White Tank Foothills: Project Narrative
1. Executive Summary
The White Tank Foothills Development Master Plan (DMP) ("White Tank Foothills") is approximately 
640 acres located in Maricopa County ("the County") This application from Northern Citrus, LLP is 
requesting an amendment to the approved White Tank Foothills DMP land use designations from 
Small Lot Residential and Rural to Small Lot Residential and Traditional Lots. The amendment 
focuses on existing Phase 3 (Parcels 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, and 3.14). The proposed development is a 
232.28 gross acre (222.92 net acre) single-family community located at the northwest corner 
of Citrus Road and Northern Avenue in White Tank Foothills Phase 3, exclusive of the City of 
Surprise lift station, EPCOR well site, or White Tank Foothills HOA property ("the Site"). The 
Site is proposing 645 dwelling units (2.63 du/ac) within Phase 3, which will increase the overall 
number of lots within White Tank Foothills to 1,621, an overall density of 2.53 du/ac. The current 
White Tank Foothills entitlements (Phases 1, 2, and 3) are for 1,381 lots for an overall density 
of 2.16 du/ac. In addition to the proposed changes the amount of open space in Phase 3 has 
also increased from approximately 45 acres to 50+ acres. To achieve the revisions to this 
single-family development, this application is requesting to amend the land use designations 
for existing Phase 3 (Parcels 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, and 3.14). The proposed land use designations will 
create additional housing options in the area and will transition densities between Phases 1 and 
2 to the north and the adjacent properties south of the Northern Avenue. The requested DMP 
amendment will be accompanied by an RUPD/PAD and development standards amendment 
application, which will be submitted and processed concurrently.
Considerable changes have been made to the proposed development plans in response to 
community feedback.  Those changes include:
x
Eliminating 286, 45-foot wide lots.
x
Modifying the previously approved road network to provide a new road (Harmont Drive)
through Phase 3 from White Tank Mountain Boulevard to Citrus Road.
x
Increasing the lot size of certain parcels in Phase 3 to be more compatible with the Phase
1 lots that are immediately adjacent to Phase 3:
o
Parcel 3.11 – from 55-foot and 75-foot wide lots to 75- and 90-foot wide lots;
o
Parcel 3.17 – from 55-foot wide lots to 65-foot wide lots; and
o
Parcel 3.19 –from 45-foot wide lots to 65-foot wide lots.

to limit certain lots adjacent to Phase 1 to single-story/24 feet only.
x
Despite no restriction on RV garages, agreeing that if RV garages are constructed, they
must be architecturally integrated into the design of the home and be of no greater
height than the home itself.
Approval of this request will allow the Site to continue to be developed as a high-quality residential

2. Location Description
White Tank Foothills is located within western Maricopa County. The 232.28 gross acre Site is a 
portion of the overall approximately 640-acre White Tank Foothills master-planned community. 
The Site is currently undeveloped land being used for agricultural purposes. To the north and 
northeast are Phases 1 and 2 of White Tank Foothills, which have been completed or are currently 
under construction . 
White Tank Foothills is located approximately 2.4 miles west of Arizona State Route 303 and 6.2 
miles north of Interstate 10, both of which connect the Site to the greater Phoenix metropolitan 
area. The primary access to the Site is through White Tank Mountain Boulevard within Phases 1 
and 2, which connects to Seldon Lane and 183rd Avenue. From there, the roads connect to Olive 
Avenue and Citrus Road. There are intentionally no access points into the White Tank Foothills 
community from Northern Avenue, as was agreed to in the original RUPD/PAD zoning case 
(Condition ‘g’ of DMP200002).

