It's my pleasure to be here to deliver the State of our Town of Fountain Hills. Before I begin I want to acknowledge the generosity of the Fountain Hills Chamber of Commerce for sponsoring this event and making this opportunity available to all the citizens of our community. (I also want to thank Frank Ferarra, the Board of Directors and all of you 1* . who are members of this terrific organization.) I especially want to thank all of you who have taken time out of your busy day to participate this morning (evening). I really appreciate this opportunity to talk to you in person about what your elected representatives and town staff have accomplished so far this year, and what we are working on and hope to complete in the future. In In the past, the State of the Town address has focused I, primarily on a long list of numbers and details, like how many miles of streets were chip -sealed or how many signs were tagged and entered into the Town computers. While these statistics are important, I don't think they give you the kind of full or accurate picture of how our town is really doing. And at this time in our history when we are facing so many crucial events, challenges and decisions, I think I'd rather spend our time looking at the big picture. Since the details are also important, however, Tim Pickering, our town manager, has been kind enough to compile a report entitled "Fountain Hills — A Year In Review." Copies of that report will be available to you on your way out today. For the remainder of our time together, I'd like us to pay attention to the more global, more critical issues that affect the people of our community. In I heard a great story the other day from City of Mesa Mayor, Keno Hawker. A father was reading his daughter a bedtime story, and the little girl asked him, "Daddy, do all fairy tales begin with "Once upon a time?" The father looked up from his book. "No, dear," he said. "There's a whole series of fairy tales that start with `If elected, I promise to ... "' The seven of us who were elected by you as your Town Council were elected because a majority of the voters trusted our vision and our commitment to getting things done. So what I'd like to talk about today is not about promises or fairy tales, but about real challenges and real achievements — about the goals, priorities, obstacles and accomplishments of our town government. A TIME OY GRANGE 2002 was a time of unprecedented change in Fountain Hills. As we all know, while change may be an inevitable fact of life, it is not always easy. Change is difficult, often messy and, sometimes, it comes at a high cost. But I believe that those of us who have perseverance, courage, optimism, and strong vision for the future find the means to make the changes we need to make. We may suffer what the poets call — "the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune" — but we get the job done — whatever that job may be. WHERE WE STARVED In June of 2002, when this Council took office the job was daunting to say the least. We were faced with a community seriously divided over a number of important issues. These divisions reflected themselves within our Town Council as well. We also faced three dangerous and contentious lawsuits against the Town. We had two interim Town Managers, an embattled Town Attorney, and a Presiding Judge about to retire. Local businesses were closing and moving out of town at an alarming rate. And, the further we got into 2002, the more we discovered about our huge budget deficit. IR A PERIOD OF GRIDLOCK Through much of the first six months, we suffered through what I think could best be called a period of gridlock. A lot of anger and acrimony was expressed in the press, in private conversations and in our public meetings as well. In fact, I think it is safe to say that we on the Town Council did not accomplish much in the first weeks and months of this new term, except perhaps to widen the gab between each other, the Town Staff and our citizens. As a result, those of us are your elected officials, the staff and all of us as private citizens were harmed and our community was further polarized. COOPERATION & ACCEPTANCE OF CHANGE Then, at last, when things were looking very dark indeed, we started dealing more effectively with the changes we had been elected to face. The members of the Council agreed to participate in a retreat and thanks to the courage of each of the members of the council, some valuable and terrific input from the staff and concerned members of the community, and some outstanding work by the firm who_ agreed to design and facilitate the retreat at no charge, the members of the Council and Staff were able to put aside politics and personal agendas and take a realistic look at where we were and what we had to do. Through a very unique and effective process we were able to admit that the threats facing our community were much bigger than our private, individual concerns and that by dealing honestly and respectfully with each other we had a much better chance of finding resolution to the difficult issues facing our town. At that retreat, we also accepted the fact that change was not going away. We accepted responsibility for our part in making a challenging situation worse. And we accepted the truth that our only hope for dealing with such major changes in our community, and of overcoming such dangerous threats to its well being, was in cooperation, mutual respect and greater trust. In short, we accepted the fact that we had to work together. ,,,+ For my part, one of the truest and most important things this experience has taught me about change and the process of governing is that none of us can go through it alone. I learned that no one can deal with all the issues and fix all the problems all by themselves. That `collective wisdom' — the wisdom of the members of the Council, the staff and the citizens taken together — is far greater than my own or the wisdom of any single individual. And when you're convinced that you're right, that your cause is just, this is a very humbling but very valuable lesson to learn. So for me, the bottom line is that as a result of the retreat I learned that we all need help. I need the wisdom and cooperation of my colleagues on the Town Council. Each of us as members of the Council needs each other. The Council needs the support of Town Staff. Town Government needs the assistance of our schools and community groups, our local business people, organizations like the Chamber, the merchants, and the best and brightest of all our citizens in Fountain Hills. In short, we're all in this together, going through incredible changes in our community and if we want Fountain Hills to be the special place we've always wanted it to be, it needs all of us to make it happen. THE RESULTS OF COOPERATION The proof as they say, `is in the pudding' and that is certainly true in this instance. As a direct result of our working together a lot of positive things have occurred. The most important and R critical result is our Town Council's ability to put aside our differences in favor of the common good. And for this, I'd like to take a moment to congratulate and celebrate my fellow Council members and others for their commitment to this terrific achievement. Mike Archambault, thank you for your painstaking attention to detail, your hours of preparation, and your tireless defense of the less privileged residents of Fountain Hills. John Kavanagh, thank you for your quick mind, your passion for your positions, and your constant commitment to the wise use of our taxpayers' money. Rick Nfelendez, thank you for wealth of business acumen, your ability to empower people, your generous and open-minded nature, and your unflagging respect for our system of government and the individual citizens we serve. Kathleen Nicola, thank you for your knowledge and experience of our legal processes, your keen oversight of our I%` Towns obligations and liabilities, and your firmly held principles of justice and fair play. Susan Ralphe, thank you for your high standards of personal and public conduct, for your fervent advocacy and defense of our natural environment, and for your undying commitment to and love for the land. Leesa Stevens, thank you for your years of experience in government process and protocol, for your broad understanding of our Town Code, for your commitment to preserving our natural inheritance, for your candor and your courage to call a "spade a spade". Tim Pickering and Andrew McGuire, thank you for all of your incredible work, your willingness to make some very hard decisions, for your good judgment and guidance. The Town Staff. What can I say? The work you do every day makes this town possible. Your willingness to go the extra mile, your courage to tell us the truth, your dedication to doing your best and your tireless support of the Council are greatly In appreciated. I also want to express a special thanks to George Cappannelli for your willingness to design and facilitate our Council Retreat at no cost to the Town. I know I speak for all of the members of the Council when I say that your valuable skills, experience and insight contributed greatly to the outcome. And finally, ladies and gentlemen all, with humility and sincerity, I thank you for your help these last weeks and months. Thank you for your countless hours of hard work, your support and ..0#1 encouragement, and your continuing commitment to a healthy, successful future for Fountain Hills. While the. members of the Council haven't agreed on everything and, fortunately for the good of the Democratic Process, never will; while we haven't yet managed to solve all of the problems or met all of our challenges, I truly believe we have found the secret to the good of Fountain Hills — that working together — intelligently, compassionately and effectively — makes all the difference in the world. And for that I know we are all very grateful. So thank you all. (Applaud.) The Record Is Beginning To Be Very Clear As a result of our coming together as a Council, we've been able to accomplish a great deal in a short period of time. We have hired excellent senior staff with our new Town Manager, Tim Pickering, our new Town Attorney, Andrew McGuire, and our new Presiding Judge, Ted Armbruster. These gentlemen took office under very difficult, unpredictable circumstances. Each has acquitted himself with skill, integrity and good humor. Gentlemen, ..r I congratulate you. (Applaud.) In this same spirit of cooperation we've held numerous public meetings on the Town Budget, law enforcement, fire safety, and downtown development. We have appointed blue ribbon panels and special citizen committees to research complex issues and offer us expert advice. We have settled two of the three lawsuits against the Town We have dealt with a staggering budget deficit, and we are winning the battle. Painful cuts in personnel and services were necessary, as was the sales tax increase that will take effect on April first. Neither of these actions was politically popular, but my fellow Council members had the courage to support them because it was the right thing to do. To that end, I want to extend a special tribute to the Town Staff. You have made some very difficult decisions and agreed to some personal sacrifices with common sense and a great deal of style. The budget crisis prompted some deep soul searching and some very tough and heart wrenching 1.. decisions and that under this difficult situation I believe that the Town Manager did a courageous job in consolidating positions and adding additional work load to others. Still, no matter how necessary, these cuts are not just about budgets but about people and I know that I speak for all of the members of the Town Council in expressing our deep gratitude to those members of the staff who either took eary severance packages or were asked to sacrifice their jobs for the good of the community. As I have said before, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, if there had been any other way to balance this budget, we would most assuredly have done so. I'm sorry that we could not, and I am very sorry for all who have been asked to make personal sacrifices by these drastic but necessary measures. I am pleased to be able to report to you this morning, however, that the budget cutting is finished. We have done what the community asked of us. We have cut all we can without jeopardizing the integrity of Town government and services. So, where do we go from here? PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE — TOP PRIORITIES The Budget: In the wise words of Yogi Bera, "It ain't over `til it's over." The budget deficit remains our most immediate problem, and it has not been completely solved yet. The budget cuts and sales tax are only part of the solution. The Primary Property Tax may be distasteful to most of us, but it is a necessary bridge to the final solution of our financial problems. Until a new Fire District is formed, we must have operating revenues for fire safety. The situation is simple: without an interim property tax, the bleeding will not stop. I'm confident that the petition to form a new Fire District will receive the required number of signatures. But we are far from that reality right now, and we can't wait. Both the sales tax and the primary property tax have built-in limits. As soon as another adequate source of revenue is established, they both go away. 9 9 Fire Safety and Law Enforcement: As soon as possible, we must resolve our disagreements about fire safety services in Fountain Hills. We must put this chapter behind us. Personally, I am a strong proponent of a new Fire District and will work as hard as I can to make it happen. But this must really be a new district that reflects the views and wishes of our entire community. The new district board and the firefighters' union must find a way to resolve past differences and work together. Law Enforcement & Public Safety In the same vein, we must resolve once and for all the issue of law enforcement in Fountain Hills. We must have one agency providing these services. We must have the courage to make this decision next month and move forward. In both cases, fire safety and law enforcement, I'm not saying it will be easy, but it can be done. (Indicate Town Council) We're living proof of that! Economic Development: I believe our next priority has to be economic development. We must create a healthy economic environment in Fountain Hills to ensure financial stability, sustain viability and prevent a recurrence of disastrous budget deficits. As a first step, I will invite my fellow Council members to agree to appoint a dedicated Economic Development Commission or Task Force, the particulars of which can be determined in the weeks to come. We must plan, deliberate) and effective) for an economy P � Y Y� Y that provides our residents with the services they require but does not harm the unique qualities of our community that we all enjoy. It's a complicated process, but it's not impossible. It has been accomplished successfully in many other communities across our country. And when the planning stage has been executed, we must do something about it. We must stop talking and start acting — quickly, decisively, positively - on our intentions. A prime ,. example is the scheduled Hilton Resort. As a matter of fact, we're discussing the Hilton at tonight's Town Council meeting and I expect we'll vote to approve the project. This is a $55+ million undertaking that will be an enormous boon to our economy, providing new jobs for Fountain Hills residents, new customers for our local merchants, and new tax revenues for our general fund. Studies estimate about $1 million per month in off -site local sales, not including an additional $18 million per year in operating revenue from resort operations, all of which will generate more than $500,000 per year in local sales tax revenues. This is exactly the kind of economic activity Fountain Hills needs, and the type of multifaceted development we want to attract to our community. Town Center III is another centerpiece of our economic revival. We need to continue to support the Developer's in their quest to bring to reality Takala — the 52-store Cinemas & Marketplace which would include the long-awaited 6-plex movie theater, the 100+ suites hotel, additional restaurants and retail, as well as, the plethora of resort condos which will add to the critical mass of downtown residents. One way to show our support is to approve the Consensus Team's Request for Proposal at tonight's Town Council meeting in order to create a new design for the Avenue of the Fountains between La Montana and Saguaro Boulevards. This re -design is critical in order to integrate our existing downtown corridor with the new Town Center III. Additionally, I believe it is time for Developer Stuart Rider to gain approval for his retail project at along Saguaro at the Beeline. After all, this represents the 4th year in which he has attempted to gain approval for the development of his property. Now is not the time to hold back on development. This recession will end shortly. As a voting member of the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) I have access to economic data well in advance of the general public. The data indicates that the recovery will begin in 2004 and the bull will reign in 2005. All these economic development projects are scheduled to come on- line by the fall of 2004... just in time to allow our Town to "run with the bulls"! Stewardship Equally important to the financial health of our town is smart, responsible stewardship. We must learn from our mistakes and commit to not repeating them. The dissolution of the old Fire District and the ensuing fallout has given us some hard-won wisdom. We must never again make fundamental changes in government policy or structure without first thoroughly investing the options, identifying adequate, permanent funding to support it and implementing a constructive, sustainable plan of action. We must also be responsible and intelligent stewards of our environment. We are blessed to live in one of the most beautiful, scenic and naturally harmonious landscapes in America. As a result, each and every decision we make as members of the Council, Town Staff and citizens of our community must be with a close and careful eye on our accountability to the land and to its unique spirit. Similarly,: Nye must be smart with the people's money. We can't waste it with unnecessary or inefficient spending practices. For instance, everyone who has studied our situation in the current Town Hall offices agrees that they are impractical at best, and that we're losing money every additional day we occupy them. So we have to explore ways to solve this problem. From my perspective, once we solve our current deficit, how long do you suppose it would take to earn the funds to build a new Town Hall? With a healthy economy, I'd say we could do it in about 2 years. And I think that's a much smarter, more responsible handling of taxpayers' money than continuing to pay rent on expensive, outdated, inefficient facilities. There are plenty of other creative ideas to discuss to build a strong, diverse economy and protect the financial position of our Town. We can talk with the School District about a joint effort to attract a small college or university to Fountain Hills, perhaps even 1.0 to take up residence in the old Town offices. We can discuss intelligent, attractive incentives to bring new businesses to Fountain Hills.. We can review Town ordinances that impinge on the success and profitability of existing businesses. We can have a serious conversation about community -supported arts and cultural programs and their beneficial effects on local commerce. There are all kinds of new ideas we can explore, develop and put into action. THE REAL CHALLENGE IS CHANGE But, before we solve any of this — our economy, our fire safety, our law enforcement, our budget deficit — we must make a fundamental choice. We must choose to change. I'm convinced that Mahatma Ghandi was right when he said, "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." We have to change the way we deal with each other. We have to remember that the values we learned in school, listen to in our churches and synagogues and teach our children are not simply things we say. They are things we need to demonstrate and practice each day. That's not really such a big change. All we have to do is give up a little ego and self interest. All we have to do is be a little more respectful, a little more caring, a little more open and honest with each other. All we have to do is learn to honor our differences in a respectful way. We've managed to do it in our Town Council. Now, we it's time — long past time - to achieve the same thing on a community level. The choice is in our hands. We can choose to be a real community. Not a patchwork of warring factions that cannot come together in agreement. We can choose to be a cohesive fellowship that acknowledges and respects our differences and then works together in cooperation for the highest, common good of all Fountain Hills. We can move beyond our past tendency to be ideologues who do not tolerate dissenting opinions or new ideas, and instead model sensible citizenship by using public debate to achieve consensus. We can choose to go beyond the concept of being a bedroom community that relies on our neighbors to .,,,J provide necessary commodities and services, and instead become a thriving self-sustaining town that accommodates the needs of all its citizens. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I will say it again. None of this will be easy. We will stumble in places, meet challenges and experience some disagreements at others. But I believe that challenge — as the Chinese say — is also a sign of opportunity and when I look into the future what I see is a lot of opportunity and a way of meeting a future that is absolutely possible. In part, I hold this point of view because the alternative is simply unacceptable. This community is filled with too many incredibly smart, talented, creative people. We truly have it within our power to make Fountain Hills whatever we want it to be. All we have to do is to have a little patience, a little hope and the willingness to work together. Then change becomes our friend and not an enemy, and our future becomes everything we dream it can be. Thank you. Questions?

