DISTRICT MAP FOR APPROXIMATELY 5.74 ACRES GENERALLY LOCATED AT
THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF SAGUARO BOULEVARD AND TREVINO DRIVE
FROM HEMINGWAY PAD TO FOUNTAIN HILLS SENIOR LIVING PAD (CASE#
Z2017-14)
Chairman Dabrowski opened the public hearing at 6:06 p.m.
Marissa Moore, Senior Planner,presented a staff report and a PowerPoint presentation, (Copy is on file in
the Development Services Department) on the details of an application submitted by CA Ventures for
Fountain Hills Senior Living at 9700 N. Saguaro Blvd. Ms.Moore gave a brief history of the project.The
project was presented at the January 25, 2018 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting and was then
Page 1 of 12
forwarded for public hearing at the February 20, 2018 Town Council with a recommendation to approve
the PAD with the stipulations as listed in the staff report. The applicant made changes to their proposal to
meet the recommended stipulations prior to presenting to the Town Council. Town Council expressed
concerns about the project and architectural designs and voted to continue the item until the applicant met
with Town Citizens to bring forward a new proposal that had public input. Staff determined that the
changes made to the proposal are substantial enough to return to the Planning and Zoning Commission
for another review. Ms. Moore went on to explain the proposed changes made to the Senior Living PAD
as summarized in the staff report. Ms. Moore said although the proposal meets some of the General
Plan's goals and objectives it is generally inconsistent with the General Plan. With the exception of the
nine waivers requested by the applicant, the proposal is consistent with C-1 Zoning District regulations,
the Zoning Ordinance and the Subdivision Ordinance. Ms. Moore emphasized that traditionally multi-
family uses may be used as a buffer between commercial and single-family uses and this project could
serve as such a buffer. In conclusion, Ms. Moore said Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning
Commission forward a recommendation to the Town Council to approve Ordinance 18-03 amending the
Town of Fountain Hills Official Zoning District map for approximately 5.74 acres located at Saguaro
Blvd and Trevino Drive from Hemingway PAD to Fountain Hills Senior Living PAD as presented,
excluding waiver#8, any screen/fence wall(s) installed along the north property line may be no taller than
six feet in height and must be constructed at the property line for those neighbors who wish to have it
installed.
Chairman Dabrowski asked for the applicant's presentation.
Nick Wood of The Law Firm of Snell & Wilmer said he joined the project after the Town Council voted
to continue the proposed project allowing the applicant to bring forward a new proposal with changes
addressing their concerns. Mr. Wood said meetings were held with property owners and residents located
near the proposed Fountain Hills Senior Living location. CA Ventures took into account the concerns
® expressed at the public meeting and implemented changes into the new proposal. At the request of the
neighbors, the building height was reduced from three stories to two stories and one story. The one story
portion makes up fifty percent of the entire building. The unit count was reduced from one hundred fifty-
seven units to one hundred thirty units. The reduction in units was achieved by taking away the
independent living component. At the public meeting different architectural designs were proposed. The
architecture and details chosen are a direct result of feedback from the public meeting. The landscaping
has been enhanced by adding more mature landscaping and using native species. The deliveries are
allowed only during the day and the receiving areas are located away from the residential properties. Mr.
Wood said there were five different meetings held with the public to receive feedback about the project.
Mr.Wood provided a handout with more stipulations as a result of the meeting. They are:
1. All Deliveries, except for those related to resident move in/move out activity, to the project shall be
limited to the loading area located on the south side of the building, with access to the site being limited
to Trevino Drive, as shown on Exhibit X, Vendor contracts should include a provision to enforce this
requirement.
2. All service activity, including trash collection, for the project shall be limited to the loading area
located on the south side of the building, with access to the site being limited to Trevino Drive, as shown
on the Exhibit X. Service contracts should include a provision to enforce this requirement.
3. Construction traffic shall be limited to Trevino Drive as shown on the Exhibit X. The use of Monterrey
Drive and Burkemo Drive for construction traffic is prohibited. All construction contracts should include
a provision to enforce this requirement.
4. Upon completion of site grading and the construction of some of the parking spaces and associated
drive isles, construction parking shall be provided on-site.
Page 2 of 12
5. The access drive located at the northwest corner of the site that provides access onto Berkemo Drive
shall be limited to emergency vehicles only and shall be gated. The gate shall be closed at all times.
Mr. Wood said if the Commission is inclined to recommend approval to the Council nothing would
change from this evening's presentation unless it was the Commission's or Staff's request.
Chairman Dabrowski asked for speaker cards and Recorder Paula Woodward answered there are sixteen
speaker cards.Nine cards submitted would like to speak. Seven cards submitted who do not want to speak
but would like to indicate their position for or against the project. Five non speakers indicated they were
for the project; Eric Maceyko, Shawn Byron, Eric Winters, Michael Sullivan, and Christopher Russ.
Two non-speakers indicated they were against the project; Wendy Muller and Michelle Krook.
Larry Meyers, a Fountain Hills resident, addressed the Commission referencing a handout and visual aid
he provided and stated that he is against the project.
Tom Lindsey,a Fountain Hills resident, spoke on behalf of resident David Williams, said;
"If I were a council member, how would I vote on the Senior Living PAD? Lacking a very complete
knowledge of the project I might think:
1. Commercial developments in that area needs help and this development will add customers.
A. According to the developer, assisted living and memory clients seldom leave the facility. They no
longer plan for any independent living units. And the staff will likely not live in Fountain Hills. So, very
few new customers.
2.The town government needs the development fee.
A. Potential law suits for diminished home values resulting from zoning changes may diminish the value
of the development fee.
3. The town needs to encourage development and a vote against would discourage future developers.
A. The neighbors did not fight the Hemingway PAD because it did not deviate far from the principles of
C-1 zoning. This project is more like C-2 zoning.
4. The current market for this product is soft and if it does not improve the PAD can always covert to
apartments.
A.As an apartment project there is woefully little parking and little room to add more.
5. The developer has clearly made an effort to make it more acceptable.
A. Even though it may be more acceptable, it is still far beyond C-1 zoning."
Joanne Meehan,a Fountain Hills resident, spoke out against the project.
Jane Bell,a Fountain Hills resident, spoke out against the project.
Peter Gray, a Fountain Hills resident, spoke out against the project.
Glenn Mills,a Fountain Hills resident, spoke out against the project.
Brain Zub, a Fountain Hills resident, spoke out against the project.
Mary Lou Robinson, a Fountain Hills resident, spoke out against the project.
Mary Lou Ruiz, a Fountain Hills resident, spoke out against the project. She said the Town needs to be
self-sustaining. She does not see a need for another Senior Living Facility since there are already two
existing at questionable occupancy. From her marketing background "I have learned that a perception
can never change if this is who we say we are; we want to attract businesses, young families, young
professionals, and the main entrance to Town is another senior living facility. We can't keep doing the
same thing over and over and expect different results. Please take this into consideration when making
your decision."

