8. WHITE TANK FOOTHILLS PHASE 3 (CONT. FROM 6/8/22) Case #: DMP2021001 Supervisor District: 4 Applicant & Owner: Brennan Ray, Burch & Cracchiolo, P.A. / Citrus & Lower Buckeye, LLC Request: Major Amendment to the White Tank Foothills Development Master Plan (DMP) to change the land use designations from Small Lot Residential (2 – 5 du/ac) and Rur al (0-1 du/ac) to Small Lot Residential (5 – 8 du/ac) and Transitional Lot (3 - 5 du/ac) Site Location: Generally located at the NWC of Citrus Rd. and Northern Ave. in the Glendale area Commission Recommendation: On 8/4/22, the Commission voted 9-0, to recommend approval of DMP2021001 subject to conditions ‘a’ – ‘c’: a. Development shall be in substantial conformance with the Development Master Plan Narrative Report entitled “White Tank Foothills”, dated May 10, 2022, and stamped received May 16, 2022, including all exhibits, maps, and appendices, except as modified by the following conditions. b. Changes regarding use and intensity, or changes to any of the approved conditions shall be processed as a revised application with approval by the Board of Supervisors upon recommendation by the Maricopa County Planning and Zoning Commission. Revised applications shall be in accordance with the applicable Development Master Plan Guidelines, sub division regulations, and zoning ordinance in effect at the time of application(s) submission. The Maricopa County Planning and Development Department may approve minor changes as outlined in the Maricopa County Development Master Plan Guidelines in effect at the time of amendment. Non-compliance with the narrative report, maps, and exhibits, or the conditions of approval will be treated as a violation in accordance with Maricopa County Procedures. c. The Development Master Plan shall be developed sequent ially as depicted on the phasing diagram contained in the narrative report. Additional Comments: The applicant is requesting to amend the DMP and rezone for an increased lot yield in Phase 3. The previously approved DMP allowed for a maximum of 390 units in Phase 3, or 1.59 du/ac. The amendment, as now modified, will increase the lot yield to 645 units on 244.74 gross acres at 2.647 du/ac. The subject site is the third and final phase of the White Tank Foothills Development. To date staff has received 142 letters of opposition, an opposition petition with 206 signatures and six support letters. During the August 4, 2022, Commission Hearing four individuals spoke in opposition. The opposition is largely concerned with loss of community character due to i ncreased density, and associated access concerns with increased traffic. The applicant has also discovered an error in the total amount of dwelling units for the entire White Tank Foothills community once Phase 3 is approved. The amount listed in the Com mission Staff Report was 1,621 dwelling units; however, the true number will be 1,636 dwelling units once Phase 3 is complete. The reason for this discrepancy was due to a miscount of the total units in Phase 2 of White Tank Foothills, where 15 lots were not included in the overall community total. It's important to note this typographical error in the applicant’s material was in regard to the existing unit count of Phase 2 and not the subject amendment concerned with proposed Phase 3. Since the August 4, 2022, Commission Hearing, the applicant has prepared a DMP / land use plan exhibit that appropriately illustrates the Phase 3 Amendment superimposed upon the existing approved DMP where Phases 1 & 2 are already platted. Staff is recommending DMP2021001, c ondition ‘a’ be updated to reflect this exhibit to include the following change: a. Development shall be in substantial conformance with the Development Master Plan Narrative Report entitled “White Tank Foothills”, dated May 10, 2022, and stamped receive d May 16, 2022, including all exhibits, maps, and appendices, except as modified by the following conditions. Within 30 days of Board approval the narrative shall be revised to incorporate the land use plan exhibit entitled “White Tank Foothills Proposed P hase 3 Exhibit” stamped received September 9, 2022. Therefore, with regard to DMP2021001, staff recommend the Board motion for approval subject to Commission recommended conditions ‘a’ – ‘c’ but with revised language to condition ‘a’ as shown below: a. Development shall be in substantial conformance with the Development Master Plan Narrative Report entitled “White Tank Foothills”, dated May 10, 2022, and stamped received May 16, 2022, including all exhibits, maps, and appendices, except as modified by th e following conditions.

The Maricopa County Planning and Development Department may approve minor changes as outlined in the Maricopa County Development Master Plan Guidelines in effect at the time of amendment. Non-compliance with the narrative report, maps, and exhibits, or the conditions of approval will be treated as a violation in accordance with Maricopa County Procedures. c.
