BACKGROUND In November 2002, the voters of Arizona approved Proposition 202 which initiated new gaming compacts between the State of Arizona and the Native American tribes. An important provision of Proposition 202 was the sharing of gaming revenues with the state. Henceforth, tribes would be assessed by the state a percentage of their gross gaming revenue. Tribes had the option of either paying all of this assessment into a state managed fund or to pay 88% of the assessment into the state managed fund and retain 12% of the assessment for distribution as grants. The Gila River Indian Community("GRIC") exercised its option to retain and administer 12% of State shared revenue. GRIC's policy is to generally limit the distributions to cities, towns, and counties in Maricopa and Pinal Counties. Funding priorities include: 1)Public Safety (police, fire, EMS); 2) Transportation; 3) Health Care Services; 4) Economic Development; and 5) Education. The law also stipulates that local nonprofits may submit applications to tribal entities if the nonprofit organization is "sponsored"by an appropriate municipality. In such cases, the municipality agrees to act as a conduit for the grant funds. The municipality receives the grant funds from the tribal entity and in turn issues a check to the nonprofit agency. 300 E. Superstition Boulevard • Apache Junction,AZ 85119 DISCUSSION GRIC revised its application procedures and no longer requires a city council resolution at the time of application. Rather, should an application be recommended for funding by the community office for special funding, GRIC would then request a resolution from the local government in support of the project. The following applications were recommended for funding by the GRIC community office for special funding. Upon receipt of the resolution, the project will be forwarded to the GRIC governing body for final approval.

