City of Apache Junction,Arizona Page 1 Printed on 4/6/2026 City of Apache Junction I� 300 East Superstition Boulevard • Apache Junction, Arizona 85119 MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members THROUGH: Bryant Powell, City Manager FROM: Liz Langenbach, Parks and Recreation Director DATE: April 6, 2026 SUBJECT: Updates to Chapter 4-1: Parks and Recreation Fee Schedule Apache Junction City Code Volume I, Chapter 4: Fees, Article 4-1: Parks And Recreation Fee Schedule addresses parks and recreation fees. Fees are required by the state of Arizona to be reviewed every five years to insure they are aligned with the local market, the community needs, and changes in other laws. The parks and recreation department has historically used three primary funding sources to provide high quality programs, services, and facilities for the community: 1) general fund (sales tax); 2) development fee fund; and 3) user fees. These are supplemented by various smaller sources such as grants, donations, corporate partnerships, etc. The fee review and potential updates will work to accomplish the following: 1. General Market Comparison Parks and Recreation fees were last updated in 2021. Due to changing dynamics within other funding sources (i.e. state-shared revenues, local economy, increasing operating costs, etc) — it is more important than ever to evaluate revenue streams and ensure the city balances the community needs with the cost of operations. The recommended updates will aim to increase only those fees that are substantially below market. 2. New Amenity/Service Fee Considerations With the introduction of renovated facilities at the Rodeo Event Center, staff will need to add new use fees for new items such as the large pavilion, vendor electricity, and RV hook-ups. The Parks and Recreation Commission will make final recommendations to the City Council and once Council is satisfied with proposed changes, the fees will be discussed and voted on at a future public hearing. The intent is to have any approved changes effective January 1 st, 2027. Thank you, for your consideration.

LOCATION: The subject site is located near the northeast corner of S . Acacia Road & E. Southern Ave. (APN 103-21-025F, 103-21- 025G, 103-21-025H, 103-21-025E, 103-21- 026E, 103-21-026G, 103-21-026C, and 103- 21-026F) Cases P-25-59-PZ March 24,2026 Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report 2 GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: High Density Residential (40 DU/AC Max) (west half) and Commercial (east half) ZONING DESIGNATION: High Density Multiple-Family Residential by Planned Development ("RM-1/PD") , General Commercial ("B-1") , and General Rural Low Density Single-Family Detached Residential ("RS-GR") SURROUNDING USES : North: Vacant "RS-GR" Residential Lot, Old West Highway, "B-1" property developed as a wedding & event venue; South: Pinal County Residentially zoned properties, Goldview "RS-5/PD" residential subdivision; East: Vacant General Commercial "B-1" property; West: "RS-GR" Residential Properties, both developed and vacant . PROPOSALS P-25-59-PZ is a proposal by Diamante Homes, Inc. to rezone approximately 7 . 96 net acres (8 . 29 gross acres) , currently zoned High Density Multiple-Family Residential by Planned Development ("RM-1/PD") , General Commercial ("B-1") , and General Rural Low Density Single-Family Detached Residential ("RS-GR") to High Density Multiple-Family Residential by Planned Development ("RM- 2/PD") with a new planned development overlay to authorize the development of a 129 lot townhome subdivision to be platted for individual ownership. This results in a density of 16 . 2 Dwelling Units per Net Acre (15 . 6 dwelling units per gross acre) . As a portion of the subject site (approximately 3 . 75 net acres) is designated "Commercial" by the General Plan, a Minor General Plan Amendment to the land use map is also requested to amend the land use designation of the east-side subject properties (103-21-026E, 103-21-026G, 103-21-026C, and 103-21-026F) to match the "High Density Residential" designation of the west- side subject properties (103-21-025F, 103-21-025G, 103-21-025H, and 103-21-025E) to facilitate the rezoning. Cases P-25-59-PZ March 24,2026 Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report 3 BACKGROUND The proposed rezoning involves eight (8) separate parcels with different zoning histories, however only Parcel 103-21-026C, zoned General Rural Low Density Single-Family Detached Residential "RS-GR", was