, the surrounding development patterns, and the
Town's current land development code while addressing the current housing challenges in the greater
community.
Monarch looks to include opportunities for additional housing options, including single-family residences,
multi-family communities (build-for-rent or garden-style apartments), and assisted-living facilities, as well
as opportunities for other employment-generating and freeway-oriented commercial uses.The flexibility
this amendment affords allows Monarch at Rancho Marana West to develop in a manner responsive to
current and future market trends and fluctuations.
A. LOCATION AND EXISTING CHARACTERISTICS
Monarch at Rancho Marana West is in North Marana, generally south of the Marana Municipal
Complex and Ora Mae Harn Park in Sections 26 and 27 of Township 11 South, Range 11 East. The
subject property is bordered by Barnett Road to the north, Lon Adams Road to the west, Moore
Road and Gladden Farms to the south,and Interstate 10 (1-10)to the east. Monarch consists of eight
parcels within the Vanderbilt Farms Block Plat (refer to Sequence No. 20201810353), which are
mainly used for agricultural purposes or are vacant. Right-of-ways for Clark Farms Boulevard, Lon
Adams Road, Moore Road, and the Barnett Channel are included within the planning boundary and
remain as originally planned. EXHIBIT LA: LOCATION MAP and the table below (TABLE LA: PARCEL
DETAILS) describes the parcels included in this major plan amendment request. It should be noted
that the acreages listed in Table I.A have been adjusted to reflect the acreages for each block as listed
on the approved re-plat of the Vanderbilt Farms subdivision.

B. BACKGROUND
SBH Marana has diligently worked with the Town of Marana for the past few years to establish plats
for the western portion of Monarch (Blocks 1, 11, 12,and 13). In 2022,an administrative amendment
was approved to RMWSP to allow for additional single-family homes in Block 13 in response to
market interest received by the homebuilding community. In April 2023, final plats were approved
and recorded for Blocks 1, 11, 12 and 13 (refer to EXHIBIT I.A: LOCATION MAP for the location of
these blocks). Additionally, these blocks are not included in this proposed amendment but are still
part of the overall Monarch Master Planned Community. Despite the shift in market demands due to
interest rate increases, SBH Marana continues to receive interest from both residential and non-
residential users at Monarch as it is the next logical progression for development between Town Hall
and Gladden Farms.
An amendment to the RMWSP is being pursued to position Monarch to respond to current and
future market interests as a result of the anticipated workforce growth associated with the Southern
Arizona Logistics Center and the future 1-10 interchange at Moore Road.
C. MAKE MARANA GENERAL PLAN 2040
According to the Marana General Plan, Make Marana 2040, Monarch at Rancho Marana West is
located within the Central Growth Area and has a land use designation of Master Planned Area(refer
to EXHIBIT I.C: MAKE MARANA 2040 GENERAL PLAN MAP).The Central Growth Area will function
as the central activity hub, providing new residential developments that support robust commercial
activities and opportunities for gathering spaces, employment, shopping,dining, and the like. Monarch
at Rancho Marana West furthers the Town's vision for the Central Growth Area as it increases
development flexibility so that this area of Marana can provide a range of housing options and other
non-residential uses that serve the surrounding communities. Delineating Monarch as a Special
Planning Area within the RMWSP affords opportunities for housing diversity in an area that is
otherwise dominated by single-family residences and promotes the conversion of fallow former
farmland into an attractive master-planned community in the heart of Marana. As echoed in Make
Marana 2040 and RMWSP, Monarch aims to promote connectivity and accessibility to housing,
employment,goods and services, and recreation opportunities.
In addition to furthering Make Marana 2040's vision for the Central Growth Area, Monarch is
consistent with and supports the following goals and policies:
• Goal BE-7 — Residential areas are well-served by a full range of supporting land uses that
contribute to a balanced community.
o Policy BE 7-1 —Incorporate the full range of uses to support the ultimate build-out
population in development proposals for large scale residential areas that support the
neighborhood community.
o Policy BE 7-2 — Promote a walkable community by centrally locating institutional
uses, civic uses, public spaces, and open spaces within the residential developments.
Exhibit A to Marana Resolution No.2024-097
• Goal BE-27 — Marana maintains a diverse housing stock that accommodates the various
housing needs of all residents.
o Policy BE 27-2 -- Encourage a range of housing types, housing sizes, and lot sizes
that foster a variety of options, such as detached single-family homes, attached single-
family homes, and multi-family units that increase choices throughout the community.
• Goal PC-24 — New residential developments feature accessible park and recreational
amenities that are integrated and connected to the Town-wide network.
o Policy PC 24-3. Support the development of recreational facilities in existing and new
residential developments.
• Goal PC-33 — Marana's neighborhoods are thriving, desirable destinations for current
residents and relocating families
o Policy PC 33-3 — Encourage an appropriate mix of land uses and amenities within
neighborhoods that enhances the overall quality of life and provides proximity to daily
needs for residents.

