SilverRock CMP Amendment
500 Acres at the NEC or Southern Avenue and Palo Verde Road
Colliers Engineering & Design Project No. 1386.02
Mr. Galica,
This letter serves to describe the request and amendments included in the document below for the
previously approved SilverRock Community Master Plan (CMP). SilverRock CMP was approved in February
of 2005 and contains 1,241 acres of land which includes the following uses: residential, commercial, public
facilities and parks. After the Great Recession of 2007, the 1,241 acres within the SilverRock CMP was sold
off to multiples of different ownership entities. In 2025, the different ownership entered into an
Acknowledge and Consent Regarding Silver Rock CMP (“Consent”) which states, among other things, “…that
an owner of real property that is subject to the Silver Rock CMP may (but shall not be required to) remove
their real property from the Silver Rock CMP, subject their real property to any other City community
master plan, and/or entitle, use and develop their property independently from or in ways that may be
inconsistent with the Silver Rock CMP;”. A copy of the Consent has been provided with the SilverRock CMP
Amendment.
As allowed in the Consent, Triple G Farms, LLC, KEMF SR North, LLC, KEMF SR East, LLC and KEMF SR West,
LLC, the current property owners of those areas of approximately 741 acres of SilverRock located north of the
RID canal (“North SR Land”), plan to incorporate their property into an expanded Westpark CMP through
separate application and approval processes known as the 2025 Westpark CMP Amendment. The
remaining 500 acres of SilverRock, those portions of land located south of the RID canal (“South SR Land”)
owned by Triple G Farms, LLC, YGK Farms LLLP, J Bar R Farms, LLLP and B Bar G Farms, LLLP, will remain
as originally approved in February 2005.
The purpose of the following document is to completely remove the North SR Land from the approved
2005 SilverRock CMP through edits to the original SilverRock CMP that revise the boundary, text, tables
and graphics which include the North SR Land, leaving only amenities and developments standards
remaining for the South SR Land within the SilverRock CMP (“SR CMPA”). The SR CMPA is furthered detailed
in the attached revised narrative tables and figures.
Additions to the text are BOLD and highlighted green and text highlighted yellow and struck through is
text being removed from the CMP. Other than the removal of the SR North Land, no revisions to the 2005
SilverRock CMP are requested with the SR CMPA. Tables and Figures have been revised to exclude those
portions north of the RID canal.

SilverRock
COMMUNITY MASTER PLAN
INTRODUCTION
SilverRock is anticipated to be one of the best master planned communities in the West Valley. A
variety of land uses will blend together to complement and enhance one another to create value for
the residents and a truly lasting community. This plan provides a way for SilverRock to become a
reality.
PHYSICAL SETTING
The SilverRock master planned community (hereinafter referred to as "SilverRock" or the "Property")
is approximately 500 acres that currently is used for agriculture. Located northwest of downtown in
the City of Buckeye (the "City"), SilverRock is defined by Palo Verde Road on the west, agricultural
land to the east, and extends approximately ¾ miles south of the RID Canal (See Exhibit A
Vicinity Map and Exhibit B Aerial Photograph). The land surrounding the Property is privately
owned, except for the Buckeye Municipal Airport, which is adjacent to the western side and owned
by the City. The land north of the RID Canal is a CMP application called Westpark. Several parcels
along the lower portion of the westerly side have been subdivided (Alder Farms). The parcels to the
south, east and west are currently used for agriculture. The Arizona State Land Department owns
parcels located between the site and Interstate 1-10 that are being planned for employment. The
Property is more accurately described in Exhibit C, Legal Description.
SilverRock will stand-alone as a balanced, planned community, and at the same time provide
continuity and compatibility with existing plans, policies and adjoining areas. Its location commands
majestic mountain views of the White Tank Mountains to the northeast and the Estrella Mountains to
the south.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The SilverRock Community Master Plan (CMP) provides a full range of housing opportunities to
accommodate consumer preference, ever-changing lifestyles and market parameters. This range
includes a variety of lot sizes and configurations, to allow for housing types that respond to a variety
of income levels, family types and lifestyles. Land uses and density for the CMP have been planned
with special consideration to SilverRock's location in the City and the surrounding land uses.
Immediately west and surrounding to the South is the General Commerce core for the City, which
is anchored by the Buckeye Municipal Airport. Therefore, residential uses include components of
housing suitable for supporting and encouraging the employment opportunities that will come. There
are 242 acres planned for standard single-family residential use, schools and parks with 895
dwelling units, which is a density of 3.7 units per acre. Another 132 acres are planned for
"employment related" and multi-family residential land uses. These land uses allow for more
creative, yet affordable housing types that are appropriate for an area that will have so many
2
employment opportunities. The housing in these areas will also provide additional product choices
for people in various life stages. The SilverRock Conceptual Land Use Plan is shown in Exhibit D,
which conceptually identifies the locations of the various residential land uses, schools, parks, public
facilities, neighborhood commercial, regional commercial and employment centers. A total of 96
acres is initially planned for Commercial uses, which represents nearly 19% of the Property and is
projected to generate more than 4,000 jobs. Of those 95 acres, a total of 20 acres are planned for
Neighborhood Commercial. Neighborhood Commercial centers are located at the intersection of
Paradise Road and Wilson Road to provide convenient access to shopping and services for
residents. The remaining 75 acres of Commercial are proposed as Regional Commercial and
Employment uses and located along Palo Verde Road. The Regional Commercial and
Employment will create an opportunity for economic vitality by establishing a diversity of uses with
emphasis on employment centers, such as business offices, office parks, research and clean
manufacturing facilities. The proximity to the Buckeye Municipal Airport will aid in promoting the
airport's growth and provide an appropriate use transition to the neighborhoods. Additionally, public
facilities will be incorporated into SilverRock such water wells, storage and distribution facilities and
wastewater treatment plant.
