City of Apache Junction,Arizona Page 1 Printed on 611512026 pp pCHg Z City of Apache Junction gRIZoNP Development Services Department Date : October 7, 2014 To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members Through: George Hoffman, City Manager Larry Kirch, Development Services Director From: Rudy Esquivias, Senior Planner/Zoning Admin. Subject: October 20, 2014, City Council Work Session Item: SD-1-14 Bella Corona Preliminary Plat Background Hudd Hassell, representing Bela Flor Communities Inc. and Ironwood Heights LLC, has applied for preliminary plat approval for a proposed 78-lot, planned development, single-family homes subdivision to be called "Bella Corona" . The RM-2/PD (Multi- family Residences by Planned Development) -zoned, 10 . 61-acre development site, previously belonged to Cornerstone Homes; and had two previous approved pre-plat concepts for a subdivision to be called "The Foothills" . Mr. Hassell proposes to use a similar layout as the two previous plats for the proposed Bella Corona subdivision. The main change is that he is reducing the number of proposed lots from 104 (under the previous plat) to 78 under the new plat concept, plus amenity areas . The undeveloped property is located on the west side of S . Ironwood Drive, just west of the Horizon Bay Assisted Living Facility, on the south side of W. Renaissance/20th Avenues . Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation On September 23rd, 2014, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing regarding the request (P&Z staff report and exhibits attached) . The Commission voted to recommend approval of the proposed preliminary plat with all recommended conditions, by a vote of 7 to 0 . No neighbors spoke at the public hearing. Attachments: PZ Staff Report from September 23, 2014, with all attachments. _ City of Apache Junction Development Services Department PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING STAFF REPORT DATE: September 23, 2014 CASE NUMBER: SD-1-14 APPLICANT/OWNER: Ironwood Heights LLC REPRESENTATIVE: Hudd Hassell with Bela Flor Communities Inc. , 1635 N. Greenfield Road #115, Mesa, AZ 85205 REQUEST: Proposed preliminary plat for Bella Corona Subdivision. The 10. 61 acres property is presently zoned RM-2/PD (Multi-family Residences by Planned Development) , and was formerly rezoned and pre-platted for "The Foothills" subdivision. LOCATION: The property is located west of S. Ironwood Drive, on the south side of W. 20th Avenue, behind (west of) the Horizon Bay Assisted Living Facility. GENERAL PLAN/ ZONING DESIGNATION: Medium Density Residential (maximum of 6 dwelling units per acre) ; the property is currently zoned (and is proposed to remain zoned) RM-2/PD; and it was previously platted for a 104-lot, two-story homes subdivision. SURROUNDING USES: North: Renaissance Point Subdivision (Zoned RS-7/PD, Single family homes By Planned Development) South: Banner Goldfield Hospital, Apache Junction Health Center, vacant property (zoned B-1, General commercial) SD-1-14 (Bella Corona/Hassell) PAGE 2 OF 7 East : Horizon Bay Assisted Living Facility (zoned RM-2/PD) West : Renaissance Point and Arizona Grande Subdivs. (zoned RS-7/PD) BACKGROUND The subject property was originally part of the 20-acre Careage Healthcare Continuum of Care Campus plan, approved by a conditional use permit on single-family residential-zoned property back in the late 1980' s . In the mid 19901s, the subject property and what is now the Horizon Bay (formerly Merrill Gardens) Assisted Living Facility were rezoned to CR- 5/PD (Multi-family residences by Planned Development) , with a phased development plan for an assisted living residential campus with different levels of care. The plan was amended twice, with Ordinance #996 ultimately controlling the development of Horizon Bay and laying out a concept plan for the eventual development of the .rest of the property. The Horizon Bay building and some of the casitas are the only buildings which were constructed under that plan on +/-8 . 5 gross acres . In 2007, the +/-11 . 5-acres to the west of Horizon Bay was sold to Cornerstone Homes, who amended the old CR-5/PD plan for a 118-lots, single-family homes subdivision to be called "The Foothills". They also processed a preliminary plat along with the PD amendment (see Ordinance #1306 and the original development plan for The Foothills attached) . A couple of years later in 2010, Cornerstone Homes processed another PD amendment, reducing the number of lots in the proposed subdivision from 118 to 104 . They also sold an acre of their property to the nursing home to the south. A new pre-plat was again processed at the same time (see Ordinance #1363 and the most recently approved pre-plat for The Foothills attached) . CURRENT PROPOSAL Cornerstone Homes no longer owns the property. The previous pre-plats have expired, but the basic planned development concept plan still guides the development of the property. The new owners, represented by Mr. Hassell, propose a subdivision to be called "Bella Corona" . The overall layout for Bella Corona is very similar to the most recent pre-plat for The Foothills, except that the developers have reduced the number of lots from SD-1-14 (Bella Corona/Hassell) PAGE 3 OF 7 104 to 78, the lots are bigger, the setbacks are more spacious, and the new pre-plat provides for more and better usable open space. Planning Staff has been working with Mr. Hassell and Mr. Dzudza (architect) for months on this revised plat concept. Because Staff felt that: overall a better PD plan was being proposed; the new plan is still in substantial compliance with the approved PD concepts; and because a more "open feel" subdivision is being created; Planning Staff did not require the applicants to process another PD amendment. Please see the comparison table below, which lays out the development standards for the previous Foothills plats and the new Bella Corona plat . Dev Detail Foothills 1 Foothills 2 Bella Corona No. of lots 118 104 78 Min lot size +/-2200 sqft +/-2200 sqft +/-3320 sqft Min width 40' 40' 39' Front SB 10' /18' gar. 101 /18, gar. 10' varied Side SB 31 /8' total 31 /8' total 5/10' total Rear SB 5' 5' 10, Height 26' pk of roof 26' pk of roof 26' pk of roof Lot coverage 75% 75% 45% Density 10. 16 du/ac 9. 8 du/ac 7 . 35 du/ac Priv.

