City Clerk Jennifer Pena explained that city staff recommends approval upon conditions that a
block wall with rod wiring railing be completed that was supposed to be done in 2007 due to
noise complaints from neighbors. The applicant is present to answer questions.
Councilmember Evans asked that Rudy Esquives present a timeline of events. Mr Esquivias
stated that staff has continually received noise complaints from neighbors and has noticed that
the block wall was never put up as agreed to in 2007.
Councilmember Evans stated that this property has been sold many times since 2007. The
original owner has sold and bought it many times and she has never put up the wall as
promised. Councilmember Evans stated that the liquor license application has been filled out
incorrectly and this application needs to be continued in order for the applicant to build the wall
and come into compliance and fix the application. She stated that if council approves this with
conditions that the liquor board will just approve it and not enforce the conditions.
City of Apache Junction,Arizona Page 3
City Council Meeting Meeting Minutes April 21,2020
Mayor Serdy stated that the applicant probably needs approval of this license in order to get up
and running to earn money and build the wall.
Councilmember Barker stated that the person now applying for the liquor license is the original
owner from 2013 and should have to make good on her promise from 2007 of building the wall.
Councilmember Rizzi stated that she can't see holding up the liquor license just for a wall. We
should let the planning and development department do their job and hold them to their
conditions.
Councilmember Barker stated that everyone on this council advocates for businesses but she
would also like to advocate for the neighbors of this restaurant. She would also like to continue
this and give the applicant a chance to build the wall.
Councilmember Schroeder agrees with both sides. He is concerned that the application
contains false information.
Development Services Director Larry Kirch would like to clarify that the building department has
no power to require the wall that is in question. There is no permit that Development Services
can issue to make sure this wall is built. The best chance to get the wall built is to continue this
application until the wall is built.
Councilmember Struble asked for clarification on the specs of the wall. Mr. Esquivias stated it is
a 6 foot wall consisting of 3 feet of block and 3 feet of wrought iron and would enclose the
outside patio.
The applicant stated that the she does not want anyone on the east side patio as she just spent
$30,000 on a new septic tank. It has only been used once or twice. She sold the business
because her son had brain cancer. He died one year ago and the recent owner asked if she
would like to buy it back and she agreed. She did not think that she filled out the application
wrong.
Councilmember Rizzi asked the applicant if the smoking patio would have food, drinks and
music out there. The applicant stated that this is a bar and it is never really quiet and people do
have drinks and food out there. She stated that the music is played inside and people mostly
just go out there to smoke. She would like to remind the council that this bar has been there for
50 years.
Councilmember Evans asked if she does not really want the east patio then would she be willing
to take it off the diagram. The applicant said yes she would be willing to take it off. The applicant
says that she can ensure council that she will not use the east patio and she will submit a
revised drawing to the liquor board.
The applicant states that escrow has closed but she is not required to pay the mortgage until
January 1, 2020.
Councilmember Struble asked if the liquor board is even meeting during this pandemic. City
Clerk Jennifer Pena stated that the liquor board meets only as needed. City Attorney Joel Stern
stated that if it is approved then it is all administrative work but if it is denied then the liquor board
meets to discuss.

Development Services Planner Kelsey Schattnik presented the guidelines and process on

Community. Currently, there are 5 cities with this designation and they can be used as
examples when we are applying. A staff member would need to be appointed to head this
project. The process can take 1 - 3 years.
Councilmember Rizzi asked how this would change from what we currently already do. Ms.
Schattnik replied that our outdoor lighting regulations would need to be tightened up.
City Manager Bryant Powell stated that this is a council led project and staff would need
direction to staff from council in order to continue to pursue this project and learn more about
what exactly would need to be done.
Mayor Serdy stated that he received a letter from a Gold Canyon committee supporting this
application.
Councilmember Schroeder asked if we are in the ballpark of the criteria. Ms. Schattnik stated
that the city is in a good place but some areas do need to be tightened.

the costs would be.

REQUEST
Presentation and discussion on the human service programs and services being offered through

Human Services is generally defined as programs and services affording health, public health,
and human services care to all people, especially, to individuals of underprivileged conditions.
The human services provided by the Development Services Department are in addition to the
continuing efforts of various other city departments. Some examples include the Parks and
Recreation Department which manages senior services, the Apache Junction Public Library
which provides various programs specifically to children, and the Apache Junction Municipal
Court which offers the Mental Health Court and associated services.
RECOMMENDATION/ACTION REQUIRED
Staff respectfully recommends the city council receive a presentation and have a discussion on
the human service programs within the city.

Public Art Commission
A Public Art Commission was created through Ordinance 1478 to:
• Promote and encourage diverse citizen participation in public art;
• Assist corporations, commercial developments, and other private and governmental entities to
incorporate public art;
• Recommend the operating and capital improvement program budgets for the public art program;
• Conduct the request for qualifications process for all public art installations;

• Provide information, recommendations and advise city council and staff on public art policies
and initiatives relating to the city's mission and vision statements for all art;
• Serve as recommending body on public art projects relating to art in public places;
• Serve as the recommending body on public art projects relating to art in private development.
An amendment to the Apache Junction City Code, Volume II, Land Development Code, Chapter 1:
Zoning Ordinance, Article 1-13: Design Standards, § 1-13-4, Art in Public and Private Developments
established a public art program to celebrate the city's identity, enhances public spaces, strengthens
residents' ties to the community, attracts new businesses and tourism and promotes citizen awareness of,
and interest in, the arts. Placing art in publicly accessible spaces creates a more desirable place to live,
work and visit and improves the health, safety and welfare of the community. Public art projects have
the potential of connecting new commercial and residential development to the community and creating
a vibrant sense of place for residents and visitors. Art installations in both public and private
development that are accessible to the public further enhances these spaces, serves as a cultural resource
and establishes a distinctive local identity.

Homelessness Coordination
The Apache Junction Homeless Coalition creates a collaborative network of quality resources and
services to assist the homeless and at risk residents of Apache Junction.
The coalition, the first of its kind in Pinal County, has operated in various forms since 2015 to address a
need in the community. Initially, the coalition was tasked with creating strategies to address the
homeless population and conducting the annual federally required point in time count. Special events
were conducted including Project Connect events, community information breakfasts, and financial
stability classes. The coalition has also conducted hygiene, sock and underwear, and PB&J drives for
those who are in need. Other activities include hydration relief and providing information and referral
services through a street sheet.
The coalition conducted their first strategic planning process in 2017 and again in 2019. Through this
process, six key strategies were identified to help those experiencing homelessness and those who are at-
risk of homelessness: outreach, collaboration,policy, housing, employment, and basic needs.
At the heart of coalition's partnership is the Community Resource Center which encapsulates each of the
identified strategies. The center was created to connect services to those in need regardless of their
housing status. The center brings together different organizations each week to connect the community
to resources including: healthcare,benefit services (social security, DES, medical, SNAP),phones,
housing, employment, legal services, and mentoring. The center opened in September 2017.
Division staff serves as the contact for community information, resource, and referral services.

ADA and Civil Rights
The Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA)was enacted in 1990 to ensure people with disabilities have
the same opportunities as everyone else to participate in all aspects of American life. Modeled after the
Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color,religion, sex, or
national origin, the ADA is an equal opportunity law for people with disabilities. The ADA prohibits
discrimination based on disability.
Under the law, the City of Apache Junction strives to assure its programs, services and activities are
readily accessible and usable by qualified persons with disabilities. The city will reasonably modify
practices,policies and procedures to ensure participation is afforded to everyone. Therefore, the city
created an ADA and Civil Rights Plan.
The city has also created a Limited English Proficiency Plan (LEP) for the purpose of providing services
to persons with limited English proficiencies which hinder that person from having equal and
meaningful access to city programs and services. The Plan is to provide a framework for the provision of
timely and reasonable language assistance to LEP persons who come in contact with the city.

