Councilmember Dietz asked if the figures on the information they were given represents the figures that each city will be losing out of their budget. City Manager George Hoffman The budget includes a significant component This data is'not ours;it was produced by the same people providing the data to the pro-incorporation effort,which is the -League of Arizona Cities and Towns.Theydotheirbesttoneutrallydescribethewaythestate-shared revenue system works and what the impacts would be. stated it would be. of streets revenue.n Councilmember Dietz commented He believes or whatever it is. each one of these cities will be hit each year. Apache Junction taking a $1.6 million hit. REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL JUNE 15,2010 PAGE 10 OF 17 n n City Manager George Hoffman stated it is approaching $1.6 million. Councilmember Dietz commented that this is without knowing,what the state is going to do to us next year. City Manager George Hoffman stated that is correct.This is the League data.Our grants staff have pointed out that there are grant implications.There is a decrease in the formula grants that are out there,such as the Community Development Block Grants and the bullet proof vest program.There will also be more competitors.He does not want them to think that this is the only financial impact,but it is certainly the largest. n Councilmember Dietz commented what he was saying is that they do not know what else the city would have to take along with the $1.6 million hit. the other things taken away this year like the LTAF that was used for different things within the city, state-shared revenues, to do to balance their budget on our backs,but whatever they do will be plus this $1.6 million and all the other figures for all the other cities within Pinal County. It is like It has shortened our We do not know what the state is going City Manager George Hoffman stated that is correct,and those were the LTAF I and the LTAF' II. Councilmember Wilson commented we all agree with letting the local people in.the area make the determination as to whether they want to incorporate or not.But we represent the citizens of Apache Junction,and we are trying to express their concerns on the potential loss of funds and services those funds would provide.The people in this area will not be affected in any way,shape,or form by the council's action tonight as far as the police protection services.They are still covered under the county.We have a potentially major hit which could affect our services that we provide our residents.He wanted to make sure that everyone understands that they are not against them incorporating;we,are n REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL JUNE 15,2010 PAGE 11 OF 17 nn just saying not at this time.Let us get back on solid footing before even attempting incorporation. Councilmember Coleman commented he is a ^believer in local control and local He believes that the government closest to the He served as president of the As he looks at this map,it is not We have no intention of The only concern is the loss of revenue to us and the other municipalities.As he looks at the map, when he scrolls down to the bottom,Maricopa does not get'a vote.Casa Grande does not get a vote.Cooiidge already voted no but they are about 200 feet out of the 6 miles.Eloy does not get a vote.Kearney does not get a vote.Mammoth does not get a vote.The only one that does is Florence. government. people is the most responsive. League of Cities and .Towns. infringing on our future planning area, going that far south.n c Councilmember Dietz commented that Queen Creek gets a vote. Councilmember Coleman commented Queen Creek does get a vote.He thinks the way that the resolution appears on the agenda is exactly right.The proposed untimely incorporation of San Tan Valley,as we look at our own proposed budget,we are looking at spending reserves. This is not a good time for us.He does not believe it is a good time for them,to incorporate, revenues are scarce. It is a down cycle where It is not a real good time to start creating another level of government.They are asking in this resolution to ask those that do have a vote and do have a say in this proposition to please consider the interests not only of their communities,but of ours also.It is almost like we are asking them to represent us because we do not get a vote in this. n He does not like being placed in this situation as unfortunately you have to vote yes or no.You cannot not take an action.You cannot say in 10 years or anything like that. He is asking Florence and Queen That is what It is an untimely proposition at If revenues were stable and the economy was growing, he would probably feel differently.But at this particular time,when we are already having a tough time paving our streets,to lose $900,000 of HURF funds would just be critical It is a yes or no proposition.

This is a regional problem at this point.She thinks it is very important that we speak for our own citizens as well as the rest of the region and Pinal County in asking for this type of thing.- n Mayor Insalaco stated a copy of the letter in the guest commentary of the newspaper yesterday by him was sent to all the mayors in Pinal County.This morning he heard from Mayor Art Sanders of Queen Creek asking,what he could do to support us because w,e are supporting them.This afternoon he got a call at home from the mayor of Florence.He thanked Apache Junction for its support and thanked him for the letter.These are the two communities that have a say.For all the other communities,especially the small ones like Mammoth, which is a very small community,they cannot afford $81,000 to lose.He commented George is right in that we have a supervisor that is supposed to take care of Apache Junction.But we were not voted in by San Tan Valley or our supervisor.We were voted in by the city residents.This is not a yes and not a no,it is just not now.It is definitely the wrong time. n Councilmember Dietz agreed. Councilmember Serdy commented he has been anguishing back and forth over this.After last night,he was sure that a yes vote would be the way to go.The more he thinks about it,these people pay this money in.In some ways,it is their money.If you buy lunch and the cashiers give you too much money,I feel obligated to give it back.Yes,- it would be a great hit for us,but these people pay into it. They are paying a lot for us right now.As Councilmember Coleman said,the best government is local government.He knows how they all felt when California and Chicago boycotted us'over REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL JUNE 15,2010 PAGE 13 OF 17 nn what ,we are doing here, feels they do not quite have the right to restrict these people. He wished they could have stayed out of it and let it work out. George commented that the supervisor could possibly hold back, he would sure hope that that does not happen, appreciate threats from our representatives, constituents that a lot of them wish he would work as hard for Apache Junction as he does for this start happening, will have to vote his conscience on it. They do not know what goes on here.He He does not He heard from his Hopefully^that will He is still torn over the whole thing. area.

REQUEST: Community Christian ChurchPROPERTYOWNERS: REPRESENTATIVE:Stephanie Rowe,AIA LOCATION:The subject site is located on the southwest corner of North Valley Drive and West Greasewood Street (parcel number of 10O-3O-O29A). GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION:Medium Density Residential EXISTING AND SURROUNDING LAND USES:The subject site is currently vacant with a zoning designation of GR (General Rural).n NORTH: SOUTH: EAST: WEST: TH (Trailer Homesite) GR (General Rural) CR-5 (Multiple-Family Residence) GR (General Rural) BACKGROUND: This case is a rezoning request for a planned development in order to construct a multiple family residential facility for senior citizens.This request is by the Community Christian Church and they propose to establish a retirement living community by constructing an independent living apartment building. n n The project was reviewed through the City Preliminary Development Review (PDR) process in December 2009.In the PDR Meeting it was determined that the next step in the process was to apply for a rezoning to CR-5/PD because the currentzoningofGRwouldnotallowamultipie-family residential development. The subject site is designated in the General Plan as Medium Density Residential, which normally allows a maximum density of 6 dwelling units per acre.The site is approximately four acres.The proposal to construct a 43 unit residential facility on the four acres falls into the category of a Minor General Plan Amendment,as defined by the General Plan. The subject site does have a history of past projects that were proposed to be developed at this location.There were a total of three past project proposals including one rezoning request and two previous PDR cases.In 2007,there was a proposal for multi-unit residential townhome complex that was titled Treasure Park. This project was presented at a PDR meeting in August of 2007,but was withdrawn in the foliowirig months after the meeting.In February 2006,a 42-lot subdivision was proposed at a PDR meeting.A fezoning request was never filed. n There was a rezoning case submitted for this parcei in 1997.It was subnnitted by Community Christian Church for a multi-unit senior housing facility that was similar to this proposai.The case wais heard by Commission,but was withdrawn in 1999 during the process. PROPOSAL The 43-unit senior apartment faciiity will consist of a two-story,L-shaped bui|djng, with an abundance of landscaping and open space.As submitted,the building will consist of a stucco finish with a clay tile roof,as proposed in the conceptual building elevations (see attached).The applicant is now proposing a mission style concrete tile roof. n The following table illustrates the requested zoning deviations including the increased height of the building and the reduction in the parking space count. CR-5 Zoning Standards Current Zoning Requirements Requested Deviations 57 parking spaces 40 parking spacesParking 26.5 feetBuildingHeight25feet nn PLANNING AND ZONING WORK SESSION: This case has been presented to Commission for two discussions,one on May 11, 2010 and the other on May 25,2010.As a result of those discussions,several questions have been raised by the Commissioners. Commissioner Bunten asked a question about turning movernents and traffic volume on Valley Drive and whether a traffic signal would be needed.This question was brought to Engineering’s attention.After discussing this matter with Engineering Staff,their determination is that this is a low intensity,low traffic generating type of use and does not generate enough traffic to require a signal. Also,as part of their construction plans submittal,the developer’s engineer will be required to submit a driveway analysis for the alignment or off-set of the proposed main entrance drive on Valley Drive for optimum safe traffic movements. n Another question asked by Commissioner Bunten was what was meant by the statement “driving will be limited”that was stated during the presentation.The question was referred to the applicant in order to obtain further information regarding the projected number of vehicles the future residents may have.Based on the information received from the applicant,there will be an estimated 18 vehicles on site that are owned by the residents,the visitation rate is approximately 10%on a typical day,and a van service will be provided for residents as well.This information is based on Community Christian Care’s past experience with housing elderly residents.The Commission may wish to explore this further with the applicant at the public hearing. Chairwoman Evans asked a question about the reduction of parking spaces and whether forty spaces are sufficient for the development.The required parking space count for a standard multi-family apartment complex of this size is fifty-seven spaces.The applicant is asking for a deviation down to forty spaces because of the types of residents which they serve.That question has also been referred to the applicant for further comment.Based on Community Christian Care’s experience with similar local projects,the necessary parking rate is 0.5 spaces per unit.The requested forty spaces for this proposal are at a rate of 0.9 spaces per unit.Theresidentsarelowincomeandmanydonotownvehicles. Since the first Work Session,staff has received protest petitions against this proposal (see attached)from nearby residents.Of the five petitions received thus far,four of those represent properties within 150 feet.The typical reasons against the rezoning cited by the petitions include increased traffic,decreased property values,potential increased crime,and the mountain views being blocked.The applicants have been advised about the petitioners concerns.Staff asked the applicant to submit a memo addressing the concerns of the Commissioners and the issues raised in the protest petitions.Their response is attached. n n n Planning staff is generally supportive of the proposed rezoning for the following reasons. 1.The proposal appears to work well as an infill project between lower density residential uses to the north and higher intensity uses generaily to the south. 2.The project wiil provide neighborhood and community improvements in the form of improved streets,enhanced landscaping,street lights,and quality construction.n 3.The height proposed (26.5 feet)is actualiy iower than the maximum height allowed under the current GR zoning district (30 feet). 4.The existing GR zoning would allow residential buildings to be as close as 20 feet to a neighboring property line.The proposed rezoning wiil require the building to be a minimurn of 50 feet from a neighboring property line. 5.The existing GR zone aiiows uses of similar or more intensity outright,such as a schooi,hospitai,governrnent buiiding,church,pubiic or private utility, etc. RECOMMENDATION: If the Commission is desirous of forwarding a recommendation of approvai to the City Council,then staff recommends using the following motion with the recommended conditions as listed. I move that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend to the Apache Junction City Council the (approyal/denial)of Case #PZ-2-10,a request by Community Christian Church,represented by Stephanie Rowe,for a rezoning of their 4-acre property at the southwest corner of North Valley Drive and West Greasevyood Street,from GR (Generai Rural)to CR-5/PD (Multiple-Family Residences by Planned Development)for the purpose of developing a 43-unit,two story,senior housing facility,subject to the following conditions of approval: n The perimeter fence is to be designed in accordance with the submitted screen wall detail and to match the main buiiding color. 1.

