MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor and Town Council
THROUGH: William E. Farrell, Town Attorney and Acting Town Manager
FROM: Jesse Drake, Interim Director of Community Development J b
DATE: January 31, 2002
SUBJECT: Consideration of a lot join for " Final Plat 433, Block 1, Lots 9 and 10".
This request is for final plat approval of a replat for Final Plat 433, Block 1, Lots 9 and 10, a lot join project.
Approval would eliminate the lot line between Lots 9 and 10 and allow the new, larger lot to be known as
Final Plat 433, Block 1, Lot 9A.

TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS
STAFF REPORT
February 7, 2002
CASE NO: S2001-33
LOCATION: Lots 9 and 10, Block 1, Final Plat 433
REQUEST: Consideration of a lot join project consisting of a replat that would join Final Plat 433,
Block 1, Lots 9 and 10.
DESCRIPTION:
OWNER: First United Methodist Church of Fountain Hills/
The Fountains, A United Methodist Church
APPLICANT: First United Methodist Church of Fountain Hills/
The Fountains, A United Methodist Church
EXISTING ZONING: "R1-35"
EXISTING CONDITION: Lot 9-vacant land, Lot 10-existing single family house
LOT SIZE: 3.36 acres
SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING:
NORTH: Ftn.Hills Unified School District #98 lease from State Land Department
SOUTH: Single family residence and vacant land, zoned "R1-8"
EAST: Faith Worship Center, zoned "C-1"
WEST: Single family residence, zoned "R1-35"
SUMMARY:
This request is for final plat approval of a replat for Final Plat 433, Block 1, Lots 9 and 10, a lot join project.
Approval would eliminate the lot line between Lots 9 and 10 and allow the new, larger lot to be known as
Final Plat 433, Block 1, Lot 9A. Due to the simplicity of this request a "fast track" process is being allowed.
The owner, the First United Methodist Church of Fountain Hills/The Fountains, A United Methodist
Church, has chosen to reconfigure these lots by combining the lots into one lot. The reconfiguration of these
lots will allow for greater flexibility in the construction of the new church facilities and parking areas. The
new lot will meet all the requirements of the "R1-35" Zoning District for size and dimensions. If approved,
the existing single-family residence on Lot 10 will be remodeled for part of the Church office and classroom
facilities during phase one of the Church construction.
RECOMMENDATION:
The proposed lot is in compliance with the regulations of The Town of Fountain Hills Zoning Ordinance.
Staff recommends approval of replat S2001-33 "Final Replat of Lots 9 & 10, Block 8, Final Plat 433".

RE: Drainage Easement Abandonment 2002-01; Resolution 2002-08
Summit Estates LLC, d/b/a Crestview at Fountain Hills
(a subsidiary of MCO Properties)
Lot 16, Crestview at Fountain Hills
14541 E. Sierra Alegre Court
MCO Properties
This item on the Town Council's agenda is a proposal to abandon the existing drainage
easement, as shown in Exhibit "A", located on the northerly part of Lot 16, Crestview at Fountain
Hills (14541 E. Sierra Alegre Court). The property owner, Summit Estates L.L.C., will grant a
replacement drainage easement, as shown in Exhibit "B", attached for the Council's information.
The lot developer wants to reconfigure the drainage easement to be able to better place a
proposed house on the lot. Staff has reviewed the developer's (MCO) engineer's drainage
report; the replacement easement is adequate to contain and convey, by storm drain, the
drainage flow,
By redesigning the drainage to flow in a 18" storm drain, instead of an open channel, the
drainage easement can be reduced to the 20' width shown in the attached Grant of Easement.
Maintenance of the storm drain (or the previous drainage channel) is the responsibility of the
Homeowners' Association in this gated community. Staff has received no comments to date
from the adjacent property owners,
The Engineering Department has reviewed the site to ascertain any other drainage issues in
addition to the Town's general interest in the easement. It is the professional opinion of the
Engineering Department that the new proposed drainage easement alignment is acceptable
to replace, by separate instrument, the existing drainage easement proposed to be
abandoned.

Chron 005
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution 2002-08, subject to the following stipulations:
• That the developer construct, and that MCO and/or the applicable Homeowners'
Association accept, the maintenance responsibility for the storm drain.
• Grant of the replacement drainage easement for the storm drain.
• The abandonment will be recorded by the Town upon satisfactory completion and
restoration of the work, or upon satisfactory posting of an adequate bond by the Developer,

kept within the event area. Marshal Gendler has performed his investigation and forwards a
favorable recommendation (Please see enclosed memo from Steve.) Staff recommends

As an additional fundraiser, the Chamber of Commerce has again submitted an application for a
special event liquor license to host a "beer garden" in conjunction with the Great Fair. The tent

on the median west of the Verde River/Avenue intersection. The hours are from 11:00 a.m. to
6:00 p.m. on all three days of the Great Fair, February 22 through 24, 2002. The area around

Bueno Restaurant located at 13207 North La Montana Drive. Mr. Sanchez is the new owner of the
existing business, formerly owned and operated by Joyce Szeliga and Jim Wilson. Although the
former establishment had a liquor license, Mr. Sanchez must apply for a new license. Marshal
Gendler has performed his inspection and confirms that the premise satisfies the statutory
requirements of a Class 12 license (please see attached memo from Steve). The premise has been
posted for the 20-day statutory period and no written arguments have been received at Town Hall.
Mr. Sanchez has also obtained a Fountain Hills business license. Based on statutory compliance,
staff recommends approval,

Fountain Hills Memorandum
TO: Cassie Hansen
FROM: Steve Gendler
DATE: January 22, 2002
SUBJECT: Special Event Liquor License - American Legion
The purpose of this memorandum is to endorse the attached application submitted by the American
Legion Post of Fountain Hills. They have requested a special event liquor license for Friday,
February 22°d through Sunday, February 24d' to coincide with the Chamber of Commerce "Great
Fair". It is my understanding that this issue will go before the Council at their meeting on November
15th.
I am recommending approval based on the following factors:
1. The American Legion Post has a valid class 14 (club license) in place at 16837 Parkview.
According to the state liquor department, organizations with a class 14 license are
permitted up to 10 days per year in which they are eligible for a special event license
allowing public liquor sales. At all other times, the class 14 allows sale to members and
guests only. A review of the record indicates that this will be the second and third such
request for the calendar year and will bring their total to 3 of the 10 love they are allowed
for special events in 2002.
2. During the time frames specified on the permits, the American Legion in effect suspends
their class 14 license and replaces it by the special event permit for those hours specified.
The American Legion officials apparently understand that since they have included a
written statement foregoing their class 14 license during the special event period.
3. In previous investigations, we have found that the American Legion has met all the legal
requirements under the Arizona Revised Statutes for both a liquor license and temporary
permit. This included covert monitoring by state liquor agents and overt monitoring by the
Marshals Department to ensure compliance with provisions of the special event license.
Nothing has been found which would prohibit granting of this permit.
Based on the factors outlined above, I recommend approval by the Council on February 7th.

TO: Cassie Hansen
FROM: Steve Gendler
DATE: January 24, 2002
SUBJECT: Special Event Request - 2002 Great Fair
The purpose of this memorandum is to endorse the attached special event request from the Fountain
Hills Chamber of Commerce. The request covers the annual Great Fair scheduled for February 22nd
through 24th. It is my understanding that this will be considered at the Council session on February
7th. I am recommending approval of this request based on the following factors:
1. I have met with Sharon Morgan and Peggy Affolter, Event Coordinators for the
Chamber of Commerce, who have provided an overview of their security needs for the
upcoming event. A comprehensive law enforcement plan is being developed utilizing
components of the Marshals Department and Sheriffs Office to meet those needs and all
costs will be funded by the Chamber of Commerce.
2. Traffic provisions have been arranged in conjunction with the Sheriffs Office. The
Marshal's Department will provide traffic control in the area around the event with help
from the Posse, and handle parking in the north lots. The Sheriffs office will provide
traffic control in the area around Fountain Park and handle any parking issues that arise
in the area of Plaza Fountainside. Any expenses relating to law enforcement efforts in
traffic and parking will be funded by the Chamber of Commerce.
3. I have met with fire officials to work out an emergency medical services plan to include
in recommendations to the Chamber of Commerce. All public safety provisions will be
addressed under that plan, at the Chamber of Commerce expense, and I am satisfied with
its components.
4. Parking provisions have been made under an arrangement with the Plat 208 property
owners to the south and MCO Properties to the north of Avenue of the Fountains. This
will allow free parking for visitors as well as a valet service and eliminate parking fees
which were a source of complaints at the Fall Festival in November. In addition, there is
ample on -street parking so that needs of handicapped visitors can be accommodated.
6. The Chamber of Commerce has made arrangements to contract for a signs and markings
which will direct visitors to the event. This has been reviewed and approved by my
department.
7. Provisions have also been made with Tony Marchese for traffic barricades to close
Saguaro at El Lago and Parkview. In addition, Avenue of the Fountains will be closed at
Verde River Drive and La Montana Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.
Recommendation: Under the public safety plan developed in conjunction with the Chamber of
Commerce, all costs for law enforcement and fire services will be covered by the event organizers.
49 I believe the event is well planned, will reflect credit on our community, and represents an
opportunity for civic clubs, social groups, and town merchants to benefit. I recommend approval.

common area parking lots, including damage to curbs caused by fairgoers during both the Fountain
Festival and Great Fair events. The Chamber will continue to use dirt ramps to minimize damage to
curbs. Prior to each event a representative from the Chamber together with a representative of the
Plat 208 Property Owners will inspect the common parking areas to note existing damages. After the
conclusion of the event, the same representatives will inspect the common parking areas to note any
new damage caused by fairgoers. Dirt ramps will be removed and correction of damages will
commence within 10 days after the date of the inspection.
7.
The Fountain Hills Chamber of Commerce also agrees to coordinate the use of the common
parking area lots by submitting the schematic plan to the Plat 208 Board of Directors at the same
time that the plan is submitted to the Town of fountain Hills.
8.
The Plat 208 Property Owners Association will allow the Fountain Hills Chamber of Commerce to
utilize the rented lots without restriction as to parking during the time of this agreement (except as
noted in Item 4 above).

Memo
To: Cassie Hansen
From: Steve Gendler 41J/
Date: 1 /31 /2002
Re: Special Event Liquor Permit — Chamber of Commerce
The purpose of this memorandum is to endorse the attached special event liquor permit
submitted on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce by Frank Ferrara, Executive Director. It is
my understanding that this will be considered by the Council at their meeting on February 7th.
Background: The liquor permit would be used in conjunction with the Great Fair, from Friday
February 22nd-Sunday February 24th, which is also scheduled for review by the Council at
their meeting on February 71h. The special event liquor license is permitted for non-profit
organizations as an exception to the Arizona Revised Statutes, Title 4. The Chamber of
Commerce is a tax-exempt organization holding IRS number 86-0336429.
Investigation: According to the state liquor department, this event will fall under the
provisions of R19-1-244 in which qualifying organizations are allowed a total of 10 days per
year for special event permits. According to our records, this application represents only
three of the ten days allowed in 2002
Since the liquor license will be used in conjunction with a larger event (the Great Fair), two
important provisions apply. First, 25% of the gross revenues from any alcohol sales must go
to the non-profit organization; and, second, the alcohol must be purchased from a qualified
off -premise source rather than a wholesaler. The requirement that the alcohol be purchased
from a retailer is outlined in R19-1-250(a) and specifies that the source have a class 6,7,9,or
10 license such as Price Club, Bashas or Safeway.
Findings: In reviewing overall plans for the Great Fair, where the liquor will be available in a
"beer garden" setting, the Marshals Department is satisfied that there is adequate control and
provisions to prevent minors from having access to intoxicating beverages. The Chamber will
have the area fenced, limited access, and a system in place to control alcohol sales using
officers from the Marshals Department. Moreover, the same plan was used at the Fall
Festival in November without incident.
Recommendation: Based on the Chamber meeting all legal requirements for non profit,
charitable and exempt organizations; their awareness that alcohol must be purchased
through a licensed retailer; and provisions in place to restrict access of alcohol by minors, I
recommend approval by the Council at their February 7th meeting.

Town of Fountain Hills Memorandum
TO: Cassie Hansen
FROM: Steve Gendler
DATE: January 14, 2002
SUBJECT: Liquor License Application — Que Bueno Restaurant
------------------------------------------------------------------
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide an endorsement of the attached Liquor License
Application for the new "Que Bueno Restaurant" to be located at 13207 LaMontana. It is my
understanding that the application is scheduled for consideration at a special council session on
February 7th.
This application reflects the sale of Que Bueno restaurant and transfer of class 12 license
#1207391 to the new owners under the specifications of ARS 4-205.02. A Class 12 license is
for restaurant use only.
The statutes require that 40% of the business establishment be devoted to serving food and
that liquor sales be incidental to the food service. A site inspection, as well as a review of
plans, shows clearly that over 60% of the establishment is devoted to service of food.
A Class 12 license is also exempt from restrictions relating to churches, schools and nearby
liquor establishments. While the site inspection showed no churches or schools in the
immediate area, there are several other liquor license holders in the immediate area.
However, that is consistent with a developing downtown area and not a consideration for
class 12 license.
The applicant, Ausencio Sanchez, is an Arizona resident under the provisions of ARS Title
28. I have verified that he has no outstanding wants or warrants. I have also verified that the
co-owner, Lorenza Flores is also a resident with no wants or warrants.
Additionally, the restaurant has a current town business license #0099 valid through January
31, 2002. However, since this is a change in ownership, and the business license is non-
transferable, Mr. Sanchez will have to re -apply.
Based on compliance with Title 4 relating to the Class 12 liquor license, the fact that the
applicant is an Arizona resident with no wants or warrants, I recommend approval by the
Council at their February 7th session.

STAFF REPORT
TO: Mayor and Council
Acting Town Manager
Town Clerk
FROM: William E. Farrell®
Town Attorney
DATE: February 7, 2002
RE: Resolutions 2002-09 & 2002-10
May 21", 2002 Election
Building A.
16838 E. Palisades Blvd.
Fountain Hills, AZ 85268
This memorandum will cover both Resolutions 2002-09 & 2002-10 which basically set forth the
ballot language for the two questions previously authorized by the Town Council to go to the
qualified electors of the Town at the general election on Tuesday, May 21", 2002.
Resolution 2002-09 sets forth the ballot language for our permanent base adjustment. As you will
recall it was Staff's recommendation that the base expenditure limitation of the Town be raised by
approximately $6,000,000 from $14,500,000 to $20,500,000. Staff recommended this amount based
primarily on $2.4 million dollars of additional expenditures from the general fund for the
maintenance of fire and emergency medical service each year and an additional $3.6 million dollars
divided equally among capital project for senior center, parks and recreation and street maintenance.
The actual ballot question will be phrased in terms of a $1,000,000 adjustment to the base. This is
because the constitutions and statutes which allow for this type of an adjustment make it retroactive
to the year 1979/1980 or in the Town's case to our incorporation in 1989/1990.
Our first and permanent base limit for expenditures was $3,302,273. That number has grown to
$14,000,000 by state formula and will continue to increase by the state formula that measures base
limit for all communities in the state. In order for the Town to have a $20,500,000 base it would be
necessary to raise the original 1989/1990 base limit from $3,302,273 to $4,302,273 or a raise of
exactly $1,000,000. Projections show that the $4,302,273 base will actually give the Town a base
limit slightly over $20,000,000 and slightly less than $20,500,000. It is estimated by Staff that it
will be sufficient for future Council's to carry out the programs they may desire to at budget time
assuming that funds are aavailable.
Staff Report
February 7, 2002
Re: Resolutions 2002-09 & 2002-10
May 21', 2002 Election
Page 2
Resolution 2002-10 covers the initial property tax question and sets the base amount of property tax
to be raised at $2,400,000. There has been considerable discussion during the past several weeks
regarding how this will effect property taxes and it still remains the opinion of Staff that some taxes
will increase slightly, some will decrease slightly and some will remain the same but that the net
effect of the property tax on all property in the Town of Fountain Hills will be zero as this is a
substitution of a Town tax for an existing fire district tax that will not be levied next year.
Staff intends to continue report to Council on a regular basis the effects of the possible new assessed
values that have been described in various newspaper articles. Basically the new assessed values
will mean that the actual tax levied by the Town should the voters approve a property tax will most
likely be less than the $1.09 that is being used for calculation purposes to allow folks to determine
what their property taxes would have been last year had this new property tax already been
approved.
Both resolutions contain the emergency clause for the stated purpose that it is necessary to get this
information to the Auditor General for review and to the printers for publicity pamphlets required
in connection with these resolutions.
Therefore, Staff respectfully requests that Council give their affirmative vote to both resolutions.
As always Staff will attempt to answer any questions Council may have regarding either issue.

TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS
MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor and Common Council
THROUGH: Roy Pederson, Acting Town Manager
FROM: Jason Sanks, Planne6z?
DATE: February 1, 2002
SUBJECT: Consider the request for a guest house as a special use in the "R1-35" Residential Zoning
District (S2001-17 "Calvin Guest House")
The request is for approval of a Special Use Permit, which would legalize Mr. Calvin's existing guest
house and enable him to request a building permit with the Town of Fountain Hills. Please refer to the
attached Planning and Zoning Commission & Staff report for additional details regarding this request.
TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND STAFF REPORT
FEBRUARY 7, 2002
CASE NO: SU2001-17
LOCATION: 16648 N. Boulder Drive, aka Final Plat 505-C, Block 1, Lot 28
REQUEST: Special Use Permit to allow a guest house in the "R1-35" Residential Zoning District.

