2. OVERVIEW
2.1 REQUEST:
Iplan Consulting, on behalf of Richmond American Homes, is pleased to submit for your
consideration an application for Planned Area Development (PAD) zoning, Preliminary
Development Plan (PDP), and a Preliminary Subdivision Plat for the approximate 11.9-acre (gr.)
property, generally located 600-feet east of the northeast corner of South McQueen Road and East
Willis Road. The property is further identified as Maricopa County Assessor Parcel Nos.: 303-
29-020, 303-29-031H and 303-29-031J.
More specifically, this Development Booklet complements the following requests for the property:
a) rezone the properties from City of Chandler AG-1 (Agriculture) to PAD for establishing use
and development standards; b) a PDP to establish design standards pertaining to landscape,
hardscape, and residential homes; and, c) preliminary subdivision plat to subdivide the real
property, described herein, into 57 single family lots.
The proposed Rezoning, Preliminary Development Plan and Preliminary Subdivision Plat is
dependent upon successful annexation into the City of Chandler.
2.2 SITE CONTEXT:
The property is bound by Las Casitas Del Sur, an existing single family residential subdivision to
the north, while the City of Chandler Water Treatment Facility is contiguous to the entire eastern
project boundary. East Willis Road, a local level street, is situated contiguous to the entire south
project boundary, while Hudson Crossings and Willis Gated Community, both single family
residential neighborhoods, are situated further south – across East Willis Road. The property is
further bound to the west by an undeveloped property, as well as, The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints religious facility.

3. PROJECT NARRATIVE
The purpose of this Development Booklet is to establish regulatory provisions and design criteria for the
approximate 11.9-acre Seasons at McQueen project to ensure development of the property for the desired
single family residential use conforms to the goals and policies of the Chandler General Plan.
3.1 INTRODUCTION:
The approximate 11.9-acre property has used been for agricultural and rural residential uses for a
considerable amount of time; however, continued growth and changes to the surrounding land uses patterns
have prompted the current ownership to relocate their agrarian uses elsewhere and rejuvenate this property
to complement and add value to the neighborhood. All three parcels have recently entered into escrow with
the primary goal of enhancing land use compatibility with the surrounding single family neighborhoods,
while maintaining high quality neighborhood and housing design expected for the area.
To fulfill this vision and ensure that high quality site, landscape and building design is implemented on the
property, the three parcels are currently proceeding through corresponding annexation into the Chandler
municipal boundaries.
3.2 GENERAL PLAN CONFORMANCE:
The Chandler General Plan - Future Land Use Plan Map classifies this property as Neighborhoods, which
land use category supports a range of residential densities (0 – 18 dwelling units per acre (DU/Ac.)) to support
a diverse mix of housing choices; and, nonresidential uses based on criteria specified in the General Plan.
Proposed rezoning of this 11.9-acre property from City of Chandler AG-1 to PAD contains several concepts
that respond to the 2016 Chandler General Plan – a Vision Refined. The bullet point list below summarizes
conformance with the overall vision; however, this is not meant to be an exhaustive list, rather a summary of
several notable features of conformance with the overall vision, guiding principles and core values:
Encourage compatible infill projects by:
• Rezoning the property to PAD to support appropriate single family infill for the underutilized property
that serves as both a compatible and transitional land use, as well as creating new opportunities for
much needed housing in the City. Although adjacent properties include a mix of land uses types and
densities, the residential properties immediately adjacent to the project area consists of residential
densities ranging from approximately 0.4 DU/Ac. (west); 2.3 DU/Ac. (north); and, 5.9 DU/Ac.
(south). Maintaining compatibility with contiguous land uses and densities, and promoting the vision
of the General Plan, a gross residential density of approximately 4.8 DU/Ac. is proposed for this infill
parcel {Community Placemaking Policies - Land Use and Development}.
Revised: November 2025 Seasons at McQueen | Rezoning – PDP | Preliminary Plat
Development Booklet | Page 19 of 70
Protect the low-density residential character of large lot neighborhoods by:
• Proposing a reasonable level of increased and graduated land use intensity from the existing single
family residential use to the north (Las Casitas Del Sur), to the more intense residential densities
located south of E. Willis Road. Additionally, an approximately 65-feet wide passive open space
area is proposed along the north side of the property, contiguous to the Las Casitas Del Sur
neighborhood, to foster desired transitional areas to assist in preservation of, and minimization of
impacts to, adjacent larger lot residential lifestyles to the north. {Community Placemaking Policies -
Land Use and Development; Focused Stewardship – Conservation and Environmental Planning
Policies}.
Address mitigation of the urban heat island effect, specifically relating to impacts on residents’ health,
by:
• Integrating xeriscape concepts and use of drought-tolerant plant materials and those compatible with
them through sensible design of the project’s landscape and corresponding open space areas; while
also methodically including natural turf in specified areas to serve both passive open space needs as
well as to minimize heat gain and heat retention within those areas. Additionally, street pavement
areas are minimized to only that which is necessary to ensure adequate circulation to meet the City’s
public safety access requirements. {Focused Stewardship – Conservation and Environmental
Planning Policies}.