As THE APPLICANT FOR THE REZONING REQUEST I WILL ADDRESS EACH OF THOSE ISSUES BELOW. Work Study Questions; Christian Care -the non-profit group that will own and operate the facility -has over 40 years of EXPERIENCE AND SEVERAL EXISTING CAMPUSES INCLUDING PHOENIX,COTTONWOOD,TUCSON,BROWN IN MESA AND MAIN IN Mesa.Their long experience and many projects are the basis for our collected information.Our project HAS Federal assistance and has both age (62 minimum)and income limits.The apartments are Independent Living.n A.Traffic- Residents -there are 43 apartments,based on Christian Care’s experience with low-income ELDERLY APARTMENTS APPROXIMATELY 40%OF RESIDENTS MAY HAVE A VEHICLE WHEN THEY MOVE IN AND GENERALLY SELL THE VEHICLES AS TIME PASSES.PROBABLY 18 VEHICLES. Visitors -based on Christian Care’s experience visiting rate is approximately 10%on a typical DAY WITH THE TIMES SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND NOT LATER THAN 9 PM.SO 4 TO 5 VEHICLES PER DAY. Staff -there will be one staff member from 9 am to 5 pm and if needed one night security. Van -One of the services provided can be a Van for transport to the grocery store and similar locations -ON THE OTHER CHRISTIAN CARE CAMPUSES THIS RUNS AT MOST ONCE A DAY. This IS A very low amount of traffic and it is not focused at any single time. n n PZ-2-10.Applicant response to questions Page 2 B,Request FOR Reduced Parking- This is directly related to the amount of traffic -based on Christian Care’s experience parking typically needed at a rate of .5 spaces per unit with a maximum of .9 spaces per unit.These numbers are from many years of experience.I have attached views of several of the campuses to demonstrate typical parking conditions.We have proposed 40 spaces which is .9 spaces per unit. We are confident that this will be sufficient parking,if this site proves to be different than the other campuses we have plenty of space to add additional parking to accommodate an increased need.We are certainly willing to add that parking should it be necessary.It is however beneficial for us,the residents,the neighbors and the environment to pave only the spaces we expect to need and keep the rest of the site for landscape and natural area. IS n C.Accessibility- Since the project is intended for elderly housing our design exceeds the minimum requirements OF THE Federal and Local Accessibility codes.We are required to comply with ADA for site and common spaces,and with ICC/ANSI A117.1 as well as UFAS for apartment unit accessibility.All the entry/exit doors ,sidewalks and common areas will be accessible.All the units will meet the appropriate of the two levels of accessibility -some of the units are fully wheel chair accessible,and all of the units are accessible for limited mobility and reach for residents with walkers AND OTHER ASSIST devices. D.Site screen WALLS- We have had several discussions with the City Planning Staff regarding walls for the project. We will comply with any city requirements that apply.We have 3’high screenwalls around the mechanical units to screen them from view from the streets or parking area.These walls will be masonry painted an accent color to compliment the building and will have slump block caps. There will also be security walls along the west and south property lines which will be the main building color (off-white)and will also have the decorative slump block cap.The height of these WALLS WILL BE COORDINATED WITH THE FINAL GRADING OF THE SITE TO NOT EXCEED 6’ON THE ADJACENT NEIGHBOR SIDE OF THE WALL. n Protest Petition Issues: 1.Traffic -see discussion above,very low traffic levels. 2.Decreased Property Values -there is no data to prove or disprove this issue -typically a new BUILDING improves THE VALUE OF A NEIGHBORHOOD.CHRISTIAN CARE’S EXISTING FACILITIES ARE CLEAN,WELL cared for AND SAFE. 3.Potential increased crime -again a difficult to prove or disprove issue -Christian Care’s existing FACILITIES AND EXPERIENCE INDICATE THAT THEY ARE A BENEFIT TO NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH FUNCTIONS BECAUSE THE RESIDENTS ARE AROUND BOTH DAY AND NIGHT AND MANY OF THEM WEAR MEDICAL CALL BUTTONS WHICH CONNECT THEM DIRECTLY TO MONITORED DISPATCH WHICH ASSISTS IN REPORTING ANY WITNESSED CRIME.THE RESIDENTS ARE LOW-INCOME SO THEY DO NOT CREATE AN ATTRACTIVE TARGET FOR BURGLARY.AT 62 YEARS OF AGE AND OLDER WITH MOBILITY ASSIST ISSUES THE RESIDENTS ARE CERTAINLY NOT POTENTIAL PERPETRATORS. nn PZ-2-10 Applicant response to questions Page 3 4.Blocked mountain view from neighboring property -I have attached sketches drawn to scale of the ALTITUDE AND DISTANCE AWAY OF THE MOUNTAINS,OUR BUILDING AND A SIGHT LINE FROM A PERSON STANDING AT THE CENTER OF THE LOT NUMBER ON THE PROTEST.OUR PROPOSED REZONING AND BUILDING ARE ACTUALLY 3'-6" LOWER THAN A BUILDING ALLOWED UNDER THE CURRENT ZONING COULD BE. nPleasecontactme'if ihi ARE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR INFORMATION THAT I CAN PROVIDE.- SlNCERELY^^ Stephanie Rowe,AIA,LEED AP Attachments O n County Parcels 'jh3^ 4 J- ^^ •<¥f* «rfs2S ,,,r U V’'''tV‘5 ->.v' r ;TS'!i ,1 -•^1 !<■ ; ■>A i i*‘V,i|I»I ^P»> /r?:-<y h;-::i«i»wsai I J !i<f 3'i t IS3L ■i}iu^^■a>4I»*;-4-Ssy Flpsi^al^iirja'i i^te funf\{“3..^'' / '*'’jf4^1 ■4**1 ?%1 IR I*"I ’"c •:vf i-14a-d5-001Q411.^ I I y--f.'f p fi&sm,j --1•'■i “K |'¥'--f --t *-;/ ..b,-‘.r -*1,■:-“-5*21.-<*^'■*--J 'r if i,.‘‘'-.-/'-■'J ii^.

E.l.Increased population:I object to any development of a density higher than that found in the current neighborhood.Namely,the current city plan is low density,single family,were as,the proposed zoning change is for high volume,multiple family residences.Such a change in zoning would negatively impact all existing residences in close proximity to the proposed structure. E.2.Decreased property values:Property values will decrease for single family dwellings.The submitted assumption provided by the re-zoning requestor,that injecting a "new structure improves the value of the neighborhood"does not take into account that the type of structure does and can determine the value,devaluation,and saleability of surrounding residences.Though I have no data to prove my belief,my research on the internet of properties in close proximity to multi-family residence and assisted living facilities,did in fact show a decrease in saleability and low release values. E.3.Senior housing;assisted/independent living:In the documents submitted by the re-zoning requestor,as read by me,it implies that there will be an increase in emergency medical vehicles from the activation of medical call buttons.This implies to me more of an assisted living facility vs. independent housing. E.4.Future expansion:in reviewing the requestors other senior housing properties,it shows that after the 5 year hold required by HUD,the facilities become licensed assistant living.Though such a change will have to be approved through this counsel,such as a request with their properties were not disapproved. E.5.Loss of neighborhood esthetics:The inclusion of a two story multi-family residence would remove the charm,quietness,views,minimal traffic,and subdued lighting that this neighborhood currently enjoys. E.6.Retail:this neighborhood does not provide for any significant retail business,such as:clothing, food,medical services,entertainment,restaurants,and so on.With the lack of such businesses,it must be assumed that traffic to and from the facility by car,vans,and service vehicles will dramatically increase. n n n n • PROTEST PETITION We certify that we are the real property owners of the lots included in tho’proposed change or of those immediately adjacent in the rear.or any side•thereof extending 150-feet'therefrom,or of those directly oppositrthereto'extending 150 feet from the street frontage of the opposite lots.