EXISTING CONDITION:
LOT SIZE:

Existing single-family residence

SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING:
NORTH:
Existing single-family residential; zoned "R1-10"
SOUTH:
Mountain Wash, Existing single-family residential; zoned "R1-35"
EAST:
Mountain Wash, Vacant; zoned "R1-35"
WEST:
Mountain Wash, Vacant; zoned "R1-35"
SUMMARY:
The request is for approval of a Special Use Permit, which would legalize Mr. Calvin's existing guest house
and enable him to request a building permit with the Town of Fountain Hills.
The applicant has the property for sale, listing a guest house as one of the amenities. Staff researched the
approved plans (BP1998-1660), and found that the RV garage/workshop had been modified to include
improvements completed after the property had received a final inspection in July of 2000. The
modifications included plumbing fixtures and appliances for a bathroom and kitchen.
The property is currently in violation of both Town Code and the Zoning Ordinance, because the owner has
neither a Special Use Permit for the guest house nor a building permit for what he constructed. Should the
applicant secure a Special Use Permit from the Town, he could then apply for a building permit to legalize
these already completed improvements.
EVALUATION:
The "R1-35" Single -Family Residential District allows for low -density single-family land uses. As such,
the Town of Fountain Hills Zoning Ordinance identifies principal permitted uses in the "R1-35" zoning
district as single-family dwellings, churches, schools, parks, playgrounds and other community facilities.
The Town of Fountain Hills Zoning Ordinance contains the following definitions:
A Guest House is described as "Living or sleeping quarters within an accessory building for the sole use
of occupants of the premises, guests of such occupants or persons employed on the premises. The
accessory building may be attached to or detached from the main building. Such quarters shall not be
rented, and/or otherwise used for income producing purposes."
A Building, > Accessory is described as "A building or structure that does not share a livable, enclosed
connection to the main building, and that is subordinate to, and the use of which is customarily incidental
to, that of the main building, structure, or use on the same lot or parcel."
As shown on the site plan, the guest house is completely detached from the primary structure. Access to
the house is down the driveway of the primary structure and then splits off to the second unit. The
applicant has identified the use of this structure as guest quarters and a RV garage. By definition, an
accessory structure used for the occupants and their guests is a "guest house".
In the Town of Fountain Hills Zoning Ordinance, Section 10.02.C: Guest Houses are permitted in any
Single -Family Zoning District, by Special Use Permit, if all of the following conditions exist:
1. Structure must conform to at least minimum setback requirements. (conforms)
2. Must be located behind the front line of the primary structure. (emphasis added — does
not conform))
3. May not exceed thirty (30) percent of the square footage of the livable area of the
primary structure. (conforms)
4. Shall be single story (conforms).
5. Must be connected to primary structure's utilities (conforms).
6. The lot or parcel must be at least 70,000 square feet in size (conforms).
7. May not be used for any commercial or non-residential uses (conforms).
The Planning and Zoning Commission discussed their disappointment with the applicant's disregard for
Town Codes by building (sewer, plumbing, electric, framing, etc.) without a permit. The overall consent of
the Commissioners was that the owner should be aware of these requirements since he is a builder. Mr.
Calvin built both the home and the RV Garage. He also made the illegal improvements to the garage when
he converted it into a guest house.
The Planning and Zoning Commission discussed that an approval of a Special Use Permit for this guest
house is not possible because the site plan does not meet the conditions specified in Section 10.02.C(2) of
the Town of Fountain Hills Zoning Ordinance.

purpose of request; We would like to convert the storage area of the lower
Rv garage to a guest casita- mother-in-law suite. The RV garage was
completed with the main residence in 2000.
Description of proposal; We want to have a full bath, small bedroom and
open living-kithenette area for regrigerator, sink and microwave. A
spiral staircase will access a small s6nrage loft with a 6 foot ceiling.
When the lower garage was completed , the electric panel was inspected and
lighting to the patio, fire sprinklers were installed per cotie and in-
spected. Remodeling will involve interior partial walls , a bath ,
AC system. The outside landscaping and appearance from the outside or
the street will be unchanged. Only interior changes axe to be made.
Relationship to surrounding properties; We are located accross the wash
from the Phoenician - which has a special use permit for a bed and break-
fAst. The lower garage is at the bottom of our 2 acre lot. We have
spoken to the neighbors behind us who have no objection. The two
neighbors accross the street from us also have 2 acre lots, it is at
the end of Boulder Drive. We do not belive it would adversly affect
anyone.
Development schedule; pie would like to proceed as soon as possible.
Circulation system; A ground installed AC unit will be used and screened
from view with a black wall, stuccoed and painted to match the house and
extensive retaining walls.