3. Site Analysis
3.1 Existing Land Uses and Zoning
The White Tank Foothills Development Master 
Plan (DMP200002) was approved by the Board of 
Supervisors (BOS) on August 22, 2001. On July 2, 
2003, the BOS approved a Major Amendment to the 
DMP for White Tank Foothills (DMP2002006) and 
Rezoning (Z2000136). 
The 2003 DMP Amendment covered approximately 
640 acres and included approximately 482 acres 
of Small Lot Residential Use with a range of 
zoning districts from R1-6 RUPD to R1-8 RUPD 
and lot sizes ranging from 50’ x 120’ to 70’ x 150’; 
approximately 101 acres of Rural Residential Use 
with R1-18 RUPD zoning and lot sizes at 120’ x 150’; 
a 10-acre park; a 15-acre school site; 21.59 acres of 
Community Commercial (Parcel 1.1); and 8.45 acres 
of Neighborhood Commercial (Parcel 1.4). The total 
number of lots approved for White Tank Foothills 
was 1,381 single-family residential units at a density 
of 2.16 du/acre.   
Another amendment to the DMP (DMP2013004) was 
approved in 2014 by the BOS. The 2014 amendment 
converted the commercial land use designation on 
Phase 1 Parcels 1.1 and 1.4 to the Small Lot Residential 
land use designation A concurrent zoning case for 
Phase 1 Parcels 1.1 and 1.4 added approximately

overall White Tank Foothills residential yield to 1,363 
units, an approximate density of 2.13 du/acre. Since 
the 2014 DMP approval, Phase 1 is mostly developed 
with the exception of Parcels 1.1 and 1.4, Phase 2 
is in the process of being developed, and Phase 3 
remains undeveloped.

3.2 Relationship to Surrounding Properties
To the north and east of White Tank Foothills Phase 3 are White Tank Foothills Phases 1 and 2 
which consist of existing single-family homes as well as homes still under construction that 
are zoned R1-6 RUPD PAD and R1-7 RUPD PAD. To the south and the southeast, across Northern 
Avenue, are single-family homes zoned RU-43. West of the Site, across the Perryville Road 
Alignment, is Zanjero Trails which is currently undeveloped and zoned R1-6 RUPD PAD and

4. Plan Description
4.1 Proposed Land Use
This amendment seeks to change the land uses for the Site, which includes Parcels 3.11 through 
3.14. The current proposal breaks up the Site into nine (9) development parcels (Parcels 3.11 
through 3.19). Parcels 3.15 through 3.19, located internal to the Site, consist of the Small Lot 
Residential land use. Parcels 3.11 through 3.14 are located at the southern boundary of the Site 
and will consist of the Small Lot Residential and Transitional Lot land uses. The Transitional Lot 
land use designation was developed as a designation within the Comprehensive Plan after the 
most recent DMP amendment occurred. The Transitional Lot land use designation allows for 
density and intensity transitions between Small Lot Residential and Suburban land uses. The 
proposed changes are necessary to provide a wider variety of lot sizes and housing 
choices, including 5,750 square feet, 6, square feet, 7, square feet, 7,475 square feet, 
9,000 square feet, and 10,350 square feet. The Transitional Lot land use is proposed 
adjacent to Northern Avenue and Citrus Road to continue to ensure an appropriate density 
transition is provided adjacent to the existing large lot single-family residences.
As indicated in the following table, this application does not propose any changes to the land use 
designations or zoning for Phases 1 and 2 of White Tank Foothills. This application only proposes 
ĉďÌðũÆ­ĴðďĊĮĴďĴìÐqì­ĮÐǬă­ĊÌķĮÐÆ­ĴÐæďīðÐĮȤķĨÌ­ĴðĊæĴìÐĉĴďīÐŪÐÆĴwĉ­ăăOďĴtÐĮðÌÐĊĴð­ă

approved land use categories as currently shown. The Small Lot Residential and Transitional 
Lot land use categories will create additional housing options in the area and improve density 
transitions within the local context.

Continued development in the area and a high demand housing market supports the development 
of the site. The development of the Site promotes the success of the overall White Tank Foothills 
development. Current market conditions require quality communities with a variety of product 
types. The proposed site plan is conducive to these conditions and will provide buyers with 
ÌðŒÐīĮÐăďĴĮðšÐ­ĊÌŪďďīĨă­ĊďĨĴðďĊĮȣT­īāÐĴÆďĊÌðĴðďĊĮì­ŒÐÆì­ĊæÐÌĮðĊÆÐĴìÐwðĴÐœ­Į
zoned in 2003, and this amendment is necessary to implement a well-planned community that 
contributes to the overall success of the region. It is unlikely that the proposed development 
will have any negative impacts on the Site or surrounding area.
The Site continues to meet the intent of the County’s Comprehensive Plan as it did when it was 
rezoned in 2003 and amended in 2014. The proposed amendment will not negatively impact 
compliance with the Plan.
6. Conclusion
We believe that the White Tank Foothills Phase 3 project will be cohesive with the existing 
features and lifestyles found at the White Tank Foothills community and meet or exceed the 
expectations summarized in the White Tank and Grand Avenue Area Plan’s vision while meeting 
current homebuyer needs.