We have five (5)horse properties on Greasewood between Ironwood &Valley.These people paid more for their property and pay more taxes.Are they to lose this privilege.Almost every time they build multiples in an area with horse property people start complaining about the smell and flies,etc. 2.Traffic,traffic,and more traffic!!!People don’t quit drivingjust because they are over 62.My husband is 74 and I’m 66 and we drive in and out on Greasewood at least a dozen times a week,usually more than that.People on Valley use Greasewood to go to and from work,as do the people on Gold Ave.People going to and from both the church on Valley and the church on Superstition use Greasewood.In the winter when our VISITORS are here the traffic is much,much heavier.The people in the apartments would have to go after groceries,go to see their doctors,have friends and family coming to see them,and more.They say that they have members of the church who want to take the seniors to get their necessities and take them to see their doctors to pick them up and then drive back to return them to their apartment....that’s twice as many trips down Greasewood Street as there would be if they drove their own cars...the ones they’re going to sell!THIS ALSO MEANS THAT ANY OF THE RESIDENTS LIVING ON THE SECOND FLOOR WOULD HAVE TO BE CARRIED DOWN THE STAIRS IF THEY HAVE AN EMERGENCY AND HAVE TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL. n since they don’t live at the church....that means they wiU have to drive here 3.In Phoenix they have five (5)of these places all grouped together on two (2)city blocks.They are close to shopping,and are right across the street from a baseball park.Their units in Mesa on 70*street are close to shopping and are across the street from a park.They are not in low density areas. 4.The property (apartment building)may look good on paper,but the one on 70*St.looks more like a jail from the street and the side than an apartment complex.I would never have allowed either of my parents to live in a place like this.Half of the units are on the second floor.No balconies.No elevator.That means these Seniors over the age of 62 are going to have to cany thefr groceries up stairs.And carry their laundry down stairs to the laundry and then carry it back up stairs.Stairs may be good for young people but most of us seniors are having problems with arthritis!Stairs are NOT recommended by our doctors...just the opposite.THIS ALSO MEANS THAT ANY OF THE RESIDENTS LIVING ON THE SECOND FLOOR WOULD HAVE TO BE CARRIED DOWN THE STAIRS ON A STRETCHER IF THEY HAVE AN EMERGENCY AND HAVE TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL. And although they show walkways and a patio they expected to sit outside or take a walk outside without any type of shelter from the sun. ■'j it makes no mention of a cover over any of these.Are n 5.They say they are allowed to have some one live with them to assist with care if they want.Does this mean they will have a professional care person who is qualified for this or can they just move any body they want in with them anywhere from FORTY-TWO to EIGHTY-FOUR people living in these proposed apartments.Where are they going to sleep???On a couch in the living room?And I don’t know very many young adults (under thirty years of age)who are going to be in bed by 9:00 PM or who are going to go without a car for any longer than they have to.And very few seniors either. like any friend or relative over 18?Or is it 21?Which means there can be .MY HUSBAND AND I ARE LOW INCOMEWEARENOTAGAINSTLOWINCOMESENIORS, WHAT WE ARE AGAINST IS THIS PROPOSED TWO-STORY APARTMENTSENIORS BUILDING THAT DOES NOT FIT THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. 6.And many people currently living in the neighborhood would really like to know why they never have their plans drawn up for the TWO-STORY STRUCTURE to be located on the Southeast portion of the four (04.0)acre site.It would be closer to the fire station and just across the street from the church so they wouldn’t have to walk so far for attendance.EVEN WHEN THEY PROPOSED THE COTTAGES THEY WANTED TO PUT THATWHICHONLYHADONETWO-STORY BUILDING BUILDING ON THE WEST END NOT ON THE EAST END NEAR THE CHURCH.WHY??? n n IF THEY WERE TO PROPOSE THE DEVELOPMENT OF SINGLE-STORY COTTAGES FOR SENIORS (SAY DUPLEXES OR TRIPLEXES)THAT FIT IN WITH OUR COMMUNITY I REALLY BELIEVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD WOULD WELCOME IT.BUT NOT THIS EYESORE. n n n n ■■■PROTEST PETITIONCOJ •a t_,JJ oc4^a;•2.y «-c •ui 3 t.^c IQ 41 aQ.(U 4^ U 4J g A.We hereby protestfrom 4J .rezoning case PI-fOX3 wher a zoneto■a extending 150 feet from the street frontage of°the op7o1ii°fg?i;‘"‘'’""“° side of this petition!"'''"^"'^*Section 13.0103 which is printed on the at4J IQ o B.a.><o u c 3C"O •iQ t./Q 5 {_Jr“iQ ^ Q.>VI 4J 4i''F.4^Oi r-3 U-p-3 h-C LJ4JO3^ O 4J U5-1 U »a a 4J03OJOOJ -^-c>1ja-c <M o >»■o C 4-1 o4J-M O revers>LJ 5 VI .E.We are protesting this rezoning for the following reasons- GJ in E OJ CUL.•^Q fUUQ.4.J C *.u OJ ♦m ■i t;a. in C •b..i§--VI5&U<n OJ .c■2 o'.£™°X.'5 ° .3 o c o ^*<Q 4-14J ::i4J2.N a E 4.1'-s I’iS.S 5 I “>•c U CM 3 5iQLnoE VI1S •4J 4.1 r ^= 3. 4.o c yi C3>*1 >1 -Q'Q -P 41OJOC-t-" po o C_T- g.“>VI ..5'..■^^^4 Q.SP-P-Qjg-O •*-t-^L.■«->u <t:^■^ii .name (PRINTED)_COUNTY ASSESSOR'S 'book -HAP.PAGE -PARCEL NO.'WRE1 J2r^ 3.• 4.

Each apartment offers individually controlled heating/air conditioning,wall to wall carpeting in the living areas and sheet vinyl in the kitchens and bathrooms.There will be one two-bedroom managers unit.Other features included in the building are a central entrance lobby /lounge space,a common laundry room facility,two common multi-purpose rooms and a community kitchen for pot-luck dinners and shared breakfasts. Each unit includes a kitchen,entry,living/dining room,closet and a bath room.The primary rooms of each residential unit,i.e.the Living,Dining and Bedrooms have been placed along the exterior window walls.The kitchens, bathrooms and other support spaces are located along the corridor side of each unit.A main concern in the dwelling units is to meet universal design for all the senior residents and to meet handicapped accessibility requirements for the Fair Housing Accessibility Guidelines of the Federal Fair Housing Amendments Act (1988)and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards 1988 (UFAS)is the standard referenced by FHA.Also to be met are the more recent standards of the American National Standard Institute (ICC /ANSI All7.1-2003)and the local Building Code which is the International Building Code 2006 along with local amendments.ADA requirements apply to the common areas.5%of the units will be fully accessible;5%x 43 =3 units.Fully accessible units include roll-in showers and knee space at the kitchen sink and work counter.All the units will have accessible door widths,clear floor spaces,turning space,grab bars and universal design for reach range to switches,outlets and operable controls.All showers will have a handheld shower head and slide bar.Also 2%(1 unit)will have features to serve tenants with hearing and/or visual impairments. n •General Construction Considerations All proposed work and construction will follow all current HUD standards and shall conform with all applicable codes. •Site Work Page 3 of 26 n n The building will be free standing on a separate lot and will have its own parking and drives.Accessible walkways will link the street with the building and provide on-site walking paths.For visit ability and use by all the residents all building entrances and all common areas will have universal design.The first floor common room will access an exterior patio located to the north east to be shaded from the Arizona sun and which will face the view of the mountains.This exterior area will connect with the accessible walking paths. n •Exterior Construction The proposed building’s footprint shall be approximately 18,079 sf.The building will be a two story structure.Total building area shall be 36,158 sf.The exterior envelope of the proposed building will be of masonry with a stucco finish.The floor construction will be concrete plank.The roof construction will be constructed of steel trusses and clay tile roofing.This construction will give sound and fire control,durability,and ease of maintenance.The elevations will be stucco finish with tile roof.This project will fit with the residential character and scaling of the neighborhood.The colors will be off white with terra cotta fascia accent. •Interior Construction The proposed structure will be bearing walls at the exterior and corridor.The walls between each resident unit will be metal studs with resilient channel and batt insulation for sound control.The finish will be gypsum wall board with a painted finish.The residential unit entry doors and frames are to be hollow metal and rated appropriately.Masonite doors and “ready”frames shall be used for the interior of each resident unit.The public corridors and common rooms will include carpet,painted walls and acoustical ceiling tile.The units will include carpet in the living room and bedroom areas and V.C.T.flooring in the kitchens and baths.All cabinetry will be standard dimensional cabinets with plastic laminate counters and backsplash.All new wall construction will be gypsum wall board on metal studs with a painted finish.The unit ceilings shall be gypsum wall board with a painted finish.The building will be served by a new sprinkler system throughout. n •Common and Ancillary Spaces The first floor will house the main entrance lobby and the majority of the common and ancillary spaces located within the building.Ancillary spaces on the first floor shall include a U.S.postal and in-house mail space.The common spaces on the first floor shall consist of a main entry lobby with a sitting/lounge area and multi-purpose room with access to exterior common spaces and accessible walking paths.A multi-purpose room with a computer area and kitchen will be provided on the second floor. Page 4 of26 n o Our proposal incorporates a computer area with three stations for terminals. This area may be used by residents,staff and/or others for information, training and access to the internet at the discretion of management. Dual RJ11 telephone jacks in each apartment will afford tenants easy hook up of personal computers.Telephone jacks in common areas and category 5E data network drops with wall mounted patch panels as well as convenience outlets will allow administrative networking and use of the latest computer technology. The above will be a beneficial tool to incorporate education and job training opportunities through initiatives such as HDD’s Neighborhood Networks, enhancing self sufficiency,employability,and economic self-reliance of elderly residents. n •Mechanical.Electrical and Plumbing All Mechanical,Electrical and Plumbing work shall comply with all applicable codes and HUD standards.Individual resident units will be supplied with split- system mechanical units with individual control for A/C and heat.The corridors and other public spaces will be supplied by split-system mechanical units with programmed control for A/C and heat. •Energy Star and Green Initiative The Project will not only conform to HUD Cost Containment requirements,it will be designed to meet and exceed energy efficiency requirements of present codes.As required by HUD standards,the project will meet ASHRAE 90.1-2007 plus 20%(Appendix G).Energy Star qualified appliances will be used throughout to meet this goal,and a heat load analysis that shows compliance with this standard will be completed by the project engineer during the design phase of the project.

Page 7 of 26 n n Our request for CR-5 zoning would permit construction of a new two story apartment building for independent living seniors who are 62 years of age and older. The meeting will be at: Community Christian Church 1150 West Superstition Drive Building B Apache Junction,AZ 85120n Time: 6:00PM Tuesday February 16,2010 You are welcome to attend to learn about the case and make your opinions known.Your comments will be made a part of the case file. For additional information concerning the design of the proposed development,please contact Jon Scott Williams,Executive Director,6945 E.Main Street-Bldg 5,Mesa.AZ 85207 or call 480-654-1800 ext.294.My email address is ionscott.williams@ChristianCare.orq if you want to contact me by email.” d.Issues that were/aised through citizen contact: The applicant mailed out 51 letters to addresses of owner(s)of record (copies of the letters are included Tab 12).The letters provided a 30-day notice that a public meeting would be held to inform the property owner(s) in the immediate area of a neighborhood meeting to discuss the proposed zoning request (Tab 17).n Prior to the meeting one property owner parcel #100-30-29B contacted the owner’s representative (Jon Scott Williams via the email).The property owner and the representative agreed to meet on the property to review the same information that would be made available at the public meeting onFebruary16*^.During this meeting,the property owner was provided H”X17”renderings of the proposed improvements (Tabs 19.23). Concern was expressed,by property owner,about the affect of rental property and two story construction on the value of his lot which fronts on Gold Street South of Greasewood.No commitments were made at the time,the owner wanted to discuss the details with his spouse but he didindicatehewouldattendtheFebruary16“’meeting. Page 8 of26 n n February 16,2010 at 6:00 PM,the meeting was held at 1150 West Superstition Bivd.,Apache Junction,AZ 85120 in the auditorium.The following people were in attendance (see sign-in sheet Tab 14): Name: Jon Scott Williams Frank Mamlio Sharon Johnson-Shannon Max Ragsdale Mary De Haan Ray &Joy Laws Jr. Connie L.Ross Ronald E.Ross Patricia ByBee Chester Reaves Ray Eachus Address: Owner’s Rep 437 E.Germann 5762 S.Feather 100 W.lO^'^St. 1292 W.Greasewood 1276 W.Greasewood 8546 E.Brittle Bush 8546 E.Brittle Bush 1431 W.Greasewood 1326 W.Greasewood 1326 W.Greasewood Parcel #: 29A 29A 29A n 29A 43B 43A 29A 29A 30C 24D 24D The meeting was called to order at 6:10 PM. 12 people signed the attendance sheet (see copy Tab 14).Six of the twelve people in attendance represented that they owned or were related to the owners of four of the neighboring lots. Everyone in attendance had the opportunity to view 2’X 3’renderings of the proposed site improvements,floor plan,and building layout on 4 acre lot.In addition,a resume of Christian Care,the proposed operator of the affordable 62+senior apartments,and the architect’s narrative of the proposed construction and site improvements was provided to all in attendance. During the meeting,many questions were asked with multiple questions from one or two of the owners of the neighboring lots.Concerns raised during the meeting: 1.Traffic turning onto Valley Drive from Superstition? 