West: Residential and Commercial property,
zoned RS-10 and B-1
BACKGROUND
The property has historically been undeveloped and zoned RS-GR
(General Rural Low Density Single-Family Detached Residential) ,
no other development history is available .
Most recently the applicant has put the property in escrow to
purchase and develop the land.
PROPOSALS
PZ-3-20 is a proposed rezoning of approximately 4 . 5 acres
property from RS-GR (General Rural Low Density Single-Family
Detached Residential) to RM-1/PD (High Density Multiple-Family
Residential by Planned Development) . The PD rezoning concept
proposes a reduced rear yard setback from 20 feet to 15 feet, no
other deviations from the Zoning Ordinance have been requested
by the applicant.
Furthermore, the community will not be age restricted; internal
driveways will be private; and an entrance is proposed to be
located along Main Drive .
PLANNING STAFF ANALYSIS
Relationship to General Plan:
The subject site is designated by the city' s General Plan as
"Medium Density Residential" . Due to the proposed density of the
project and because the property is less than ten acres, a Minor
General Plan Amendment has been requested. The current General
Plan designates this property to a maximum of 6 dwelling units
per acre, the proposed plan is requesting a density of 13
dwelling units per acre.
Zoning/Site Context:
The 4 . 5 acres is a privately-owned piece of land surrounded by
residential and commercially zoned land. The proposed project is
located directly south of Stagecoach Trails Subdivision.

Planned Development Zoning:
There is only one zoning deviation requested with this planned
development rezoning:
Setbacks (Rear) :
The RM-1 zoning district normally requires a 20-foot rear yard
setback. The Planned Development proposes a 15-foot rear yard
setback. No other proposed deviations have been requested.

Structure
As trade-offs, the applicant is offering a range of amenities
such as a tot lot playground, community pool, pool cabanas,
jacuzzi, barbecues and plentiful greenspace .
Staff has also reviewed the proposed elevations and floor plans .
The proposed elevations meet the four-sided architecture
requirement as noted in the Zoning Ordinance (see attached
plans) .
Infrastructure Improvements:
The developer will need to extend all necessary services to the
site . SRP, Century Link, Southwest Gas and cable communication
facilities are probably already on site. Half-street
improvements and street dedications will be completed by the
developer along Superstition Boulevard (southern boundary) and
"Villas on Superstition"Cases PZ-3-20
April 14,2020 Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report
4
Main Drive (western boundary) . The internal driveways will be
constructed and maintained by the developer and or owner.
Furthermore, all other necessary 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:
Neighborhood meeting notification letters were sent from the
applicant to all property owners within a 300-foot radius . On
March 24, 2020 a neighborhood meeting took place but no one
attended the meeting. The only communication the applicant
received was a phone call by a property owner located in the
Stagecoach Trails Subdivision. The property owner expressed
concerns over perceived traffic increases, the possibility of
having boisterous neighbors, low income tenants and light
pollution. The applicant was able to convey that traffic should
not be a concern due to the location of the entrance, sound
should not be a concern due to the distance of each unit from
the subdivision in addition to the standard sound insulation
system on each of the units, the design of the community was
also intended to attract market rate tenants while providing a
luxury rental experience, and lastly all light fixtures were
designed to meet or exceed the Zoning Ordinance lighting
regulations .
Staff has not received any comments regarding the
Rezoning/Planned Development and Minor General Plan Amendment
request.
FINDINGS OF FACT FOR REZONE/PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
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: The design has been evaluated in many
different ways. With the help from different trades and
professionals, the current design has been created to
accommodate the needs of the new community while allowing the
"Villas on Superstition"Cases PZ-3-20
April 14,2020 Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report
5
inhabitants to come together centrally and enjoy the
amenities. It was import that each inhabitant have both public
and private space to gather, while living in a product that will
provide a luxury experience for them in a space that fits within
each their budget. This variety of housing type adds to the
demand within this area of Apache Junction.
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: Within the proposed design, all safety
concerns are accommodated and will meet code to ensure a safe
and comfortable environment for all inhabitants. We believe
this design to be a good uplifting environment for inhabitants
as it encourages gathering and befriending in the centralized
amenity area.
3 . That strict adherence to the ordinance is not required to
ensure that property values of adjacent properties will not
be reduced.
Applicant Response: It is not anticipated that property values
will reduce due to this community. As the design will be geared
toward a luxury product, nice interior and exterior materials,
as well as superior amenities, we anticipate that quality
neighbors will move in and be a strong part of the existing
community only increasing the value from what is existing there
today. This project is not designed to accommodate a low income
housing solution and is not planned in that way.
FINDINGS OF FACT FOR MINOR GENERAL PLAN AMENDEMENT
As required by the Apache Junction General Plan, a Minor General
Plan Amendment request may be approved by the City Council after
consideration has been given to specific criteria. The criteria
is 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: It is not intended to change the general
planning in such a way that this would become a commercial
site. It is proposed to maintain the residential feel and bring
"Villas on Superstition"Cases PZ-3-20
April 14,2020 Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report
6
inhabitants to this area increasing the demand for future
commercial development in the area. We agree with comments from
economic development regarding the proposed community offering a
good variety of housing types for those who are looking for
something different. The added density can be a positive way to
fit the market demands while bringing quality inhabitants to the
area.
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 2010 General
Plan.
Applicant Response: We believe that this development is a luxury
addition to the community. Although it is not a single-family
home, it does not necessarily take away from the value or become
a detriment to the community or the general plan for the
City. We are proposing a high-end product attached. As a new
variety in housing type, many different market driven
inhabitants have options and can life in this area. This
project should be a long-lasting positive addition to the
community.
3 . Whether the proposed amendment is justified by an error in
the 2010 General Plan as originally adopted.
Applicant Response: Not justified by an Error.
4 . Whether the proposed change is generally consistent with
goals, objectives, and other elements of the 2010 General
Plan.
Applicant Response: Yes, we believe the goals and objectives of
the plan fit well and are consistent with what this community
intends to offer.
5 . Whether the proposed change is justified by a change in
community conditions or neighborhood characteristics since
adoption of the Plan.
Applicant Response: We believe the general plan and what we
intend to develop are very similar. We are maintaining a
community environment that will bring quality inhabitants to
this area and encourage growth and viability within the
commercial sector.
"Villas on Superstition"Cases PZ-3-20
April 14,2020 Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report
7
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: Not planning to alter the plan
significantly.
b. Significantly reducing the housing to jobs balance in the
Planning Area.
Applicant Response: We believe that there will still be a good
balance in the community as there is still a need for growth and
development in Apache Junction. This development will help
trigger a few of the other needs that will incur balance.
c. Substantially decreasing existing and future water
supplies .
Applicant Response: Not planning to alter the plan
significantly. Exterior landscape is maintained as low water
use around the front patios of the development.
d. Replacing employment with residential uses .
Applicant Response: Not replacing or removing employment.
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: Not impacting the infrastructure in a
negative way.
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: We have received no comments or concerns
about traffic impact on Main Dr. where the entrance is
"Villas on Superstition"Cases PZ-3-20
April 14,2020 Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report
8
proposed. We believe this will not impact traffic flows beyond
the level of service the roads are designed to accommodate.
g. Affecting the existing character (i .e . , visual, physical
and functional) of the immediate area.
Applicant Response: We have worked closely with City Staff to
ensure that we are unique, but maintaining all aspects of the
character area as considered in the surrounding community.
h. Increasing the exposure of residents to aviation generated
noise, safety and/or flight operations .
Applicant Response: We are maintaining a residential development
on this location. No change to the exposure.
i . Materially diminishing the environmental quality of the
air, water, land, or cultural resources .
Applicant Response: We will be maintaining the use of common and
quality materials. We have no intention of diminishing any
environmental recourses.
j . Significantly altering recreational amenities such as open
space, parks, and trails .
Applicant Response: We do not want to alter this unless the
alteration is an increase, as we are in favor of maintaining
these areas as evident in the central amenity area of the
proposed site plan.
PLANNING DIVISION RECOMMENDATION
Staff acknowledges that only one deviation from the Zoning
Ordinance has been requested for this proposed development.
Staff also acknowledges that this product type will diversify
the City' s current housing stock as needed and emphasized by the
2020 General Plan. As such staff respectfully recommends to the
Commission that they include the following conditions of
approval as part of a favorable recommendation to the City
Council . As always, Commissioners may recommend changes or
additional conditions which they feel will improve the
development plan.

