Report to the Board of Supervisors Prepared by the Maricopa County Planning and Development Department Board Hearing Date: October 10, 2018 Case #/Title: Z2018051 – White Tank Vistas Supervisor District: 4 Applicant/Owner: David Bohn, Westwood Professional Services / Verma MD2 Sonoran Ridge Estates 195/Northern Request: Zone Change from Rural-43 RUPD to R1-6 RUPD Site Location: Generally located 2,900’ west from the corner of Perryville Rd. and Northern Ave. in the Waddell area Site Size: Approximately 109 acres County Island Status: N/A Additional Comments: There are no outstanding concerns from reviewing agencies. Staff received a total of 48 documents of opposition (attached) to the zone change request. It should be noted that most of these were received at or after the Commission hearing. There were several individuals in opposition that attended and spoke at the Commission hearing where many of these people are owners of properties within the Sonoran Ridge Estates Unit 4 subdivision north of the subject site. The opposition states issues with traffic, increased density, drainage issues, street lighting impacting the desert environment, among others. The opposition/support map is provided as an attachment to this report. The map shows 9.26% parcel area and 18.75% parcels by number within the 300’ area are opposed to the request. This does not trigger a super majority vote. It’s important to note that the western boundary of Sonoran Ridge is adjacent to the Jackrabbit Trail alignment and Arizona State Land Department (ASLD) land. ASLD land will eventually be disposed to private property for development. It’s 1 plus miles further west to the preservation land of the White Tank Regional Mountain Park. October 10, 2018 Z2018051 Page 1 of 3 Commission Recommendation: On 9/6/18, the Commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval of Z2018051 subject to conditions ‘a’ – ‘e’: a. Development and use of the site shall comply with the Narrative Report entitled “White Tank Vistas”, consisting of 10 pages, dated stamped received July 13, 2018, except as modified by the following conditions. b. The following Engineering conditions shall apply: 1. Without the submittal of a precise plan of development, no development approval is inferred by this review, including, but not limited to drainage design, access and roadway alignments. These items will be addressed as development plans progress and are submitted to the County for further review and/or entitlement. 2. Right-of-Way dedications for perimeter streets will be required as follows with plat approval, unless otherwise waived by MCDOT: Northern Avenue: 65 feet Jackrabbit Trail: 70 feet 191st Avenue: 40 feet 3. Development of the site will require offsite right-of-way acquisition and roadway improvements to provide a minimum two (2) paved points of access. Road improvements shall meet the minimum requirements of MCDOT for each respective road classification. 4. A Traffic Impact Study to address traffic impacts and (additional) roadway improvements required to support the proposed development must be submitted with the Preliminary Plat application. 5. If required, submission of a CLOMR application to the Flood Control District must be made prior to or concurrent with the application for Preliminary Plat. c. The following R1-6 RUPD standards shall apply: 1. Minimum Lot Area: 4,950 sq. ft. 2. Minimum Lot Width: 45’ d. Zoning approval is conditional per Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance, Article 304.6, and ARS § 11-814 for five (5) years for the initial phase and an additional five (5) years for each subsequent phase, within which time the subdivision infrastructure permit or construction permit for each phase must be obtained. e. The granting of this change in use of the property has been at the request of the applicant, with the consent of the landowner. The granting of this approval allows the property to enjoy uses in excess of those permitted by the zoning existing on the date of application, subject to conditions. In the event of the failure to comply October 10, 2018 Z2018051 Page 2 of 3 with any condition, the property shall revert to the zoning that existed on the date of application. It is, therefore, stipulated and agreed that either revocation due to the failure to comply with any conditions, does not reduce any rights that existed on the date of application to use, divide, sell or possess the property and that there would be no diminution in value of the property from the value it held on the date of application due to such revocation of the Zone Change. The Zone Change enhances the value of the property above its value as of the date the Zone Change is granted and reverting to the prior zoning results in the same value of the property as if the Zone Change had never been granted.

The request is for a zone change from Rural-43 RUPD to R1-6 RUPD for a future 330 lot single-family subdivision known as White Tank Vistas on approximately 109 acres. The subject site is located west of the corner of Perryville Rd. and Northern Ave. in the Waddell area. A related Preliminary Plat (S2018021) is pending for the subject site. The site currently consists of two separate parcels – APN’s 502-09-011Q and 502-09-011T. Aerial Map of Subject Site and Surrounding Area 2. The subject site was originally zoned Rural-43 RUPD with case Z99-26 and subsequently amended with Z00-188. These cases were for 310 acres which included the already platted Sonoran Ridge Estate Unit 4 to the north of the subject site. The applicant is requesting that the site be changed to include smaller lots under the R1-6 zoning district. With this change in the current zoning, the applicant is also requesting a Residential Unit Plan of Development Overlay (RUPD) to request deviations in minimum lot area and lot Z2018051 Page 2 of 7 width. The RUPD table below compares development standards for the current zoning (Rural-43 RUPD), R1-6 zoning base zoning, and the proposed R1-6 RUPD zoning standards. 3. Access to the site (ingress/egress) is planned from Northern Ave. with 2 access points. There would also be emergency access to the existing eastern portion of Echo Ln. However, this is pending since the related Preliminary Plat is still pending for the site. Below is a conceptual layout of the proposed subdivision to follow this zone change request. Z2018051 Page 3 of 7 Public Participation Summary: 4. The applicant complied with the requirements for notification to the property owners within 300’ of the subject site and postings of the subject property. The applicant has also provided staff with a Citizen Participation Final Report detailing the public process (summary attached). There was a neighborhood meeting held on July 10, 2018 in which approximately 24 attendees from the public joined. The results report includes details about the meeting and the discussion points. To date, staff has received 2 documents of opposition and 1 document of support (attached). There is stated concerns with traffic and increased density. The support mentioned having developed unoccupied vacant land than the current conditions. Existing On-Site and Adjacent Zoning/Land Use: 5.