2.Traffic turning onto Greasewood from Valley? 3.Would the property be licensed for Assisted Living? 4.How many units would CR-5 allow? 5.Would the property be walled? 6.and if so,how high? 7.Their view to the South and East would be blocked by two story construction. n Concern #1:Traffic turning onto Valley Drive from Superstition? Mr.Williams indicated that traffic control on Superstition Blvd was beyond the scope of this application. Page 9 of 26 n n Concern #2;Traffic turning onto Greasewood from Valley. Mr.Williams stated the main entrance and official address of the proposed improvement would be XXXX North Valley and not off Greasewood.The exit onto Greasewood allows for emergency vehicles,residents and visitors to exit but since the residents are seniors (62+)average age 80+ the traffic impact is much less than with family apartments or other future development of the property by the church (owner). Concern #3:Would the property be licensed for Assisted Living? Mr.Williams acknowledged that the existing Christian Care community located at 118 South 70'^Street is licensed for assisted living but at this time,there are no plans to license the building for assisted living services. One of the reasons Christian Care is interested in operating the proposed building is to replace 40 units that were recently converted to Assisted Living at the 70^^Street location.In the future,if residents require assisted living services,they automatically have a preference at the 118 South 70*^ Street location.Therefore,the North Valley Community will be a feeder community to the 70**’Street location.This application does not contain a request for assisted living use on the property.In any event,HUD regulations prevent conversion prior to 5 years from occupancy and approval from the local government at a minimum. Concern #4:How many units would CR-5 allow? Mr.Williams stated zoning does allow for additional units but because of the HUD funding source it is difficult to add units on the site but it is possible to increase the amount of enclosed common areas. Concern #5:Will the property be walled? After reviewing the site plan Mr.Williams could not determine if the proposed improvements would be walled but that the owner would comply with all City requirements. Concern #6:and if so,how high? Mr.Williams stated that the owner will ask guidance from the City for the height and location of any wall. Concern #7;Their view to the South and East would be blocked by two story construction.This was the MAJOR concern.This concern was expressed by owners of lots 30C,29B,24D,43B,and 43A.The residents stated that this was their major concern and they would not have any problem if the proposed development was single story.Mr.Williams stated the existing zoning of GR allows buildings to be 2 stories or 30 feet in height,therefore the proposed change in zoning would not alter the height of what the owner could build on the site.The question becomes would the residents prefer to live next to a two story well built church building or a two story well built retirement community? n n Page 10 of 26 n n After everyone present had an opportunity to ask questions and all questions were commented on by Mr.Williams he thanked everyone for taking time to come to the meeting and hear about the proposed project. He stated the Church and Christian Care want to be good neighbors and add to the community by providing necessary affordable senior housing that their friends or relatives may want to reside in.The meeting was adjourned at 6:45 PM.n e.How the applicant will address issues raised by staff and the public:-, The owner believes Concerns 1-4 were answered during the meeting but is open to providing additional information if requested.The owner believes Concerns 5-6 relating to a wall around the property and height will be determined by City requirements.However,the owner is open to building a wall on the South and West if it will build better relationships with the neighbors.Finally,concern #7 is mute since the proposed zoning and the existing zoning maximum building height are effectively the same, (see abridged Development Standard Summary Tab 13). n Page 11 of 26 n n Christian Care 1 18 S.70th street -Mesa,AZ 85Z08 ~480-924r3216of!!)m A Christian Care company Est.1979 Notice of Public Meeting n Meeting Date;Febmaiy 16,2010 Time:6:00PM Location:Community Christian Church Building B 1150 W.Superstition Blvd. Apache Junction,AZ 85120 Proposed Development:New two story apartment building for independent living seniors who are 62 years of age and older Address:Southwest Comer of Greasewood Street &Valley Road.

BackgroundII. Existing Conditions and Analysis Infrastructure AssessmentIV. Market Analysis and EvaluationV. VI.Visionn "To create a downtown wjthin the community as a central place or focal point that residents and visitors alike would identify as the functional and symbolic "heart"of the city'f. The purpose of the downtown study is to create a plan of action that identifies a strategy and a framework of goals for creating a downtown or town center that reflects the heritage of the Apache Junction community as it evolves into a 21^‘Century city.The community's vision is to create a central place or focal point within the community that residents and visitors alike would identify ais the center or symbolic "heart"of the city.This center would ideally contain key governmental services,retail (both local and regional),offices,educational opportunities,entertainment venues,residential uses,and cultural facilities all retaining the western heritage that is uniquely Apache Junction.The revitalized downtown while reflecting a variety of types of development,architecture,and uses would work together to reinforce the message of "Discover the West -Discover AJ". This vision is not original with this downtown study,but maybe with slightly different wording,has been true over the last 20 years of Apache Junction's downtown studies. However,it is also equally clear that very little actual change has occurred from those prior 1 n n studies.The emphasis of this plan is to develop a strategy that is clear in direction,detailed in recommendations and capable of being implemented in small increments.The saying that the longest journey begins with a single step and with many single steps after the first one is as true with this effort as any other journey. n The vision statement is sometimes viewed as fluff or merely necessary words to get to the real "stuff".In developing a plan that really achieves change the vision statement becomes the key component in ensuring success especially in the public sector.It Is absolutely true that if the community,staff,and City Council have a shared vision then almost anything can be accomplished.This shared vision cannot be casually endorsed but has to be a commitment by everyone and has to be aggressively reinforced on a continuous basis. VII.Organizing Principles 1.UNIQUE IDENTITY/BRANDING One of the keys to a successful downtown is identifying the "niche"or brand of a downtown. In the Phoenix metropolitan area,with many competing downtown and retail centers.In order to be successful the community needs to identify what distinguishes downtown Apache Junction from development along US 60 and other newer suburban shopping centers.One of the key components in a successful downtown strategy is answering this question. O The downtown brand or image may vary by what section of Apache Trail is being considered. However,it is important that the brand be clearly identified and consistently promoted.In the final analysis the commitment to a shared vision by the City Council and the community is essential to its success and to the overall success of downtown Apache Junction.The brand has to be unique enough and carried out with such consistency that it will draw people off of US 60.In addition,it is critical that the major entries into Apache Junction be clearly defined so that people visually know when they are entering downtown Apache Junction.Creating a clear visual edge to the community improves the perception of Apache Junction but also differentiates it fr^^suburban communities where you're not sure if you are in one city or another. The strongest positive image that Apache Junction has is the western/southwestern image and it is important that the City promote this "brand"and that it is reflected in new development and revitalization.The "western brand"is not intended to be confined to a historical cowboy image,but rather the spirit of the west which reflects people who exhibited an independence of attitudes,love of the outdoors,appreciation for the natural n 2 n n beauty of the area,and an active lifestyle.However,it also represented people who were friendly,would help their neighbor in times of need,and who were loyal and committed to building a better community for themselves and their children.Capturing all of these different shades of what it means to be "western"is difficult but can be done if the message and brand is simple and repeated consistently.The following recommendations begin the process of brand identification but the concept of branding and creating a unique downtown permeates all of the recommendations contained in the downtown strategy program. n Goal 1.1 -Adopt a consistent brand that focuses on the Superstition Mountains as the main image for the community and downtown and incorporates the "western"feel of Apache Junction in areas such as equestrian,historical mining,cowboy life style,and outdoor and recreational activities. Strategies - Include this "brand"in the promotion of the downtown and incorporate it in the following areas of new development in the downtown; •Promotion •Signage •Landscape •Street Furniture •Architecture •Color and Materials •Lighting a) n Consistency with the "brand"as reflected in different zones should be required (ordinances),encouraged (design guidelines or incentives),or left to the discretion of individual property owners depending on the location within the downtown. b) Funding (even if it a small amount)should be set aside each year to promote the brand in newspapers,magazines,or trade publications. c) Adopt a logo and color palate consistent with the brand and use them on public signs, street furniture,light poles and other visible public improvements. d) Emphasize the brand (outdoor recreation,western music/live entertainment,horses, southwest images,and mining)in business recruitment and retention efforts as well as special events. e) n 3 n n f)Create a western image for the Transition Zone that incorporates the old Arizona feel of modest wood or adobe buildings,hand painted signs,and southwest images. n Goal 1.2 -Clearly define the edges or entries of the community and the downtown to create a separate identity and image.The purpose is to create a unique identity and brand for the community,and to create a sense of arrival into the downtown. Strategies - a)Gateways such as arches over a street,lights;andssignage should be installed at key locations in the downtown area to emphasize the boundaries of each area: i.Apache Trail median between Idaho and North Apache Trail ii.Focal Point Intersection and adjacent North Apache Trail iii.Idaho and Apache Trail b)At the major intersections into Apache Junction specific improvements should be made to define the major entries.The following arefthe priorities of these gateway improvements: i.Old West Highway and US 60 ii.Meridian and Apache Trail iii.State Route 88 and Superstition Boulevard, iv.Ironwood Drive and the southern city limits n Goal 1.3 -Develop a comprehensive wayfinding program that identifies Downtown Apache junction and the major buildings and activities within the downtown. Strategies - Develop an attractive,unique,simple sign template that can be used for public roadway signs on Apache Trail,Old West Highway,and Idaho Road. a) Upgrade the existing public signs along the roadways identifying the city activities including the city hall,library,visitor's center,and multi-generation center. b) Erect new signs that incorporate the federal and county building directions along with the cities. c) Install seasonal banners along Apache Trail that celebrate the history and character of the City of Apache Junction and rotate them on a regular basis. d) n 4 n n e)Coordinate with local major attractions to create a program allowing them to participate in providing public wayfinding signs with the attraction identified as part of the sign message.n Provide signage on Broadway Avenue and Superstition Boulevard as they intersect Meridian Road directing drivers to Downtown Apache Junction and to the "Major Attractions"in Apache Junction. f) Goal 1.4 -Strategically focus the marketing to attract winter visitors and to promote special activities. Strategies - Establish a program to collect "hard"or real data on winter visitor statistics,including numbers,impact on sales taxes,types of visitors,duration of stay,and desired amenities. a) The City,working with local businesses such as Superstition Harley-Davidson,Arizona Opry,Goldfield Ghost Town>Superstition Mountain Museum,and Central Arizona College,should jointly promote or sponsor local events focusing on family activities, winter visitor attractions,and regional draws. b) n Identify ways to attract horse owners to visit and winter in Apache Junction by connecting equestrian trails into the downtown.Explore the construction of an equestrian and hiking trailhead on the Bureau of Land Management property at Idaho Road and Scenic Drive. c) Provide opportunities (if necessary,modify the zoning code)for stables adjacent to RV parks for winter equestrian visitors consistent with and sensitive to the context of the existing neighborhood. d) Focus advertising and media outreach efforts on western,equestrian,boating,and outdoor recreation using the Superstition Mountains backdrop. e) The City,working with the Chamber,should provide a local events calendar of scheduled activities and events for residents and visitors with an emphasis on winter residents during the season. f) 5 n n 2.THREE ZONE CONCEPT n Downtowns for small to mid-size cities are traditionally compact and relatively small with a series of pedestrian oriented streets and walkable blocks.Apache Junction does not have any of those attributes.Apache Trail and the City of Apache Junction still reflect the impact of US 60 being relocated and not being the main focus of the existing