ever developed, previously being developed with a single-family home that has since been demolished and removed from the property. Parcels 103-21-026E, 103-21-026G, and 103-21-026F are zoned General Commercial "B-1", however they have not been developed. Parcels 103-21-025F, 103-21-025G, 103-21-025H, and 103-21-025E are zoned High Density Multiple-Family Residential by Planned Development ("RM-1/PD") , having previously been rezoned in 2003 with planned development approval for a 25-unit detached, single family condominium subdivision by Ordinance No. 1183 . Plans were further amended to modify amenity requirements for the proposed community in 2005 by Ordinance 1254, however the community was never developed. PLANNED DEVELOPMENT REQUEST The applicant requests the use of a planned development (PD) overlay to modify the minimum street width for the interior streets of the community from 28' to 26' in order to facilitate the site design as proposed. This modification of zoning standards is identified as a possible deviation that may be granted by council approval per the Apache Junction Zoning Ordinance § 1-7-6 Private Street Standards : (A) Private streets shall be a minimum of 28 feet in unobstructed width of paved surface (back of curb to back of curb, if curbs are installed) with a 20-foot-by-20-foot cutoff at intersections or a minimum turning radius of 20 feet. Narrower private streets may be permitted, subject to City Council review and approval . PLANNING STAFF ANALYSIS Relationship to General Plan: The subject site is split by two different General Plan Land Use Designations, with the west-side properties being designated by the city' s General Plan as "High Density Residential (40 DU/AC Cases P-25-59-PZ March 24,2026 Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report 4 Max) ", which specifically promotes this type of denser residential development, and the east-side properties being designated "Commercial", which is used to promote commercial, office, retail, and business uses . The subject site is bordered by the "Medium Density Residential (10 DU/AC Max) " Land Use designation on the west and southeast sides of the property, the "Commercial" designation to the north and to the east of the property, and "Low Density Residential (1 DU/1 . 25 AC) " in the Pinal County island to the south of the property, across Southern Avenue . l �1 n� F FO fyky a� •� O '2 rr p; r.rypynr on G Corwrweeen 11 DWAC) F hefiAaRr _ Med,wn Denny Rewen[a3 110 DUJAC Mul eng 9-D R-0e 1(40 DU/AC MW Do.rrtow�M."d UN :bs:er W nr.W Com*.vny(20 DUiAC Mai ;ammercei g1n enemal.'Bu.+au ce.t ew ir.euwvi Pinal Eounilh6mffiL own Swce end Reoee:•o' With the varied land use designations all promoting a wide variety of land use patterns in this specific area, planning staff have evaluated this project based on its specific location Cases P-25-59-PZ March 24,2026 Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report 5 along the Old West Highway corridor, approaching the US 60, the property' s position along an arterial (but not at an intersection) , and the context of development in the surrounding area. In Staff' s analysis of this location and the proposal, Staff believes this proposed development plan utilizes a historically vacant property in a manner that complies with the General Plan by meeting the following General Plan Goals & Policies : • Policy 5 . 1 . 1 - Strategically identify infill opportunity sites that can accommodate office, industrial, entertainment, retail, and housing and mitigate barriers to development. • Goal 3 . 2 : Diversify housing stock and neighborhoods by incorporating a variety of housing • Goal 9 . 3 : Promote the downtown, U. S . 60 Corridor and Old West Highway Corridor for infill projects . Zoning/Site Context: The subject property is surrounded by residential land uses, as well as undeveloped commercially-zone properties, as noted: • North of the property is a vacant "RS-GR" residential lot, and, across Old West Highway, a "B-1" property developed as a wedding & event venue . • South of the property is a Pinal County island with `large- lot' residentially-zoned properties, and to the southeast, within city limits, is the "Goldview" Medium/High Density Single-Family Detached Residential "RS-5/PD" residential subdivision; • East of the property is a vacant "B-1" General Commercial property across Starr Road. • West of the property are a couple developed "RS-GR" residential lot, as well as larger, undeveloped "RS-GR" lots along Acacia Road.