What do you like most about Fountain Hills?
Small town atmosphere
Beauty (Fountain Park)
Friendly people
Quiet, small community, close to large malls
Quietness and natural life
Small town -open space and views
Location to enjoy mountains,'weather and residents
Small town feel close to open space
The closeness with nature
Mountain views all around
Small town, free from pollution, little traffic, low crime
It is a Town setting, without the hodge-podge of commercial sites and stores
The small community feel and physical reality
Small town atmosphere, friendly
Quiet, small town
Scenery & nature
Separate from the "cities"/small town
Location
Remote -quiet community
It's natural beauty & the natural washes
We were attracted to the town of Fountain
former Park Director, R. Goodman.
The size, look feel and people
View and open spaces
Quiet neighborhoods scenery
Hills by the beautiful parks, managed by
(and of course, the VIEWS!)
Physical beauty (mountains, desert, open space)
Not much. Convenience to Scottsdale, officials re -invent the wheel
What other communities do you consider successful?
Why?
Danville and Walnut Creek, Ca: very beautiful, but now too many people
DC Ranch -they are sensitive to the environment and they started with a unified plan
Carefree -Tourism and the high quality of life, Smaller parks do not offer enough room
for everyone., Business can feed off of one another, Get it in the downtown
area and it will stimulate entertainment and services in that area
Gilbert's downtown area -old lampposts, western theme store fronts (mostly Aspen,
Colorado, most beautiful)
None -no community has what the Town offers, Large parks can be developed and
expanded, Our town is not that big an it would cause people congregate, for the
reason stated above
Rio Verde & Tonto Verde -Well managed and planned. Go see for yourself, better
managed, control, and upkeep, have living separate from commercial
We selfishly prefer not to see large commercial development, which provides
employment opportunities, of course, for the reasons above. We do like to see
quality entertainment, restaurants and very small shops, however, with a small
amount of professional services
We left Scottsdale after many years of residency because of the commercial
development. Now it only seems Fountain Hills can offer that community feeling
Carefree, Prescott
Scottsdale -lots of parks & events, Keep commercial together to help preserve the
natural feel of housing areas
Foothills -has excellent mix of facilities, make it less attractive to hoards of ethnic
visitors, such as the current situation at Fountain Park, small pockets become
useless two-bit services, It encourages useless small and uncompetitive retail
outlets
Scottsdale, Az. 50 years ago - Nice parks, shopping, good restraints, recreational
opportunities (high quality of life), The more open space, the better. A
combination of small neighborhood parks, and adding a 51h or 6th larger park
would be desirable., Keeps traffic out of neighborhoods, This works well for
European communities, it may work very well for us. It is a unique idea that
would promote efficient use of limited space downtown.
Scottsdale - Art/dining/community
Can't think of any
Scottsdale - keeps improving
What types of employment should Fountain Hills try to attract?
How?
Just get Target built!
Engineering/aerospace
Office work
Services that do not require local business only
Get fiber optics installed
Advertise in national media
Good chefs
Tourism related- Focusing on FH being a great place to travel to. Especially for small
conventions where the group could use the new Community Center and stay at
the SWI and CW. Again, promote FH as a great place t visit and offer incentives
to the tourism industry.
B.Dalton bookstore, Michael's, P.F. Changs, also a riding stable.
Small businesses
Technology -By offering incentives for company's to relocate, advertise, by having
business centers
We are not here to be a workplace, but a place to live without the clutter of most cities -
Stop the needless projects like Target, etc, N/A, Proper zoning and enforcement
We selfishly prefer not to see large commercial development, which provides
employment opportunities, of course, for the reasons above. We do like to see
quality entertainment, restaurants an very small shops, however, with a small
amount of professional services
Professional. So people can live & work in this town
1) Business 25-50 people 2) Higher Education
Clean & quiet businesses that don't detract from our quality of living
Small 2-10 businesses -affordable rents so they rent & don't work out of their homes,
share more- invite low key people to get involved -I've never heard of a
Welcome group that charges to become a member -Welcome Wagon should
invite & promote newcomers, not charge them to be a member. It should be an
off shoot of the Chamber for ALL people, not just wealthy or mouthy. I have a
friend who offered 3 yrs in a row to help light candles & she never even got
acknowledged so says she's not volunteering for anything as long as the town is
too stuck up. So a phone call would have been a blessing. If that happened to
others, then...
Professional offices -become a self-contained town, become a self-contained town with
an infrastructure, instead of letting people do everything in Scottsdale., do not
locate housing in shopping centers and industrial areas
We need to be a 'destination" town, (art galleries, high -end hotels which bring in large
room -tax revenues)
Not sure
White collar, upscale
Technology, professional services - /environment will attract employees., expand
advertising, brochures, zoning
Large private secondary school
Service, high tech, biotech, non-polluting
End ghetto type Goodwill, cigarette shops, "slumlord", cheap rents, make Basha center
more contemporary, update - we have under the table money people here
What -types of recreational opportunities should Fountain Hills try to attract?
How?
Public Pool, near the fountain or water slide on Shea
Maybe a 50's drive-in restaurant
Hiking/bicycle trails
AMC theatre
Movie theater, try to get AMC to come in
Establish local outing club
Recognize total availability to all types of outdoor recreation -within 5 hours to
anywhere -Baja to White Mountains
Swimming -public pool
Family oriented such as a railroad park, and tour operators
None -Ft. McDowell is doing that. Oh, movie theatre
Movie theatre, computer game store for teenagers
What do you mean by opportunities?
We'd like to see a community swimming and exercise facility available, Small movie
theatre would also be nice
What we have is fine
Does good job now
Outdoor events, parks & the Arts
Events that bring in many different cultures and ages which are affordable to them all -
not Rio Verde entrance fees but general public entrance fees
Cinema, swimming pool
Community -public swimming pool
Follow the recommendations set forth by the Parks and Recreation Commission and
Parks Director. See above, Zoning and ordinances, Not sure. How do other
towns do it?
Ourtdoor at McDowell Mountain Park and Outdoor festivals at lake
Hiking, bicycling
None there is lots to do already
Hiking, open space
Too late - already done
Is the housing mix adequate for the Town?
Need more moderate priced homes (not tract)
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes. It's possible no more apts are needed
Yes
No
It is ok, but want to be sure that it maintains a certain quality standard so that it will be
well maintained in the long run and does not develop "run down" neighbors as
happens in the larger communities
No more apartments
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
No. There are far too many apartments and condos
Yes
Seems so
What is unique about Fountain Hills?
Small town, but close to most needs
The fountain
Our fountain
Small percent development type housing
Topology
Location between reservation/county park, and McDowell Mtns
Close to big city amenities but quiet and rural feeling
Being surrounded by nature while being so close to a metro area
It's beauty -mountain, hills, world's highest fountain
Small town atmosphere and pleasant people
Too many apartment units
The size, the beauty and accessibility and friendliness of the community
Scenery & fountain
Well, at this point, its incompetent governmental leadership would be one; however,
it's beauty by which it is surrounded & inability to expand further due to that -it'
great
Location
Total disregard of speed limits
Its beauty. I am amazed that the town leaders haven't discovered the town's beauty
and tried to get 3 or 4 high -end hotels here. We have views, and the natural
desert. Hotel -spas should be encouraged to build here. The areas around the
hotels in Phoenix (& Scottsdale) have long lost their appeal. We have so much
more to offer. They (hotels) would also be "cash cows" for us.
Friendly neighbors and 'residents, great park system under previous Parks Director, R.
Goodman, beautiful desert and mountain views, great hiking, great off -leash
recreational area (dog park)!
Views, size, quality
Limited size, natural environment
Not much anymore. It is becoming like all other places in the U.S. - too bad!
Location, physical beauty, access to but separation from the city
Incredibly dumb decisions, no handicapped accessibility
What type of land use decisions negatively impact the Town?
Building on the ridge -across from park -UGH!
Putting the new Senior Center in the area on Kiwanis Dr.
More high density housing
Poor control of types of businesses in downtown area
Allowing high profile -intense colored business buildings to be built
Building on the mountains
Building on the mtns-Sunridge canyon in the McDowells, behind the fountain
Multiple same businesses
Target, this is not a big city, nor do we want it to be
Any large-scale commercial development and building on too much of the hills and
mountains. This destroys the whole look and feel of Fountain Hills. While we
know that shoppers bring revenue to the town, they also bring problems, trash,
crime, transients, etc. Like to keep it for the town residents that care about it
and take care of it
Developing mountain land, big box stores, apartments
Buildup of hillside slopes
Those that destroy the desert instead of complimenting it
(paying 13 million for land) Having wealthy people able to manipulate the board &
eventually change policy which was decided as the town developed; promises
were made about the mountains being left open & theses promises get voided
by who knows who &pays up who knows who, so each valued mountain that
was promised as a preserve gets developed -it will lose its beauty if you don't
quit & hold to your initial growth development promises
building condos and other high buildings
"hodge-podge" building design downtown. Need to direct building design to make town
inviting, (e.g., Santa Fe), also, putting Brake shop next to restaurants is
disasterous, (along with more car washes)
Loss of open space, over building causing congestion, and tall apartment buildings that
take away the beautiful views.
low income housing
inadequate preservation, overly large apartment complexes
high rises and condos look like poor parts of cities - houses crammed into small lots
commercial development
failure to end Xmas lights by code at a logical hour
Should businesses and housing be separated? If so, how?
Yes, keep businesses in one or two areas. Shea, Palisades, Saguaro
Yes, except restaurants
Put businesses in the downtown location
Depends on type of business -shops & apartments OK
No
Yes -small parks or full vegetation
Yes
Yes
Inherently, businesses are co -located with rentals and more affordable condo -type
homes. I think these should be limited so we are not overrun with apartment
complexes like Scottsdale became. If folks prefer a more urban lifestyle, then
build high -end condominiums in the heart of town where people can walk to
services and the community center, etc. Do no allow low -quality housing or
construction
Yes
Yes -A little late now, but housing should never have been near businesses, especially
ones that create noise or pollution
No
Yes
No
Yes
Yes, separte sections
No
Somewhat
Yes - a distinct downtown area
Of course - plan it- natural features/parks
What are the opportunities in the Town Center? [not included in FH Guide]
Lots. Have public (pay) holiday (all) dances, dinners w/entertainment, Xmas,
Valentine, St. Patrick, Mayday, fall -etc.
Town offices, courts, Senior Center
Nice new library and community center
Limited because of existing business locations
Answered elsewhere
Small business and high -end residential condos
I think we spoke loud & clear to the consultants that were here early this year. You
should implement their suggestions for out downtown. What I see is more
buildings that don't match -contrary to what the consultants recommended
The library & civic center is being used well now. It will only get better. An art fair
+�,•, similar to Scottsdale's would work
More activities, class
Small unique shops and/or clothing & shops for middle class
Accessible to handicapped - more own offices there
Should the Town provide economic incentives to attract more businesses?
If so, what types of incentives?
Only if we can't attract them other ways
Yes, 1 year tax free
Selectively, tax rebates, possibly zone changes
Yes -don't know, tax breaks?
Yes -tax free for "x" number of years (or) tax break
Yes -Taxes and land discounts
No -none
No, if a business is really interested in our community and has something valuable to
offer, they will profit without that
Yes; should have a college/university branch
No
Yes, tax concessions
Yes -tax incentives
High -end hotels (spas). A great source of revenue
Yes - Proper zoning, lower taxes ect.
Yes, reduction in property taxes
Yes
Yes - low taxes & rents
No
No - business should go where the traffic is
What would you change about Fountain Hills?
No building on top of hills
Bring in street light for safety purposes
Get Rid of Tent Signs!!!
Let us have street lights
Restrict heavy trucking to singular routing thru Town -create a "city" status
The committee that approves the design of commercial buildings. How did a storage
facility pass with bright red doors detracting from the surroundings?
I would make the town more appealing to visitors by building a strong retail and
entertainment infrastructure
Too late now
Very little
Remove the Mayor and most of the council and what purpose does the town of
Kasterlee in Belgum (sic] provide? Drop nonsense projects like this and lets
concentrate on our infrastructure and security
Two-way parking lot lanes, more parking for small business and safer intersections.
We have some careless drivers
Open space preservation
I would immediately lay out a better plan to have businesses & housing separate from
ea other
Its Mayoral Leadership; I vote (but am not an appropriate candidate); be more upfront
with people- the TRUTH does not harm, it may hurt for ashile, but it does not
harm & you'll have a much more trusting community if they know what your
planning, plotting, thinking about, etc. BEFORE they read about it the biased
newspaper. I come from a small town, smaller than F.H. so I'm too idealistic,
however, being up front prior to the event/change/etc. always makes for good
governmental leadership
Limit the proliferation of small stores that are useless and encourage larger stores
Add streetlights and speedbumps
Quit catering to developers & real estate cos. Think & demand what is good for town
Our Parks should be our #1 priority and well funded! (Stop robbing Peter to pay Paul).
This council must improve the declining esthestics of our once well managed
and beautiful parks. Our parks must be well kept and well managed. Fountain
Hills park aesthetics are terrible and getting worse, this must not be tolerated.
Support the new Parks Director and Park Commissioners.
Further enhance primary roadways to look as nice as the new Shea by Firerock
More development at town center. The fountain lake could help make us a destination.
I would level more than a few condo complexes
Limit all types of development, create more open space
Annex immediately to Scottsdale or charter city
How do see the Town in ten years?
Ave of the Fountains built on both sides plus a movie theatre
At it's peak, due to lack of land
As beautiful as it is today but with more conveniences
Hopefully, environmentally aware
A thriving and vibrant community
Better get some qualified town leadership or it will be a mess, with the highest taxis in
the state
Hopefully, all the vacant lots have a nice mix of quality buildings, that blend well, not
architectural nightmares and quality business and services that do not go under
in a year. Like to see longevity and reliability
Too crowded; pollution problems
I hope to see the landscape preserved as much as possible with lots of outdoor
opportunities such as parks, hiking trails, inline skating paths & quality cultural
events such as the 3 day jazz fest
Lovely -with NO MORE mountains cleared for construction other than the ones just
purchased & planned for friends of the board
A vibrant self-contained community
Indianapolis Speedway
Build out, & taxes going through the roof, unless high -end hotels are developed. Other
sources of revenue won't be enough
Under poor leadership: over population - resulting in higher crime and pollution.
Poorly funded Parks resulting in lower property values. Lower quality of life...
With good leadership, just the opposite.
Similar but better
Fully built out with a higher end image
As just another junky small town with probably more pizza places & car washes A
SHAME
Not much different - goodwill will move out
Should the Town try to annex more land?
No
Yes -contiguous land only
No
Only to protect unwanted land uses
No
No
No
No
No
NO!
NO. Expanding will negatively impact our property values. Supply & demand
Where?
Yes
No
No
No
Possibly
No
Yes, the mountains
No
No
Yes
No - want more property tax - vacant land is trash
Should the Town try to attract more private schools?
If so, how?
No
No
No
Let them develop on their own
No
No
No
No
NO
YES; Higher Ed
No
No
No
No
No. Support & enhance public schools. Need a dual ownership of community
swimming pool by Town & high school
Yes
A good private school would be a PLUS especially on the secondary level
No
No - no land available
Should the Town try to attract a college campus?
If so, how, and where should it be located?
No
Yes
No
Yes, a good opportunity for "extention" for starters, in existing buildings, then seek a
location type
Yes -Offer land near downtown to stimulate downtown growth. I like Prescott College
No
No
No, but h--I no
No, absolutely not. I have 20 years experience in college campuses and college towns.
That would be a disaster for a town the size of Fountain Hills. The roads make
both community colleges and universities accessible
No. We have enough fast drivers & people who park in cross walks outside our stores
YES YES YES
No
No
Yes -centrally, to be accessible to all
No
Maybe, but there doesn't seem'to be enough room. (Should not encroach on hotel's
space. That's where the money is)
Yes - in the new community center
A satellite facility of ASU or Scottsdale Community - downtown
No
No
Yes -south of Shea
No - where would we put it
What types of trail/park system should the Town try to develop?
OK, as is
Not familiar with present trails
None
Parks in the lower levels of Town that connect with Scottsdale's MSP and McDowell Mtn
Park
Bike trails in the washes like in Scottsdale
Ideally through tree -lined, lamplit trails when "downtown" is built out
Use of the natural washes as trail system
Easy access to the town and handouts how to access
No rail
Hiking trail to join w/McDowell Mt trail system
Love the panarama trail. Would like more trails with less houses nearby. Like to see
inline skating path system like Scottsdale's
Promote the local in town trail over the mountain which was supposed to be left alone &
useable over the east side down to the fountain -make more walkways around
town so folks do not have to walk on streets & why in the world didn't you
immediately place a lovely wheelchair accessible tral around the lake & park,
guiding around, lovely ... what a shame & what a waste -no you'll eventually have
to dig it all up again ... as usual. It's a sin that there isn't one there completely
around & about the park
Hiking trails in the hills
We have a trail system in the new mountain property. Do not build trails in washes.
(Town's legal liability will be staggering if people are put into washes)
Compile studies that show the best way to accomplish the goal, then implement the
best ideas. Use Scottsdale's example. The park system used to be the best for
our town's size, in the valley. This is no longer the case. The town must return
our parks to their former high standard of condition. On the basis of usability,
cleanliness, aesthetics, and amenities, the town must maintain these standards
in all parks and trails systems.
Along w/the enhanced roadways
Mountain trail system. Leave the washes natural without any trails or other facilities
None!! Washes should be left naturally development is ruining this town
Too late
Is it more important to provide amenities for Town parks or to develop a Town -wide trail
system?
Town parks
Improve Fountain Lake. Make the walking path all the way around the lake with many
benches
Develop a Town -wide trail system
Prioritize the trail system 1st, expand parks as needed
Amenities for Town parks
Trail System
Develop a town -wide trail system
Trail system
Town Park Amenities
I think it is fine the way it is. We don't need more
No
Trail System
Trail System
Town Park Amenities
Town Park Amenities
Develop parks. When you say "trail system" why don't you say washes. That's the
only place they can go. Stay out of the washes
Town Park Amenities
Trail system
Town Park Amenities
We DO NOT need a Town trail system There are lots of places to hike in AZ
Trail system
Both important - too late - land not there
What symbolizes the Town of Fountain Hills?
"Fountain"
The Fountain and open hill area
Our fountain and the art fairs
Small Town environment adjacent to large population center
Small town
Friendly
Away from the hectic life of Phoenix and Scottsdale
Beautiful views
The Fountain and Mountains
Fountain Park and the world's highest fountain
Our lake and fountain
Fountain and a cluster of business that will be out of business in two years
Everyone I know that does not live here admires the smallness and pleasantness of the
community
Fountain
THE FOUNTAIN -don't change tracks now -it's what the town was based on!
Quality of life
Speeding cars & garbage trucks
The washes with the saguaros & their natural beauty. The fountain is a gimmic &
doesn't compare with the washes
The views and the Parks!
Quiet, upscale somewhat, beautiful views, fountain
The fountain
Small town atmosphere which we are losing steadily
Fountain Park
Currently STUPIDITY, P G& E matter
Is it more important to have many small neighborhood parks with few amenities, or is it better
to have a few larger parks with many amenities? Why?
Larger -to keep small town atmosphere
Larger parks with many amenities
Few larger parks with many amenities, parking is a problem with small parks -costlier to
maintain
Depend on available space, for youth it would be better to have trails to parks from
neighborhoods
Few larger parks with many amenities
Fewer large parks
Many small ones. More user friendly and easier accessibility
Fewer large parks
Fewer large parks
Fine the way it is
Smaller parks preserves character of town
Many Smaller Parks
Many Smaller Parks -better access
Both. Keep what you have now in large parks, & go on to develop some small parks
Fewer large parks
Both
Fewer large parks - many small parks are not practical. People would still have to
drive to them., The town is too small, Height limit on builidings
We have sufficient parks now
Many Smaller Parks - Easy access, To enhance quality of life free of disturbances
Too late - yes, Scottsdale does
Is it more desirable to have small pockets of neighborhood commercial services, or is it better
to centralize services. Why?
Centralize. Town small enough to keep in one or two places. Keeps town together.
Centralize -optimize parking
Centralize services. Easier parking, lower prices in stores such as Target
We are small enough to use centralized services
Centralize services
Centralized
Centralize -we'll never be a large city. It's a short drive to commercial services. Don't
bring "the world" to our neighborhoods
Centralized
Centralized
We like a central downtown. For a small town, this also avoid duplication and some
people going out of business because they can't compete
Centralize. Keep small town feel
Mix of both
Centralized
Centralized -a mix of both!, the town is small enough & to support the businesses in a
town this size they need to be generally centralized
Centralized
Neighborhood
Centralize, Town isn't big enough for scattered shopping (youre going to have 2 major
centers anyway)
Centralized
Small pockets, don't want it too dense of commercial use
Centralized
Centralized to keep a "Town" - stores all over would make for a "junky" town
Centralized
No - no commercial in residential
Is a mixed use project (residential above with office or retail below) a good option for our
community? Why? Where?
Maybe some, but only a few
No
Yes -helps with our TAXES
Good idea for part of central area
Mixed use buildings are OK but usually are 3 stories tall or higher, which obstruct our
beautiful views
Good, downtown
No
Not appropriate
Not appropriate
As mentioned before, only high -end property to maintain quality and a beautiful and
safe environment
No
Not appropriate
Not appropriate
Not appropriate
Not appropriate
No -can't think of any place they would
towns
Good
In downtown, yes
Not appropriate
No
be desirable. That is for cities, not beautiful
Not appropriate
Good on Ave. of the Fountains - a white elephant - no traffic - retrofit of dying towns
Describe a town you like and why?
Walnut Creek and Danville, CA
Huber Heights, OH a commuity with shopping center, small dept. store (Kuhl) Industrial
Park to help on taxes, town owned police and fire departments
Sante Fe, NM -Buildings and homes blend with the environment allowing nature to be
more prevalent -there are good cultural activities
Boulder, CO -they have a downtown pedestrian walk
Aspen Colorado. Their downtown area is built out beautifully w/store fronts, mix of
business, benches, trees, walkway, also, carriage rides
This town with it's developing shopping centers -again, small town, less traffic, etc.
Rio Verde and Tonto Verde -Well managed, not cluttered with nonsense shops and
business and certain large commercial complex like Target
See previous answers
Prescott -pollution to minimum; small town atmosphere but w/services
North Scottsdale -Preserved desert among houses. Have great parks & inline skating
system. Host lots of events. Good dining & shopping
Central core of mixed retail, commercial and entertainment with housing on the
periphery -It works
Santa Fe: it is a destination town -speaks for itself Burlingame, Calif.: used hotels to
bring in loads of room tax to support the city
Fountain Hills, 5 years ago - Beautiful views, clean, nice schools, beautiful parks,
friendly residents, no congestion, little traffic and very little crime
Awautukee (sp), Carefree, Cave Creek, Scottsdale - Views, upscale element not too
dense except Awautukee & Scottsdale.
E N. Scottsdale, 48009 Burringham MI
What should Shea Boulevard look like? What activities should occur on Shea Boulevard?
From Scottsdale housing should have been kept farther back from Shea so it feel like
the desert!
Keep all fast food on Shea, Saguaro to Beeline
Six lane road -landscape divider -some commercial development
Shea has grown beyond any control -yield to commercial development
There doesn't seem to be any space left
That is our "interstate" of sorts like in other small towns -major retail activities
It's already past history
A clean orderly business area
No more commercial development
Not like Frank Lloyd Wright, Scottsdale Road, Pima Road, shall I go on? (Activities?)
Nothing much more than now. NO CAR DEALERSHIPS, PLEASE! Little
restaurants, some small business and services, ok
Enough has been done to destroy Shea!
Great place for shopping & other commercial
Like it does! However, you continually fix something & then a month later tear it up.
Doesn't make any financial sense at all. What a waste -guess it's job security for
someone. Less construction -THINK FIRST
There will be enough with the planned development of the Target Centre and the new
supermarket -maybe finish the planned hotel near Baskin Robbins
Commercial
No more development should be allowed. Any more stores (or houses) will ruin views
and it will destroy the "essense" of the town
Well landscaped, clean, with well planned traffic patterns. Driving on safe roads at
appropriate speeds
Like it does by Firerock
3ust fine as it is heading now - Larger shopping centers
commercial
Large commercial projects
Already zoned that way - can't change
How should the Town create an identity?
It has one -the fountain
Fountain gatherings-arts/crafts
Have its own Fire and Police Department
Stimulate more active participation from residence -ultimately, those active groups will
gain recognition for Town
By promotion in as many travel and destination sources as possible
We already have it. Invite people to see it -it speaks for itself
It should be known as the community in the hills
Small, well managed without outrageous taxes
We thought it had one, which is why we are here. We don't need to attract the world!
We have one -the Fountain. Focus on that
Preserve real estate values
Town should be know for it's use of it's beautiful surroundings as well as the Arts &
culture
Dah-if the fountain doesn't create an identity, what does!?
As a town, rather than a bedroom community
Reduce the "fountain" symbolism and replace it with the saguaro. Natural beauty beats
gimmics any time. We're "missing the boat"
Discourage jackasses from northern states from moving here (ha!). Promote Fountain
Hills as a friendly, safe community
We do not need to "create" an idenity if we do a good job of planning
It has an identity already
Try to attract better educated elected officials, make Town Manager more responsible,
admits MCO fault
How can the Town compete with other valley communities for sales tax dollars?
Target, and some great moderately priced restaurants
Offer the services and "they will come"
Try to maintain a balance of services and supply systems
Don't know
We're already doing it
Target and Fry's should be sufficient
If the Town was properly managed (not losing 2.2 million on some boondoggle
investment) and lived within their mandate (not purchasing land for 13+million
when the voters only mandated 6 million), then the town would not have to
compete for tax dollars to fill the expenditure gaps. The town over spends
Find out what the residents need, as you are doing with this survey, and try to provide
it to a reasonable extent. However, don't even consider the need to try and
duplicate all that exists elsewhere. That is foolish and irresponsible. If all our
towns are to look and feel alike, why should we live here?
More high -end boutique -type stores. No more junk like Beall's Outlet & Desert
Discount. High quality retail is what we need
Ir.► Attract people for cultural events & tax it
Increase centralized small businesses -continue to hold events that bring a lot of people
who visit & buy -but remember that not everyone has an income of 1-10m &
encourage businesses to blend & mix their clientel-all businesses cannot survive
on the wealthy
Develop a proper retail central core
You cannot compete by having shops selling shoes, household item, etc. too many big
stores out -side of F.H. with sheaper prices. Need to have galleries, restaurants,
quality tourists shops, etc . Need to draw visitors with , theater, culture,
recreation, sight-seeing, views & visitors pass to many stores getting here, to
think about buying "stuff" here
Make F.H. the destination of choice. There are many ways to do this. Studies should
reveal how this is done for a town our size. Build the downtown in a thoughtful
manner. Promote local businesses. Continue events that encourage visitors
Festivals, restaurants
Position it as a unique destination
By having quality businesses for middle class
It shouldn't, otherwise it will wind up like other towns
Can't
How can the Town protect its existing neighborhoods?
With proper restrictions
Encourage neighborhood clusters for more local pride, security, and "street parties"
Don't know
No commercialism. Add trails, landscaping, mini parks
Strict adherence to Town codes and better signs
Stop messing with the existing fine/medic/police systems
Insist on quality design, development and construction. Not cheap imitations
Stop building apartments and low end condos
Good police & fire protection
Competent police & leadership in government -financially competent & common sense
competent!
Speed -bumps
Support our local Marshalls Department
Create it's own police department
Zoning
Proactivity - enforce codes & zoning - officer sees it, cites it - proactive Town Manager
What should new neighborhoods contain?
Same as existing
Walks -some street lights at major intersections
Sidewalks
Med priced housing
Better planning of house styles to eliminate the "front garage door" look and psyche
Sidewalks
Don't know
Small park(s), mini trails, I would also like to see a housing community with equestrian
trails
Proper lighting and curved street to slow traffic
No more golf courses ... we have enough. Also we have enough private club facilities
Quality and low density
Open spaces -new neighborhoods are too crowded -minimum should be 1/2 acre
The desert that we came here for & less gates
Quiet, peaceful, families
No gates, more family stuff
Streetlights
Small open space, passive parks. Prevent "cookie cutter" homes and apartments!!!!
Build custom homes instead
Gated communities
Architectural controls, ordinances
Larger lots
Larger lots, more open space
See N. Scottsdale, park, fire, library, school
Should high-rise buildings be allowed in the Town Center? If so, how high?
No, 2 story -max
Sure, 4-6 floors
No
No high rise
Only in limited area-i.e. village extension space, etc.
PLEASE, NO!! Hopefully the joy of the center (&tourist attraction) will be the ability to
see the fountain and have a board center street feeding to the lake
No
Definitely not!!
No
No
Addressed previously
No
NO
No
No
No-25 ft.
No
30' only, '(or else mountain views will be destroyed)
No - High rises have and will destroy the views from downtown!
No higher than 3 or 4 stories
No
No
Town center make the community center higher for presence
What cultural amenities should the Town have?
Keep live theatre
Dinner theatre, musicals/artists
Let small artist have a $20 and under sale once a year
A comfortable live performance theatre
We have Theatre (sell it)
Support the local art gallery
Wait for a large performing hall
A better theatre building to rouse the excellent productions and a movie theatre
Movie Theater, and other family oriented things such as a small theme park such as the
railroad park
Indoor theatre, band shell for outdoor events, live entertainment
An art museum, an outdoor orchestra stage
I think we need more facilities for our youth i.e. swimming, tennis, track, etc...
Addressed previously
Community Theater expanded, symphony
Jazz & other musical events. A place like Scottsdale Ctr for Arts
Keep growing what you have -a small inobtrusive movie theater
A.M.C. cinema, cinema, cinema
A theater (stage type), try to attract a planetarium, with our skies it would be a natural.
(invite a college to build one)
A well funded, award winning theater for one thing. A mobile amptheather. A vibrant,
well used community center, and beautiful library
Live theater, movie theaters
Bigger stage theatre - a movie theatre
Too late
What should be the Town goal for the next 10 years?
Grow and improve commercial area
Controlled growth, with maximum effort to complete Town center
Get the downtown built out as a destination for visitors
Develop the downtown area for day and evening activity. Also, community swimming
pool
To develop the downtown area
Don't fall into bankruptcy and have out of line taxes
Addressed previously
Attract more cultural activities attract higher ed.
Try to make sense of the town layout in future building projects. Make Ftn Park more
usuable with more ramadas, water ftns, trees & benches. Promote tourism with
events to draw people
Competent government; no more mountain expansions; improve & increase trail
system in town; add two events in town to bring in publics
Reduce development of condos, duplexes and low income housing
Develop good sources of income (E.G., hotel tax). (note:) -two art fairs a year is not
enough to help'town. We need people coming here in hotels
Build award winning parks and recreational facilities, improve park amenities, stop
building in Fountain Park (leave it alone). Support our local law enforcement,
support local schools and teachers look for open space opportunities
Enhance the upscale image
Financial development, preserve uniqueness
To retain small town atmosphere
Direct commercial development in downtown and south of Shea
Get honest, get real, get smart, get proactive
What one change would make the most positive impact on the Town in the next 10 years?
Target, theatre, I would like a social club for dances, parties, etc for non -golfers
available
No tent signs -limit dogs in public areas -improve roads
Adding a small dept store, dinner theatre, opera, band shell by the fountain
A well designed -low buildings -town center connecting to the Fountain Park
Design a large activity center for youth that converts into a movie theater as well
Building out the downtown
Developing the downtown area culturally and environmentally
Lampposts, trails, trees, small shops/cafes, theaters
Develop the downtown area
Stop the mass development, needless expenditures
Addressed previously
More high -end boutique -type stores. No more junk like Beall's Outlet & Desert
Discount. High quality retail is what we need (repeated from prior question]
Minimize pollution & pollution control; upgrade Post Office
To have all business that create noise, bright lights & pollution to be in the same areas,
away from houses. Areas like Laser Dr & Shea are good for that type of biz
New governmental leadership -trustworthy & proven
Development of a proper retail downtown core that keeps people in the community
The town taking control of construction design of commercial building. If what is
happening now continues, you can kiss off attracting recreational visitors -and
that is where the money is for us. (also, getting high -end hotels is desirable
More residents who volenteer their time in this community
Develop the downtown area to be more like Tempe - movie theater too
Make the town center attractive as a destination
To allow no more condos or apartments
Smart, responsible decisions from smart responsible decision makers
What one change would most negatively impact the Town?
Building on the mountain tops
Already have destroyed ridge with homes
Not preserving the wash areas high enough
Another doggy park
Leaving tent sign out during the day -should be real estate signs only
Locate Football stadium by 87/Ft. McDowell
High rise buildings
Not building out the downtown
Commercial outlets in neighborhoods, building on the McDowells
To develop high rise office buildings
Removed the present leadership & fix our budget, plus fix the fire department mess
that was created by the fire board, and stop tinkering with the law enforcement.
It was good the way it was in the past, and better than most, so if it works,
don't fix it
Crass commercial development with no long-term commitment; too many businesses
competing for business and thus going under, leaving problems behind and
empty buildings. Look at Phoenix and Scottsdale!
More large stores like Target and Fry's
Too much development
To keep clearing the desert that makes this area so special
More mountain bulldozing; more negative, stupid financial mistakes
Wasting the available downtown space with useless boutiquey stores that drive people
into Scottsdale to shop. When this happens, the whole town business
infrastructure suffers as people do everything out of town
Over population
Loss of businesses that attract visitors
Allow businesses to build anywhere they like
What is the most beautiful neighborhood in Town? Why?
Hard to say -many beautiful areas
I think Lakeside is nice, for smaller size homes
North Heights
At present North Heights -more local open space
The area around Fountain Lake -compact, well maintained
North Heights -well landscaped and maintained
North Heights
The North Heights area
Glenbrook
There are several for various reasons. What they all have in common is that they tried
to be in tune with the environment and maintain a quality of some reasonable
level
Don't know the name -East of the Fountain, has beautiful views
North heights & Stoneridge
North Heights
Mine!
Most any of them that are facing mountains
North Heights
Most expensive of course
Thank you again for helping with the General Plan 2002 update.
Your name and address are optional:
Additional comments:
1. Trails in the washes to connect Parks and school grounds
2. Locate central spot for a movie theater
3. Offer community college extension service
4. Enough cell phone antenna to fully cover all of Town area effectively/or provide
alternate communication systems
5. Locate teen centered activity area in Town Center but in a way that it compliments the
other phases of development rather than conflicting with them for common areas of
use
6. Parks & Rec. Dept. is becoming too powerful & intends to spend too much of our money
7. Pat Davis does not know his job - very nice, though
8. Book depository on wrong side of street
9. Real recreation is gossip