Project Narrative
On behalf of the property owners, as well as Villas on Superstition, we are requesting approval for the
rezoning of approximately 4.23 gross acres located at the NEC of Main Drive and Superstition Blvd,
Apache Junction, AZ 85120. Specifically, a rezone from RS-GR (4.23 ac) to RM-1 (High Density Multiple-
Family Residential) PAD to accommodate a for-sale 52-Villa community.
The Villas on Superstition function more like a grouping of attached single-family buildings and are similar
to a compact single-family subdivision offering amenities in a central area and community connection to
its owners.
The gated community will provide 54 uncover parking stalls, 51 covered parking stalls and 17 garages for
a total of 122 parking stalls. The building area proposed is 47,272 SF which is a 25.5% of the land gross
area.The open area proposed is 58,881 SF which is a 31.25%of the land gross area.

Subject: Continuation of rezoning case PZ-1-20 Old West Highway Village
Attachments: PZ-1-20 Old West Highway Village Review Comments
Hello Frank and Greg:
This e-mail follows up on the conversation we had on Tuesday, March 31. As you recall, I had left you a message on
Monday asking for a status on certain requested exhibits and submittal items, in anticipation of needing review time of
said items before our scheduled P&Z meeting on April 14 (continued from the March 10 P&Z meeting). See Nick's e-mail
from February 12 (attached) wherein he specified the items needed to make the rezoning submittal complete. I believe
the following bullet points highlight our discussion and game plan for the near term:
• Frank and Greg ("applicants") stated that they do want to move forward with rezoning and that Old West
Highway Village is still a very viable project;
• Applicants are in the process of changing out their design team;
• With the current COVID situation, it has been very difficult to get ahold of people, very few people working in
offices, everything is slow right now;
• Rudy mentioned that the first continuance request (requested at Feb 25 P&Z meeting) was staff's suggestion
and we did not charge applicants a $250 continuance fee;
• Second continuance request (requested at March 10 P&Z meeting) was applicants', because they were still
lacking exhibits, and we do need to collect a $250 continuance fee, which we have not yet done;
• Because of the current extraordinary circumstances, Rudy suggested we kick everything out to the summer,
when hopefully things have gotten more or less back to normal;
• Suggested I go to P&Z on April 14 and City Council on May 5 (currently scheduled public hearing dates) and
request another continuance (no fee), but to a non-specific date;
• The idea is to give applicants time to work with their new design team and develop proper exhibits, then when
ready, submit new exhibits to staff for review;
• When project is ready to move forward, staff will establish new public hearing dates, advise applicants of such
and applicants will submit payment for new public hearings ad and mailings;
• Applicants will advise their clients/property owners about the new game plan.
I believe that covers what we discussed. If I missed something, please let me know. The only thing we need from you
in the next couple of business days is for you to please catch up on the one $250 continuance fee. Please contact
Lesley at 480-474-5097 or Robina at 480-474-5091 on Monday or Tuesday, to remit said payment by debit or credit card
over the phone. Thanks guys and we'll talk to you real soon.

INTEROFFICE MEMO

TO: Honorable Mayor and DATE: May 5, 2020
Members of City Council
FROM: R. Joel Stern
City Attorney
SUBJECT: SUNRISE SHADOWS HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION STORMWATER
DRAINAGE SETTLEMENT, RELEASE AND TEMPORARY
CONSTRUCTION EASEMENT AGREEMENT; OUR FILE NO. 20-014
The proposed agreement between City of Apache Junction and Sunrise
Shadows Homeowners Association ("HOA") settles the parties' ongoing dispute
relating to who is responsible for cleaning out the on-site drainage pipes and
channels in the subdivision located south of Broadway Avenue down to the
northwest corner of 121h Avenue west of San Marcos Drive.
In October 1998, the mayor and city council approved the preliminary plat for
the Sunrise Shadows 48-lot subdivision and approved the final plat in March
2000. During the pre-plat process, drainage was a significant topic of
discussion. The street dedication and drainage easement language in the plat,
covenants/conditions/restrictions ("CC&Rs" § 9.06), and a subdivision public
report dated June 9, 2000, required the HOA to maintain the tracts for
stormwater purposes and pay for such maintenance.
Years went by with the HOA management company and/or its successors not
appropriately maintaining the stormwater drainage tracts which eventually
allowed sediment to build up underneath the 11th Avenue crossing, which in turn
caused blockage and diversion of the flow onto 11th Avenue going west and then
entering numerous homes south of 11th Avenue (see attached photos taken in
September 2019).
Late last year, staff met with some very concerned residents and HOA members
wherein there was a disagreement over the maintenance responsibility. After
some discussions, the city offered to provide a one-time sediment removal and
channel improvement effort with the understanding future maintenance will be
routinely performed by the HOA to avoid the blockage. The settlement, release
and temporary construction easement accomplishes this goal.
If approved, city crews will begin the channel improvements on or after June 1,
2020 with completion accomplished by July 30, 2020. The Corona virus
pandemic may necessitate a later deadline, but staff is currently committed to
this time period. The HOA is also releasing the city from any liability incurred as
a result of any improvements made and is acknowledging its duty to maintain the
channels and cleaning of the pipes underneath 11t" Avenue. The new HOA
management company is called Sentry Management and will ensure the HOA
follows through with as-needed sediment removal.
The estimated cost for the city work is approximately $10,000.00.

one or more instances on performance of any of the terms or conditions of this
Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege contained herein shall not be
considered as thereafter waiving such terms, conditions, rights or privileges, and

Health and Human Services Commission
SUBJECT: Agreement for Health and Human Services
REQUEST
Presentation, discussion, and consideration on proposed changes to the fiscal year 2020-2021
Agreement for Health and Human Services.
BACKGROUND
The city created a Health and Human Services Commission to assist with allocating funds and
executing an agreement between non-profit agencies and the city to address health and human
service needs. Ordinance 659 adopted in November 1988 outlines the reporting requirements,
documentation, and procedures for such funds. Section 1, subsection 3, indicates all city funds
allocated or granted to any non-profit agency shall be by means of a written contract based upon
services to be provided to or work to be performed on behalf of the city and its residents.
DISCUSSION
In preparation for funding recommendations to the city council for fiscal year 2020-2021, the
commission reviewed the standard agreement and proposes the following changes:
1. Date changes for the appropriate fiscal year throughout the document.
2. Insert a detailed description of the scope of work including what the agency will provide
and what the city will require.
3. Removal of sections which indicate only service can be provided to city residents with
extensive requirements for proof of residency.
4. Adding clarification of the dates for filing reports.
5. Remove requirements for reporting from mail to e-mail submittals. While also clarifying
what will need to be submitted with the reports customized to the agency and project.
6. Clarified payment will be received upon the completion of quarterly reports
demonstrating work was completed. Funding is reimbursable and therefore no refund will
be required.