Infrastructure & Site Improvements: The applicant will be required to connect to all necessary services, including electricity through SRP, water through the Apache Junction Water District, and sewer connections . Some of these utilities will require extensions to connect to the existing infrastructure network, which the developer has been made aware of through the planning process and coordination with these agencies . All other necessary and required on-site and off-site improvements, including retention basins, dust-proof surfacing, perimeter walls, and landscape buffers will be built at the time of development. Public Input: The applicant sent out neighborhood meeting notification letters to the property owners within a three-hundred (300' ) radius, per Cases P-25-59-PZ March 24,2026 Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report the standard requirements of a rezoning, notifying neighbors of the proposed development and providing them contact information to learn more about the project. The advertised neighborhood meeting was held at the Apache Junction High School, 2525 S Ironwood Drive, advertised for Tuesday, September 2, 2025, at 6 : 00 PM. Five members of the community attended and questions regarding the site planning and access, water sourcing, utility easements, traffic, building timelines, landscaping, construction dust, and the proposed price point were discussed. Staff have not received any comments via phone or e-mail regarding the proposed development at the time of this staff report. FINDINGS OF FACT FOR PLANNED DEVELOPMENT REZONING As noted previously, the planned development deviation requested is regarding the approval of a narrower interior street, from the 28' standard to the requested 26' . As required by the Apache Junction Zoning Ordinance, a Planned Development request may be approved by the City Council after consideration has been given to three different criteria. The criteria are outlined in the text below: 1 . That a better design cannot be achieved by applying the strict provisions of the underlying zoning district. Applicant Response: Yes. The proposed 26-foot street width (reduced from 28-foot standard) achieves superior design through: • Enhanced Site Utilization: Maximized area for landscaping and resident amenities • Environmental Integration: Reduced site disturbance and improved stormwater management • Community Focus: Additional space allocated to recreational opportunities and landscape buffers 2 . That strict adherence to the provisions of the zoning ordinance is not required in order to ensure the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the proposed development. Cases P-25-59-PZ March 24,2026 Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report 8 Applicant Response: Strict adherence to 28-foot width is unnecessary for health, safety, and welfare. The 26-foot width maintains: • Emergency Access: Full compliance with fire department and emergency vehicle requirements • Traffic Safety: Adequate circulation with enhanced pedestrian safety through traffic calming • Infrastructure Functionality: Complete utility access and service delivery capabilities • Enhanced Safety: Improved sight lines and natural traffic control through additional landscaping 3 . That strict adherence to the ordinance is not required to ensure that property values of adjacent properties will not be reduced. Applicant Response: Strict adherence is not required to protect adjacent property values. The development enhances surrounding properties through: • Quality Standards: Superior construction and comprehensive site planning elevating neighborhood appeal • Compatible Design: Harmonious integration with existing residential character • Infrastructure Enhancement: Efficient utility utilization and area improvements through development contributions • Market Enhancement: Quality multi-family development serving as positive market catalyst for surrounding properties FINDINGS OF FACT FOR MINOR GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT As required by the Apache Junction General Plan, a Minor General Plan request may be approved by the City Council after consideration has been given to specific criteria. The criteria are outlined in the text below: 1 . Whether the amendment proposes a land use designation that the Land Use Plan Map does not adequately provide optional sites to accommodate . Applicant Response: The amendment does not propose a land use designation that is inadequately provided elsewhere. The City's General Plan designates substantial areas throughout the city for High Density Residential development, particularly in the downtown core and along major transportation corridors. This specific location at Southern Avenue and Acacia Road provides a strategic Cases P-25-59-PZ March 24,2026 Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report 9 infill opportunity that complements the existing residential character of the immediate neighborhood while providing housing diversity near commercial services. 2 . Whether the amendment constitutes an overall improvement to the General Plan, will not solely benefit a particular landowner or owners at a particular point in time, and is consistent with the overall intent of the 2020 General Plan. Applicant Response: Yes, the amendment constitutes an overall improvement to the General Plan. The proposal supports multiple General Plan goals: Housing Element (Chapter 3) : -Goal 3.2: "Diversify housing stock and neighborhoods by incorporating a variety of housing types and associated values to allow for a diverse demographic of residents" - The townhome development directly fulfills this goal by providing an alternative housing type -Goal 3. 3: "Maintain and attract a quality housing stock in condition, design and construction standards" - Diamante Homes will deliver quality construction meeting modern standards -Goal 3. 4: "Incorporate sustainable practices in all housing development" - The project can integrate green building practices and sustainable design Growth Areas Element (Chapter 9) : -Goal 9. 