Parks and Recreation Director Liz Langenbach presented the changes to Ordinance No. 1539.
During the city council meeting of February 3, 2023 staff shared recommendations to amend
parts of the Park and Recreation city code and was directed to have the Parks and Recreation
Commission bring back final recommendations. This has taken place and at this time staff and
the Parks and Recreation Commission are recommending the following amendment:
The city no longer manages banners in the medians and has moved to an electronic marquee
sign. Staff recommends removing this section from the code. The other issues was related to
the Tree City USA designation, and in order to fulfill a requirement for Tree City USA designation,
the department must be given specific responsibility to manage the trees and landscaping in
public spaces. Staff recommended adding a section to Article 3-13 to allow for this.
Councilmembers inquired if banners could still be used. Ms. Langenbach stated, this does not
have anything to do with businesses putting up signage or using banner/flag style signs, the city
has a sign code policy for this, it only deals with removing Parks and Recreation from managing
banners in the medians.
Mayor Wilson opened the public hearing.
Donna Carr, 2178 W. Virginia St, Apache Junction, expressed concerns about the Parks and
Recreation department being in charge of taking care of the city's trees and why not contract
with a small business to do this.

Subject: January 16, 2024, City Council Old Business Item:
Urban Night Sky Place ("UNSP") Status Update
Background
In September 2022, Staff made the decision to pursue an Urban Night
Sky Place designation for the City Hall Campus . The campus includes
City Hall, the Library, Multi-General Center (& associated parks) ,
and the Police Department.
Staff submitted an Urban Night Sky Place application to Dark Sky for
review in May 2023 and received feedback from Dark Sky in June 2023 .
We were informed that at least 670 of outdoor, onsite lighting must
be retrofitted before an application is considered complete. With
that knowledge, Staff have worked with TRANE Technologies (vendor)
over the past few months to obtain a budget for retrofitting all
outdoor, City Hall Campus lighting.
Current Status
We received a budget from TRANE in October 2023 for an approximate
project total of $260, 000 . Once we received this budget, Staff
began looking into grant funding for the project.
Two (2) primary grants were identified for the project. The first
is the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) ,
which can be used to fund general energy efficiency projects . The
second is the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant
(EECBG) Program = Arizona Department of Housing (ADOH) : Community
Development Block Grant - Regional Account (CDBG-RA) , which can be
used to fund projects at locations designed for public use.
Due to the timing, use and money allocated by each grant, Staff has
decided to split the project into two (2) phases . The locations,
budget, and timing of each phase is outlined below:
Dark Sky - Urban Night Sky Place Application
City Council - January 16, 2024
Phase 1 :
• Location: City Hall and Police Department
• Estimated Cost: $102, 114 . 07
• Items Included: All outdoor lighting including the parking
lots, walkways, sconces, etc. , as well as controls for the PD
walkway, sconce lights etc.
• Funding Source - U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) :
• Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG)
Program = $76, 310
0 Liz Langenbach, Parks & Recreation Director, is looking
into other sources to make up the difference .
• We anticipate EECBG funding to be available in Spring 2024 .
• Anticipated Completion of Phase 1 : Spring 2024
• TRANE to assist with submitting SRP rebates .
Phase 2:
• Location: Library, MGC and Park
• Estimated Cost: TBD
• Funding Source - U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) : Energy
Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program
Arizona Department of Housing (ADOH) : Community Development
Block Grant - Regional Account (CDBG-RA)
approximately $130, 000
• We anticipate funding being available in Fall 2024 .
• Anticipated Completion of Phase 2 : Spring 2025
• TRANE to assist with submitting SRP rebates .
While these updates will allow City Hall Campus to achieve Urban
Night Sky Place status, it will also increase energy efficiency
onsite and provide essential updates for the maintenance department
to better control campus lighting.

MEMORANDUM TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
THROUGH: BRYANT POWELL, CITY MANAGER
FROM: JENNIFER PENA, CITY CLERK
SUBJECT: Intergovernmental Agreement for provisions of services with
Pinal County Elections and Recorders Office for elections and
voter registration services
We have received the Election Services Intergovernmental Agreement from Pinal County
for the primary election on August 6, 2024, and the general if needed, on November 5,
2024. We are required to have the approved intergovernmental agreement with the county
no later than 120 days before the election so that we both meet all of our legal
requirements.
The city's election cycle is concurrent with the state's consolidated election cycle which
provides a decrease in the cost of election services from the previous spring election
cycle which the city last conducted in 2016. Currently, Pinal County set its fee at$.75 per
voter.
In 2022 the City of Apache Junction had approximately 25,181 registered voters and most
recently the city has over 26,000 registered voters.
Cost is based on the number of registered voters and per election.
These amounts reflect only Pinal County election charges. They do not include election-
related charges for translation services, legal advertisements, mailing or charges from
Maricopa County.