SilverRock will include an abundance of amenities, beginning with an open space and trails system
that runs throughout the project. The Conceptual Open Space and Trails Plan is detailed in Section
111.G. and illustrated in Exhibit E, Conceptual Open Space and Trails Plan, which includes
examples of the various types of parks. The trails and pedestrian system is envisioned to
interconnect neighborhoods with the school, parks, open space, neighborhood and employment
centers, thus providing an alternate means of traveling throughout the community. In addition to the
extensive trails system, open space for the community is planned to include a school with joint use
recreational areas, neighborhood park, and proposed Town Parks (subject to future agreement with
the Town), all strategically located so that they connect to the trails system. Initially, more than 20%
has been set-aside for Open Space, not including an assumption of the acreage for the Trail, which
will likely represent at least another 10 acres. Additionally, Pocket Parks will be located within
subdivisions and identified as the property develops, and minimum open space requirements are
included in the higher density land use categories.
SilverRock will be developed in phases, The ultimate configuration and sequence of phasing is
dependent on the construction logistics and economic and market conditions. The Master Phasing
Plan is discussed in Section 111.E. and illustrated in Exhibit F, Phasing Plan that provides the initial
phasing plan. Regardless of the sequence of development, quality control will be established and
maintained for the Property through master governance tools, including Covenants, Conditions and
Restrictions (CC&R's) that will provide for Design Guidelines, Architectural Control, and Home
Owners Associations (HOA's).
A commitment to long-term land use planning and design is essential to establishing a successful
and sustainable master planned community. It is envisioned that SilverRock with its diversity of
housing, employment, retail and business services, and recreational and cultural opportunities, will
be established as a distinct, complimentary and exceptional community to reside, work, shop and
play.

EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS
Overview
An overview of the existing conditions on the property, as well as surrounding areas, is provided in
this section. Analysis of site characteristics, including natural resources, cultural resources and other
environmental characteristics have been undertaken and are summarized herein.
Physical Features and Topography
The SilverRock site area is undeveloped, except for some dirt access roads, irrigation facilities, a
farm equipment storage yard, family homesteads and the RID Canal. The Property slopes gently to
the southwest. There are no outstanding geologic or topographic features. The Property has been
farmed and irrigated for many years.
Regional Drainage Patterns
The SilverRock site lies in the alluvial plains of the White Tank Mountains. The storm water runoff
affecting the site consists of flow from the northeast. Much of this runoff is cut off by Interstate 10 to
the north and carried out to the Hassayampa River. The remaining runoff from the north has been
diverted to the east and west around SilverRock by berms and channels built many years ago to
protect the farmland. Because of this, very little runoff is conveyed across the Property.
The Hassayampa River is a dry riverbed that occasionally carries flows from north to south into the
Gila/Salt River. The river is located a few miles west of SilverRock and does not directly impact this
project.
Hydrogeology / Groundwater
Southwest Ground-Water Consultants, Inc. has conducted a well siting investigation for a study area
that includes the SilverRock property and adjacent properties, which are the proposed Westwind
CMP area and the west portion of the Westpark CMP area. The principal aquifers are the three
geological units that have been described in the alluvial material in the area. They are the Upper
Alluvial Unit (UAU), Middle Alluvial Unit (MAU) and Lower Alluvial Unit (LAU). The underlying bedrock
is considered to be impermeable and ranges from 630 feet below land surface (ft bis) in the eastern
portion of the study area, to 1,300 ft bis in the southwestern portion of the study area. Generally, the
depth to bedrock increases with distance from the White Tank Mountains. Static groundwater levels
range from 30 ft bis to 170 ft bis. Indications are that the direction of ground-water flow is principally
to the east, south and southeast and possibly to the northeast in the northeast portion of the study
area. Groundwater levels have been relatively stable over the period of record from 1955 to 2002.
During the period from the early to mid 1970's to 2002, static water levels in the monitored wells rose
at 0.3 to 0.5 feet per year.
Preliminary estimates indicate that wells with 600 feet of well perforations in the MAU and LAU will
produce between 900 and 1,000 gallons per minute. Consideration of water quality is an important
issue when developing a groundwater supply within the study area. Detailed lithologic and
geophysical logging, and zonal sampling in the pilot borehole of new wells will provide a means of
identifying favorable water quality zones for proper well construction.
6
Soils / Geology
The Buckeye planning area is characterized by its diversity of soils with the most prevalent in the
Laveen-Coolidge Association spanning from east to west from Liberty to the Hassayampa River
(soils from old alluvium). Other soils from old alluvium are those in the Rillito-Gunsight-Pinal
Association, which are shallow to deep, well drained, moderately permeable coarse loamy to loamy-
skeletal soils formed in old mixed alluvium on fans and terraces.
The Property is located within the Basin and Range Geological Province, which is part of the Gila
Basin and overlies Quaternary and upper Tertiary (Upper Miocene-Pliocene) sedimentary rocks,
mostly unconsolidated, which, with respect to the stratigraphic profile, reach depths in excess of
1,440 feet.
No significant precious metal, metallic mineral or nonmetallic mineral deposits are known to occur in
the area.
Access / Circulation
The area is served by three primary routes, 1-10 to the north, running east-west; Palo Verde Road
on the western border of the project running north-south, and SR 85 a few miles to the east running
north-south. Palo Verde Road connects to I-10 to the north, while the Broadway Road alignment
connects to SR 85 to the east. I-10 is a four-lane divided, controlled access, interstate highway. SR
85 is planned to become a freeway in the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) regional
freeway plan. The City of Buckeye plans for Palo Verde Road to become an eight-lane parkway all
the way to Southern Avenue. The Wilson alignment, which runs through the middle of the Property,
will have a half urban interchange with I-10 in the future.