3: "Encourage infill development" - The proposal transforms an underutilized site with existing infrastructure access -Policy under Goal 9. 3: "Promote the downtown, U. S. 60 Corridor and Old West Highway Corridor for infill projects" - While not directly in these corridors, the project supports the city's overall infill strategy Land Use Element (Chapter 11) -Goal 11 . 3: "Revitalize older neighborhoods and the downtown" with the policy to "Encourage infill development with a variety of housing types" - This proposal provides exactly this type of housing variety in an established area Downtown Element (Chapter 4) : -Goal 4. 8: "Provide a variety of housing options" - Townhomes expand the housing spectrum available to residents Cases P-25-59-PZ March 24,2026 Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report 10 The amendment benefits the broader community by providing needed housing diversity and does not solely benefit the landowner, as it creates housing opportunities for future residents and supports the City's housing diversification objectives. The General Plan's Community Profile (page xiii-xiv) specifically identifies housing diversification as a critical need, noting that "63 percent of the city's residences" are manufactured/ recreational vehicle homes, and "only 27 percent of the city's housing stock is considered single family development. " The Plan explicitly states: "As young people grow out of their parent's home it is important to have a diversity of housing types in order to keep new generations within the city. " The proposal aligns with the General Plan's by providing quality housing that maintains the community character while offering modern living options. This amendment represents a strategic improvement that serves the community's long-term housing needs as identified in the comprehensive planning process. 3 . Whether the proposed amendment is justified by an error in the 2020 General Plan as originally adopted. Applicant Response: The amendment is not justified by an error in the 2020-2050 General Plan. Rather, it represents a refinement that better serves the community's housing needs while maintaining compatibility with surrounding uses. 4 . Whether the proposed change is generally consistent with goals, objectives, and other elements of the 2010 General Plan. Applicant Response: See the responses to No. 2 above. 5 . Whether the proposed change is justified by a change in community conditions or neighborhood characteristics since adoption of the Plan. Applicant Response: Yes, the change is justified by evolving community conditions: • Increased demand for diverse housing options, particularly townhomes • Recognition that the corner location is more suitable for residential use than commercial, given the residential character of the immediate surroundings • Need for housing that serves different demographic groups and income levels Cases P-25-59-PZ March 24,2026 Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report 11 • Market demand for medium-density housing products in established neighborhoods 6 . Whether the amendment will adversely impact a portion of, or the entire community by: a. Significantly altering acceptable existing land use patterns, especially in established neighborhoods . Applicant Response: No adverse impact. The proposal maintains the residential character of the area while providing appropriate density near the Southern Avenue corridor. b. Significantly reducing the housing to jobs balance in the Planning Area. Applicant Response: No adverse impact. The proposal increases housing supply, which improves the housing-to-jobs balance. c. Substantially decreasing existing and future water supplies . Applicant Response: No adverse impact. The development will connect to existing utility infrastructure and comply with water conservation requirements. d. Replacing employment with residential uses . Applicant Response: Minimal impact. While a small commercial area is converted to residential, the corner location was not optimal for significant employment generation. e . Requiring additional and more expensive improvements to infrastructure systems and/or proximity to municipal facilities and/or services than are needed to support the prevailing land uses and which, therefore, may impact the level of service for existing and proposed developments in other areas . Applicant Response: No impact. The development will utilize existing infrastructure systems and provide improvements that benefit the broader area. Any proposed improvements will be sized appropriately for the area's planned development. Cases P-25-59-PZ March 24,2026 Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report 12 f. Increasing traffic (without mitigation measures) on existing roadways beyond the planned level of service, and that negatively impact existing and planned land uses . Applicant Response: No significant adverse impact. Residential use typically generates less traffic than commercial development. g. Affecting the existing character (i .e . , visual, physical and functional) of the immediate area. Applicant Response: No adverse impact. The development maintains the residential character while providing appropriate density transition. h. Increasing the exposure of residents to aviation generated noise, safety and/or flight operations . Applicant Response: Not applicable to this location. i . Materially diminishing the environmental quality of the air, water, land, or cultural resources . Applicant Response: No adverse impact. The development is a relatively low-intensity residential use that will not diminish the environmental quality of the air, water, land, or cultural resources. j . Significantly altering recreational amenities such as open space, parks, and trails . Applicant Response: No adverse impact. The amendment will not significantly alter recreational amenities. The Site does not contain existing parks, trails, or open space features, and the development will provide appropriate landscaping and open space as required by the City.