LOCATION: The subject site is located at the southwest corner of W. Superstition Boulevard and N. Plaza Drive, Parcel 101-11-003B. GENERAL PLAN/ ZONING DESIGNATION: Downtown Mixed Use / Medium Density Single- Family Detached Residential ("RS-20") Case P-22-130-PZ June 27,2023 Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report 2 SURROUNDING USES : North: Green Nugget RV Storage, zoned "B-1" General Commercial; South & West: Lost Dutchman RV Resort, zoned RVP; East: Horizon Health & Wellness, zoned "B-3" City Center; BACKGROUND Parcel 101-11-003B is located at the southwest corner of W. Superstition Boulevard and N. Plaza Drive and has been zoned for residential use for a single home as a Medium Density Single- Family Detached Residential ("RS-20") property. As the property is surrounded by commercial uses and bordered by an RV park, no house has been built here and the property has remained undeveloped, with minor adjacent street improvements that the city has constructed along N. Plaza Drive. PROPOSALS P-22-130-PZ is a proposed Planned Development Rezoning of parcel 101-11-003B, from "RS-20" Medium Density Single-Family Detached Residential to "RM-2/PD" High Density Multiple-Family Residential by Planned Development to facilitate a 16-unit two- story duplex community. The subject area consists of approximately . 92 net acres, upon which sixteen (16) units are proposed, resulting in a density of approximately 17 . 4 units per acre, which is within the maximum density permitted in the "RM-2" High Density Multiple-Family Residential zone of twenty-two (22) units per acre. The development plan proposes eight (8) two-story buildings, with two (2) two-bedroom units in each building. There are thirty-six (36) proposed parking spots, with one garage parking space allotted for each unit, and the other eighteen (20) parking spaces being an uncovered space. Four (4) of these spaces are guest spaces provided beyond the minimum resident parking requirement. Access into the community is proposed only on N. Plaza Drive, as driveway access cannot be permitted onto W. Superstition Boulevard, a main arterial, so close to an intersection. On-site amenities consist of patio spaces with picnic tables . Case P-22-130-PZ June 27,2023 Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report 3 PLANNED DEVELOPMENT REQUEST As defined by the Apache Junction Zoning Ordinance, Planned Development Overlay Districts ("PD") are intended to allow site and building design flexibility which may not otherwise be allowed through conventional base zoning. The applicant has requested the use of a PD to apply two deviations to the typical RM-2 Bulk Standards have been requested, and one deviation to the landscape standards, as noted: • A reduction of the Minimum Front Building Setback from twenty feet (2 0' ) to ten feet (10' ) . • A reduction of the Minimum Rear Building Setback from twenty feet (20' ) to ten feet (10' ) . • The Zoning Ordinance Landscape Regulations require a ten foot (10' ) landscape strip shall be provided within the property lines, however the applicant is requesting that their street frontage landscaping shall be placed within the approximately thirteen foot (13' ) area between the property line and the edge of the sidewalk along W. Superstition Boulevard and the approximately eleven foot (111 ) area between the property line and the edge of the sidewalk along N. Plaza Drive. PLANNING STAFF ANALYSIS Relationship to General Plan: The subject site is designated by the city' s General Plan as part of the "Downtown Redevelopment Area", and is categorized for "Downtown Mixed Use, " which supports residential densities between 10 dwelling units per acre to 40 dwelling units per acre. The proposed density of 17 . 4 units per gross acre complies with this General Plan designation and does not require a General Plan Amendment. 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 : • 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 . • Goal 3 . 4 - Incorporate sustainable practices in all housing development. Case P-22-130-PZ June 27,2023 Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report 4 • Goal 4 . 8 - Discourage single-family residential development within the downtown core and encourage high-density development downtown. • Goal 9 . 2 - Plan for an appropriate geographic mix of residential, commercial and recreational uses in the downtown. • Goal 9 . 3 & 11 . 3- Encourage infill development with a variety of housing types . • Goal 11 . 2 - Provide a balance of uses throughout the community. • Goal 11 . 3 - Provide high-density multi-family housing within the downtown area. �e Zoning/Site Context: The subject properties are surrounded by commercial uses, and an RV park. • To the north of the property is the Green Nugget RV Storage, zoned "B-1" General Commercial, which also contains a small nursery on the west side of the property. Across N. Plaza Drive, to the northeast, is the Arroyo Hermosa Mexican Village commercial strip center, which has office, service, and restaurant uses . • To the south & west of the property is the Lost Dutchman RV Resort, zoned Recreational Vehicle Park "RVP, " which has a comparable density of 17 . 9 units per acre; Case P-22-130-PZ June 27,2023 Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report 5 • To the east of the property is the Horizon Health & Wellness center, zoned "B-3" City Center; The property' s surrounding uses, location in the Downtown Mixed Use area, and the uncharacteristic context for a single-family residential property have been taken into account in making staff' s recommendation. MHP 17, 1 tT{ r a `•�.' ,_� a-� �,-=�- �- �- i RS-20 � u � Ar. - �� Pr Mill Virginia St RV 8-3 Infrastructure & Site Improvements: The applicant will be required to connect the units to all necessary services, including electricity through SRP, water through the Arizona Water Company, and sewer connections . All other necessary and required on-site and off-site improvements, including retention basins, perimeter walls, amenities 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 300-foot radius, notifying neighbors of the proposed development and providing them contact information to learn more about the project. The advertised Case P-22-130-PZ June 27,2023 Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report 6 neighborhood meeting was held at a local nearby restaurant as advertised on Saturday May 20, 2023 at 11 : 30 AM. No neighbors attended to express any comments regarding the development. The applicant' s Public Participation Plan Report has been included as Exhibit #7 . 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 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 is 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: This project fits the intent by promoting the most appropriate land use, and facilitating flexible building design, site design, and amenities. A better design is achieved by not applying the strict provisions of the zoning district. The deviation to the RM-2 Zone district are as follows: • Front Setback 10ft. (shown) vs 20ft. (required) • Rear Setback 10ft. (shown) vs 20ft. (required) This is a better design outweighing the deviation to the RM-2 requirements as follows: • Maximum Density 1 7. 4 units/ac (shown) vs 22 uni ts/ac (allowed) • Onsi to parking spaces 18 (shown) vs (16 required) • Additional offsite parking is available as developed by the City of Apache Junction for the use allowed to the general public. Planning Division Note: The applicant indicates that reducing the setbacks allowed them to increase the density to reach the higher density goals of the Downtown Mixed Use area, while still providing more parking than the minimum requirement. They also note that the plan to utilize the off-site on-street parking along N. Plaza Drive, however this cannot be included in the applicant' s parking requirement, as they must be self-sufficient within their own site . Case P-22-130-PZ June 27,2023 Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report 7 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. Applicant Response: The two minor deviations to the RM-2 Zoning ordinance will not affect the health, safety, and welfare of the inhabitants of the development. 3 . That strict adherence to the ordinance is not required to ensure that property values of adjacent properties will not be reduced. Applicant Response: The two minor deviations to the R-2 Zoning ordinance will not reduce the property values of adjacent properties. Adjacent to this development is a mobile home park, and rehabilitation center, both vastly different uses to this site. New construction always enhances the neighborhood. PLANNING DIVISION RECOMMENDATION In review of the project proposal, the conditions and context of the subject site, the General Plan land use designation, and the need for downtown housing, Staff is supportive of the proposed rezoning P-22-130-PZ and respectfully recommends to the Commission a favorable recommendation to the City Council, subject to the conditions of approval noted below. As always, Commissioners may recommend changes or additional conditions which they feel will improve the development plan.