N/A Staff Analysis: 10. Staff is in agreement with the request as proposed for the zone change of the subject site for a future maximum 330 lot residential subdivision. Even though the proposed zone change and future preliminary plat would be a higher density of the area with smaller lots, the change would result in an approximate density of 3 d.u./ac. which would be within the White Tank/Grand Ave. Area Plan designation density of 2-5 d.u./ac. The Zanjero Trails DMP across the 191st Ave. alignment to the east already has various single- family zoning districts already approved at a higher density. It should be noted that a water provider is still being determined which would need to be resolved during the platting process. 11. The proposed RUPD overlay to decrease the minimum lot area from 6,000 sq. ft. to 4,950 sq. ft. and to decrease the minimum lot width from 60’ to 45’ is justified. The lots would still meet the required setbacks for R1-6 zoning and minimum lot area per dwelling unit is required to maintain 6,000 sq. ft. on average. This would equate to the future development providing a minimum of 34.8% of open space area with a layout to be determined at the time of platting. There would also be future amenities for the proposed subdivision community to include such features as tot-lots, clubhouses, ramadas, etc. Z2018051 Page 5 of 7 12. Staff recognizes the concerns and issues by the public regarding this request. The applicant has provided good examples of how the future development would include landscaped buffer areas and generous open space. Also, there is no proposed access to the Sonoran Ridge Estates subdivision other than emergency access. MCDOT is requiring a Traffic Impact Study and right-of-way dedication for the three public roadways adjacent to the site to see potential impacts and if additional improvements are required to support the proposed development. Lastly, and as previously mentioned, the density proposed would be less than the area plan maximum for Small Lot Residential land use designation. 13. County engineering and environmental reviewers have provided memos with no objections to the request. Engineering conditions are included within the recommendation by staff. Luke Air Force Base (LAFB) and Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) provided no objection memos and emails. 14. As part of the recommendation, staff includes a condition for the requested zone change which falls under the “Conditional Zoning” regulations within Article 304.6 of the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance (MCZO) and ARS § 11-814. This is for a 5 year period to allow for obtaining a Final Plat/Infrastructure Permit for the initial phase of development of the proposed subdivision. Recommendation: 15. For reasons outlined in this staff report, staff recommends the Commission motion for approval with conditions ‘a’ – ‘e’ of Z2018051. a. Development and use of the site shall comply with the Narrative Report entitled “White Tank Vistas”, consisting of 10 pages, dated stamped received July 13, 2018, except as modified by the following conditions. b. The following Engineering conditions shall apply: 1. Without the submittal of a precise plan of development, no development approval is inferred by this review, including, but not limited to drainage design, access and roadway alignments. These items will be addressed as development plans progress and are submitted to the County for further review and/or entitlement. 2. Right-of-Way dedications for perimeter streets will be required as follows with plat approval, unless otherwise waived by MCDOT: Northern Avenue: 65 feet Jackrabbit Trail: 70 feet 191st Avenue: 40 feet 3. Development of the site will require offsite right-of-way acquisition and roadway improvements to provide a minimum two (2) paved points of Z2018051 Page 6 of 7 access. Road improvements shall meet the minimum requirements of MCDOT for each respective road classification. 4. A Traffic Impact Study to address traffic impacts and (additional) roadway improvements required to support the proposed development must be submitted with the Preliminary Plat application. 5. If required, submission of a CLOMR application to the Flood Control District must be made prior to or concurrent with the application for Preliminary Plat. c. The following R1-6 RUPD standards shall apply: 1. Minimum Lot Area: 4,950 sq. ft. 2. Minimum Lot Width: 45’ d. Zoning approval is conditional per Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance, Article 304.6, and ARS § 11-814 for five (5) years for the initial phase and an additional five (5) years for each subsequent phase, within which time the subdivision infrastructure permit or construction permit for each phase must be obtained. e. The granting of this change in use of the property has been at the request of the applicant, with the consent of the landowner. The granting of this approval allows the property to enjoy uses in excess of those permitted by the zoning existing on the date of application, subject to conditions. In the event of the failure to comply with any condition, the property shall revert to the zoning that existed on the date of application. It is, therefore, stipulated and agreed that either revocation due to the failure to comply with any conditions, does not reduce any rights that existed on the date of application to use, divide, sell or possess the property and that there would be no diminution in value of the property from the value it held on the date of application due to such revocation of the Zone Change. The Zone Change enhances the value of the property above its value as of the date the Zone Change is granted and reverting to the prior zoning results in the same value of the property as if the Zone Change had never been granted.