I believe it is possible, with some time to work through the Agreement with the developer, that many of staff's concerns may be alleviated. However, in its current form, I must concur with staff's recommendation for denial. Because the Agreement is a necessary precur to the general plan amendment and the rezoning, all three items should be continued to, at a minimum, the first Council meeting in March. Please call if you have questions. M F 0 TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT TOWN COUNCIL MEMO TO: Mayor Beydler and Town Council v DT: February 13, 003 FR: Denise Ruhling, Planner7s . Development Agreement Between th �I own of Fountain Hills and Fountain Vist Properties LLC Fountain Vista Properties LLC has requested approval of a Development Agreement to compliment the proposed development of 9.91 acres of the site known as Final Plat "Fountain Hills Resort", Lot 1, thus allowing a multi -family development. Fountain Vista Properties (developer) has applied for a General Plan Amendment and Rezoning to allow Multi -Family residential on 9.91 acres of this site. The proposed Development Agreement addressed site design issues such as Hillside Protection Easement (HPE), maximum number of units, cut and fill issues and over height issues. Paragraph 5 — Limitation on the R-4 Multi -Family Residential District. The developer has proposed 71 "villas" as a maximum number of multi -family units. This number is well within the allowed unit per acre maximum set forth in the Town of Fountain Hills Zoning Ordinance, therefore, staff has no issue with this maximum unit number. Paragraph 6 — Waiver of Cut and Fill. Due to topography issues, there is the distinct possibility that the proposed "villas" will require cut and fill waivers to allow the developer to maintain the 30 feet height limitation for this zoning district. Staff believes that this can be kept to a minimum and therefore has not issue with this portion of the development agreement. Paragraph 7 — Land Disturbance Provisions. The proposed development addressed with this agreement would require the elimination of 8.53 acres of Hillside Protection Easement (HPE). In 1999 this property was rezoned and subdivided (from a larger portion of land). The existing HPE was a requirement of this approval. The developer proposes to pay the Town of Fountain Hills $150,000 for the elimination of the HPE. This total amount reflects a purchase price of approximately $.40 per square foot or approximately $17,548.99 per acre. The Town of Fountain Hills has allowed the purchase of HPE in three other cases; however, in those cases the approximate purchase price was $1.00 per square foot or $43,560 per acre. The proposed purchase price is significantly lower (60%) than the previously approved agreements. Staff recommends that the purchase of the HPE be denied. Paragraph 8 — L-3 Zoning District — Ten Year Lock. A portion of this paragraph states that the proposed "Resort/Hotel" will be constructed as soon as market conditions permit. In addition the agreement states that the owner agrees to start construction of the Hotel with in one year of �, the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy for the R-4 villas. The original rezoning (1999) to L-3 was to allow the construction of a Resort. While the developer agrees to pay fines ($50,000 a year for 10 years) if the Resort is not started, it is staff's recommendation that the Resort be built simultaneous to the construction of the multi -family project. Paragraph 9- Authorization of Special Uses. Developer proposes to use the 71 Villas as part of the Hotel's marketing pool to be used as additional rooms or time-shares. Staff takes no issue with this request. Other issues. This proposed development agreement does not include wording to allow the requirements of the agreement to transfer to any future developer/owner/partner of this site. Staff recommends that this issue be addressed within the agreement. Staff recommendation: Based upon issues stated above and within the Staff Report for the General Plan Amendment and Rezoning Application, staff recommends denial of this development agreement. DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT This Development Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into this day of jPeeomber-, 20021 20031, by and between Fountain Vista Properties, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company, together with its successors and assigns, (hereinafter referred to as "Fountain Vista or Ownerland Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona, an Arizona municipal corporation, (hereinafter referred to as "Town") .

Whereas, the Town's governing execution of this Agreement by Resolution No. which is attached to this Agreement. AGREEMENT body has authorized , a draft of NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements set forth herein, it is understood and agreed by the parties hereto as follows: 1. Recitals. The recitals set forth above are acknowledged by the parties to be true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference. 2. Town Council Action Requirement. The Town and Owner acknowledge that, notwithstanding any language of this Agreement or any subsequent additional document, any act, requirement, payment or other agreed -upon action to be done or performed by the Town under the Agreement will be effective only upon formal Town Council action. 3. Site Development. The parties agree develop the Fountain Hill's Resort -Villas Site, "Conceptual Site Plan' attached hereto as Exhibit F, the final zoning stipulations and the final site plans the Town("Site Plan"). 3 that Owner may as shown on the in accordance with to be approved by 9 4. L-3 Zoning District. The parties acknowledge that the official Zoning Districts Map has been heretofore amended by Ordinance 99.23 to reflect the Zoning District designation of 23.03 acres of land as shown on Exhibits A and B as L-3 P.U.D. Lodging Zoning District ("Site"). Compatible with the Town's Zoning Ordinances, Owner now desires and therefore proposes to provide for a well -designed and attractive medium density lodging facility for this Site. This Zoning District allows for medium density resort hotel and other associated lodging uses in areas that are surrounded by medium density single family residential uses. The principal use in this Zoning District is to allow lodging facilities of up to fifteen (15) rooms per acre. The conceptual Site Plan reflects such compatibility as shown in Exhibit F and is approved. It is further authorized and approved that 9.91 acres as shown on the Site Plan on Exhibit F and as legally described in Exhibit G will have L-3 Zoning District replaced by R-4 Zoning District for 9.91 acres. The adjoining open space recreational area will remain unchanged and unmodified as identified in Exhibits C and D consisting of 36.64 acres. The area of allowed disturbance of the now approved L-3 area will be modified in order to permit and extend the R-4 area consisting of 9.91 acres to the previously approved outer boundary of the L-3 Zoning District boundary area. The remaining L-3 P.U.D. Zoning District shall consist of 13.11 acres. 5. Limitations on the R-4 Multi -Family Residential District. The principal purpose of the R-4 Multi -Family Zoning District is to provide for multi -family residential developments in locations which are suitable and appropriate taking into consideration existing conditions, including present use of land, future land use needs and availability of public utilities. The uses permitted in the R-4 Zoning District include two family dwellings, multiple -family dwellings and the uses permitted in a single-family residential district. Consistent with that purpose, seventy-one (71) villas as depicted in the Site Plan are hereby approved for the 9.91 acres of R-4 Zoning District. These units are referred to as ("Villas"). The actual number of Villas in the R-4 Zoning District shall be limited to and shall not exceed seventy-one (71) Villas. 4 6. Waiver of Cut and Fill. The Town has adopted (November 1983 and Revised July 2002) a maximum building height ordinance for R-4 Zoning Districts at thirty (30) feet. As defined in the Zoning Ordinance, the building height is measured from the natural, pre-existing grade le,,, -el or proposed grade whichever is lower, to the highest point of the structure. The Town hereby grants a waiver to this height requirement in the R-4 Zoning Districts for the 71 Villas because Owner has provided for certain aesthetic requirements and several design elements that limit the visual appearance of the structures to a thirty (30) foot maximum. The proposed structures depicted in the Site Plan are limited to three (3) stories maximum, with outdoor living spaces associated with the lower level. The outdoor living spaces must be designed into the lower levels at the end of the units of the structures. These spaces must be sunken into the land to blend with the natural topography while creating private attractive inclosed outdoor spaces for residents. The outdoor living spaces are to be sunken below the "natural -pre-existing grade level" concealing the lower level of the structure. Furthermore, the sunken outdoor living spaces and lower level of the building must be concealed by a series of terraced retaining walls limiting the visual appearance of the overall building height to thirty (30) feet height prescribed in the Ordinance. The terraces will be landscaped with native and naturalized plants, further enhancing the appearance of each of the Villas so that the end view of the building will be limited to the thirty (30) foot height requirement. The combination of outdoor living spaces concealed by landscaping and walls combined with limited offsite visibility and the cut and fill provisions set forth herein will mitigate the aesthetic impact where the str. i ctures exceed the thirty (30) foot requirement. Adding these design feu _ -.zres (sunken outdoor living spaces, terraced walls and landscaping) will give the appearance of not exceeding thirty (30) feet above the "natural" terrain, thereby meeting the intent of the ordinance. Each site for a Villa will be designed on a site specific basis to conform as closely as possible to the natural terrain giving flexibility to the buildings and optimizing the landscape character. This waiver of the Town's height requirement shall nevertheless limit the maximum height of each building to 30' above the natural grade. 1 7. Land Disturbance Provisions. The Town has established land disturbance standards to allow the reasonable use and development of land while promoting the public health, safety, convenience and general welfare of the citizens of the Town. These standards are to help maintain the character, identity and image of the Town. The primary objectives of the land disturbance standards are to minimize the possible 5 loss of life and property through the careful regulation of development; to protect the watershed, natural water ways; to insure that all new development is free from adverse drainage conditions; to protect against soil erosion; to minimize the scaring of the natural terrain and preserve the general visual character of graded sites; and to provide for protection of existing landscaping by encouraging the retention of natural topographical features, native vegetation and wildlife habitat. Consideration has been given to these objectives with respect to this Property by providing for conservation of natural environmental function of the Site, compatible with the surrounding land and preservation of the natural capacity of drainage courses and protection of natural drainage ways. Owner has heretofore provided portions of the Property legally described in Exhibits C and D as an open space recreational zoning district ("OSR" ). Accordingly, the OSR meets those aims and purposes. Further, in consideration of the rezoning of the 9.91 acres of the L-3 P.U.D. Lodging Zoning District to R-4 Multi -Family Residential Zoning District for a maximum of seventy-one (71) Villas, and the payment of $150,000 to the Town by Owner, the Town hereby waives the land disturbance standards and hereby authorizes and permits the expansion of the non -disturbance area of the original L-3, P.U.D. to embrace all of the 23.03 acres of land as legally described in Exhibits A and B in order to permit 9.91 acres of the L-3 area to be converted and used as R-4 Zoning District consistent with the Site Plan attached as Exhibit F. 8. L-3 Zoning District - Ten Year Lock. Owner hereby agrees that the 13.11 acres of L-3 P.U.D. Property shall be used solely and exclusively for hotel purposes ("Hotel") in accordance with L-3 land uses and no other purposes. This limitation shall apply for a period of ten (10) years and Owner agrees that it is precluded from rezoning or altering the use of those 13.11 acres to any other use. A Hotel shall be constructed on the L-3 Property as soon as market conditions permit and market demands support such construction. Owner agrees to start the construction of the Hotel within one (1) year of the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy for any of the R-4 Villas. If the Hotel property construction is not started within one (1) year of the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for any of the 71 Villas in the R-4 Zoning District, Owner shall pay the Town the amount of $50,000 per year until the construction of the Hotel commences on the Site. The maximum obligation of Owner under this provision shall be $50,000 per year for ten (10) years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner's payment obligation under this paragraph shall cease and terminate at the time Owner commences construction of the Hotel on the Site. herstFuetion) Commencement of construction) of the Hotel property shall rrwan the submission of Hotel plans to the Town for approval of thy: Hotel construction [and issuance of grading permit].

If the submitted plans are not approved within ninety (90) days of proper submission and more time is taken by the town. (hereinafter "Period of Delay") Owner's requirement to commence construction shall be extended by the Period of Delayl. 9. Authorization of Special Uses. The Town approves the special uses and purposes of the 71 Villas to be used as a part of the Hotel's marketing pool. The Owner, in constructing and building the 71 Villas, will use reasonable efforts to enter into an agreement with the hotel owner operator which would authorize the use of the Villas in a marketing pool of the Hotel, managed by the Hotel for which hotel services shall be provided ("Marketing Pool"). The Villas may be placed in the Marketing Pool if they are unoccupied, by the Owner of the respective Villa, for up to one (1) day or for any extended periods of time as may be agreed by the Villa owner and the Hotel operator. Any rentals of the Villas in the Marketing Pool by the Hotel Property will be subject to the Town's hotel bed and board taxes as they may be applicable to other hotels and motels in the Town. Appropriate and proper accounting shall be provided by the Hotel Property identifying the Villas in the Marketing Pool and the number of days the Villas have been rented out for Hotel purposes. Under such agreement, owners of the Villas will be authorized to use the Hotel amenities on such terms and conditions as other guests and invitees of the Hotel Property. 10. Mutual Benefits.