1.  Executive Summary
The White Tank Foothills master-planned community ("White Tank Foothills") is approximately 
640 acres located in Maricopa County ("the County"). 
This application from Northern Citrus, LLP is requesting an amendment to the zoning of White 
Tank Foothills. The amendment focuses on existing Phase 3 (Parcels 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, and 3.14). The 
amendment will rezone 232.28 gross acres (222.92 net acres) from R1-6 RUPD PAD, R1-7 RUPD 
PAD, R1-8 RUPD PAD, R1-18 RUPD PAD, and RU-43 PAD to R1-6 RUPD PAD, R1-7 RUPD PAD, R1-8 
RUPD and R1-10 RUPD PAD, to allow a single-family community located at the northwest corner 
of Citrus Road and Northern Avenue in White Tank Foothills Phase 3. The rezoning of Phase 
3 will be exclusive of the City of Surprise lift station, EPCOR well site, or White Tank Foothills 
HOA property ("the Site"). The Site is proposing 645 dwelling units (2.63 du/ac) within Phase 3, 
which will increase the overall number of lots within White Tank Foothills to 1,621 with an overall 
density of 2.53 du/ac. The current entitlements are 1,381 lots for an overall density of 2.16 du/ac. 
In addition to the proposed changes the amount of open space in Phase 3 has also increased 
from approximately 45 acres to 50+ acres. The proposed zoning districts will create additional 
housing options in the area and will transition densities between Phases 1 and 2 to the north 
and the adjacent properties south of Northern Avenue. The requested RUPD/PAD amendment 
will be accompanied by a DMP amendment application, which will be submitted and processed 
concurrently.
Considerable changes have been made to the proposed development plans in response to 
community feedback.  Those changes include:
• 
Modifying the previously approved road network to provide a new road (Harmont Drive) through 
Phase 3 from White Tank Mountain Boulevard to Citrus Road.
• 
Increasing the lot size of certain parcels in Phase 3 to be more compatible with the Phase 1 lots 
that are immediately adjacent to Phase 3:
• 
Parcel 3.11 – from 55-foot and 75-foot wide lots to 75- and 90-foot wide lots;
• 
Parcel 3.17 – from 55-foot wide lots to 65-foot wide lots; and
• 
Parcel 3.19 –from 45-foot wide lots to 65-foot wide lots.
•

certain lots adjacent to Phase 1 to single-story/24 feet only.
• 
Despite no restriction on RV garages, agreeing that if RV garages are constructed, they must 
be architecturally integrated into the design of the home and be of no greater height than the 
home itself.

White Tank Foothills: Project Narrative
2. Location Description
White Tank Foothills is located within Western 
Maricopa County. The 232.28 gross acre Site is a 
portion of the overall approximately 640-acre White 
Tank Foothills PAD Overlay. The Site is currently 
undeveloped land being used for agricultural 
purposes. To the north and northeast are Phases 
1 and 2 of White Tank Foothills, which have been 
completed or are currently under construction. 
White Tank Foothills is located approximately 2.4 
miles west of Arizona State Route 303 and 6.2 miles 
north of Interstate 10, both of which connect the 
Site to the greater Phoenix metropolitan area. The 
primary access to the Site is through the White Tank 
Mountain Boulevard within Phases 1 and 2, which 
connects to Seldon Lane and 183rd Avenue. From 
there the roads connect to Olive Avenue and Citrus 
Road. There are intentionally no access points into 
the White Tank Foothills community from Northern 
Avenue as was agreed to in the original RUPD/PAD 
zoning case (Condition ‘g’ of DMP200002).