See Aerial Map at TAB A. The Property consists of two parcels: Maricopa County Assessor Parcel No(s): 502-09-011Q and 502-09-011T, The Property is currently zoned Rural-43 (RU-43) Residential Unit Plan of Development (RUPD). See Zoning Map at Tab B. The Property is designated within the White Tank/Grand Avenue Area Plan for "Small Lot Residential 2-5 du/ac." See Area Plan Map at TAB C. This request seeks to rezone the Property from RU-43 RUPD to R1-6 RUPD in order to accommodate a 330- unit single-family subdivision named, "White Tank Vistas." The proposed project will allow the applicant to move forward with a development on a site that has remained vacant since it was first zoned for one-acre residential lots over 19 years ago. The proposed zoning will accommodate a variety of lot sizes ranging from a minimum of 4,950 square-feet up to 18,000 square-feet as shown in the table below: Table 1- White Tank Vistas Project Summary: Zoning District Max. Number of Proposed Min. Lot Area (sf) Gross Open Space % with RUPD Units Acreage of Total Area Overlay R1-6 330 (17) 18,000 sq.ft lots 109.45 AC 34.8% (166) 4,950 sq.ft lots (36.9 AC) (70) 5,750 sq.ft lots (77) 7,200 sq.ft lots Description of Development Proposal Location and Site History As noted above, the Property is generally located at the northwest corner of 191 51 Avenue and Northern Avenue in the unincorporated portion of Maricopa County, Arizona. It was first zoned RU-43 RUPD as part of the Sonoran Ridge Estates RUPD in 1999. The original zoning case established the RUPD overlay for approximately 310.89 acres at the northwest corner of 191st Avenue and Northern Avenue. Roughly two- thirds of the original site was platted for single-family home development, with 153 lots ranging in size from approximately 30,000 square feet to over one acre. In the last two decades, approximately 77 of these lots have been developed. The rest of the lots — along with the Property — remain vacant and undeveloped. The location of this community and the minimum lot size available under the existing entitlements creates an extremely small niche market, illustrated by the fact that homes have only been constructed on half of the available platted lots in the last 19 years. In order to encourage continued growth, investment, and development in this area, a range of housing options must be available. The substantial inventory of large, acre-plus undeveloped lots on the platted portion of the Sonoran Ridge Estates subdivision provides White Tank Vistas Page I 3 adequate justification for additional density on the Property that aligns with the White Tank/Grand Avenue Area Plan. Project Description The applicant is requesting to rezone the Property from RU-43 RUPD to R1-6 RUPD for the development of White Tank Vistas, a 330-unit single-family gated community. The proposed project will offer a broad range of lot sizes and housing types for single-family living in a unique desert environment near the base of its namesake, the White Tank Mountains. This new community of quality-built, single-family detached homes with a variety of open space areas will add to the housing options available in the area and enhance employment attractiveness with quality living environment at a range of approachable price points. In order to tailor the development to the unique conditions of the site and create an appropriate transition in residential density between the proposed project and the existing Sonoran Ridge Estates development, the applicant is requesting an RUPD overlay in conjunction with the underlying R1-6 zone change. The requested RUPD overlay provides an alternative to the traditional development standards found in the underlying zoning district. This allows the applicant to create development standards that are responsive to the unique site topography and contextual circumstances in the area or otherwise promote a creative and efficient approach to land development (such as a tailored list of permitted uses or modified development/bulk standards). In this instance, the applicant is requesting an RUPD overlay to address the irregular shape of the Property, its unique topography (including an existing wash that runs along the eastern border of the Property), and develop the site in an efficient manner by employing a range of lot sizes to accommodate several housing types. The uniquely shaped site has topographical constraints, but the overall design approach creates a more naturally scenic environment. The residential development has nearly 35% of the site area dedicated for common open space. See Conceptual Site Plan at TAB D. The community offers adequate open space for onsite retention, landscape buffers from the adjacent right- of-way, and landscape tracts adjacent to all corner lots, as well as open space corresponding to natural washes. White Tank Vistas is designed to complement existing land uses and provide appropriate buffers and transitions in response to the existing built environment, including the following: Maximum density of 330 homes is less than that allowed under the current General Plan designation. This application does not propose to increase density over that allowed under the current General Plan designations, and incorporates strategic landscape buffers, trails and other community amenities within the site plan to create a truly livable and walkable community. 2. 80' min Landscape and Open Space Buffer along the southern, western and eastern project boundaries. A landscape buffer outside of the Property's perimeter wall that will include enhanced landscaping and trees for visual buffering. 