7. Require representation at the Apache Junction Community Resource Center, Health and
Wellness Expo, and Project Connect events.
8. Updating the city contact person information.
9. Minor grammatical corrections.
10. Although subcontractors may not be used, the city may pay partial payment only on work
performed as outlined under Section I.H.
Staff presented the recommendations set forth by the commission on March 16, 2020. During
this presentation a few items were identified by the council for consideration.
• A question was asked about payments. The city ordinance indicates the following: "All
city funds allocated or granted under the provisions of this section shall be released in
equal quarterly installments or quarterly payments based upon a schedule of anticipated
expenses which has been approved by the Mayor and Council". Therefore, under the
current ordinance,the executed agreement may outline under which quarters funds will
be expended. It is not a requirement for all payments to be equally dispersed through the
quarters.
• Can there be a clause in the agreement which allows for site visits. The following clause
is proposed: "Service Provider agrees to allow reasonable inspections of programs and
services by a city council member, commission member, or staff during the contract
period.
The commission will be reviewing and discussion the funding requests in May with
recommendations brought forth to the city council in June. All agreements are intended to be
executed by July 1, 2020.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff respectfully recommends the city council receive a presentation, discuss the proposed
changes, and approve the agreement with any identified revisions.

documents, information and data prepared or assembled by Services Provider under
this Agreement shall be and remain the property of City and shall be forwarded to
City at any time City requires such papers, but is subject to two (2) year retention
schedule set forth in section 10 above.
17. CITY LICENSE REQUIRED: Services Provider represents and warrants that
any license necessary to perform the work under this Agreement is current and
valid. Services Provider understands that the activity described herein constitutes
"doing business in the City of Apache Junction" and Services Provider agrees to
obtain a non-profit license pursuant to Chapter 8 of the Apache Junction City Code,
Vol. I, and keep such license current during the Term of this Agreement. Services
Provider also acknowledges that the tax provisions of the City of Apache Junction
Tax Code may apply and, if so, shall obtain a tax privilege license through the
Arizona Department of Revenue.
18. ASSIGNMENT & DELEGATION: This Agreement has been entered into based
upon the reputation, expertise and qualifications of Services Provider. Neither Party
to this Agreement shall assign its rights or interest in the Agreement, either in whole
or in part nor any monies due to or become due to it. In addition, all duties set forth
herein are non-delegable.
19. ENTIRE AGREEMENT: This Agreement and any attachments represent the
entire agreement between City and Services Provider and supersede all prior
negotiations, representations or agreements, either express or implied, written or
oral. It is mutually understood and agreed that no alteration or variation of the terms
6
and conditions of this Agreement shall be valid unless made in writing and signed by
the parties hereto. Written and signed amendments shall automatically become part
of the supporting documents, and shall supersede any inconsistent provision
therein; provided, however, that any apparent inconsistency shall be resolved, if
possible, by construing the provisions as mutually complementary and
supplementary.
20. SEVERABILITY: City and Services Provider each believe that the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement are in compliance with all applicable
laws. However, in the unlikely event that any provision of this Agreement is declared
void or unenforceable (or is construed as requiring City to do any act in violation of
any applicable laws, including any constitutional provision, law, regulation, or city
code), such provision shall be deemed severed from this Agreement and this
Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect; provided that this
Agreement shall retroactively be deemed reformed to the extent reasonably possible
in such a manner so that the reformed agreement (and any related agreements
effective as of the same date) provide essentially the same rights and benefits
(economic and otherwise) to the Parties as if such severance and reformation were
not required. Unless prohibited by applicable laws, the Parties further shall perform
all acts and execute, acknowledge and/or deliver all amendments, instruments and
consents necessary to accomplish and to give effect to the purposes of this
Agreement, as reformed.
21. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST: This Agreement is subject to, and maybe
terminated by City in accordance with, the provisions of A.R.S. § 38-511.
22. POLITICAL ACTIVITIES: As a community service-based organization,
Services Provider is a non-political organization.
Its employees are prohibited from engaging in any partisan political activity with
respect to candidates for political office beyond the private expression of personal
opinion, registering as a member of a political party, signing nomination petitions
and voting in any special, primary or general election. No board member, officer or
employee of Services Provider shall solicit any contribution in cash or services from
any Services Provider employee to support any candidate for public office. No board
member or officer shall use the name of Services Provider, or use their affiliation
with Services Provider, to engage in any partisan political activity or form of
lobbying, of any kind or to solicit any contribution in cash or services to support any
candidate for public office. If a board member or officer should engage in said
political candidate activities, they shall make it clear that they are doing so in their
personal and private capacity, and are not associated with Services Provider in any
way, while engaging in said activity. The functions and activities of Services Provider
are non-political with respect to candidates for political office. Therefore, all board
members, officers and employees will refrain from engaging in any partisan political
activity or any form of lobbying, of whatsoever type or nature, while attending or
participating in Services Provider function or event. This includes the circulation or
signing of nomination petitions or soliciting any contributions in cash or services
from anyone to support any candidate for public office. The above-prohibition on
lobbying includes communicating with commission members and councilmembers
for the purpose of gaining an advantage in receiving health and human services
funding.
23. COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS: Services Provider
understands and acknowledges the applicability of the American with Disabilities
Act, the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 and the Drug Free Workplace
Act of 1989 to the SOW. As required by A.R.S. § 41-4401, Services Provider hereby
warrants its compliance with all federal immigration laws and regulations that relate
to its employees and A.R.S. § 23-214(A). Services Provider further warrants that
after hiring an employee, Services Provider will verify the employment eligibility of
the employee through the E-Verify program. A breach of this warranty shall be
deemed a material breach of the Agreement that is subject to penalties up to and
including termination of this Agreement. Services Provider is subject to a penalty of
$100 per day for the first violation, $500 per day for the second violation, and $1,000
per day for the third violation. City at its option may terminate this Agreement after
the third violation. Services Provider shall not be deemed in material breach of this
Agreement if the Services Provider establish compliance with the employment
verification provisions of§§ 274A and 274B of the federal Immigration and
Nationality Act and the E-Verify requirements contained in A.R.S. § 23-214(A). City
retains the legal right to inspect the papers of any Services Provider who works
under this Agreement to ensure that the Services Provider is complying with the
warranty. Any inspection will be conducted after reasonable notice and at
reasonable times. If state law is amended, the Parties may modify this paragraph
consistent with state law.
24. TIME OF ESSENCE: Time is of the essence of this Agreement and each
provision hereof.
25. CONDITIONAL APPROVAL: The Parties understand and acknowledge this
Agreement is approved on a conditional basis pending Services Provider's timely
filing of complete and correct reports for the 4th quarter of the previous fiscal year
(if prior year's funding was provided by City). The 4th quarter reports shall be filed
within the deadlines established by the prior agreement and must contain the
required information as set forth in the prior agreement.
26. PROHIBITION TO CONTRACT WITH SERVICES PROVIDER WHO ENGAGE IN
BOYCOTT OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL: The Parties acknowledge A.R.S.
§§ 35-393 through 35-393.03, as amended, which forbids public entities from
contracting with a contractor or organization who engage in boycotts of the State of
Israel. Should Services Provider under this Agreement engage in any such boycott
against the State of Israel, this Agreement is automatically terminated. Any such
boycott is a material breach of contract and will subject Services Provider to
monetary damages, including but not limited to, consequential and liquidated
damages.

under this Agreement to ensure that the Services Provider is complying with the
warranty. Any inspection will be conducted after reasonable notice and at
reasonable times. If state law is amended, the Parties may modify this paragraph
consistent with state law.

provision hereof.

Agreement is approved on a conditional basis pending Services Provider's timely
9

noise complaints from neighbors. The applicant is present to answer questions.

conditions that the liquor board will just approve it and not enforce the conditions.

