IV. STAFF ANALYSIS
History: This property was annexed as part of the larger Southridge Subdivision development in 2007
(AZ-06-031); a Development Agreement(DA) was approved with the annexation (Inst. #107074205).
An amendment to the DA (Inst. #107074205) was approved in 2008, which replaced the original
agreement(MDA-08-004, Inst. #111102269, recorded on 12115111) but was actually recorded after a
subsequent amendment to the DA associated with RZ-11-002 referenced below but didn't reference
that agreement.
In 2011, an amendment to the original DA (Inst. 107074205) was approved with the rezone (RZ-11-
002) to R-15 that replaced the original DA and separated the subject property into its own DA—this
amendment appears to have "crossed paths"at the same approximate time as the DA associated with
MDA-08-004 and therefore included incorrect reference numbers for the recorded DA it was
replacing. This amendment included a conceptual development plan for the first two of three phases
of a multi family development and was required to be modified prior to development of the third
phase to include an updated concept plan for that area (Inst. #]1]099621, recorded on 1217111).
An amendment to the agreement(Inst. #111099621) was approved in 2015 to change the development
plan for the eastern 3.05 acres of the third phase from multi family to single-family but did not
include a development plan for the remaining portion of Phase 3 (MDA-15-010, Inst. #2015-112096).
An amendment to the existing Development Agreement(DA) (Inst. #2015-112096, Southridge
Apartments—MDA-15-010)is proposed to include a conceptual development plan for the third and
final phase of the multi-family development, as required by the DA. The concept plan also includes
the previously approved first and second phases of development.
The proposed concept plan depicts a total of 14 structures on 8.61 acres of land containing
approximately 164 dwelling units with associated common areas, access driveways and parking for
the third phase of development(see Section VI.B). Two (2) access driveways are proposed via S.
Grand Fork Way, a local street. The third phase continues the design of the first two phases with 3-
story apartment buildings rotated such that no two buildings are parallel to each other or parallel with
a public street, eliminating the"row"effect.Associated parking areas and drive aisles are angled to
eliminate long parking lot views,which also assist in traffic calming. The proposed concept plan
appears to be in general compliance with UDC standards; detailed review will take place with a
subsequent Conditional Use Permit(CUP) application.
A total of 476 dwelling units were approved to develop in the first two phases combined(CUP H-
2017-0077). With the third phase, an overall gross density of 18+/-units on 35.5 acres of land will be
provided for the entire multi-family development, consistent with the density(i.e. 16-25 units/acre)
desired in High Density Residential designated areas in the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan
(TMISAP).
A conditional use permit is required to be submitted for the third phase of the multi-family
development per UDC Table 11-2A-2. At that time, Staff will review the details of the proposed
project for consistency with the dimensional standards of the R-15 zoning district listed in UDC Table
I I-2A-7, specific use standards for multi-family developments in UDC 11-4-3-27 and other
applicable UDC standards. All structures are required to be designed consistent with the design
standards listed in the Architectural Standards Manual.
The Applicant requests condition#5.1.5 in Section 5.1 of the DA,which requires the DA to be
modified prior to development of Phase 3 to include a conceptual development plan for the area,is
removed from the agreement as the condition has been satisfied with this application(see Section
VII.B below).