Chairman Dabrowski closed the public hearing at 7:13 p.m.
AGENDA ITEM # 4 — CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE 18-03 AMENDING THE
TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS OFFICIAL ZONING DISTRICT MAP FOR
APPROXIMATELY 5.74 ACRES GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST
CORNER OF SAGUARO BOULEVARD AND TREVINO DRIVE FROM HEMINGWAY
PAD TO FOUNTAIN HILLS SENIOR LIVING PAD. (CASE# Z2017-14)
Commissioner Schlossberg asked to see the sign package.
Chris Russ, CA Ventures, displayed the sign and confirmed the location is at the corner of Trevino and
Saguaro Blvd.
Ms. Moore said the sign details are in the agenda packet.
Commissioner Boik asked the applicant how many visitors per day are expected at this facility and details
about the lighting.
Chris Russ replied,typically, four to five visitors a day during the week and ten visitors on weekend days.
There are twenty-three parking light poles throughout the parking area and they are in compliance with
the dark sky ordinance.
Vice-Chairman Dempster asked if a traffic study was conducted.
4111, Ms. Moore said there was a traffic study conducted and the executive summary of the study is included in
the agenda packet. The applicant's traffic engineer and the town engineer are present to answer any
questions.
Vice-Chairman Dempster asked if it was possible for a one way road into the facility, using an extension
of Bukemo Drive to Shea Blvd.
Randy Harrel, Town Engineer, said this would be a major project because of the grade constraints, the
topography and utilities on Trevino.
Vice-Chairman Dempster asked the applicant if considerations were made for other locations in Fountain
Hills and what is the timeframe from start to completion of the project.
Chris Russ said there were other Fountain Hills locations considered but decided this was the best
location. The projected timeframe is six to seven months including the next few meetings, in design and
permitting and sixteen months total construction till completion.
Commissioner Hansen asked although it is called senior living, is the facility available to people who are
not seniors? Are the assisted living residents allowed to leave the property unassisted?
Chris Russ replied that there is an age component because there is a licensing component with the
Department of Health. The bottom floor minimum age is fifty-five or sixty years old. The assisted living
residents are allowed to leave the property but do so escorted by staff or family members. They have
freedom throughout the building. The memory care portion is locked down all the time.
Commissioner Hansen referenced the executive summary of the traffic study and asked the Town
Engineer if there are existing intersections that are operating at a level service of D already?
Page 4 of 12
Mr. Harrel said there are intersections operating at a level service D in Town,but not in this area.
The Trevino intersection, because of the left turn lane, is at a level of service D, the right turns improved
from level of service C to B.The threshold to implement mitigation is level D.
Commissioner Crumbie asked if the sixty-six parking spaces included employees, visitors, and vendors,
or is there a perceived risk of on street parking in the neighborhood.
Mr. Wood stated the Town requires thirty-six spaces based on the employees and square footage. The
sixty-six spaces are almost double what is required. The sixty-six spaces guarantee adequate parking so
there is no parking elsewhere especially on Trevino.
Commissioner Jones asked the applicant what was the rationale for choosing Fountain Hills for this
project and location and what are the projections.
The applicant replied that the project site was selected for the views, location and demographics. Future
and projected demographics for the area are taken into consideration when planning this type of project.
These types of facilities are built in reserve with the idea they will be filled up in two years time or
sooner. Looking at the census projections along with the current and future amount of the population at
seventy years old in the area is a very compelling demographic.
Commissioner Jones asked about the resident transportation.
The applicant replied the facility offers a shuttle service for the residents.
Mr. Wood stated that this project is the least traffic generation of all the permitted uses at this location.
Although the General Plan calls for this to be retail this is a down zoning with a nominal amount of
traffic.
Commissioner Jones expressed concerns and comments regarding the architectural design. He suggested
it be less institutionalized and more true to the Spanish Mission style. He suggested more arched
windows rather than recta-linear windows as well as architectural detail such as iron work and tiling.
Roof line variation provides opportunity to accentuate those areas. The sign could use some work to tie in
with the building. Mr. Jones asked if the applicant would work with staff to soften the overall look. The
ten-foot screen that projects toward Saguaro Blvd. request is also a concern and suggested an eight foot
wall with more landscaping.Mr.Jones thanked the applicant for improving the landscaping.
Mr. Russ addressed the ten-foot wall waiver request by explaining the majority of the wall is eight feet
but the center of the wall technically is ten feet because of the low area(dip)where it is measured.
Mr. Wood said the wall waiver request is a result of the neighbor requests. The property owners that are
adjacent to the site are not present at the meeting.
Mr.Russ said the facility would employ eighty full-time employees and forty percent would be salaried at
fifty thousand dollars or more.
Vice-Chairman Dempster asked what other types of business would be allowed to be built in that area.
Ms. Moore replied by referring to the Zoning Ordinance Chapter 12, Commercial Uses, Professional
Office Uses, Public and Quasi-Public Uses. Ms. Moore said the list is not all inclusive but those are the
general ideas.

Commissioner Jones asked what is the grading impact for the Hemmingway site plan compared to this
project and did the applicant request any more than what was approved for the Hemmingway.
Ms. Moore said the Hemmingway did request a cut fill waiver which does apply to this property
regardless of what is there. The hillside protection has gone away and there is an allowance for more cut
which is 10 feet of exposed and 24 feet total. The current application does not require any more than
what Hemmingway requested.
Chairman Dabrowski thanked the applicant for lowering the height of the building
In response to Chairman Dabrowski's questions Mr. Russ said the shuttle van will be parked on site and
there are no parking spaces marked or allocated for "Doctor Only" parking. The reduction in staff is
ninety-five full-time employees to eighty-five full-time employees.
Chairman Dabrowski commented that the landscaping in the rendering show beautiful and mature trees.
Mr. Russ replied a number of the trees depicted in the rendering will be close to that size especially since
a reduction in landscaping was requested. The trees to the north, which are a buffer between the facility
and residential,will be twelve to fourteen feet in height.
Chairman Dabrowski asked about the sign measurement difference from the finish grade and the curve of
the public road.
Mr. Russ said he did not know the measurement but would have it for the upcoming Council meeting.
Chairman Dabrowski asked Ms.Moore why the wall height is six foot instead of eight or ten foot?
Ms. Moore said typically if a commercial use butts against a residential the requirement is an eight-foot
wall. This is considered a residential use abutting residential so an eight-foot wall is not required and
defaults to the maximum allowed of six feet. If it was requested to go higher than six feet, it would be
detailed in the PAD. Ten feet is not allowed in town unless there are extreme circumstances.
Chairman Dabrowski stated she is concerned about the potential traffic jammed up at both Trevino entry
points because of the fire station construction and the senior living construction. She asked if the offsite
drainage would compromise any of the Saguaro improvements or surrounding area.
Mr. Harrel said that the applicant is using Saguaro Blvd for the construction traffic. The drainage will
move through the site and be held to be metered out slowly.
Chairman Dabrowski MOVED to forward a recommendation to Town Council to approve Ordinance
18-03 amending the Town of Fountain Hills Official Zoning District Map for approximately 5.74 acres
generally located at the northwest corner of Saguaro Boulevard and Trevino Drive from Hemmingway
PAD to Fountain Hills Senior Living PAD as presented with the exception of Waiver#8,which should be

AGENDA ITEM # 5 - RECONSIDERATION OF A PROPOSED SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO
ALLOW VERIZON WIRELESS TO INSTALL THREE CELLULAR ANTENNAS WITH
ASSOCIATED ROOF-MOUNTED EQUIPMENT TO BE LOCATED WITHIN 300 FEET OF A
RESIDENTIALLY ZONED AND PLATTED PROPERTY AND ONE OF THESE ANTENNA,
LOCATED ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE ROOF TO BE 2-FEET 4-INCHES
ABOVE THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED HEIGHT OF 54 FEET AT 16845 E AVENUE OF THE
FOUNTAINS. (CASE# SU2018-01)
Ms. Moore presented a staff report and a PowerPoint presentation (Copy on file in the Development
Services Department) on the details of an application submitted by Darren Snodgrass for Verizon
Wireless for a Special Use Permit to allow three wireless facilities at 16845 East Avenue of the Fountains,
Building D. Two of the three facilities are under the maximum height allowed and one exceeds the
maximum height by three feet eleven inches. All facilities are within a residentially zoned district, which
along with the height trigger the need for a Special Use Permit. The facilities would provide coverage in
the Town Center. It has been reported by the applicant as well as residents there is a cellular coverage
issue in this area. Ms. Moore displayed a map showing the building locations and where the facilities
would be placed on the building. The renderings depicted before and after the facilities placed on the
building. The Beta Sector exceeds the building height by three feet eleven inches. Staff has worked with
the applicant regarding design and required all equipment to be enclosed. The facilities would be
accessed through the roof. Ms. Moore concluded that staff recommends that the Commission forward a
recommendation to the Town Council to approve the Special Use Permit to allow Verizon Wireless to
install three cellular antennas with associated roof-mounted equipment to be located within 300 feet of a
residentially zoned and platted property and one of these antenna, located on the northeast corner of the
roof to be three feet eleven inches above the maximum allowed height of fifty-four feet at 16845 East
Avenue of the Fountains.
Darren Snodgrass Regional Director of Velocitel, explained to the Commission the proposal for a
wireless communications facility located at the 16845 East Avenue of the Fountains. Mr. Snodgrass
highlighted that the facility will augment and improve wireless voice, data and internet related service to
the Fountain Hills community, further enhancing the attractions of Fountain Hills to future residents,
businesses, visitors and tourists. The facility will provide enhanced E911 Service, enhanced mobile
streaming capabilities, location services (GPS) for mapping programs and augmented capacity to help
prevent dropped calls or system busy. Mr. Snodgrass addressed concerns brought up at a previous
Page 7 of 12
commission meeting regarding the structures location and visibility. He stated the screens will be
constructed to cover all four sides so that homes located to the south would not see the antenna. The
• Verizon technicians would have roof access through the rooftop hatch. To prevent any noise the
equipment is buffered behind enclosed material and inside a cabinet. Mr. Snodgrass concluded with an
explanation that no other existing towers or structures in the area met the engineering requirements.
Chairman Dabrowski asked if there were any requests to speak and the Recorder Paula Woodward
answered there is one speaker who would like to address the commission.
Bart Shea addressed the commission stating that the cellular facilities are needed to supply the WIFI that
was part of the Park Place Development Agreement. This site is unique in that it would not be able to
receive service from the surrounding cactus or palm tree antennas placed throughout the town.
Mr. Shea concluded with thanking the commission for the consideration.
Commissioner Jones asked if there is existing equipment located on the roof, and what is the material of
the screening.
Mr. Shea replied not at this time. Once the restaurants and businesses are in location there will be
equipment. The equipment will be below the maximum height restriction and not visible.
Mr. Snodgrass said it is a fiberglass like material that radio frequency waves can pass through.
Commissioner Jones asked why one structure has to be taller than the other two.
Ms. Moore answered that the one location of the Beta Sector tower height is measured from the existing
grade, which is higher at the west end thus making it three feet eleven inches above the maximum
allowed height of fifty-four feet for this property.
Vice-Chairman Dempster asked if the Beta Sector tower could be mounted on the side of the building
instead of the top of the building.
Mr. Snodgrass said there is more kickback at the back of the antenna than the front of the antenna. This
would give more long term exposure of radio frequency which is not a good idea.
Commissioner Boik referenced the small cell units replacing the macro units.
Mr. Snodgrass said there is a possibility to augment in the future.
In response to Commissioner Jones, Mr. Snodgrass said they are DAS systems. Small cells do not allow
for tower height reduction.
Commissioner Hansen asked if this is everything or nothing regarding the towers.
Mr. Snodgrass said all three towers are necessary.
Chairman Dabrowski asked if the Verizon Antennas are necessary to provide the Wi-Fi and can the Wi-Fi
occur without the Verizon Antennas?
Mr. Shea said the antennas are needed to provide cellular service and the free Wi-Fi.
Vice-Chairman Dempster MOVED to forward a recommendation to the Town Council to approve the Special
Use Permit to allow Verizon Wireless to install three cellular antennas with associated roof-mounted
equipment to be located within three hundred feet of a residentially zoned and plated property and one of these
antenna,located on the northeast corner of the roof to be three feet eleven inches above the maximum allowed
Page 8 of 12
height of fifty four feet at 16845 East Avenue of the Fountains as depicted in the site plan submitted with this
request, with stipulations that all three wireless facilities are screened on all four sides. Commissioner Boik