INTRODUCTION Diamante Homes ("Diamante") is under contract to purchase approximately 8.29 gross (7.05± net) acres at the northeast corner of Southern Avenue and Acacia Road ("the Site") in Apache Junction, Arizona. Diamante proposes to develop the Site as "Acacia," a thoughtfully planned, platted, gated community of 129 townhomes. Acacia is designed to address the City of Apache Junction's (the "City") critical need for diverse, quality housing options, providing an attractive alternative housing choice within the City. Accordingly, Diamante Homes respectfully requests: 1. Approval of a minor General Plan Amendment on a portion of the Site from "Commercial"to "High Density Residential"; 2. Rezoning of the Site from RS-GR (General Rural), B-1 (Neighborhood Commercial), and RM-I/PD (Low Density Multiple-Family with PD Overlay) to RM-2/PD (High Density Multiple-Family with Planned Development Overlay); 3. Site Plan and Design Review approval for a 129-unit townhome community. II. SITE AND SURROUNDING AREA An aerial of the Site is attached as Exhibit 1. The Site consists of approximately 8.29 gross acres of vacant land at the northeast corner of Southern Avenue and Acacia Road. Immediately north and east of the Site are established single-family residential neighborhoods. To the south and west, properties include a mix of commercial and residential uses, as well as vacant parcels. The Site is currently designated for a mix of commercial and residential zoning. The location is an ideal infill opportunity,with convenient access to Acacia Road, Southern Avenue, and Old West Highway proximity to neighborhood shopping, and existing utility infrastructure. III. PROPOSED MINOR GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT As discussed, Diamante is proposing a minor amendment to the City's General Plan from "Commercial"to "High Density Residential." A. General Plan Criteria The proposed multi-family development meets the City's General Plan Criteria to consider a minor amendment to the General Plan: 1. Whether the amendment proposes a land use designation that the Land Use Plan Map does not adequately provide optional sites to accommodate. The amendment does not propose a land use designation that is inadequately provided elsewhere. The City's General Plan designates substantial areas throughout the city for High Density Residential development, particularly in the downtown core and along major transportation corridors. This specific location at Southern Avenue and Acacia Road provides a strategic infill opportunity that complements the existing residential character of the immediate neighborhood while providing housing diversity near commercial services. I 2. Whether the amendment constitutes an overall improvement to the General Plan,will not solely benefit a particular landowner or owner at a particular point in time, and is constituent with the overall intent of the 2020-2050 General Plan. Yes,the amendment constitutes an overall improvement to the General Plan. The proposal supports multiple General Plan goals: Housing Element(Chapter 3): Goal 3.2: "Diversify housing stock and neighborhoods by incorporating a variety of housing types and associated values to allow for a diverse demographic of residents" - The townhome development directly fulfills this goal by providing an alternative housing type Goal 3.3: "Maintain and attract a quality housing stock in condition, design and construction standards" - Diamante Homes will deliver quality construction meeting modern standards Goal 3.4: "Incorporate sustainable practices in all housing development" - The project can integrate green building practices and sustainable design Growth Areas Element(Chapter 9): Goal 9.3: "Encourage infill development"-The proposal transforms an underutilized site with existing infrastructure access Policy under Goal 9.3: "Promote the downtown, U.S. 60 Corridor and Old West Highway Corridor for infill projects" - While not directly in these corridors, the project supports the city's overall infill strategy Land Use Element (Chapter 11): Goal 11.3: "Revitalize older neighborhoods and the downtown"with the policy to"Encourage infill development with a variety of housing types" - This proposal provides exactly this type of housing variety in an established area Downtown Element(Chapter 4): Goal 4.8: "Provide a variety of housing options" - Townhomes expand the housing spectrum available to residents The amendment benefits the broader community by providing needed housing diversity and does not solely benefit the landowner, as it creates housing opportunities for future residents and supports the City's housing diversification objectives. The General Plan's Community Profile (page xiii-xiv) specifically identifies housing diversification as a critical need, noting that "63 percent of the city's residences" are manufactured/recreational vehicle homes, and "only 27 percent of the city's housing stock is considered single family development." The Plan explicitly states: "As young people grow out of their parent's home it is important to have a diversity of housing types in order to keep new generations within the city." The proposal aligns with the General Plan's by providing quality housing that maintains the community character while offering modern living options. This amendment represents a strategic improvement that serves the community's long-term housing needs as identified in the comprehensive planning process. 3. Whether the proposed amendment is justified by an error in the 2020-2050 General Plan as originally adopted. 2 The amendment is not justified by an error in the 2020-2050 General Plan. Rather, it represents a refinement that better serves the community's housing needs while maintaining compatibility with surrounding uses. 4. Whether the proposed change is generally consistent with goals, objectives, and other elements of the 2020-2050 General Plan. See the responses to No. 2 above. 