Electrical Transmission Lines
No major electrical transmission lines or easements cross the site. Any electrical line parallel to
existing roadways will be relocated or put underground at the time of construction of roadway
improvements as required by the City of Buckeye and/or Arizona Public Service (APS).
Airport / Flight Patterns
The Buckeye Municipal Airport is located to the northwest of the Property, one mile south of
Interstate 10 and immediately west of Palo Verde Road. The western boundary of SilverRock is
located approximately 0.56 miles from the runway. The runway is parallel to the SilverRock property
line (a north-south orientation). The SilverRock property is located well outside of the noise contours
and approach and departure corridors. Additionally, a non-residential land use buffer for ¼ mile east
of Palo Verde Road is being provided. Further discussion on the airport and measures to protect and
encourage the future growth of the airport are detailed in Section VIII.
Luke Air Force Base (AFB) is located 20 miles northeast of the site on the east side of the White
Tank Mountains. Luke AFB is a major tactical jet training facility for the U.S. Air Force. The Property
is located outside of the Military Airport notification zone.

LAND USE PLAN
The Conceptual Land Use Plan for SilverRock is shown in Exhibit D. The Plan conceptually identifies
the locations of various land uses in relationship with existing known constraints, as well as proposed
major roadways.
A.
LAND USE DESIGNATIONS
Land Use Categories for this CMP have been created within the framework of the PC Land Use
District. These Land Use Categories provide the Land Use Designations for the Parcels as per the
SilverRock Conceptual Land Use Plan (Exhibit D) and Land Use Budget (Exhibit G) These uses
have been defined and located to a greater level of detail to fit the character and needs of the
SilverRock CMP. Categories are defined as follows:
1.
RESIDENTIAL
The residential Land Use Categories will allow for a full range of housing opportunities through a
variety of lot sizes and configurations to accommodate site conditions, market conditions and
consumer preferences. There are five (5) residential Land Use Designations, which are described
as Standard and Employment Related. Standard Residential includes Low Density and Medium
Density categories. Employment Related includes Medium-High Density, High Density and Multi-
Family categories. The density ranges for each residential category are described in the following
Table 1 SilverRock Residential Densities and are based on dwelling units per gross acre.
TABLE 1
SILVERROCK RESIDENTIAL DENSITIES
LAND USE CATEGORY
DENSITY RANGE DU/AC
LOW DENSITY
2.0-3.3
MEDIUM DENSITY
3.4-4.8
MEDIUM-HIGH DENSITY
4.9-6.9
HIGH DENSITY
7.0-10.0
MULTI-FAMILY
10.1-35.0
Following are the development standards for the Land Use Categories. The development standards
are intended to allow for creativity and flexibility in lot and product design, while still providing
acceptable minimum requirements for what would be considered standard or typical lot and product
types. Also, the lot and product design and the application of the development standards must work
within the framework of the density ranges for the Land Use Categories. Methods of lot measurement
are depicted on Exhibit N.
11
STANDARD - The Low Density Residential and Medium Density Residential Land Use Categories
are intended for the development of primarily detached, but also attached single-family homes with
a range of lot sizes. Lot sizes and configurations may include standard, cluster, compact, alley-
loaded and semi- custom lots. Builder home types may include a variety of housing types, including
zero lot line, wide-shallow and others. The Low Density and Medium Density Categories allow for
greater housing diversity in owner-occupied, single-family neighborhoods.

COMMERCIAL
The Commercial Land Use Categories are designed to accommodate general commercial, office,
light industrial, retail, services, civic, cultural, entertainment, recreational and mixed use residential
uses. There are two Commercial Land Use Categories, which are Neighborhood Commercial and
Regional Commercial.
The Commercial Designations provide for a balanced range of land uses serving the needs of the
SilverRock Community. These uses will be strategically located throughout the community in
Neighborhood Commercial and Regional Commercial Centers with convenient access by way of the
project's road system and the extensive pedestrian path and trail system.
The Regional Commercial is intended to include employment centers, such as business offices,
office parks, colleges, research and clean manufacturing facilities. Regional Commercial will also
accommodate general commercial, light industrial, services, retail, civic, cultural entertainment,
recreational and mixed use residential uses (limited to work-live situations, such as artists' loft,
apartments, or condos above office and penthouse apartments).
The Commercial Land Uses within the SilverRock Ranch CMP serve the City of Buckeye by creating
a balance of employment to housing, compliments the airport and its future growth, provides a
transition from the more intense industrial uses to the west of SilverRock, and provide support for
the proposed density of the SilverRock CMP.
a.
Neighborhood Commercial (C-2) - This Category is intended for areas located near and
convenient to residential neighborhoods and on major traffic corridors. Neighborhood Commercial

NEO-TRADITIONAL OVERLAY DISTRICT
The SilverRock CMP will allow for up to 100 acres that will combine and overlap Residential and
Commercial Land Use Categories and Development Standards to create a Neo-Traditional District.
This District will be incorporated to blend with adjacent uses, and made to incorporate and link with
the SilverRock trails system. The location of this District will be determined by an administrative
amendment.
B.
LAND USE BUDGET
The SilverRock Conceptual Land Use Plan, Exhibit D, conceptually identifies the locations and size
of the various land use designations in the CMP. However, the determination of exact land use
locations and densities is governed by an extremely complex set of parameters. These parameters
include various natural constraints on the property, such as drainage corridors, and also include
man-made constraints, such as easements, right-of-ways and arterial street alignments. Changing
economic and market conditions also need to be taken into consideration.
The SilverRock Land Use Budget, Exhibit G, establishes the Land Use Category (zoning category)
for each parcel and is the mechanism that provides the needed "plan flexibility" to allow the CMP to
respond to these various parameters. The Land Use Budget will give the Developer the ability to
adjust and/or reallocate the designated land use locations and densities as the above parameters
become known or established. This approach will provide a basis for a more integrated, balanced
and appealing community layout.