3. Generous Open Space Commitments. A minimum of 34.8% of the net land area within the project, approximately 37 acres, will be strategically set aside for community open space and buffers. This amount far exceeds the 10% open space required by the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance. Open space will be meaningfully located within (10) large amenity/recreation areas. Other paseos and pedestrian areas will be used to ensure easy access for residents to traverse the entire project site White Tank Vistas Page I 4 and to reach amenities outside of the Property. See the Conceptual Landscape Plan for details and overview of landscape and open areas, White Tank/Grand Avenue Area Plan As noted above, the Property falls within the Maricopa County White Tank/Grand Avenue Area Plan (the "Plan"), which designates the Property as Small Lot Residential (2-5 dwelling units/acre). The proposed White Tank Vistas subdivision will offer 330 single family detached units across an area of approximately 109.45 acres — an overall density of 3.02 dwelling units per acre. The proposed density aligns with the County's vision for future residential development in this area, and the project furthers important goals and objectives identified in the Plan: • Goal Li: Promote efficient land development that is compatible with adjacent land uses, is well integrated with the transportation system, and is sensitive to the natural environment. o Objective L1.2: Encourage the use of planned communities that provide a variety of land uses, housing types, employment opportunities, and offer a safe and pleasant living and working environment. • Policy L1.2.4: Encourage the use of flexible planning and design techniques. White Tank Vistas advances an important overall goal and specific objective within the Plan. The RUPD option allows the applicant to configure varying levels of internal residential density in a manner that is sensitive to the larger homes and lots to the north, providing appropriate transitional density between the two neighborhoods. This design consideration is responsive to specific concerns raised by neighbors in Sonoran Ridge Estates regarding residential density and intensity adjacent to their homes. To improve the compatibility between the two developments, 18,000 square-foot lots have been placed along the northern end of White Tank Vistas, providing a density buffer between the larger rural homes in Sonoran Ridge Estates and the higher densities within the proposed project. Additionally, White Tank Vistas has been designed with a significant amount of open space and landscaping to remain sensitive to the surrounding desert environment. The flexibility afforded by the proposed RUPP allows the applicant to adjust the lot sizes in a manner that balances appropriate levels of density with the provision of open space sufficient to match the character of the area and adjacent neighborhoods. In short, White Tank Vistas is precisely the type residential development envisioned by Maricopa County for this area. Development Standards Due to the irregular shape of the Property, the unique topography, open space considerations, and the Area Plan goal of providing a range of housing types, the applicant is requesting an RUPD overlay along with the underlying zone change in order to provide flexibility in the R1-6 development standards. Accordingly, the applicant is proposing the following development standards for White Tank Vistas: White Tank Vistas Page 15 DEVELOPMENT Current Zoning: Base Standards PROPOSED STANDARDS RU 43 RUPD RI -6 RI -6 RUPD Lot Area (Min.)

Relationship to Surrounding Properties The Property is flanked on three sides by vacant land that is rural in character. To the north of the Property is the platted portion of Sonoran Ridge Estates, which contains 153 lots between 30,000 and 50,000 square feet. Approximately 77 of the lots are developed with single-family homes. North Sonoran Ridge Estates — Zoned RU-43 RUPD East RU-43 State Trust Land and R1-8 RUPD (Zanjero Trails) West RU-43 State Trust Land South RU-43 State Trust Land Location and Accessibility Two full-access driveways are proposed along the southern border of the Property adjacent to Northern Avenue which provides access to 191st Avenue. Infrastructure within the area that will provide accessibility to the site will also be Perryville Road as well as Olive Avenue. Both will potentially share the load for trips generated by the development. The property is also conveniently located approximately three miles west of the Loop 303 where a major interchange is located at the intersection of Northern Avenue. Development Schedule It is feasible that various home builders will construct separate parcels over time. However, the property owner intends to have the Property fully entitled and ready for construction by June 2019. Circulation System Onsite — Onsite circulation and accessibility shall be provided by internal local streets and corridors. The developer will propose minimum 50 foot right of way for all internal traffic conveyance. Onsite roads will be constructed to reflect the County's minimum cross-section for a local street. There will be two access points along Northern Avenue to the south of the subdivision. It is anticipated that the interior roads will be developed to the County's minimum local road standards, White Tank Vistas Page I 6 Offsite — Offsite circulation and improvements will include all roadway improvements for Northern Avenue and Beardsley Avenue as they correspond to the proposed development. In addition to the adjacent offsite improvements, it is anticipated that the developer will improve Northern Avenue from Perryville Road to Beardsley Avenue, approximately one mile total distance, to Maricopa County minimum road standards to allow a paved access to the property. It is anticipated that the offsite roads will be developed to minimum for collectors and/or arterial half-streets. Community Facilities and Services Although the property is currently located within unincorporated Maricopa County, the Property falls within the City of Buckeye planning area, The development is also within the Dysart Unified School District, The County will provide emergency services such