5. Whether the proposed change is justified by a change in community conditions or neighborhood characteristics since adoption of the Plan. Yes, the change is justified by evolving community conditions: • Increased demand for diverse housing options, particularly townhomes • Recognition that the corner location is more suitable for residential use than commercial, given the residential character of the immediate surroundings • Need for housing that serves different demographic groups and income levels • Market demand for medium-density housing products in established neighborhoods 6. Whether the amendment will adversely impact portion of, or entire community by: a. Significantly altering acceptable existing land use patterns, especially in established neighborhoods. No adverse impact. The proposal maintains the residential character of the area while providing appropriate density near the Southern Avenue corridor. b. Significantly reducing the housing to jobs balance in the Planning Area. No adverse impact. The proposal increases housing supply, which improves the housing-to-jobs balance. c. Substantially decreasing existing and future water supplies. No adverse impact. The development will connect to existing utility infrastructure and comply with water conservation requirements. d. Replacing employment with residential uses. Minimal impact. While a small commercial area is converted to residential, the corner location was not optimal for significant employment generation. e. Requiring additional and more expensive improvements to infrastructure systems and/or proximity to municipal facilities and/or services than are needed to support the prevailing land uses and which, therefore, may impact the level of service for the existing and proposed developments in other areas. No impact. The development will utilize existing infrastructure systems and provide improvements that benefit the broader area. Any proposed improvements will be sized appropriately for the area's planned development. f. Increasing traffic (without mitigation measures) on existing roadways beyond the planned level of service, and that negatively impacts existing and planned land uses. 3 No significant adverse impact. Residential use typically generates less traffic than commercial development. g. Affecting the existing character (i.e., visual, physical, and functional) of the immediate area. No adverse impact. The development maintains the residential character while providing appropriate density transition. h. Increases the exposure of residents to aviation generated noise, safety and/or flight operations. Not applicable to this location. i. Materially diminishing the environmental quality of the air, water, land, or cultural resources. No adverse impact. The development is a relatively low-intensity residential use that will not diminish the environmental quality of the air,water,land,or cultural resources. j. Significantly altering recreational amenities such as open space, parks, and trails. No adverse impact. The amendment will not significantly alter recreational amenities. The Site does not contain existing parks, trails, or open space features, and the development will provide appropriate landscaping and open space as required by the City. IV. PROPOSED REZONING Diamante is proposing the Site be rezoned from RS-GR, B-1, and RM-I/PD to RM-2/PD. Diamante's proposed application and development plans for a quality multi-family development are compatible with the City's General Plan and are a viable and sustainable solution on this Site. The proposed PD Overlay is to modify the street width for this multi-family residential to allow a townhomes community at a density that is appropriate for the area: Regulation City's Development Proposed Development Regulations Regulations 1-7-6.A 28' Width 26' Width Private Street Standards Justification: The reduced street width maximizes available area for landscaping and resident amenities while minimizing site disturbance. This approach allows buildings to follow existing topography more closely, preserving the site's natural character and reducing required grading operations. Key benefits include: • Enhanced landscape and amenity area allocation • Reduced impervious surface area and heat island effects • Minimized cut and fill operations preserving natural grade • Expanded usable outdoor space for residents • Improved stormwater management through increased permeable areas 4 The modified street width maintains full emergency vehicle access requirements while optimizing the development footprint for sustainable site utilization and enhanced community amenities. A. Findings of Fact Acacia meeting the PD Overlay criteria as follows: a) If a better design can be achieved by not applying the strict provisions of the zoning district. Yes. The proposed 26-foot street width (reduced from 28-foot standard) achieves superior design through: • Enhanced Site Utilization: Maximized area for landscaping and resident amenities • Environmental Integration: Reduced site disturbance and improved stormwater management • Community Focus: Additional space allocated to recreational opportunities and landscape buffers b) If adherence to the strict provisions of the zoning district is not required in order to ensure health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the development. Strict adherence to 28-foot width is unnecessary for health, safety, and welfare. The 26- foot width maintains: • Emergency Access: Full compliance with fire department and emergency vehicle requirements • Traffic Safety: Adequate circulation with enhanced pedestrian safety through traffic calming • Infrastructure Functionality: Complete utility access and service delivery capabilities • Enhanced Safety: Improved sight lines and natural traffic control through additional landscaping c) If adherence to the strict provisions of the zoning district is not required in order to ensure that property values of adjacent properties will not be reduced. Strict adherence is not required to protect adjacent property values. The development enhances surrounding properties through: • Quality Standards: Superior construction and comprehensive site planning elevating neighborhood appeal • Compatible Design: Harmonious integration with existing residential character • Infrastructure Enhancement: Efficient utility utilization and area improvements through development contributions • Market Enhancement: Quality multi-family development serving as positive market catalyst for surrounding properties B. Density Justification The proposed density of 15.6 dwelling units per gross acre is appropriate and well justified for this Site based on multiple contextual, planning, and design factors: 5 Compatibility with Zoning Classification.The RM-2 zoning district permits densities up to 18 dwelling units per acre; this proposal falls comfortably