FINAL PLAT: ARROYO NORTE UNIT 4 CASE NUMB - REVISED BOS REPORT RECEIVED AT BOARD MEETING.PDF

REVISED Report to the Board of Supervisors
Prepared by the Maricopa County Planning and Development Department
Commission Hearing Date: September 6, 2007
Board Hearing Date: September 3, 2008 (Continued from August 20, 2008)
Case: 52006015 - Arroyo Norte Unit 4
Agenda Item: 3
Supervisor District: 3
Applicant: Hoskin Ryan Consultants
Property Owner: Pulte Homes
Request: Final Plat in the R1-7 RUPD zoning district
Existing On-Site and Adjacent Zoning:
On-site: R1-7 RUPD PAD (Z2002092)
North: R1-8 RUPD PAD / Arroyo Norte Unit 5 and R1-10 RUPD
PAD / Arroyo Norte Unit 6
East: R1-18 RUPD PAD / Arroyo Norte Units 8 - 10
South: R1-6 RUPD PAD / Anthem Unit 21-A
West: R1-7 RUPD PAD / Arroyo Norte Unit 3 (City of
Phoenix)
Proposed Use: 100-lot, 4-tract, single-family residential subdivision
Site Location: East of 1-17, south of Circle Mountain Rd. (in the
Anthem area)
Site Size: Approx. 38.6 gross acres
Proposed Density: 239 cl.u./ac.
County Island
Status: N/A
Summary of Conformance with Adopted Plans:
County Plan: The County Area Plan designates most of the site for
Large-Lot Residential (1-2 d.ulac.) uses, but allows for
Scenic Commercial uses along the highway frontage.
The proposal is, arguably, in concert with the County

Area Plan because of allowance for increased density
for preservation of open space connections to Gavilan
Peak determined at time of Arroyo Norte's zoning
entitlement.
Municipal Plan: N/A
Support/Opposition: There is organized neighborhood opposition to the Arroyo
Norte development project, but no written opposition has
been provided specific to this Final Plat since there has
been no related public notice and none is required for a
Subdivision case with approved Zoning.
Discussion: The Preliminary Plat was first approved by the Planning & Zoning
Commission on August 11, 2005 (52004107). It was subsequently
extended on August 3, 2006 (52006048) and September 6, 2007
(52007044). The current Preliminary Plat will expire on September
6, 2008. If the subject Final Plat is not recorded prior to that date,
the Preliminary Plat will expire. Further, conditional zoning approved
under case Z2002092 will also be positioned for revocation.
The applicant has complied with ARS 9-474, as amended in 1978, by
routing a copy of the final plat to the all municipalities within three
miles of the subject property and to all intended utility providers.
There were no objections to the request raised by any of these
entities. A Certificate of Assured Water Supply from Arizona
Department of Water Resources is also included.
All requirements of the Maricopa County Department of
Transportation, the Maricopa County Environmental Services
Department, and the Flood Control District of Maricopa County have
been met. All agencies have signed-off on the final plat; and staff
recommends approval of the final plat. However, there are
outstanding drainage issues on the associated Infrastructure Permit
(B200603115) that still need to be addressed, and if that
necessitates any redelineation of parcels then a replat will be
required.