AGENDA ITEM# 6- PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE COMMENTS ON ORDINANCE 18-07,
AN AMENDMENT TO THE TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS ZONING ORDINANCE AND
ZONING MAP TO CHANGE THE ZONING ON 0.36 ACRES LOCATED AT 11639 N.
SAGUARO BLVD. (AKA APN#176-08-448) FROM C-1 — NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL
AND PROFESSIONAL ZONING DISTRICT TO C-3 — GENERAL COMMERCIAL ZONING
DISTRICT TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN AUTO SALES, SERVICE, AND
DETAIL BUSINESS. (CASE#Z2018-02)
Chairman Dabrowski opened the public hearing at 8:36 p.m.
Ms. Moore presented a staff report and a PowerPoint presentation (Copy on file in the Development
Services Department)on the details of an application submitted by Rex Foley to rezone 11639 N. Saguaro
Blvd. from C-1 —Neighborhood Commercial and Professional to C-3 — General Commercial to allow a
411) one-story 3,800 square foot auto sales, service and detail business and a proposed 500 square foot future
expansion totaling 4300 square feet of building lot coverage to be constructed as a permitted use. The
applicant owns an existing auto sales business in town and wants to expand to be able to increase their
inventory by displaying fifty to sixty vehicles at the subject property. They would also provide auto
service and detailing services for inventory at both the existing location and proposed locations. They
would like to access the property from both Desert Vista Right of Way and the alley. The full build-out
would require five parking spaces which their rendering displays. Ms. Moore provided details on the
difference between the two zoning districts, the current and proposed, intensity of uses. Intensity is the
increased floor to area ratio and in this case is met with smaller setbacks and an increased in building
height. Lower intensity uses are offices, restaurants, banks, and other retail businesses that support the
local neighborhood commercial development. In researching of thirty parks within the valley the same
size as Desert Vista Neighborhood Park, uses were typically residential and public uses such as churches
and schools. Only two of the thirty had more intense use.
Ms.Moore pointed out the General Plan which was adopted in 2010, states that the Foley Motor proposal
is inconsistent with the General Plan's "Goal Five: Protect and reserve existing neighborhoods from
incompatible adjacent land uses." Staff's analysis of the neighborhood is that of a park— Desert Vista
Neighborhood Park. The park use and safety issues are concerns which may outweigh the commercial
development. In conclusion Ms. Moore stated staff recommends denial of this rezoning request due to the
proposal's inconsistencies with the General Plan 2010, and because of safety concerns with increasing the
intensity of the land use, which for this proposed development includes an increase in exposure to
chemicals, air pollutants, noise, and traffic, adjacent to the Town's Desert Vista neighborhood Park. Ms.
Moore stated if the commission votes to recommend approval, staff recommends stipulations be placed
on the development of the property as outlined in the staff report.
Ms. Dabrowski asked if the applicant was present for questions. The applicant, Rex Foley was not
represent but on his behalf Dave Montgomery, Montgomery Engineering answered the Commissions
questions.
Page 9 of 12
Mr.Montgomery said that everything Mr. Foley is asking for is within the zoning requirements except for
the motorcar sales.Mr. Foley owns a similar car sales lot on Saguaro Blvd. It has been observed that there
is very little high traffic volume that would affect the park and surrounding area. There are a lot of
parked car for sale but not much movement of vehicles. The hours of operation would be day time hours,
most likely closing at 6:00 p.m. so there would be no impact after that time and very little during business
hours.
Chairman Dabrowski asked if there were any requests to speak and the Recorder Paula Woodward
answered there were none.
Chairman Dabrowski closed the public hearing at 8:45 p.m.
AGENDA ITEM # 7 - CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE 18-07, AN AMENDMENT TO THE
TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS ZONING ORDINANCE AND ZONING MAP TO CHANGE THE
ZONING ON 0.36 ACRES LOCATED AT 11639 N. SAGUARO BLVD. (AKA APN#176-08-448)
FROM C-1 —NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL AND PROFESSIONAL ZONING DISTRICT
TO C-3—GENERAL COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICT TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION
OF AN AUTO SALES, SERVICE BUSINESS. (CASE#Z2018-02)
Vice-Chairman Dempster asked how many parking spaces were requested and how many employees are
expected.
Ms.Moore replied there are five parking spaces and they comply with the zoning ordinance.
Mr.Montgomery stated two to five employees.
Vice-Chairman Dempster asked if a buffer could be made between the property area that faces the park.
Ms.Moore said a review of buffers were considered but the applicant would most likely want egrees/ingress to
that area. There would not be a line of site issue based on the measurements estimated. The service bays
would back into the alley.
Discussion took place amongst the commission regarding if service of vehicles were the same as sales and if
the zoning would allow both.
In response to Commissioner Dabrowski, Ms. Moore said that there is a C-3 zoning district to accommodate
more intense uses such as noise,traffic,fluids and chemicals possibly from doing detailing and service. If this
was just C-3 zoning and didn't need the rezoning we would not be concerned about the noise as long as there
was compliance with the noise ordinance.
Mr. Montgomery said that the service would be similar to oil changes and minor items such as repair. It
would not include body work or painting.
Commisisoners Jones and Chairman Dabrowski questioned what was covered under the C-3 verses the C-1
and what are the restrictions.
Mr. Boik pointed out the narrative states, "with the possibility of expanding further in the future to service
other outside vehicles in the Fountain Hills area."
Ms.Moore referenced the Zoning Ordinance Chapter 12,Section 12.02.D.which includes repair.
Chairman Dabrowski MOVED to forward a recommendation to the Town Council to approve Ordinance 18-
07 declaring as a public record that certain documents filed with the Town Clerk and entitled the"Ordinance

A public hearing was held for this project at the January 25, 2018 Planning and Zoning Commission
meeting. It was then forwarded for public hearing at the February 20, 2018 Town Council with a
recommendation to approve the PAD with the following stipulations:
1. Provide larger landscaping plants as a trade-off for the reduction in the number of plants
f installed.
2. Increase the number of plants in the northwest corner of the lot.
3. Provide trees and taller plants along the south building wall.
4. Ensure the rooftop equipment is screened.
5. Widen E Trevino Drive all the way to N Burkemo Drive.
6. Create an entry sign that better blends in with the building structure.
7. Bring the height of the building down as much as possible, since the base zoning is 25
feet.
The applicant made changes to their proposal in an attempt to meet the Planning and Zoning
Commission's recommended stipulations. However, Town Council expressed concerns about the
project and architectural design. Prior to opening up the item for public hearing, Town Council voted
to continue the item until the applicant met with Town citizens to bring forward a new proposal that
had public input.
Staff has determined that the changes made to the proposal are substantial enough to warrant a
return to the Planning and Zoning Commission for another review.
The following is a summary of the revised proposal for the Fountain Hills Senior Living PAD:
"Fountain Hills Senior Living" is a proposed Assisted Living / Memory Care project located at 9700 N.
Saguaro Blvd. The proposal consists of a two-story building that is approximately 126,000 square feet
in size with a 78,000 building footprint. The uses would consist of 141 beds. The Assisted Living
amenities include the "multiple dining venues, community room, clubhouse/lounge, pool, physical
therapy/exercise room, salon, and library". The Memory Care portion of the building amenities
includes "living rooms, dining room, library, family room, four seasons room, assisted bathing, and
exam room". Shared spaces on the ground floor include "employee lounge, a commercial kitchen,
property management offices with a conference room, and various other support spaces".