3. Site Analysis
3.1 Existing Land Uses and Zoning
The White Tank Foothills Development Master Plan (DMP200002) was approved by the Board of 
Supervisors (BOS) on August 22, 2001. On July 2, 2003, the BOS approved a Major Amendment 
to the DMP for White Tank Foothills (DMP2002006) and Rezoning (Z2000136).
The 2003 RUPD and DMP amendment covered approximately 640 acres and included approximately 
482 acres of Small Lot Residential Use with a range of zoning districts from R1-6 RUPD to R1-8 
RUPD and lot sizes ranging from 6,000 square feet to 10,500 square feet; approximately 101 acres 
of Rural Residential Use with R1-18 RUPD zoning and lot sizes at 18,000 square feet; a 10-acre 
park; a 15-acre school site; 21.59 acres of Community Commercial (Parcel 1.1); and 8.45 acres of 
Neighborhood Commercial (Parcel 1.4). The total number of lots approved for White Tank Foothills 
was 1,381 single-family residential units at a density of 2.16 du/acre. 
In 2005, a second RUPD amendment was approved to address development standards (Z2000136). 
The purpose of the amendment was to address the location of the front setback in relation to 
the minimum required lot width for each non-standard lot. A third RUPD DMP amendment was 
approved in 2014 by the BOS (Z2013078). The 2014 amendment changed the commercial zoning 
on Phase 1 Parcels 1.1 and 1.4 to residential zoning. Phase 1 Parcels 1.1 and 1.4 were rezoned from 
ÆďĉĉÐīÆð­ăĴďtǪȸǯœìðÆì­ÌÌÐÌ­ĨĨīďŘðĉ­ĴÐăřĊðĊÐĴřȸũŒÐȲDzǮȳǯȤǩǩǩĮĪķ­īÐåďďĴăďĴĮȣ}ìÐ

parcels, brought the overall White Tank Foothills residential yield to 1,363 units, an approximate 
density of 2.13 du/acre. Since the 2014 RUPD approval, Phase 1 is mostly developed with the 
exception of Parcels 1.1 and 1.4, Phase 2 is in the process of being developed, and Phase 3 remains 
undeveloped.

3.2 Relationship to Surrounding Properties
To the north and east of White Tank Foothills Phase 3 are White Tank Foothills Phases 1 and 2 which 
consist of existing single-family homes as well as homes still under construction that are zoned 
R1-6 RUPD PAD and R1-7 RUPD PAD. To the south and the southeast, across Northern Avenue, 
are single-family homes zoned RU-43. West of the Site, across the Perryville Road Alignment, 
is Zanjero Trails which is currently undeveloped and zoned R1-6 RUPD PAD and R1-8 RUPD PAD.

4. Plan Description
4.1 Proposed Zoning
This request proposes to modify the zoning and development standards for the Site. The request 
proposes to rezone the Site from R1-6 RUPD PAD, R1-7 RUPD PAD, R1-8 RUPD PAD, R1-18 RUPD 
PAD, and RU-43 PAD to R1-6 RUPD PAD, R1-7 RUPD PAD, R1-8 RUPD, and R1-10 RUPD PAD Modifying 
the zoning for Parcels 3.11 through 3.19 will create a wider variety of lot sizes and housing choices, 
as well as a better density transition to adjacent sites. 
The Site will primarily consist of R1-6 RUPD PAD zoning with a small portion of R1-7 RUPD PAD 
zoning at the southern end of the Site adjacent to White Tank Mountain Boulevard. The proposed 
R1-8 RUPD zoning will only be located in Parcel 3.11. The proposed R1-10 RUPD PAD zoning will be 
adjacent to Northern Avenue and Citrus Road. The R1-10 RUPD PAD zoning will provide a buffer 
and density/intensity transition between the Site and the adjacent existing large lot single-family 
residences. 
As indicated in the following table, this application does not propose any changes to the zoning 
districts for Phases 1 and 2 of White Tank Foothills. The only amendments to the Site are for 
”ìðĴÐ}­Ċā9ďďĴìðăăĮqì­ĮÐǬĴìÐĨīďĨďĮÐÌĉďÌðũÆ­ĴðďĊĮĴďĴìÐt€q#šďĊðĊæ­ĊÌÌÐŒÐăďĨĉÐĊĴ
standards in order for the proposed site plan to improve density transitions within the local 
context.