within the allowable density range while remaining 13% below the maximum permitted density. This demonstrates a measured approach that respects the zoning framework while providing housing diversity. Arterial Corridor Location. The Site's frontage along Southern Avenue, a major arterial corridor, makes it particularly appropriate for medium-density residential development. Higher- density housing along arterial streets is a fundamental tenet of sound land use planning, as it: • Maximizes efficient use of land served by major infrastructure and transportation facilities; • Provides appropriate density transition between commercial/arterial uses and lower- density residential neighborhoods; • Concentrates residential density where residents have convenient access to transportation, shopping, and services; • Reduces vehicle miles traveled by locating housing near employment and commercial centers. Locating higher-density residential development along arterial corridors rather than interior residential streets protects the character of established single-family neighborhoods while meeting the community's housing needs. Infill Development Best Practices. The Site represents an infill opportunity with existing water, sewer, drainage, and utility infrastructure. Efficient infill development on underutilized parcels is a key principle of sustainable growth. The proposed density makes economically efficient use of existing public infrastructure investments, avoiding the need for costly extensions of utilities and services to undeveloped areas. Site Constraints and Efficient Land Use. The Site's 8.29 gross acres includes natural features and constraints that must be respected in the development design. The existing wash running through the property has been integrated into the amenity area, reducing the effective developable area. The proposed density represents an efficient use of the developable portions of the Site while preserving environmental features and providing over 20%of the entire Site as open space landscaped areas. A lower density would not efficiently utilize this infill site or justify the infrastructure improvements required for development. Housing Diversity and Market Demand. As acknowledged in the City's General Plan, Apache Junction has a significant need for housing diversity beyond manufactured housing and single-family development. The proposed development is essential to deliver quality townhome product for working families, young professionals, and residents seeking to downsize. The proposed density strikes the appropriate balance between meeting documented housing needs and maintaining quality design standards. Townhome Product Type. The townhome building type inherently requires higher density than single-family detached homes to be economically feasible while maintaining quality construction standards. Townhomes provide an important "missing middle" housing option between apartment complexes and single-family homes. Each unit includes a two-car attached garage and private patio, offering homeownership amenities while achieving density appropriate for the location. The proposed density allows for proper building spacing, adequate landscaping, 6 comprehensive amenities, and attractive streetscapes that would not be achievable at lower densities. Compatibility with Surrounding Uses. While single-family neighborhoods exist to the north and east, the Site's location at a major intersection with Southern Avenue and its proximity to commercial uses make it fundamentally different from interior residential streets. The Site provides an appropriate transition zone where medium-density residential serves as a buffer between commercial/arterial uses and lower-density neighborhoods. The proposed density is significantly lower than typical apartment developments (which can exceed 25-30 DU/AC) while providing greater housing diversity than single-family development. The townhome product type with attached garages, private yards, and quality architectural design ensures compatibility with the surrounding residential character while providing needed housing options. V. DEVELOPMENT PLANS As depicted in the Preliminary Site Plan (Exhibit 2), Acacia is a gated residential community of approximately 129 residences at 15.6 dwelling units per gross acre. The development provides a new and diverse living opportunity through quality design,comprehensive landscaping, and strategic community planning. The development incorporates integrated open spaces,resident amenities,and cohesive landscape and architectural elements.Building placement and yard wall positioning create visual interest through varied orientations while maintaining consistent roof line expression across each building block. Individual architectural elements such as dormers and gables provide textural variation within uniform parapet heights,ensuring cohesive massing and neighborhood compatibility. Key community features include:private rear yards and landscape features; comprehensive amenity programming; detailed architectural design elements; and a sustainable community planning approach. The community's design framework emphasizes compatibility, sustainability, and enhanced quality of life for residents. A. Landscaping and Amenities Landscaping will enhance Acacia by integrating with the walls,drainage,entry monuments and amenity features. See Exhibit 3, Preliminary Landscape Plan. Acacia's landscape buffers, open spaces, and plantings will help reinforce the community's theming and appeal. Over 20% of the entire Site is in open space landscaped areas. Acacia's plant palette has been developed to complement the community's theming. The plant palette consists of an array of colors and textures that will create an attractive experience for those who live there and those traveling on the roads surrounding the community. Landscaping designs will focus on providing natural screening, shade, and visual interest. Aside from several strategically placed areas of natural sod, all plant species can be found on the Arizona Department of Water Resources,"Low Water Use Plant List." Acacia has been planned with quality neighborhood scale amenities consistent with Diamante's desire to create a community where residents will be able to play, relax, or socialize in a pleasing environment. The amenity area within Acacia is designed to integrate the existing wash that runs through the site.Existing trees will be preserved and new walkways will run through the area. Amenities for structured play will all be accessible from the wash walkway that ties the whole development together enhancing the community character and quality of life by providing recreational opportunities and connectivity for residents through the integration of internal and external open spaces. 