Mayor Serdy stated that the applicant probably needs approval of this license in order to get up
and running to earn money and build the wall.
Councilmember Barker stated that the person now applying for the liquor license is the original
owner from 2013 and should have to make good on her promise from 2007 of building the wall.
Councilmember Rizzi stated that she can't see holding up the liquor license just for a wall. We
should let the planning and development department do their job and hold them to their
conditions.
Councilmember Barker stated that everyone on this council advocates for businesses but she
would also like to advocate for the neighbors of this restaurant. She would also like to continue
this and give the applicant a chance to build the wall.
Councilmember Schroeder agrees with both sides. He is concerned that the application
contains false information.
Development Services Director Larry Kirch would like to clarify that the building department has
no power to require the wall that is in question. There is no permit that Development Services
can issue to make sure this wall is built. The best chance to get the wall built is to continue this
application until the wall is built.
Councilmember Struble asked for clarification on the specs of the wall. Mr. Esquivias stated it is
a 6 foot wall consisting of 3 feet of block and 3 feet of wrought iron and would enclose the
outside patio.
The applicant stated that the she does not want anyone on the east side patio as she just spent
$30,000 on a new septic tank. It has only been used once or twice. She sold the business
because her son had brain cancer. He died one year ago and the recent owner asked if she
would like to buy it back and she agreed. She did not think that she filled out the application
wrong.
Councilmember Rizzi asked the applicant if the smoking patio would have food, drinks and
music out there. The applicant stated that this is a bar and it is never really quiet and people do
have drinks and food out there. She stated that the music is played inside and people mostly
just go out there to smoke. She would like to remind the council that this bar has been there for
50 years.
Councilmember Evans asked if she does not really want the east patio then would she be willing
to take it off the diagram. The applicant said yes she would be willing to take it off. The applicant
says that she can ensure council that she will not use the east patio and she will submit a
revised drawing to the liquor board.
The applicant states that escrow has closed but she is not required to pay the mortgage until
January 1, 2020.
Councilmember Struble asked if the liquor board is even meeting during this pandemic. City
Clerk Jennifer Pena stated that the liquor board meets only as needed. City Attorney Joel Stern
stated that if it is approved then it is all administrative work but if it is denied then the liquor board
meets to discuss.

Public Art Commission
A Public Art Commission was created through Ordinance 1478 to:
• Promote and encourage diverse citizen participation in public art;
• Assist corporations, commercial developments, and other private and governmental entities to
incorporate public art;

An amendment to the Apache Junction City Code, Volume II, Land Development Code, Chapter 1:
Zoning Ordinance, Article 1-13: Design Standards, § 1-13-4, Art in Public and Private Developments
established a public art program to celebrate the city's identity, enhances public spaces, strengthens
residents' ties to the community, attracts new businesses and tourism and promotes citizen awareness of,
and interest in, the arts. Placing art in publicly accessible spaces creates a more desirable place to live,
work and visit and improves the health, safety and welfare of the community. Public art projects have
the potential of connecting new commercial and residential development to the community and creating
a vibrant sense of place for residents and visitors. Art installations in both public and private
development that are accessible to the public further enhances these spaces, serves as a cultural resource
and establishes a distinctive local identity.

Homelessness Coordination
The Apache Junction Homeless Coalition creates a collaborative network of quality resources and
services to assist the homeless and at risk residents of Apache Junction.
The coalition, the first of its kind in Pinal County, has operated in various forms since 2015 to address a
need in the community. Initially, the coalition was tasked with creating strategies to address the
homeless population and conducting the annual federally required point in time count. Special events
were conducted including Project Connect events, community information breakfasts, and financial
stability classes. The coalition has also conducted hygiene, sock and underwear, and PB&J drives for
those who are in need. Other activities include hydration relief and providing information and referral
services through a street sheet.
The coalition conducted their first strategic planning process in 2017 and again in 2019. Through this
process, six key strategies were identified to help those experiencing homelessness and those who are at-
risk of homelessness: outreach, collaboration,policy, housing, employment, and basic needs.
At the heart of coalition's partnership is the Community Resource Center which encapsulates each of the
identified strategies. The center was created to connect services to those in need regardless of their
housing status. The center brings together different organizations each week to connect the community
to resources including: healthcare,benefit services (social security, DES, medical, SNAP),phones,
housing, employment, legal services, and mentoring. The center opened in September 2017.
Division staff serves as the contact for community information, resource, and referral services.

ADA and Civil Rights
The Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA)was enacted in 1990 to ensure people with disabilities have
the same opportunities as everyone else to participate in all aspects of American life. Modeled after the
Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color,religion, sex, or
national origin, the ADA is an equal opportunity law for people with disabilities. The ADA prohibits
discrimination based on disability.
Under the law, the City of Apache Junction strives to assure its programs, services and activities are
readily accessible and usable by qualified persons with disabilities. The city will reasonably modify
practices,policies and procedures to ensure participation is afforded to everyone. Therefore, the city
created an ADA and Civil Rights Plan.
The city has also created a Limited English Proficiency Plan (LEP) for the purpose of providing services
to persons with limited English proficiencies which hinder that person from having equal and
meaningful access to city programs and services. The Plan is to provide a framework for the provision of
timely and reasonable language assistance to LEP persons who come in contact with the city.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
PUBLIC HEARING STAFF REPORT
DATE : April 14, 2020
CASE NUMBERS : PZ-3-20 "Villas on Superstition"
OWNERS : Richard Lauver and Ariel Lauver Trust
APPLICANT: Rob Hale and Dane Astle of Edifice
Architecture
REQUEST: Proposed rezoning of approximately 4 . 5
acres from RS-GR (General Rural Low
Density Single-Family Detached
Residential) to RM-1/PD (High Density
Multiple-Family Residential) and a Minor
General Plan Amendment from Medium Density
Residential to High Density Residential
for a 52-unit leased residential
community.
LOCATION: The property is located at the northeast
corner of Superstition Boulevard and Main
Drive
GENERAL PLAN/
ZONING DESIGNATION: Medium Density Residential ("MDR") ;
General Rural Low Density Single-Family
Detached Residential ("RS-GR")
SURROUNDING USES : North: Stagecoach Trails, zoned RS-5/PD;
South: Residential and Commercial
property, zoned RS-10 and B-1;
East: Ironwood Self-Storage, zoned B-1/PD;
"Villas on Superstition"Cases PZ-3-20
April 14,2020 Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report

West: Residential and Commercial property,
zoned RS-10 and B-1
BACKGROUND
The property has historically been undeveloped and zoned RS-GR
(General Rural Low Density Single-Family Detached Residential) ,
no other development history is available .
Most recently the applicant has put the property in escrow to
purchase and develop the land.
PROPOSALS
PZ-3-20 is a proposed rezoning of approximately 4 . 5 acres
property from RS-GR (General Rural Low Density Single-Family
Detached Residential) to RM-1/PD (High Density Multiple-Family
Residential by Planned Development) . The PD rezoning concept
proposes a reduced rear yard setback from 20 feet to 15 feet, no
other deviations from the Zoning Ordinance have been requested
by the applicant.
Furthermore, the community will not be age restricted; internal
driveways will be private; and an entrance is proposed to be
located along Main Drive .
PLANNING STAFF ANALYSIS
Relationship to General Plan:
The subject site is designated by the city' s General Plan as
"Medium Density Residential" . Due to the proposed density of the
project and because the property is less than ten acres, a Minor
General Plan Amendment has been requested. The current General
Plan designates this property to a maximum of 6 dwelling units
per acre, the proposed plan is requesting a density of 13
dwelling units per acre.
Zoning/Site Context:
The 4 . 5 acres is a privately-owned piece of land surrounded by
residential and commercially zoned land. The proposed project is
located directly south of Stagecoach Trails Subdivision.