Fountain Hills Senior Living PAD
Planning and Zoning—24 May 2018
The property is currently zoned Hemingway PAD. With the Hemingway PAD, which was adopted in
2015, the following were adopted and remain a part of this development without needing additional
approvals:
Special Use Permit to allow an assisted living facility
A 3-foot fill waiver
Abandonment of the Hillside Protection Easement
The Fountain Hills Senior Living PAD would change the underlying zoning from Hemingway PAD with
a base C-1 - Neighborhood Commercial and Professional Zoning District to Fountain Hills Senior
Living PAD, maintaining a base C-1 - Neighborhood Commercial and Professional Zoning District
base zoning district.
The applicant is requesting the following waivers from the Zoning Ordinance (Z.O.) and Subdivision
Ordinance (S.O.):
1. Grant a Special Use Permit for retirement-focused multifamily uses, including assisted
living (Per Chapter 12 Section 12.03.F of the Zoning Ordinance).
2. Route the offsite drainage flows to N. Saguaro Boulevard.
The historic offsite flows which enter the site, will be piped through the site and
discharged into the N. Saguaro Boulevard drainage system, thus separating them from
the onsite drainage, which will be retained (Per Article Section 4.04.G of the Subdivision
Ordinance).
3. Provide a minimum of 8.5' from building wall to drive aisle curb.
Reducing the minimum requirement from 10 feet to 8.5 feet would allow minor flexibility
in building location while maximizing the landscape setbacks along the perimeter to be
greater than what is required by the Town. (See Building Offset Exhibit)
(Per Chapter 7 Section 7.02.F.1 of the Zoning Ordinance).
4. Dedicate a 10' roadway easement in lieu of right-of-way dedication in order to construct
a wider street section (minor collector) along E. Trevino Drive between N. Burkemo
Drive and N. Saguaro Boulevard per Town's request without affecting the roadside
building setbacks.
(Per Article 3 Section 3.D.5).
5. Provide two 40-foot-wide entrances along E. Trevino Drive.
This driveway width will allow for adequate turning radii for emergency service and
delivery vehicles to access the site. Delivery vehicles coming to the service entry will be
able to enter the site at the eastern E. Trevino Drive entrance and exit at the western
entrance without having to navigate around the site
(Per Engineering Design for Fire and Delivery Truck Town Engineering Policy).
6. Allow the height of an entry sign to be measured from finished grade instead of the top
of curb of the public road nearest the sign (so long as it does not impede line of sight).
The conceptual entry monument sign is sited on the southeast corner of the site at
Saguaro Blvd. and E. Trevino Drive. The sign is 5'0" tall at the center with shorter 2'-6"
walls flanking either side (relative to surrounding proposed grade). The sign wall is less
than the 50-square foot maximum allowed per Zoning Ordinance. Boulders clustered on
each side anchor the sign and allow it to blend aesthetically with the surrounding site.
See the Landscape Exhibit (Detail 4 on L-0.02)
Page 3 of 7
Fountain Hills Senior Living PAD
Planning and Zoning-24 May 2018
(Per Chapter 6 Section 6.07.H)
7. Allow a reduction in the planting requirements.
The proposed plant density per the attached exhibit will allow for the plant material to
achieve its mature size while maintaining the desired desert character. See the Plant
Density Exhibit within the Preliminary Landscape Plans (L-0.01 F). In lieu of the
decreased number of plants, larger plants will be installed per the landscape plan
included in this PAD
(Per Chapter 6 Section 6.05 of the Subdivision Ordinance)
8. Allow a screen wall up to 10' in height.
Increasing the height limit to a maximum of 10' will allow for requested screening by
adjacent property owners on the rear property line (Per Chapter 5 Section 5.09.A.1 of
the Zoning Ordinance).
9. Waive construction of a sidewalk along Burkemo Drive.
The sidewalk along N. Saguaro Boulevard will be extended north to Monterey Drive, in
lieu of sidewalk along the Burkemo Drive frontage in order to meet the Town's offsite
improvements requirement (Per Town's Future Sidewalk General Plan).
Parking requirements for this use are 36 spaces. However, the plan proposes to have 66 parking
spaces. The additional spaces will be able to meet holiday visitor demands typical of this type of
facility.
General Plan:
The current General Plan was adopted in 2010. While this is now 8 years old, it is still a legal
document used as the rationale behind growth and development within the Town and each
municipality in the State of Arizona is mandated to have this document. The Town is required to
update this document every 10 years. The General Plan is adopted via referendum by the Town's
citizens.
Staff analyzed the project for consistency with the definitions, visions, goals and objectives outlined in
the Fountain Hills General Plan 2010, which is the long-range plan for growth and development for
the Town. This analysis is included as an Attachment to this staff report.
This proposal is inconsistent with a number of Goals and Objectives spelled out in the General Plan
2010.
Policy and Current Trends:
While the General Plan is an over-riding growth and development legal document, over time the
Town leadership may adopt policies that address new information and trends that may develop during
the 10-year period between the adoption of revised General Plans. To this end, it has been Town
policy, as outlined in the General Plan 2010, to promote commercial development, which is a
predominant funding source for the local government. However, commercial vacancy (including both
buildings and lots) is ubiquitous in town. There have been multiple discussions regarding "down-
zoning" commercial properties to residential. In fact, the Fountain Hills Strategic Plan — 2017's
Objective #2 states "Increase population and residential densities to sustain existing and future
commercial businesses in town" with a three tasks to meet this objective:
• Rezone undeveloped commercial property to residential where feasible;
Adopt a text amendment that allows residential uses on commercially zoned properties;
• Rezone unplatted land for greater density and affordable family homes
Page 4 of 7
Fountain Hills Senior Living PAD
Planning and Zoning-24 May 2018
Rezoning this property to allow for multi-family housing would be a step towards achieving this
objective.
While this proposed land use (multi-family residential) is generally inconsistent with the land use
ascribed to it in the General Plan (commercial/retail), it would provide a buffer between the uses to
the north — single-family residential, and the uses to the south — fast food and a gas station with
convenient store. It is not uncommon for multi-family residences to work as a transition between high-
intensity commercial uses and low-intensity single-family residential uses.
Some Multi-Family densities defined in the Zoning Ordinance are higher than what is called for by the
base Land Use designation. In commercial districts, the R-3 Multifamily Zoning density of 14 units per
acre is what is typically allowed. In the R-4 Multi-Family district, 21 units per acre are allowed, and in
the R-5 Multi-Family district 25 units per acre are allowed.
The proposed development is consistent with the R-5 Multi-Family Zoning District. In the same
general area there are three other High-density Multi-family developments with R-5 zoning: Little
Fountains, Montera Ranch, and Firerock Resort Casitas. (See attached aerial map "R-5 Multi-Family /
High Density development near subject property".)
As a comparison between this project and other assisted living development in town, the following
table is provided:
Name of Project Building Footprint
Fountain Hills Senior Living (subject project) 1.79 acres (1 two-story bldg)
Morning Star Assisted Living Facility 1.04 acres (1 two-story bldg)
The Hemmingway (approved PAD for subject property 2.33 acres (10 one-story bldgs)
The project must meet all of the requirements of the base C-1 zoning and be in substantial
compliance with the proposed PAD and conceptual site plan requirements as presented in order to
receive approval of a building permit.
Concurrency
All utilities and services provided in or by the Town of Fountain Hills are or can service this site, to
include but not limited to: Fire Rescue, Police, schools, water, electric, sewer, telecommunications,
and stormwater management.
Risk Analysis (options or alternatives with implications):
Approval of the Planned Area Development will allow the applicant to create and submit construction
drawings and proceed to the Building Permit processes.
Approval of the Fountain Hills Senior Living PAD will rezone the property from the current Hemingway
PAD zoning district designation and allow development in accordance with the proposed Fountain
Hills Senior Living PAD guidelines.
Disapproval will require the applicants to redesign the project in order to address the reasons for
denial, or abandon the project.

Staff Recommendation(s):
Staff reviewed the applicant's resubmittal and determined that the applicant has made efforts to
comply with the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended stipulations and to address the
Town Council's concerns with this revised proposal.
The Town has adopted a General Plan with specific goals and objectives, of which this proposal
meets some, but is generally inconsistent with General Plan. The Town has adopted zoning that
generally supports the goals and objectives of the General Plan 2010, and with the exception of the
nine waivers requested by the applicant, this proposal is generally consistent with the C-1 Zoning
District regulations, the Zoning Ordinance, and the Subdivision Ordinance.
Traditionally, multi-family uses may be used as a buffer between commercial and single-family uses,
and this project could serve as such a buffer. Because of the complexity of the various issues, staff
suggests the Commission carefully weigh the issues when making their recommendation and
stipulations, if any.
After analysis, Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission forward a
recommendation to the Town Council to APPROVE ORDINANCE 18-03 amending the Town of
Fountain Hills Official Zoning District Map for approximately 5.74 acres generally located at the
northwest corner of Saguaro Boulevard and Trevino Drive from Hemingway PAD to Fountain Hills
416, Senior Living PAD as presented, excluding waiver#8.
Any screen/fence wall(s) installed along the north property line may be no taller than 6 feet in height
and must be constructed at the property line for those neighbors who wish to have it installed.