Town of Fountain Hills
Memorandum
DATE: February 7, 2002
TO: The Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Jesse Drake, Interim Director of Community Development .JD
SUBJECT: Consideration of an amendment to Chapter 6, Section 6.03.C.6, Section
6.07.C.4 and 6.07.D.5 of The Zoning Ordinance for the Town of Fountain
Hills to add new language that would modify the requirements for menu boards
for drive-in or drive -through restaurants to allow larger menu boards, and to
allow the use of liquid crystal display (LCD) order play -back units to be installed
as a part of the menu board, or adjacent to the menu board.
The Town Council initiated an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to modify the requirements
for menu boards for drive-in or drive -through restaurants on January 17, 2002. The request for
the amended language has come about due partly to the fact that several businesses have installed,
without proper building permits, menu boards that are in violation of the zoning ordinance, and
partly due to a change in technology in the menu board system used by some franchise
companies.
Menu boards have increased in size because vendors are using visual graphics in place of, and in
addition to, text on the menu boards. In addition to the graphic displays, vendors are providing a
liquid crystal display (LCD) order confirmation unit that uses a scrolling text readout that replays
the requested order. The LCD unit is an attempt to reduce errors in orders and shows the
customer a visual readout of the order total.
The amended language would increase the allowable size of the menu board square footage from
the current maximum of twenty (20) square feet, to a maximum of forty-five (45) square feet, and
increase the allowable height of the menu board to be increased from five (5) feet to seven (7)
feet. In addition, the amended language would allow the addition of an LCD order confirmation
unit, with moveable text readout, to be displayed as a part of the menu board, or to be added as a
separate unit, not to exceed eighteen inches wide by eighteen inches deep by four feet high.
Since the proposed change would permit menu boards more than twice the existing allowable
size, and the boards would be exempt from signage limitations, a visibility restriction has been
added.
The existing menu -board sign sizes are:
Arbys
36.13 sf
Burger King
40.67 sf
McDonalds
43.61 sf with LCD
Senor Taco
13.44 sf
Taco Bell
43.27 sf
® Wendys
34.98 sf
Town Council Memorandum
Sign -Menu Board/LCD
Staff has surveyed the existing sign ordinance regulations in regard to menu boards in eight
Phoenix metro area communities. The results of the survey are as follows:
■ Apache Junction -the LCD unit is not allowed.
■ Chandler -menu board and LCD permitted if not directed to or readable from the
street.
■ Gilbert -the LCD unit is not allowed, but could be permitted as a part of a
Comprehensive Plan or Master Plan for a large commercial development.
■ Glendale -menu board and LCD permitted up to maximum of 45 sq. ft./6 ft. high.
■ Mesa -menu board and LCD allowed up to 45 sq. ft./6 ft. high, if not readable from
the street and not visible from the property line.
■ Phoenix -all signs not meeting the zoning district criteria require a Use Permit or
Variance. Menu boards must be screened from the street or are considered ground
signs.
■ Scottsdale- the LCD unit is not allowed, menu board limited to 24 sq. ft./5 ft. high.
■ Tempe -the LCD unit is not allowed, menu board limited to 20 sq. ft./6 ft. high.
Two sections in Chapter Six of the current Zoning Ordinance will need modification: Section
6.03 General Regulations to allow the use of moveable text on the LCD order confirmation unit;
and Section 6.07 to change the size of the menu board and to allow the use of the LCD as a part
of the menu board system.
Below is the proposed amendment to Chapter 6, Section 6.03.C.6, Section 6.07.C.4 and 6.07.D.5
of The Zoning Ordinance for the Town of Fountain Hills: (deleted text has stfikethfougk and
added text is underlined)
6.03 General Regulations
C. Signs not specifically authorized herein are prohibited, including, but not limited to the
following.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REPORT:
The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the proposed text amendment on January 24,
2002 and recommended approval with the following two changes to sections 6.07.C4.b & c, and
6.07.D.b & c.
1. Menu board size not to exceed thirty (30) square feet.
2. Menu board height not to exceed six (6) feet.
The Planning and Zoning Commission was very opposed to legitimizing non -permitted uses
after -the -fact, and was concerned about the trend in the community to ignore zoning ordinances.
These types of activities make enforcement of the code a much more difficult task for both the
® planning department and the Marshals. The Commission felt that the very large increase in size
was not warranted and that their proposed changes were more in keeping with the community
character.
Town Council Memorandum
Sign -Menu Board/LCD
STAFF EVALUATION:
If it is the intent of the text amendment to legalize the existing menu boards in the community
that are in violation, then the original text amendment would need to be approved.
The changes suggested by the Planning and Zoning Commission would leave Arbys, Burger
King, Taco Bell and Wendys in violation. McDonalds menu board was granted under the County
regulations and remains a non -conforming use.

RE: Notification of Palisades Boulevard and Shea Boulevard Water Feature
Parcel Acquisition REA01-08
In accordance with the 1996 Council action to accept the water feature at the northeast corner of Shea
Boulevard and Palisades Boulevard, MCO and Fountain Vista Properties have transferred by quitclaim
deed to the Town, ownership of the portion of the water feature site outside of the existing, wide Shea
Boulevard right-of-way. The recorded documents are attached.
The parcel would have otherwise been transferred to the Town upon final plat recordation of The Hilton
Hotel project, as Tract B, as shown in the attached parcel map (which is an excerpt from the proposed
Fountain Hills Resort Plat). Basically, the parcel includes the edge of the Plat site area and generally
extends out down the slopes.
Staff has punch -listed the water feature/pump station, and MCO is in the process of making those repairs
and corrections. The Town will assume operation and maintenance of the water feature upon approval
of those corrections. Staff has authorized turnover of the water and electrical meter usage expenses as of
November 19, 2001.

I IMISSION STATEMENT
The Town of Fountain Hills has grown from the guiding hand of the founders
into an independent, vibrant and vital family -oriented community where the
conservation and preservation of the natural heritage and visual beauty of
the surrounding is maintained.
Residents revere the sense of closeness and small town feeling in a
community dedicated to high quality schools and strive for diversity in
neighborhoods that all have a close adjacency to nature in common.
IF
Fountain Hills is committed to creating a Town that is attractive for small
businesses, clean industry and village commerce, where the natural
environment is preserved and protected, and where diverse housing is
supplied in an attractive built environment.
..
PURPOSE OF THE GENERAL PLAN 2002
The original Fountain Hills General Plan was adopted in 1993. The
planning team of Vernon Swaback Associates, P.C. in association with Town
staff and the citizens, prepared the Plan for the Town of Fountain Hills.
Since that time, there have been no major updates to the original document.
The Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 2002 serves to not only to
update and revise the original General Plan document and fulfill the State of
Arizona Growing Smarter legislation, ARS § 9-461.05 & 6, but also unites and
supports the community with a focused and comprehensive vision for
guiding community growth and development. The General Plan 2002
provides goals and development policies for future growth while maintaining
flexibility in interpretation and use.
The 1998 Growing Smarter Act and 2000 Growing Smarter Plus legislation
outline the following required elements to be included in the updated
General Plan 2002 for our community:
1. A Land Use Element providing a written and graphic form of the
proposed land uses within the community.
2. A Growth Element providing growth strategies and
implementation plans for transportation and infrastructure
expansion.
3. A Cost of Development Element providing policies for
identifying the costs of public services and infrastructure and the
methods available to require future development to pay a portion
of these development costs.
4. An Open Space Element providing a written and graphic
inventory of all existing and proposed parks, recreation areas and
open spaces and a management plan stressing linkages to
adjacent and/or regional systems.
5. A Circulation Element providing a written and graphic form of
the existing and proposed street system and any alternative
transportation systems, such as bicycle and mass transit.
6. A Water Resources Element providing an inventory of the
existing available surface water, groundwater and effluent supply,
and which analyses growth, impacts and distribution of all water
systems.
7. An Environmental Planning Element providing policies and
implementation plans that will address the proposed effects of
development on air, water and natural resources.
HISTORICAL OVERVIEW AND EXISTING CONDITIONS
Regional Context
The Town of Fountain Hills lies in the northeast quadrant of Maricopa
County approximately thirty miles northeast of central Phoenix. The
Town's spectacular hillside location, in the upper Sonoran Desert on the
eastern slope of the McDowell Mountains, provides the community with its
famous mountain vistas and rich natural desert vegetation. The City of
Scottsdale borders the community on the west, The Salt River Pima-
Maricopa Indian Community on the south, The Fort McDowell Mohave -
Apache Indian Community on the east, the McDowell Mountain Regional
Park on the northwest, and State Land on the northeast.
Major access to the community is from Shea Boulevard. Shea provides
the Town's connection to the greater Phoenix metropolitan area on the
west toward Scottsdale and central Phoenix. To the east, adjacent to the
Town boundary, Shea intersects State Highway 87 connecting the Town to
the south and east valley, including the cities of Mesa, Chandler, and
Gilbert, and also north toward the Verde River, the Salt River and Saguaro
Lake recreation areas, and further north to Payson and other mountain
recreation areas.
Community History
The land, composed of low ridgelines and wash corridors, was originally
home to Native Americans. Archaeological studies have identified the Fort
McDowell area as a major center of Hohokam -Salado occupation from
approximately 100 to 1450 C.E. Petroglyphs and lithic remains have been
found in both the McDowell Mountain Park and in the surveyed portions of
the State Land adjacent to the Town's northern boundary. In the mid
1500's Spanish explorers came northward from Mexico into the area and
began colonizing the region. In 1821, when Mexico declared
independence from Spain, the region became a part of the Republic of
Mexico. Subsequently, with the Treaty of Hidalgo in 1848 the signing of
the Gadsden Purchase in 1854 area became part of the Arizona Territory
until statehood on February 14, 1912. With the apportioning of counties,
the land, including the sections now encompassing the Town Fountain
Hills, became a part of Maricopa County.
The close proximity of both the Verde River and Fort McDowell,
established in the late 1800s, served to bring attention to the region and
created opportunities for the ranchers who came into the area. The initial
purchase of property that became the Town of Fountain Hills came from a
partial sale of the P-Bar Ranch, a working cattle ranch, under the
ownership of the Page Land and Cattle Company, when 4500 acres was
split off in 1968 in a sale to McCulloch Properties, a subsidiary of
McCulloch Oil Corporation.
Town of Fountain Hills General Plan
Two years later 1970, in combination with other land purchases, and
under the direction of McCullough Properties Inc., an approximately
12,000-acre model city was conceived and named, and the company
prepared documentation known as the initial "Development Plan for the
Community of Fountain Hills". The plan included a variety of residential
housing types, commercial and industrial land uses, provisions for schools,
churches, a community park, and a variety of open space corridors.
Singularly, the founders included, as an attraction to and for the new
community, the "World's Tallest Fountain", christening it's namesake on
December 15, 1970. Interest in the new community was generated
throughout the Midwest and eastern regions of the country through an
innovative "fly to see" program. Prospective buyers were flown to the
fledgling community by private aircraft and toured their potential
homesites by a Jeep -driving sales force. Initial residential construction
began within months and by February 1972 residents began living in the
Fountain Hills.
In December 1989 a seven member Town Council officially incorporated
The Town of Fountain Hills, retaining the established land uses, and set up
governance of the community. Maricopa County continued to administer
land use ordinances for the first six months after incorporation. The Town
adopted its initial zoning and subdivision ordinances in May 1990 and
began administering these ordinances on July 1, 1990. A Community
Development Department was established the next month and the
Planning and Zoning Commission was organized in November 1990. The
Planning and Zoning Commission continues as the recommending body to
the Town Council on land use plans and the implementation of ordinances.
In February 1991, the Town Council chose not to continue as its own
Board of Adjustment and formed an independent Board of Adjustment to
consider variance requests from the land use ordinances and to hear
appeals of the zoning administrator's decisions.
Development continued steadily throughout the 1990s. The land
underlying Eagle Mountain, southwest of the Shea Boulevard/Palisades
Boulevard intersection, was annexed in 1991. Communities Southwest
developed a mixture of approximately 500 residential units and
commercial facilities adjacent to an 18-hole golf course. In May 1994
Sunridge Canyon, northwest of Palisades Boulevard and west of Golden
Eagle Boulevard, was approved as an Area Specific Planning Area. SunCor
and MCO Properties provided an 18-hole golf course, as a community
amenity for the 830 single-family dwelling units within the development.
Subsequently the subdivisions of Firerock, Crestview, Eagles Ridge North,
and Eagles Nest were added. In 2001 the Town opened the Community
Center and Library Complex. Study continues on the Plat 208 Town
Center redevelopment.
Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 1 2
Physical Characteristics
Fountain Hills is famous not only for the spectacular aquatic display of the
grand fountain, which can be seen from miles away, but is equally
renowned for its sensitive retention of the natural desert within and
through the Town and its many scenic vistas and abundant wildlife.
The Town lies on the lower portions of the eastern slopes of the McDowell
Mountains and is made up of alternating low ridgelines punctuated with
dense rock outcroppings and washes draining in a southeasterly direction.
Elevations in the Town range between 1510 feet above sea level on the
east/southeast to a peak of 3170 in the northwestern hills, averaging
about 400 to 500 feet higher than other metropolitan Phoenix
communities.
Fountain Hills retains luxuriant undisturbed Upper Sonoran desert
vegetation throughout the community. Saguaro and cholla cascade down
the Town's ridges interweaving with ocotillo, creosote, bursage, jojoba
and brittlebush on the slopes which in turn give way to mesquite, palo
verde, ironwood and finally cottonwood trees in the wash bottoms.
Distributed throughout are the many varieties of cacti and flowering
seasonal plants that carpet the land with multi -colored displays, each
color in turn intensifying and giving way to the next.
The washes and abundant vegetation serve to protect and maintain viable
homes and wildlife corridors for the native desert fauna. Specialized
habitats in stands of cacti, wash corridors and rock outcroppings allow
native species to thrive in close proximity to the suburban development
and the Town is vigilant in its conservation and protection of these
important areas.
The most commonly seen native wildlife species are coyote, desert
cottontail, javalina, deer, bobcat various species of quail, dove, owl and
hawk plus lizards, banded geckos, gopher snakes, bull snakes and
rattlesnakes.
Community Facilities and Services
Religious Facilities
More than a dozen religious facilities are located within Town boundaries.
Educational Facilities
Fountain Hills Unified School District #98 is comprised of four schools.
Two elementary schools, encompassing grades K-5, had a total fall 2001
enrollment of 980 students. The middle school, grades six through eight,
Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 1 3
and the high school, grades nine through twelve had a combined
enrollment of 1535 students, for the 2001 school year. The district
encompasses all lands within the Town limits and also provides
educational facilities for 153 students from the adjacent Fort McDowell
Mohave -Apache Indian Community. 56 elementary students, 42 middle
school students and 55 high school students from the Indian Community
are included in the student totals.
As of October 2001: 430 students were attending kindergarten through
third grade at McDowell Mountain Elementary School; 550 students were
attending fourth and fifth grade at Four Peaks Elementary School; 675
students were attending sixth through eighth grade at Fountain Hills
Middle School, and; 860 students were attending ninth through twelfth
grade at Fountain Hills High School.
A new middle school facility serving grades six through eight, located
adjacent to the Town's northern border, on 35 acres of land leased from
the State of Arizona, is under construction and the District expects that
classes will begin in the fall of 2002 with 700 students and will have a
capacity of 900 to 1000 students.
The current District office is located adjacent to the Four Peaks
Elementary School. The District is anticipating a lease of the existing
office site to the Boys & Girls Club. If the lease negotiations are
accomplished, then the District Offices would relocate to the Middle School
administration offices on Palisades Boulevard, adjacent to the High School
facility which will be vacated in 2002 when the new Middle School
construction is completed.
The Fountain Hills School District owns three additional sites in Fountain
Hills that may be used as future school sites. If these sites are
determined to be surplus property, they may subsequently be sold by the
School District. For information on future trends, existing facility
expansions, and new schools, the reader should contact the Fountain Hills
Unified School District.

LAND USE ELEMENT
The Land Use Element is a primary element of the General Plan 2002
and is the guide for the formulation of the Circulation, Open Space, and
Growth Area Elements. As a pivotal element upon which the General
Plan 2002 is developed, the Land Use Element expresses the community
vision and is a development guideline for future growth. Residential,
commercial and industrial densities and interactions are reflected in the
Land Use Element.
This element was developed through analysis of the existing land use and
in response to community and public participation in the planning process,
and reflects the input and comments received from intergovernmental and
inter -agency participants. The Land Use Element anticipates future
growth and development through 2012.
The Zoning Ordinance, Official Zoning Map, Subdivision Ordinance and
other regulatory land use tools are based on the General Plan 2002.
Land Use Ordinances and zoning map amendments shall be made in
conformance to the General Plan 2002. Conformance shall be
interpreted to mean that the General Plan and Ordinance shall be in basic
harmony. The adopted Mission Statement, Goals and Objectives, graphic
plan and Implementation Program and Guidelines will be used to assist
the Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Council in review of all
future development proposals and rezoning requests. These components
will also assist in the review and planning for the preservation of open
space, recreation improvements, planning and programming of any future
community facilities and in the preparation of Area Specific Plans.

Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 10

Existing Conditions Overview
Existing Generalized Land Use
The existing land use pattern of Fountain Hills was largely influenced by
the implementation of an original master plan generated by MCO
Properties in the early 1970's, which envisioned a complete, self-
supporting "New Town" of approximately 70,000 people. In 1980, MCO
Properties revised the original Master Plan to lower the proposed density
and land use intensity in consideration of environmental constraints. The
revised Master Plan, approved by Maricopa County, projected a build -out
population of approximately 45,000.
In 1986 the revised Master Plan was amended by Maricopa County to
include the subdivisions of Crestview, Westridge, Summit East and Los
Altos Hills (previously named Summit West). In 1989 an amendment was
administratively approved by Maricopa County for the Lakeside Village,
Bainbridge, and Golden Eagle areas.
In 1991, MCO Properties revised the Master Plan Map to include all the
prior County amendments. This revised map was presented to the Town.
The Town took no action on this document. Instead, the original Town of
Fountain Hills General Plan was approved on May 6, 1993. The first
amendment to the original General Plan, to re -designate land uses for the
Sunridge Canyon area was approved on May 18th of the following year.
Topography was, and continues to be, the major constraint of the existing
land use patterns. Additionally, the pre -selected locations of the Fountain
and the wastewater treatment site have guided land use patterns.
Originally, single-family residential areas tended to be planned on the
ridges, with commercial uses grouped primarily on the flatter land near
the fountain park. Both uses originally were located close to the initial
water and wastewater service.
Currently most of the land is platted and either developed or under
construction. The pattern of land use is as follows:
Single-family Residential
Existing single-family residential land use areas are distributed throughout
the Town. Larger lot/low density neighborhoods are found in three areas:
1. Following the ridgelines in the northwest and north central
sections,
2. In a wide, roughly northwest to southeast band, in the central
section of Town on the north side of Shea Boulevard, and
3. South of Shea Boulevard between Palisades and the industrial
and commercial node at Saguaro Boulevard.