community.Development along the road occurred over time as a series of highway oriented uses that had as a major identity the "Y"intersection and the Grand Hotel.The relocation of US 60 two miles south and the demolition of the hotel resulted in (from a downtown perspective)no "there there", that is there is no single point that most people would identify as the center of the community,in addition the long automobile oriented commercial corridor prevents the creation of a walking area associated with most successful downtowns. The approach is to divide the downtown into three zones that reflect the development pattern and architecture of specific areas.The three areas or zones that are proposed have existing design characteristics and development building patterns.Starting at Meridian Road east to Delaware is typical suburban retail dominated by national names such as Office-Max, Wal-Mart,Starbucks,and Safeway.The current zoning of the area is C-3/PD and CB-2 which is the typical commercial zoning district in Apache Junction.The development pattern has a car orientation*;large setback fromithe street with surface parking,and corporate architecture.Some of the newer buildings such as Superstition Harley-Davidson and Bank of America provide a good example of contextual architecture within a western theme and add character to the area. n The second area going east of Delaware to approximately San Marcos Drive extended is a mixture of oldistrip highway retail uses including hotels,restaurants and gas stations.This area is primarily zoned CB-2.The properties tend to be small and on the north side have significant flood limitations.The development of this area is diverse with many older, dilapidated buildings showing significant indicators of decline with a few key anchor buildings such as Chase Bank and Best Western Apache Junction Inn.Given the smaller lots,older buildings,and a zoning code designed for suburban development revitalization is very difficult in this area. The third area extends along Apache Trail to Winchester and includes both the governmental center and the community college.This area has traditionally been the center of town with the Grand Hotel,highway junction for the lakes,and the Focal Point monument.It has two older shopping centers built in the 1950's and a new Fry's Shopping Center that is reflective of newer suburban shopping centers.The zoning classification is mixed reflecting the public, residential,and commercial uses in the area.The commercial is both C-3 and City Center District (CCD).CCD is a new zoning district reflecting an urban development pattern and n 6 n intensity,The area also hds a significant amount of vacant land with over half of the total area as undeveloped and a number of buildings in blighted condition. n Goal 2.1 -Create a manageable,pedestrian scale downtown in a commercial area that is two miles in length from Meridian to Winchester along Apache Trail. Strategies - a)Divide the downtown area into three zones reflective of their existing and potential land uses and development patterns: i.Suburban Zone -Retain the existing zoning classifications.Review the existing commercial development requirements and adopt design guidelines to ensure they meet the needs of a suburban zone.Adherence to Design Guidelines would be encouraged but voluntary and incentives would only be granted on a hardship basis by the City Council based on pre-established criteria. ii.Transition Zone -Modify the zoning ordinance to provide an appropriate set of development standards and uses to reflect the smaller,more compact properties in this area.A full range of incentives and grant assistance would be allowed to encourage small property upgrades and development.Design Guidelines would be encouraged,but would be mandatory only if matching financial assistance is provided or permit fees waived by the city. n iii;Downtown Core Zone -The core is intended to be the center of the community and the heart of the downtown.It is further divided into three areas:Governmental CenteifiTown Center,and Educational Center.The existing CCD zoning is the predominate classification for the Town Center.Incentives would be considered for new development to "jump start"the redevelopment of the area.Adherence with the Design Guidelines would be mandatory. Goal 2.2 -Modify the general plan,city codes and policies to reflect the special nature of the downtown and uniqueness of each of the three zones. Strategies- a)Create a zoning overlay for each of the three zones to address the uses,development standards,and review process unique to each area. n 7 n n b)Develop new Design Guidelines for each of three downtown zones.The new Design Guidelines for the Suburban Zone will use the existing commercial design guidelines of the City as the starting point,but with added focus on design criteria desired to achieve the goals and objectives of this district.The new Design Guidelines for the Transitional Zone will reflect the smaller,more compact properties of this district and will encourage new development and redevelopment to reflect an "old Arizona" architectural character.The new Design Guidelines for the Downtown Core Zone will use the existing Superstition Square Shopping Center guidelines as the starting point, but with added focus on creating a pedestrian-friendly,identity-building,downtown core. n C)Allow non-conforming properties more latitude in redeveloping properties,buildings, and signs.Modify the Zoning Code^ot^^^^^staff flexibility and use the standard of moving closer to compliance rather than the present total compliance requirement. Modify the general plan to represent the downtown area (all three zones)as a mixed use designation. d) Amend the zoning code to allow mixed uses (residential and non-residential)by right in all zoning districts in the downtown. e) n Revisethe sign codeto allow signs reflective of each district as indicated in the sign matrix shown in Appendix xxx. f) Consider the use of "temporary"or "encroachment"permits for ground mounted signs along Apache Trail where there exist wide rights of way to allow greater visibility of businesses. g) 3.APACHE TRAIL MEDIAN Over the last 20 years,since the rerouting of US 60,much discussion has occurred about the width of Apache Trail and whether it should be modified.The existing Apache Trail right of way is 160 feet with a landscape center median of approximately 64 feet.This wide transportation corridor has served as a barrier for pedestrian movements and the ease of connecting the various commercial properties along the Trail.The six lanes of traffic carry approximately 33,000 trips per day with a dramatic variation in volume between the summer and winter.The road,if reduced to four lanes,could handle the existing and projected future traffic volumes.By eliminating the outside lanes landscaping and better traffic control couldn 8 n n be added along the length of Apache Trail.This would allow for a more coherent visual connection along the two mile stretch of Apache Trail tying the disparate areas together. n However,the reduction in the number of lanes also might present a sense of additional congestion and divert trips to the parallel streets of Broadway Avenue and Superstition Boulevard which might lessen the commercial viability of the retail uses along Apache Trail. In addition,the high cost and difficulty of constructing the improvements in phases make this a difficult option.An alternative approach is to landscape-the existing center median of Apache Trail from Meridian Road to Winchester and create a landscape median on key adjacent streets.This action could accomplish the goal of visually tying the physically disjointed downtown together.The median improvements could be done in logical phases over a period of several years and would not disrupted adjacent businesses.The addition of landscaped medians would allow for a continuous landscaping treatment creating an attractive downtown boulevard effect and be the central element of tying the various downtown districts together. Goal 3.1-Visually tie the downtown together through the enhanced treatment of medians in the downtown area focusing on Apache Trail. Strategies - n a)The number of lanes on ApacheTrail should not be reduced from six to four lanes. b)The width ofthe center median on Apache Trail should remain intact and preserved for landscaping and potentially any form of transit. c)The treatment of the medians from Meridian Road to Winchester should be enhanced to support the downtown image and create a constant visual thread linking the two mile commerciaiistrip into a more consistent commercial destination. d)The improvements should include lighting,public art,signage and additional landscaping. e)On-street bike lanes should be added along Apache Trail by restriping the existing asphalt road and should connect with the overall bike system ofthe city. n 9 n n Goal 3.2 -Median improvements should be constructed in a systematic way with a consistent set of improvements over the multi -year project. n Strategies - a)The improvements of the median on Apache Trail should be done in a systematic and phased fashion starting with the median between the Focal Point and Idaho Road.The subsequent median should be identified and budgeted for one section being improved each fiscal year. Landscaped center medians should be added on key adjacent streets starting with Idaho Road from the new Broadway Avenue entrance of ientral Arizona College to Idaho Road's intersection with North Apache Trail. b) Goal 3.3 -Provide safe and convenient nonsmotor access along and across Apache Trail. Strategies - Provide an eight foot wide sidewalk along both sides of Apache Trail from Meridian Road to Winchester as redevelopment and median improvements occur. a) n Provide striped crosswalks at all signalized intersections and provide midpoint signals in the medians at the designated crossings. b) Signalize the Winchester-Old West Highway intersections for automobiles,pedestrians and bicycles. c) Assess the feasibility of connecting any future city trail systems (bike,pedestrian, equestrian,multi-modal)into the town center area and identify key intersections for appropriate non-motorized crossing signals. d) 4.REVITIALIZATION/ECONOMIC VITALITY One of the keys to revitalization of a downtown is the reinvestment in existing businesses and the development of smaller properties.However,this type of small development often is the hardest to achieve and may be cost prohibitive because of the lack of professional assistance, the multitude of existing problems,and the small size of the parcel itself.These inherent barriers become even more significant for the many smaller properties in the central part of Apache Trail.One of the most significant barriers is the flood plain designation and occurrencen 10 n n of some flooding on the north side of Apache Trail.A study that develops the framework for handling drainage in the Downtown Revitalization Area,focusing on the area impacted by the n Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)Flood Zone should be considered.The study should recommend options to minimize the hazards from flooding and be the basis for refining the limits of the Flood Zone to reflect today's conditions. While a community may understand the need for creating a vision and preparing planning documents,what the community really wants to see is a market-based,achievable plan which will result in creating a vibrant downtown.Even small changes in a downtown (e.g. Phelps Drive streetscape)can create a sense of optimism and moving forward.Although the return on investment (ROI)is usually not a criterion for public investment in a downtown, from a private standpoint,it is often the only criterion.Consequently,any downtown effort should be based on a sound understanding of the local marketplace and how to focus public improvements and programs to complement the private efforts.Since public dollars are often limited,any plan needs to understand what the public sector can do in truly assisting the private investment,that is,leveraging economic development tools to support the downtown vision.This publie-^private partnership is one of the keys to being successful. Goal 4.1-The barriers to revitalization of small properties (especially in the Transition Zone) should be mitigated comprehensively and systematically.n Strategies - Commercial buildings currently on septic systems should be encouraged to hook up to existing sewer lines through financial and/or zoning incentives.The City or Superstition Mount»Commuhity Facilities District (SMCFD)#1,by offering incentives for existing development within the Downtown Area to connect to the local sewer system,would encourage redevelopment of existing properties and eventually minimize redevelopment cost. a) The City should work with FEMA and the Pinal County Flood Control District to initiate the review of the existing flood plain designation along the north side of Apache Trail to determine if the extent of flooding shown on FEMA maps is accurate.If accurate,the City should pursue an Area Drainage Master Plan for the watershed that impacts the north side of Apache Trail and explore options to mitigate the flooding that represents a barrier to revitalization.If the maps are not accurate,the City should pursue a map amendment with FEMA or other necessary action as appropriate to formally remove the flood plain designation. b) n 11 n n c)All development fees should automatically be waived for new development and redevelopment projects within the Transition Zone that that are less than 20,000 square feet in building size and meet the adopted Design Guidelines. Goal 4.2 -Support the revitalization of existing buildings and smaller properties in the Transition Zone as a unique commercial entity. Strategies- Adopt design guidelines for this area that are structured to achieve an older southwestern (Arizona)highway commercial image through modifying the zoning code and design guideiines. a) Establish an ongoing Transition Zone Business Owner Association (TBOA)for this area to market itself with a casual westernaimage and atmosphere taking advantage of smaller renovated buildings. b) The city working with the TBOA should sponsor a series of businesses development seminars to promote the area and the individual skills of the retailers. c) n Establish an ongoing facade and sign matching grant program for smaller businesses using local funds or securing federal,state,or county grants. d) Identify key locations within the district to erect western features (art work,landscaped areas,signage etc.)that support the theme of the area. e) City staff should facilitate adjacent property