26
1.
LAND USE DENSITY – RESIDENTIAL
A maximum of 2,187 residential dwelling units shall be permitted on the Property. SilverRock is
located at the edge of the City of Buckeye's general commerce core and adjacent to the Buckeye
Municipal Airport. Therefore, higher density land uses are provided to encourage and support the
future employment for this area. The reallocation of residential dwelling units from the conceptual
allocations as depicted in Exhibit G, the Land Use Budget, shall be allowed subject to the following
provisions:
a)
Land Use Designation Locations
The conceptual location of each residential Land Use Designation within the Property is depicted on
the SilverRock Conceptual Land Use Plan and detailed in the Land Use Budget. A Parcel's size may
increase or decrease, be divided (i.e. one-30 acre parcel into two 15-acre parcels) or it's boundary
may be adjusted.
b)
Residential Land Use Density Transfers
Target Densities are indicated on the Land Use Summary Table and in the Land Use Budget for
purposes of calculating the maximum number of allowable units for the Property. Parcels may be
developed within the density ranges as determined by their respective Land Use Category. Land
Use Designations may change up or down one Category for a Parcel (including increase from MF to
C-2). However, if the change to a Parcel's Land Use Category or acreage (as in the preceding
paragraph) result in an increase of the total acreage for a Land Use Category that is not due to a
decrease in higher Land Use Category acreage, it shall be subject to the Revision provisions in
Section I. G. As Parcels are developed, the Land Use Budget will be updated subject to
documentation as required in item (c) below.
c)
Residential Documentation of Density Transfer
Any submittal to the Planning Director which includes a request for a Density Transfer shall include:
(1) the written consent of the Developer; and (2) an updated Land Use Budget with a comparison to
the original Land Use Budget that will identify the reallocation of residential dwelling units and Parcel
acreage. At the time of final plat or development site plan approval, the Developer shall submit to
the Planning Director documentation for inclusion in the Land Use Budget indicating the final status
of density of the affected Parcels.
2.
LAND USE INTENSITY - COMMERCIAL
A total of 125.1 acres is initially planned for all Commercial Land Use Categories (zoning category)
which represents 25% of the Property. The 125.1 acres includes the WWTP that represents 29.2
acres. Without the WWTP, the Commercial Land Use is 95.9 acres.
The City’s stated economic goals The Town require that 1 to 2 jobs/household be provided within
the CMP or in a defined area outside the CMP. Therefore, the requirement for SilverRock is 2,624
jobs (2,187 units X 1.5 = 3,281). The 95.9 acres within SilverRock are projected to generate 4,177
jobs, which is 896 jobs more than required. The job projection calculation for SilverRock is based on
information initially provided with the 2004 SilverRock CMP submittal. This information came
27
from a ULI AZ Report, from March 2004, Vol. 7, No.1, "A Review of Trends Impacting U.S. Office
Recovery", E&Y. The calculation is summarized below. Additionally, SilverRock is adjacent to the
Buckeye Municipal Airport and the City's General Commerce core, which provides several thousand
additional acres of land that will generate jobs in the future.

It is anticipated that the locations and sizes of the various Regional and Neighborhood Centers may
vary depending on traffic and market conditions. The reallocation of commercial use acreage from
the conceptual allocations as detailed on the Land Use Budget shall be allowed subject to the
following provisions:
a)
Commercial Land Use Designation Locations
The planned location of each commercial Land Use Designation within the Property is depicted on
the SilverRock Conceptual Land Use Plan and detailed in the Land Use Budget. Land Use
Designations for the C-2 Category may decrease one Category (MF). Also, a Parcel's size may
increase or decrease, be divided (i.e. one 30-acre parcel into two 15-acre parcels) and it's boundary
may be adjusted. However, only land designated C-E may front Palo Verde Road.
b)
Commercial Land Use Intensity Transfers
A change in acreage or Land Use Category for a Commercial Parcel will be subject to approved
documentation as required in item c) below.
c)
Commercial Documentation of Intensity Transfers
Any submittal to the Planning Director which includes a request for an intensity transfer shall include:
(1) the written consent of the Developer; and
(2) an updated Land Use Budget with a comparison to the original Land Use Budget that will identify
the reallocation of commercial Parcel acreage or Land Use Designation change. At the time of final
plat or development site plan approval, the Developer shall submit to the Planning Director
documentation for inclusion in the Land Use Budget indicating the final status of intensity.
Ill. MASTER PLANS & REPORTS
Development of the CMP requires planning for both public and private infrastructure, as well as
planning for actual development, which such infrastructure supports. It is anticipated that
28
infrastructure planning will occur at varying times and at levels of detail, depending on the nature
and geographic scope of the planning objectives. The CMP identifies two levels of infrastructure
planning, 1) Project Master Plans and 2) Development Site Plans.
Project Master Plans in conjunction with their respective reports are required by the City as part of
the CMP approval and provide community-wide infrastructure plans for SilverRock. The Project
Master Plans & Reports are intended to identify constraints, provide overall concepts, establish
design guidelines and become the foundation for more detailed studies.
Each Development Site Plan will be required to incorporate the Master Plans and Reports to reflect
more detailed topographic data and the detailed land planning of that Site Plan. In addition each
preliminary plat or site plan will need to subject to the terms and guidelines of this CMP.
Appendices which set forth the various required Master Reports are incorporated into the CMP by
this reference as if set forth in full.
A.
MASTER DRAINAGE PLAN & REPORT
The Master Drainage Report provides a conceptual hydrologic and hydraulic analysis of the
Property's existing and proposed drainage system and sets guidelines for development of the
Property.