as Fire and Police. Open Space - Due to the topographic conditions and constraints, the property will have a significant amount of open space (currently proposed 34,8%). Open space is intended to be utilized to maintain the existing desert rugged appeal of the area There are several washes that will continue to flow through the property that will maintain the existing vegetation and landscaping. In addition to that, the developer will include pedestrian walkways and passages that interconnect throughout the site, linking the individual subdivisions together as well as the adjacent State Land. As part of the open space package, community amenities will be proposed that may include tot-lots, clubhouses, barbeques, ramadas, etc. All amenities, walkways, and landscaping associated with the open space will be finalized as the property proceeds through the preliminary plat and final engineering / final plat processes. With its location adjacent to the White Tank Mountain Regional Park, the landscaping along the exterior of the site will consist of a plant palette that will complement the natural Sonoran Desert setting. Plants will consist of Palo Verdes, Ironwoods, Mesquites, Ocotillos, Barrel Cactus, Brittle Bush, Globe Mallow, Desert Spoon, Jojoba, Triangle-leaf Bursage, and others. For the Interior areas of the site, there will be lawn areas for recreation and plants that accommodate this purpose while still respecting the desert climate. Plants for these areas will include Oaks, Desert Willows, Baja Rueflies, Fairy Dusters, Deer Grass, Lantana, Mexican Bird of Paradise, Sage, Valentine Emu, Chuparosa, Yellow Bells. Perimeter and interior fencing will be a variation of split face wall, masonry wall, and view fencing. See the attached fencing details. Public Utilities and Services Electricity will be provided by APS, sanitary sewer will be provided by Liberty Utilities, and potable water will be supplied by either EPCOR, Liberty, or the City of Surprise. Discussions have been initiated between all three potential providers and the developer is determining which of the three will be the more cost effective option. The developer and his representative(s) shall coordinate with all utility and service providers for service agreements, extensions, etc. White Tank Vistas Page I 7 PUBLIC UTILITIES SERVICE PROVIDERS Fire Protection Rural Metro Police Protection Maricopa County Sheriff School District Dysart Unified School District #89 Water EPCOR, Liberty, or City of Surprise Wastewater Liberty Telephone Cox Refuse Private Contractor Electric APS Summary The proposed project is consistent with the character of the area and approved residential development patterns. White Tank Vistas aligns with the several specific goals and policies of the White Tank/Grand Avenue Area Plan and meets the target density for this area identified on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The Conceptual Site Plan establishes a general framework that supports the evolving needs of future residents, Due to the topography and special geography (including an existing wash that runs along the eastern border of the Property), the requested R1-6 RUPD zoning is appropriate to tailor the development standards to the unique circumstances of the site. Approval of this request will allow the applicant to move forward with a development that meaningfully improves the range of housing options in the area while remaining respectful of existing residential development in the area and sensitive to the surrounding desert habitat. White Tank Vistas will bring new growth to an area targeted by the County for additional residential density, and will allow the applicant to develop a site that has sat vacant and unutilized since it was first rezoned almost twenty years ago.

In overview, the single family development is within the Sheriff's Office District ill substation location at 13063 West Bell Road, and I believe falls within Supervisorial District 4. This proposed development of about 109 acres will add 330 homes and a population of about 880 residents on completion. So overtime during the phasing and on completion of this development it will have an impact on calls for service as well as Patrol beats and staffing which will need to be addressed at some point through the budgeting process.

This development is located on 109.45 acres at the northwest corner of 191th Avenue and Northern Avenue in the unincorporated portion of Maricopa County. The request is to rezone the site from Rural-43 Residential Unit Plan of Development to R1-6 RUPD and develop the site into a 330-lot single family residential community with an overall all density of 3.02 du/ac. This site is located approximately 2.09 miles outside the 1988 JLUS 65 Ldn, "high noise or accident potential zone," as defined by A.R.S. § 28-8461 and is within the "territory in the vicinity of a military airport," also defined by A.R.S. § 28-8461. Luke AFB follows the guidelines in the Graduated Density Concept (GDC). The GDC proposes, in the absence of a more restrictive state, county or municipal general or comprehensive plan, graduating densities away from the 65 Ldn as follows: a maximum of 2 du/acre from the 65 Ldn to 1/2 mile, a maximum of 4 du/acre from 1/2 mile to 1 mile and a maximum of 6 du/acre from Ito 3 miles. With a density of 3.02 du/ac this development falls within the guidelines of the GDC. This request, as stated in the narrative, will not negatively impact the flying operations at Luke AFB. If approved it will be located within the "territory in the vicinity of a military airport," and will be subjected to approximately 165 over flights a day, with some as law as 1,500 feet above ground level. We recommend you review the sound attenuation requirements found in A.R.S. § 28-8482. In addition, a strong notification program on the part of the applicant is essential to inform potential residents about Luke AFB operations.