Fountain Hills Senior Living PAD (Case #Z2017-04)
Ordinance #18-03
General Plan 2010 -Consistency Analysis for "Fountain Hills Senior Living" PAD with the
Plan's Goals and Objectives (only applicable goals and objectives are provided, as many are
not applicable to this specific project)
Chapter Three Land Use Element
The land use, which underlies the zoning district, for this project it C/R-General Commercial/Retail. This
land use category is defined as, "areas providing for the sale of convenience goods (food, drugs, and
sundries)and personal services that meet the daily needs of a multi-neighborhood trade area".
This land use is inconsistent with the underlying land use designation of Commercial/Retail.
Because this land use is considered "multi-family residential'; staff analyzed how many units per acre
would be allowed. The property is 5.74 acres and 141 beds are proposed. This calculates to 24.6 dwelling
units per acre, which exceeds the maximum multi-family density land use defined in the General Plan,
which is 10.0-12.0 dwelling units per acre in the "Multi-Family/High Density" Allowable Residential
Densities. (Staffs policy for residential dwelling units in commercially-zoned districts is a maximum of 14
dwelling units per acre, which is what is allowed in the R-3 Multi-Family Zoning District as allowed in the
Town Center Commercial Zoning District.)
Chapter Four Growth Areas Element
Vision: A Town that is vibrant, successful and attractive, where businesses are complementary,
where a wide range of housing types is available, and where open space is preserved.
Goal One: Provide a community that is competitive and attractive to business
• Objective 1.1 The Town should continue to examine creative methods to attract
complementary retail and office business users that have mid to small space requirements
and locate them within the existing retail corridors on both Saguaro Boulevard and
Fountain Hills Boulevard.
The proposed project is located in a designated retail corridor- the corner of Shea Blvd and N Saguaro
Blvd. It is not retail or office business. This proposal is inconsistent with Objective 1.1.
• Objective 1.3 The Town should focus promotional efforts on attracting small to medium
sized businesses and offices that are appropriate to the future Town Center and corridor
areas, and include accommodations for the proposed expansion of regional and local
transit systems.
The proposed project is not a small to medium sized business - it is multi-family development. It is
inconsistent with this part of Objective 1.3. However, there is possibly an opportunity to expand a transit
access by adding a bus stop in this area, and concrete pads for these potential future stops have been
installed-one on Shea Blvd just west of Saguaro Blvd and one on Shea Blvd just east of Saguaro Blvd.
• Objective 1.4 The Town should look favorably on any new, revitalization or redevelopment
projects that emphasize the Town's unique character and scale. All projects should
incorporate pedestrian pathways, bicycle accommodations.
This project is designed to be one building immediately adjacent to single family residential and small
commercial business. The scale of the building is inconsistent with the character of that area. Because
of the amount of traffic at that intersection (Shea Blvd is a principal arterial"and Saguaro Blvd is a minor
arterial') and high customer turn-over of the commercial uses to the south, this area is not in a
1
Fountain Hills Senior Living PAD (Case #Z2017-04)
Ordinance #18-03
traditional pedestrian-friendly or bicycle-friendly area, though sidewalks and bicycle paths are provided in
this area. Per the applicant, the residents typically don't have vehicles. Because of this, modes of
transportation would be walking or using transit provided by others. This is inconsistent with Objective
1.4.
• Objective 1.5 The Town should prepare an Area Specific Plan for the Shea Boulevard
corridor near Saguaro Boulevard. The Plan should evaluate rezoning possibilities that
would increase the inventory of commercially zoned land.
This is a multi-family residential use and is inconsistent with Objective 1.5.
Goal Three: Encourage the Development of a variety of housing types.
This project provides assisted-living and memory care, which adds an alternative housing type from the
predominant single-family residential inventory. This project is consistent with Goal Three.
Goal Five: Promote developments that will continue to provide small town character and quality of
life.
• Objective 5.1 The Town should encourage locally owned and operated businesses.
This project is not locally owned and therefore is inconsistent with Objective 5.1.
• Objective 5.2 The Town should encourage the development and extension of pedestrian
pathways and bicycle trails in a manner that will link businesses, schools, shops and
recreational activity centers.
This project will provide a sidewalk along Saguaro Blvd. from Trevino Drive to Monterey Drive. This
provides a pedestrian walkway that currently does not exist and provides a connection to the sidewalks to
the south and north along N Saguaro Blvd. This plan is consistent with Objective 5.2.
rik
• Objective 5.4 The Town should discourage the widening of non-arterial streets except for
the addition of bicycle lanes.
The proposed project is designed so that access to the property is primarily from Trevino Dr, with a
second access off of Burkemo Dr. Town staff has historically desired access to this site be off of Saguaro
Blvd., the reason being the existing traffic issues along Trevino Dr. due to the high intensity and high
traffic volume uses to the south (a gas station and fast food/drive throughs). Because this project is
requesting their primary access be on Trevino Dr., they are proposing to widen Trevino to mitigate the
additional traffic issues they are creating by adding more congestion to that street. By doing so, they are
essentially turning Trevino Dr. from a local non-arterial to a minor collector. Additionally, no bike lane is
proposed along Trevino Dr. This project is inconsistent with Objective 5.4.
• Objective 5.8 The Town should ensure that all new housing provide street side
landscaping complimentary to the native desert vegetation.
This project provides desert landscaping along all frontages. It is consistent with Objective 5.8.
Chapter Seven Circulation Element
• Objective 1.11 The Town should develop policies to address street-level drainage and
wash crossings and investigate the need for flood control and drainage accommodations
at drainage ways and street crossings.
The applicant is requesting, `Route the offsite drainage flows to N. Saguaro Boulevard. The historic offsite
flows which enter the site, will be piped through the site and discharged onto N. Saguaro Boulevard, thus
separating them from the onsite drainage, which will be retained (Per Article Section 4.04.G of the
Subdivision Ordinance)."

Fountain Hills Senior Living PAD (Case #Z2017-04)
Ordinance #18-03
It should be noted that the project will be detaining all on-site stormwater, but off-site stormwater, which
historically has flowed over this property onto Saguaro Blvd., will still follow that flow pattern at its current
flow rate.

THE FOUNTAIN HILLS SENIOR LIVING—PLANNED AREA DEVELOPMENT(PAD)
Section 1—Purpose
The Fountain Hills Senior Living PAD zoning district, formerly approved as the Hemingway PAD
zoning district, is located on 250,062 square feet (5.74 acres)and is established to (i)rezone the district
to Fountain Hills Senior Living PAD; (ii) to create a modified set of regulations based upon the C-1
zoning district requirements; and (iii) approve certain uses that would otherwise require a special use
permit under C-1, and waive certain requirements including the following:
1. Grant a Special Use Permit for retirement-focused multifamily uses,including assisted living
(Per Chapter 12 Section 12.03.F of the Zoning Ordinance).
2. Route the offsite drainage flows to N. Saguaro Boulevard.
The historic offsite flows which enter the site, will be piped through the site and discharged
onto N. Saguaro Boulevard, thus separating them from the onsite drainage, which will be
retained(Per Article 4 Section 4.04.G of the Subdivision Ordinance).
3. Provide a minimum of 8.5' from building wall to drive aisle curb.
Reducing the minimum requirement from 10 feet to 8.5 feet would allow minor flexibility in
building location while maximizing the landscape setbacks along the perimeter to be greater
than what is required by the Town (See Building Offset Exhibit) (Per Chapter 7 Section
7.02.F.1 of the Zoning Ordinance).
4. Dedicate a 10' roadway easement in lieu of right-of-way dedication in order to construct a
wider street section(minor collector)along E.Trevino Drive between N. Burkemo Drive and
N. Saguaro Boulevard per Town's request(Per Article 3 Section 3.D.5).
5. Provide two 40-foot-wide entrances along E. Trevino Drive.
This width will allow for adequate turning radii for emergency service and delivery vehicles
to access the site. Delivery vehicles coming to the service entry will be able to enter the site
at the eastern E. Trevino Drive entrance and exit at the western entrance without having to
navigate around the site (Per Engineering Design for Fire and Delivery Truck Town
Engineering Policy).
6. Allow the height of an entry sign to be measured from finished grade instead of from the top
of curb grade of the nearest public road nearest the sign(so long as it does not impede line of
sight).
The conceptual entry monument sign is sited on the southeast corner of the site at Saguaro
Blvd.and E.Trevino Drive.The sign is 5'0"tall at the center with shorter 2'-6"walls flanking
either side(relative to surrounding proposed grade). The sign wall is less than the 55-square
foot maximum allowed per Town code. Boulders clustered on each side anchor the sign and
allow it to blend aesthetically with the surrounding site. See the Landscape Exhibit(Detail 4
on L-0.02)
ca,
The Fountain Hills Senior Living PAD
9700 N. Saguaro Blvd
Fountain Hills,AZ
7. Allow a reduction in the planting requirements.
The proposed plant density per the attached exhibit will allow for the plant material to
achieve its mature size while maintaining the desired desert character. See the Plant Density
Exhibit within the Preliminary Landscape Plans(L-0.01 F) (Per Chapter 6 Section 6.05 of
the Subdivision Ordinance). In lieu of the decreased number of plants, larger plants will be
installed per the landscape plan included in this PAD.
8. Allow a screen wall up to 10' in height.
Increasing the height limit to a maximum of 10' will allow for requested screening by
adjacent property owners on the rear property line (Per Chapter 5 Section 5.09.A.1 of the
Zoning Ordinance).
9. Waive construction of a sidewalk along Burkemo Drive.
The sidewalk along N. Saguaro Boulevard will be extended north to Monterey Drive, in lieu
of sidewalk along the Burkemo Drive frontage in order to meet the Town's offsite
improvements requirement(Per Town's Future Sidewalk General Plan).
The Fountain Hills Senior Living PAD hereby establishes the 5.74-acre PAD zone subject to the design
guidelines and standards set forth below and the Town of Fountain Hills Zoning Ordinance. In the event
of a conflict between the Zoning Ordinance and this PAD, the provisions of this PAD shall prevail.
Unless specifically modified herein, all the provisions of the Town of Fountain Hills Zoning Ordinance
and Town of Fountain Hills Subdivision Ordinance shall apply to this PAD.
Section 2—Development Plan
Upon the Town Council's approval of the ordinance adopting the Fountain Hills Senior Living PAD,
development of the property shall be governed as set forth in this Development Plan. The Fountain Hills
Senior Living PAD shall include uses identified as Permitted Uses and Special Permit Uses in the Town's
C-1 zoning district. Incorporated by reference into this Development Plan are the following documents,
which are attached in the appendix hereto(collectively,the"Concept Plan"):