Enhance pedestrian access to parks within and between neighborhoods by:
• Integrating appropriate pedestrian connectivity through use of multiple sidewalks and pathways
within the neighborhood, which pedestrian accessways link to the public sidewalk proposed along E.
Willis Road. Further, the E. Willis Road sidewalk will provide access to the existing community
recreational trail located along the Consolidated Canal, which is located approximately 750-feet east
of the project area, thereby enhancing mobility and accessibility for residents {Strategic Community
Building – Connecting People and Places Policies}.
In summary, the proposed rezoning request responds to the overall vision of the 2016 Chandler General Plan
– a Vision Refined by enhancing the built environment through establishing an attractive, sustainable and
environmentally responsible neighborhood all while increasing the quality of life for existing and future
residents.
3.3 ZONING:
The Chandler General Plan serves as a policy guide for orderly growth, land use, transportation,
infrastructure, and open space within the City, while also serving as a basis for the expenditure of municipal
funds. Implementation of the General Plan is based on fostering of the overall vision, guiding principles and
core values adopted by the community. Zoning of real property is the legal tool frequently used to implement
the General Plan vision. While conventional zoning of property is generally reasonable, this type of land use
regulation can conversely provide limitations on the ability of a project to creatively foster the vision,
principles and values of the community.
Revised: November 2025 Seasons at McQueen | Rezoning – PDP | Preliminary Plat
Development Booklet | Page 20 of 70
To successfully and sustainably facilitate the vision for and increase utilization of the property, the PAD
zoning designation is requested to allow reasonable solutions to develop the property while maintaining
compatible land use relationships; ensuring appropriate residential density transitioning, and, providing
appropriate design guidelines for the property.
Development standards and appropriate design guidelines are outlined in the below sections to provide for
enhanced land use compatibility and harmonious community form.
4. PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN
An integral part of the corresponding PAD zoning application is the Preliminary Development Plan (PDP)
request that demonstrates how the requested zoning will be implemented and if the proposed site development
standards are appropriate. The PDP for Seasons at McQueen illustrates a concerted effort by the land
entitlement advisor team to provide appropriate land use buffering and superior site and housing design
qualities, while enhancing compatibility with adjacent land use characteristics and promoting harmonious
community form.
4.1 SITE PLAN | PRELIMINARY PLAT:
The property is proposed to be subdivided for 57 single family residential lots on approximately 11.9-acres,
for a gross residential density of 4.77 DU/Ac. Typical lot size is approximately 4,200 square feet (sq. ft.).
The site plan has been methodically designed to provide appropriate access throughout the project, which
public accessway also serves as an appropriate buffer for the future residents from the City of Chandler Water
Treatment Facility. Neighborhood open space has been thoughtfully situated to provide active and passive
recreational opportunities within close proximity to all residential lots, as well as a provide passive buffer
area to the existing single family residential uses to the north.
The vehicular circulation system includes appropriate access; and, dedication and improvement of the
appropriate one-half street public right-of-way width for E. Willis Road.
4.2 CIRCULATION | ON-STREET PARKING:
Street design continues the overall project theme by respecting the land use and circulation characteristics of
the area while also providing safe vehicular and pedestrian circulation. Local level public streets are planned
to feed vehicular traffic via two separate access points off E. Willis Road, a local level right-of-way. The
interior local level streets are designed to loop within the neighborhood for adequate traffic distribution and
lot access. Design of the local level roadway cross-section complies with City of Chandler standards by
providing for a 35-feet back-of-curb to back-of-curb measurement with 5-feet wide attached sidewalks on
both street sides for a total right-of-way width of 50-feet. This City standard street cross-section also ensures
appropriate pavement width for maintaining sufficient refuse collection and emergency apparatus access,
while also facilitating adequate drainage.
Additional one-half street right-of-way street improvements are also required for E. Willis Road adjacent to
the south project boundary, which corresponding street improvements adjacent to the project area will
Revised: November 2025 Seasons at McQueen | Rezoning – PDP | Preliminary Plat
Development Booklet | Page 21 of 70
provide for a minimum pavement width of 35-feet back-of-curb to accommodate two-way traffic, as well as
curb, sidewalk and gutter.
Each dwelling unit will provide for a minimum driveway depth of 20-feet thereby sufficiently
accommodating two additional off-street parking spaces in front of the two enclosed garage spaces per
dwelling unit; however, additional on-street parking spaces have also been designed for, which space quantity
far exceeds the City’s minimum Parking and Loading requirements for on-street parking.
Streets have been designed to relate to existing topography to produce desirable lots of maximum utility and
streets of reasonable gradient, thus facilitating adequate drainage.