owners working together to better organize the access into properties and between properties. f) Provide opportunities for free initial architectural design assistance to properties that are proposing to remodei to illustrate the ability to meet the design goals. g) Goal 4.3 -Develop a downtown that is unique within its boundaries and different from the freeway oriented uses along US 60. Strategies - a)To the extent permitted under Arizona law,modify the Apache Junction Zoning Ordinance and engineering requirements to include the unique characteristics of then 12 n n three downtown activity zones so staff has some flexibility in approving parking, density,and other zoning requirements (a staff level planned development).n b)To the extent permitted under Arizona law,support locally-owned businesses by offering development incentives for relocating in the downtown activity zones under City-approved design guidelines. c)To the extent permitted under Arizona law,administratively allocate a portion of sales tax received from new commercial activity outside the downtown activity zones to pay for public improvements in the downtown activity zones. Goal 4.4 -Identify and actively recruit small locally owned businesses and non-retail organizations for the Transition District and the Town Center. Strategies - a)Make personal contact with targeted existing businesses in adjacent communities to educate them on the market opportunities and availability of space in the downtown. b)Participate and make presentation to local civic groups,regional forums,and state-wide events on the opportunities and progress that is being made in Apache Junction.n c)Establish an annual award given by the City Council to the business,organization,or developer that has contributed the rhqst during the last year to the revitalization of the dpvyntown. d)Consider the formation of a business improvement district (BID)to provide additional services (i.e.marketing;streetscape improvements,maintenance)to the downtown core.The city could "seed"the BID in the years as an inducement to get it established, but after the initial period the funding and operational responsibilities would lie with e:private sector. Goal 4.5 -Prorhotptourism in Apache junction and the downtown as the home base or trail head for visiting the area's attractions. Strategies- a)Work with local and regional agencies to coordinate activities and share the promotion to encourage people to visit the northeast Pinal County area.O 13 n n b)Establish a community based organization with representatives from major tourist draws (Arizona Opry,Goidfield Ghost Town,etc.)to deveiop a comprehensive program.n c)Consider dedicating a portion of the City of Apache Junction's Transient Lodging Tax for developing an adopted tourism program. Goal 4.6 -Promote public art and local artists as a unique feature of public and private downtown development and for creating a unique niche in the downtown. Strategies - Allocate 1%of the construction cost of all new public projects to be spent for art work within the downtown. a) To the extent allowable under Arizona law,incorporate into the bidding practices certain iocal artist based criteria. b) invite voiunteers from the arts community to review new city public projects for the opportunity to integrate artistic or enhanced design into the project at minimal or no additional cost. c) n Develop an art competition that emphasizes western culture,mining,and the Superstitions for art students at Central Arizona College with a small honorarium. Winning entries could be displayed at visible locations throughout downtown and in Civic/Governmental facilities. d) Work vyith the arts community to secure a vacant building for a local cooperative retail outlet for local artists. e) Goal 4.7 -Indentify and support strong,existing residential neighborhoods that are in or close to the downtown. Strategies - a)Program infrastructure improvements (water,sewer,streets)to eliminate deficiencies and to enhance the livability of the neighborhood. b)Provide safe and convenient pedestrian connections between the neighborhoods and the downtown area with special focus on access to the Downtown Core. n 14 n n c)Establish occasional neighborhood Saturday clean-up events with the city providing staff assistance and concluding with a neighborhood picnic hosted by the city. n Goal 4.8 -Focus on attracting additional quality housing in or near the downtown to support the commercial areas and to provide alternatives for existing new residents. Strategies - a)Allow mixed uses (residential and commercial on same property)by right in all three downtown zones. b)Develop programs to recruit market rate specialty housing for unique groups such as students from Central Arizona College/winter visitors,and seniors. c)Provide a density bonus for market rate multiple family housing that provides 10 percent of its units as affordable. Pursue federal and state funding sources that provide assistance for high quality affordable housing thattmeets the design guidelines of the respective zone. d) Goal 4.9 -Provide a program for negative or outdatedtresidentia l development to upgrade or transition to a more supportive land use. n Strategies - Establish a voluntary rental housing assistance program to aid relocation of residents of outdated developments. a) Conduct regular inspections of developments that have repeated code violations or frequent police calls for service to ensure it is not detrimental to surrounding residential and commercial areas. b) Work with property owners to secure county,state or federal monies to upgrade the existing facilities or build new affordable housing. c) 5.DOWNTOWN CORE Successful downtowns are made up of walkable blocks and streets with a mixture of uses along the sidewalks.The desired elements include access that is easily walkable,places for people to gather either formally or informally,interesting architecture,clear and unique identity,and attention to details.Given the existing governmental and educational uses and the significant amount of vacant land between them,the Downtown Core has then 15 n n opportunity to be the significant center for the City of Apache Junction.The issue then is how to tie these disconnected areas together to create a "there there"in the downtown? n Goal 5.1-Create a Downtown Core that is the commercial,governmental,educational,and symbolic center of the community. Strategies - a)Organize the Downtown Core into three identifiable centers: Governmental Center-Consisting of the extensive city facilities,a Pinal County complex and Federal buildings (Social Security Office and Post Office). I. Educational Center-This is the Central Arizona College campus that presently has 3,000 to 4,000 students with expected campus physical plant expansion to accommodate 11,000 students.The main entrance will be at the intersection of Broadway and Idaho and will represents the entry into downtown Apache Junction. ii. Town Center -The remaining land in the Downtown Core is approximately 180 acresiin size with three existing shopping centers but most of the remaining land vacant.The Town Center area would have a mixture of specialty retail, entertainment venues,offiees>and various types of residential uses that are typical of downtowns.The Town Center would have mandatory southwestern architectural guidelines,pedestrian oriented streets,shaded sidewalks, community gathering space,emphasis on sustainable elements,and clearly defined entry features. III. n b)Reinforce the rdle of the "Y"intersection as the center of town and the downtown as a way of establishing and building community identify. Install twinkle lights on the trees at all four corners of the intersection.I. Move the flag poles to the side of the Focal Point monument to open up theii. view. Strengthen the intensity of the backlights for the figures on the Focal Point.iii. Landscape the northwest corner of the intersection and install a "Welcome to Downtown Apache Junction"sign. IV.n 16 n n C)The Meridian Redevelopment Area boundaries should be modified to include the gap in the Downtown and more closely align with the project study boundaries of the Transition and Suburban Districts. d)Expand the City Center District Zoning to include the entire Town Center area concurrent with the submission of development plans and upon request of the property owner. Goal 5.2 -Incorporate pedestrian and uniquely Apache Junction design elements in the building of the Town Center. Strategies - Approve a new downtown "Main Street"design as a pedestrian oriented street with shaded 8'sidewalks,convenient angle parking/two lanes of traffic and western- oriented street furniture that is friendly to pedestrians and attractive and conducive to "downtown"retail/office uses. a) Systematically build new and rebuild existing non-major roads within the Downtown Core as "Main Streets". b) The City should prosactively improve substandard streets in the area e.g.Plaza Drive, North Apache Trail as "Main Streets". c) Incorporate the Elements of a Great Downtown (Appendix xxx)into the mandatory design guidelines for the review and approval of new private and public projects. d) Incorporate sustainable elements in the downtown as a requirement for new public and private development if the payback of investment is within five years.If there is a longer pay back period,identify opportunities but view them as suggestions. e) Goal 5.3 -The city should proactively explore opportunities to control the development of the Town Center if private develop or redevelopment does not proceed in a timely manner. Strategies - a)Explore the purchase of key parcels as publically owned land in the Town Center and to provide additional road connection between Idaho Road and North Apache Trail.n 17 nn b)Consider the potential of public-private partnerships with the owners of the existing vacant lands within the Town Center.The city emphasis should be on providing infrastructure support for the private market place to work. n C)Work with the property owners of older retail sites to improve the commercial viability of the centers and to explore the potential of a private "Main Street"concept being constructed through the property. d)Encourage the owners of the commercial property south of Apache Trail and west of Phelps Drive to work together to provide an InternaKMain Street"network to open up the various internal properties. Goal 5.4 -Develop a Community and Special Event Location within the Town Center. Strategies - a)Improve North Apache Trail as a "Main Street"and incorporate a community gathering and activity space within the street right of way or adjacent to the street. n b)Consider the potential of acquiring the two fourrunit buildings along North Apache Trail as a possible community gathering place and event center. c)Design the reconstruction of North Apache Trail as a facility that can accommodate special events,includingelectrical outlets,tent spacing,walkable surface,etc. Explore the option of incorporating a roundabout in the reconstruction of North Apache Trail to include a Band Stage in the center to serve as a stage during the times the street is closed for special events. d) Goal 5.5 -Ensure that new development in the downtown core is compatible with adjacent residential development. Strategies - a)High Density housing should be concentrated in the Town Center along Idaho Road and along the North Apache Trail. n b)Lower density residential should be focused along Winchester north of the Old West Highway to ensure compatibility with the existing residential development. 18 n n New development over two stories,especially adjacent to existing residential areas, should provide for a variety of heights to allow selected mountain views. c) n d)Activities that generate noise in the evening should be concentrated toward the middle of the Town Center. Vlil.Supporting Goals and Strategies In addition to the core or fundamental planning principles there are a series of supporting goals and strategies that are important in creating a downtown that is special and uniquely Apache Junction.The goals complementing the core principles include a pedestrian design emphasis,viewing the downtown as a whole rather than a collection of buildings,and positioning it for the 21^*Century as the metropolitan growth continues to impact the community.The emphasis of the Downtown Implementation Strategy Plan Is to connect the vision of the community with a practical path to achieve it.The supporting goals add the fine details that knit the larger fabric of the downtown together. Goal 6.1-Building Form and Designn Strategies-- Incorporate southwestern architecture as the primary design requirements including indigenous materials such as stone,wood,pressed concrete,rusted metal,and desert colors. a) Connect all areas of the Downtown Core with sidewalks that are shaded either by landscaping or building extensions or arcades. b) Select street furniture that reflects a southwestern image including decorative street light fixtures,benches with AJ motif,and equestrian amenities. c) Install a continuous row of street lights along the length of Apache Trail that are unique to Apache Junction. d) Provide a variety of building heights within the Town Center to create the impression that construction occurred over a period of time and preserves the open feel of the desert. e) n 19 nn f)Create a sense of excitement by using color,accent lights,entry signs,and banners within the Downtown with particular focus on the Town Center.n g)The Focal Point should serve as the symbolic centerof Apache Junction and of the downtown.The Focal Point's role should be enhanced by the installation of accent lights,moving the flag poles to a different location,enhancing the adjacent corners of the intersection,and install a "Welcome to Downtown Apache Junction"sign on the northwest corner. Goal 6.2-Accessibility and Infrastructure Strategies - a)Roads - Work with the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT)to install a roundabout at the intersection of Superstition Boulevard and SR 88.The roundabout will address the intersection's traffic impact and provide an opportunity to establish a "Welcome to Downtown AJ"gateway. r> Apache Trail currently has three twelve-foot motor vehicle travel lanes per direction.It should have threeten-foot motor vehicle travel lanes with a six-foot bicycle lane.