5. Site Conditions:
"The Fountain Hills Senior Living" is planned as an Assisted Living/Memory Care Living
("AL/MC") complex at the northwest corner of N. Saguaro Boulevard and E. Trevino Drive.
The land is of varying slopes generally sloping from north to south and bordered by five single
family homes to the north, Montera Ranch Condominiums across N. Saguaro Boulevard to the
east, single family vacant lots across Burkemo Drive to the west and McDonalds, That Guy's
Pizza, Senor Taco, Munich Gyros and Circle K to the south across E. Trevino Drive. "The
Fountain Hills Senior Living" will be developed between single family homes, condominiums
and commercial property making it a traditional transitional use between all adjacent uses.
Existing drainage swales will be replaced with inlet structures and storm drain pipe so that offsite
flow can be routed through the site and discharged at N. Saguaro Blvd which is the historical
outfall point. Adequate underground detention basins will be designed based on the 100-year,2-
hour storm. The Conceptual Grading Plan is included as part of this PAD.

Fountain Hills Senior Living Traffic Impact Analysis
Executive Summary
Introduction
A new proposed mixed-use senior living development is being planned on the northwest corner of the Saguaro
Boulevard and Trevino Drive intersection in the Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona. The development consists of
multi-story assisted living and memory care facilities on approximately 6 total acres. The development is
planned to include 98 assisted living units and 32 memory care units. Some two-bedroom units are planned for
the assisted living units for a combined total of 141 beds. The year 2020 is the assumed opening year for the
purposes of this report.
Results
The proposed development is anticipated to generate the following weekday traffic volumes.
Day AM Peak Hour PM Peak Hour
Time Period Units
Enter i Exit Total Enter Exit Total Enter Exit Total
AL&MC(ITE LUC 254) 141 Beds 193 193 386 23 9 32 23 32 55
Recommendations without Proposed Development
All existing intersections and movements are operating at a level-of-service "D" or better during the peak hours
of traffic. Under ambient 2020 traffic conditions, some additional delay is anticipated. However, all study
intersections and movements are anticipated to continue to operate at a level-of-service "D" or better during
the peak hours of traffic.
The analysis results reveal that the existing and ambient 2020 traffic conditions at the Saguaro Boulevard /
Monterey Drive and Saguaro Boulevard /Trevino Drive intersection do not satisfy any of the warrants for traffic
signal installation.
No additional turn-lanes or improvements are recommended.
Recommendations with Proposed Development
Figure 1 depicts the recommended lane configuration and traffic control at the study intersections and site
accesses. Under 2020 with site traffic conditions, some minor additional delay is anticipated. However, all
study intersections and movements are anticipated to continue to operate at a level-of-service "D" or better
during the peak hours of traffic.
Per Town requirements, Trevino Drive will be widened from Saguaro Boulevard to Burkemo Drive to provide
one lane in each direction and a two-way, left-turn lane. The widened section will be striped to taper back to
match the existing roadway width to the west of Burkemo Drive. Due to the geometry at the Saguaro Boulevard
/ Trevino Drive intersection, it is recommended to provide a separate eastbound left-turn and shared thru /
right-turn lane.
The analysis results reveal that the 2020 with site traffic conditions at the Saguaro Boulevard / Monterey Drive
and Saguaro Boulevard / Trevino Drive intersection do not satisfy any of the warrants for traffic signal
installation.
It is recommended to provide signage (MUTCD R10-7 or equivalent) and striping (per MUTCD Section 3B.17
and Town approval) on Trevino Drive to discourage driveway obstruction near Saguaro Boulevard.

REQUESTS TO PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION:
RECONSIDERATION of a proposed SPECIAL USE PERMIT to allow Verizon Wireless to install three
cellular antennas with associated roof-mounted equipment to be located within 300 feet of a
residentially zoned and platted property and one of these antenna, located on the northeast corner of
the roof to be 2-feet 4-inches above the maximum allowed height of 54 feet at 16845 E Avenue of the
Fountains. Case # SU2018-01

General Plan 2010 Chapter 5
Verizon Wireless- 16845 E Avenue of the Fountains
5/24/2018
Staff Summary (background):
The Verizon Wireless site is located on the roof of Park Place, Phase 1 at 16845 Avenue of the
Fountains. While the towers could be used to locate Wi-Fi equipment, it is not a component of this
request. Per the applicant, "There is a third party who (could) be installing the WIFI and the Land
Owner (would) be managing and working through a contract with the WIFI Vendor to facilitate the
agreement Park Place has with the Town. The WIFI is not a component of the antenna. It is a
separate system. There is a proprietary contract that (would) be negotiated between Verizon and the
Landlord. The Capital Contribution agreed to by Verizon will be managed and dispersed by the
Landlord. Vendor selection for the WIFI is up to the Landlord."
The placement of the proposed wireless facilities is part of a plan to install three (3) antennas
with associated screens on the roof of Park Place 1 Building D. All three antennas would
require a Special Use Permit because they do not meet the requirement to be located outside
of a 300-foot radius from a residentially zoned and platted property.
The "Sector Beta" tower, on the northeast corner of the building, has an additional Special Use
Permit requirement due to the antenna and screen exceeding this maximum allowed height.
This proposed wireless antenna and screen is 57-feet 11-inches from existing grade, which is
3-feet 11-inches above this maximum allowed height of 54 feet for this property.
The applicant states the Project Objectives in their narrative:
"Initially identified as an area of concern from subscriber comments and feedback then verified
by the use of radio frequency modeling software it was determined that there is a significant
drop in both coverage and capacity for voice and data capabilities in this area. From that data
a search area and proposed site criteria was developed. A Wireless Communications Facility
located at the subject property will service the surrounding areas and fill in those gaps in
coverage and capacity. This facility will augment and improve wireless voice, data and Internet
related services to the Fountain Hills community further enhancing the attractiveness of
Fountain Hills to future residents, businesses consumers, visitors and tourists.
This facility will provide a number of benefits for the Fountain Hills Community that, again, are
often taken for granted.
1. This facility will provide enhanced voice and data services
2. It will provide for an enhanced E911 Service
3. Enhanced mobile streaming capabilities
4. Location services (GPS) for mapping programs.
5. Augmented Capacity to help prevent dropped calls or system busy."
General Plan 2010 — Consistency Analysis
Chapter Five of the General Plan 2010 states that one of the Town's Visions is "to provide efficient
and cost-effective infrastructure and public facilities systems, including methods that will ensure the
reasonable and equitable participation of private development for both cost and benefit of the public
improvements."
Objective 1.9 under this visions states, "The Town should contact telecommunications providers to
identify and rectify areas in the Town where cell service is not operable or exhibits poor reception."
This facility is consistent with the Vision, Goals, and Objectives of the General Plan 2010.