* Yards along each street side of corner lots shall have a width equal to not less than half the depth of the required front yard.
** 5' setback adjacent to a 10' tract.
(1) The minimum front yard setback (or front yard) line for all "irregular" or non-rectangular shaped lots shall be established 
at the distance between the front property line and a line parallel to the street chord at the point where said line achieves the 
minimum lot width but in no case shall be less than minimum prescribed front yard line for each zoning district. 
The proposed changes are necessary to provide a wider variety of lot sizes and housing choices, 
including 5,750 square feet, 6,325 square feet, 6,900 square feet, 7,475 square feet, 9,000 square 
feet, and 10,350 square feet. The changes proposed to the Site under this rezoning increases the 
number of lots in Phase 3 from 387 to 645, a density of 2.63 du/ac. This proposal slightly increases 
the overall White Tank Foothills lot count from 1,363 to 1,621 units, an overall density to 2.53 du/ac.

streets, and a sixty-foot (60’) collector street as its street network. Access to the overall White 
Tank Foothills development is from the adjacent arterial street network from the following 
locations: one location along Olive Avenue at 183rd Avenue and a second location along Citrus 
Road at Seldon Lane, both of which are existing and intersect White Tank Mountain Boulevard. 
According to Condition ‘g’ of Z200002, Northern Avenue will not include any vehicular access 
points to the White Tank Foothills development per a previous agreement in the original PAD 
zoning case.
4.3.2 Pedestrian Circulation
The pedestrian paths and trail system for the Site are designed to provide for non-motorized 
circulation within the community. This will be achieved by using both sidewalks and concrete 
trails to create a network of routes through the community. Paved sidewalks along roadways 
are the primary form of pedestrian connectivity for the Site. Arterial streets including Northern 
Avenue, Citrus Road, and Perryville Road Alignment will be accompanied by ten-foot (10') 
detached concrete sidewalks that will connect the Site to surrounding neighborhoods. All

sidewalks on both sides of the road. These sidewalks will connect to, and be a continuation of, 
the existing detached sidewalks along the developed portion of White Tank Mountain Boulevard 
in Phases 1 and 2. Further, an eight-foot (8') concrete trail along the north/northeast boundary of 
the Site, will serve as a connection from the Site to the dedicated school site in Phase 2 and the 
10-acre White Tank Foothills Park in Phase 1. As described, the planned pedestrian circulation 
system facilitates open space, sidewalk, and trail connections to amenities and destinations 
in all Phases of White Tank Foothills. The increased pedestrian and bicycle activity will provide 
opportunities for social interaction and a stronger sense of community within the overall White 
Tank Foothills development.
4.4 Development Schedule (Phasing)
It is anticipated that the project will be built in multiple phases due in part to market absorption. 
Sub-phases may be considered to accommodate infrastructure construction and the construction

4.5 Open Space and Landscape
White Tank Foothills was approved to have a minimum of 97.30 acres of open space, 45 acres for 
Phase 3. This application proposes to provide an additional 5.7 acres of open space for Phase 3, 
increasing the Phase 3 open space total to 50.70 acres and the overall White Tank Foothills open 
space to 103. acres. These open spaces will be maintained by the community’s HOA. 
The open space system will provide active and passive recreational areas, access to an off-
site park, as well as provide drainage and retention for the community.  Within the open space

park conveniently located for residents to experience and explore. Landscape will provide shade 
for the walks, amenities, and buffer adjacent residential lots.
In addition to Phase 3 open spaces, the Site is conveniently located within walking and biking 
distance to Phase 1 and Phase 2 of White Tank Foothills, which have similar open spaces including 
a 10-acre neighborhood park in Phase 1. Further, all originally approved RUPD and DMP residential 
open space and landscape standards, requirements, and theming elements will be maintained 
and utilized for the amended parcels within Phase 3.