O��'tAIN a ap O�• 4 `that is , Copies Routed To: ❑ Administration ❑ Engineering ❑ Community Development ❑ Parks and Recreation ❑ Magistrate Court ❑ Marshals Department v DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT This Development Agreement (this "Agreement") is entered into c24 Cv . 2003, by and between FOUNTAIN VISTA PROPERTIES, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company, together with its successors and assigns ("Fountain Vista" or "Owner") and the TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS, an Arizona municipal corporation (the "Town"). i-MralaI"Wq A. ARIZ. REv. STAT. § 9-500.05 authorizes the Town to enter into development agreements with landowners and persons having an interest in real property located in the Town. B. Fountain Vista is the owner of (i) 23.03 acres of land as legally described in Exhibit A and graphically depicted in Exhibit B, each attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, which has been designated as zoning district "L-3 P.U.D.", Lodging Zoning District (the "Existing L-3 Area") and (ii) an additional 36.64 acres, as legally described in Exhibit C, and graphically depicted in Exhibit D, each attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, being designated "OSR", Open Space Recreational Zoning District (the "OSR Area"). The Existing L-3 Area and the OSR Area are collectively referred to herein as the ("the Property"). C. The Property was the subject of a zoning case that amended the text of the Town's Zoning Ordinance pursuant to Chapter 2, Section 2.01 of the Zoning Ordinance and amended the official Zoning Districts Map of the Town pursuant to Ordinance 99-23, passed and adopted August 16, 1999. D. The Town and Owner desire that the development of the Property should proceed in a manner that will preserve the existing character of the area and allow the Owner to provide for uses of the Property compatible with the Town's Ordinances. E. Upon completion of the independent legislative acts of the Town Council contemplated herein (rezoning and general plan amendment), this Agreement shall be consistent with the Town's General Plan. F. The parties hereto acknowledge that this Agreement constitutes a "Development Agreement" within the meaning of ARIZ. REv. STAT. § 9-500.05, and that, in accordance therewith, it may be recorded as to the Property in the Office of Maricopa County Recorder so as to give notice to all persons of its existence and the parties' intent that the burdens and benefits contained therein will be binding and inure to the benefit of the parties and all their successors in interest and assigns as provided in this Agreement. G. The Town and Owner now desire to rezone 9.91 acres of the Existing L-3 Area to "R-4", Multi -Family Residential Zoning District (the "Proposed R-4 Area"), as legally described in Exhibit E and graphically depicted in Exhibit F, each attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The remaining 13.11 acres of such Existing L-3 Area shall remain as L-3 P.U.D. (the "Proposed L-3 Area"). 9196.010\Fountain Vista Dev Agt.v8.doc 2-27-03-1 H. The Town Council of the Town of Fountain Hills has authorized execution of this Agreement by Resolution No. 2003-08, a true and correct copy of which is attached hereto as - Exhibit G and incorporated herein by reference. AGREEMENT NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements set forth herein, it is understood and agreed by the parties hereto as follows: 1. Recitals. The recitals set forth above are acknowledged by the parties to be true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference. 2. Town Council Action Requirement The Town and Owner acknowledge that, notwithstanding any language of this Agreement or any subsequent additional document, any act, requirement, payment or other agreed -upon action to be done or performed by the Town under the Agreement will be effective only upon formal Town Council action. 3. Site Development. The parties agree that Owner may develop the Property as shown on the "Conceptual Site Plan" attached hereto as Exhibit H and incorporated herein by reference (the "Site Plan"), in accordance with the final zoning stipulations and the final site plans to be approved by the Town. 4. L-3 Zoning District. The parties acknowledge that the official Zoning Districts Map for the Existing L-3 Area has been heretofore amended by Ordinance 99.23 to reflect the Zoning District designation "L-3 P.U.D.", Lodging Zoning District. Compatible with the Town's Zoning Ordinance, Owner now desires and therefore proposes to provide for a well - designed and attractive medium density lodging facility for the Proposed L-3 Area. This Zoning District allows for medium density resort hotel and other associated lodging uses in areas that are surrounded by medium density single family residential uses. The principal use in this Zoning District is to allow lodging facilities of up to fifteen (15) rooms per acre. The Site Plan reflects such compatibility as shown in Exhibit H and is hereby approved, including the change in use of the Proposed R-4 Area shown as multi -family residential use; provided, however, that Such Site Plan approval is contingent upon (i) the Town Council's approval of the General Plan amendment for the Property, (ii) the Town Council's approval of the rezoning for the Property and (iii) further review and approval of the Site Plan as set forth in the Town's Zoning Ordinance. The adjoining OSR Area will remain unchanged and unmodified. The area of allowed disturbance of the Existing L-3 Area will be modified in order to permit and extend the Proposed R-4 area to the previously approved outer boundary of the Existing L-3 Area. The remaining Proposed L-3 Area shall consist of 13.11 acres. 5. Limitations on the R-4 Multi -Family Residential District The principal purpose of the R-4 Multi -Family Zoning District is to provide for multi -family residential developments in locations which are suitable and appropriate taking into consideration existing conditions, including present use of land, future land use needs and availability of public utilities. The uses permitted in the R-4 Zoning District include two family dwellings, multiple -family dwellings and the uses permitted in a single-family residential district. Consistent with that purpose, not to 1 9196.010Tountain Vista Dev Ab .v8.doc 2-27-03-1 2 exceed seventy-one (71) villas as depicted on the Site Plan are hereby approved for the Proposed R-4 Area (the "Villas"). 6. Waiver of Cut and Fill. The Town has adopted (November 1983 and Revised July 2002) a maximum building height for R-4 Zoning Districts at thirty (30) feet. As defined in the Zoning Ordinance, the building height is measured from the natural, pre-existing grade level or proposed grade whichever is lower, to the highest point of the structure. The Town hereby grants a waiver to this height requirement as applied to the Proposed R-4 Area for the 71 Villas. Owner shall provide for certain aesthetic requirements and design elements that limit the visual appearance of the structures to a thirty (30) foot maximum. The proposed structures depicted in the Site Plan are limited to three (3) stories maximum, with outdoor living spaces associated with the lower level. The outdoor living spaces must be designed into the lower levels at the end of the units of the structures. These spaces must be sunken into the land to blend with the natural topography while creating private attractive enclosed outdoor spaces for residents. The outdoor living spaces are to be sunken below the "natural -pre-existing grade level" concealing the lower level of the structure. Furthermore, the sunken outdoor living spaces and lower level of the building must be concealed by a series of terraced retaining walls limiting the visual appearance of the overall building height to thirty (30) feet height prescribed in the Town's Zoning Ordinance. The terraces will be landscaped with native and naturalized plants, further enhancing the appearance of each of the Villas so that the end view of the building will be limited to the thirty (30) foot height requirement. The combination of outdoor living spaces concealed by landscaping and walls combined with limited offsite visibility and the cut and fill provisions set forth herein will mitigate the aesthetic impact where the structures exceed the thirty (30) foot requirement. Adding these design features (sunken outdoor living spaces, terraced walls and landscaping) will give the appearance of not exceeding thirty (30) feet above the "natural" terrain. Each site for a Villa will be designed on a site specific basis to conform as closely as possible to the natural terrain giving flexibility to the buildings and optimizing the landscape character. This waiver of the Town's height requirement shall nevertheless limit the maximum height of each building to 30 feet above the natural grade, not to exceed 40 feet above the finished grade. 7. Land Disturbance Provisions. The Town has established land disturbance standards to allow the reasonable use and development of land while promoting the health, safety, convenience and general welfare of the citizens of the Town. These standards are to help maintain the character, identity and image of the Town. The primary objectives of the land disturbance standards are to minimize the possible loss of life and property through the careful regulation of development; to protect the watershed, natural water ways; to ensure that all new development is free from adverse drainage conditions; to protect against soil erosion; to minimize the scaring of the natural terrain and preserve the general visual character of graded sites; and to- provide for protection of existing landscaping by encouraging the retention of natural topographical features, native vegetation and wildlife habitat. Consideration has been given to these objectives with respect to this Property by providing for conservation of natural environmental function of the site compatible with the surrounding land and preservation of the natural capacity of drainage courses and protection of natural drainage ways. Owner has heretofore provided the OSR Area to meet those aims and purposes. In order to avoid impacting the OSR Area, it is necessary to increase the disturbance area allowed on the Existing L-3 Area to allow for a maximum of seventy-one (71) Villas. Therefore, the Town hereby waives the land 9196.010\Fountain Vista Dev Agt.vS.doc 2-27-03-1 3 disturbance standards applicable to the Existing L-3 Area only and hereby authorizes and permits the expansion of the disturbance area by 8.53 acres to embrace all of the 23.03 acres of land within the Existing L-3 Area in order to permit 9.91 acres thereof to be rezoned and used as the Proposed R-4 Area, consistent with the Site Plan. 8. Payment to the Town; No -Build Easement; Reduced Setback As consideration for (i) the reduction in the possible size of the hotel use on the Existing L-3 Area and (ii) the grant of additional land disturbance on the Property, the Owner shall (a) pay the Town $371,567 ($1.00/ ft2 x 8.53 acres of additional allowed disturbance) as follows: (1) $100,000 upon issuance of a grading permit for the Property and (2) $271,567 upon the issuance of the first building permit for construction within the Proposed R-4 Area and (b) execute an easement (the "No - Build Easement) in favor of the Town over + 1.38 acres of the Proposed R-4 Area, as described in Exhibit I and depicted in Exhibit J, each attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, limiting construction within such No -Build Easement to roadways, parking areas and landscaping. The Town and the Owner understand that, in order to accommodate the No -Build Easement, Owner will need a reduction in a portion of the required setback in the Proposed R-4 Area. Town hereby approves a reduction in the required setback from thirty (30) feet to five (5) feet for only that area designated as "Reduced Setback Area" on the Site Plan. It is the Town's understanding, based upon the Owner's assertions, that a separate agreement is to be entered into with neighboring property owners prior to the execution of this Agreement, ensuring that the Owner will not seek to utilize the OSR Area for a period of years following the execution of this Agreement. 9. Agreement Adoption and Effectiveness The Town agrees to approve or disapprove the General Plan amendment and the rezoning of the Proposed R-4 Area at the same Town Council hearing as approval of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be null and void if (i) the General Plan amendment and/or rezoning are not approved at the same Town Council hearing as approval of this Agreement, (ii) any party files, within thirty (30) days of the date of approval hereof, a verified petition with the Town challenging the General Plan amendment, (iii) any party files, within thirty (30) days of the date of approval hereof, a verified petition with the Town challenging the rezoning for the Proposed R-4 Area or (iv) any party files, within thirty (30) days of the date of approval hereof, a verified petition with the Town challenging the validity of this Agreement. The Town and the Owner agree that nothing in this Agreement shall affect the Town's ability to approve or deny the proposed General Plan amendment and rezoning of the Proposed R-4 Area and/or impose conditions on development of the Property. 10. L-3 Zoning District - Ten Year Lock Owner hereby agrees that the 13.11 acres of the Proposed L-3 Area shall be used solely and exclusively for construction of a first class, full -service resort hotel (the "Hotel") as such term is defined in the Town's Zoning Ordinance and in accordance with L-3 land uses and no other purposes. This limitation shall apply for a period of ten (10) years from the date of this Agreement and Owner agrees that it is precluded from requesting a rezoning or alteration of the use of the Proposed L-3 Area to any other use. If Owner requests a rezoning or alteration of the uses permitted on the Proposed L-3 Area, this Agreement shall immediately become null and void except that the Town shall retain the $371,567 payment set forth in paragraph 8 above. The Hotel shall be constructed on the Proposed L-3 Area as soon as market conditions permit and market demands support such construction. Owner agrees to commence the construction of the Hotel within one (1) year of the 9196.010\Fountain Vista Dev Agt.v8.doc 2-27-03-1 El issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy for any of the Villas located on the Proposed R-4 Area. If the Hotel construction is not started within one (1) year of the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for any of the 71 Villas in the Proposed R-4 Area, Owner shall pay the Town the amount of $50,000 per year, due and payable on the anniversary date of this Agreement, until the construction of the Hotel commences on the Property. The maximum obligation of Owner under this provision shall be $50,000 per year for ten (10) years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner's payment obligation under this paragraph shall .cease and terminate at the time Owner commences construction of the Hotel on the Property. For the purposes of this Agreement, "commencement of construction" of the Hotel shall mean (i) the submission of Hotel building plans to the Town for approval of the Hotel construction, (ii) approval of such building plans by the Town, (iii) issuance of a grading permit for the Proposed L-3 Area, (iv) completion of the grading necessary on the Proposed L-3 Area, (v) issuance of a building permit for the Hotel and (vi) commencement of construction of a substantial portion of the Hotel structure. The plans shall be prepared by a registered architect and/or licensed engineer together with a payment of all appropriate fees that may be required by the Town's Ordinances applicable thereto. If the submitted plans are not approved within ninety (90) days of proper submission, including Owner's resubmittal and correction of all issues raised by the Town's redlined comments to same, and more time is taken by the Town with respect to such review (a "Period of Delay"), Owner's requirement to commence construction shall be extended by the Period of Delay; provided, however, that an extension of time to commence construction of the Hotel shall be Owner's sole remedy for the Town's failure to approve plans within ninety (90) days. After construction on the Hotel has commenced, Owner shall ensure that the Hotel is "actively "developed" as defined in Section 7-1-2 of the Town Code. If, at any time after commencement of construction, the Town determines that the Hotel is not being "actively developed", Owner shall be obligated to pay the Town the $50,000 per year penalty set forth in this Section 10; an extension of the Hotel building permit shall not relieve the Owner of this payment obligation. 11. Authorization of Special Uses The Town hereby approves the special uses and purposes of the 71 Villas to be used as a part of the Hotel's marketing pool. The Owner, in constructing and building the 71 Villas, shall use reasonable efforts to enter into an agreement with the Hotel operator which would authorize the use of the Villas in a marketing pool of the Hotel, managed by the Hotel for which hotel services shall be provided (the "Marketing Pool"). The Villas may be placed in the Marketing Pool if they are unoccupied by the Owner of the respective Villa for up to one (1) day or for any extended periods of time as may be agreed by the Villa owner and the Hotel operator. Any rentals of the Villas in the Marketing Pool by the Hotel will be subject to the Town's hotel bed and board taxes as they may be applicable to other hotels and motels in the Town. Appropriate and proper accounting shall be provided by the Hotel identifying the Villas in the Marketing Pool and the number of days the Villas have been rented out for Hotel purposes. Under such agreement, owners of the Villas will be authorized to use the Hotel amenities on such terms and conditions as other guests and invitees of the Hotel. 12. Mutual Benefits. The Town and Owner agree that in making the promises contained in this Agreement that certain benefits and advantages will accrue to both parties as a result of the performance of this Agreement, and that therefore this Agreement is being entered into in reliance upon the mutual benefits afforded each of the parties. 9196.01 OTountain Vista Dev Agt.v8.doc 2-27-03-1 R 13.

This request also includes a request to Rezone a 9.91 ± acres of this parcel from L-3 (lodging) to R-4 (residential multi- family). APPLICANT: Fountain Vista Properties, LLC OWNER: Fountain Vista Properties, LLC EXISTING ZONING: L-3 (lodging) EXISTING CONDITION: Vacant LOT SIZE: Entire Site 23.03 acres. Rezone/GPA area 9.91 acres. SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING: NORTH: Open Space zoned "OSR" and Existing Single Family Residential zoned "R1-10" and "R1-43" SOUTH: Open Space zoned "OSR" and Shea Boulevard EAST: Open Space zoned "OSR" and Existing Single Family Residential zoned "R1-10" WEST: Existing Residential zoned "R1-43" and Vacant Multi -Family Residential zoned "M-1" SUMMARY: This application proposes to change zoning from the current L-3 PUD (lodging) to R-4 (multi- family high density). The purpose of this zoning change is to allow the applicant to build 71 multi- family residential units. This site was rezoned from R1-43 to a combination of L-3 PUD (lodging) and OSR (open space, recreational) in August of 1999. The purpose of the PUD was to alter the density so that no more units than proposed at that time could be built, keeping the lot coverage to a minimum. The previously approved development included a Resort with 178 rooms and 72 casitas, to be used as Fountain Hills Resort Case Number GPA2002-01 & Z2002-11 "lodging" also covering approximately 14.5 acres with an additional 8.53 acres designated : a Hillside Protection Easement. The proposed development area would replace the 72 casitas with 71 multi -family town home villas, add 36 corporate villas, and would expand the development area requiring the elimination of the previously designated "Hillside Protection Easement". The increase of the development area is based on the fact that the proposed multi -family town home villas will range in size from 1,600 square feet to 2,350 square feet, significantly larger that the planned casitas (1,150 square feet), the addition of a third row of buildings and a third interior access road. Height of the proposed town homes will not exceed 30' from natural existing grade. The outer limits of this proposed development is over 600 feet from the closest single family residence providing a buffer zoned "Open Space Recreational". Access to the site will remain as previously proposed with one access from Palisades Boulevard. Parking requirements will increase from 440 spaces to 534 spaces with the addition of the multi- family use. Proposed parking includes 199 underground spaces, 102 garage spaces, and 233 surface spaces. The applicant has held various meeting with the Westridge Village Homeowners, both group and individual settings. Staff attended the community meeting held on December 17, 2002. Concerns expressed by the residents at this meeting included traffic flow (both within the development and on Palisades), light intrusion (from the additional roadway on site), noise, open space, the blocking of their view and the affect that this type of development would have on their property values. A considerable amount of time was spent discussing these issues. EVALUATION: The General Plan "Proposed Land Use Map" designates this property for Lodging thus requiring a Minor General Plan Amendment to allow the rezoning to Multi -Family Residential (high density). Surrounding uses, as outlined in the "Proposed Land Use Map" are as follows: North: Park and Single Family Residential (medium density) South: Park East: Park West: Multi -Family (medium density) and Government The General Plan states "Any proposed amendment to the General Plan may not result in an adverse impact to the community as a whole, or any portion of the community. Amendments should occur only after careful review of the request, and of findings of fact in support of the revision at public Hearing". The applicant has requested that they be allowed to pay the Town for the Hillside Protection Easement. Section 504 of the Subdivision Ordinance explains the requirements for Hillside Protection within the Town of Fountain Hills. These requirements are based on slope percentages and the disturbance limits on each level of slope. The existing Hillside Protection Easement (HPE) Page 2 of 4 Fountain Hills Resort Case Number GPA2002-01 & Z2002-11 was a requirement of the approved preliminary/final plat approved in 2000. The impact of development in close proximity to the zoning separation line could result in damage to the surrounding native topography in the "OSR" zoning designation. Based on this possibility staff is concerned about the elimination of the HPE. Changing the zoning designation from L-3 to R-4 will greatly increase the development impact on this site. Those impacts are as follows: Increased density — The R-4 zoning district allows 21.78 dwelling units per acre and allows for 50% lot coverage. The L-3 zoning district allows for 15 rooms per acre and allows 25% lot coverage. This is a significant increase in density. An option for the applicant to consider would be a less intense multi family zoning district such as M-3 allowing 12 dwelling units per acre and a 50% lot coverage. $.S 3 . Elimination of the HPE — The Town of Fountain Hills has adopted a Hillside Protection requirement process to protect our natural topography. The increased density and elimination of the HPE do not support this process or requirement. Staff believes that the proposed development will not only impact the currently designated HPE but the development of the site in such close proximity to the lot line could impact the surrounding "OSR" zoning district. Cut and Fill — The proposed development will necessitate cut and fill waivers. The applicant has requested that these waivers be a part of the proposed development agreement. The original approval of L-3 PUD did address cut and fill requirements, however, the need for these waivers will increase with the increased density on the site. Traffic - The addition of Residential to this site will impact the flow of traffic and daily trip counts. Parking requirements for residential zoning districts are significantly different from the parking requirements in the lodging zoning district. Staff will require a new traffic study to support the proposed road/driveway designs, parking and external/internal traffic circulation patterns for the site. Phased Development — The applicant is requesting, as part of the development agreement that the multi -family residential be developed prior to the development of the Resort. The proposed development agreement stipulates that the construction of the Hotel will begin within one (1) year of the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy on the R-4 villas. The purpose of rezoning this property to L-3, August 1999) was to accommodate the building of a Resort to compliment the Fountain Hills area. It is staff's opinion that the Resort and multi -family should be constructed simultaneously. The Planning & Zoning Commission reviewed this application in Public Hearing at their January 23, 2003, meeting. Twelve speakers (from the public) were heard at the meeting. Of the Twelve speakers eleven were opposed and one supported this application. Those in opposition stated the following reasons for opposition: light intrusion, increased traffic, sacrificing of the Hillside Protection Easement, significant change from original plan, open space, lack of guarantee that the project (Resort) will be completed. The supporter stated the following reasons for support: Page 3 of 4 Fountain Hills Resort Case Number GPA2002-01 & Z2002-11 Resolution from Chamber of Commerce in support of development, Hillside Protection Easement requirement has been overridden in past developments, and economic impact to Town. Planning & Zoning Commission comments included: Hillside Protection Easement concerns, mixing Multi - Family with Resort; secondary access requirement, consideration of M-1 zoning instead of R-4, parking, cut and fill issues, economic support for the Town and that by upholding current requirements on this site, we are allowing the developer to use only a small portion of his land. The Planning & Zoning Commission voted to recommend approval of the General Plan Amendment and Rezoning by a vote of three (3) ayes and two (2) nays. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning & Zoning Commission recommends approval of the proposed amendment to the Town of Fountain Hills General Plan that would change the Existing and Proposed Land Use Maps from the designations of "Other" and "Lodging" to the designation of "Multi -Family Residential High Density" for property located north of Shea Boulevard, East of Palisades Boulevard, and south of Westridge Village (a portion of final plat "Fountain Hills Resort" Lot 1). Case Number GPA2002-01 The Planning & Zoning Commission also recommends approval of the proposed rezoning of 9.91 ± acres of land, located north of Shea Boulevard, East of Palisades Boulevard, and south of Westridge Village (a portion of final plat "Fountain Hills Resort" Lot 1) from the "L-3 PUD" to the "R-4" zoning districts. Case Number Z2002-01 Based on the impact issues (increased density, cut and fill waivers, traffic and parking concerns and the proposed phased development) stated in the staff report staff believes that this proposal does not meet the criteria of a General Plan Amendment and recommends denial of the proposed amendment to the Town of Fountain Hills General Plan that would change the Existing and Proposed Land Use Maps from the designations of "other" and "Lodging" to the designation of "Multi -Family Residential High Density" for property located north of Shea Boulevard, East of Palisades Boulevard, and south of Westridge Village (a portion of final plat "Fountain Hills Resort" Lot 1). Case Number GPA2002-01. Based on staffs recommendation to deny the General Plan Amendment the rezoning application is not in conformance with the General Plan. Therefore staff recommends denial of the proposed rezoning of 9.91 ± acres of land, located north of Shea Boulevard, East of Palisades Boulevard, and south of Westridge Village (a portion of final plat "Fountain Hills Resort" Lot 1) from the "L-3 PUD" to the "R-4" zoning districts.

A Geotechnical Report. 2. A Drainage Report. 3. A complete revised set of Improvement Plans. 4. A retaining wall calculations and details. All comments are number keyed on plans. 1. The Driveway approaches need to be as deep and perpendicular as possible for easy and safe access and for traffic visibility when exiting. 2. A minimum of 20 ft is required to park in front of the garage. 3. At all roadway tee -intersections, the roadway alignment and grades must be designed per the Town Sub -Division Guidelines for safe visibility of traffic flow patterns. 4. Minimum roadway width must be 24 ft. Consult with the Fire Department. 5. Some proposed garages might need turnarounds. We will review and analyze the merit of the driveway turnarounds with the Improvement Plans. Driveways at units 60 and 61 are a good example for a needed turnaround. 6. How is drainage runoff controlled, conveyed and contained? Provide a preliminary Drainage Report showing runoff directional flow arrows, swales, drainage structures and spillways, etc. 7. Meander or avoid long stretches of the retaining wall adjacent to the sidewalk along Palisades Boulevard. Revise the plan to match prior approved Improvement Plans, which showed only (2) retaining walls. 8. The outer most areas of the project site shall need a lot of retaining walls and fill slopes. Show proposed retaining walls and slopes; show top and bottom retaining wall elevations and heights. 9. The roadway, driveways, and sidewalks shall meet Town of Fountain Hills, Fire Department, and A.D.A. Standards. 10. Consult with Planning and Zoning Department about maximum cut and fill heights allowed. 11. Proposed buildings 62 through 66 and 67 through 71 are very close to the rear boundary with very little back yard. The buildings will require many terraced retaining walls. Consult with Planning and Zoning Department about set backs, wall heights allowed, and other design criteria. 12. The roadway along and adjacent to the east and north boundary has very little room for retaining walls and fill slopes. Show the proposed retaining walls and fill slopes. Consult with Planning and Zoning Department about retaining walls heights allowed. 13. Provide a 5 ft wide sidewalk along one side of the roadways and leading to the hotel area complying with A.D.A. Standards. Provide handicap ramps at the appropriate intersections and driveways. 14. Roadway width is to be 26 ft in areas with parking on both sides of the road. 15. What type of refuse service is proposed? 16. Redesign driveways at those units that share a common entrance. Vehicular parking in either driveway cannot obstruct the entrance/exit to the adjacent units (see units 1, 2, 3 and 4); revise any area with this problem. 17. Delete the circular median island- as it will cause confusion and may result in creating safety issues. 18. Stripe the entrance road for (1) left turn only lane and (1) shared right turn and through lane. 19. Revise the median design to comply with comments 17, 18, and 20. 20. Delete the parking spaces, as they obstruct the vehicular line of sight looking east. Convert this area to a landscaped island. 21. Units 67-69 — garages are too close to the road. This configuration will not be approved (check all driveways). 22. Access to units 56, 57, and 58 (and others) are not feasible with a vehicle parked in the opposite driveways. Also, the 35 ft distance between garage doors is inadequate for this type of a duel spaced driveway design. Provide a 50 ft minimum distance between garage doors.

Denise -----Original Message ----- From: Mjsmithsrl@cs.com [mailto:Mjsmithsrl@cs.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 01, 2003 5:20 PM To: Ruhling, Denise Subject: Planning Meeting for Hotel Site Denise, Can you please tell me when the planning meeting is for the Hotel's request to add residential to the project. I have been unable to find a date in the paper. Has the developer submitted any kind of study that shows what the impact of removing 72 hotel rooms from the original plan will have. I have talked to people who plan conventions and they tell me that companies don't want to have their people at more than one hotel because of the cost. Further, they tell me that they don't want golf and other activities at different locations because it adds to the cost. This hotel will have to compete with whatever the indians build on their land. They have a great golf course, a casino, and lots of vacant land. I just don't see this little hotel (which will now have 72 less hotel rooms) being able to make a dent in the convention market. If I am right, one of two things will happen. First, the developer will admit that it can't work right after they breakground for the houses. Second, the hotel will flop and our home values will drop because of being next to something that is a flop. It may even be a partically completed flop. I hope the city is thinking about this kind of thing and demanding a study from a good market research company. I owned a company that did this kind of study for years and I can tell you there are a number of them out there that will put their stamp of approval on anything as long as they get a check. We need to use good judgement because we will end up with it. Logic says this thing would have a hard time making it as it is-.:rrently zoned - even their investors admit that. It is going to have a much more difficult time on,.,, -ey have converted 72 rooms to residential. Look at the number of sq ft of convention space per remaining room and compare it with the other convention hotels in the area. This is a joke. One that I don't want to have to live with.

We understand and approve of the resort being built on this propery, but strongly oppose allowing the additional 9.1 acres to be used . This property was not originally designated for this use. Some of our concerns are: noise, blocking of views, traffic flow, light intrusion, affect on property values in the area, and taking away our open space concept. Please reconsider before it is too late!

Fountain Vista Properties General Plan Amendment Denise, Here's another, Tom -----Original Message ----- From: Ciccarone, Mike Sent: Tuesday, February 04, 2003 8:19 AM To: 'dward@fh.az.gov' Subject: Concerns re. Fountain Vista Properties General Plan Amendment To: Tom Ward, Director of Public Works Re.: Proposed Amendment to Fountain Vista Properties Development Plan Dear Director Ward, As new residents of Fountain Hills and homeowners in the Westridge Village complex, we shocked to learn that the Planning and Zoning Commission approved the recent proposed amendment submitted by Fountain Visa Properties during your meeting on January 23. While we support any development of the surrounding area that will contribute positively to the growth of Fountain Hills and to the revenue of the town, we strongly object to the amendment presented — and approved - at the meeting. Passage of the amendment is particularly perplexing, since the Town of Fountain Hills Community Development staff strongly recommended AGAINST rezoning of the additional 9.91 acres of land. Our objections are based on the following: • The amendment as presented is in direct violation of Fountain Hills Hillside Protection requirement. Fountain Hills has pledged to protect our natural topography as our town expands. For the Planning and Zoning commission to grant a waiver on such an important point not only bodes ill for our immediate community, but for the town as a whole. How many other such "waivers" will be granted in future? The increased density of this rezoning (50% lot coverage versus the approved 25%), coupled with the waiver of the Hillside Protection requirement, greatly impacts the development. The amendment changes zoning from the previously approved "lodging" plan, to "multi -family high density." Gone are the proposed 72 high -end casitas, up go 71 multi -family town homes for rent. Gone are the 8.53 acres previously approved as a Hillside Protection Easement. The most obvious ramification of such a violation beyond the environmental impact is the toll it would take on the surrounding properties, including the potential for decreased property values. This impact can and will have a ripple effect on other properties in the area since values are driven in large part by comps. • The increased density will also impact noise and traffic flow, and parking requirements would be 2/4/2003 Page 2 of 2 vastly different from the original plan. Such a change would also likely necessitate additional entry points into the development. It is nothing short of astonishing to us that the Planning and Zoning commission approved the amendment before ensuring that a traffic flow study to determine impact was completed. The developer is proposing a "phased construction", beginning first with the multi -family residential areas. It has come to our attention that there is no written agreement between the Hilton and Fountain Vista Properties regarding the proposed resort — to be constructed a full year later, according to the developer. Word is that Hilton may manage the property, but is not putting any money into the project. Who is running this project? Without any financial risk involved, Hilton has no vested interest in monitoring the development. What guarantee does the community have regarding remaining development of the land if the Hilton plan should fall through? Are we then looking at a mass building of high -density condos and apartments — hardly a benefit to the community or to the community or the town as a whole. It is the role of the planning and zoning commission to act in the best interest of town residents. We do not see how any development that could lower the property value of its neighbors, create unnecessary noise and traffic while also destroying valuable open space, can be viewed as in the best interest of our community. Considering the fact that the Fountain Hills Community Development staff recommended against passage of this amendment, we are amazed and distressed that the Planning and Zoning Commission passed such a measure, without further study. We have made our concerns known to the City Council in hopes that they will take appropriate action at the upcoming February meeting. �w Sincerely, David C. McCann Susan J. Fallon 15203 E.

Palisades Blvd. Suite 203 Fountain Hills, AZ 85269 (480) 836-0535 fax: (480) 836-0575 GENERAL INTENT OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT PREFACE: The existing plan for the Fountain Hills Resort, as located on Figure#1 (Site Vicinity Map), was zoned and platted in 1999. The site planners for Fountain Hills planned in advance for a resort in this location. The future surrounding residents were notified prior to their purchase of the impending resort and were comfortable with the advent of the zoning case. They were pleased with the quality of the proposed development. The zoning case was timely and the applicant was assured at that time by outside operators of the positive feasibility of the application submittal. The original proposal had issues that were resolved during the entitlement process. Cut and fill, intensity of use, parking, and egress points were all subjects carefully reviewed for aesthetics, safety and compatibility to the Fountain Hills dream. The Fountain Hills Resort with the help of the applicant's concept, the experienced consultants and operator's suggestions came up with a very high style proposal. The applicant's intentions are not only to adhere to the previous standards, but to exceed the previous plans. They plan to add extra value to increase the viability of the project while maintaining the general specifications as accepted in the past. PURPOSE OF REQUEST: The purpose of this request is to amend the previously planned land use to include a residential component allowing individual unit ownership. The current zoning is L-3 which allows for lodging, the amended R-4 use would allow for actual condominium sales. A significant effort has taken place by the applicant over the past three years to market the Resort as originally planned. Recently development of mega -resorts within 20 miles (2200 resort rooms between 3 properties alone opening by end of 2002), the September 11 aftermath in the hospitality industry in general and the lenders' absolute reluctance to finance any new lodging projects requires other preferred alternatives to develop this property. The applicants have been very diligent in their attempt to market the property and have been enjoying professional guidance from the project licensor, Hilton Hotels. The common desire by Hilton, as well as by venture partners and consultants calls for an alignment of a residential ownership with a traditional destination resort operation. Such mixed use development has become a must concept for any new upscale lodging projects nationwide. Examples from the Valley of the Sun include Arizona Biltmore, Pointe Resorts, The Phoenician and Four Seasons. For any of these properties, the residential component is the key to their operating survival. For the Fountain Hills Resort project, the residential component appears to be the key to its materialization. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL: The previously approved plans do include 72 casita units yet the type of zoning (L-3) does not allow a fee -simple unit sale. The request to amend the zoning at the center of the property is to facilitate various forms of ownership which are a mainstream in Fountain Hills Resort Amendment Fountain Vista Properties L.L.C. today's hospitality market (from timeshares through fractional ownerships to outright resort -type home ownerships). The actual number of the newly proposed villa units is 71 (one unit less than before), and the location of the villas is similar as before. A slightly larger area is needed to accommodate the larger proposed units. The massing of the units is similar to before. The parking will be coordinated, as before, to facilitate easy access to both the resort and the residential villas. Since a fair percentage of the units is expected to be managed by the resort operator (through a rental pool agreement), a two-way access is enabled: for the villa residents to enjoy the resort amenities, for the resort personnel to service the units. For that purpose also, the proximity and architectural integrity of the lodging and residential components are crucial to achieve the feel of a uniform resort complex. The actual L-3 outer boundary area (Lot 1 — 23.03 acres) will be left as is, the proposed R-4 area replaces 9.91 acres of the L-3 area. The OSR area (Tract "A" — 36.64 acres) will be left as is. The proposed R-4 area will be highly buffered from the nearest neighbors by OSR areas both as part of the Fountain Hills Resort and the OSR area provided by the residential development to the north. See Figure#2 (Approved Development Plan) for a detailed picture as approved in the past. Figure#3 (Proposed Development Plan) details the proposed amendment. RELATIONSHIP TO SURROUNDING PROPERTIES: The applicant has provided a detailed site plan showing the location of the proposed units (Figure#3). The distance to the hotel has only slightly been decreased due the enlargement of the casitas. The configuration of the villas has been sensitively designed to provide a great appeal from the outside far -views and to reduce monotony of close -in views. Garages are provided for each unit, each oriented with varying angles to enhance interior drives. In turn the variation of the garages and the sensitive detailing of the units have allowed a spectrum of attractive of entry details. The most affected surrounding use may be considered the actual resort. As stated above, the operators very experienced in the development of resorts have been the instrumental force in requesting this amendment. Using the setbacks required by the Town of Fountain Hills, 90-feet, there is then a substantial buffer for the owner -occupied units to allow for needed comfort and convenience. Other neighbors are less affected by the proposal. The impact on neighborhood was addressed with the previous proposal which enjoyed a rare support from the local community. A recent aerial photograph (Figure#4 — Arial Vicinity View) shows the recent development of the vicinity. Since the entitlement of the Fountain Hills Resort, several new developments have occurred. Numerous homes, commercial centers and added improvements impacted the neighborhood. The neighbors to the south (at Shea Blvd. — Firerock Country Club), neighbors to the east (planned Palatial Estates) and to the west (Crestview) will hardly sense a change in the project scope. The neighbors to the north (Westridge Village) will be impacted to a slight degree with the appearance of the mountain mass south of them. All of their open -space views (south across Shea Blvd., including Mesa city lights) will remain unobstructed. A demonstration of the new situation by means of a photosimulation will be presented to the neighborhood at a meeting planned for mid December. The presentation will also be available for a review by staff, P&Z Commission and Town Council. Fountain Hills Resort Amendment Fountain Vista Properties L.L.C. LOCATION AND ACCESSABILITY: As stated above and detailed in Proposed Zoning Map (Figure #5), the proposed R- 4 site is located within the previously zoned L-3 site. Access will be as before via the main entry drive that was carefully designed and located via a traffic and sight line engineering study. Within an adequate stacking distance a circle with monumentation has been designed to direct hotel users to the hotel, and R-4 residents to their proper drive. Extra drives will be designed within the proposed R-4 area This allows for greater frontage to the proposed units so as to provide safer entry and access points, aesthetic design details and landscape buffering. Each of these drives and outside parking areas has been designed to create traffic calming, safe parking maneuvering sight lines, and aesthetic access to the luxury casita units. DEVELOPMENT SCHEDULE: It is the intent of the applicant to develop the resort and the casitas in a concurrent fashion. The proposed amendment will accelerate the actual critical start dates. Immediately following the approval of the zoning amendment, vertical construction documents should be commenced by DFD Architecture (the largest commercial architects in Arizona), with an expected submittal to the Town of FH within 4 months from the approval date. Actual ground -breaking as per the already approved site and engineering plans (off -site improvements, grading etc.) should occur by June, 2003. Fountain Vista Properties is ready to enter into a Development Agreement with the / Town of Fountain Hills to ensure the entitlement and development of the Resort and its Residential Component according to the mutual desire. CIRCULATION SYSTEM: The circulation system to the R-4 area will be similar to the previous plans, keeping in place the loop circulation system connecting the entry and auxiliary exit points at Palisades Blvd. The main entrance will be as before, but as mentioned above, has been amended to provide both calming and distinct separation. Additional access routes will be provided for added access to the units. Individual drives will be directed in a variety of angles to add appeal and safety. COMMUNITY FACILITIES AND SERVICES: The impact on community facilities and services will be increased slightly by the future casita residents -owners. They will shop for more permanent products, they will frequent a greater variety of stores in the area, and they will be more a part of the community itself. Police, fire and refuse services should not be affected by a different type of use of the casitas. There should be similar demand, if not lower, as anticipated with the original approval. There is even an expectation of a more "orderly behavior" of the residents due to the vested interest in their properties they will have under the new concept. School services may be slightly impacted depending on the future residents. It is generally presumed that most of the future residents will not be year-round. Less than permanent residents, those using the property as a second home will not typically add to a student population. Fountain Hills Resort Amendment Fountain Vista Properties L.L.C. The applicant and the operators are considering different types of sales scenarios. The choice between year-round, fractional and vacation ownership sales shall be made according to the outcome of the market and feasibility studies currently performed by most renowned international hospitality consultants. PUBLIC UTILITIES AND SERVICES: Use of public utilities and services will slightly increase. Access to utilities has been very favorable (taps on Palisades Blvd.) and proper servicing of the whole resort complex does not represent any major challenge. A more detailed layout shall be provided by project civil engineers upon a site plan submittal. It is generally expected to have more plumbing per each residential unit, due to the added square footage of units and actual addition of plumbing fixtures. There will be potentially a similar amount of users as previously planned, so the actual increased demand on services may be hard to quantify until the actual users allow for a real -picture analysis. DRAINAGE: Drainage solutions are apparent due to the topography of the site and the two washes traversing the whole 60-acre property. More than half of the property is in an OSR zone that is left the same as before. The approved system from the past will be enhanced to accommodate the project modification. The drainage system will be designed by the project civil engineers and will accommodate the solutions as per enclosed letter by civil engineers. OTHER INFORMATION ON THE RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT: Composition: The newly proposed Residential Component proposes 71 residential units which is one unit less than the originally planned and approved casitas, yet the unit size has increased to 1,600 to 2,350 square feet. The unit size and shape varies across the site with the objective to optimize it to the natural terrain's topography. For a more detail comparison of the unit count and size, please refer to Figure #6 — Unit & Parking Comparison Overview. Sections: Proposed Section and Elevations (Figure #7, Section A -A) details how the units are designed to fit within the needed 30-foot height requirements. Cut and fills as previously agreed to will be maintained throughout the entire development. Architectural Styles and Theme: The architecture of the "amended" units will be compatible to the resort. The elevations provided in Figure #7 may be modified along with the final design for the Resort, to be decided between the project owner and DFD Architecture (a signature design currently under process). The theme of the landscaping, color choices, site architecture and fixtures will be carried throughout the whole development. Previously proposed details and architectural features that were approved will be consistent with the amended plan. Fountain Hills Resort Amendment Fountain Vista Properties L.L.C. Proposed Floor Plans: T -e will be a wide variety of unit types provided. Proposed Floor Plans (Figure #8) detai tit floor options. Different sizes, bedroom combinations and orientations will add value . the development, the neighborhood and the marketability. Parlang: g here will be additional parking spaces needed due the new type of casita/villa units. Previous casitas required 1.75 space per unit, the amended villa units will require 2.25 spaces per unit. The total difference due to the plan modification will be 94 spaces (see Unit & Parking Comparison Overview — Figure #6). Fountain Hills Resort Amendment Fountain Vista Properties L.L.C.