On February 14, 2023, a brief update was provided detailing preliminary findings, as well as discussing the need to amend the parking requirements to further clarify other related parking requirements, such as electric vehicle (EV) parking and charging stations, accessible parking requirements, bicycle parking requirements, and motorcycle/scooter parking spaces . A draft text amendment to the Apache Junction City Code, Volume II, Land Development Code, Chapter 1 : Zoning Ordinance, Article 1-7 : Parking, Loading and Circulation Regulations has been Case P-23-16-AM April 11,2023 Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report 2 provided to apply these changes . Some additional organizational changes are included to optimize the code for public use . RESEARCH & RECOMMENDATIONS Guest Parking Staff has observed that guest parking standards of different local and comparable cities generally vary between . 2 to . 5 guest parking spots per dwelling unit in a multi—family style development, including townhomes and condominium developments, with the exact ratio being determined by the needs of each local community. While the ratios may differ, most cities and towns do require an additional minimum provision of guest parking in addition to the minimum provision of resident spaces per unit. Town or City Guest Parking Standard Avondale One(1)visitor space per five (5) units must be provided; And at least one (1) space per multi-family unit must be covered and assigned to a unit. Buckeye .2 guest spaces per unit Chandler No minimum noted.Visitor parking and recreational vehicle storage shall be clearly identified through signage or curb paint. Gilbert .25 guest spaces per unit Glendale .33, 1 Designated guest space for every 3 units. Florence 1 guest space for every 55 dwelling units Queen Creek None noted. Phoenix When the required parking is reserved for residents, additional unreserved parking is required as follows: 0.3 spaces for each efficiency unit and 0.5 spaces per each 1 or 2 bedroom unit and 1.0 space per each 3 or more bedroom unit. Maricopa (City) .2 guest spaces per unit Maricopa County 20%of the 2 per unit parking spaces shall be reserved for guest parking spaces. Mesa Not specifically noted, but when not located near transit there is a 2.1 space per unit parking requirement Apache Junction Master .5 guest spaces per unit Planned Community Peoria .1 guest spaces per unit(.25 per unit for duplexes/triplexes) Pinal County .1 guest spaces per unit Scottsdale .16 guest spaces per unit(1 for every 6 units) Guest spaces shall be located so they are easily accessed by guests, as determined by the Development Review Board. Tempe .2 guest spaces per unit Table 1 . Guest Parking Requirements Case P-23-16-AM April 11,2023 Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report 3 The past several years of multi-family residential developments have provided several examples of different guest parking ratios among various styles of development. While all projects have met the minimum requirement for resident parking, the ample provision of guest parking has been a consistent concern expressed by neighbors of developments, the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council .

Recent Multi-Family Residential Developments & Parking Calculations Evaluating the data together, Staff recommends a minimum requirement of .3 guest parking spaces per dwelling unit, which is within a consistent range of what other cities require and what a project with ample guest parking generally provides . Accessible Parking Accessible parking spaces and their associated standards, including the ratios determining the required amount of accessible spaces, are regulated by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) , which has also been adopted into municipal building codes, including our own. To clarify related code questions and consolidate parking information in one place, the ADA requirements regulating the number of required accessible parking spaces have been incorporated into the proposed draft amendment of Article 1-7 Parking Standards . Case P-23-16-AM April 11,2023 Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report 4 Bicycle Parking The current parking regulations have no provisions regarding bicycle parking, but in review of the bicycle' s integration within our transportation system and plans, Staff has recommended a requirement to provide bicycle racks as part of the parking requirements of new multi-family residential and commercial developments . Motorcycle and Scooter Parking The current parking regulations also have no provisions regarding motorcycle and scooter compact spaces, which have the benefit of providing a safer space for motorcyclists to park and have the effect of mitigating incidences of damage to the motorcycles when implemented. Staff has recommended that in non-residential parking lots, two (2) motorcycle / scooter parking stalls shall be provided out of every seventy-five (75) motor vehicle parking spaces required. Electric Vehicle Parking and Charging Stations As an emerging technology, there are not many municipal codes that address requirements for electric vehicle (EV) parking spaces and charging stations, but recognizing that this technology is becoming more commonplace and the need is becoming more prominent, Staff recommends that the parking requirements be amended to require that in non-residential and multi-family residential parking lots, one (1) motor vehicle parking space out of every two-hundred fifty (250) motor vehicle parking spaces shall be required to be equipped with an electric vehicle (EV) charging station. 7 W_ Prepared by Ni bolas Leftwich Planner Attachments : -Draft of Amendments to Apache Junction City Code, Volume II, Land Development Code, Chapter l : Zoning Ordinance, Article 1-7 : Parking, Loading and Circulation Regulations Case P-23-16-AM April 11,2023 Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report 1 O� PQACHF✓GAO � � 4 �y Z City of Apache Junction Development Services Department qR/ZONP , PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION DISCUSSION ITEM STAFF MEMO DATE : May 9, 2023 TO: Planning and Zoning Commission THROUGH: Rudy Esquivias, Development Services Director Sidney Urias, Interim Planning Manager FROM: Nicholas Leftwich, Planner CASE NUMBER: P-23-16-AM REQUEST: Text Amendment to Article 1-7 : Parking, Loading and Circulation Regulations regarding requirements for guest parking, electric vehicle parking, accessible parking, motorcycle, and bicycle parking BACKGROUND Per the Planning and Zoning Commission direction to Staff given on December 13, 2022, subsequent work session discussions were held on February 14, 2023 and April 11, 2023 . Staff has further revised the proposed text amendment to Article 1-7 : Parking, Loading and Circulation Regulations . During the April llth Planning and Zoning Commission discussion, general approval for the proposed amendments regarding guest parking, motorcycle, and bicycle parking was received. Further clarification was requested for accessible parking standards and the proposed electric vehicle parking requirements . To address the Commission' s concern for clarity, the language regarding which number would be used for the calculation of how many ADA-accessible spaces must be provided has been modified to precisely identify the measurement as the total number of all parking spaces provided throughout the parking lot or facility, which would include the parking spaces located in garages in the Case P-23-16-AM May 9,2023 Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report 2 case of multi-family projects that provide them. For example, if a 100-unit townhome complex had 200 garage parking spaces, and an additional 50 outdoor parking spaces for guests and a clubhouse, the number of ADA accessible spaces that would be required would be determined using the total 250 parking spaces throughout the facility, rather than from the 50 parking spaces provided in the outdoor parking lots . This would mean 7 ADA accessible spaces would be required to be provided throughout the facility, rather than only the 2 that would be required if only the outdoor parking spaces were counted. Regarding the electric vehicle (EV) parking requirements and the related EV Charging station, the proposed amendment language has been revised to specify that a required EV Charging station would be at least of the Level 2 capacity, which is further defined in the section as a charging station that has the capacity to provide 30-80 amperes using a 208 to 240 volt outlet. As members of the Planning and Zoning Commission discussed the potential of incentives, Staff has found that the local electrical utility company, Salt River Project (SRP) , provides incentives in the form of a rebate of $4000 per charging port in multi-family projects, and $1500 for commercial projects . As a reference, according to SRP, the cost for a Level 2 EV charger ranges from $1, 000 to $7, 000 . This existing incentive helps mitigate the cost impact of EV charging station installation.