4.5.2 Entry Features and Monumentation
The Parcel Entry Sign Wall is a direct interpretation of the Parcel Entry Sign Wall at the existing 
White Tank Foothills community with the intent to be a seamless transition from the existing 
community to the Site. 
Due to the location of the Site in relation to the existing White Tank Foothills community, no 
other entry features, signage, or monumentation will be provided. Existing Primary Sign Walls 
are located at the arterial streets, Citrus Road and Olive Avenue as the Site is only accessible 
from Citrus Road or Olive Avenue.

the White Tank Foothills community. The dedicated school site has not been developed at the 
time of this amendment.
4.7 Existing Public Recreation Areas
To the northwest of the site lies the spectacular White Tank Mountain Regional Park, one of the 
largest regional parks in all of Maricopa County at 29,572 acres that features rugged mountain 
terrain, gentle foothills, open valley views, and a network of trails that lead to some of the most 
spectacular views in the Phoenix metropolitan area. The regional park includes areas for 
camping, picnics, volleyball, an extensive network of hiking and biking trails, and a seasonal 
waterfall is accessible via hike during the rainy season. The park offers an array of recreational 
and educational events on a regular basis including a starry night hike that visitors can enjoy 
unparalleled views of the city lights and the night sky.

4.9.3 Water
The White Tank Foothills Master Planned community is serviced by the EPCOR Water Company. 
EPCOR has existing infrastructure in the White Tank Foothills master-planned community and 
directly adjacent to the Site. As part of previous infrastructure agreements, the neighboring 
Cortessa Master Planned community and White Tank Foothills together set aside four (4) joint-
use well and treatment sites for the combined master-planned communities. The location of the 
four well sites is included as part of the overall water infrastructure. Of the wells, two (2) fully 
developed wells are in Cortessa, one (1) is fully developed in White Tank Foothills.  The well site 
labeled as number (4) is a no-development (currently undeveloped) obligation well site, though 
it has been dedicated to EPCOR for their development of a future well site.  For the waterline 
infrastructure, the Site will connect at four (4) locations to existing EPCOR infrastructure: to the 
existing twelve-inch (12”) water line within White Tank Mountain Boulevard (which is an existing 
waterline stub to the Phase 3 development from the northwest), the existing twelve-inch (12”) 
line in Seldon Lane (via eight-inch (8”) water stub provided to Phase 3 of the development in 181st
Avenue), to the existing eighteen-inch (18”) line in Citrus Road (which will be a new waterline tap 
servicing the Site), and a supplemental connection to an existing six-inch (6”) waterline in Northern 
Avenue at the Perryville Road alignment intersection.  This last connection will be a twelve-inch 
(12”) line that runs from White Tank Mountain Boulevard to the Northern Avenue and Perryville 
Road intersection location.  Upgraded waterline in Northern Avenue will be provided by EPCOR. 
Water demand calculations for the project will be based on system design criteria of the EPCOR 
design standards.  The system is designed to maintain normal operation pressures of forty (40)

of the drainage corridors/channels.  All drainage design is in accordance with the accepted 
Master Drainage Report for White Tank Foothills Phase 2 and Phase 3.
Within the White Tank Foothills Master-planned community is Phase 3, which is the only remaining 
phase of the overall community left to be platted.  As already mentioned, the existing sewer 
collection system for all of the Cortessa and White Tank Foothills developments is already 
installed.  With Phases 1 and 2 of White Tank Foothills, infrastructure sewer collection systems 
were installed in the main access road of the development, White Tank Mountain Boulevard.  The 
existing collection line for Phase 3 starts upstream in White Tank Mountain Boulevard with pipes in 
the collector street ranging from 8” to 12” diameter.  The downstream 12” diameter line discharges 
to the existing Lift Station at the southeast corner of the Phase 3 part of the development.  
The Existing Lift Station was designed and installed with the neighboring Cortessa development

Sewer Demands
As described, sewer demands in total to the gravity system are generated by the Cortessa 
development and the overall White Tank Foothills (Phases 1 – 3) development.  An original master 
sewer study by DEA for the overall system analysis for the collection system and lift station was 
prepared in 2004.  A summary of sewer demands is located in the table below, Table 1.

Originally, White Tank Foothills Phase 3 was allowed for 387 residential units (as referenced in 
Table 1, above).  With Maricopa County, re-zoning and preliminary plat are being processed under 
which conditions, White Tank Foothills Phase 3 is applying for 645 residential lots.  With new City 
of Surprise sewer demand rates updated since the development of Cortessa and White Tank 
Foothills Phases 2 and 3, Table 2 below shows the sewer demands of the additional proposed 
lots under the re-zoning, and as an update to the White Tank Foothills master plan:
