Downtown Overlay Zoning District Map Amendment Now that the City Council has approved the Downtown Overlay Zoning District ("DOD") text amendment and the Downtown Design Guidelines, the city is initiating a blanket rezoning (i.e., zoning map amendment) to apply the DOD to all downtown commercial properties On September 27th, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing and recommended approval of the DOD map amendment This proposed zoning map amendment ("rezoning") will apply to downtown business zoned property generally bounded by Meridian Drive to the west, Winchester Road to the east, Superstition Boulevard to the north, and Broadway Avenue to the south (see attached rezoning area map). This proposed rezoning would add the DOD designation to the existing zoning designation of the properties within the rezoning area The purpose of the DOD is to provide flexible development regulations and design standards that facilitate development and redevelopment on vacant and underutilized land parcels, encourage mixed-use development, update downtown development design standards and promote safe pedestrian access and connectivity. We've attached a copy of the recently approved DOD regulations for background review, and urge Council members to visit www ajcrty net/downtownzonnw for detailed color maps and additional information about the rezoning o . Staff Comment: The proposed DOD rezoning is presented for City Council review and discussion at this time. A public hearing and possible approval is scheduled for the November 1, 2011, meeting. i . .aA1 COUNTY`41111 Rezoning Area (includes all 3 zones) I re W SHIPROCK ST cc cc W SHIPROCK ST `�.r 1 t p W UNKNOWN RD IRONWOOD MHP 0 W MANZANITA ST o II t w w W ROUNDUP ST p Z a 0 0 0 z 0 I ' gg I Z O z W GREASEWOOD ST 0 w w ce U tY tl o p Z w a 't f o Q 2 2 z ce C� O z p Z z I G Q z U W SUPERSTITION BLVD >- z 2 am a W CHOLLA ST a Z J y ll Legend w m0 W re > 0 z z o c' Pinal County Boundary z a o 0 w o z 0 W I GINIA ST z �� 88 I Railroads z O z O O p J ,1 'C a z 0 w Q o o �� Highways 25k-2M 1 z O > > O w z 6 E SCE z o a oz z w PQQ I Streets 25k 50k W R� _ 1 i �� jr ,, call other values> I z ALLEY O Market Areas W APACHE TRL O OLD W ST HWy E JUNC N 5T q W APACHE TRL z h, JUNCIN i!1 )'J ° ' •1 2 rIiiiii P� arm pm _ II OCOy'F ::; Final w ,, O f.1Qo p Z p p 4, `sly E 2N� ® Pending {�JYY o p p r o p tz U �Y1 Arizona Counties ic� �. i z Z 0 ?

The provisions of this district recognize the economic challenges inherent in developing successful infill properties and provide an alternative zoning option to promote private re-investment within the downtown area The specific objectives of the Downtown Overlay District are: (1) Provide development regulations and design standards that will set the downtown area apart from other commercial areas within the city, consistent with the vision expressed in the 2010 General Plan and the 2010 Downtown Redevelopment and Implementation Strategy Plan, (2) Accommodate growth within the downtown area by encouraging and facilitating new development on vacant, bypassed and underutilized land within areas that already have infrastructure, utilities, and public facilities, (3) Allow and encourage a mixed-use pattern of development in the downtown area; (4) Provide development standards and incentives that stimulate infill and redevelopment within the downtown area, [8-2-11 council approved version] Page 1 (5) Create a compact mixture of land uses, including shops, workplaces, civic buildings, entertainment uses, and residences that satisfy market demand within the downtown area, (6) Provide an environment that promotes safe pedestrian access and connections between developments, more pedestrian-scale amenities and an identifiable downtown core area; (7) Create the opportunity to improve the quality of development and retail services within the downtown area; (8) Create the opportunity to enhance property values and increase economic and financial benefits to the city, business owners and property owners; (9) Provide clear, understandable, predictable and consistent development standards that promote compatibility between existing and future development, (10) Encourage development of needed housing in close proximity to downtown employment and services, (11) Promote downtown preservation and enhancement through redevelopment of blighted, distressed and underutilized properties; (12) Encourage the development of flexible space for small and emerging businesses; (13) Facilitate development proposals that are responsive to current and future market conditions § 1-26-2 DEFINITIONS (A) Infill Development of vacant, underdeveloped or remnant lands passed over by previous development in urban areas. (B) Downtown Overlay District Design Guidelines. The design guidelines approved by the Apache Junction City Council through resolution (C) Redevelopment: The act or process of renewing, restoring, and/or renovating pre- existing buildings, structures and/or property in the city. (D) Substantial Improvement• Any new construction on a vacant lot Additionally, any reconstruction, rehabilitation, addition, or other improvement of a structure that exceeds 50 percent of the existing structure's market value, or exceeds 50 percent of [8-2-11 council approved version] Page 2 the existing structure's floor area The term "substantial improvement" does not include the following: (1) Improvement of a structure to correct existing violations of state or local health, sanitary, or safety code specifications which have been identified by the local code enforcement official and which are the minimum necessary to ensure safe living and/or working conditions, or (2) Costs of alterations or improvements whose express purpose is the mitigation of future stormwater damage. § 1-26-3 DOWNTOWN OVERLAY ZONES (A) The Downtown Overlay District is comprised of three zones as shown on Figure 26-1. These three zones differ in the mix of uses, development character and development intensity. Each zone has a unique focus and role within the Downtown Overlay District Together the three zones are intended to create a diverse and vibrant business, commercial and residential district within the heart of Apache Junction. The three zones are described as follows (1) Suburban Zone This zone may be described as a typical suburban retail strip that is dominated by national retail brands The development pattern reflects corporate architecture, automobile orientation, and deep building setbacks with parking areas typically located between the building and road The overlay zoning and design guidelines for this zone are intended to essentially maintain and continue the character of development and redevelopment that has occurred in the recent past. (2) Transition Zone This zone may be described as a mixture of older strip commercial uses including hotels, restaurants, specialty retail, car sales, and gas stations The properties tend to be smaller in size, and many of the buildings reflect maintenance and structural decline. The overlay zoning for this zone is intended to provide reasonable flexibility to promote and encourage development and redevelopment Additionally, the overlay zoning for this zone promotes sign and building design standards that reflect a western character in accordance with the 2010 Downtown Redevelopment and Implementation Strategy Plan. (3) Core Downtown Zone This zone may be described as the central core of the city with a mixture of old and new developed properties, vacant land and civic uses. The base zoning district for much of this zone (i e., City Center District) reflects a decidedly more urban pattern of mixed land use, building height and intensity The overlay zoning and [8-2-11 council approved version] Page 3 design standards for this zone are intended to maintain and continue the base zoning's urban theme and promote a mixed-use pattern of land use.

The property owner may choose to skip, at their risk, the PDR process outlined in Article 1-25 of the City of Apache Junction Land Development Code.
