White Tank Foothills: Project Narrative
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

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, 6,600 square feet, 7,200 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 table on the following page, 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
ďĊăřĨīďĨďĮÐĮĉďÌðũÆĴðďĊĮĴďĴìÐqìĮÐǬăĊÌķĮÐÆĴÐæďīðÐĮȤķĨÌĴðĊæĴìÐĉĴďīÐŪÐÆĴwĉăă
Lot Residential and/or Transitional Lot land use categories. Phase 1 and Phase 2 will continue
ĴďīÐŪÐÆĴĴìÐĨĨīďŒÐÌăĊÌķĮÐÆĴÐæďīðÐĮĮÆķīīÐĊĴăřĮìďœĊ. 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.

}ìðĮĉÐĊÌĉÐĊĴĴďqìĮÐǬďåĴìÐìðĴÐ}Ċā9ďďĴìðăăĮ#TqœðăăÅÐĊÐũĴĊÌðĉĨīďŒÐĴìÐīÐæðďĊȣ
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
ÌðŒÐīĮÐăďĴĮðšÐĊÌŪďďīĨăĊďĨĴðďĊĮȣTīāÐĴÆďĊÌðĴðďĊĮìŒÐÆìĊæÐÌĮðĊÆÐĴìÐwðĴМĮ
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.

White Tank Foothills: Project Narrative
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. 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 the Northern Avenue. The requested RUPD/
PAD amendment will be accompanied by a DMP amendment application, which will be submitted and
processed concurrently.
Approval of this zoning request and amendment to the RUPD development standards will allow the Site to
continue to be developed as a high-quality residential community, which will be an attractive presence in

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 commercial to R1-6 which added

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. The General Plan Land Use

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 White Tank Foothills
qìĮÐǬĴìÐĨīďĨďĮÐÌĉďÌðũÆĴðďĊĮĴďĴìÐtq#šďĊðĊæĊÌÌÐŒÐăďĨĉÐĊĴĮĴĊÌīÌĮðĊďīÌÐīåďīĴìÐ
proposed site plan to improve density transitions within the local context.
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, 6,600 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.

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.

White Tank Foothills: Project Narrative
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

foot (5') detached concrete 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 of model

the Preliminary Plat submittal process.
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 4.35 acres of open space for Phase 3, increasing
the Phase 3 open space total to 50.36 acres and the overall White Tank Foothills open space to 101.65
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,

separate pocket parks accessible by a network of sidewalks making each 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.

processes. No lighting is proposed for any of the pocket parks or amenities due to the proximity to the
White Tank Mountains and due to concerns regarding light pollution.
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.

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.
4.8 Existing Libraries
The award-winning White Tank Library and Nature Center (that also is a trailhead for accessing the
White Tank Mountain Regional Park) is approximately four (4 miles) to the northwest from the Site. This
29,000 square foot library has a collection capacity of 35,000 books and has unparalleled panoramic
views of the White Tank Mountains.

Solid Waste Services are provided by Waste Management or other independent solid waste service
company whose franchise application is approved by the Homeowner’s Association.
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) psi minimum, and one hundred (100) psi maximum.

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 to the

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.

5. Conclusion
We believe that the Site 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.
2/26/2022
I no longer oppose White Tank Foothills development due to mitigations.
I have lived at 8113 N. Citrus Rd, Waddell, AZ 85355 for over 20 years. There is a great
concern with the high-density community, which will bring in a huge increase to the
traffic/noise levels to the already busy/race track, N. Citrus Rd. I hope the Board will
consider implementing a traffic design on N. Citrus Rd, which will lower the traffic, speed,
safety, and the potentials of Citrus Rd. being constructed next to the property lines of every
resident (Crystal Springs Community) that live on the eastside of N. Citrus Rd.
Thank you for your consideration,
Thomas Chin