I have two similar looking neighbor lists in my address book and so I sent this to both lists to try to catch as many neighbors as possible. The attachment relates to the land south of Sonoran Ridge Estates where the property owner Verma Land is seeking a zoning change to enable them to develop a 300+ home development. There is an open house Q&A meeting scheduled for July 10 (details in attachment) which will be "interesting" I'm sure. A month or so ago AmyRae Mullins and I were invited to a meeting with First United, Verma Land, and Verma's law firm in which they shared the plans you will see in the attachment. We opposed the zoning change but requested that if they are successful in their zoning change endeavors that the development be "out of the ordinary" in that it retain a true Sonoran Desert flavor in its entry and common areas, and that it have high quality design homes on the albeit small lots. Sonoran Ridge Estates has no official or legal link to the subject land so that small meeting was just for them to get a reading on the prevailing sentiment and potential push-back they might experience from SRE folks. Please attend the July 10 meeting if you have thoughts on this.

Clearly there is much of the county government process that I do not understand and welcome any help you can give me! I was told by the owner of Vermaland that the undeveloped property that is part of my development was rezoned some time ago to no longer allow septic. And because of this rezoning it was no longer feasible to build homes on the acre lots. Now I have received an email stating that Vermaland is seeking approval to rezone the site from RU-43 to R1-6 so they can place 330 homes on the site. I live in Waddell and the jurisdiction we are under is the county. I feel scared and frustrated that the largest land owner in Arizona is coming into a rural area and developing high density housing. Not only is this area rural it is also at the base of the White Tank Mountains. Our neighborhood, Sonoran Ridge Estates, currently encourages and has rules to respect the desert environment. A low percentage of our lot can be developed in order to preserve the area around us. Homeowners have worked tirelessly and had much personal expense to ensure that their homes preserve the property. Vermaland asked my neighbor and [who try to work with and support our HOA (it is not managed by the actual homeowners) to a meeting to discuss this in April of this year. I cannot understand why the owner of Vermaland sought this meeting at his lawyers office. also do not know if this meeting somehow checked off a county requirement for due diligence. If so we certainly were not told of this. It was also mentioned in this meeting that this was the second law firm Vermaland had hired to work on this situation. I would like to find out if it is true that this land was rezoned to no longer allow septic and if so why weren't residents of the same development told of it. And was it the Whitney Morris law team that had it approved? Also what can we do as rural residents to fight against high density housing. Obviously the people who live in this county area chose to do so because they sought out the rural area. Otherwise it would not be worth the extra miles and time it takes us to drive into work and shop. I sadly feel like our desires and reasoning for living in a rural county area won't matter to the county in comparison to the power of Vermaland. How do we fight for our rural area against a corporation that is the largest Arizona land owner and obviously has the finances and employees multiple law firms to push thru whatever they desire? We can only plead our case with the county which likely will be feeble in comparison to Vermaland's law firm. We are small in number and will not be able to fund a law team let alone a lawyer. Thank you for your time and any advice you can offer us. Attached is the document I received from the Whitney Morris law firm about the zoning request for high density housing. 1 Raymond Banker - PLAN DEVX From: Anita Verma <anita@vermaland.com > Sent: Friday, June 29, 2018 7:35 AM To: jason@witheymorris.com; kirste@witheymorris.com ; David.Bohn@westwoodps.com; Gabriel Martinez; Raymond Banker - PLANDEVX Subject: Fwd: zoning case no Z2018051 My dad has sent this email, you can use it as you see fit.

County does not wish and have rejected the preplat 1 acre lots that were approved earlier when this subdivision was approved. Our several efforts to get this approval again has been denied. 2. County feels the current size of one acre lots with septic tank possibly contaminate the ground water, so they are not allowing that anymore. County does not like the septic tanks. 3. If the county did approve the 1 acre lots, there will be 85 more lots developed and it will add to an already existing lot supply for over 12 years now, bringing the lot prices down farther and bringing the house price down. 4. Both the entry exit for this will be from northern, and no interconnection to the existing Sonoran Ridge estate. This should not create any traffic impact on olive. 5.