Date: January 16, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Through: Bryant Powell, City Manager
Rudy Esquivias, Development Services Director
Sidney Urias, Planning Manager
From: Nick Leftwich, Planner
Subject: Report regarding the Dec. 5, 2023 direction to staff
regarding the Apache Junction City Code, Volume II,
Zoning Ordinance § 1-16-12 (D) , relating to Apache
Junction Planning and Zoning Commission' s approval
authority for conditional use permits
Background
On December 5, 2023, the City Council held a discussion
regarding the regulations of the Apache Junction City Code,
Volume II, Zoning Ordinance § 1-16-12 Conditional Use Permits,
Administrative Use Permits and Building Permits (D) Conditional
Use Permits, in which the Council issued a direction to staff to
look into the ordinance language and return at a future meeting
with potential text amendment options that address the Council' s
concerns regarding the authority on land use decisions given to
the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Planning Staff has reviewed the matter and provides the
following options, and seeks further direction to staff to
initiate a Zoning Ordinance text amendment:
-Option 1 : A proposed amendment of Article 1-5 : Zoning Bulk and
Use Regulations land use tables which currently determine which
uses are permitted by right in each zoning district and which
uses require Conditional Use Permit (CUP) approval . This
amendment would modify the existing land use tables to change
what kinds of uses are approvable by CUP and Planning and Zoning
Commission oversight, so that more impactful, sensitive land use
changes are subject to City Council approval .
-Option 2: A proposed amendment of the Article 1-16 :
Administration, § 1-16-12 Conditional Use Permits,
Administrative Use Permits and Building Permits, (D) Conditional

January 16,2024 City Council Staff Memo
City ofApache Junction
Development Services Department
Use Permits regulations that would require City Council approval
for CUPS .
Staff respectfully recommends Option 1, as we believe there are
uses within the Article 1-5 : Zoning Bulk and Use Regulations land
use tables that do not fit the standard criteria of conditional
uses, such as multi-family residential development in commercial
zoning districts, and by modifying the table these uses can be
aligned to different zoning designations so that, for example, if
a commercial property were to be considered for multi-family
residential development it would need to receive rezoning approval
through the city council . This approach also maintains the standard
usage of CUPS for lesser items like minor landscaping or sign code
deviations, without requiring all CUPS to go through additional
public hearings at with the City Council .

(A) Authorization and applicability. It shall be unlawful to erect, construct, reconstruct, alter or change the structure, land
and/or use of any property within the city without first obtaining the required building permit, administrative use permit, and/or

such use and/or structure in the Zoning Code. Uses and/or structures requiring approval of an AUP, along with permit
approval criteria, are identified in Tables 5-1 and 5-3 (see Vol. ||. §§ 1-5'1 and 1-5'3).
(D) Conditional use permits. Conditional uses are those uses that are generally compatible with the land uses permitted

("CUP")approval of their location, design, operation and configuration along with the imposition of conditions in order to
ensure the appropriateness of the use at a particular location. Uses requiring a CUP are identified in Tables 5-1 and 5-3
(see Vol. ||. §§ 1'5-1 and1-5-3). The CUP application and process requirements are aofollows:

(3) Findings.A CUP may be granted upon a finding by the Commission that the use covered by the permit,the manner
of its conduct, and any structure involved will not be detrimental to persons residing or working in the area, to adjacent
property, to the neighborhood, or to the public welfare in general. The burden of proof for satisfying the aforementioned
requirements shall rest with the applicant. In arriving at the above determination, the Commission shall consider but not be
limited to the following factors:
(a) Adequacy of roadways, off-street parking, public facilities and services to accommodate the proposed use;

approval date or within the time stipulated by the Commission.
(6) Revocation. An approved CUP may be revoked by the Commission following public hearing and a finding that there
has been material noncompliance with any condition prescribed in the permit and/or the use generates a demonstrated
public safety, health or welfare concern.
(7) Appeal and City Council review.The approval or denial of a CUP by the Commission shall be final unless,within 20
calendar days from the date of the Commission's decision, the applicant or any persons aggrieved by the decision appeals