The other main difference between the Bella Corona plat and the previous plats is that Bella Corona incorporates the use of Z-lots, similar to the ones used in another recently approved subdivision, Villagio. Although, in Bella Corona there will be more separation distance between homes and the private streets are generally wider. The use and SD-1-14 {Bella Corona/Hassell} PAGE 4 OF 7 benefits easements will need to be clearly explained in the CC&Rs for the subdivision, which Staff will review with the submittal of the final plat and improvements plans. PLANNING STAFF ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS Relationship to General Plan: The subject site and properties to the north, south, east and west are designated "MD" Medium Density Residential, maximum of 6 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) . Despite the current General Plan designation, the property has been zoned for high density uses since 1995. This proposal to reduce the density to 7 . 35 du/ac is actually bringing the development plan for the property closer into compliance with the current General Plan designa- tion. Since the underlying zoning is not changing, no General Plan amendment issue exists. Zoning/Site Context: The 10. 61 acres property is currently zoned RM-2/PD, under the city' s newly adopted zoning ordinance, as mentioned in the background information. The site is bordered on the north, west and east by residential uses, single-family and assisted living. Medical facilities are developed to the south of the property. The proposed plan for the property is arguably more in character with the adjacent single-family neighborhoods, although most of the models in Bella Corona will be 2-story (see model exhibits) . Planned Development Request: The planned development details are specified above. Staff believes that the plat proposed is in substantial compliance with the PD plans previously approved for the property insofar as overall layout; that the new plan incorporates improvements over the previous plans; and that this new plan provides for less impact and congestion to neighboring areas. A substantial open space buffer is still being preserved and expanded on the west side of the property, acknowledging the desires for continued privacy and mountain views previously expressed by those property owners . Street Improvements: The property' s main entrance point will be from W. 20th Avenue, which is a dedicated public street. A secondary roll gate and access point will be constructed on the west side of the SD-1-14 (Bella Corona/Hassell) PAGE S OF 7 property to S. Palo Verde Drive, which is also a dedicated public street. Most traffic is expected to use the 20t" Avenue access point, since that is the closest to the main thorough- fare, S. Ironwood Drive. The internal streets will be privately owned and the responsibility of the homeowners association. Public Input: Because the zoning on the property is not changing, is already entitled as a high-density opportunity, and because the proposed PD plan for the property represents a decrease in overall intensity to the previous plans, no neighborhood outreach or notices were required as part of this pre-plat approval process . P&Z COMMISSION WORK SESSION At their work session on September 9, most of the Commissioners were in the agreement that the new plat was an improvement over the previous plats . Commissioners commented that they also wanted to see a small shade structure and a barbeque amenity on the west side of the subdivision between the dog park and soccer field areas, and a fence around the dog park. They wanted clarification on perimeter fencing, especially with regard to the east side where the subdivision adjoins the Horizon Bay property; and whether or not the west controlled access gate was going to be a full time access gate. Lastly, one Commissioner commented that he did not like the design of the subdivision at all, expressing a preference for straight property lines and 54- foot-wide lots (no Z-lots) . Staff commented that they would also be asking for 3 elevation options each for the models and 26' maximum building heights. Most of the Commissioner and Staff comments, and comments from other reviewing agencies have been addressed in the new exhibits dated 9-17-14 . The develop still opts for the Z-lot concept. PLANNING DIVISION RECOMMENDATION Planning Staff believes that the new proposed preliminary plat for Bella Corona represents an improvement to the previous plats proposed for the property, and presents said development for the Commission' s consideration. If the Commission is desirous of forwarding a favorable recommendation on the pre-plat to the City Council, then Staff recommends the following motion and conditions of approval: . SD-1-14 (Bella Corona/Hassell) PAGE 6 OF 7 RECOMMENDED MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT I move that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend to the Apache Junction City Council the (APPROVAL/DENIAL) of a pre- liminary plat, case SD-1-14, a request by Ironwood Heights LLC, represented by Hudd Hassell, for a proposed subdivision to be named Bella Corona, located west of S.