The design guidelines of the Master Drainage Report include the following:
1. Accept upstream· storm drainage runoff in accordance with historical conditions and the
points of discharge from the proposed WestWind CMP to the north;
2. Convey storm water runoff downstream to the historical discharge location with no increase
in peak runoff (unless easements or other rights are obtained);
3. Protect in-place and utilize natural washes or replace with other appropriate conveyance
facilities at the northeasterly corner of the property and along the east side of Palo Verde
Road for conveying onsite and offsite runoff;
4. Provide mitigation acceptable to the Army Corps of Engineers for any natural washes
designated as "Waters of the United States";
5. Provide detention/retention basins, storm water conveyance facilities and landscaped
drainage ways as necessary to assure:
a. Peak runoff leaving the Property or entering natural washes does not exceed the
predevelopment peak runoff;
b. Post development velocities within natural washes do not exceed pre- development
velocities;
c. Runoff within streets does not overtop the curb during a ten (10) year event, finish floors
are a minimum of one foot (1') above the 100-year water surface elevation and the 100-
year peak runoff must be contained within the street right-of-way.
Exhibit H, the Master Drainage Plan identifies major drainage ways and floodplains within the
Property. The Master Drainage Plan & Study for the Property is set forth in Appendix A and is
incorporated by this reference as If fully set forth herein.
29
B.
MASTER WASTEWATER SYSTEM PLAN & STUDY
The Master Wastewater Study and Plan has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of
the City of Buckeye, Maricopa County Department of Environmental Services and Arizona
Department of Environmental Quality. The Master Wastewater Plan provides general locations and
sizes of the major wastewater collection infrastructure needed to provide service for the Property
and the surrounding service area. The infrastructure includes the design of a phased wastewater
treatment facility, major sewer collection lines, and effluent pumping stations and force mains
necessary to convey the effluent to lakes for reuse and to facilities for recharge or other
storage/discharge facilities. This Plan has been developed as a coordinated effort with the proposed
Westwind CMP.
The wastewater treatment facility for SilverRock will be located at the southwest corner of the
Property, as depicted on the Conceptual Land Use Plan. The sizing and conceptual locations for the
major wastewater collection lines is shown on Exhibit I. The actual on-site phasing of development
and coordination with adjacent property will dictate the timing and location of wastewater line
construction.
The treatment plant will be designed to produce A+ effluent; suitable for irrigation of landscaped
areas and where full body contact with the effluent is possible, in conformance with City, State and
Maricopa County reuse regulations. The Developer shall have the right to develop a non-potable
water system that utilizes treated effluent and other non-potable water sources to serve various
needs of the Property, including supplying water for lakes and landscape irrigation. The Developer
shall have the first right of refusal for reuse of effluent; however, the City of Buckeye shall retain
ownership of the effluent and reuse will be subject to the City's approval pursuant to an approved
reuse master plan. The actual on-site phasing of development will dictate the timing and location of
non-potable water lines and improvements.
The Master Wastewater System Study and Plan is set forth in Appendix B and is incorporated by
reference as if fully set forth herein. In the event that an alternative or interim wastewater disposal
or treatment solution for the Property becomes available, such alternative or interim solution shall be
allowed subject to approval by the City Manager.
C.
MASTER POTABLE WATER SYSTEM PLAN AND STUDY
SilverRock is located wholly within the City of Buckeye water service area and a single Water
Master Plan was provided for review. in two contiguous water districts. The property East of Wilson
Road is in the City of Buckeye service area and the property west of Wilson Road is in the Water
Utility of Greater Buckeye, Inc. service area. Therefore, two Water Master Plans are provided that
address the portions of the property in each respective district. The portion of the project located
within the Water Utility of Greater Buckeye service area comprises 366 acres. The proposed
residential development consists of 231 acres with approximately 1,470 units. It will also have one
school site with approximately 800 students, a neighborhood park, several pocket parks, and
approximately 120 acres of Retail Commercial and Commercial-Employment development. The
portion of SilverRock located within the City of Buckeye water service area totals 499-acres and is
comprised of single- family residential development consisting of approximately 717 residential lots
and one commercial parcel.
30
The Master Potable Water Plan and Study meets the City's requirements and provides general
locations and sizes of the major water infrastructure needed to provide potable water service to the
Property. This infrastructure includes the development of domestic wells, water transmission and
distribution lines, booster- pumping stations, pressure reducing valves and water storage tanks. As
with sewer, this is a coordinated effort with the proposed Westwind CMP and additionally the
approved WestPark CMP.
SilverRock is participating in hydrogeology studies to document the primary water sources for the
proposed service area that encompasses SilverRock and the surrounding properties. The primary
source is projected to be the groundwater supply that must be accessed through drilling and
improving water wells. Previous conceptual studies have addressed and documented the
underground water source quantity and quality. The current study prepared by Southwest Ground-
water Consultants concluded that the ground water within the area of the proposed development of
SilverRock is of good quality and is sufficient in volume to support a much greater population than
originally projected in that entire region. The current hydrogeology study will quantify the
underground water source and establish the locations of the well sites.
The sizing and conceptual locations for the major water transmission lines, booster pump stations,
pressure reducing valves and water storage tanks for both water districts, are shown in Exhibit J,
the Master potable Water Plan. Actual on-site phasing will dictate the timing of well, water storage
tank, water transmission lines, and booster pump station construction.
The Master Potable Water Study and Plan for the City of Buckeye is set forth in Appendix C and
for the Water Utility of Greater Buckeye, Inc. in Appendix D and both are incorporated by this
reference as if fully set forth herein.
D.