Existing Land
Use Map

Town of Fountain Hills General Plan
1 Multi -family Residential
Existing multi -family dwelling units, identified as multi -family structures
having at least one common wall, are concentrated in three areas:
1. In an irregular band surrounding the downtown commercial
' center and the fountain lake,
2. In a wide band on the east side of Fountain Hills Boulevard,
extending from the north of the downtown commercial center
to the northern Town boundary, and
3. In isolated parcels on both the north and south sides of Shea
Boulevard including a northward extension from the commercial
node at Shea and Saguaro Boulevards along the Towns eastern
P boundary line.

Existing Zoning
All land in the Town is zoned. The adopted Zoning Ordinance for the Town
of Fountain Hills establishes specific zoning districts, and development
regulations for each district. The official zoning district map is not
included in this General Plan 2002, but is on file and available at Town
Hall.
For General Plan 2002 implementation purposes, one or more zoning
districts have been grouped within generalized land use designation
categories in the table below. Categories relate to density and impacts on
the community, therefore the zoning district -to -generalized land use
designation relationship should be maintained and used for
implementation of the plan.

The Land Use Plan contains residential, service/employment,
government/utility, open space/recreation land uses.
Residential uses include Single-Family/Very Low Density, Single-
Family/Low Density, Single-Family/Medium Density, Multi-Family/Medium
Density, and Multi-Family/High Density.
The Single-Family/Very Low Density Residential (.025-1 DU/AC) uses are
primarily located on the westerly and southerly portions of the community
adjacent to the existing developed areas, or in areas intended for large lot
subdivision development.
Single-Family/Low Density (1-2 DU/AC) are scattered throughout the
community.
See
Land Use
Plan
page xx
Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 1 14
Single-Family/Medium Density (2-4.5 DU/AC) uses are located
predominantly in established, older subdivisions located in the eastern half
of the community north of Palisades Boulevard.
Multi-Family/Medium (4-8 DU/AC) and Multi-Family/Nigh (8-12 DU/AC)
Density uses found predominately in and near the center of the Town's
commercial core.
Service/Employment uses include mixed use, general commercial/retail,
office, lodging and industrial land use designations. The area shown on
the Land Use Plan as industrial use, with existing industrial zoning, is
located south of Shea Boulevard near Saguaro Boulevard.
Commercial designations are indicated primarily in the Town Center, along
Shea Boulevard and on Saguaro Boulevard. A small commercial center is
shown on Fountain Hills Boulevard at the northern Town boundary.
Additional commercial/retail/office development along the Shea Boulevard
corridor should not occur until the Town Center commercial area is fully
developed and undeveloped land inventories in the Town Center area are
exhausted.
Lodging is designated near the northeast corner of Shea Boulevard and
Palisades Boulevard. Additional lodging facilities should be considered for
the Town Center core. The sensitive development of these lodging
facilities, including their impact on surrounding neighborhoods, should be
carefully considered and should be the primary consideration before the
Town facilitates their development by rezoning or through any other
discretionary approvals.
Areas designated for Government/Utility land uses include municipal uses
and other public/semi-public or private utility facilities.
The Open Space land use designation denotes areas targeted for the
eventual permanent preservation or conservation of open space including,
but not limited to, privately owned wash areas, Town -controlled Hillside
Protection Easement areas, "OSR" zoned areas, or any other publicly -
owned open space intended for conservation. In addition, existing or
proposed park or golf course locations are designated as Open Space on
the Land Use Plan. The State Land parcel at the northeastern edge of
Town is shown as Open Space but is currently zoned Rural-43 by Maricopa
County.
LAND USE DEFINITIONS
The following section provides detailed descriptions of the proposed uses
in each land use category, and general criteria for development, where
applicable.
Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 1 15
RESIDENTIAL USES
Single-Family/Very Low Density Residential (.025-1 DU/AC)
The Single-Family/Very Low Density Residential category denotes
areas where rural and single-family residential development is
desirable and all urban services (sanitary sewer, water, law
enforcement, fire protection, schools, parks, etc.) are available or
can be provided.
Single-Family/Low Density Residential (1-2 DU/AC)
The Single-Family/Low Density Residential category denotes areas
where single-family neighborhood residential development is
desirable and all urban services are available or can be provided.
Single-Family/Medium Density Residential (2-4.5 DU/AC)
The Single-Family/Medium Density Residential category denotes

desirable and all urban services are available or will be provided.
Multi-Family/Medium Density Residential (4-8 DU/AC)
The Multi-Family/Medium Density Residential category denotes
areas where higher density attached residential uses, such as
duplexes and townhouses, are desirable and all urban services are
available. Suitability for development, will be determined, in part,
on transportation access to the arterial roadway system and public
transit, existing land use patterns, public infrastructure capacity
and suitable topography.
Multi-Family/High Density Residential (8.0-12.0 DU/AC)
The Multi-Family/High Density Residential category denotes areas
where highest density residential uses such as multi -story
apartments and specialty residential are desirable and all urban
services are available. Suitability for development will be
determined, in part, on transportation access to the arterial
roadway system and public transit, existing land use patterns,
public infrastructure capacity and suitable topography. Its use is
very limited in the Town.
SERVICE/EMPLOYMENT USES
General Commercial/Retail
The General Commercial/Retail category denotes areas providing
for the sale of convenience goods (food, drugs and sundries) and
personal services which meet the daily needs of a multi -
neighborhood trade area.
See
Guidelines

Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 1 16
Office
The Office category includes areas where general and professional
offices have been historically developed and can be used as a
buffer between existing developed commercial and industrial uses
and residential developments. Future development of Office
designated areas are appropriate for mixed use projects, especially
within the Town Center.
Lodging
The Lodging category includes areas where tourist -oriented low -
density lodging and resort uses, together with a minor amount of
concomitant retail and restaurant uses, should be developed.
Higher density and multi -story hotels, motels and resorts should be
located only in areas designated for Mixed Use or General
Commercial/Retail.
Mixed -Use
The Mixed Use area denotes the Town Center area where a mix of
commercial, retail, office, high -density residential, municipal, civic,
recreational, cultural, institutional, parking, lodging, and religious
facilities are to be located. Several uses can be accommodated
within a single project if the mix of uses is carefully designed to be
mutually supportive and the project as a whole will reinforce the
viability and vision of the Town Center.
Industrial
The Industrial category includes areas where mixed general office,
warehousing, light industrial uses have been historically developed.
Future development of Business Park uses should be targeted for
the existing areas and for sites with potential visual exposure to
Shea Boulevard.
MUNICIPAL/INSTITUTIONAL USES
Government
Utility
This category includes the future location of the Civic Center/Town
Hall, emergency service providers and the Post Office.
This category includes the areas for waste water treatment
facilities, water storage reservoirs and tanks, well sites, telephone
company sites, electric substation sites, etc. All sites have been
developed and no additional areas are designated at this time.
Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 1 17
Schools
This category includes land where existing public schools are
located, but does not include undeveloped School District -owned
property.
OPEN SPACE/RECREATIONAL USES
Parks
This category includes both existing or planned community parks,
and privately owned parks and subdivision recreation areas.
Open Space
This land use category includes most drainage corridor/wash areas
and dedicated or proposed open space areas. It is the intent of the
General Plan 2002 that any proposed or undedicated open space
areas will remain as permanent open space. Historically joint
cooperation between the Town, the property owners, various
community groups and individual volunteers has severed to
preserve and maintain these areas. Sites identified on the Land
Use Plan are delineations of preserved or protected open space,
and of proposed open space areas.
Golf Courses
The Golf Course category denotes existing golf courses together
with their associated functions such as maintenance and retail
facilities, clubhouse and parking areas.
RESIDENTIAL LAND USE GUIDELINES
The following guidelines encompass the General Plan 2002
Mission Statement, fulfill the goals of the community and permit
creativity in site planning while protecting the environment and
maintaining the low -density residential character of the town and
shall be used for planning any land designated as Residential on
the Land Use Plan.
ALLOWABLE RESIDENTIAL DENSITIES*
Residential - Single-Family/Very Low Density: .025 - 1.0 DU/AC
Residential - Single-Family/Low Density: 1.0 - 2.0 DU/AC
Residential - Single-Family/Medium Density: 2.0 - 4.5 DU/AC
Residential - Multi-Family/Medium Density: 4.0 - 8.0 DU/AC
Residential - Multi-Family/High Density: 8.0 - 12.0 DU/AC
Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 1 18
Single-Family/Very Low Density Residential (.025-1.0
DU/AC)
Within any particular development, net densities greater than 1.0
DU/AC (cluster development) could be permitted in concentrated
areas to direct development away from more environmentally
sensitive portions of a total site, but only if areas of lower densities
offset the increase such that a gross density of no more than 1
DU/AC is maintained.
Single-Family/Low Density Residential (1.0-2.0 DU/AC)
Within any particular development, net densities greater than 2.0
DU/AC could be permitted in concentrated areas to direct
development away from more environmentally sensitive portions of
a total site, but only if areas of lower densities offset the increase
such that a gross density of no more than 2.0 DU/AC is
maintained.
Single-Family/Medium Density Residential (2.0-4.5 DU/AC)
Within any particular development, net densities greater than .4.5
DU/AC could be permitted in concentrated areas to direct
development away from more environmentally sensitive portions of
a total site, but only if areas of lower densities offset the increase
such that a gross density of no more than 4.5 DU/AC is
maintained.
Multi-Family/Medium Density Residential (4.0 - 8.0 DU/AC)
Within any particular development, net densities greater than 8.0
DU/AC could be permitted in concentrated areas to direct
development away from more environmentally sensitive portions of
a total site but only if areas of lower densities offset the increase
such that a gross density of no more than 8 DU/AC is maintained.
Any increase in such density must be accompanied by enhanced
site amenities and/or extra -ordinary dedications for open space
preservation, parks or trails.
Multi-Family/Medium Density Residential will be particularly
encouraged for development in the Town Center area as
transitional projects between existing developed residential and
commercial areas. Projects proposed for these transitional zones
should be developed with exceptional design, enhanced site
amenities, extensive landscaped setbacks from collector roadway
corridors and controlled access to the arterial roadway corridor.
Multi-Family/High Density Residential (8.0 - 12.0 DU/AC)
The development of Multi-Family/High Density Residential will be
particularly encouraged in the Town Center area between existing
residential and commercial areas or as buffers to lower density
residential areas located along arterial roadway, or adjacent to
Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 1 19
commercial areas. Projects proposed for these transitional zones
between existing development areas should be developed with
exceptional design, enhanced site amenities, extensive landscape
setbacks from the roadway corridor and controlled access to the
arterial roadway corridor.
Opportunities And Constraints
Opportunities
The parcels of land representing the greatest opportunity for continuity
between current planning objectives and the ultimate physical outcome of
the Town are the un-subdivided and undeveloped areas within the Town
boundaries.
Additionally, there are unincorporated parcels of land adjacent to the
Town that represent other opportunities for the Town to influence or guide
development. The Town could seek annexation of those lands, or work
with in conjunction with the. property owner(s), to exercise planning and
zoning administration over the land. Lands with potential Town planning
influence are:
• Approximately 1276 acres of State Land located adjacent to
and northeast of the Town.
• McDowell Mountain Regional Park adjacent to the northern
boundary of the Town.
The primary un-platted or undeveloped areas within the Town, included as
a part of the General Plan 2002, are listed with a brief description.
These areas are listed by location in a clockwise direction beginning at the
southeast.
o Firerock Country Club
The Firerock Country Club area is the large central portion
of land south of Shea Boulevard, between Eagle Mountain
Development on the west and the Firerock Residential Area
in the southeast corner of the Town. The only un-
platted/undeveloped areas within Firerock Country Club are
three multi -family zoned parcels, totaling 52.68 acres,
adjacent to the golf course on the south side of Shea
Boulevard.
o Crestview
This 342-acre parcel was approved as Summit Estates
master plan by Maricopa County in 1986. The area was
annexed and renamed Crestview. Access to the subdivision
is restricted on the east. The R1-43 Single Family/Very
Low Density zoned portion of the subdivision has been
See

Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 1 20
platted, but not built out. One approximately 57 acre multi-
family parcel remains un-platted.
o Westridge
A parcel of approximately 100 acres located south of the
Westridge Village subdivision, east of Palisades Boulevard,
north of Shea Boulevard. Approximately ten acres abutting
Palisades Boulevard above the 1,920-foot contour elevation
is designated for Lodging land uses, and is buffered from
adjacent uses by a broad dedication of open space. The
remainder of the area is designated for Single-Family/Very
Low and Single -Family Medium density land uses.
o Eagle Ridge North and Eagles Nest
A combined 926-acre portion in the northwestern section of
Town, the two subdivisions are platted to contain a total of
415 single-family low -density residential homes adjacent to
a 354-acre preservation area that will connect Town open
space to the existing McDowell Mountain Park owned by
Maricopa County.
o State Land Parcel
An approximately 1,300-acre parcel of State Land is located
northeast of the Town, adjacent to the Town boundary. A
35-acre site, adjacent to the Town's northern boundary
where Fountain Hills Boulevard enters the State Land
parcel, is leased by the Fountain Hills Unified School District
#98 for the Fountain Hills Middle School. The Town has
participated in the successful effort to have the remainder
of the State Land parcel re-classified through the State Land
Department as "suitable for conservation and preservation"
and encourages and supports efforts to identify and
facilitate methods to preserve the property in perpetuity for
preservation. As Fountain Hills Boulevard exits the Town's
northern boundary, the road name changes to McDowell
Mountain Road, which becomes the access road to McDowell
Mountain Regional Park and both the Tonto Verde and Rio
Verde communities.
o Plat 208-south
The south half of plat 208 is home to the Town's Community
Center complex on the west end, adjacent to Montana
Drive. The area between the Community Center and
Saguaro Boulevard that contains approximately 27 acres is
vacant and is the preferred site for additional lodging and
commercial development in the Town center.
Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 1 21
o Undeveloped School Sites
The Hawk school site, located on Hawk and Arroyo Vista
Drives, the El Lago school site, located between El Lago
Boulevard and Cavern Drive, and the Aspen school site,
located southwest of Aspen Drive and north of Sierra Madre
Drive. If any of these sites were to be sold by the school
district, they could be developed according to the underlying
zoning district of the site. To date, there are no
development plans for any of these sites.
o Infill Parcels
There are undeveloped parcels, both platted and un-platted,
within the Town. These parcels are smaller than the
previously listed areas, but represent potential for new
development.
Constraints
o Topography
The most obvious development constraint, and conversely
the greatest visual asset, is topography. Much of the Town
lies on varying degrees of steep slope. Careful integration
of development together with management of drainage and
control of washes are important considerations for any new
construction.
o Drainage
Earthen dams have been constructed in natural washes to
integrate drainage control with natural flow patterns. Each
lot is reviewed for drainage patterns at the time of building
permit submittal. The water flows across the individual lot,
especially in relationship to the proposed construction, are
reviewed and the overall drainage patterns for the area are
reviewed to avoid excessive outflow onto adjoining
properties. The Town uses a 1995 major drainage study for
delineated flood hazard areas.
o Boundaries Of Incorporation
Fountain Hills is bordered by:
• Fort McDowell Mohave -Apache Indian Community
on the east
• Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community on
the south
City of Scottsdale on the west

Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 1 22
■ Maricopa County McDowell Mountain Regional
Park on the northwest
• The 1,300 acre State Land parcel on the
northeast
There is no indication that the boundaries will change in the
foreseeable future, with the possible exception of the state
lands parcel. Therefore, it is reasonable to predict that the
Town Fountain Hills will retain the current boundary
configuration and size for some time.
o Regional Access
Fountain Hills is located on the northeastern edge of the
Phoenix metropolitan area. The Town is served by the
following regional access system:
• Shea Boulevard, a median -divided four to six -
lane road, runs east/west through the Town
and connects to Scottsdale and central
metropolitan Phoenix to the west, and to
State Route 87 (Beeline Highway) just beyond
the Town boundary on the east.
• State Route 87, a median -divided four -lane
road, runs north/south and connects south to
Mesa and other east valley locations, and
north to Payson, Pine and Winslow.
• McDowell Mountain Road, a two-lane road,
heads north out of Fountain Hills through Rio
Verde and connects to northeast Scottsdale
via Dynamite Road.
Existing Land Use Assessment
Approximately 43% of the total of land area is developed. The 2000
Census shows that on April 1, 2000 the Town had 20,235 residents.
Build -out is projected to occur with a population of 29,256.
The following Economic Development Existing Conditions Analysis includes
projections for the future residential, commercial, employment and public
facilities land use needs. A reasonable understanding of future land needs
will guide the Town in its application of appropriate growth management
strategies, land use and development regulation and capital improvements
budgeting.
Residential Population Forecast
Population projections were prepared for the Town of Fountain Hills,
through the Year 2012. The total future permanent resident population is
projected to be a total of 27,904 people by the year 2012. At build out,
See
Existing
Land Use
Map
Page xx
See
Population
Growth Chart
page xx
Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 1 23
the total future permanent resident household population is projected to
be 29,256.
Land Use Forecast
An estimate of the total required acreage to accommodate the future
population of the Town of Fountain Hills through the year 2012 can be
calculated utilizing the residential population forecasts data. These land
use estimates should be utilized in evaluating development proposals, to
guide and manage the community to ensure development quality, and to
provide for the appropriate extension of public infrastructure and
expansion of public facilities.
Residential land use forecasts are computed by calculating the number of
households required to accommodate the future population and the
average development densities of desired housing types. The average
number of persons per residential household in Fountain Hills through the
year 2012 is assumed to be 2.50 for single-family dwelling units and 1.98
for multi -family dwelling units.
Projected population increases are one measure of predicting the expected
number and type of new dwelling units that will be needed through the
year 2012. The percentage of single-family detached/multi-family units is
based upon an historic assessment of the existing housing mix and
projected land usage and development.
The projections reflect the community's goal to provide the potential for
higher density residential development in the Town Center area, and the
community's desire for the overall residential character to remain low
density. It is estimated that with the existing projections and land use
mix, sufficient residentially -designated lands exist in all residential land
use categories to support the forecasted growth through the year 2012.
Although all undeveloped zoned lands will not necessarily be developed to
their highest use due to a variety of potential constraints (e.g. physical,
environmental, access) there appears to be more than enough
residentially zoned land in Fountain Hills to support forecasted housing
needs through the year 2012.
Historically, a large proportion of development in Fountain Hills has been
platted at a lower density than the minimum lot size permitted in the
respective zoning classifications resulting in a low -density community
character.
Evaluation of commercial and industrially zoned lands indicates that no
increase will be required to fulfill the projected net requirement through
the planning horizon year 2012.
Approximately 133 total net acres are currently zoned for industrial uses,
and the capacity appears to be adequate to serve the projected need in
year 2012.