II. PLAN AMENDMENT PROPOSAL
A. PURPOSE
Marana has experienced tremendous growth in the past few decades due in part to the successful
planning of master-planned communities as well as the continued housing growth in support of
commercial uses and employment areas. SBH Marana seeks to continue this pattern of effective
growth by developing the vacant 249-acre site known as Monarch at Rancho Marana West in a manner
that is responsive to current market demands.
The establishment of flexible development standards and regulations for Monarch at Rancho Marana
West will allow for additional housing options, as well as other non-residential activities in an
attractive location near Town Hall, which is currently burgeoning with market interest and
development.
In order to achieve this, this major amendment to the RMWSP proposes to:
1. Delineate Monarch as a Special Planning Area similar in nature to the nearby Marana Town
Center Special Planning Area to allow SBH Marana to tailor development parameters for
Monarch that align with their branded vision for this master-planned community and are
consistent with the original Specific Plan's vision.
2. Establish a stand-alone document utilizing RMWSP as a foundational basis,with alterations to
the overall land use plan and development regulations to better align with the Town's current
land development code and to allow for residential and non-residential developments that
align with current market trends and the surrounding communities.
3. Update the land use plan to reflect anticipated lot line reconfigurations (i.e., revise the lot
lines for Blocks No. 9/10 to include the portion of Block No. 10 that is bifurcated by the El
Paso Natural Gas Line into Block No. 9, and the lot line for Block 2 to establish a new block
'Block 2A').
4. Address the need for approved conveyance of Block 4 (Parcel 27)to the Town of Marana.
B. EXISTING LAND USE PLAN
The 249-acre site currently contains a variety of land uses that are intended to provide a variety of
housing options and commercial/employment opportunities along major streets or the interstate with
lower-intensity residential uses located internal to those.As demonstrated in EXHIBIT II.B: EXISTING
LAND USE PLAN,the site's existing land use designations include Medium Density Residential (MDR),
Medium-High Density Residential (MHDR), High Density Residential (HDR), Commercial (C-1), and
Employment Center (EC). TABLE II.B: EXISTING LAND USE PLAN SUMMARY details each
development as it currently exists within the RMWSP.

C. PROPOSED LAND USE PLAN
In order to develop Monarch as the branded community SBH Marana envisions, revisions to the land
use designations are proposed to allow for development in response to current market conditions.
The Monarch at Rancho Marana West Land Use Plan proposes to modify the land use designations
for Blocks No.2,10,and 11A,(or Parcel Designations 11A,13,and 23)from their current designations
— MDR (Block 2), MHDR (Block 11A) and C-1 (Block 10) to HDR (Blocks 10 and 11A) and MHDR
and C-1 (Block 2/2A).The Monarch Land Use Plan also reconfigures the lot lines for Block 10 (Parcel
Designation 12) to incorporate portions of Block 9 (Parcel Designation 13) that the El Paso Natural
Gas Line bisects, creating a larger Block 10 and smaller Block 9. The portion of Block 2 bisected by
the El Paso Natural Gas Line creates a new block, 'Block 2A', in anticipation of a future re-plat. All
public rights-of-way as dedicated to the Town per revised Vanderbilt Plat and the El Paso Natural Gas
easement are to remain unless modified at the time of development in conjunction with the Town
Engineer and Town Attorney, and El Paso Natural Gas Company (refer to EXHIBIT II.C: MONARCH
AT RANCHO MARANA LAND USE PLAN).
Monarch at Rancho Marana West also proposes to include additional by-right uses to the Employment
Center (EC) land use designation that are supportive and compatible with the existing and planned
neighborhoods. Such uses may consist of multi-family residential in accordance with HDR land use
designation as listed herein, indoor self-storage facilities, assisted living/memory care facilities, drive-
thru restaurants, communication towers, and other compatible uses listed in the C-1 land use
designation within the RMWSP or the Town's Village Commercial (VC) zone.Additionally, Monarch
at Rancho Marana proposes to modify the allowable commercial uses with the C-1 land use
designation so that permissible uses are more in line with the Town's Neighborhood Commercial
(NC) Zone and more compatible with the existing/proposed residential communities than those
currently listed in the RMWSP.

revisions to the land use plan and provides the anticipated density, dwelling unit ranges, and target
unit count.