MASTER STREET & CIRCULATION PLAN & TRAFFIC REPORT
The Master Street and Circulation Plan for the Property is depicted in Exhibit K. Roadway standards
applicable to the Property, including roadway classifications for major and minor arterials, collectors,
local streets and others are also set forth in Exhibit K. The phased development of the internal street
network will be based on traffic volumes on arterial and collector streets within the Property and shall
be in accordance with the traffic analysis prepared by Louis Lagomarsino, dated January 24, 2004
(addendum dated May 10, 2004) set forth in Appendix E and incorporated by this reference as if
fully set forth herein (the "Traffic Analysis"). The Traffic Analysis was approved prior to Land Use
Adjustments to this CMP, which increased the Commercial acreage along Palo Verde. Since Final
Traffic reports will be submitted concurrently with development of phases of the property, the City
Engineer determined that no further update is required until Final Traffic reports are provided.
31
E.
MASTER PHASING PLAN
The development planned for the Property, including the infrastructure, public facilities and other
community amenities is intended by Developer to be carried out in phases over a number of years.
Development of the Property is contemplated to progress in phases, that may or may not develop
concurrently, and/or in phases that may not be contiguous. It is anticipated that the property will be
divided into Phasing units of between 40 to 320 acres each. The boundaries of each phase and the
sequence for development of the infrastructure and amenities shall be identified at the preliminary
plat stage. The initial contemplation of phasing for the property is depicted in Exhibit F.
F.
MASTER PUBLIC FACILITIES PLAN
1. POLICE, FIRE AND EMERGENCY SERVICES
A fire station will be needed in the vicinity of SilverRock. The station location will be a
coordinated effort between the City, the developer, and adjacent landowners to
ensure the most efficient placement of a permanent fire station. It is anticipated that
this station will allow for police utilization as well, if necessary. The final location will
be determined at the time of more detailed planning and in coordination with neighboring
properties.
A temporary station may be provided initially. At the time 1,500 housing permits are
pulled in the area, construction would begin on a permanent station and by 2,000 housing
permits the permanent facility will need to be complete.
G.
CONCEPTUAL OPEN SPACE AND TRAILS PLAN
The foundation of the SilverRock Community is the site's abundant trails and open spaces.
SilverRock will take advantage of the site's open space features, drainage ways, and the RID Canal
as a cornerstone of the land plan, to create community connections and to define edges of
neighborhoods.
This open space, trail and path system will, in turn, connect neighborhoods, schools, employment
centers, parks, open space and shopping and employment centers. In this manner, the conceptual
open space and trails plan provides an important part of the overall circulation system and provides
alternative transportation opportunities for the community.
The goals of the Conceptual Open Space and Trails Plan include:
•
Providing community character
•
Providing community connectivity
•
Providing recreational opportunities
•
Providing continuous open space
•
Enhancing the community's quality of life
•
Increasing property value
•
Providing alternative transportation opportunities
32
In addition to the extensive trails system planned for the community, open space will include City
and neighborhood parks, a school, all strategically located so they connect to the trails system. The
various components of the Open Space and Trails System are identified described below.
The open space provided in this section represents a minimum of 20% open space. This does not
include any assumption of acreage for Pocket Parks, which will be identified as the property develops
or for the Trail System acreage. The Standard Residential component of this project is approximately
242 acres and 895 units, which produces a density of 3.7 units per acre. The 82 acres of Open Space
represents 12.9% for Standard Residential. For purposes of comparison, the City of Buckeye
Development Code requires 10% open space to qualify for a density of 3.5 units per acre. The
Standard Residential component provided at SilverRock exceeds what would be required if the
City's Development Code applied. Standard Residential is used in this comparison because the
types of product in the Standard Residential Categories are comparable to what would be allowed
within the City's Development Code.
1.
TRAILS SYSTEM
The Conceptual Trails System consists of three types - Pathways, Arterial/Collector and Interior
sidewalks. The Pathways and Sidewalks will utilize open space corridors as well as tie into the
community street system. The Conceptual Open Space and Trails Plan, including an example cross-
section for an open space Trail, is set forth in Exhibit E. Also, the Master Street and Circulation Plan
in Exhibit K includes Pathway and Sidewalk cross sections in relation to streets and Exhibit L includes
example landscape renderings.
a) Pathways
Pathways may be aligned along major roadways, drainage ways, the RID Canal, and open space
areas and may also meander within open space areas. Pathways will connect neighborhoods to
neighborhoods and neighborhoods to the school, parks and commercial centers. Pathway
surface may include, but not be limited to, stabilized decomposed granite, concrete and/or
asphalt. The pathway system may include:
1) Multi-use pathways, a minimum of 6'-8' wide, and used for biking, walking, jogging,
running, etc.
2) Bike paths, a minimum of 4'-6', and used for bicycling.
3) Pedestrian pathways, a minimum of 4'-7' wide, and used for walking, jogging, running,
etc.
b) Collector/Arterial Sidewalks
Along collector and arterial roads, minimum of 6' wide concrete sidewalks will be located on both
sides of the road, except where multi-use pathways replace sidewalk, then the sidewalk will be
located on the opposite side of the street. Sidewalks and pathways will be separated from the
back of curb with a minimum of 3' landscape area. These sidewalks and pathways will meander
and will be located immediately adjacent to the curb at ramp locations.
33
c) Interior Sidewalks
Within neighborhoods and along secondary roadways, minimum of 4' wide concrete sidewalks
may be located immediately adjacent to the rolled (or vertical) curb or meander within the right-
of-way or sidewalk easement. Interior sidewalks will be located on both sides of the road and
may be separated with a minimum of 3' landscape area from the back of curb in those locations
where sidewalk meanders.
2.