See Aerial Map at TAB A. The Property consists of two parcels: Maricopa County Assessor Parcel No(s): 502-09-011Q and 502-09-011T. The Property is currently zoned Rural-43 (RU-43) Residential Unit Plan of Development (RUPD). The Property is designated within the White Tank/Grand Avenue Area Plan for "Small Lot Residential 2-5 du/ac." This request seeks to rezone the Property from RU-43 RUPD to R1-6 RUPD in order to accommodate a 330- unit single-family subdivision named, "White Tank Vistas." The proposed project will allow the applicant to move forward with a development on a site that has remained vacant since it was first zoned for one-acre residential lots over 19 years ago. The proposed zoning will accommodate a variety of lot sizes ranging from a minimum of 4,950 square-feet up to 18,000 square-feet (See Site Plan, TAB B). Details and Techniques Used to Involve the Public Withey Morris PLC sent out first class letters on June 25, 2018 to the stakeholders including area residents / property owners list, Interested Parties List, and Maricopa County Planning and Development Department in accordance with the 300-foot notification requirement (see Notification Letter, Mailing Lists, Posting information, and Neighborhood Meeting Sign-In Sheet at TAB Cy Further, the property was posted in (2) places on either side of the project at the end of Echo Lane just north of the northern property line regarding the request and details of the upcoming hearings for the case. Summary of Concerns, Issues and Problems Since the first notification letter was mailed out on June 25, 2018, we have received two inquiries regarding the rezoning case. Anita met one on one with Mr. Mark Ruthem and had a phone call with Amy Rae. Anita was able to answer Mr. Ruthem's questions and by the end of the meeting he was understanding of the need of development in the area and the overall plans of this development. Mrs. Rae had some concerns about the value of her property, however by the end of the discussion, she gave Anita feedback as to what type of construction she would like to see for the row of lots the developer has left as larger lots in between Sonoran Ridge and White Tank Vistas. A neighborhood meeting was held on July 10, 2018 regarding the zoning proposal in the multi-purpose room of the Cotton Baptist Church located at 6240 North Cotton Lane in Waddell, AZ. There were four development team members present to explain the proposed residential development and answer questions. There were a total of approximately (24) attendees who either lived nearby or owned property within close proximity of the subject rezone area. The sign-in sheet received from the attendees and the neighbor notification letter are attached to this memorandum. The main points discussed are as follows: • Several color site plan exhibits were placed at each of the (4) planning stations around the multi- purpose room where development team members provided information about the proposal to rezone the Property from RU-43 RUPD to R1-6 RUPD for a new gated 330-lot community of single-family homes known as, "White Tank Vistas." The team explained early on that there is no builder proposed at this time. Although there were various comments/concerns and questions raised during the meeting, a majority of attendees discussion generally focused on the following areas: 1.) The proposed sizes of the single-family lots which are compatible with the adjacent zoning patterns and character of the area. The development team provided details in order to show the strategic placement of larger lots along the northern boundary of the property that is shared with the existing Sonoran Ridge Estates single-family community. 2.) Further, the team explained that the project will offer a broad range of lot sizes and housing types for single-family living in a unique desert environment. The team pointed out that the proposed density is less than that allowed under the current General Plan designation. 3.) Attendees were interested to know about the strategic landscape buffers, the potential to provide a future horse trail along Northern Avenue and other community amenities within the site plan to create a truly livable community. 4.) A few attendees were interested to know if the development would be served by septic or public sewer systems. The team expressed that the proposal would be served by public sewer. 5.) Some were pleased with the proposal for single-family homes which they had anticipated would be built on this vacant property that is already zoned for single-family use. 6.) Questions were raised about the circulation plan and the overall connectivity to the area, Generally, many interested in the proposed access for the project and noticed that there was no connection between the proposed project and Sonoran Ridge to the north. Many attendees were supportive of the intent to not have any vehicular access to the Sonoran Ridge Estates. 7.) A few neighbors who live adjacent to the project asked the team to consider realigning/adjusting a few of the proposed 18,000 sq.ft. lots located at the northwest corner of the property in hopes to improve the overall compatibility with their lots, The development team is committed to exploring that option with the neighbors and the County. 8.) In response to questions raised about the future conditions of Jackrabbit Trail, the team explained that the County would determine if the adjacent perimeter would need to be widened and improved. It was noted that Sonoran Ridge Estates did not complete their half of the roadway which would have connected to Dive Avenue. The development team is committed to exploring the access needed with the County. 9,) Finally, some expressed that they would like to participate in focus meetings with the applicant in order to discuss potential options and the finer details of the development plan. The development team offered to meet one-on-one or in group settings. The team explained at that the maximum density which Is allowed by the General Plan, the significant open space/landscape buffers and generous open space commitments ensure a community of homes that are commensurate with the adjacent neighborhoods will have a positive impact on the area. Three days after this meeting, Anita met with five of the neighbors who have homes which will be the closest to White Tank Vistas (their names and addresses are attached), this group had concerns about the row of larger lots in between Sonoran Ridge and White Tank Vistas. As a compromise, Vermaland agreed to keep that row all single story as to avoid obstructing neighboring views and agreed to combine five lots into three lots as to leave more open space behind Sonoran Ridge, This group was happy with the compromise Vermaland was making and did not have any further objections. This concludes the Citizen Participation Final Report for the White Tank Vistas. If there are any questions concerning the content of this report, please contact Anita Verma at (602) 274-0770 or Kirste Kowalsky at (602) 230-0600 or via email at anita@vermaland.com or kirste@witheymorris.com .

The current zoning was in place I believe at time of acquisition. The claim that the acre lots are not possible due to an inability to place septic systems is entirely inaccurate as Sonoran Ridge Estates Is entirely on septic's at 1 acre sites. The proposed development would have street lights and would impact the desert environment we now enjoy and would Impact the adjacent White Tank Mountains Regional Park. The grading and drainage has also been an issue in this area regarding the adjacent washes, I respectfully request that The Planning and Zoning Commission deny the requested zoning change.