Planned Development Zoning:
There is only one zoning deviation requested with this planned
development rezoning:
Setbacks (Rear) :
The RM-1 zoning district normally requires a 20-foot rear yard
setback. The Planned Development proposes a 15-foot rear yard
setback. No other proposed deviations have been requested.
Proposed Deviations Table :

Structure
As trade-offs, the applicant is offering a range of amenities
such as a tot lot playground, community pool, pool cabanas,
jacuzzi, barbecues and plentiful greenspace .
Staff has also reviewed the proposed elevations and floor plans .
The proposed elevations meet the four-sided architecture
requirement as noted in the Zoning Ordinance (see attached
plans) .
Infrastructure Improvements:
The developer will need to extend all necessary services to the
site . SRP, Century Link, Southwest Gas and cable communication
facilities are probably already on site. Half-street
improvements and street dedications will be completed by the
developer along Superstition Boulevard (southern boundary) and
"Villas on Superstition"Cases PZ-3-20
April 14,2020 Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report
4
Main Drive (western boundary) . The internal driveways will be
constructed and maintained by the developer and or owner.
Furthermore, all other necessary 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:
Neighborhood meeting notification letters were sent from the
applicant to all property owners within a 300-foot radius . On
March 24, 2020 a neighborhood meeting took place but no one
attended the meeting. The only communication the applicant
received was a phone call by a property owner located in the
Stagecoach Trails Subdivision. The property owner expressed
concerns over perceived traffic increases, the possibility of
having boisterous neighbors, low income tenants and light
pollution. The applicant was able to convey that traffic should
not be a concern due to the location of the entrance, sound
should not be a concern due to the distance of each unit from
the subdivision in addition to the standard sound insulation
system on each of the units, the design of the community was
also intended to attract market rate tenants while providing a
luxury rental experience, and lastly all light fixtures were
designed to meet or exceed the Zoning Ordinance lighting
regulations .
Staff has not received any comments regarding the
Rezoning/Planned Development and Minor General Plan Amendment
request.
FINDINGS OF FACT FOR REZONE/PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
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: The design has been evaluated in many
different ways. With the help from different trades and
professionals, the current design has been created to
accommodate the needs of the new community while allowing the
"Villas on Superstition"Cases PZ-3-20
April 14,2020 Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report
5
inhabitants to come together centrally and enjoy the
amenities. It was import that each inhabitant have both public
and private space to gather, while living in a product that will
provide a luxury experience for them in a space that fits within
each their budget. This variety of housing type adds to the
demand within this area of Apache Junction.
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: Within the proposed design, all safety
concerns are accommodated and will meet code to ensure a safe
and comfortable environment for all inhabitants. We believe
this design to be a good uplifting environment for inhabitants
as it encourages gathering and befriending in the centralized
amenity area.
3 . That strict adherence to the ordinance is not required to
ensure that property values of adjacent properties will not
be reduced.
Applicant Response: It is not anticipated that property values
will reduce due to this community. As the design will be geared
toward a luxury product, nice interior and exterior materials,
as well as superior amenities, we anticipate that quality
neighbors will move in and be a strong part of the existing
community only increasing the value from what is existing there
today. This project is not designed to accommodate a low income
housing solution and is not planned in that way.
FINDINGS OF FACT FOR MINOR GENERAL PLAN AMENDEMENT
As required by the Apache Junction General Plan, a Minor General
Plan Amendment request may be approved by the City Council after
consideration has been given to specific criteria. The criteria
is 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: It is not intended to change the general
planning in such a way that this would become a commercial
site. It is proposed to maintain the residential feel and bring
"Villas on Superstition"Cases PZ-3-20
April 14,2020 Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report
6
inhabitants to this area increasing the demand for future
commercial development in the area. We agree with comments from
economic development regarding the proposed community offering a
good variety of housing types for those who are looking for
something different. The added density can be a positive way to
fit the market demands while bringing quality inhabitants to the
area.
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 2010 General
Plan.
Applicant Response: We believe that this development is a luxury
addition to the community. Although it is not a single-family
home, it does not necessarily take away from the value or become
a detriment to the community or the general plan for the
City. We are proposing a high-end product attached. As a new
variety in housing type, many different market driven
inhabitants have options and can life in this area. This
project should be a long-lasting positive addition to the
community.
3 . Whether the proposed amendment is justified by an error in
the 2010 General Plan as originally adopted.
Applicant Response: Not justified by an Error.
4 . Whether the proposed change is generally consistent with
goals, objectives, and other elements of the 2010 General
Plan.
Applicant Response: Yes, we believe the goals and objectives of
the plan fit well and are consistent with what this community
intends to offer.
5 . Whether the proposed change is justified by a change in
community conditions or neighborhood characteristics since
adoption of the Plan.
Applicant Response: We believe the general plan and what we
intend to develop are very similar. We are maintaining a
community environment that will bring quality inhabitants to
this area and encourage growth and viability within the
commercial sector.
"Villas on Superstition"Cases PZ-3-20
April 14,2020 Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report

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: Not planning to alter the plan
significantly.
b. Significantly reducing the housing to jobs balance in the
Planning Area.
Applicant Response: We believe that there will still be a good
balance in the community as there is still a need for growth and
development in Apache Junction. This development will help
trigger a few of the other needs that will incur balance.
c. Substantially decreasing existing and future water
supplies .
Applicant Response: Not planning to alter the plan
significantly. Exterior landscape is maintained as low water
use around the front patios of the development.
d. Replacing employment with residential uses .
Applicant Response: Not replacing or removing employment.
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: Not impacting the infrastructure in a
negative way.
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: We have received no comments or concerns
about traffic impact on Main Dr. where the entrance is
"Villas on Superstition"Cases PZ-3-20
April 14,2020 Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report
8
proposed. We believe this will not impact traffic flows beyond
the level of service the roads are designed to accommodate.
g. Affecting the existing character (i .e . , visual, physical
and functional) of the immediate area.
Applicant Response: We have worked closely with City Staff to
ensure that we are unique, but maintaining all aspects of the
character area as considered in the surrounding community.
h. Increasing the exposure of residents to aviation generated
noise, safety and/or flight operations .
Applicant Response: We are maintaining a residential development
on this location. No change to the exposure.
i . Materially diminishing the environmental quality of the
air, water, land, or cultural resources .
Applicant Response: We will be maintaining the use of common and
quality materials. We have no intention of diminishing any
environmental recourses.
j . Significantly altering recreational amenities such as open
space, parks, and trails .
Applicant Response: We do not want to alter this unless the
alteration is an increase, as we are in favor of maintaining
these areas as evident in the central amenity area of the
proposed site plan.
PLANNING DIVISION RECOMMENDATION
Staff acknowledges that only one deviation from the Zoning
Ordinance has been requested for this proposed development.
Staff also acknowledges that this product type will diversify
the City' s current housing stock as needed and emphasized by the
2020 General Plan. As such staff respectfully recommends to the
Commission that they include the following conditions of
approval as part of a favorable recommendation to the City
Council . As always, Commissioners may recommend changes or
additional conditions which they feel will improve the
development plan.

Project Narrative
On behalf of the property owners, as well as Villas on Superstition, we are requesting approval for the
rezoning of approximately 4.23 gross acres located at the NEC of Main Drive and Superstition Blvd,
Apache Junction, AZ 85120. Specifically, a rezone from RS-GR (4.23 ac) to RM-1 (High Density Multiple-
Family Residential) PAD to accommodate a for-sale 52-Villa community.
The Villas on Superstition function more like a grouping of attached single-family buildings and are similar
to a compact single-family subdivision offering amenities in a central area and community connection to
its owners.
The gated community will provide 54 uncover parking stalls, 51 covered parking stalls and 17 garages for
a total of 122 parking stalls. The building area proposed is 47,272 SF which is a 25.5% of the land gross
area.The open area proposed is 58,881 SF which is a 31.25%of the land gross area.