PARKS
SilverRock's park and open space system will contribute to the creation of a strong sense of
community. Parks within the open space system will be designed to meet a variety of active and
passive recreational needs. Each park will be programmed individually in terms of size, amenities,
landscaping and incorporation of retention basins. Conceptual locations of parks are shown on the
Open Space and Trails System Plan, Exhibit E. A hierarchy of parks is planned which includes two
City Parks, two Joint Use Neighborhood Parks, five Neighborhood parks and additional Pocket
Parks. Parks provided include three neighborhood parks and additional pocket parks.
a) Town Parks
Two Town Parks are planned for SilverRock, but at the time of approval for this CMP, no
agreement has been reached with the Town to accept ownership of these Parks. However, the
Town is conducting a Park Master Plan study and it is anticipated that an agreement may be
reached in the future. Therefore, the Land Use Plan incorporates these Parks. Land Use
Categories have been assigned to these areas, but no units were applied in calculating density
for this project. This will allow for flexibility to make changes, if necessary, in the future without
impacting the residential density of the project.
A regional park, approximately 30 acres in size, will be the signature park for the project. The focal
point of this park is a proposed lake and potentially a water park. The water park will incorporate
swimming pools, slides, and various water play structures. This park is also anticipated to include
amenities such as softball fields, soccer, football, tennis and basketball courts, and a community
center. This signature park will be operated and maintained by the Town of Buckeye for the benefit
of all Town residents.
A second Town Park is planned adjacent to one of the school sites. A total of 25 acres has been set
aside for the park and school. Approximately 7 to 8 acres will be utilized for school educational
facilities and owned by the school district. Another 7 or 8 acres will be joint use facilities that will
provide recreation and sports programs for the school and also incorporated with approximately 11
additional park acres. The Town will own the joint use and park acres and an intergovernmental
agreement is planned to be entered for the school to maintain the joint use facilities. The joint use
and park is anticipated to include amenities such as tot lots and open play areas, softball, soccer,
and football fields, and tennis and basketball courts.
b) Joint Use Neighborhood Parks
There is one joint use park planned in coordination with the school site. Approximately 15.6
acres are planned for the school and joint use park area. Approximately 7 to 8 acres will be
utilized for school educational facilities and owned by the school district. Another 7 to 8 acres will
34
be joint use facilities that will provide recreation and sports programs for the school as well as be
an amenity for the community. The homeowners association will own the joint use area and an
agreement will be reached with the school district on use and maintenance of the facilities. The
joint use area will include amenities such as tot lots and open play areas, softball, soccer, and
football fields, and tennis and basketball courts.
c) Neighborhood Parks
There are 3 neighborhood parks planned, a minimum of 2 acres in size that will provide local
recreational opportunities and amenities such as ramadas, picnic areas, play equipment, tot lots,
open play areas, and volleyball and basketball courts. The homeowners association will own and
maintain these parks. These parks are strategically located throughout the community in close
proximity to portions of the SilverRock CMP not directly served by the aforementioned parks.
d) Pocket Parks
In addition to the parks that have been conceptually identified, pocket parks will be located
throughout SilverRock. These parks may include open play areas, tot lots, picnic areas and
ramadas. These parks will be identified at preliminary site plan and preliminary plat stages of
planning. As with the Neighborhood Parks, the homeowners association will own and maintain
these parks for the benefit of SilverRock residents.
3.
SCHOOLS
The Property is within the boundaries of the Palo Verde Elementary School District and the Buckeye
Union High School District. One Elementary School site has been planned for the property based on
the anticipated land uses and residential densities. The Developer has entered into agreements with
the school districts to assist in providing educational facilities for the future residents of SilverRock.
Land will be provided for the Elementary School and assistance contributions will be made to the
High School District.
The school site is approximately 15.6 acres in size. As discussed in the Parks section above,
approximately 7 to 8 acres for each site will be utilized for educational facilities and owned by the
school district. The remaining 7 to 8 acres will provide joint use recreational facilities. The agreement
with the Palo Verde Elementary School District is for SilverRock to provide up to three school sites
and Westwind to provide two sites. Currently, four full sites are provided between SilverRock and
Westwind projects. If necessary, an additional school site will be provided. The school site carries
an underlying zoning of MDR in the event that the school site is never acquired or built by the school
district and for land appraisal purposes. The planned school site location has been identified on
the Land Use Plan in Exhibit D and on the Conceptual Open Space and Trails Plan in Exhibit E that
illustrate how the school will be integrated with the parks, open space, trails and street circulation
system.
35
H.
MASTER WALL, MONUMENT AND SIGN PLAN
1.
WALLS
There are five (5) types of theme walls that will provide a consistent look and theme for the SilverRock
community. The wall details are depicted in Exhibit M. They include a standard theme wall, three
types of view walls and an open view or screen wall.
The standard theme wall will be required as the perimeter wall for residential uses where adjacent
to Arterial or Collector streets. Additionally, the standard theme wall may be utilized adjacent to open
space areas.
Three types of view walls are provided. The 2' view and 4' view walls are intended to be the primary
wall used adjacent to SilverRock open space and trail areas. These options are provided in addition
to the standard them wall for open space and trail areas where varying levels of privacy are required,
but to allow residents to enjoy the benefits of the views provided by the open space areas. The open
view wall elevation is intended to limit access to certain areas but where appropriate to allow full
view. An example of this might be where a cul-de- sac is adjacent to a Collector or Arterial street.
The open view wall will limit access, while still providing an open feel for the community.
Finally, an open view or screen wall is provided. This wall is intended primarily for commercial uses
where a low wall is appropriate. This will allow for the SilverRock wall theme to be carried throughout
all land uses for the property.
2.

development with minimum detrimental effect. No system shall be approved if the effect
may cause an increase in the peak discharge or velocity of runoff or change the point of
entry of drainage onto adjacent properties during the runoff event.
b) The rainfall event based upon the one hundred (100) year storm frequency, generating
the peak discharge of the area contributing runoff to the development, shall be used in
designing the overall drainage system.
c) Detention/Retention of Storm Drainage
•
The detention/retention system shall be designed to retain the increase in runoff
volume due to development and reduce the post-development peak discharge to less
than or equal to the pre-development peak discharge.