GRANTING SPECIAL USE PERMITS FOR TOWERS:
In addition to any standards for consideration of special use permit applications pursuant to Chapter 2
of the Zoning Ordinance, the Town Council should consider the following factors in determining
whether to issue a Special Use Permit. The Planning & Zoning Commission may make specific
recommendations regarding any of these items. The Town Council may waive or reduce one or more
of these criteria if they conclude that the goals of the Town are better served by doing so.
Section 17.06.B.3 of the Zoning Ordinance specifically outlines the factors to be considered when
reviewing applications for towers.
Factors Considered in Granting Special Use Permits for Towers. In addition to any
standards for consideration of special use permit applications pursuant to Chapter 2, Section
2.02 of this Zoning Ordinance, the Town Council shall consider the following factors in
determining whether to issue a special use permit, although the Town Council may waive or
reduce the burden on the applicant of one or more of these criteria if the Town Council
concludes that the goals of this ordinance are better served thereby:
a. Height of the proposed tower;
The proposed antenna and screen is 57-feet 11-inches. This exceeds the 54' height limit
established in the Park Place DA. by 3-feet 11-inches. This requirement may be waived
for communication towers as part of the Special Use Permit by the Town Council when
deemed appropriate.
Staff: Staff believes that the height of the tower will not create undue physical effects on
the town. The southwest corner will be visible from ground level on E Paul Nordin
Parkway and the properties immediately adjacent to the south, N Verde River Drive to
the west, and may be visible from the Town Civic Center. From higher elevations to the
south, specifically along E El Lago Boulevard and E Gunsight Drive, the facilities would
be visible on the roof. This may have aesthetic affects on the nearby properties. Staff
has required that the facilities be fully screened (on 4 sides) to reduce any visual
effects.
The zoning ordinance requires that any tower be constructed so that its "fall down"
distance (equal to the height of the tower) is entirely contained within the boundaries of
the property it is located on. This is a precaution against the tower damaging adjoining
properties or structures should it fall. This requirement may be waived as part of the
Special Use Permit by the Town Council when deemed appropriate.
Staff: The antennas are on the roof behind a screen of equal height. If they were to fall,
they would fall onto the roof or the screen structure.
b. Proximity of the tower to residential structures and residentially zoned district
boundaries;
The zoning ordinance requires that any tower within 300' of residentially zoned property
receive Special Use Permit approval from the Town Council.
Staff. The antenna is on top of a residential building.

The applicant states that the facility is designed to have little to no impact on the health
of residents. The noise will be less than "50 db'; and a report entitled "Evaluation of
Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Emissions" (see attached) shows the proposed
facilities are compliant with FCC Guidelines.
c. Nature of uses on adjacent and nearby properties;
The properties immediately adjacent to this location are multi-family residential, mixed
use, assisted living, and public parking.
Staff. The applicant states that the facilities would improve cellular coverage for Verizon
customers.
d. Surrounding topography;
The surrounding topography has a relatively level grade (a region that lacks appreciable
topographic relief)
Staff. Staff's opinion is that the topography will not affect the tower placement, and in
fact was taken into consideration to determine the topography at this location is suitable
for this facility.
e. Surrounding tree coverage and foliage;
There is currently no tree coverage or foliage within the parcel. There is foliage and tree
coverage across Avenue of the Fountains, but not to the rear or side of the property, and
not on the roof where this antenna will be located.
Staff. The applicant is strongly encouraged to design the facilities so that the screen
enclosures will prevent the antenna from being visible from the ground and surrounding
properties.
f. Design of the tower, with particular reference to design characteristics that have
the effect of reducing or eliminating visual obtrusiveness;
The plans presented with the Special Use Permit application show the equipment
screening matching the same design characteristics (color, style, and materials) as the
existing building.
Staff• The design, materials, and colors are proposed to match the existing building.
Because of the topography in the area, the homes located to the south are much higher
in elevation and would be able to see the antenna if they are not enclosed on all 4
sides. Staff advised the applicant of this concern.
g. Proposed ingress and egress;
The proposed antenna is located on the roof and access to the roof is from inside the
building. The antenna will be in an enclosure with a hinged door.
Staff: The proposed facility has good access and egress.
Page 4 of 6
Verizon Wireless- 16845 E Avenue of the Fountains
5/24/2018
h. Availability of suitable existing towers, other structures, or alternative
technologies not requiring the use of towers or structures, as discussed in
Section 17.06(B)(4);
Section 17.06.B.4 specifically relates to the construction of new towers where none
previously existed. In such cases the town should require proof that other less-obtrusive
options are not available.
Staff. Staff requested a response to this consideration from the applicant. Their
response is as follows:
A comprehensive evaluation has been completed - by driving, actually accessing
rooftops, and experienced Site Acquisition review- and determined there are no
existing towers or structures located within the geographic area that would meet the
engineering requirements. There are no co-locatable opportunities in the search area.
Regulations by the FCC do not allow interference and Verizon adheres to those
standards.
Section 17.08 Buildings or Other Equipment Storage
A. Antennas Mounted on Structures or Rooftops: The equipment cabinet or structure used in
association with antennas shall comply with the following:
1. The cabinet or structure shall not contain more than one hundred-twenty (120)
square feet of gross floor area or be more than eight (8) feet in height and shall be
located on the ground.
Staff. Each of the three structures has a footprint of 10-feet by 10-feet (100 square feet). The
equipment cabinet is proposed to be 32-inches by 48.78 inches (10.84 square feet) and 7.1
feet in height. The equipment cabinet is proposed to be located on the roof along with the
wireless structures. While the code states it is to be located on the ground, the applicant states
this is not feasible for this particular location. They are requesting the equipment cabinet be
located on the roof as part of their Special Use Permit.
2. Equipment storage buildings or cabinets shall comply with all applicable building
codes.
Staff. As part of the building permit review, staff would ensure the structures are in compliance
with all building codes.
Risk Analysis (options or alternatives with implications): NA
Fiscal Impact (initial and ongoing costs; budget status): NA
Staff Recommendation(s):
Staff recommends that the Commission forward a recommendation to Town Council to approve the
Special Use Permit to allow Verizon Wireless to install three cellular antennas with associated roof-
mounted equipment to be located within 300 feet of a residentially zoned and platted property and
one of these antenna, located on the northeast corner of the roof to be 3-feet 11-inches above the
maximum allowed height of 54 feet at 16845 E Avenue of the Fountains.

Planning and Zoning Commissioners
RE: Correction of Procedure: March 22, 2018 Planning and Zoning Commission
Hearing for Case SUP2018-01 16845 E Avenue of the Fountains/Verizon Wireless
Commissioners:
At the March 22, 2018 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, the Commission heard
Case SUP 2018-01 16845 E Avenue of the Fountains / Verizon Wireless. The applicant
requested a Special Use Permit to install wireless facilities on the roof of Building D of the
Park Place Development located at 16845 E Avenue of the Fountains. Chapter 17, Section
17.05states that alternative towers or structures are specifically permitted:
"...when such structures and their accompanying equipment are appropriately
blended into the surrounding terrain, are within the height limitations of the
underlying zoning district and are not nearer than three hundred (300) feet to
residentially zoned and platted property."
If the structures do not meet Section 17.05.2, then a Special Use Permit is required per
Chapter 17,Section 17.06.A.1,which states:
If the tower or antenna is not a permitted use under Section 17.05 of this chapter,
then a special use permit shall be required for the construction of a tower or the
placement of an antenna in all zoning districts.
The subject building is located in the TCCD -Town Center Commercial District,the purpose
of which is:
"...is to provide for a variety of pedestrian-oriented retail, office,lodging,residential
and civic land uses in the Town Center area.The intent of the district is to encourage
the development and sustainability of a vibrant mixed-use area where residents and
visitors can live, work, shop, dine, be entertained, enjoy community and cultural
events and contribute to the economic viability of the Town Center area and the
Town as a whole."
The TCCD is a zoning classification that contains and permits residential uses.
The applicant's proposal is for three structures. All three are located on a residential
building in a residentially-zoned district and on residentially platted property. Because the
proposal is for structures on residentially zoned and platted property, all three structures
require a Special Use Permit.
(Pr www.fh.az.gov
1
Additionally, one of the structures exceeds the maximum allowed height requirement of 54
C
feet by 2-feet 4-inches. For this structure, a Special Use Permit is required for both the
location and exceeding the maximum allowed building height.
At the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, a motion was made to "Continue" the
item until the applicant brought back to the Commission a new design that met the height
requirement of 54-feet. At that time, staff incorrectly informed the Commission that a
Special Use Permit was only required for the structure that exceeded the maximum
allowed building height, and should a new design meet this requirement, the item would
not go back before the Planning and Zoning Commission. A new motion was made to
recommend the Town Council deny the request.
In order for this item to be heard on all merits and a motion to be made based on correct
information,this item must be taken back before the Planning and Zoning Commission for a
Public Hearing and recommendation.
Staff has notified the applicant of this needed correction and will they inform staff on how
they want to proceed.
Please contact me if you have questions.