(The minimum required bicycle lane width is four feet.)Ten-foot motor vehicle travel lanes provide slower travel speeds and expedite lane changing which is necessary for drivers to access roadside businesses. ii. The Apache Trail median should have curb-and-gutter.The left-turn and right- turn lanes should have straight tapered transitions rather than reverse curves. Reverse curve transitions create areas that collect debris,and are difficult to sweep.The wide,decomposed granite median of Apache Trail magnifies this problem.Tapered transitions avoid this problem completely. IN. Scenic Drive should not intersect with Idaho Road.Plaza Drive should curve and intersect with SR-88-Phelps Drive into the parking area of the existing commercial on the east side of SR-88-Phelps.Another curved street should connect Plaza Drive through SR-88-Phelps into Idaho Road on the north side of the existing commercial development on the east side of SR-88-Phelps. iv. n 20 n n With the development of the Town Center consider a trolley circulator that connects the adjacent resident areas,Central Arizona College,and city neighborhoods with the Downtown Core. V. n Install a landscaped median on Idaho Road from the Old West Highway to North Apache Trail intersection.This allows access to be controlled to adjacent properties and provides a visual connection to the Town Center property to the east of Idaho Road. VI. Focus the construction of "Main Streets"where there is existing rights of way and require new development to build theiMain Street",as either a private or public street,at time of development. VII. b)Trails- Connect the downtown to the larger community horse and bike trails system.Allow for safe but convenient equestrian crossings at roadways with heavy traffic to enable accommodating rider access for downtown activities. Install horse facilities within the Town Center at key points as a terminus for the community trail system and accommodate horses with the placement of hitching posts and other equestrian amenities. II. n Establish an equestrian or multi-purpose trail head convenient to the downtown. Consider the intersection of Scenic Drive and Idaho Road as a possible site for a multipurpose facility including an equestrian trailhead.Provide for horse crossing signals at new traffic signal installations at designated horse crossing trails within the downtown. iii. Develop a comprehensive Pedestrian Circulation Plan that connects the three areas of the Downtown Core. iv. Explore the possibility of securing a grant for a "Park and Share"parking facility within the Town Center to allow for car pooling and overflow parking for special events. V. c)Water and Sewer Service - i.Enlarge the water line to 12"on North Apache Trail as part of its reconstruction. 21 n n ii.Offer incentives for existing development within the downtown to connect the local sewer system to the SMCFD #1. n iii.City staff should poll the owners of properties located east of Idaho Road to see if there is interest in forming a water/sewer/roadway improvement district. Communities are receiving very competitive bids right now and it is an opportune to time to install infrastructure improvements at reasonable costs. d)Flood Control - i.The City should conduct a study that framework for handling drainage in the Downtown Revitalization Area,focusing on the area impacted by the FEMA Flood Zone.The study should recommend options to minimize the hazards from flooding and be the basis for refining the limits of the Flood Zone to reflect today's conditions. ii.The City should review its Storm Detention Requirements to develop a methodology to provide a comprehensive approach to storm water collection. All storm detention facilities)where possible)should be placed at the back of new development allowing commercial buildings to be located adjacent to the road.n Goal 6.3-Views of the mountain backdrop at key locations should be preserved and incorporated into the consideration of new developments. Strategies- a)Preserve the view of the Superstition Mountains from the Apache Trail and Phelps Drive Intersection. b)Require a variety of building heights in all large developments to ensure view corridors to the mountains. c)Protect the Four Peaks view along North Apache Trail with the "Main Street"design. n 22 nn Goal 6.4-Identify a variety of event locations and activities that will attract residents and visitors alike into the downtown or the region. O Strategies- a)Work with Pinal County to purchase the rights from the Bureau of Land Management to have for-profit activities at the rodeo grounds. b)In the design and construction of the North Apache Trail "Main Street"incorporate elements that facilitate the use of the street as a Public Space or Central Gathering Place for the community. c)Program this Public Space for scheduled and informal live entertainment activities,such as Friday night country western jamboree. Work with the larger region and regionahorganizations to attract and program special events,such as Day of the Cowboy in the downtown or in nearby facilities. d) Identify existing activities that could be connectedionattracted to a downtown location, such as Barleen's Arizona Opry,Superstition Mountain Museum,art facilities,train or trolley Gonriection to Goldfield Ghost Townj equestrian facilities,etc. e) n Consider the allocation of a dedicated portion of the city's Transient Lodging Tax to promote tourism fori existing businesses and events. f) Goal 6.5®New development in the Downtown Core shall utilize the principles of sustainability and serve as a local example of a model 21®*Century downtown. Strategies- Explore the use of solar collectors to power decorative tree lights in trees in the median and right-of-way of Apache Trail and other low voltage applications. a) Consider alternative paving design that is porous for the on street parking for the "Main Street"design. b) Promote the downtown as a "Green City"as part of its statement as a 21®*Century City working with new developments to encourage incorporation of sustainable elements or LEED certification into their design. c) n 23 n n Goal 6.6-Within the downtown the City Council should be pro-active in eliminating blight and indicators of decline (Nuisance Abatement). Strategies- a)Continue a proactive code enforcement program in the downtown focusing on blight and visual issues as directed by the City's Downtown Coordinator. b)Aggressively and proactively enforce the city code in terms of vacant buildings and properties in disrepair by requiring vacant buildings to be painted and secured and vacant lots to be maintained. c)Utilize volunteers and Community Service workers to do regular maintenance on city property,public rights of way,andiprivate properties owned by low income individuals. d)Establish a downtown "Spring Clean-Up"in the fall of each year prior to the arrival of the winter visitors.The clean up would encourage the city and private property owners to fix up,paint,plant,and generally spruce up the downtown to make it as attractive as possible for the season. e)When normal procedures are not effective the City Council should use abatement procedures to clean up blighted property and bill the property owner.In cases of extreme blight and where the property might serve a public purpose the City council should consider usingthe power of condemnation. IX.Implementation and Measuring Success Process improvements can also serve as an incentive for redevelopment.For example,the City may want to consider doing an automatic "fast track"permit process for projects in the downtown core.For developers,time is money,and so if they know they can secure their entitlements twice as fast in downtown vs.other areas of the City,that may cause them to consider downtown for projects.Another potential process improvement might be to have a dedicated staff member who is focused on downtown and would be very familiar with downtown zoning codes and design standards.Finally,the City might wish to think about a special entitlement track for small scale revitalization projects in the downtown core -i.e. existing project renovations of buildings less than 2,000 sq.ft.This type of project might be able to secure approvals at the counter vs.having to submit for a normal permit process. n in the early stages of any major downtown revitalization program,the City is usually the one who needs to take the lead in moving the process along.As noted above,there are a variety 24 n n of improvements and regulatory changes that the City can do to facilitate this process.Some of these include the following:regulatory changes;permit fee reduction;business facade rebate program;incentives,rebates,subsidies;investment in infrastructure or projects. These changes coupled with process improvements can work together to support private investment. n Goal 7.1-The Downtown revitalization program should be organized as a long-term effort by the City of Apache Junction government,residents,businesses,and property owners. Strategies - a)A five year Capital Improvements Program (CIP)should be developed to include downtown projects.The first year CIP should be specific and include funding source and detail project description.The succeeding years should identify estimate sources of funding. b)An Annual Work Program with an Implementation Matrix should be developed indicating project,responsibility,time frame,and status for all downtown projects. c)The City Council should adopt the Downtown Annual Work program as part of the budget process and have quarterly review of progress in implementing the program. n d)The City of Apache Junction should cooperate and develop strong alliances with existing downtown supporting organizations including Chamber of Commerce,Main Street, regional economic development agencies,and Pinal County. Goal 7.2 -The city organization should place a high focus on implementation of the Downtown Strategy and the revitalization of the downtown. Strategies - a)Create a Downtown Technical Committee chaired by the Assistant City Manager and composed of key staff charged with the responsibility to implement the annual work program. b)Assign a staff person to be the Downtown Coordinator with the day to day responsibility to carry out the adopted Downtown Implementation Strategy. c)Assign additional staff support for Downtown Implementation as necessary to augment the Downtown Coordinator for specific projects. n 25 n n Goal 7.3-The city should review all of its codes,processes,and fees relating to development in the downtown to ensure consistent support for the revitalization program.n Strategies - a)The Zoning Code should be amended to allow staff level approval for Planned Developments for smaller projects in the Transition Zone. b)Modify the Meridian Redevelopment Area boundaries to correspond with the Project Study Area boundaries. c)Zoning code should be amended to reflect the three downtown zones and the unique design requirements,uses and development standards of each. d)An Economic Development web site focusing on the downtown should be developed allowing potential investors and developers to secure all necessary information regarding the downtowrfiat one location. e)The City Toolkit should be revised making it up to date in terms of development requirements,process,fee waivers,incentives,and contacts. n f)Establish a clear and predicable fee waiver process for smaller projects.The fee waiver process should be automatic without having to go to the City Council if the project meets predetermined requirements. Goal 7.4 -The development process improvements should consider how to make the review and process for new development and building permits in the downtown area more efficient. Tbisi should,were appropriate,differentiate between small developments and larger developments. Strategies - Establish a development project tracking system where each city step in the development process would have a time frame identified and based on the response time by the applicant (developer)a more predictable timeframe can be established.The turnaround times by the city would be set in advance with the final schedule being determined by the responsiveness of the applicant. a) b)Require staff comments on development proposals to be submitted in writing at least two days prior to the staff Preliminary Development Review (PDR)meeting.The PDR meeting should focus on reviewing the written comments to identify significant issues and n 26 n n conflicts.The chair of the PDR should be authorized to resolve any issues or conflicts that might arise. n The revised written set of comments should be given to the applicant prior to the beginning of their PDR review meeting.At the PDR meeting,Only the applicant,chair or designee,project manager and any required technical resource from the city should be present. c) Appoint and train planners to be Project Managers to provide a single point of contact and oversight for each planning project and potentially each building permit.The Project Manager becomes responsible for the project from conceptual review through Certificate of Occupancy and is responsible for its success. d) Track development projects and time in the system for each planner with this information shared with staff and management.Send notice of new projects and building permit applications to the City Manager each week. e) f)Prepare an ongoing report on the status;oleachiproject and building permit on a bi weekly basis with special indication of how long it has been in the system and major issues. Conduct semi-annual training programs on customer service for all levels of the organization and departments. g) n h)Establish an ongoing customer feedback system to evaluate all development applications by sending a Customer Survey to the applicant (or met with the applicant)after each development approval>building permit issuance,and Certificate of Occupancy. Goal 7.5 -The city should pursue federal and state grants and programs to revitalize downtown neighborhoodssand commercial areas and determine annually,as part of the budget process,what is the most effective way to spend public dollars to revitalize downtown. Strategies- a)Utilize Community Development Block Grants and State Housing Trust Fund dollars to continue with the city's owner occupied housing rehabilitation program to include housing replacement. b)Explore the creation of a Relocation Assistance Program for change of use of existing substandard mobile home parks. n-C)Seek FEMA and Pinal County Flood Control funding for system drainage improvements along the north side of Apache Trail. 27 n n d)Focus the city's applications for TEA-21 transportation enhancement funding and other grant program funds through the Arizona Department of Transportation toward downtown revitalization projects which address both traffic engineering problems and visual impediments. n e)Direct the cit/s annual allocation of Community Development Block Grant funds toward the revitalization efforts of downtown.