Case no. Z2002-12 This request is for consideration of an application to Rezone Lots 5 and 6, Block 6, Final Plat 412- B, located at 19000 East Shea Boulevard, east of Cereus Wash between Shea Boulevard and Firebrick Drive; and includes a request for the abandonment of the non -vehicular access easement (N.V.A.E.) on the Shea Boulevard frontage and the dedication of a new non -vehicular access easement (N.V.A.E.) on Firebrick Drive. APPLICANT: SheaProp LLC/Rider Land & Development LLC. OWNER: Stephen J. Ventre, Donald & Juanita Gheens, Schiller Family Trust EXISTING ZONING: R1-43 PROPOSED ZONING: C-2 EXISTING CONDITION: Vacant Land LOT SIZE: 113,691.60 SF (2.61 acres) SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING: NORTH: Vacant land, zoned "C-2" SOUTH: Single family residential, zoned "R143" EAST: Crossroads Convenience Center, zoned "C-2" WEST: Vacant land, zoned "R1-43" with Firerock Resort Casitas beyond, zoned "R-5" SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting approval of an application to rezone the two adjacent vacant lots from R1- 43, single family residential/one acre per dwelling unit, to C-2, intermediate commercial zoning; and is also requesting the abandonment of the non -vehicular access easement (N.V.A.E.) on the Shea Boulevard frontage and dedication of a new non -vehicular access easement (N.V.A.E.) on Firebrick Drive. The zoning ordinance describes the principal purpose of the C-2 zoning district is to provide for the sale of commodities and the performance of services and other activities in locations for which the Kiel r Shc, Ruonc 200 y.doc Page 1 o(. 7 market area extends beyond the immediate residential neighborhoods. The applicant is proposing to construct a one-story office -commercial project on the two lots. The Town Council voted to amend the Town's General Plan to reflect commercial uses on the property on August 6, 1998. The General Plan 2002 update that was adopted June 20, 2002 also indicates General Commercial on the Existing Land Use map (Exhibit 3) and shows General Commercial/Retail on the Proposed Land Use map (Exhibit 4). The General Plan 2002 text relates the requested C-2 zoning designation to a Generalized Land Use Designation of Service/Employment which is consistent with the proposed office/retail uses (page 14). The applicant proposes to construct a small-scale highway commercial project that will have approximately 20,600 square feet of leaseable space for retail and restaurant uses. The applicant is targeting intra-city commuters and hopes to provide business that will not compete with the local downtown retail traffic. As proposed, the project will not require any transfer of disturbance, density transfers or lot join requests. Cereus Wash will remain untouched. The proposed development would take all access from Shea Boulevard and would eliminate any rear access from Firebrick Drive by dedicating a non - vehicular access easement (N.V.A.E.) along Firebrick Drive. The dedication of the N.V.A.E would mean that no driveways would be allowed to enter or exit onto Firebrick, thus protecting the residential neighborhood to the south from all traffic generated by the project. The applicant is also proposing to plant a row of trees in the right-of-way on Firebrick Drive that would help to screen the proposed project and existing fast-food restaurants on the north side of Shea Boulevard for the homeowners directly south of the site. The project owner would maintain the trees. The existing businesses across Shea Boulevard from this location are Wendy's, Arby's, Taco Bell and an automotive repair facility. Further west on Shea Boulevard are partially and fully developed retail centers, motel and service stations and the regional shopping center, Four Peaks Plaza containing Target. The proposed project would be compatible with the existing Shea Boulevard regional commercial development and would not compete with the local business development in the Town Center. This request is the fourth request to rezone the property to Commercial uses. The chronology of the past applications follows: Chronological Accounting of Stuart Rider Rezoning Applications ❑ JULY 23,1998 — PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ■ GPA98-01— General Plan Amendment Public Hearing and Consideration -Request to re -designate Plat 412B, Block 6, Lots 5, 6, and 7 from Single-Family/Very Low to General Commercial/Retail. Increased traffic and possible detraction from the downtown area were the concerns expressed by the Commission. Rider Shea Re/one 2tX) -doc Pa,c 2 of 7 The Commission recommended denial of the General Plan Amendment by a unanimous vote (5-0). ■ Z98-10 — Rezoning Public Hearing and Consideration Request to rezone Plat 412B, Block 6, Lots 5, 6, and 7 from "R1-43" to "C-3 PUD". No discussion. Item died for lack of a motion. ❑ AUGUST 6, 1998 — TOWN COUNCIL ■ GPA98-01 — General Plan Amendment Public Hearing and Consideration -Request to re -designate Plat 412B, Block 6, Lots 5, 6, and 7 from Single-Family/Very Low to General Commercial/Retail. Public comment centered on reduced property values, lighting issues from a retail center, the changing of the character of the neighborhood from residential to commercial, and traffic concerns. Staff (Jeff Valder, Planner) expressed concern regarding the over -abundance of commercially zoned lands, that efforts for development of commercial lots in the town center should be emphasized, and that uses not viable to the town center be considered for other commercial areas. Staff also pointed out that the retail center proposed would be taking access off Shea Boulevard and that the developer would be bearing the cost of improvements that would be necessary at that location. Members of the Council felt that the commercial area along Shea Boulevard would not infringe on the downtown development and that it was in the best interest of the town to ultimately rezone this property for commercial uses because of the increase in tax revenue that would be generated. It was also noted that specific concerns could be addressed when zoning changes were discussed. Resolution 1998-40 to re -designate Plat 412B, Block 6, Lots 5, 6, and 7 from Single- Family/Very Low to General Commercial/Retail passed by a unanimous (6-0) roll call vote. ❑ AUGUST 13, 1998 — PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ■ Z98-10 — Rezoning Consideration -Request to rezone Plat 412B, Block 6, Lots 5, 6, and 7 from "R1-43" to "C-3 PUD". Applicant requested a reduction in the rezoning request from "C-3 PUD" to "C-1" (no re -noticing required) The Commission unanimously (4-0) voted to continue the item until a traffic study was done. Pidcr Sh ,l R'./, ❑ OCTOBER 22, 1998 — PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ■ Z98-10 — Rezoning Public Hearing and Consideration -Request to rezone Plat 412B, Block 6, Lots 5, 6, and 7 from "R143" to "C-1". Increased traffic was cited as a concern, as well as the impact to surrounding residential property owners by having a commercial development so close to them. It was brought up that the "C-1" zoning uses were not consistent with "highway retail" type of commercial that would normally be seen in an area with high traffic volume. It was pointed out "C-1" uses should be in the town center where they were generally more aesthetically appealing and that the types of uses in a "C-3" zoning district would not be allowed if the zoning was changed to "C-1". The Commission recommended a denial of the rezoning request by a 6-1 vote. ❑ NOVEMBER 5,1998 — TOWN COUNCIL ■ Z98-10 — Rezoning Public Hearing and Consideration Request to rezone Plat 412B, Block 6, Lots 5, 6, and 7 from "R1-43" to "C-1". Staff (Jeff Valder, Community Development Director) said that the town had received a significant number of phone calls, petitions, and letters of opposition to the proposed rezoning. Mr. Valder suggested that, because the town center was a high priority for commercial development and given that the town had an over- abundance of commercially zoned land, it would be prudent to wait on this rezoning request until the town center development was completed. Randy Harrel informed the Council that the traffic study showed that there would be no significant traffic impact to the area and that a traffic signal would not be necessary. The public's concerns were related to the affect the commercial development would have on the surrounding residential neighborhoods. Members of the Council agreed with the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation concerning the timing of the development and the viability of the downtown area if this rezoning were approved at this time. It was pointed out that most of the "C-1" uses did not require high traffic areas. Other members of the Council in favor of the rezoning stated that there would be an increase in sales tax revenue and that the downtown area was a different market than the Shea Boulevard location and would not be impacted by the Shea development proposed. Town Council denied the rezoning request by a vote of 5-2. ❑ DECEMBER 9,1999 — PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ■ Z99-23 - Rezoning Public Hearing and Consideration -Request to rezone Plat 412B, Block 6, Lots 5 and 6 from "R1-43" to "C-1". The Commissioners discussed whether the General Plan should have been amended. Some of the Commissioners thought that the original designation was correct, and others thought that the "R143" zoning that was currently in place was a gross error. One Commissioner thought there was no need to consider rezoning at this time because it was likely that lots 5-7 would ultimately be developed as multi -family residential and that it was more probable that only lot 4 would be developed as single-family residential. Staff stated that one of the stipulations included that the applicant contribute to the widening of Shea Boulevard. Another stipulation would require the widening of the culvert and that there would be significant off -site improvements the town would request if the rezoning were approved. Commission recommended a denial of the rezoning request by a unanimous (6-0) vote. ❑ DECEMBER 16, 1999 — TOWN COUNCIL ■ Z99-23 — Rezoning Public Hearing and Consideration -Request to rezone Plat 412B, Block 6, Lots 5 and 6 from "R1-43" to "C-1". Staff (Dana Burkhardt, Planner) stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission felt that there was already an over abundance of existing commercial property throughout the town. He added that developing this property as commercial would detract from the town center and other existing commercial development. Because of the petition that had been received prior to the Planning and Zoning Commission hearing, there would need to be a super -majority vote of the Council to approve the rezoning. Some Council members felt that this was a prime site for commercial businesses because of the high -traffic count. Other Council members expressed the thought that uses allowed in a "C-1" zoning district were better suited for the downtown area. They also said that they believed the area in question would eventually be rezoned and developed as commercial property, but that it was not the right time for it. Members of the public pointed out that the development by Mr. Rider on the north side of Shea Boulevard across from the area being discussed was not yet completed, but should be before the rezoning took place. Rider Shea Re/onc "00 .dcu P cc ti {,1 The motion to approve the rezoning failed by a vote of 2-5. ❑ JUNE 28, 2001— PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ■ Z2001-01— Rezoning Public Hearing and Consideration Request to rezone Plat 412B, Block 6, Lots 5 and 6 from "R1-43" to "C-1 PUD". The Commission unanimously voted to continue the public hearing until a later date. ❑ SEPTEMBER 27, 2001— PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Z2001-01 — Rezoning Public Hearing and Consideration -Request to rezone Plat 412B, Block 6, Lots 5 and 6 from "R143" to "C-1 PUD". Randy Harrel, when asked about traffic flows, responded by saying that he had 41 stipulations for approval on this project. He went on to say that a conduit and traffic signal would be needed due to the high accident probability. He stated that traffic and access are considered to be the major problems. The concerns expressed by the Commissioners were the same as had been previously expressed. Only one Commissioner stated that the project had promise. Commission recommended denial of the rezoning by a 5-1 vote. ❑ NOVEMBER 1, 2001— TOWN COUNCIL ■ Z2001-01— Rezoning Public Hearing and Consideration -A motion was made to table the item to give the applicant time to work out an agreement with the local property owners. The motion to table the consideration failed by a 3-4 vote. The issues discussed by the Council were the same as in previous rezoning cases for the same property. The motion to deny the rezoning request carried by a 4-2 vote. EVALUATION The proposed rezoning request is consistent with the commercial corridor that has developed along Shea Boulevard between Four Peaks Plaza and the Town boundary on the east. No special requests Rider Shea Rezoric 2001.doc Page 6 of 7 or development agreements are required to complete the project as proposed in the conceptual plan. The highway -oriented proposed uses will compliment the existing Comfort Inn and the proposed new motel on the vacant lot on the north side of Shea Boulevard. The rezoning will allow the property owner to reduce traffic on Firebrick Drive and therefore create a benefit for the remaining residential property owners. Many of the prior Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Council concerns related to timing of this development in relation to other commercial projects. Much of the prior concern about commercial development timing has been alleviated with Four Peaks Plaza development well underway, and the Town Center commercial project replat approval. Additionally, the highway oriented uses proposed for this site should not compete significantly with the Town Center commercial development and will supply development fees in the short term and enhance tax revenues in the long term. The Planning & Zoning Commission reviewed this request in Public Hearing.at their January 23, 2003 meeting. Public input was received from two property owners located near this project. Both property owners were opposed to the rezone and cited that the zoning of "C-1" would be more appropriate for the site. The Planning & Zoning Commissioners discussed the impact of this rezone on downtown development, adjacent residential issues, and the possibility of multi -family or lesser commercial zoning. The Planning & Zoning Commission voted to recommend denial of this application by a vote of three to two. RECOMMENDATION Based upon concerns of impact to the existing downtown development and adjacent residential uses the Planning & Zoning Commission recommends denial of the rezoning of Final Plat 412-B, Block 6, Lots 5 and 6 from R1-43, single family residential to C-2, Intermediate Commercial, case number Z2002-12. Based upon the ability of this development to add benefit to the surrounding commercial uses, and the positive economic impact. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning of Final Plat 412-B, Block 6, Lots 5 and 6 from R1-43, single family residential to C-2, Intermediate Commercial, case number Z2002-12 with the stipulation that the applicant work with Town staff to comply with the Town Engineer's requirements as outlined in his letter dated January 8, 2003 (attached). Rider Shea Rezone 2003.doc Pu<c 7 of n TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT INTER OFFICE MEMO TO: Jesse Drake, Community Development DT: January 8, 2003 FR: Randy Harrel, Town Engineer RE: "19000 Place" Commercial Center, Public Works Department Rezoning Submittal (Shea Blvd) Plat 412B, Block 5, Lots 5, 6 and 7 Case Z2002-12 — First Submittal We have reviewed the applicant's above plan submittal with regard to traffic and engineering issues. Our initial traffic & civil engineering comments and issues are as follows. Our comments are intended both to provide stipulations for the rezoning request, where appropriate, and to provide guidance for the applicant to prepare a potential future preliminary plat application. We have not received an updated traffic study to review for this submittal. This site may generate over 400% of the traffic that the CK Engineering traffic report projected for the previous project. Lot 7 was added to the site (compared to an 11-5-99 submittal), the former building area has increased 30% (30,050 sf then, to 35,440 sf in June 2001, to 39200 sf now), and Building A and D now have restaurant components (much more intense traffic flow). Therefore, the traffic engineering analysis report must be revised to reflect the current more intense site plan submittal. We have reviewed the plans with regard to our 10-22-98 and 6-13-01 memos. The following modified comments apply: ■ Provide a revised traffic study based on the more -intense, current building areas, usages, and Shea Blvd traffic. ■ Lengthen all turn pockets; exit stacking lengths, traffic signal analysis, etc., as necessary. ■ Obtain an abandonment of the "No Vehicular Access" restriction along Shea Blvd from A-k the Town Council. ■ Grant a 1 ' VNAE along the Firebrick Drive frontage. qA—� ■ Reimburse the Town or its cost along the Shea Blvd roe frontage or the third w�°� f g property ny f g f J'A `. i ` Y eastbound lane and bike lane, of $80, 000. tU P c} ■ Revise the east driveway location to align with the Crossroads Convenience Center driveway. Modify the median noses to fit that driveway location. (The median noses should end near the curb returns for the driveway probably 35' outside of the edges of the driveway aisle.) ■ If a traffic signal is warranted at the easterly driveway within 5-years after final acceptance of the project improvements, construct it. Provide a 5-year bond for it if not currently warranted. ■ Provide an emergency ingresslegress route and easement from Shea Blvd to Firebrick Drive through the site parking lot. Rider Rezoning 1-8-03.doc Page 1 of 4 Chron 002 • Construct a 3" traffic signal conduit across the proposed east driveway, and across Shea Blvd, with pull boxes at each median and conduit end. Construct a 2" traffic signal coordination conduit across the full Shea Blvd frontage, with #S pull boxes at 200' spacing. ■ Extend the Cereus Wash box culvert as required, and construct a light well in the culvert at the center median. (A FEMA LOMR may be required.) Show the Cereus Wash 100-year high water line. ■ Construct a 6' meandering concrete sidewalk in the Shea Blvd right-of-way from the SI Texaco Station parking lot to this projects east driveway, and into the site. (8' wide on the Cereus Wash box culvert.) Grade and bond for a possible future meandering sidewalk from the east driveway to the south property line. ■ Construct an 8' concrete bike/pedestrian way from the project site into the Cereus Wash, -,A, box culvert (this would allow pedestrians to cross under Shea Blvd). -� ■ Construct a 5' sidewalk along Firebrick Drive from the Mirage Resort Casitas into the project. Construct a 5' sidewalk from any Firebrick Drive intersection or site driveway intersection into the site. ■ Landscape and maintain the Shea Blvd and Firebrick Drive right-of-ways. Landscape the southeast property edge along the Indian Reseryation. Other areas labeled as undisturbed on the plan were severely burned in the 1993 fire and need to be revegetated or landscaped. ■ Provide scour protection and native landscaping for the east half of the adjoining Cereus Wash property (Town -owned). Verify that your site grading will not require steeper than 3:1 bank slopes along Cereus Wash, and will not infringe on the existing flow area. ■ Place 2 fire hydrants at 1,000' ±spacing along Shea _Blvd and one along Firebrick Drive,y in addition to any other hydrants needed for on -site fire protection. ■ Connect an 8" water line to the waterline at the Firebrick/Last Trail intersection if needed for fire flow or reliability. ■ The tapers for all the left turn and right turn pockets on Shea Blvd are too short and need to be extended. ■ Verify the length and need for the acceleration lane shown on Shea Blvd at the east driveway. ■ Verify the deceleration lane lengths. ■ Verify that the sight distances from the driveways along Shea Blvd are adequate, per the Town's Intersection Sight Triangle (18' behind curb to the center of the critical travel lane, for an 840' distance for a 50-mph design speed). Probable sight line issues include: ■ Frontage landscaping along the south side of Shea looking west, on the inside of this curved street. ■ Cereus Wash box culvert guardrail and concrete barrier. ■ Slight vertical curve crest looking west. s ■ Median landscaping looking east from the east driveway. ■ Because of the Shea Blvd superelevation and uphill driveway from the Crossroads Convenience Center, verify that traffic entering from these two opposite driveways can see each other. Widen the entrances/exits to 20' minimum half widths on each entrance%xit driveway per MCDOT roadway design manual. _ The east exit driveway should have at least two lanes, and be 28' wide (per a revised traffic analysis). Stacking length will need to be much longer for the east driveway (length per a Rider Rezoning 1-8-03.doe Page 2 of 4 Chron 002 revised traffic report). We estimate that at least 100' of stacking distance will be needed for the left turn lane (4 cars). Even if the NB-EB acceleration lane is not needed, that exceeds the 60' available to your aisle way as shown. Relocate the project sign shown (at the site end of the east driveway median) if it is a sightline obstruction. ■ The "undisturbed areas" shown on yourplan are unreasonable. Undisturbed areas shown should not include the Shea Blvd right-of-way (it's not on your property and it's already nearly h all been disturbed previously), the Cereus Wash bank (it will need to be substantially regraded and revegetated), the sloped bank along Firebrick Drive needing regrading (it was either previously graded or needs to be regraded with your project), and previously graded areas along previously utilized dirt roadways through your site. On the Slope Analysis Map, the Lot 5 development is incorrectly shown, and the undisturbed area will actually be much smaller. Revise. 1 ■ Provide screen walls or berms adjacent to residential property, if required by the Comm. \ `r Development Dept. ■ Show the existing bike lane on Shea Blvd. ■ Access to Shea Blvd would be an access upgrade to that currently allowed for this site. Include in the traffic report the build -out traffic both at this project and at the Crossroads Convenience Center when evaluating the need for a traffic signal at the east driveway. Use the 20-year future volume on Shea Blvd. Construct or bond for any necessary facilities. ■ Show the Cereus Wash banks and box culvert, and the distance to the Texaco driveway. ■ Probable needed storm drainage features include: ■ A long catch basin and pipe extension near Firebrick at the drainage channel on Laser Drive. ■ Substantial lengthening of the Cereus Wash box culvert for the west driveway's right turn deceleration lane, 8' sidewalk, and to slope the fill instead of the existing high retaining wall. ■ Bank protection along Cereus Wash, where needed. ■ A catch basin on Shea at the west driveway entrance, and on both sides of the driveway, draining to Cereus Wash. ■ A catch basin on Shea in the landscaped frontage area on the north side of the center driveway, connecting into the existing culvert under Shea. ■ A catch basin on Shea, in the parking lot, and in the landscaped frontage at the east end of the site, connecting into the existing culvert under Shea. ■ On -site catch basins and storm drains. ■ Is a catch basin needed on Laser Drive? We would like to see an access to this site from Firebrick Drive. The access needs to substantially discourage cut -through traffic from Shea to Firebrick Drive, if ungated. (It could be located near the southwest corner of the site.) Or, as a minimum, there should be a gated access with opticom (or Knox box?) fire truck access, and perhaps with employee pass card access. Since there is no cul-de-sac bulb at the end of Laser Drive, placing the above driveway near o the end of Laser Drive (with an opticom or Knox box 20'-30' off the street) will provide some V semblance of a hammerhead turn -around. Or, provide a hammerhead turnaround on Laser Drive. Rider Rezoning 1-8-03.doc Page 3 of 4 Chron 002 ■ With the number, size, and proximity of buildings shown, you may need to tap to the 12 " water main on the north side of Shea, and/or the water line along the south side of Shea at Texaco, even with the flow reduction credit for fire sprinklers. ■ Probable on -site storm water detention will be required, except for flow which drains directly from the site into Cereus Wash. ■ At the rear of Buildings A, B, and C, wouldn't it be preferable to park the cars adjacent to the building sidewalk, instead of across the aisle? ■ Provide a parking calculation. 0 ■ If the end of Laser Drive can be shortened for both your property (at the above hammerhead) and for Lot 20 of Block S, Plat 412-B across the street, remove, recurb, and landscape the right-of-way from the pavement end on Laser Drive to the south property line. ■ There is an existing waterline at your south boundary.