This happening disturbs us for several reasons: -The values of our custom homes on large lots will be reduced. -The traffic that our existing roads will be backed up even more with such homes. -Our schools are already plagued with high class sizes. - WiIdlife and our beautiful dark starry_skies will be negatively impacted. -Few retail stores to support lots of population growth.

We felt that it would be a good investment and a nice place to raise our family. We were told by Sonoran Ridge development that the lots would always be an acre. We were told that this community would be like many of those in Scottsdale and the east valley. Now with these small track homes being proposed it will hurt our home values and also take away from the beauty of the mountain and desert. I would ask, do we need another track neighborhood in the west valley? I am in the east valley all the time and there is a good mix of custom and tracks. With the custom homes in the area it helps the track home sustain their values and ultimately makes for a nicer part of town. We strongly object to this development and Verma has gone back on what they have sold us. Let's make the west valley a place that is comparable to the east valley. With another track home development this will just be another money grab for a corporation that is already financially well off. Let's do the right thing and get the west valley going in the right direction_ Also, Verma has been unethical in the things that they have done and have said about what type of houses should be in our neighborhood. We have been lied to time and time again. We have been treated as if we are ignorant Waddell residents. We have been duped. They have given us false hope and we will not stand for it. We support our community and our board members as long as it is in accordance to what we have been promised. However, we have been given false hope. That is disappointing.

This company is all about greed. Our roads and schools can not handle such an influx of people. Case #Z2018051 White Tank Vistas Zoning change from Rural-43 RUPD to. R 1-6 RUPD Cortessa Lot 1419 18066 w Vogel Ave Waddell AZ 85340 Natalie Hartel Sent from my iPhone 1 Maricopa County Planning and Zoning Committee: I believe the largest land owner in Arizona along with their law team has tried to dupe the County residents of Waddell. Lawyers from the Withey Morris team reached out to Brian Cotrell and Ito meet back in April. During this meeting the law team and Kuldip Vernna told us that the county had already rezoned the area that is in question today — the southern portion of Sonoran Ridge Estates Community. This county decision of rezoning forced Vermaland to change the housing plan from 110 houses to 330 plus units. They also told us that the county rezoning banned septic systems in this area. Mr. Verma himself made a point to tell Brian and I that if the county would allow septic systems then he would be happy to develop the area into the 110 acre lots as "previously planned". In fact Mr. Vernna even went on to say that he would prefer to develop the acre lots but due to the county's supposed rezoning his only viable option is to put in higher density housing. MARICOPA COUNTY HAS NOT REZONED ANY OF THIS LAND! Vermaland owners and representatives continued to swindle us into believing that they have a respect for this desert area and had incorporated amenities and green spaces to cause as little disturbance as possible. In reality the new development only contains space for water retention. Flood plains and washes will be leveled and redirected to suit the new 330homes. In July Anita Verma reached out to me several times and on July 9, 2018 we spoke on the phone. She started the conversation saying how she "hates to be in this position" and that this 330-home neighborhood is not what Venmaland wanted to do with the property but because of the "county dictating what it is zoned for" and "market demand they have no other choice". Ms. Verma continued to speak on the diatribe against the county for several minutes. 1 informed her of the good news of not having to hate this situation because the county has not rezoned the area. And that her dad could deliver what he promised in April that he would be thrilled to develop the acre lot homes. Even though Ms. Verma told me she is not legally allowed to lie I believe that both Vernnaland and their law team lied to us when telling us the area had been rezoned. Ms. Verma's argument then turned to the housing market of 2006. When Sonoran Ridge Estates was developed in 2006 over twice the number of housing permits were submitted compared to 2018. So Verrnaland needs to develop the area with as many units as possible to make money on the property like in 2006. However, as a Maricopa County resident half the number of housing permit submittals in 2018 versus 2006 is good news as obviously the market was not able to withstand the growth of 2006. And I am hopeful that developers and the county have learned from that experience. RECEIVED SEP 0 6 2018 Next I was told because other higher density neighborhoods going in close to the area justified another one. I strongly disagree with his line of thought as I believe Maricopa County had forethought and was thinking long term when they zoned the area at the base of the White Tank Mountains. The area is currently zoned to limit disturbance in order to maintain the natural landscape along the perimeter of lots for the purpose to maintain natural drainage. The area they are now asking to be rezoned is next to the WhiteTank Mountain Regional Park. This park is enjoyed by thousands of Maricopa County residents and is a place of refuge from the bustling suburbs. Maricopa County chose to zone this neighborhood to preserve the area and the park and certainly shouldn't choose to change their minds so a wealthy developer can profit. We as county residents do not have the dollar power to fight Vermaland and their legal teams in court We are at the mercy of this board. We hope that the County will take into account the business practice of untruths that Vermaland has used to manipulate county residents. We also hold out faith that when the County designated this area it was committed to the desert landscape and not causing disturbance. Current residents of Sonoran Ridge have not only gone to great expense but also taken massive amounts effort to follow the county's guidelines. Please don't allow Vermaland to manipulate the county as it has been doing to the Waddell residents.
