| Tucson Water New Area Development | APPROVED | TP-ENT-0223-00014 - Entitlement Review v1 – APN 140-46-002A – Sonora Campus Swan – 165 acres The elevation of this property places it within the City of Tucson’s Water Department’s (Tucson Water’s) E2 pressure zone. The closest public water main operating at E2 pressures is located in Herman’s Road at the common section line between Section 23 & Section 24, approximately 0.25 miles from the NEC of the property being rezoned. Tucson Water has no objections to this property being rezoned from Pima County CI-2 zoning to City of Tucson I-2 zoning, and requests the following conditions be added to the rezoning document: 1. The owner(s) / developer(s) shall time all new development within the area being rezoned to coincide with the availability of drinking water treatment, transmission, and distribution system capacity. If the City of Tucson’s existing upstream water treatment, transmission and distribution systems are not capable of supplying the total water demand (including the demand for fire suppression water) of the proposed development on the rezoned property, the owner(s) / developer(s) shall be financially responsible for modifying and/or enhancing the existing upstream treatment, transmission and/or distribution systems to meet those needs. 2. The owner(s) / developer(s) shall construct all necessary on-site and off-site public water mains necessary to serve development within the rezoned area at their own expense. 3. The owner(s) /developer (s) shall connect all development within the rezoned area to the City of Tucson’s water distribution system at the location and in the manner specified by Tucson Water. 4. The owner(s) / developer(s) shall design and construct all off-site and on-site water mains necessary to serve the project in the manner specified at the time of review of the Water Master Plan and Water Design Plan. 5. The owner(s) / developer(s) shall complete the construction of all necessary public water treatment, transmission, and distribution facilities as required by all applicable agreements with the City of Tucson, and all applicable regulations, including the Safe Drinking Water Act and those promulgated by ADEQ, before capacity in the upstream public water treatment, transmission and distribution system is permanently committed for any new development within the project site.

| Entitlements | REVIEW COMPLETED | DATE: February 24, 2022 For March 24, 2022 Hearing TO: John Iurino FROM: Scott Clark, Director Zoning Examiner Planning & Development Services SUBJECT: REZONING – ESTABLISHMENT OF ORIGINAL CITY ZONING PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT SERVICES REPORT C15-22-01 Airpark 10 Annexation District Pima County CI-2 to City of Tucson I-2, and Extension of Major Streets and Routes Designation (Ward 5) Issue – This is an application by the City of Tucson to establish Original City Zoning on recently annexed parcels. The parcels are located at the corner of the south side of Los Reales Road and the east side of Alvernon Way (see Case Location Map). Original City Zoning is required by Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS) Title 9-471.L and the Unified Development Code (UDC) Section 4.6. ARS Title 9-471.L: “A city or town annexing an area shall adopt zoning classifications that permit densities and uses no greater than those permitted by the county immediately before annexation. Subsequent changes in zoning of the annexed territory shall be made according to existing procedures established by the city or town for the rezoning of land.” UDC 4.6: “The applicable zoning standards on land annexed into the City, unless otherwise stipulated in the annexation ordinance, shall continue to be the county zoning standards applicable to the property prior to annexation until such time they are replaced by City standards. City zoning standards shall be placed on annexed land within six months of the date of annexation. Zoning standards, zones, overlay zones, and City Zoning Maps are extended to the annexed land in accordance with Section 3.4.4, Mayor and Council Special Exception Procedure.” The established procedure is to “translate” the County Zoning in place before annexation, into the most appropriate City zoning classification. Lawful existing development will be allowed to continue. Property status regarding non- conforming uses and structures will be determined as needed on a case-by-case basis. Applicant’s Request – Establish Original City Zoning for annexed parcels totaling approximately 79.99 acres. Planning & Development Services Recommendation – The Planning & Development Services Department recommends approval of the I-2 zone to establish the Original City Zoning, and extension of the Major