ADDITIONAL LAND USE GUIDELINES
Environmentally Sensitive Development Guidelines
Areas of environmental sensitivity occur throughout the Town of Fountain
Hills. In order to respect the environmentally sensitive nature of all lands
within the Town as the Land Use Plan is implemented, careful
consideration should be given to policies that will require a more sensitive
treatment of the built environment for all land use zoning classifications.
The policies could take the form of a new ordinance or revisions to
existing ordinances in order to be properly and effectively implemented.
Any reassessment of environmental guidelines should include the following
issues:
• Large lot requirements located on high elevations or steep
slopes and highly sensitive lands.
• Requirements for differing percentages of natural areas to
be left undeveloped based on the sensitivity of the land.
• Use of color and materials which are compatible with the
surrounding environment.
• Lighting restrictions.
• More restrictive grading and drainage requirements.
• Refinement of building height calculations based on visual
impact to the surrounding community.
• Further protection of natural vegetation.
• More sensitive standards for roadways design and
development.
• Protection of specific areas or natural landmarks.
• Preservation of known wildlife habitats/corridors.
• Preservation of washes and standards for wash crossings.
• More restrictive standards for lot coverage and floor area
ratio.
Buffering Techniques
In cases where less than desirable compatibility situations exist,
the following buffering techniques should be required:
• Areas consisting of extensive landscaped open space;
• Arterial and collector streets with extensive landscaping;
• Heavily landscaped underground utility corridor easements;
• Screen walls, landscaping, earthen berms;
• Preservation of natural topographic features.
Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 1 25
Vision, Goals and Objectives
Vision
The Town seeks to preserve the character and beauty of the Town using
land use principals that allow development in a cohesive and beneficial
manner that will preserve neighborhoods and support business
development.
Goal One
Correct the imbalance of acreage in zoning districts to more
closely reflect expected need/demand.
Objective 1.1
The Town should re -zone some of the vacant, commercially zoned land to
more appropriate zoning districts.
Objective 1.2
The Town should evaluate whether any remaining industrially -zoned
acreage should remain industrial, or be re -zoned to residential uses.
Goal Two
Centralize commercial development and address the existing
random pattern of commercial development.
Objective 2.1
The Town should continue to employ a policy to encourage the overall
development of existing commercially zoned lands and under-utilized
commercial buildings and the Town should discourage any proposed re-
zoning that would create more commercially zoned land until the Town
Center commercial core is fully developed and the need for further
commercial areas evaluated.
Goal Three
Investigate the application of special planning area solutions using
special planning tools such as Specific Plan Overlay Areas and
Corridor Studies.
Objective 3.1
The Town should investigate the addition of Specific Plan Overlay areas to
allow mixed -use commercial/office/residential developments in selected
portions of Town as identified in the Growth Element.
Objective 3.2
The Town should initiate a corridor study to address the issues related to
infill and redevelopment of the commercial uses along Shea Boulevard and
Saguaro Boulevard.
Objective 3.3
Discourage the continuation of the historical pattern of commercial
development along Saguaro Boulevard.
Growth
Element

Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 1 26
Objective 3.4
Particular attention should be given to attracting small and medium sized
businesses as participants in a mixed -use project, and uses that promote
day and evening activities are especially desirable. Residential uses
within the mixed -use area should be high density, and projects that can
accommodate commercial or office uses at the street level, with
residential on upper floors are encouraged.
Goal Four
Expand the Town image beyond that of a suburb to incorporate an
individual business community identity.
Objective 4.1
Design and install unique signage and an entry statement for the
community that is both original and welcoming. The entry monument
should incorporate a symbolic image that could serve as a springboard for
other lesser public identity markers or public art and signage within the
community.
Objective 4.2
Develop business incentive programs to attract new professional services
to the community and guide the location of such offices to appropriate
locations.
Objective 4.3
Develop a theme for the Town Center area that will attract a variety of
residential, cultural, institutional, commercial and
entertainment/recreational opportunities.
Objective 4.4
Continue to pursue the expansion of public regional and local public transit
that will provide the opportunity for visitors to participate in a variety of
activities in the Town.
Goal Five
Protect and preserve existing neighborhoods from incompatible
adjacent land uses.
Objective 5.1
Encourage development of infill areas with close proximity to shopping
facilities, recreation, community services and existing infrastructure.
Objective 5.2
Encourage higher density mixed -use and lodging to locate in the Town
Center area.
Objective 5.3
Continue to preserve open space and natural washes as buffers between
and within zoning districts.
Objective 5.4
Group all municipal and civic facilities and services in the Town Center.
See
Circulation
Element
page xx
Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 1 27
Objective 5.5
Future development of office uses should be targeted for mixed -use
projects in the Town Center area, and designed to become a buffer
between existing developed residential and commercial or industrial areas.
These transitional zones between existing developed areas should be
planned with exceptional site design, enhanced site amenities, extensive
landscape setbacks from the roadway corridor and controlled access to the
arterial roadway system.
Objective 5.6
Proposed lodging sites should be planned with wide open -space buffers
from adjacent residential uses and should provide direct or proximate
access to arterial roadway corridors, be located on land presently zoned
within a lodging, or residential zoning district and be developed in a highly
sensitive manner relative to existing land forms, wash areas, vegetation
and other environmental constraints.
Goal Six
Continue to preserve open space and maintain strict guidelines for
the conservation of natural resources.
Objective 6.1
Continue to preserve steeply sloping hillsides and wash areas.
Objective 6.2
Require high -density developments to include provisions for open space
and extensive native landscaping.
Objective 6.3
Maintain linkages in the form of pedestrian paths, visual corridors and
interconnections with public art.

Future Growth Areas
Crestview
The Crestview development, located on the north side of Shea Boulevard at
the Town's western boundary, encompasses 100 platted single-family very
low density lots, and an approximately 57 acre un-platted multi -family,
medium density parcel. The development will become the western "face" of
the community.
Development at Crestview will have limited vehicular transportation impact
on the interior of the community due to the development's proximity to the
Shea regional corridor, which will accommodate the inter -regional traffic
with no additional vehicular traffic on internal community roadways.
The development is close to the Mayo medical complex and the many offices
and retail businesses in the Scottsdale Shea Boulevard employment corridor.
The Crestview development will provide an opportunity to - continue
pedestrian and bicycle linkages into Scottsdale and provide the opportunity
for non -vehicular transportation to work.
At or near the Shea Boulevard/Palisades Boulevard intersection is a logical
regional transit node location where regional and local bus service,
pedestrian pathways and bicycle linkages could cross. Additionally, the
transit node could serve any future rail service that may be provided from
the south across the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community.
All of the land in the Crestview development is steeply sloping. Both the
single-family and the multi -family portions of the development will preserve
large areas of open space. The single-family lots will be developed with
restrictions. that will maintain large areas of non -disturbed land and preserve
the native desert vegetation; and the proposed multi -family development
contains large tracts of preserved land that will contribute to the community
character and to the goals of desert preservation.
Constraints:
Most community retail shopping and business services are far from the
Crestview development, therefore residents may find it equally or more
attractive to shop in neighboring communities, especially if employment
routes take residents out of the community and provide a greater savings of
time.
All community schools require bus service. No new schools are scheduled to
be within walking distance of the development.
The development is not anticipated to provide medium to low-income home
buying opportunities.

Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 1 32
Eagle Ridge North and Eagles Nest
Located in the ruggedly hilly and steeply sloping northwest section of Town,
both Eagle Ridge North and Eagles Nest are adjacent platted un-built, single-
family, low -density developments. The combined 926 acres have a total of
415 platted lots. The plats for the two developments are adjacent to a 354-
acre preservation area that will contain pedestrian and bicycle trails with a
trailhead that will link the Town, through the preservation area, to the
McDowell Mountain Park and the countywide regional trail system.
Vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle access is provided on and adjacent to
public roads through the developments to the trailhead.
Roadway intersections on Palisades Boulevard at both Eagle Ridge Drive and
Golden Eagle Boulevard would be possible transit node locations to link the
regional transit and local community wide transit system with pedestrian
and bicycle pathways. .
Both Eagle Ridge North and Eagles Nest developments contribute to the
preservation of the Community character and to the goals of desert
preservation.
Constraints:
Employment centers, retail shopping and business services are far from the
low -density lots, which will limit pedestrian -to -retail trips and cause
increased vehicular trip generation.
All community schools require bus service. No new schools are scheduled to
be within walking distance of the development.
The development is not anticipated to provide medium to low-income home
buying opportunities.
Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 1 33
Revitalization Areas
Corridor Study Areas
Saguaro Boulevard Commercial Corridor Study
The commercial centers on the west side of Saguaro Boulevard between
Kingstree Boulevard and Emerald Wash, and on the east side of Saguaro
Boulevard, between Emerald Wash and El Lago Boulevard should be the
subject of the Saguaro Boulevard Commercial Corridor Study. These areas
are an uneven mix of the older commercial strip centers with frontage roads.
Traffic conflicts due to the existing frontage road, pedestrian and bicycle
access, parking, building accessibility, landscaping and sign ordinance
compliance all need study.
The area should be investigated and planned with the intent that the
corridor should work in a complementary, not competitive manner, with
both the Town Center to the north and the commercial corridor on Shea
Boulevard.
Fountain Hills Boulevard North Corridor Study
A corridor study should be completed to address the redevelopment of the
small commercial development on the east side of Fountain Hills Boulevard
between Balboa Wash and the northern Town boundary. The issues of
vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle access, parking, building accessibility,
landscaping and sign ordinance compliance all need study.
The study should focus particular attention on the need for broad, safe
pedestrian and bicycle pathways due to the proximity of the future middle
school now under construction, and the surrounding residential
neighborhoods. Commercial and business services in the area should
provide neighborhood community -oriented services.
A landscape plan should address the need for both shaded pathways and
separation from vehicular traffic. The safety considerations for the number
and placement of driveways should be part of the corridor study.
Shea Southeast Corridor Study
Both sides of Shea Boulevard, between the Town boundary on the east and
Burkemo Drive on the west should be a part of the Shea Southeast Corridor
Study. This section of Shea Boulevard has various intensities of commercial
uses, vacant land and residentially zoned property. The easternmost part of
Shea is the eastern entry to the Town and needs monument
identification/sig nage.
See
Growth
Areas Map
Page xx
Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 1 34
Issues to be addressed in the corridor study should be traffic access and
congestion, especially during special events, compatibility of adjacent land
uses, linkages to regional transit, pedestrian and bicycle pathways area
character and signage.
The corridor area should identify a regional transit node that will
accommodate inter -modal transportation systems and provide a convenient,
safe, comfortable and aesthetically pleasing place that will link regional and
local community -wide transit systems, including a possible future rail stop.

Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 1 35
Vacant In -fill Areas
One vacant In -fill parcel, located on the north side of Shea Boulevard is
identified as a site that may need a future In -fill Study.
Three additional vacant properties, owned by the Fountain Hills Unified
School District #98, are possible future in -fill sites.
All of these parcels are identified on the General Plan Land Use map as
residential areas and all have existing zoning that would permit residential
construction. The Town considers all of these sites to be potential residential
in -fill areas.
Shea Boulevard In -fill Area
The vacant acreage on the north side of Shea Boulevard, between Palisades
Boulevard and Fountain Hills Boulevard contains steeply sloping topography
and has limited access possibilities to the interior roadway system of the
community.
Any in -fill study should focus on alternative options for the site, including a
cluster housing option and an open space option. All study options should
include pedestrian and bicycle linkages to the surrounding community and
should include a regional transit node at the Shea/Fountain Hills Boulevard
intersection.
Aspen Drive In -fill Area
Two adjacent vacant parcels are located south of Aspen Drive at Hawk
Drive, north of, but not adjacent to Sierra Madre Drive. The westernmost of
the two parcels is a 19.35-acre vacant school district parcel. Together with
the adjacent 12.43-acre on the east, these lots, individually, or together,
have the potential for single-family housing. They are surrounded by single-
family very low density, single-family low density, and single-family
medium -density developments. Hesperus Wash restricts the access and
development potential of the southern edge of both parcels, but sufficient
access is exists from the north on Aspen Drive.
El Lago/Palisades In -fill Area
A second 35-acre vacant school parcel is located east of Palisades
Boulevard, north of El Lago Boulevard. Arrow Wash traverses the parcel
from east to west, the topography rising fifty feet across the property. The
property is surrounded by single-family medium -density development and
lies adjacent to two public roadways, Cavern Drive on the north and El Lago
Boulevard on the south. The site has the potential for low -density housing.

Saguaro Boulevard at Colony Wash In -fill Area
A third 15.71-acre vacant school parcel is located adjacent to the south side
of Colony Wash, just west of Saguaro Boulevard. The topography of the site
rises from the wash on the north, crests in a small hill in the center of the
site and slopes down gently on the south. The site is adjacent to single-
family low -density, single-family medium -density, multi -family medium -
density and multi -family high -density developments.
Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 1 37
Specific Plan Areas
The Town Center Specific Plan Area Boundaries
Town Center Commercial/Mixed-Use Area Boundary
The Town Center Specific Plan commercial/mixed-use area should
incorporate all of Blocks 3 through 8 of Plat 208 between Palisades
Boulevard on the north, El Lago Boulevard on the south, Saguaro Boulevard
on the east and La Montana Boulevard on the west, plus the eastern half of
Blocks 1 and 2 of Plat 208.
Town Center Government Area Boundary
The western half of Blocks 1 and 2 of Plat 208 currently house the Town
Civic Center. Any future governmental building should be built in
conjunction with the Civic Center building complex.
Town Center Specific Plan
The development of a Town Center Specific Plan will provide the opportunity
for revitalization of not only the existing under-utilized Town Center Plat 208
north, but also will serve to guide the development of the vacant, in -fill
parcel in the Town Center, Plat 208 south, and the future redevelopment of
the existing Town Administration Center/retail site on the north side of Plat
208. Development of the Town Center Specific Plan will provide the
opportunity to create a strong physical and visual linkage with the existing
urban open space and signature fountain.
Because the Town has a limited historical building style, there is an
opportunity to create a Town "style," or architectural character that can be
used as a basis for future development and revitalization projects in the
Town Center and throughout .the community. The Town Center should
incorporate a specific landscape and street -tree program to further identify
the area as a core area. Special attention should be addressed to the issues
of shade and boundary/edge in landscape design and to the scale of
pedestrian walkways, water features and the placement and configuration of
seating in pedestrian pathways.
The Town Center Specific Plan should incorporate mixed -use high -density
development, to provide local employment opportunities, reduce vehicular
traffic demands and reduce air pollution. The existing surrounding roadway
infrastructure is in place, so no additional public financial burden is expected
for roadway development.
The Town Center Specific Plan should incorporate day and evening activities
to maintain a lively and safe environment, incorporate residential, office,
retail, entertainment and governmental services as a core for community
activity.
See
Growth
Area Map
Page xx
Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 1 38
Although mixed -use development is the goal, the mixed -use project should
be viewed primarily an employment center, secondarily as a residential
community. Development should create opportunities for small offices or
office complexes to benefit from proximity to government center and create
opportunities for small business to benefit from proximity to each other due
to increased pedestrian traffic.
It is anticipated that the Town Center Specific Plan will creates a pedestrian
oasis for all activities, thereby reducing vehicular trip generation. The
Specific Plan should incorporate a major transportation node that will
become the main cross -linkage for both regional and local transit systems,
plus bicycle and pedestrian pathways. The transit node should provide
shelter, of both built and landscape materials, seating, plus parking for both
motorized vehicles and bicycles. The transit node will create the opportunity
for a micro -business core and the opportunity for public art space. The
transit node should incorporate visual and architectural linkages to the
surrounding development and should be designed to be safe and
aesthetically pleasing during both day and evening hours.
The Town Center Specific Plan should be "expandable" with accommodation
for future growth, and should give clear direction as to how future growth
should be integrated into the Town Center and the adjacent urban fabric.
Additionally, the Town Center Specific Plan should identify how to provide
financial incentives to the existing built -out property owners for re -design in
conformance with the preferred build -out design.
Pedestrian Street Elements
The Town Center Specific Plan should incorporate the following elements in
the open/pedestrian areas of the design:
o Seating
Seating should provide a variety of choice of both types and places. Benches
and seating ledges should comprise approximately ten percent of open
space areas.
o Sunlight and night lighting
Both architectural and landscape elements should be used to incorporate
shaded areas into the open space and pathway areas. Trees should
periodically be grouped in conjunction with seating areas in a manner that
will provide shade and filtered light.
Nighttime lighting should avoid dark pools and corners and should be placed
to be pedestrian friendly. Pedestrian and bicycle pathways that are
adequately and evenly lit will encourage non -vehicular transportation during
the evening hours.
Architectural lighting elements should be non -glare pedestrian scale.
Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 1 39
o Choices, number and variety
The pedestrian street will create a visually interesting and lively urban space
when a wide variety of choices of activity and experience are available.
Doorways and windows should be closely spaced and easily accessible.
Business, retail, entertainment and residential uses should be available in
the same block. Both indoor and outdoor seating for restaurants and
galleries should be incorporated into the plan.
Opportunities to conduct business, shop, sit and stroll should be developed
with the primary focus on pedestrian scale.
Residential units on upper levels should provide balconies and windows to
pedestrian walkways adjacent to business and retail spaces below.
o Public Art
Opportunities exist to incorporate public art into architectural elements,
lighting designs, transit station designs, benches and seating ledges,
landscape border elements and paving designs. Additionally, freestanding
sculptural elements, especially interactive designs, or designs that
incorporate water elements should be a part of the plan.
The community should be encouraged to participate in the public art design
and development.
o Water and Food
Waterfalls, water walls, pools, brooks, and fountains of many designs should
be incorporated as horizontal and vertical elements in the overall design. All
water elements should be easily accessible and should be focal points
without becoming barriers to pedestrian movement. Water designs should
be incorporated with, or be in close proximity, to seating and restaurants,
and should create a visual linkage between one another and with the
signature fountain.
Food should be available near seating and water. Restaurants should have
the capability to provide outdoor seating adjacent to the pedestrian
walkway. Outdoor seating should have only trees or awnings for
shade/shelter.
Constraints:
There will need to be a careful examination of the methods of how to
accommodate the desired density while still accommodating parking
requirements.
Care will have to be taken to determine an expansion model that will not
overwhelm successful development with increased traffic or noise problems.
The Town Center Specific Plan will need to show how to provide a
sustainable mix of jobs. The Plan should provide options of business -to -
Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 1 40
retail models based on similar successful mixes in comparable urbanized
areas.
The Specific Plan must identify and incorporate safe methods for school
children to live in core area and travel to schools.
Peripheral Areas
The Town Center Specific Plan should address the peripheral areas
surrounding the Plat 208 core center. The existing Town Administration
building complex and its adjacent retail center, to the north of the Town
Center site should be a part of the Specific Plan. Particular attention should
be addressed to pedestrian linkages, landscaping, paving designs, land use
and architectural character.
A second peripheral area that should be included in the Specific Plan is the
retail development to the west of the Town Center core area and the
existing Post Office Complex. Focus of these sites should be pedestrian
linkages, landscaping and cross -use benefits analysis.
Temporary Special Event Areas
Fountain Park Events
The Town's signature Fountain Park is the site of several major and minor
Special Event activities during the course of the year. While the Special
Event activities provide an opportunity to showcase the community and
provide entertainment and activities for the residents, the Special Event
activities generate an unusual amount of short-term traffic congestion and
parking challenges.
The Town should generate a permanent Special Event team to review and
make recommendations for each Special Event application. The issues of
traffic control, on and off -site parking, public safety and maintenance should
be included.
Off -site parking options could be considered in a program that would include
a circulating trolley system that would deliver special event visitors from off -
site parking locations to identified event area stops. The rental of the
trolley(s) should be investigated with the cost of the trolley divided among
the event vendors. Such a system would enable the community to
accommodate a large volume of parked vehicles at scattered locations
throughout the community. Traffic congestion around the event location
would be minimized, and visitors would be exposed to the scenic beauty and
variety of the residential and business community on the trolley trip to and
from their vehicles. Local businesses, both at or near the event site, and
those more distant, would have the opportunity to provide visitors additional
shopping and dining experiences by providing a portion of their parking
areas as temporary special event designated parking areas.
Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 1 41
Community Center Events
The Community Center is also the site of many Special Event activities. At
present, parking for all events is accommodated on site. The community
center parking lot is currently used for Temporary Special Event parking in
addition to the regularly scheduled community center events.
It is anticipated that future scheduling conflicts could force the removal of
the community center parking lot for Temporary Special Event parking
activities. It is also possible that the Community Center could have an
event scheduled that would not be able to accommodate all of the necessary
parking on site.
It is for the above reasons that large Temporary Special Events should have
parking and routing reviewed beforehand by the Special Event team.
Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 1 42