Subject: Continuation of rezoning case PZ-1-20 Old West Highway Village
Attachments: PZ-1-20 Old West Highway Village Review Comments
Hello Frank and Greg:
This e-mail follows up on the conversation we had on Tuesday, March 31. As you recall, I had left you a message on
Monday asking for a status on certain requested exhibits and submittal items, in anticipation of needing review time of
said items before our scheduled P&Z meeting on April 14 (continued from the March 10 P&Z meeting). See Nick's e-mail
from February 12 (attached) wherein he specified the items needed to make the rezoning submittal complete. I believe
the following bullet points highlight our discussion and game plan for the near term:
• Frank and Greg ("applicants") stated that they do want to move forward with rezoning and that Old West
Highway Village is still a very viable project;
• Applicants are in the process of changing out their design team;
• With the current COVID situation, it has been very difficult to get ahold of people, very few people working in
offices, everything is slow right now;
• Rudy mentioned that the first continuance request (requested at Feb 25 P&Z meeting) was staff's suggestion
and we did not charge applicants a $250 continuance fee;
• Second continuance request (requested at March 10 P&Z meeting) was applicants', because they were still
lacking exhibits, and we do need to collect a $250 continuance fee, which we have not yet done;
• Because of the current extraordinary circumstances, Rudy suggested we kick everything out to the summer,
when hopefully things have gotten more or less back to normal;
• Suggested I go to P&Z on April 14 and City Council on May 5 (currently scheduled public hearing dates) and
request another continuance (no fee), but to a non-specific date;
• The idea is to give applicants time to work with their new design team and develop proper exhibits, then when
ready, submit new exhibits to staff for review;
• When project is ready to move forward, staff will establish new public hearing dates, advise applicants of such
and applicants will submit payment for new public hearings ad and mailings;
• Applicants will advise their clients/property owners about the new game plan.
I believe that covers what we discussed. If I missed something, please let me know. The only thing we need from you
in the next couple of business days is for you to please catch up on the one $250 continuance fee. Please contact
Lesley at 480-474-5097 or Robina at 480-474-5091 on Monday or Tuesday, to remit said payment by debit or credit card
over the phone. Thanks guys and we'll talk to you real soon.

INTEROFFICE MEMO
OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY
TO: Honorable Mayor and DATE: May 5, 2020
Members of City Council
FROM: R. Joel Stern
City Attorney
SUBJECT: SUNRISE SHADOWS HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION STORMWATER
DRAINAGE SETTLEMENT, RELEASE AND TEMPORARY
CONSTRUCTION EASEMENT AGREEMENT; OUR FILE NO. 20-014
The proposed agreement between City of Apache Junction and Sunrise
Shadows Homeowners Association ("HOA") settles the parties' ongoing dispute
relating to who is responsible for cleaning out the on-site drainage pipes and
channels in the subdivision located south of Broadway Avenue down to the
northwest corner of 121h Avenue west of San Marcos Drive.
In October 1998, the mayor and city council approved the preliminary plat for
the Sunrise Shadows 48-lot subdivision and approved the final plat in March
2000. During the pre-plat process, drainage was a significant topic of
discussion. The street dedication and drainage easement language in the plat,
covenants/conditions/restrictions ("CC&Rs" § 9.06), and a subdivision public
report dated June 9, 2000, required the HOA to maintain the tracts for
stormwater purposes and pay for such maintenance.
Years went by with the HOA management company and/or its successors not
appropriately maintaining the stormwater drainage tracts which eventually
allowed sediment to build up underneath the 11th Avenue crossing, which in turn
caused blockage and diversion of the flow onto 11th Avenue going west and then
entering numerous homes south of 11th Avenue (see attached photos taken in
September 2019).
Late last year, staff met with some very concerned residents and HOA members
wherein there was a disagreement over the maintenance responsibility. After
some discussions, the city offered to provide a one-time sediment removal and
channel improvement effort with the understanding future maintenance will be
routinely performed by the HOA to avoid the blockage. The settlement, release
and temporary construction easement accomplishes this goal.
If approved, city crews will begin the channel improvements on or after June 1,
2020 with completion accomplished by July 30, 2020. The Corona virus
pandemic may necessitate a later deadline, but staff is currently committed to
this time period. The HOA is also releasing the city from any liability incurred as
a result of any improvements made and is acknowledging its duty to maintain the
channels and cleaning of the pipes underneath 11t" Avenue. The new HOA
management company is called Sentry Management and will ensure the HOA
follows through with as-needed sediment removal.
The estimated cost for the city work is approximately $10,000.00.

reserved for such storm water drainage; maintenance costs. HOA further
acknowledges the storm water pipes crossing under 10th and 11th Avenues
connecting the respective drainage tracts are included in this maintenance
responsibility and shall be cleared on an as-needed basis (but at least once a year),

Health and Human Services Commission
SUBJECT: Agreement for Health and Human Services
REQUEST
Presentation, discussion, and consideration on proposed changes to the fiscal year 2020-2021
Agreement for Health and Human Services.
BACKGROUND
The city created a Health and Human Services Commission to assist with allocating funds and
executing an agreement between non-profit agencies and the city to address health and human
service needs. Ordinance 659 adopted in November 1988 outlines the reporting requirements,
documentation, and procedures for such funds. Section 1, subsection 3, indicates all city funds
allocated or granted to any non-profit agency shall be by means of a written contract based upon
services to be provided to or work to be performed on behalf of the city and its residents.
DISCUSSION
In preparation for funding recommendations to the city council for fiscal year 2020-2021, the
commission reviewed the standard agreement and proposes the following changes:
1. Date changes for the appropriate fiscal year throughout the document.
2. Insert a detailed description of the scope of work including what the agency will provide
and what the city will require.
3. Removal of sections which indicate only service can be provided to city residents with
extensive requirements for proof of residency.
4. Adding clarification of the dates for filing reports.
5. Remove requirements for reporting from mail to e-mail submittals. While also clarifying
what will need to be submitted with the reports customized to the agency and project.
6. Clarified payment will be received upon the completion of quarterly reports
demonstrating work was completed. Funding is reimbursable and therefore no refund will
be required.
Planning & Zoning – Building & Safety – Revenue Development
300 E. Superstition Boulevard Apache Junction, AZ 85119 Ph: (480) 474-5083 Fax (480) 982-7010
7. Require representation at the Apache Junction Community Resource Center, Health and
Wellness Expo, and Project Connect events.
8. Updating the city contact person information.
9. Minor grammatical corrections.
10. Although subcontractors may not be used, the city may pay partial payment only on work
performed as outlined under Section 1.H.
Staff presented the recommendations set forth by the commission on March 16, 2020. During
this presentation a few items were identified by the council for consideration.
A question was asked about payments. The city ordinance indicates the following: “All
city funds allocated or granted under the provisions of this section shall be released in
equal quarterly installments or quarterly payments based upon a schedule of anticipated
expenses which has been approved by the Mayor and Council”. Therefore, under the
current ordinance, the executed agreement may outline under which quarters funds will
be expended. It is not a requirement for all payments to be equally dispersed through the
quarters.
Can there be a clause in the agreement which allows for site visits. The following clause
is proposed: “Service Provider agrees to allow reasonable inspections of programs and
services by a city council member, commission member, or staff during the contract
period.
The commission will be reviewing and discussion the funding requests in May with
recommendations brought forth to the city council in June. All agreements are intended to be
executed by July 1, 2020.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff respectfully recommends the city council receive a presentation, discuss the proposed
changes, and approve the agreement with any identified revisions.

Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect; provided that this
Agreement shall retroactively be deemed reformed to the extent reasonably possible
in such a manner so that the reformed agreement (and any related agreements
effective as of the same date) provide essentially the same rights and benefits
(economic and otherwise) to the Parties as if such severance and reformation were

and voting in any special, primary or general election. No board member, officer or
employee of Services Provider shall solicit any contribution in cash or services from
any Services Provider employee to support any candidate for public office. No board

lobbying, of any kind or to solicit any contribution in cash or services to support any
candidate for public office. If a board member or officer should engage in said
political candidate activities, they shall make it clear that they are doing so in their
personal and private capacity, and are not associated with Services Provider in any
way, while engaging in said activity. The functions and activities of Services Provider
are non-political with respect to candidates for political office. Therefore, all board
members, officers and employees will refrain from engaging in any partisan political
activity or any form of lobbying, of whatsoever type or nature, while attending or
participating in Services Provider function or event. This includes the circulation or
signing of nomination petitions or soliciting any contributions in cash or services
from anyone to support any candidate for public office. The above-prohibition on

for the purpose of gaining an advantage in receiving health and human services
funding.

understands and acknowledges the applicability of the American with Disabilities
Act, the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 and the Drug Free Workplace
Act of 1989 to the SOW. As required by A.R.S. § 41-4401, Services Provider hereby
warrants its compliance with all federal immigration laws and regulations that relate
to its employees and A.R.S. § 23-214(A). Services Provider further warrants that
after hiring an employee, Services Provider will verify the employment eligibility of
the employee through the E-Verify program. A breach of this warranty shall be
deemed a material breach of the Agreement that is subject to penalties up to and
including termination of this Agreement. Services Provider is subject to a penalty of
$100 per day for the first violation, $500 per day for the second violation, and $1,000
per day for the third violation. City at its option may terminate this Agreement after
the third violation. Services Provider shall not be deemed in material breach of this
Agreement if the Services Provider establish compliance with the employment
verification provisions of §§ 274A and 274B of the federal Immigration and
Nationality Act and the E-Verify requirements contained in A.R.S. § 23-214(A). City
retains the legal right to inspect the papers of any Services Provider who works
under this Agreement to ensure that the Services Provider is complying with the
warranty. Any inspection will be conducted after reasonable notice and at
reasonable times. If state law is amended, the Parties may modify this paragraph
consistent with state law.
24. TIME OF ESSENCE: Time is of the essence of this Agreement and each
provision hereof.
25. CONDITIONAL APPROVAL: The Parties understand and acknowledge this
Agreement is approved on a conditional basis pending Services Provider’s timely
filing of complete and correct reports for the 4th quarter of the previous fiscal year
(if prior year's funding was provided by City). The 4th quarter reports shall be filed
within the deadlines established by the prior agreement and must contain the
required information as set forth in the prior agreement.
26. PROHIBITION TO CONTRACT WITH SERVICES PROVIDER WHO ENGAGE IN
BOYCOTT OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL: The Parties acknowledge A.R.S.
§§ 35-393 through 35-393.03, as amended, which forbids public entities from
contracting with a contractor or organization who engage in boycotts of the State of
Israel. Should Services Provider under this Agreement engage in any such boycott
against the State of Israel, this Agreement is automatically terminated. Any such
boycott is a material breach of contract and will subject Services Provider to
monetary damages, including but not limited to, consequential and liquidated
damages.

oral. It is mutually understood and agreed that no alteration or variation of the terms
and conditions of this Agreement shall be valid unless made in writing and signed by
the parties hereto. Written and signed amendments shall automatically become part
of the supporting documents, and shall supersede any inconsistent provision
therein; provided, however, that any apparent inconsistency shall be resolved, if
possible, by construing the provisions as mutually complementary and
supplementary.
20. SEVERABILITY: City and Services Provider each believe that the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement are in compliance with all applicable
laws. However, in the unlikely event that any provision of this Agreement is declared
void or unenforceable (or is construed as requiring City to do any act in violation of
any applicable laws, including any constitutional provision, law, regulation, or city
code), such provision shall be deemed severed from this Agreement and this
Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect; provided that this
Agreement shall retroactively be deemed reformed to the extent reasonably possible
in such a manner so that the reformed agreement (and any related agreements
effective as of the same date) provide essentially the same rights and benefits
(economic and otherwise) to the Parties as if such severance and reformation were
not required. Unless prohibited by applicable laws, the Parties further shall perform
all acts and execute, acknowledge and/or deliver all amendments, instruments and
consents necessary to accomplish and to give effect to the purposes of this
Agreement, as reformed.
21. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST: This Agreement is subject to, and may be

Its employees are prohibited from engaging in any partisan political activity with
9
respect to candidates for political office beyond the private expression of personal

and voting in any special, primary or general election. No board member, officer or
employee of Services Provider shall solicit any contribution in cash or services from
any Services Provider employee to support any candidate for public office. No board
member or officer shall use the name of Services Provider, or use their affiliation
with Services Provider, to engage in any partisan political activity or form of
lobbying, of any kind or to solicit any contribution in cash or services to support any
candidate for public office. If a board member or officer should engage in said
political candidate activities, they shall make it clear that they are doing so in their
personal and private capacity, and are not associated with Services Provider in any
way, while engaging in said activity. The functions and activities of Services Provider
are non-political with respect to candidates for political office. Therefore, all board
members, officers and employees will refrain from engaging in any partisan political
activity or any form of lobbying, of whatsoever type or nature, while attending or
participating in Services Provider function or event. This includes the circulation or
signing of nomination petitions or soliciting any contributions in cash or services
from anyone to support any candidate for public office. The above-prohibition on
lobbying includes communicating with commission members and councilmembers
for the purpose of gaining an advantage in receiving health and human services
funding.
23. COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS: Services Provider
understands and acknowledges the applicability of the American with Disabilities
Act, the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 and the Drug Free Workplace
Act of 1989 to the SOW. As required by A.R.S. § 41-4401, Services Provider hereby
warrants its compliance with all federal immigration laws and regulations that relate
to its employees and A.R.S. § 23-214(A). Services Provider further warrants that
after hiring an employee, Services Provider will verify the employment eligibility of
the employee through the E-Verify program. A breach of this warranty shall be
deemed a material breach of the Agreement that is subject to penalties up to and
including termination of this Agreement. Services Provider is subject to a penalty of
$100 per day for the first violation, $500 per day for the second violation, and $1,000
per day for the third violation. City at its option may terminate this Agreement after
the third violation. Services Provider shall not be deemed in material breach of this
Agreement if the Services Provider establish compliance with the employment
verification provisions of §§ 274A and 274B of the federal Immigration and
Nationality Act and the E-Verify requirements contained in A.R.S. § 23-214(A). City
retains the legal right to inspect the papers of any Services Provider who works
under this Agreement to ensure that the Services Provider is complying with the
warranty. Any inspection will be conducted after reasonable notice and at
reasonable times. If state law is amended, the Parties may modify this paragraph
consistent with state law.
24. TIME OF ESSENCE: Time is of the essence of this Agreement and each
provision hereof.
25. CONDITIONAL APPROVAL: The Parties understand and acknowledge this
Agreement is approved on a conditional basis pending Services Provider’s timely
10
filing of complete and correct reports for the 4th quarter of the previous fiscal year
(if prior year's funding was provided by City). The 4th quarter reports shall be filed
within the deadlines established by the prior agreement and must contain the
required information as set forth in the prior agreement.
26. PROHIBITION TO CONTRACT WITH SERVICES PROVIDER WHO ENGAGE IN
BOYCOTT OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL: The Parties acknowledge A.R.S.
§§ 35-393 through 35-393.03, as amended, which forbids public entities from
contracting with a contractor or organization who engage in boycotts of the State of
Israel. Should Services Provider under this Agreement engage in any such boycott
against the State of Israel, this Agreement is automatically terminated. Any such
boycott is a material breach of contract and will subject Services Provider to
monetary damages, including but not limited to, consequential and liquidated
damages.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be signed
by their duly authorized representative as of the day and year first above written.