Project Description
The proposal before you today is for a wireless communications facility located upon a new building
under development within Fountain Hills. The carrier proposing this facility is Verizon Wireless.
Verizon's desire is always to work closely with the local municipality to be a good neighbor. In this case
Verizon is proposing rooftop application that will be hidden within a RF friendly camouflage structure.
This structure will be designed to completely blend in with the proposed building. Within those
structures will be all of the equipment for the facility including 9 Antennas, 12 Remote Radio Units and
the radio equipment cabinets. Particular care has been initiated to anticipate the concerns for
aesthetics, including working closely with the building architects to design the camouflaging material.
Project Objectives
Initially identified as an area of concern from subscriber comments and feedback then verified by the use of radio
frequency modeling software it was determined that there is a significant drop in both coverage and capacity for
voice and data capabilities in this area. From that data a search area and proposed site criteria was
developed. A Wireless Communications Facility located at the subject property will service the
surrounding areas and fill in those gaps in coverage and capacity.This facility will augment and improve

(100
wireless voice,data and internet related services to the Fountain Hills community further enhancing the
attractiveness of Fountain Hills to future residents,businesses consumers,visitors and tourists. Within
the last 4 years the FCC has determined that we have hit what was heretofore an unimaginable
milestone: Over 51%of the American households are completely and totally wireless. National
Chamber of Commerce studies identify telecommunications infrastructure as one of the key criteria
both commercial and residential developers look at when targeting planned growth and development.
The reasoning behind telecommunications being a key indicator is varied but sometimes taken for
granted in our modern world. First and foremost it provides communications in all its many different
forms.
This facility will provide a number of benefits for the Fountain Hills Community that,again,are often
taken for granted.
1. This facility will provide enhanced voice and data services
2. It will provide for an enhanced E911 Service
3. Enhanced mobile streaming capabilities
4. Location services(GPS)for mapping programs.
5. Augmented Capacity to help prevent dropped calls or system busy
Project Compliance:
The need for a Conditional Use Permit stems from two separate points within the ordinance. The first
criteria requiring the CUP is that the property currently zoned as TCCP which has been determined to be a
residential classification. Under the ordinance a wireless facility within a residential zone requires a
conditional use permit. The second criteria that is affected under this proposal is the overall approved
fier. height of the building itself.
In this particular case,the approved height of the building was 54'. Subsequently placing a wireless facility
on the roof will exceed that height on two different sectors. After many discussions with the Town Planner
it was determined what baseline was to be used for this review and approval. Based on that determination,
the Alpha and Gamma sectors does in fact fall within the approved 54' height and need not be discussed
under this subsection. The sector that comes into play under this subsection will be the Beta Sector.
Utilizing the determined baseline for measurement this sector reaches a height of 57' 11" or just under 4
feet above the approved height. Visually,these sectors will not appear to be any different as the roof of the
building is a level plane it is the variation of the ground elevations that affect the baseline and therefore the
overall height. Much like with a walk out basement. If you have a side walk going back behind a house and
one going across the front and you use the sidewalk as your baseline, is the house 15'tall or is it 27' tall?
(These are made up numbers but the theory is valid)
Lastly, in an effort to produce a facility that blends into the building profile itself and in consultation with
the planning staff, Verizon is designing this facility with radio frequency friendly shielding that surrounds
each sector on all four sides so no equipment whatsoever can be seen from outside the building.
Inventory of Existing Sites:See attached
Points of Concern:
S
1.Will the screen be constructed to go around all four sides of the antenna? Because of the topography in
the area,the homes located to the south are much higher in elevation and would be able to see the antenna
if they are not enclosed on all 4 sides. Yes
2.How will the antenna be accessed—both access to the roof and access to the antenna within an enclosed
screen?
We will be accessing through the interior stairwell that has roof access. From there,Verizon techs will be
accessing the rooftop via the roof hatch. The screening will be hinged to open and close from behind the
facility.
3.Noise: No permit shall be issued for any facility, which generates a noise level greater than fifty decibels
(50 db)as measured at the edge of the property upon which such facility is sited." The Equipment is
buffered behind an enclosed material and inside of a cabinet,and does not exceed 50db
4.Availability of Suitable Existing Towers, Other Structures, or Alternative Technology: No new tower shall
be permitted unless the applicant demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the Town Council that no
existing tower,structure or alternative technology that does not require the use of towers or structures can
accommodate the applicant's a proposed antenna. An applicant shall submit information requested by the
Town Council related to the availability of suitable existing towers, other structures or alternative
technology. Evidence submitted to demonstrate that no existing tower,structure or alternative technology
can accommodate the applicant's proposed antenna may consist of any of the following:
a. No existing towers or structures are located within the geographic area,which meet applicant's
engineering requirements. When we first are assigned a location to search we do a great
deal of research prior to going into the field. We utilize a mapping program and database to
keep track of existing towers. We first plot the search area on that map and do a scrub against
any existing structures. We then take the target coordinates and run a FAA Search for all types
of applications. We look for those for towers that have been built and also those that are
proposed. Should we find anything that is not in our database we add that to the program and
plot them on our map. Once that is complete we do a Google Earth search of the area to see if
we can see anything of any height from a satellite image. We make note of any properties that
appear to have structures of height. We will often cross check with the local county GIS system.
All of this is completed prior to doing an actual field recognizance. Once in the field we confirm
all of our findings from our desktop discovery.
A comprehensive evaluation has been completed and determined there are no existing towers
or structures located within the geographic area that would meet the engineering
requirements.
b. Existing towers or structures are not of sufficient height to meet applicant's engineering
requirements.
An evaluation,by driving,actually accessing rooftops has determined that there are no existing
towers or structures within the search area that can meet the engineering requirements for this
facility.
c. Existing towers or structures do not have sufficient structural strength to support applicant's
proposed antenna and related equipment. There are no co-locatable opportunities in the
search area or immediately outside the search parameters.
d.The applicant's proposed antenna would cause electromagnetic interference with the antenna
on the existing towers or structures, or the antenna on the existing towers or structures would
cause interference with the applicant's proposed antenna. While it has been determined
that there are no existing structures of height that could fulfil the requirements of the facility,
regulations by the FCC will not allow interference between carriers and most agreements have
interference clauses within them that prohibit interference with other facilities.
e. The fees, costs, or contractual provisions required by the owner in order to share an existing
tower or structure or to adapt an existing tower or structure for sharing are unreasonable. Costs
exceeding new tower development are presumed to be unreasonable. Not applicable as there
are no existing towers or structures of height within the search parameters or immediately
outside of the search parameters.
f.The applicant demonstrates that there are other limiting factors that render existing towers and
structures unsuitable. Please see the included coverage plots
g. The applicant demonstrates that an alternative technology that does not require the use of
towers or structures, such as a cable micro cell network using multiple low-powered
transmitters/receivers attached to a wire line system, is unsuitable. Costs of alternative
technology that exceed new tower or antenna development shall not be presumed to render the
technology unsuitable. See Below for explanation of the Heterogeneous Network or HetNet

Site Compliant Yes
An analysis of this Communications Facility has been completed to determine if it is
compliant with guidelines set forth by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
with regards to maximum human exposure limits.
Calculations of the proposed changes to this site have been performed using RoofView®
MPE software. We have determined that the proposed changes will result in an
insignificant increase to the overall RF environment. The extremely conservative result
derived from RoofView is that a worst-case exposure level of <1% of the FCC General
Population limit can occur at any point on the rooftop. This site is compliant with FCC
guidelines as proposed by Verizon Wireless.

Subject: Verizon Special Use Permit Application
Marissa Moore:
Thank you for taking the time to help me understand the proceedings involving the
request of Verizon for wireless antennas on one of the new buildings along Avenue of the
Fountains. Would you please provide a copy of this email to the members of the Planning &
Zoning Commission and the members of the Town Council.
My wife and I have owned property in Fountain Hills since 1998 and completed the
construction of a home in 2005. We are not permanent residents of Fountain Hills but spend
nearly 6 months of each year here. Because of our need for internet service in locations other
than Fountain Hills, we have discovered that the best way to obtain internet access in multiple
locations is to have it provided by a wireless carrier. We have used Verizon for many years.
We are just able to get by in Fountain Hills, on the back side of a ridge, with download speeds
( between 3 and 4 mbps, even though I have tested other locations in Fountain Hills and observed
download speeds in excess of 35 mbps in some areas. I have had many conversations with
Verizon techs over the years. About 3 years ago, I was informed by a Verizon tech that Verizon
needed to add towers/antennas in Fountain Hills because of the topography and volume of use.
He said it would happen in a year, but that obviously didn't occur.
You may not have had much feedback from users of Verizon wireless internet service,
but let me assure you that the proposed antennas on the building along Avenue of the Fountains
are badly needed by some users. I was also informed by a Verizon tech just today that our
service is provided over the tower/antenna best able to provide us with service, even if the
tower/antenna is maintained by a different provider such as AT&T. Thus, it is clear to me that
the service and the service location proposed by Verizon is essential to some residents of
Fountain Hills. Section 17.01 of the Fountain Hills Zoning Ordinance provides that one of the
goals of the ordinance is to: "(7) enhance the ability of the providers of telecommunications
services to provide such services to the community quickly, effectively, and efficiently." I have
also observed that Section 5.07. B. 6 of the Fountain Hills Zoning Ordinance provides that:
height regulations established elsewhere in the ordinance shall not apply to towers and antennas
approved in accordance with the requirements and provisions stated in Chapter 17 of the
ordinance. The proposed location of the antennas is, of course, on the roof of residential
apartments, however, the surrounding area and the ground floor of the building are devoted to
commercial use. Given what I believe is the demonstrated need for these new antennas, I urge
the Planning & Zoning Commission and the Town Council to approve the request of
Verizon. Art Spalding