Background Per the direction to Staff given by the Planning and Zoning Commission on December 13, 2022, Staff researched Arizona Revised Statutes' definitions of recreational vehicles, trailers, and toy haulers and the location in which these vehicles may be parked to provide recommendations for a text amendment. On February 14, 2023, Staff provided an update of preliminary findings to the Planning and Zoning Commission. On May 9, 2023, Staff presented additional findings to the Planning and Zoning Commission during a work session. Staff recommended against adding or changing definitions, as there currently is no limitation on the number of trailers that can be stored on a single-family residential lot. Staff also recommended allowing one (1) additional recreational vehicle with an integrated horse trailer on single-family residential lots with a minimum of 1 .25-gross acres. On June 27, 2023, Staff presented alternative text to Article 1-7, which Staff viewed was more appropriate and concise. 1 Text Amendment to Article 1-7:Parking,Loading and Circulation Regulations Case P-23-15-AM July 17,2023 City Council Staff Memo O� PQACHE�Gti z City of Apache Junction Development Services Department '9R/z,wA Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation The Planning and Zoning Commission public hearing was held on June 27, 2023 (planning Staff Report and exhibits attached) .

BACKGROUND Per the direction to Staff given by the Planning and Zoning Commission on December 13, 2022, Staff researched Arizona Revised Statutes' definitions of recreational vehicles, trailers, and toy haulers and the location in which these vehicles may be parked to provide recommendations for a text amendment. On February 14, 2023, Staff provided a brief update with preliminary findings to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Staff explained that the City utilizes much of the same language when defining a recreational vehicle as the Arizona Revised Statutes . On May 9, 2023, Staff presented additional findings to the Planning and Zoning Commission during a work session. Staff reiterated that the City utilizes much of the same language when defining a recreational vehicle as the Arizona Revised Statutes . 1 Text Amendment to Article 1-7:Parking,Loading and Circulation Regulations Case P-23-15-AM June 27,2023 Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report O� p,PACHE�Gti n� z City of Apache Junction Development Services Department '9 RIZONP' Additionally, Staff showed recreational vehicle limitations in surrounding municipalities . Staff recommended against adding or changing definitions, as there currently is no limitation on the number of trailers that can be stored on a single-family residential lot. Staff also recommended allowing one (1) additional recreational vehicle with an integrated horse trailer on single-family residential lots with a minimum of 1 . 25-gross acres . RESEARCH Motor Vehicle Division Registration The Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division does not discriminate trailer type for trailer registration. This means that a camp trailer, park model, travel trailer, and a truck camper will require trailer registration, whereas a motor home or any kind of vehicle that is self-propelled, such as a motorized recreational vehicle with an integrated horse trailer will go through the same registration process as a motor vehicle.