4.3 OPEN SPACE | LANDSCAPE:
A high quality yet distinctive design theme is interwoven throughout the entire project area through the
consistent use of design styles for entry monumentation and integrated project signage, hardscape features,
along with a unified and relatively low water use plant palette.
The proposed neighborhood provides for approximately 3.3-acres or 29% open space (net), which area
includes active amenities such as a covered play structures and one-half basketball court, along with passive
open space and landscape buffer areas. Passive open space areas will also include Ramadas and separate
bench seating, in addition to ample open play areas and pedestrian trails to serve passive needs.
A sense of neighborhood arrival has been thoughtfully accomplished through design of an entry node at the
western neighborhood access point off E. Willis Road, which includes architecturally designed entry
monumentation and signage, while also integrating metal landscape sculptures and complementary landscape
materials. Secondary entry monumentation and signage consisting of complementary forms and textures is
also incorporated off eastern neighborhood access – adjacent to the active amenity area.
Curvilinear retention basins are separated into three primary areas, adjacent to the western and eastern project
boundaries, to provide for greater visibility into the neighborhood; and, a larger linear greenbelt style
retention basin along the north project boundary that also serves as an appropriate buffer for the adjacent
neighborhood.
Supplementing turf areas for open play, additional landscape materials for the project are characterized by a
relatively arid palette including Acacia, Desert Willow, Wilson’s Olive, Chinese Pistache, Seedless
Mesquite, Holly Oak, Elm, Yellow Oleander, Chaste Tree and California Fan Palm combined with
complementary shrubs and ground cover.
Landscape materials are proposed within the neighborhood parks; along the contiguous E. Willis Road right-
of-way and corresponding 15-feet wide landscape tract; within the 10-feet wide landscape tracts where lots
side onto the internal streets; and, within the 25-feet wide buffer area adjacent to the Water Treatment
Facility. Planting design is further supplemented through the thoughtful placement of materials to create
useful shade as well as delineation of space within the open space.
Landscape design and minimum size of materials will meet or exceed provisions set forth in the Chandler
Zoning Ordinance.

Development Booklet | Page 22 of 70
4.4 WALLS | FENCES:
Design of the project theme walls include a combination of durable and integral colored split-face CMU,
painted split-face CMU, and integral colored smooth face CMU materials.
Primary theme (perimeter) wall heights are designed at a height of 6-feet, 2-inches; while the complementary
theme columns will be approximately 6-feet, 8-inches in height. Secondary (interior) project theme walls
are also designed at a height of 6-feet, 2-inches. All lot privacy walls, including side return walls, will be a
minimum of 6-feet tall and a maximum of 7-feet tall. In the case of adjacent lots with varying grades, a wall
located on the side or rear property line may be up to a height of 8-feet from the lowest finished grade adjacent
to the fence to ensure a minimum height of 6-feet is maintained on one side. All measurements are to be
taken from the inside of the lot.
On lot privacy walls should be erected prior to the owner of any lot taking possession of a residence and lot.
4.5 COMMON AREA MAINTENANCE
A Home Owners’ Association, or similar, will be established for the ownership, maintenance, landscaping,
improvements and preservation of all common and open space areas and landscaping within the rights-of-
way.

4.7 BUILDING ELEVATIONS | ARCHITECTURAL STYLE:
Richmond American Homes proposed housing product has been designed to emphasize style, design, quality
and livability. As illustrated in the following exhibits, 3 different two-story home designs are proposed
ranging in size from approximately 2,100 sq. ft. to over 2,400 sq. ft. Corresponding building elevations for
these 3 floor plans provide for varied architectural styles from Spanish, Craftsman and Western Cottage. A
minimum of 3 architectural styles are offered for each residential home for a total of over 9 different
elevations.
Superior design of these homes offers quality architectural elements that diversify the streetscape, while
recessed garage doors assist to de-emphasize the dominance of the garage in the streetscape. Architectural
features such as well-defined entryways, four-sided architecture, asymmetrical façade designs, varied
rooflines, architecturally integrated covered patios and use of stone veneers complement the appropriate
design styles. Faux stone, decorative vents, exposed corbels, lap siding, decorative canales, window shutters,
style specific window mullions and style appropriate sand finish stucco window pop-outs and focal window
recesses detailing also supplement the desired architectural characters.
In addition to the overall architectural elements provided, the varied architectural styles for Seasons at
McQueen provides for a multitude of choices that will further promote architectural diversity for the
neighborhood. Identifiable features and characteristics for the various architectural styles are summarized
below:

porch surfaces.
5. CONCLUSION:
The requested PAD zoning, Preliminary Development Plan, and Preliminary Subdivision Plat will enhance
the built environment, create an attractive community, and increase the quality of life for existing and future
residents, all while maintaining compatible community form and consistency with the overall vision, guiding
principles and core values of the Chandler General Plan.
We look forward to working with the City of Chandler to realize this effort.