COST OF DEVELOPMENT ELEMENT
Existing Conditions
The Town of Fountain Hills implemented residential development impact fees
in 2001. Commercial development impact fees have been in place since
November 2001. Since the Town is almost fully platted, it is estimated that
infrastructure costs will be reduced proportional to the decrease in building
activity.
The Town uses existing ordinances to ensure that new development projects
participate in infrastructure improvement costs. All new projects are
evaluated through the development review and zoning processes. The Town
identifies necessary dedications and easements and requires improvement
bonds before construction is allowed to commence.
Town municipal offices are housed in leased office space that uses inefficient
equipment for heating and cooling and that requires frequent repair for
multiple systems.
The Town owns the Community Center building that opened in 2001, which
was built with new, efficient technology. The Town continually tracks and
monitors capital improvement budgets, operating costs, facilities costs and
changes in inflation and bond rates.
Ordinance Requirements
Subdivision Ordinance
The. Subdivision Ordinance incorporates the requirement. of dedications of
public right-of-way and easements within proposed subdivisions.
Requirements for landscape improvements in frontage and right-of-way
dedications, and provisions for dedications for public schools and parks are
also found in the Subdivision Ordinance.
Zoning Ordinance
The Zoning Ordinance incorporates the requirement for landscape
improvements in frontage and right-of-way dedications after subdivision
plats have been recorded.
Development Fees Ordinance
The Development Fees Ordinance incorporates the requirement that
applicants participate in the costs of infrastructure improvements and
participate in the cost of open space acquisition, community facility costs
and public safety fees.
Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 1 48
Non -Ordinance Methods
Sales and Property Taxes
In May 1995 the Fountain Hills Town Council enacted a 1.2% local sales tax.
The Council increased the rate to 1.6% effective November 2000 to fund
downtown development and land preservation in Fountain Hills. For the six -
year period ending June 30, 2001 the total revenue collections were
$12,616,585. The local sales tax revenue has been largely responsible for a
July 1, 2001 Town General Fund balance of $4,710,061.

Private Facilities
Development areas that choose to have private communities, gated or not,
reduce the need and maintenance of a portion of public streets and facilities.
Joint Use Agreements
Existing joint use agreements with the Fountain Hills Unified School District
#98 and with Maricopa County have helped to reduce infrastructure and
facilities costs for the community.
Special Districts
The Town currently has two special districts within its boundaries - the Eagle
Mountain Community Facilities District and the Cottonwoods Maintenance
District.
Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 1 49

The Parks and Recreation Department was established in 1991. The
Department currently coordinates a variety of recreational programs and
community events. Due to the lack of municipal facilities, many
programs and events are being conducted at school sites and other
facilities within the community. The recent addition of a new Community
Center has allowed many of the activities that are non -athletic to move
to this site.
The existing park and open space system within the Town of Fountain
Hills consists of developed municipal and private parks, school campuses,
four privately owned golf courses, a municipal community center, and
areas of undeveloped natural open space. The 21,099-acre McDowell
Mountain Regional Park lies immediately north of the Town. There are
currently five municipal parks within the community in various stages of
development.
The programs and events that have been sponsored by the Town are
very popular. The development of a multi -faceted municipal park and
open space system continues to be a topic of discussion. There is
widespread community support for the incremental development of such
a system. Master plans have been developed for four of the existing park
sites (not including Kiwanis Park).
Developed Park Sites
Fountain Park
The Town's signature lake and world-renowned fountain, an important
community landmark, are part of Fountain Park. The 64-acre park
consists of 35 acres of turf and 29 acres of lake. The lake itself is not
used for recreational purposes, but the park that surrounds it is widely
used by community residents and visitors for both active and passive
recreational pursuits. Fountain Park was acquired from MCO Properties in
May 1997, and was recent improvements include a new restroom control
building, two covered picnic ramadas, a multi -purpose connecting
sidewalk, repairs to the fountain's pump and electrical components, and a
lake's liner replacement. Proposed future improvements, as
recommended and approved in the park master plan, include additional
covered picnic ramadas, a performance pad, playground and tot lot with
shade structures, additional multi -use connecting sidewalks, an
educational arboretum and associated signage, and a veteran's
memorial.
Town of Fountain Hills General Plan I 53
Desert Vista Neighborhood Park
An approximately 12.5 acres dog park and recreation area, Desert Vista
Neighborhood Park has 3.5 acres for the Off -Leash Recreational Facility
and 9 acres on the upper turf tier. The Off -Leash Recreational Facility
consists of two separate fenced areas (passive and active areas) to
accommodate smaller and larger dogs. Desert Vista Neighborhood Park
was initially developed as an Off -Leash Recreational Facility for dogs.
The Town acquired this site from MCO Properties in May 1998. Amenities
include drinking fountains for humans and pets, bench seating, three
shaded areas, and an unimproved (gravel) limited off street parking area.
The upper tier is an open turf area used by Town athletic teams on a
reservation basis. Proposed future improvements, as recommended and
approved in the park master plan, include a lighted ball field with
bleachers, a restroom control building, two lighted basketball courts with
bleachers, two lighted sand volleyball courts, two lighted outdoor
racquetball courts, a children's playground with interactive water
features, and multi -purpose sidewalks.
Four Peaks Neighborhood Park
In July 1998 the Town began acquiring land for the fourteen -acre Four
Peaks Neighborhood Park adjacent to Four Peaks Elementary School from
the Fountain Hills Unified School District. The initial Phase I acquisition
was 3.92 acres of land. Phase I Improvements included a soccer field, a
restroom control building, a covered picnic ramada, and multi purpose
sidewalks. The Town acquired an additional 9.9 acres, south of the land
known as Phase I Improvements, from the School District in May 2001.
This second acquisition included a lighted multi -purpose field, two lighted
multi -purpose ball fields with bleachers, two lighted tennis courts, two
lighted basketball courts, two shaded children's playgrounds, and two
parking lots with capacity of thirty parking spaces. Proposed future
improvements (Phase II) are expected to include upgrades to the multi-
purpose field and ball fields, new basketball courts, a new in -line hockey
facility, multi -purpose sidewalks, shade -tree bosque, picnic ramadas with
grills, a skate park, and upgrades to parking lots.
Additionally, the School District and the Boys and Girls Clubs of
Scottsdale — Fountain Hills Branch are cooperatively working to develop a
youth and teen center adjacent to the site with meeting rooms and a
gymnasium, which would be available for their respective uses and other
public uses, including potential Town use.
Golden Eagle Park
Golden Eagle Park is a twenty-five acre recreation area developed
adjacent to the existing public High School. The park includes off street
parking, four lighted multi -purpose ball fields with covered dugouts and
seating for 550 spectators, four lighted tennis courts with a shaded
waiting area, two lighted basketball courts with bleachers, two lighted
sand volleyball courts with a shower tower, a shaded tot lot and
children's playground with a shaded seatwall, a 2,500 square foot
restroom/control building, three parking lots with a total of 223 parking
Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 1 54
spaces, three covered picnic ramadas with grills, two pedestrian
footbridges, six chilled drinking fountains, a horseshoe pit, six open turf
areas, a large equipment storage yard, and over one mile of multi-
purpose sidewalks and pathways.
Kiwanis Park
Located adjacent to the Kiwanis Activity Center, this active recreation
area is owned, and was developed, by the Town, but is maintained by the
Sunset Kiwanis. Amenities in the park include two bocce ball courts, two
shuffleboard courts, two horseshoe pits, a sand volleyball court, and two
picnic ramadas.
North Heights Park
A privately owned park in the
neighborhood park was developed
Heights Homeowners Association.
School Sites
North Heights subdivision, this
and is maintained by the North
The Fountain Hills Unified School District and the Town of Fountain Hills
maintain an Intergovernmental Agreement that allows each agency to
utilize the other's facilities at no cost.
McDowell Mountain Elementary School
The school provides facilities for students in Kindergarten through 2nd
grade including a multi -purpose room/gymnasium that is utilized on a
limited basis for parks and recreation athletic activities.
Four Peaks Elementary School
The school provides facilities for students in 3rd through 5`h grade
including a multi -purpose room that is utilized for various parks and
recreation activities. Additionally, the.Boys and Girls Club of Scottsdale -
Fountain Hills Branch, uses the school facilities for after -school youth
programs.
Fountain Hills Middle School
The school is currently under construction on the northeastern boundary
of the community. Planned amenities at this school include two ball
fields, a football/soccer field with stadium seating, an all-weather track,
basketball courts, and sand volleyball courts. In addition to the outdoor
athletic facilities, the school will have numerous indoor facilities that may
be utilized for various parks and recreation activities, both athletic and
non -athletic.
Fountain Hills High School
Since September 1992 this facility has provided two gymnasiums,
wrestling rooms, a dance room, a fitness room, a football/soccer field,
Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 1 55
and a running track for community activities. Classrooms are also used
to provide space for parks and recreation special- interest activities.
Fountain Hills Charter School
This 3rd through 8th grade school opened in 1998, has been the site of
limited Department programs.
Golf Courses
Fountain Hills has four privately owned 18-hole golf courses:
o Desert Canyon Golf Club
o SunRidge Canyon Golf Club
o The Golf Club at Eagle Mountain
o Firerock Country Club
Undeveloped Wash Corridors
As a result of the Town's location within the foothills of the McDowell
Mountains, there is a network of natural drainage channels or washes
extending through the community. These washes, primarily owned by the
Town, are typically undeveloped, although most do contain utilities and
utility easements and are used as drainage corridors. This network of
undeveloped washes provides the community with significant natural
open space. Any trail development within these corridors under the
existing Town Code would require an affirmative vote of Town electors.
Designated Bike Lanes
The Town contains several streets with sufficient width and capacity to
include designated bicycle lanes. Not all streets are striped and marked
as required for official bicycle route designation.
McDowell Mountain Preservation
The Town has recently finalized an agreement with MCO Properties to set
aside over 354 acres of land as a natural preservation area. A parking
area and trailhead is planned for development that would allow visitors to
access the trail system within the preserve potentially connect with the
regional trail system developed in the McDowell Mountain Park to the
north and west of town.

CIRCULATION ELEMENT
The Circulation Element of the General Plan 2002 provides a framework
for the development of a comprehensive transportation system,
encompassing the roadway system, public transportation system and bike
trails.
The Circulation Element endeavors to present balance and coordination
between projected development and land use patterns, and future
transportation demands. This element examines existing transportation
conditions and identifies issues and problems needing resolution.
Existing Conditions
Street System Inventory
There are approximately 165 miles of paved roadways in The Town of
Fountain Hills.
Arterial roadways form the foundation of the roadway system, providing
regional access and major transportation links. State Route 87 and Shea
Boulevard are classified as principal arterials. Palisades Boulevard, Fountain
Hills Boulevard and Saguaro Boulevard and portions of Golden Eagle
Boulevard are classified as minor arterials.
Roadways classified as collector streets provide the linkages between arterial
roadways and the residential and light commercial areas, serving as the
connections between vehicular mobility and access to abutting land parcels.
The existing major collector street system in Fountain Hills consists of the
following16 streets:
• Avenue of the Fountains •
• Desert Canyon Drive •
• Eagle Mountain Parkway •
• El Lago Boulevard •
• El Pueblo Boulevard •
• Glenbrook Boulevard •
• Golden Eagle Boulevard (northern) •

The remaining street system is made up of two-lane local roadways.
Consistent with the intent of local roadways, they provide access to property
and are not intended to provide mobility between various areas of the Town.
Signalized traffic control devices are found at the following intersections:
Shea Boulevard/Fountain Hills Boulevard
Shea Boulevard/Saguaro Boulevard
Shea Boulevard/Palisades Boulevard
Palisades Boulevard/Fountain Hills Boulevard
Saguaro Boulevard/Palisades Boulevard
Palisades/Avenue of the Fountains
Functional Classification System
The implementation of any of the policies or approval of any project or study
presented in this Circulation Element to the General Plan 2002 must be
consistent with the hierarchy of streets, as defined by the functional
classification system. The functional classification system describes the
service performed, typical trip lengths, access spacing and continuity of the
Fountain Hills roadway system. For circulation planning as well as definition
of specific design criteria, roadways are most effectively classified by
function.
Roadways have two basic functions: Mobility and access to adjacent land
uses. From a design standpoint, these two functions have proven
incompatible. For land access, low speeds are desirable, and are often
accompanied by inconsistent traffic flows. For mobility, higher speeds and
uniform traffic flows are desirable.
Principal arterial roadways are designed and constructed to satisfy the need
for high mobility. Rapid travel in a safe and uniform manner is the primary
objective of these roadways. Multiple access points should be limited to
approved intersections to preserve the desired higher speeds, traffic
volumes and safety considerations characteristic of the roadway design.
Any increase in access points should be carefully examined.
Conversely, local roadways are designed to provide low -speed convenient
access to multiple adjacent land uses. Most roadway categories fall between
these two extremes and are the most difficult to categorize because the
roads must provide both mobility and access.
Town of Fountain Hills General Plan
63
Roadway functional classification establishes the type of circulation service
and access control provided by each roadway category. Increases access
control points permit a corresponding increase in traffic speed and potential
volume.
Principal Arterial Roadways
Principal arterial roadways are high traffic volume, full access -control roads
with intersection spacing dictated either by designated major highways or by
key access points located on other inter -regional facilities.
Minor Arterial Roadways
Minor arterial roadways are moderate traffic volume, full or partial access
control roads that provide service to retail, commercial and industrial land
uses. Minor arterials roadways may develop into principal arterials if traffic
volumes increase due to an increase in area development.
Major/Minor Collector Roadways
Collector roadways carry a relatively high volume of traffic within larger
neighborhoods and can accommodate the traffic volumes generated by
minor retail and other commercial services and are intended to provide
convenient traffic movement and access to the arterial roadways.
Limited Collector Roadways
Limited collector roadways, identified by wide travel lanes with landscaped
medians, provide access to larger cul-de-sac subdivisions. Developers may
use this roadway classification, at Town Council discretion, to provide single -
access for up to 90 dwelling units without the need for a secondary access
road.
Local Roadways
Local roadways are designed for slow -speed discontinuous travel conditions
and are used primarily for roadways with on -street parking and for cul-de-
sac streets. Local roadways serve abutting land uses and provide access to
higher -level roadways.
Most of the Fountain Hills roadway system consists of local roadways with
non-commercial abutting land uses or open space as an adjacent land use.
Hillside -Local Roadways
Hillside -Local roadways provide safe roadway design on steeply sloping
terrain while limiting the visual impact of development. Reduced setbacks
from pavement edge, pavement widths and right-of-way widths may be
possible in hillside areas. Such Hillside -Local roadways are available only
in subdivisions where at least 75% of the subdivision contains slopes in
excess of 10%, and with approval of the Town Engineer. On -street
parking is prohibited and two-way average daily traffic (ADT) is limited to
300.

jurisdiction, and therefore, was not included in the traffic counts.
Planned Transportation Improvements
New roadways will be completed as a part of the Eagle Ridge North and
■r Eagles Nest subdivision improvements. Arterial roadways in both
subdivisions will have striped and signed bicycle lanes.
Alternative Transportation Systems
Public Transit
The Phoenix Transit System, under contract with the Regional Public
Transportation Authority (RPTA), provides bus service to Fountain Hills.
r Daily bus service consists of two inbound express runs (5:57 and 6:20
a.m.), and two outbound runs (4:17 and 4:47 p.m. at Central and Van
or Buren) connecting between downtown Phoenix and the northeast corner of
Palisades Boulevard and La Montana Drive, via Saguaro Boulevard and Shea
Boulevard. No local transit service exists within the community.
Bicycle Pathways
The Town has developed a bicycle plan based in part on the design features
and recommendations of the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG)
Bicycle Plan. The plan includes striped bicycle lanes on Saguaro Boulevard
and on portions of Palisades Boulevard and Fountain Hills Boulevard.