S . and the City defines horse trailers with integrated living quarters as a recreational vehicle, the public generally considers these vehicles as trailers . Staff has since modified the language of the drafted amendment to reflect these changes . As a result, Staff recommends allowing single-family residential lots with a minimum of 1 . 25-gross acres to have one (1) nonmotorized horse trailer with integrated living quarters or one (1) motorized recreational vehicle with an integrated horse trailer, designed with the intent of transporting equine. Though a number of municipalities do not specify a listed limitation for RV parking and storing, the rationale supporting the limitation recommendation of one (1) is that the City has had a long history of code compliance cases due to properties misusing single-family residential properties as storage lots . By providing a number limitation, this initiative strengthens the City' s ability to reduce potential blight, nuisance and code cases . Staff also recommends simplifying the language in this section in regard to the location requirement for such vehicles and trailers . The simplification and clarification of text language will aid in avoiding potential contradictions and misinterpretations . Staff will also use this opportunity to revise grammatical errors, unrelated to recreational vehicles, for additional clarity and general ease of understanding. A draft text amendment to the Apache Junction City Code, Volume II, Land Development Code, Chapter 1 : Zoning Ordinance, Article 1-7 : Parking, Loading and Circulation Regulations has been provided to apply the above noted proposed changes .

BACKGROUND Per the direction to Staff given by the Planning and Zoning Commission on December 13, 2022, Staff has researched Arizona Revised Statutes' definitions of recreational vehicles, trailers, and toy haulers and the location in which these vehicles may be parked to provide recommendations for a text amendment. On February 14, 2023, Staff provided a brief update detailing preliminary findings that the City of Apache Junction utilizes much of the same language as the Arizona Revised Statutes for recreational vehicles . However, the City does not currently have language defining trailers and it was suggested that definitions should be added to Article 1-17 : Definitions . 1 Planning&Zoning-Building&Safety-Revenue Development 300 E.

S") . The definition is as follows : Title 33-2102 . Definitions . 18 . "Recreational vehicle" means a vehicular type unit that is any of the following: (a) A portable camping trailer mounted on wheels and constructed with collapsible partial sidewalls that fold for towing by another vehicle and unfold for camping. (b) A motor home designed to provide temporary living quarters for recreational, camping or travel use and built on or permanently attached to a self-propelled motor vehicle chassis or on a chassis cab or van that is an integral part of the completed vehicle.

(d) A travel trailer mounted on wheels, designed to provide temporary living quarters for recreational, camping or travel use and of a size or weight that may or may not require special highway movement permits when towed by a motorized vehicle and that has a trailer area of less than three hundred twenty square feet. This subdivision includes fifth wheel trailers . 2 Planning&Zoning-Building&Safety-Revenue Development 300 E.

(e) A portable truck camper constructed to provide temporary living quarters for recreational, camping or travel use and consisting of a roof, floor and sides designed to be loaded onto and unloaded from the bed of a pickup truck. The City, however, does not have language to define trailers . A.R. S . definitions are as follows : Title 28-101 . Definitions . 72 . "Semitrailer" means a vehicle that is with or without motive power, other than a pole trailer or a single-axle tow dolly, that is designed for carrying persons or property and for being drawn by a motor vehicle and that is constructed so that some part of its weight and that of its load rests on or is carried by another vehicle . Title 28-101 . Definitions . 81 . "Trailer" means a vehicle that is with or without motive power, other than a pole trailer or a single-axle tow dolly, that is designed for carrying persons or property and for being drawn by a motor vehicle and that is constructed so that no part of its weight rests on the towing vehicle. A semitrailer equipped with an auxiliary front axle commonly known as a dolly is deemed to be a trailer. 3 Planning&Zoning-Building&Safety-Revenue Development 300 E.

Though a number of municipalities have no limit listed for RV parking and storing, Staff recommends continuing the limitation of one (1) recreational vehicle on single-family residential lots, with the exception of one (1) additional recreational vehicle with an integrated horse trailer on residential lots with a minimum 1 .25-gross acres .
