(a) Report from City Manager MAY11-98-247 WII

(b) Report from Zoning Examiner dated January 30, 1998.

(c) This item was continued from the March 23, 1998, Mayor and Council Meeting. The Zoning Examiner’s recommendation was appealed by the Carriage Hills Neighborhood Association, a party of the record, on January 29, 1998, in accordance with Section 5.4.5.14 of the Land Use Code (LUC). The LUC requires that an appeal of the Examiner’s recommendation be heard at a public hearing before the Mayor and Council. *The public hearing was held on March 23, 1998, and, at the end of the public hearing, closed by a vote of 7 to 0. After the close of the public hearing, Mayor and Council voted 5 to 2 (Council Members Anderson and Ibarra voted Nay) to continue the case to a future date in order to allow the applicant additional time to meet with the neighborhood.

The applicant is Rick Engineering Company on behalf of the property owner, the Jane Robb Trust. The request is to rezone approximately 11.93 acres from RX-1 to R-1 zoning. The property is located approximately 575 feet south of Speedway Boulevard and 1950 feet east of Pantano Road (west side of Robb Wash) with an extension north to Speedway on the Kent Drive alignment. The preliminary development plan is for 45 one-story, single-family residences on 11.93 acres utilizing the Residential Cluster Project (RCP) option of the Land Use Code for a density of 3.77 units per acre. The Planning Department recommends approval of R-1 zoning, subject to the conditions and a provision for vehicular access to the existing Kent Drive to the south. The Zoning Examiner recommends approval of R-1 zoning, subject to the conditions including no vehicular access to the existing Kent Drive to the south. The City Manager recommends approval of R-1 zoning, subject to the following conditions.

1. A subdivision plat, in substantial compliance with the preliminary development plan dated October 27, 1997, and the Design Compatibility Report, is to be submitted for approval in accordance with Section 5.3.8 of the LUC, including, but not limited to:

a. No vehicular access to the existing Kent Drive to the south.

b. Natural vegetation (other than Desert Broom) shall be preserved along the proposed trail adjacent to Robb Wash.

c. All buildings shall be limited to one-story and a maximum of 16 feet.

d. All structures, including walls and houses, shall be constructed of building materials of a natural color or painted a color which will blend with the native vegetation.

2. There shall be a sidewalk meeting Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements on the east side of Kent Drive in addition to the one on the west side of the street.

3. A drainage report shall be submitted and approved, including details of retention/detention.

4. Due to the proximity of Robb Wash (an unstabilized channel) to Kent Drive (a public street), the applicant shall install necessary erosion protection and/or establish an appropriate erosion hazard setback as determined by the approved drainage report.

5. All required or proposed masonry screen walls shall be graffiti-resistant. Those visible from a public street shall incorporate one of the following decorative materials: (a) tile, (b) stone, (c) brick, (d) textured brick/block, (e) a coarse-textured material such as stucco or plaster, or (f) a combination of the above materials and, if continuous for more than 75 feet in length and 3 feet in height, shall vary the wall alignment (jog, curve, notch, or setback, etc.) and include trees or shrubs in the voids created by the variations.

6. "Safe by Design" concepts shall be incorporated in the subdivision plat for review by the Tucson Police Department with particular attention to the trail adjacent to Robb Wash.

7. Any relocation, modification, etc., of existing utilities and/or public improvements necessitated by the proposed development shall be at no expense to the public.

8. Five years are allowed in which to comply with all Code requirements and conditions of rezoning.

Eight (8) written approvals and one-hundred thirty-two (132) written protests have been received. Seventy (70) protests are within the 300 foot notification area and twenty (20) of those protests are located within 150 feet of the rezoning site. The protests generally refer to increased traffic, density, crime and loss of open space. These protests represent a 5.86 percent protest by area to the north, a 78.89 percent protest to the south, a 3.85 percent protest by area to the east, and a 34.51 percent protest by area to the west.

A 3/4 majority vote of the Mayor and Council will be necessary to adopt an ordinance rezoning the subject property once the conditions of rezoning are met.