•
On-site detention/retention facilities may include natural depressions or man-made
basins. Dry wells are permitted.
•
Individual lot detention/retention shall not be permitted on residential lots with a lot
size less than one (1) acre, except in conjunction with the commercially-owned

adjacent top of curb or lot outfall elevation, or twelve (12) inches above the computed one
hundred (100) year water surface elevation, whichever is greater. A finished floor elevation
may be other than the minimum permitted provided it is determined by technical data
certified by a registered professional engineer who is licensed to practice in the State of
Arizona to be the minimum necessary to be safe from inundation by the one hundred
(100) year peak discharge flow. Finished floor elevation shall be referenced at a known
benchmark.
49
f) Drainage Easements
Drainage easements or tracts may be required. The width of the drainage easements or tracts
shall be defined by the water surface during the 100-year storm event, and may include

VII.
PROJECT GOVERNANCE
The purpose of the project governance structure is to insure that there is a workable, complete and
enforceable instrument in place, which implements the concept of distinction for SilverRock. The
governance structure must work under the period of direction by the Developer and after the
Developer passes the authority to property owners within SilverRock.
SilverRock will use a variety of tools and elements to assure the community is an asset to the City
of Buckeye and to the residents that will live, work and play in the Master Planned Community. The
City of Buckeye has established rules, guidelines and policies that control the use of the property.
The Community Master Plan for SilverRock sets the framework for the implementation of these
regulations and additional guidelines. The governance tools, such as design guidelines,
architectural control, covenants, conditions and restrictions and homeowners' associations, will
provide a means to establish an enforceable structure as the project develops over the next
decade and beyond.
A.
DESIGN GUIDELINES
The goal of the Design Guidelines is to create and maintain a livable, attractive, high quality
development and continue to add to the "friendly town" characteristics of Buckeye and the
surroundings area.
The Design Guidelines address standards of development by the developer relating to
improvements and product standards. The Design Guidelines expand on the Covenants,
Conditions and Restrictions that will dictate minimum standards of development and long-term
maintenance of improvements and formation of a homeowners association that will ensure their
enforcement.
B. COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS AND ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW
COMMITTEE
SilverRock Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions will set forth rules and regulations governing
homeowner's rights and requirements. These will include prohibition of the storage of non-
operating vehicles in the front yards, screening trash receptacles, etc., (see Exhibit 0, Conceptual
Outline of CC&Rs).
C.
ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL
An Architectural Control Committee will be established by the Developer to oversee compliance
with the Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions and Design Guidelines during the development
stage. The Committee will review and approve building plans, specifications, and design for all
private and public improvements and sub- area developments contemplated within SilverRock. As
the community grows, owners will take over the Architectural Review functions.
D.
HOMEOWNERS' ASSOCIATION
A SilverRock Homeowners' Association will be organized to ensure long-term compliance with the
Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions. The Homeowners' Association will assess monthly fees
for the maintenance of landscaped common areas, natural washes, parks and other community
facilities. A few of the open spaces located within gated neighborhoods might be owned and
61
maintained by a sub-association of the particular neighborhood. This would mean that the
particular sub-association would maintain the private streets as an additional function. An example
might be age-restricted community with special amenities for use by the sub-association members
only.
E.
DEVELOPMENT AND BUILDING GUIDELINES
Varied architecture, reflecting differing styles and materials, will be utilized to enhance the visual
interest of the homes and commercial buildings. For the residential areas, a minimum of colors of
roof materials, garage doors and exterior paint colors will be utilized to further promote variety.
Differing building details, form, massing, materials, proportion, and siting shall be used to promote
attractive and appealing architecture. The Master Developer and the Architectural Control
Committee will encourage special attention to design elements such as garages, porches, exterior
materials, model variations, walls and fences. This will assure a variety of house types that will fit
the needs of the community and, at the same time, promote architectural diversity.
62
VIII.
Buckeye Municipal Airport
SilverRock is located east of the Buckeye Municipal Airport. This creates some special
opportunities for the future. It also requires some consideration in planning and disclosures to
ensure the long-term growth and viability for the Airport.
In the land planning for SilverRock, special consideration has been given to its proximity to the
airport. First and foremost, a non-residential buffer of ¼ mile east of Palo Verde Road has been
provided. This buffer was determined through study and discussion. Exhibit P includes a memo
from Coffman & Associates with a recommendation to the City and an exhibit depicting future
traffic patterns. This area is planned to include commercial and employment uses that will not only
buffer residents from the airport, it will provide an opportunity for economic development that can
be mutually beneficial for the Airport and SilverRock.
In addition to planning considerations, disclosure of the Airport and its operational characteristics is
important to assure the City of Buckeye and the future development of SilverRock will be
compatible with the future of the Buckeye Municipal Airport. Therefore, a multi-level notification
system will provide disclosures to future residents of SilverRock. This plan includes the following
elements:
•
Recordation of an avigation easement in favor of the Airport over the entire
property prior to any sales to homebuilders (see sample easement in Exhibit P).
•
Homebuilders will be required to post a large aerial photograph (24"x36") in all
model home complexes showing the Airport and its relationship to SilverRock
with designated noise contour lines and flight paths.
•
A stand-alone handout to be given to and signed by each perspective home or lot
buyer at the point of the initial purchase contract (written with the Airport's
direction and approval).
•
A specific and detailed inclusion in the Department of Real Estate Public Report
of the operational characteristics of the Airport (i.e., noise and over flights), which
would also be written with the direction and approval of the Airport.
The developers of SilverRock recognize the potential for the Buckeye Municipal Airport and desire
to be a good neighbor. The combination of planning and disclosure provided will allow for the
Buckeye Municipal Airport to realize its full potential.
63