Streets and Routes designation as an Arterial Roadway, subject to the provisions of the preannexation development agreement between the applicant and the City of Tucson. MEMORANDUM Rezoning – Original City Zoning Planning & Development Services Report C15-22-01 Airpark 10 Annexation District Pima County CI-2 to City of Tucson I-2, and Extension of Major Streets and Routes (Ward 5) 2 of 3 Background Information The current Owner is under contract to sell the property to Lincoln Property Company, Inc. (LPC) with the intent to develop the property for uses that may include manufacturing, distribution, and warehousing, as well as any other uses allowed in Pima County CI-2 zoning. An Annexation Agreement was approved by Mayor and Council Resolution 23405 on October 19, 2021, which defines and allows all uses currently within Pima County CI-2 that may not be explicitly allowed or considered in City of Tucson I-2. The agreement allows the owner and developer to initiate the Original City Zoning process concurrent to this annexation period, projected to be completed by June 2022. Final consideration for the Original City Zoning will be presented to Mayor and Council on the same agenda as the Ordinance approving the annexation. LPC plans to develop approximately one million square feet of spec buildings with the intent of meeting current market demand for industrial uses. The agreement provides economic incentives to encourage public improvements by the developer and attract future tenants. City construction sales tax, retail sales, tax, and/ or use taxes collected by the City shall be deposited into a dedicated account. The developer may request reimbursement annually for costs incurred for eligible public improvements, permit fees or to off-set impact fees. However, the reimbursement shall not exceed the lesser of eligible reimbursement items, or the fund balance of taxes collected. Existing Land Uses: Vacant land Surrounding Zones and Land Uses: North: Zoned Planned Area Development PAD 42; Vacant land South: Zoned Pima Co. General Industrial CI-2; Vacant land East: Zoned Pima Co. General Industrial CI-2; Vacant land West: Zoned Heavy Industrial I-2; Vacant land Zoning Translation with Descriptions County Zone Zone Description City Translation Zone Description CI-2 County General Industrial I-2, Including all the uses allowed in CI-2 Heavy Industrial Major Streets and Routes Los Reales Road: Low Volume Arterial, 90’ ROW Major Streets and Routes Los Reales Road: Arterial, MS&R 90’ ROW* *City acknowledges that Los Reales is designated in the County’s Major Streets and Routes Plan for a 90- foot right-of-way width (as compared to the City’s designation for 150-foot right-of-way.) City agrees that the Property and adjacent property to the north are only required to accommodate the County’s 90-foot right-of-way designation. The City shall include in its next Major Streets & Routes Plan update and an Rezoning – Original City Zoning Planning & Development Services Report C15-22-01 Airpark 10 Annexation District Pima County CI-2 to City of Tucson I-2, and Extension of Major Streets and Routes (Ward 5) 3 of 3 amendment to revise the right-of-way width for Los Reales adjacent to the Property to the 90-foot right-ofway width. Planning Considerations – Plan policies are not applied to Original City Zoning. Any future rezoning request of the annexed land must be in conformance with adopted land use plans. Conclusion – Consistent with State Statue and the Unified Development Code, the City translation Zones provided above are the most comparable to the Pima County zones, and do not permit densities and uses greater than those permitted by the county. The application of Arterial Street zone to Los Reales Road extends the zone from the pre-annexation terminus. Translation to the City zones with conditions to reflect pre-annexation and development agreements between City of Tucson and the applicant as recommended, is the appropriate translation from Pima County zoning to City of Tucson zoning. |

| External Reviewers - Pima County Development Services | REVIEW COMPLETED | February 17, 2023 Gabriel Sleighter Entitlements Section Planning and Development Services Department, City of Tucson Tucson, AZ. 85701 Subject: TP-ENT-0223-00014 Sonora Campus Zoning Change Dear Gabe - Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on the City of Tucson zoning change for the approximately 164-acre site located east of S. Swan Road, south of the E. Hermans Road alignment and north of the E. Klafter Road alignment, which was annexed into the City of Tucson in November 2022. The site is a single undeveloped parcel (APN # 140-46-002A) owned by the Tucson Airport Authority. The site is surrounded by property within the city boundary