It was not required south of Shea, presumably because of the very large and deep single-family lots platted. Provide a verification from both the Fort McDowell and Salt River -Pima Indian Community that the setback of Building D is acceptable. (Both tribes own some land at your SE corner.) Alternatively, provide a 100' buffer strip (building setback or non -building easement) from your south property line.

I am the owner of the property located at 9048 E Firebrick (lot 18). As I mentioned in our conversation, I am diametrically opposed to any change in zoning for the above lots. My property is currently on the market and any change of the zoning other residential would ha':e a draraatic impact on the value on my property. Already, just having this zoning change request in process has had a negative impact on my marketing plan. Prospective buyers have mentioned the proposed changes and have said that this would prohibit them from even malting an offer until the matter is settled. If the zoning request is approved, then no offer would be forthcoming. You can see the direct impact that a change of zoning would have on me.

The reason for this petition is to assure that the Town Council will invoke the "super" vote rule as stated in House bill 2621 enacted in 1998, which sinply states that if 20% of the propery owners protest a zoning application, then it will require a 75% majority of council members voting to approve said zoning.

Rider Land & Development LLC., Managing member 15705 E. Richwood Avenue Fountain Hills, AZ 85268 October 25, 2002 TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS Nov 0 8 2002 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT PURPOSE OF REQUEST The purpose of this application is to seek approval of a request to rezone approximately 2.61 net acres of property on Shea Boulevard from R1-43 to C-2 to allow for the development of a small-scale, single level 20,600-sq. ft. highway commercial project. This zoning application follows up the general plan amendment rt„ approved by the Fountain Hills City Council in 1998 redesignating the property for commercial uses. PROPERTY HISTORY This 2.61 net acre site is located in . fir;:_.... f ` i' the southeast corner of Fountain Hills adjacent to the Salt River Pima — Maricopa Indian Community boundary on the south side of Shea Boulevard. As noted above, the property was the subject of a previous request to amend the general plan designation from "Single Family Very Low" (SF/VL) to "General Commercial/Retail" (C/R) in 1998. This general plan amendment was approved by the Town Council in 1998, but the rezoning request to C-1 was deemed premature at that time. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL The applicants are planning to build a small-scale highway commercial project on this property, which will be consistent in both quality and design with their previous existing project located across Shea Blvd. at 17100 E. Shea Blvd. This project will have approximately 20,600 square feet of leaseable building area for miscellaneous highway oriented retail, restaurant, which will serve the market generated by Shea Boulevard rather than Downtown functions. The current daily traffic count of 35,000 plus cars per day is composed primarily of commuters between Scottsdale and Mesa, and, on the weekends, of people traveling to the Payson, and Saguaro lake recreational areas. The contemplated uses are designed to take advantage of the eastbound commute and recreational traffic that already use Shea Blvd. The types of tenants targeted are those that will entice the commuter to stop briefly for convenience items. The synergy between the downtown commercial areas and the Shea Blvd. Commercial areas will provide the City of Fountain Hills with the best of both worlds. The steady increase in commuter traffic will continue along Shea Blvd. Regardless of anything taking place in Fountain Hills as both Mesa and Scottsdale expand. By capitalizing on this fact, Fountain Hills will gain both new businesses and sales tax revenue that can never be had at the downtown location. 1 DEVELOPMENT CRITERIA The project will comply with all of the City's development standards. The approximately 35'- 45' of excess Shea Boulevard right-of-way will remain in its native desert condition (with perhaps some additional plantings of native vegetation). Site development complies with all aspects of the City's Hillside Ordinance. In fact, the plan embraces the goals and objectives of this ordinance. Each parcel is separately designed to meet the City's Hillside Ordinance without the use of density transfers. The wash and other significant areas are being left in their natural condition. Building setbacks range from 25' to 60' from the property line along Shea and 35' to 55' from Firebrick Drive. All buildings will be one-story tall with a maximum height up to 25' essentially to provide for architectural enhancements. In addition to the rezoning itself, this case also includes a request that the 1 ft. vehicular non -access easement (V.N.A.E.) along Shea Boulevard be exchanged for a 1 ft. V.N.A.E. along Firebrick Drive. The site plan calls for access to the property to be restricted to Shea Blvd. in order to protect the neighborhood to the south and their local street Firebrick Drive. The existing access to Firebrick Drive would be deleted and prohibited in the future through the 1 ft. V.N.A.E. The row of trees proposed to be planted in the right of way, to be maintained by the applicant, will further prohibit vehicle traffic, noise, and onsite views for the residents south of the subject property. Development of the property will benefit the adjacent residential properties to the South by creating a physical and visual barrier, which will shield the lower elevation residential properties from the Shea Boulevard corridor. The buildings and landscaping will also form an acoustic barrier, effectively lowering the traffic noise that is currently penetrating the neighborhood. The proposed planting of large box trees along Firebrick Drive is specifically designed to screen the project and Shea Blvd. itself from the four nearby houses. In the photo to the right, taken from the neighbor's property, you can see that only the western corner of the site is currently visible from this residence. In so doing, this landscaping buffer will also screen out the view to the fast food restaurants on the North side of Shea Blvd. for at least two of the existing homes. The proposed development plan will also screen out the view of the fast food restaurants for the residents in the condominium project south of the gas station and west of the subject site. The elevation of the other two homes is approximately 100 feet above the site which means that it is not possible to actually screen the uses from these houses, but the proposed landscaped barrier will at least provide an aesthetically pleasing transition. Finally, by grading the lots as shown on the preliminary grading plan, landscaping the right of way and landscaping the setback along Firebrick Drive (the highest possible E point) as noted above, this development will functionally separate the neighborhood from the Shea Blvd. corridor. The applicant has met with The Firerock Homeowners Association President, the adjacent neighbors to the South, and the board of directors of Firerock Resort Casitas HOA to discuss this new proposal and, as of this date, there has been no stated opposition, in fact the neighbors to the South have stated general support for the project, see attached letters. RELATIONSHIP TO SURROUNDING PROPERTIES AND DOWNTOWN The property to the east across Shea Boulevard is zoned C-2 and is developed as the Crossroads Convenience Center (Wendy's, Arby's and Taco Bell), and auto service building. The property to the north across the Cereus Wash (zoned R-5), is developed with a Texaco gas station and full service car wash zoned C-2. Indeed, all of the similarly situated property on Shea Blvd. has already been zoned to commercial use, except for the three lots making up the subject property. The property to the west is part of the Firerock subdivision and is zoned R1-43. The Firerock Resort Condominiums are zoned R-5. The property to the south is the Salt River -Pima Indian Reservation. Since the deferral of the C-1 rezoning request in 1998, a number of private actions have been taken to spur development of commercial property in the Downtown as well as in the vicinity of this request on Shea Boulevard. More than 15 commercial building projects have recently been constructed in the Downtown area (see the attached aerial map of Fountain Hills commercial districts), the Target Center just north and west of the site is open for business and the Fort McDowell Indians are now planning more commercial development, reportedly anchored by a Wa1Mart Superstore near their casino on the Beeline Highway. This addition of commercial space to the Town of Fountain Hills will enhance the Town's revenue from sales tax and rental taxes. This proposed project would have virtually no impact on Downtown commercial activity. Since there is no major traffic arterial through the Downtown area, the Downtown has been designed and developed to suit two specific needs that are not related to highway commercial: Neighborhood commercial and destination oriented tourist activity. Neither of these downtown uses or functions will be impacted or compromised by this minor 2.61 91 acres of highway commercial development with only 20,600 sq. ft. of space. The only tenants that will be attracted to the subject property are those that depend upon high visibility from highway traffic. The General Plan, revised in 2002, reconfirmed this area to be designated as "General Commercial / Retail" (C/R) and recognizes the appropriateness of these uses on the subject property. Therefore, given this property's location at the City's limits, the plans of the Fort McDowell Tribe to attempt to capture more sales tax revenue from Fountain Hills and area residents to the Reservation and the existence of other small scale commercial uses directly across and adjacent to the subject property on Shea Blvd., it appears that this is now the appropriate time to proceed with a well designed highway commercial project at this location. LOCATION AND ACCESSIBILITY / CIRCULATION SYSTEM The subject property will be accessible solely from two new driveways to be built on Shea Boulevard. The center driveway will have a new right turn deceleration lane within the existing Shea Boulevard right-of-way. No access would be allowed to or from Firebrick Drive, which would otherwise be required for residential use. In fact, the applicants propose a 1 ft. V.N.A.E. to preclude this access from ever being created. The topography of the subject property is such that it is well below the level of Firebrick Drive and only slightly elevated above Shea Boulevard. The project design and new access will effectively cut off the property from the neighborhood and orient it towards Shea Blvd. A slope analysis is attached to this application. Traffic has increased dramatically in the last few years, and is now approximating 35,000 commercial vehicles and automobiles per day — up from the 12,000 cars per day in 1993. It would appear that this has become a primary commute corridor, and the outlook is for ever- increasing traffic volume. Any home on _ this property would be downhill of 4 Firebrick Road with the primary views from inside the home being to the east through a �r backyard at a 6' high sound attenuation block wall or over the wall to Shea Boulevard and the commercial uses located there. The property is simply not elevated high enough to overcome the noise, vehicle emissions, and compromised views along Shea Blvd. The only situations in Fountain Hills where homes have been built along Shea Blvd., have been those where the homes were set back a significant distance and elevated above the Shea Blvd. right of way by as much as 100 feet or more. TRAFFIC IMPACT A traffic study for this project was prepared by CK Engineering, Inc. The study demonstrates that this project will not adversely affect traffic operations on Shea Boulevard. The study (originally prepared in 1998 and updated in late 1999) indicates that the current traffic flow on Shea Blvd. is comprised primarily of commuters and recreational traffic passing through the area. The primary patrons for this retail/office project would be those already using Shea Blvd. The study also indicates that tfie proposed development would reduce traffic within the Firerock housing development. DEVELOPMENT SCHEDULE Upon rezoning approval, the owner anticipates a minimum of twelve months to complete working drawings and leasing, and six months for building permits to be processed before construction could start on the first 10,000 SF. phase. Eventual completion of the total project would depend upon absorption, but it is estimated at approximately three to five years from the start of construction. PROPERTY DESIGN SPECIFICS BUILDING HEIGHT - 25' Maximum SETBACKS - 40' min from Shea Blvd. and 40' min from Firebrick Drive. These setbacks are consistent with the original R1-43 zoning COLOR PALLETT - Per the attached plans — To be approved by Architectural review committee SITE LIGHTING — No pole lighting on site. Waist high bollards where required PROPOSED USES — C-2 COVERAGE — Less than 20 % (1/3 of normal allowed C-2) DISTURBANCE AREAS — Consistent with original R1-43 zoning PERIMETER LANDSCAPE ELEMENT - Box tree planting along Firebrick Dr. PARKING AND ACCESS — Lots 5,6,&7 would have reciprocal agreements for access, egress, and parking COMMUNITY FACILITIES AND SERVICES Not Applicable 5 PUBLIC UTILITIES AND SERVICES Water and sewage services are available to the property with sufficient capacity to accommodate the proposed project. Electrical service will be provided by APS. FINANCIAL BENEFITS TO THE TOWN The Town of Fountain Hills will benefit financially from this development through the following sources of income: 1. Application fees for rezoning 2. Building permit and inspection fees 3. Rental taxes 4. Sales taxes POTENTIAL TENANTS While we do not have specific tenants lined up at this time, from our experience, we anticipate at a minimum, significant interest from the following categories of potential tenant. • Coffee shops • Marine parts retail store • Dry cleaners • Restaurants • Automotive parts retail • Convenience stores • Delicatessen • Florists • Barbershops • Real estate office • Bank • Veterinary • Pharmacy While this list is in no way complete, it is offered as an example of highway oriented businesses that can be attracted to this type of site. Our previous development at 17100 E. Shea Blvd. attracted 18 tenants, 16 of which were businesses new to Fountain Hills at that time. We would expect the same type of response on this site.