BACKGROUND The City of Apache Junction is eligible to submit applications to the Arizona Department of Housing (“ADOH”)for SSP funding for the Fiscal Year 2010 (“FYIO”).Therefore,the City anticipates submitting an application for the FYIO SSP funds which the City may request up to $300,000 for one project to be used over a two year period of time.These funds are a statewide competitive grant.The City may retain up to 18%of these funds for administrative costs.The application due date for the FYIO SSP application is anticipated to be this winter. n- On November 12,2009 a public meeting was held to solicit input from the public on potential projects for the submission of an application.Technical assistance was provided to the community until November 29,2009 to help formulate projects for consideration and to determine if potential projects met the requirements of the SSP and Community Development Block Grant program.Additionally,on November 12,2009 The Leadership Team met to discuss potential projects for presentation to Council. On November 30,2009 staff presented the proposed projects for Council’s review and discussion. During the December 15,2009 Council Meeting a public hearing was held to gain input from the public and from the Council on potential projects for the submission of the FY 2010 SSP funding.At nn that time the City Council recommended that an application for FYIO SSP be held until the summer of2010forfurtherevaluationanddiscussiononapotentialproject. The projects proposed for funding included; 1)Downtown Redevelopment Project (Commercial Rehabilitation)=$300,0002)Transitional Housing Project =$280,000 3)Housing Rehabilitation =$200,000 4)Rehabilitation of Safe House =$66,000 5)Sewer Connections =$200,000 At the time.Council had shown preference to the Downtown Redevelopment Project and theTransitionalHousingProject. DISCUSSION Since the December 2009 meeting further discussions on the proposed projects have occurred.As areminder,all projects submitted under the Community Development Block Grant (“CDBG”)and SSPprogramsmustmeetanationalobjectiveandbenefitalowincomepopulation.Previous to thistheCityheldacitywidelowincomepopulationofover51%which enabled projects to provide acommunitywidebenefit.Due to our population increase,based upon Department of EconomicSecuritypopulationestimates,the City is no longer eligible to utilize this low income percentage.Therefore all proposed projects must benefit either a limited clientele (i.e.seniors,children,disabledpersons),a low income neighborhood,or be within a redevelopment area. Downtown Redevelopment Project -Commercial Rehabilitation is potentially a viable project forthesouthsideofApacheTrailonlybecausethenorthsideofApacheTrailiscurrentlyinafloodplain.Staff IS currently working with Federal Emergency Management Agency and Pinal County to modifythedesignation.Additionally,the project would only be eligible in the Crossroads RedevelopmentAreauntiltheMeridianRedevelopmentAreaisreaffirmed.Requested amount $300,000. Transitional Housing Project -Upon Council’s recommendation further discussion was made withCommunityAllianceAgainstFamilyAbuse(“CAAFA”)regarding the proposed project.CAAFA hasrequestedtoremovethisprojectfromconsiderationduetotheeconomicsoftheprojectandtheimpactontheirbudget. Housing Rehabilitation -The City has recently been fortunate to obtain multiple grant awards forHousingRehabilitationwhichhasresultedinover$600,000 available funding for the program.It isstaffsrecommendationthatthisproject application. Rehabilitation of a Safe House -CAAFA had also requested funding for the rehabilitation of theirsafehouse.The improvements would include:structural repairs,code compliance remediation,ADAaccessibility,and security.Council had expressed concern that the “benefd”would not go solely toCityresidentsratherpersonsfromothercommunities.At present there is no real guarantee.Requestedamountmaximum$66,000. n year. n longer be considered for funding under this grantno n O Sewer Connections -Many City residents are not currently hooked to the sewer system and cannot afford to do so.These funds will provide a program where applicants must meet specific criteria in order to be eligible.The grant would pay for all associated costs in the hook up and installation of lines.It is estimated that twenty homes will be hooked to the sewer system.Requested amount $200,000. Barring any objection from Council,staff will move forward with a public hearing for Council to accept additional projects for consideration.It is anticipated that the Council select a project for submission at the conclusion of the public hearing.n RECOMMENDATION Staff respectfully requests that Council review and discuss potential projects for the submission of a FY10 State Special Project application.

ATTACHMENTS: Click to download Q Cover Memo ..o City of Apache Junction Development Services Department To:Mayor and City Council Brad Steinke,Director of Development Services June 24,2010 Development Fee Ordinance Appeal From: Date:nRE: On June 24,2010,the City received a written request from Colleen Ryan to appeal and waive the required $9,508 development fee for construction of a home on her client’s property located at570E.26'^Avenue (see attached letter).Ms Ryan was notified of the fee by the city on June 23, 2010,so her appeal was submitted within the 30 day timeline. Ms Ryan is hoping that the Council will waive the fee due to her client’s financial condition and the fact that a home previously existed on the property [Note:If a building permit was issuedwithinoneyearofthepreviousresidencebeingremoved,no development fee would be required according to our code.As it turns out,the previous residence was removed four years ago]. Article 7-1-1-M (Relief Procedures and Hearings)of the Land Development Code provides, among other things,that the City Council must hold a public hearing on the appeal within 45 days after received by the Development Fee Administrator (see attached code section regarding development fee appeals).The ordinance does not,however,apply standards or criteria to the Council’s review and deteimination of these types of appeals. Staff Recommendation: Development Services staff recommends that the City Council review and discuss the appellant’srequestattheJuly6‘**meeting.Staff will then schedule an August 3*^^public hearing for council action on the requested appeal.If the Council does not make a decision on August 3^^immediately after the public participation portion of the meeting is closed and after council discussion,the matter is deemed approved. [Historical Note:Council members are reminded that the council reviewed and approved a similar request for waiver from Debbie Johnson on February 16,2010.You may recall that Ms Johnson’s property had a 2-year gap between removal and replacement of a residence on her property.] n n n Article 7-1 Develonment Fees M-Relief Procedures and Hearings The developer who owes,has paid a development fee,or disputes the offsetamountdeterminedbytheDevelopmentFeeAdministratormayappealtotheMayorandCityCouncil.Such appeal must be filed with the Development FeeAdministratorinwriting:1)within (30)calendar days after the date the Citynotifiedthedeveloperofanassessmentoroffsetdetermination;or 2)within thirty(30)calendar days after the developer paid the development fee.In either case anybuildingpermitissuedbeforetheappealisfiledshallbeconsideredstayeduntilaftertheappealprocesshasconcluded.Any work in progress completed during theappealprocessshallbeperformedatthedeveloper's own risk.Failure to pay thedevelopmentfeesasdeterminedonappealshallresultinthewithholdingbytheatyoftheCertificateofOccupancyofDeveloper's project.The City Council mustholdahearingontheappealwithinforty-five (45)calendar days after received bytheDevelopmentFeeAdministrator.The Council's failure to hold a public hearingwithintheforty-five (45)calendar days absent a continuance request by thedeveloper,shall result in the developer's position prevailing over the City's.ThedecisionoftheMayorandCityCouncilshallbeconsideredthefinaladministrativedecisionoftheCity. n n or> Colleen A.Ryan Realtor® Long Realty Partners lOllN.Val Vista, Suite 101 Gilbert,AZ 85234 480-703-6747 cell June 24,2010 n The City of Apache Junction 300 E Superstition Blvd Apache Junction,AZ 85119 RE:Request for Waiver of Impact Fee Respected Council Members, I am writing to you on behalf of my client who would like to purchase the vacant lot located at570E.26“*Avenue,Apache Junction,Arizona 85119 and put a new home there.However,in the process of due diligence on my part,I discovered that if my client were to purchase the lot and place a home on the lot,they would be subject to an Impact Fee of $9,508..The purpose of my letter is to request a waiver of the Impact Fee. On December 2,2005,the property closed escrow,and sometime between that date and February 2006,the house which was built in approximately 1977,was removed from the property.Since early 2006,the owners were unsuccessful twice in selling this vacant lot and lost it to the bank who has now had it on the market for 90 days. This particular lot is desirable to my client because of price,geographic location and the fact that water,electric and cable,are on the property,with an existing 1,500 gallon septic in place. As a retiree,my client has a budget for their retirement home and they cannot absorb the $9,508 for the Impact Fee.Because this is an established lot that has had a structure on it in the recent past,I respectfully request that you waive the Impact Fee. n I sincerely appreciate your consideration and review of this request and look forward to receiving your decision.

Most of the Public Safety Department’s servers are over three years old.Two are over five years old.The computer servers serve a vital role in PD’s 24/7 operations. If any of the computer servers fail the department would lose the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD)program,which is a vital component of our Communications Center. CAD also serves the Mobile Data Computers the police officers use in the field to obtain time sensitive information regarding calls they are dispatched to.In addition,the Records Management System (RMS)program that maintains the department’s police reports would be adversely affected.Other areas that have potential for failure if servers aren’t replaced involve evidence software,backup systems and storage of files. Vision Air is upgrading the mobile software in November which requires a new server and SQL 2008 to complete the upgrade.Several of our current servers are unable to handle these necessary upgrades. If these servers are not replaced,instead the service contracts are extended and a server goes down it will cost approximately $120.00 for the initial service call.If the situation requires a technician to respond or if replacement parts are involved,there could be substantial additional cost. IT Director Earl Simmers was consulted on the issue and agrees that replacement oftheserversiscriticalandhasmoreofacostbenefittotheCityratherthanextending thewarranties. n Page 1 of 1 nn ROLL CALL VOTE NOTES: \ n 'Am\^StL MEETING OFITEM# SECONDED BY:MOTION BY: ABSTAINEDESNO COUNCILMEMBER BARKER zCOUNCILMEMBERCOLEMAN zCOUNCILMEMBERWILSON .7COUNCILMEMBERDIETZ 7VICEMAYORECK COUNCILMEMBER SERDY MAYOR INSALACO n ABSTAINEDOPPOSEDINFAVORUNANIMO TOTAL ITEM NO.12 I MOVE THAT THE PURCHASE OF COMPUTER SERVERS AND RELATED SOFTWARE FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT FROM DELL L.P.IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $108,000 BE RATIFIED. n nCityofApacheJunction Home of the Superstition Mountains Print TO:City Manager's Office David Fern,Public Works Director July 6,2010 FROM: DATE: n Agenda Type: Council Priority Focus Area: Regular Agenda Community Infrastructure TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM: DISCUSSION ON SECOND AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT FOR MATERIALLOWERANDRAISEMANHOLESANDVALVESWITHTALISCONSTRUCTIONCORP.