7 B. Architecture The design of the units recalls a traditional farmhouse style to reinforce the western character found throughout Apache Junction. The project proposes the use of attached townhomes, each with an attached two-car garage and a 3-bed 2-bath layout. By integrating the garage,the site is able to avoid large surface parking areas that would detract from the community and city character. Different unit types and materials are used so that, while there is consistency, there is also variation to provide visual interest. Some units and feature accents where a specific color will be used, each color signifying a `neighborhood' within the development. This will also provide visual interest while providing a helpful way-finding tool for new residents and visitors. C. Theme Walls,Entry Gates, and Entry Monument The proposed theme walls will be consistent with Acacia's overall community character. This theming is reinforced using materials, colors, design, and layout. The fences and walls will consist of the following types: Wood for the patio fences, painted in the respective neighborhood colors and masonry with wrought iron for the perimeter wall. The perimeter wall has a low profile so that the units are visually connected to the quiet streets and for a welcoming character. Acacia will have entry monument signage at the entrance into the community that provides a sense of neighborhood arrival. D. Lighting Site lighting has been designed in accordance with the applicable requirements,complying with the Dark Sky Ordinance and necessitating the selection of fixtures that are downlit and fully shielded. The patios and entries of the units will have automatic motion-activated lighting fixtures. VI.MISCELLANEOUS A. Parking Acacia will contain at-grade surface parking. See Exhibit 2, Preliminary Site Plan, for parking counts,by type of parking provided. Acacia provides 297 spaces where 297 are required, with each unit containing a 2-car garage. Thirty-nine guest parking spaces are required. B. Phasing It is anticipated that Acacia will be constructed in one phase. VII. PROJECT TEAM Developer: Diamante Homes Attn: Jim Adcox 2925 N.

Just as a note,Acacia and Starr are not part of the bike path plan as shown in blue in the Active Transportation Plan excerpt below, but Southern is shown and identified for such.The half-street right-of-way dedicated along Southern is 50', which is larger than the standard 33' half-street, so there should be ample space. vv V 91 Elementa C r 1 • 1 � 1 • r � • • • � 1 � I • I 0' - - And p/o, Please let me know if you have any further questions.

It looks like the developer is required to build the bike lanes on Southern, Acacia and Starr; however, this is not clear in the submitted drawings or any of the documents being provided for the hearing tomorrow. Can you confirm the bike lanes will be built?

City of Apache Junction,Arizona Pagel Printed on 4/6/2026 t.q City of Apache Junction Human Resources Department DATE: April 7, 2026 TO: Mayor and City Council Members THROUGH: Bryant Powell, City Manager FROM: Anna McCray, Human Resources Director SUBJECT: City Council Compensation Market Review As part of the city's comprehensive classification and compensation study, staff conducted a review of compensation across all employee groups. At the request of a councilmember, a market review of city council compensation has also been completed. City council compensation has not been adjusted since September 21, 2004, with Ordinance No. 1215. The results of the market study, in comparison with peer cities and towns, show current compensation levels are significantly below prevailing market benchmarks. Apache Junction elected officials' salary: Position Annual Salary Mayor $12,000 Vice Mayor $10,800 Councilmember $9,600 VERSUS The market average elected officials' salary: Position Annual Salary Mayor $36,367 Vice Mayor $23,595 Councilmember $20,880 The city council may consider the following options: 1) Take No Action: Maintain current compensation levels with no changes. 2) Adjust to Market Average: Direct staff to prepare an ordinance aligning city council compensation with the average levels identified in the comparator market analysis. City Council Compensation April 7,2026 Page Two 3) Alternative Methodology: Direct staff to prepare an ordinance using a different methodology or compensation structure. 4) Defer Consideration: Choose to revisit this topic at a later date. Any change to city council compensation requires formal action beyond the annual budget process. Council salaries are established in Apache Junction City Code, Volume I, Chapter 2: Mayor, Council and Appointed Boards and Commissions, Section 2-1-5 Compensation, and any adjustment would require adoption of an ordinance at a public hearing amending that section of code. Council may also want to consider a cost-of-living adjustment to be built into the city code, so the elected officials' salaries keep up with market. In addition, pursuant to state law, any approved change would not take effect immediately. Instead, revised compensation would become effective following the next election and the swearing-in of elected officials in January 2027. This statutory requirement is intended to ensure that elected officials do not directly benefit from compensation decisions made during their current terms per Arizona State Statute. Based on the current election cycle, four elected officials would begin receiving approved adjustments upon being seated in January 2027, with the remaining three elected officials receiving the adjustment following the subsequent election cycle in 2029. If council wishes to move forward with a potential adjustment, direction-to-staff the city attorney would be required to initiate preparation of an appropriate ordinance at a later date designated by the council. Staff recommend this item be scheduled as early as the next city council meeting on April 21, 2026, as a change will impact the city budget in Fiscal Year and successive fiscal year budgetss.