Circulation Development Guidelines
Street Design Guidelines
The adopted roadway classification system found in the approved Town of
Fountain Hills Subdivision Ordinance shall be used for all new road
construction, and for re -construction of existing roads.
Driveway Design
The design and location of any driveway providing access to a property shall
be in accordance with the ITE Recommended Practice entitled Guidelines for
Driveway Location and Design, or as approved by the Town Council, based
on Planning and Zoning Commission recommendations. Driveways shall be
located so as not to inhibit the flow of traffic on the public streets and not
present a safety hazard by location or operation.
Minimizing the number of driveways along an arterial or collector roadway is
desirable. The use of joint -access drives serving more than one property, as
well as the interconnection of property access and parking areas is desirable,
thus reducing the number of driveways with access to the roadways.
Parking
The Town requires on -site parking using the design guidelines and layout
standards of parking facilities in accordance with the approved Town of
Fountain Hills Zoning Ordinance.
Traffic Signals
The Town monitors intersection service levels and safety. Any intersection
experiencing an undesirable level of service or an accident rate of more than
five per year, will be reviewed to determine if any of the warrants for
signalization as set forth in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices
(MUTCD) are met, and to determine if a traffic signal should be installed.
For optimum traffic progression and coordinated flow, traffic signal spacing
should be a minimum of one -quarter mile.
The following issues will be reviewed as a part of the consideration for
signalization:
• Meet MUTCD warrants
• Spacing of adjacent signals
• Cost/benefit
• Legal liability
• Maintenance costs
Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 1 66
Community -Wide Bicycle Plan
Design features for bicycle facilities must conform to standards set forth by
the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials
(AASHTO) and the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). Such
standards have been established for the following facility types:
• Class I - Exclusive Bike Path or Trail. An exclusive path
offers the highest degree of safety but is relatively
expensive to implement and maintain.
• Class II - Delineated Bike Path. This configuration is common
to most collector and arterial streets designated as bike
routes. Installation involves providing the lateral clearance
necessary for safe bicycle operations by the installation of a
paint stripe and supplemental signs and markings.
• Class III - Shared Roadway Bike Path. This configuration is
appropriate on lightly traveled collector and local streets. This
class of facility is the least costly to implement and maintain.
Drainage and Flood Control
The Town manages, coordinates and administers flood control regulations
with street improvement projects, including drainage and flood control
requirements, to ensure that all areas of Town are accessible during a 100-
year flood occurrence.
Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 1 67
Vision, Goals, And Objectives
Vision
Provide a safe, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing circulation network that
accommodates all modes of vehicular and non -vehicular movement in an
environmentally sensitive manner.
Goal One
Create safe and efficient patterns of circulation.
Objective 1.1
Provide criteria for the location of ingress and egress points along Shea
Boulevard.
Objective 1.2
Examine the viability and safety of frontage roads along Saguaro Boulevard
and investigate and mitigate the traffic conflicts, including traffic confusion,
reduced visibility and hazardous intersection conflicts that are generated on
those portions of arterial roadway that contain frontage roads.
Objective 1.3
Develop an Access Control Plan to ensure the functional integrity of the
arterial roadways and protect residents and business patrons from increased
exposure to conflicts that result from closely spaced driveways and curb
cuts.
The Access Control Plan should identify portions of roadway that could
benefit from the use of medians. Median breaks should be located not less
than one -eighth mile (660 feet) from the nearest intersection. The preferred
median break spacing should be one -quarter mile (1,320 feet), but may be
reduced with approval of the Town Engineer.
Median breaks at collector or local streets, or for major driveways should be
limited to a maximum of five per mile. Access points that do not align with
median break points should be restricted to right-in/right-out only.
Objective 1.4
Conduct periodic community -wide traffic volume counts on all arterial and
collector streets as a basis for future planning. Average daily traffic,
obtained through automatic tube counts, should be updated every two
years at each count location. In addition, manual turning movement
counts should be conducted periodically at key intersections, particularly
IL at those with high accident rates or rapidly increasing traffic volumes.
Objective 1.5
' The Town should develop neighborhood traffic control plans that will monitor
non -neighborhood "cut -through" traffic to determine if there is a need to
develop and implement a traffic -calming plan.
' Solutions should be individualized for each neighborhood, but may include
improved signage, movement control devises, "speed humps"; and, in
I
extreme cases, physically closing off streets or creating cul-de-sacs. It is
Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 68
important that any traffic calming solutions maintain adequate access for
local traffic and emergency vehicles.
Objective 1.6
The Town should continue to improve collector streets as required by
increased traffic volumes. All available public and private funding sources
should be researched to finance these improvements.
Objective 1.7
Encourage secondary access points to all new development areas for
temporary and permanent emergency access, including mountain and
hillside subdivisions.
Objective 1.8
Develop, adopt and implement special event parking and traffic
management plans and policies for the control of high volume traffic and
short-term localized traffic congestion and parking problems generated by
periodic special events.
Objective 1.9
To maximize roadway safety and efficiency, the Town should develop a
street light policy for major streets and evaluate the adequacy of existing
roadway illumination to determine whether guide signage is clear, legible
and properly located.
Objective 1.10
Periodically assess accident potential and operationally deficient areas to
determine future needs for traffic control measures and implement an
identification and mitigation program for high accident locations.
The Town Engineer should regularly review police data on traffic accidents,
flag high accident locations, and implement appropriate mitigations where
technically and financially feasible. Many high accident locations can be
mitigated using one or more of the TSM measures enumerated in Section
5.5.C.
Objective 1.11
Develop policies to address street -level drainage and wash crossings and
investigate the need for flood control and drainage accommodations at
drainage -ways and street crossings.
Goal Two
Provide aesthetically pleasing circulation systems.
Objective 2.1
Continue to enforce roadway right-of-way (R.O.W) standards and landscape
' design standards that emphasize safe, beautiful streetscapes using
xeriscape plants that provide shaded pedestrian and bicycle pathways.
' Objective 2.2
Encourage the design of off street parking areas that use xeriscape plants to
provide shaded pedestrian walkways to structures.
Town of Fountain Hills General Plan
69
Objective 2.3
The Town should not amend or waive its roadway standards to facilitate the
development of steeply sloping areas, particularly if development will
generate visible cut/fill scarring. The Town should deny any roadway
alignment or cut/fill waiver that would allow for the development of any
roadway that is visually inappropriate or incompatible with the terrain.
Goal Three
Provide for and encourage the use of non -vehicular modes of
circulation.
Objective 3.1
Ensure that new developments include provisions for pedestrian and/or bike
paths, and that those pathways are designated on development plans.
Objective 3.2
Implement bicycle routes and pedestrian trails in accordance with available
funding and community needs. The plan should be prioritized to serve the
following facilities:
• Schools
• Libraries
• Parks
• Government centers
• Commercial and employment areas
• Transit facilities
• Popular scenic/recreational sites
• Youth centers
• Arts and cultural facilities
Objective 3.3
Develop standards for bikeway systems along the roadway, off the roads, or
within washes and drainage -ways. Develop standards for pedestrian trails
in wash corridors.
Objective 3.4
Develop and implement a coordinated plan that will help to promote bicycle
usage and will include the design of safe bicycle facilities, including bicycle
parking, throughout the community. The plan should include provisions for
integrating local bike routes into the MAG regional bikeway system, and
should include the publication of a bicycle route map.
Objective 3.5
Establish and encourage pedestrian and bikeways that lead to and from all
school sites, activity centers, trails or recreational sites and provide cross -
transportation nodes that are safe, comfortable and attractive.

operation into the existing residential neighborhood and that reduce
vehicular trip generation.
Objective 3.8
Promote infill and mixed -use projects especially where resources and
infrastructure are completed.
Goal Four
Provide adequate provisions for regional public transportation.
Objective 4.1
The Town should conduct a community transit needs/feasibility study to
consider both the need for improved intra-community regional connections,
and the need for in -town service, possibly in the form of a van or dial -a -ride
operation. The existing RPTA regional transit plan, which encompasses all of
Maricopa County, could be used as a foundation and resource document for
the study.
Objective 4.2
Coordinate with the regional transit system to develop usable and
convenient bus routes.
Objective 4.3
Support the development of local dial -a -ride service within the community.
Objective 4.4
The Town should evaluate future park -and -ride facility needs and coordinate
their location with the bicycle/pedestrian pathway system.
Objective 4.5
Encourage the design and development of efficient, safe and aesthetically
beautiful and interesting regional transit and school bus stops that include
provisions for both morning and afternoon shade and trash containment.
Regional and local bus stops should be integrated into the community -wide
pedestrian and bike system.
Goal Five
Adopt a Traffic Impact Analysis requirement.
Objective 5.1
Adopt a policy requiring a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA), completed by a
registered professional engineer specializing in traffic engineering, as a part

Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 71
The Traffic Impact Analysis should incorporate graphics illustrating the site
development plan, physical roadway and driveway design and traffic volume
data. The Analysis should also include, but not be limited to, a description
and analysis and recommendations in regard to the following features as set
forth by Town policy:
• Physical Roadway Features
• Traffic Characteristics
• Speed Characteristics
• Existing Traffic Controls
• Traffic Generator Characteristics
• Analysis of Impacts and Deficiencies
• Identification of Mitigations
• Proposed Mitigation Implementation Plan
The TIA should include a comprehensive explanation of the design of access
points, their potential traffic impacts on adjacent arterial and collector
streets, and options for mitigation of problems.
The Town should retain the services of a professional traffic -engineering firm
(hereinafter called "the Traffic Engineer") to conduct a review of the TIA and
to prepare an unbiased assessment of the impacts of the proposed
development. Developers would be assessed a fee for this review.
Depending on the scale of the project and judgment of the Traffic Engineer,
the Traffic Impact Analysis could require different levels of assessment,
including, but not limited to:
' Access Analysis - to review curb -cut requests and assist with site
plan approval.
' Traffic Impact Study - to analyze impacts to adjacent streets as a
result of major projects or rezoning requests; and
' Transportation Plan Assessment — to review projects that would have
impacts on multiple traffic issues, such as Area Specific Plans.
u

The Town should require the project developer to implement the necessary
approved mitigations at no expense to the Town, or by equitable
proportioning of project costs, as approved by the Town.

WATER RESOURCES ELEMENT
Existing Conditions
Water Services
The Town of Fountain Hills receives water from The Chaparral City Water
Company, a subsidiary since 2000 of American States Water Company,
which is regulated by the Arizona Corporation Commission. Chaparral City
Water Company designed the water treatment and delivery system for the
Town in 1989 when the company was a wholly owned subsidiary of MCO
Properties. Chaparral Water Company controls supervision and
maintenance of the operations. Both administrative offices and the
maintenance warehouse are located in the Town.
Water is obtained primarily from an allotment of Central Arizona Project
(CAP), a nationally funded water reclamation project that delivers Colorado
River water to Phoenix and Tucson through a surface canal system.
Additional water is obtained from ground wells.
Chaparral City Water Company treats the water with a filtering and
clarification system that has been periodically upgraded. Water from the
Central Arizona Project is treated and stored in a facility located near
Fountain Hills Boulevard and Shea Boulevard. Additional water storage
reservoirs are located throughout the Town.
The Arizona Corporation Commission governs all utility rates including those
set by The Chaparral City Water Company. The Arizona Department of
Environmental Quality controls and regulates water quality.
Wastewater
Operation of the collection, treatment and disposal of sewage wastewater in
Fountain Hills is managed by the Sanitary District, a separate governmental
entity governed by an elected board. The Sanitary District owns and
maintains an underground pipe network, pump stations and the wastewater
treatment plant. Reclaimed wastewater is used to fill Fountain Lake and
other town lakes, and for landscape irrigation at Town facilities and Town
parks. Any excess wastewater is used to for turf irrigation at SunRidge
Canyon, Eagle Mountain and FireRock Country Club golf courses.
Early in 2001 the Sanitary District completed construction of a recovery and
recharge system that processes wastewater through additional filters and
injects the treated water through recharge wells into an underground aquifer
for storage. The excess water can then be recovered and used for
landscape irrigation during seasonal high demand months.
The Sanitary District is currently upgrading and modernizing the facilities to
designs and capacity anticipated for community buildout. The District office
and treatment plant are located in town.

ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING ELEMENT
Existing Conditions
Since inception, the Town of Fountain Hills has been very progressive in
environmental planning policy making and enforcement.
In contrast to most Phoenix metropolitan cities and towns, development
plans have been completed and approved for almost all land within the Town
boundaries. Some in -fill parcels remain, but, by and large, the community is
reaching the limits of growth, due in part to the fact that the Town has no
room for expansion.
The Town is fortunate that the original designers and policy makers had the
vision to preserve and protect the natural desert that remains as a
significant part of the community identity today.
In addition, the signature fountain and lake have been, from the beginning,
part of a water conservation system that uses and recycles reclaimed water.
The water conservation system now includes groundwater -recharging
stations.
The community consistently supports preservation and conservation efforts.
Town leaders recognize the importance of natural wash areas, preservation
of steep slopes, wildlife corridors and native plant communities and have
community -wide support for preservation.
Citizens value wildlife, natural beauty and scenic vistas and have, without
fail, sought to protect hillsides, washes and view corridors and encourage
builders to design with a contextual emphasis. The Town incorporates open
space areas into flood control and recreation areas.
The Town has stringent re -vegetation requirements in place that require the
restoration of disturbed areas with native plant species that are consistent in
type and density with the surrounding native desert.
The Town encourages alternative transportation modes, but ridership on
regional transit systems is restricted by the limited availability of regional
bus service. Regional bus service is provided twice each weekday by an
express route that connects to downtown Phoenix. The existing route allows
for connections to many metro -area bus routes.
Local bus service is not currently offered within the community, however the
Town maintains a contract with Maricopa County for a shuttle service that
makes several stops in town and connects to the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale.
Residents may use the shuttle service to connect to the region -wide transit
system.
Town of Fountain Hills General Plan 1 79
Preservation and Stewardship
Mountain Preserve and Wash Areas
The Town strives to preserve steeply sloping hillsides and major washes
from development. Residents consider the protection of wildlife ecosystems
and corridors, and their linkages through the community, together with
vegetation protection, to be important assets. It is the compatible
coexistence of the urban fabric nestled into the natural desert that is of
prime importance to residents in the community.
It is the closeness of the natural desert, in the hills with exceptional scenic
views and distinctive topographical features that makes Fountain Hills
unique in the Phoenix metropolitan area.
Additionally, the protection of the steeply sloping hillsides and washes serve
as one method of erosion control. The root structures of native plants serve
to bind the loose soil to the slope and limit particulate lifting into the air
during heavy winds.
= Trail System
' The Town does not currently have a Trail System in place. Certain sections
of the Town contain washes and hillside areas that are more appropriately
left undisturbed. More effective erosion control, native plant, and wildlife
' protection can be accomplished if the public is educated as to the fragility of
the natural desert and is aware of where trails are located.
tEducation Program
One effective method to preserve the desert is through public education.
Enabling residents and visitors to understand the unique habitat of Fountain
' Hills will serve to generate a wider stewardship of the desert. This
educational process should be age -varied and include informational wildlife
brochures, native plant seminars and nature walks with lectures. Interesting
' night walks in the desert, with astronomy guides, would serve to emphasize
the importance limiting outdoor lighting and encourage light shielding.
I' Hillside Protection
' The Town currently has an approved plant list that is used for landscaping
and re -vegetation requirements. Some areas of the existing natural desert
are filled with saguaro and their associated plants. Other areas contain
' cholla forests. Many washes are filled with dense stands of ironwood,
cottonwood and desert willow trees, while some streambeds are lined with
mesquites and palo verde trees.
' The existing list does not require that a re -vegetation plan differentiate
between the unique plant community in which the parcel is located.

' The Town has worked diligently to preserve steeply sloping hillside areas.
Areas of disturbance are required to be revegetated. However, the re -
vegetation plan currently does not require native plants are to be salvaged
from developing lots.
' Archeological Protection
The Town does not have a comprehensive surveys or studies of the Town's
' archeological resources; more study needs to be done to identify important
cultural and historical artifacts.
The Town now has a museum under construction where all historical and
' cultural resources can be properly preserved and where research and
educational programs can be developed and implemented.

' Transit
The Town is continuing to expand requirements for adequate and safe
' bicycle transportation pathways and is encouraging the expansion of
regional and local transit options.
See the Circulation Element for an expanded explanation of Town circulation
'
and transit conditions and objectives.
Reduce Pollution
Air Quality
'
Although air quality has diminished in the Phoenix metropolitan area, the
Town of Fountain Hills has been spared many of the lower valley air quality
problems. The Town has limited regional traffic because there are no
freeways in town and the major regional connecting streets, Shea Boulevard
'
for east/west travel, and the Beeline Highway for north/south travel do not
cross through the center of the community. This lack of regional traffic in
Town reduces carbon monoxide emissions.
Additionally, the Town discourages large lawn areas. Reduced lawn areas
require less mowing, thereby reducing gasoline -powered mower emissions.
Of further benefit, the Town's elevation is higher than the surrounding metro
area; therefore placing the community above much of the pollutant -laden
layer of air trapped near the ground during temperature inversion
'
conditions.
Airborne particulate matter is more of a problem. The Town controls
particulate matter by requiring paving and dust control measures for parking
lots, driveways, roadways and roadway shoulders. Unpaved vehicular areas
are limited to small sections of alleys with low traffic volumes. The Arizona
Department of Environmental Quality recommends paving or treatment of
dirt roads when they exceed 250 trips per day. There is no section of Town
that has unpaved roadways that generate 250 trips per day.
' The greatest generator of particulate matter in the Town is high wind. The
Town's policy of preservation of the natural desert has created an urban
pattern of housing and businesses surrounded and linked by open space and
natural washes. The natural desert and sandy wash bottoms are a source of
airborne particulates during blowing storms.
Street sweepers generate a second source of particulate pollution. The type
of dust that is thrown into the air by vehicles passing the street sweeping
equipment is known as PM-10 pollution, which refers to particulate matter
Iless than 10 microns in diameter.
See
Circulation
Element
page xx
Town of Fountain Hills General Plan
82
II
1
Newly designed equipment that will limit PM-10 particulate pollution is
' currently undergoing efficiency certification and should be incorporated into
the Town's municipal fleet.
Recycling
At present, the Town encourages recycling and the use of recycled
materials, but business owners and residents must take their recyclable
materials to central collection points. The Town should continue to promote
policies that encourage the use of recycled materials and promote recycling
efforts.
1 Control of Hazardous Materials
1 Currently the Town reviews the use and storage of hazardous materials by
businesses at the time of business permit application: Businesses that use
or store hazardous materials are required to obtain a Special Use Permit
1 before operations may commence. The Special Use Permit application is
reviewed by the Fire Department and a list of the hazardous materials is
retained for Town files.
I 1 Individual households wishing to dispose of hazardous materials require that
the individual bring the items to an appropriate disposal location.
1 Control Water and Wastewater Usage
Although the Town purchases water service from The Chaparral City Water
Company, and has no control of their operations, there are still ways that
the Town can seek to limit water consumption. Public education programs
that would provide information about low -flow water fixtures, the use of
xeriscape landscaping materials and drip or low -flow landscape irrigation
.systems would be useful.
At present, the Town is using reclaimed water to fill the lake at Fountain
�+• Park, for town -wide landscaping irrigation and for groundwater recharge. As
the Town develops, there will be a need to expand usage of greywater for
Town irrigation. Individual households should be educated as to how to use
greywater for household landscaping irrigation.