to the north, and undeveloped, aggregate mining, and medium-density rural residential development to the west, south and east, respectively within Pima County. The site was zoned Cl-2 (General Industrial) and there is Cl-2 zoning to the south and west and SH (Suburban Homestead) to the east. The City of Tucson proposes to change the zoning on the site to 1-2, which is relatively equivalent to the county's Cl-2 zoning and appropriate for lands in the vicinity of Tucson International Airport. Pima County Development Services Department, Planning Division, has no opposition to the proposed change in zoning. Sincerely, Mark Holden, AICP Principal Planner Pima County Development Services Department, Planning Division c: Diana Durazo, Senior Advisor, Pima County Administrator's Office |

| External Reviewers - Pima County Wastewater (RWRD) | REVIEW COMPLETED | FROM: Mirela Hromatka, Planner Sr. Planning Unit Technical Services and Engineering Division SUBJECT: TP-ENT-0223-00014 – Sonora Campus Swan From County zoning CI-2 to City zoning I-2 Tax parcel #140-46-002A; 165 acres The Planning Unit of the Pima County Regional Wastewater Reclamation Department (PCRWRD) has reviewed the submitted request and offers the following comments for your use. This is the request for the establishment of the original City of Tucson I-2 zoning on the 165-acre vacant property located on the east side of Swan Rd, approx. 1.3 miles south of the Swan Rd/Los Reales Rd intersection. The property has been annexed to the City. Future use is industrial. The nearest public sewer is approximately one mile to the east in Wilmot Rd., however, connecting to the sewer would require pumping. A gravity option would require an extension of approximately 1.5 miles of sewer in Swan Rd to connect the property to the existing public sewer near Swan Rd/Los Reales Rd. The PCRWRD has no objections to the proposed request for the establishment of the original City zoning district. Should the use of on-site septic disposal system be considered, the applicant/owner must secure approval from the Pima County Department of Environmental Quality to use an on-site sewage disposal system at the time a tentative plat, development plan, or request for a building permit is submitted for review. If connection to a public sewer system is being considered, the following standard wastewater rezoning conditions apply: REZONING CONDITIONS 1. The owner(s) shall not construe any action by Pima County as a commitment to provide sewer service to any new development within the project site until Pima County executes an agreement with the owner(s) to that effect. 2. The owner(s) shall obtain written documentation from the Pima County Regional Wastewater Reclamation Sonora Campus Swan March 1, 2023 TP-ENT-0223-00014 Page 2 of 2 Department (PCRWRD) stating that treatment and conveyance capacity is available for any new development within the proposed project site, no more than 90 days before submitting any tentative plat, development plan, preliminary sewer layout, sewer improvement plan, or request for building permit for review. Should treatment and / or conveyance capacity not be available at that time, the owner(s) shall enter into a written agreement addressing the option of funding, designing and constructing the necessary improvements to Pima County’s public sewerage system at his or her sole expense or cooperatively with other affected parties. All such improvements shall be designed and constructed as directed by the PCRWRD. 3. The owner(s) shall time all new development within the project site to coincide with the availability of treatment and conveyance capacity in the downstream public sewerage system. 4. The owner(s) shall connect all development within the project site to Pima County’s public sewer system at the location and in the manner specified by the PCRWRD in its capacity response letter and as specified by PCRWRD at the time of review of the tentative plat, development plan, preliminary sewer layout, sewer construction plan, or request for building permit. 5. The owner(s) shall fund, design and construct all off-site and on-site sewers necessary to serve the project site, in the manner specified at the time of review of the tentative plat, development plan, preliminary sewer layout, sewer construction plan or request for building permit. 6. The owner(s) shall complete the construction of all necessary public and/or private sewerage facilities as required by all applicable agreements with Pima County, and all applicable regulations, including the Clean Water Act and those promulgated by ADEQ, before treatment and conveyance capacity in the downstream public sewerage system is permanently committed for any new development within the project site.