In addition, the Team felt that with the development of South Plat 208 it was imperative that a plan of work be designed to allow a flexibilty in determining the shape and appearance of the Town Center area. After researching current studies, plans of work, and meeting with members of the community and Downtown Concensus Team staff compiled information to format the attached RFP. The RFP is written to request the development of three (3) concept plans for the "Avenue of the Fountains" between LaMontana and Saguaro Boulevard. The concept plans should address various issues including, but not limited to, pedestrian and traffic circulation, lighting, streetscape, public restrooms, and event location. Staff suggests that this RFP be sent out by March 1, 2003 with a response deadline of April 1, 2003. If these dates are approved the proposed Concept Plan, including improvement phasing and cost, could be presented to Town Council for approval in early July 2003. Staff is expecting that the RFP bids will come in around $20,000. this cost would be taken from Downtown Development Funds (a portion of the local sales tax/excise tax). In addition to the cost of the RFP staff has presented a budget of $225,000 for the first phase of improvements. This amount is approximately 50% of the current balance in the Downtown Development Fund. List All Attachments as Follows: Request for Proposal.

Staff Recommendation: Approve Fiscal Impact: Yes $ Purpose of Item and Background Information: Staff has recommended that the Town hire a consultant to assist in providing property tax educational material to residents of Fountain Hills.

Proposals from two firms are currently being prepared so we do not have a recommended firm at this time. The estimated cost for this project is between 5,000 and $8,333 per month for the next three months. PROCESS To date the staff contacted the Arizona League of Cities and Towns for recommended firms. We received two firms' names i.e. CKPR and BJC communication. The Town of Fountain Hills during the mountain issue had previously hired Bliss Marketing, so they were contacted as well. References, principal contacts, writing samples and company material were received from each firm. Councilmembers Ralphe and Melendez along with myself, completed teleconference interviews with each firm. Following the interviews, CKPR indicated that one of their current clients contacted them with two large assignments and thus they would not be able to submit a proposal. The other two firms are preparing proposals. PROS & CONS PROS; Residents will be better informed when making a decision that will effect the finances of their community. Clarifying the issue to residents that may be confused by the many options available for fire and EMS funding, critical public safety issues. Having a consultant with the expertise in providing community education and the time available to complete thorough job. It is the responsibility of government to inform their residents as to what the impact of a certain vote will be. CONS: A prohibition by state law that no expenditures by a Town may be used to influence the outcome of an election, thus the Town will have to spend additional funds on Legal review by the Town Attorney of all material to ensure full compliance with the law. Using contingency funds during tough financial times. ACTION NEEDED: Approve the proposal submitted by the recommended firm. SUMMARY The Staff and Town Attorney will review the proposals and the funding for this expenditure will come from undesignated contingency with a remaining fund balance of roughly $45,000. The Council will receive additional information next week including a recommended firm and proposal assuming all reference checks are complete and proposals are finalized. If all work were not complete before the Council meeting, the item would have to be removed from the agenda.

Fountain Hills, like many other Arizona communities, has seen its share of lean years, but we've finally begun to see the light at the end of the tunnel. And many of our hopes and dreams are becoming a reality. We've got much to be thankful for this holiday season. We've made tremendous progress on some major projects that make Fountain Hills feel like a "bona fide" town! I'm thrilled that the new Target Center will be moving forward. Target will be a welcome addition to our community and I'm confident that they wilf be the kind of new corporate neighbor that Fountain Hills will be proud to have in our Town. Within the next four to six months, our new library, museum and community center will be open and available for everyone to enjoy. And within the next few months, our famous fountain will be up and running again with a brand new lake liner for many more generations of Fountain Hills residents to admire and enjoy. Downtown Fountain Hills is starting to take shape, and our community has welcomed some beautiful new housing developments this year. It's always so nice to greet new neighbors and see them get involved in our community. The one thing that will top my wish list for the New Year is the preservation of our McDowell Mountains. Though I would have liked to end the year 2000 with some closure on the mountain issue, I'm confident that the New Year will bring an agreeable solution for everyone. This is such an exciting time for all of us here in Fountain Hills. We've worked so hard as a community to build a Town that we're proud of and love to come home to, and it's a thrill to see so many years of effort finally becoming realities. The thing I'm most thankful for is our ability to pull together and work together to achieve our dreams. That feeling of community and a shared vision has made our progress this year possible. Each and every one of us cares about our hometown and we should all be so proud of all that we've accomplished. I look forward to serving as your Mayor next year and helping even more wonderful things happen for Fountain Hills. The Town Council and I wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season. See you next year! Your mountains, your vision. Itaw Common Ground and Common Sense for Fountain Hills and MCO October 18, a000 Our community has heard a lot about "rights" regarding the McDowell Mountains recently from MCO. We've heard about their rights as private property owners -- rights that we respect and agree with. Unfortunately, we've heard them accuse us, the Town Council, over and over again of violating those rights. Their most recent charge, seen in last week's paper, accuses the Town Council of violating their rights with inflexible ordinances applied arbitrarily to MCO Custom Properties. That's just not true. Are there ordinances in Fountain Hills? Absolutely. Are they applied arbitrarily to one property owner over another? Absolutely not. Building ordinances are designed to ensure the health, welfare and safety of the residents of our community, and are applied equally to each and every property owner in Fountain Hills. In addition to safety, the ordinances are also designed to ensure that if someone buys a piece of property in Fountain Hills with the hope of building a home, that the property they've purchased can reasonably support the home they'd like to build. That's not arbitrary. It's common sense. If you buy a piece of land with the intent of building a home on it, you ought to be reasonably assured that you can do that. MCO Properties has yet to demonstrate that the plats they've submitted for can safely build the number of homes they loudly say then can. Just because they say `eve comply, we comply" as loudly as they do does not mean that they have in fact complied with all of the Town's ordinances. What about the rights of the residents of Fountain Hills to live in safe homes? What about the rights of new property owners to purchase a piece of property that they can reasonably build a home on? MCO has appealed to us time and time again to respect their private property rights, which we fully intend to do as we work our way toward an agreement on the preservation of the McDowell Mountains. We would ask in return that MCO afford an equal measure of respect for the ordinances in Fountain Hills designed to make our community a better, safer place to live. Is it unreasonable to apply ordinances to ensure the health, safety, welfare and buildability of our community? We don't think so. We're sorry MCO disagrees. Preservation Vs. Profits? Common Ground and Common Sense for Fountain Hills and MCO September 15, 2000 As many of you know, the Town of Fountain Hills has been engaged in sometimes heated negotiations with MCO Properties for the last several months regarding the preservation of the McDowell Mountains. The residents of the Town of Fountain Hills have sent a very clear message — preserve the McDowell Mountains. As town officials and elected leaders of your community, it is our responsibility to listen to that message and work toward achieving that goal. We take that responsibility very seriously. As elected leaders and town officials, we also recognize a very important dual responsibility — to act as responsible stewards of the land the community seeks to preserve; and to act as responsible financial stewards with the valuable public resources dedicated to achieving mountain preservation. I have heard from many of you on this issue. You have told me of the striking natural beauty that drew you to our community. You've told me how much you enjoy sipping your morning cup of coffee surrounded by unspoiled mountain views. And you've also told me how proud you are to live in a community that recognizes the value of its natural resources and wants to preserve these precious treasures. We understand that MCO has a financial stake in developing the McDowell Mountains. We believe that what is at stake is bigger than profit. We believe that we must cast an eye toward the future of our community. We must work to build a community that can be proud of its efforts in years to come, proud of the beautiful mountains we worked hard to preserve. We strive to leave a legacy of preservation, not just profit. While the Town seeks a fair and equitable resolution to this matter, we must not lose sight of our responsibilities as financial stewards and we must not lose sight of the trust placed in us by the taxpayers of this community to achieve our preservation goals at a reasonable cost. As we move forward in our efforts to preserve the McDowell Mountains, we appeal to MCO as good corporate citizens and as citizens of our community to work with us to build a legacy of preservation of which we can all be proud. Join with us and recognize not just the financial value of our mountains, but the priceless value they add to our community's quality of life. We'd like to hear your opinion on this issue. Call your elected Town Council Member, or call me at the Mayor's office. Or even better, let MCO know what you think. MCO phone 480.

OUR METHODOLOGY IN WORKING WITH OUR CLIENTS Bliss Marketing/Multimedia's approach to Fountain Hills public relations and marketing would be similar in how we work with all our clients — it is a four -step development process: A. Defining the Opportunity The first steps in any program are goal setting and research. Once we understand your goals completely and have data to help us understand existing organization behavior and opinions, we can begin to develop a strategy to change, influence or support new or existing ideas. This strategy is then developed into key messages that become campaign themes, advertising copy, headlines, and news stories very quickly. We work with our client to determine exactly what we want to accomplish, how we measure success, and what tasks to undertake. We interview and conduct research with staff, committees, "customers," and information gatekeepers (the media). Research programs can be extensive and scientific, as well as subjective and anecdotal. It takes time to gather knowledge, opinions, attitudes, and behaviors of target audiences to determine the vision and strategies for retaining and expanding these revenue - generating groups. Research from surveys and report opinions provide the foundation for communications planning and action by asking: "Where are we now?" B. Planning and Programming Research results are presented to Fountain Hills staff. Then Bliss consultants and Fountain Hills staff work together with the results to create the strategies, objectives, and tactics to reach the overall Fountain Hills marketing and promotional plan. This second step in the approach asks: "Based on what we know about the situation, what should we do, say, or change?" C. Taking Action and Communicating The third step is launching a program of action and communication designed to achieve specific objectives. D. Evaluating the Program Fountain Hills The final step is objective assessment based on measurable results. Naturally, there are ongoing evaluations and adjustments made during the programs. However, at program milestones a more formal evaluation is made. We ask ourselves: "Did we achieve what we set out to do? What are the quantitative and qualitative results? Is the client satisfied?" Steps are also taken to assure that the established structure of the campaign will provide continued success. DEMONSTRATION OF OUR EXPERIENCE AND RELIABILITY We're Experienced in Working with Academic, Educational, and Cultural Arts Organizations.

Creating Integrated Marketing Campaigns that Position and Build Brands and Messages • MAG Valley Vision 2025 Over the past 18 years, Bliss Marketing/Multimedia and its staff have developed hundreds of results -oriented marketing campaigns. This past year, Bliss Marketing/Multimedia created an integrated marketing campaign for the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) to support their Valley Vision 2025 efforts. The Valley Vision 2025 campaign was designed to allow the public a forum to determine what the future of Maricopa County would be like and how to prepare for it. The objectives for the campaign were: to create awareness in order to get a good response rate; allow for an open forum where people felt comfortable; and keep the subject fresh in the public's mind, even though the project is to be in effect in the year 2000. While the campaign is still ongoing, the initial kick-off event had in attendance more than 1,000 elected officials, city staff and citizens. All major print media and key electronic media covered the event. Tools that Bliss created for the MAG's campaign consisted of a CD-ROM, a series of advertisements and a mailer. Another recent success includes AmSafe, Inc. AmSafe designed the world's first aircraft seatbelt airbag. In order to market their product, we developed a campaign that established AmSafe as a highly visible world leader in airline seat belts extending its lead to new technology.

We are recommending that the Town Council approve the attached Bliss Marketing/Multimedia proposal at a cost of $7,300 to $8,300 per month. Reasoning: The Bliss Marketing/Multimedia proposal was more comprehensive, providing public forums, news articles, video, an 11-1/2 x 17" letter, and a web page. Additionally, Bliss Marketing had previously worked for the Town during the "mountain" issue and provided excellent service. Bliss is a smaller firm with six employees, versus BJC's firm of eleven employees, yet we feel comfortable their assistance will be very good.

The Town Attorney has completed his legal review of the proposal. cc: Andrew McGuire, Town Attorney Pickering/E:/Stein/Pickering/prfirmrecommendation.doc/21903 BRss MARKETING/MULTIMEDIA Summary and Agreement Marketing Communications Services Provided by Bliss Marketing/Multimedia For The Town of Fountain Hills February 14, 2003 The Town of Fountain Hills Proposition 400—Educating citizens regarding the question of the source of the Town's Fire and Emergency Medical Services funding.
