Raab said the applicant sought an 8‑month continuance at the Council hearing; the continuance request was denied on a 3‑to‑4 vote. On the merits, the council overruled the commission’s denial and “conditionally grant[ed] a building height increase of 36 feet maximum, including conditions 1, 2, and 4,” Raab reported. He said a motion to reduce the approved height to 29 feet was withdrawn and the main motion carried “7 to 0.”

Raab also said a subsequent motion to reconsider the council’s decision failed by a 4‑to‑2 vote.

What was reported is a summary of Town Council action provided to the commission by its council liaison; no Planning and Zoning Commission vote on the matter occurred at the May 6 meeting.","Council member Rob Raab told the Planning and Zoning Commission that the Oro Valley Town Council overruled the commission’s denial of a height increase request for the Oro Valley Church of the Nazarene and conditionally approved a 36‑foot maximum height; motions to change the limit and to reconsider were withdrawn or failed.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6559274,"Oro Valley staff brief Planning & Zoning Commission on 10-year ‘Path Forward’ plan; 30% draft due before June meeting",1411,359000,1770000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3210769-eec8f3fc1719ebe01a2feed5b0788c24&start=359&end=1770","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3210769-eec8f3fc1719ebe01a2feed5b0788c24/thumbnail_359000.jpg","/articles/6559274/Oro-Valley/Pima-County/Arizona/Oro-Valley-staff-brief-Planning-Zoning-Commission-on-10-year-Path-Forward-plan-30-draft-due-before-June-meeting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6559274-3e6ff46e2ac9fa7f53909e9daf7d9e1b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770530155&Signature=ZWlcRT86gvmG3Uy8oMooE6LEkZa26DNab6mBTx5g6O1FOfBl8E9yvjctIKJ8Priy7dQgmFjBEDSMoQeP6PNJseG-VjlNaT-NBtoiwmnTLVciS1sx0D5-KQyxFaLIJH9d~rHKDYd8qEk54v7TWqw7ZdQtdprYy4u0m84NzC0RN~zCT0QQzC7i57FannqDaW3TDYZZQOQsHLqXtm9JgHMcEA0Waexc3eAWl~CDBr9H~OzUaHFqprYO7MRIhOO~rm5FseE--3aymF1ohr4X2-PAfRHhHGGvkdEHvuQ2wnsXrAw2bif2bgzmryJyU7TNKmUY8donTRgr3cCN6zBYSwZLdw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Oro Valley principal planner Malini Seung told the Planning and Zoning Commission on May 6 that town staff will release a 30% draft of the town’s 10‑year plan, called Oro Valley’s Path Forward, ahead of the commission’s June study session.

Seung said the update summarizes work by resident working groups and other outreach that began in October 2023 and continued through Phase I and Phase II of the project. “The purpose of this presentation is to update you all on the resident working group's effort to create Ovi's path forward, which will be the community's next 10 year plan,” Seung said.

Why it matters: the general plan’s land-use map and associated goals guide rezoning, future infrastructure, and policy decisions. Seung told commissioners the plan is intended to represent resident priorities first while incorporating input from business, environment and recreation stakeholders.

Key details presented
- Outreach and participation: staff said Phase I included a statistically projectable phone survey plus 93 pop-up events and an interactive website; staff reported receiving more than 5,000 comments. Phase II involved roughly 107 residents serving on resident working groups.
- Draft products: working groups produced about 30 draft goals, 85 draft policies and 230 draft actions; those items will form the 30% draft to be circulated to working-group members, boards, commissions, stakeholder groups and town council for review.
- Schedule: Seung said the resident working groups will pause after May 13 and the 30% draft will be delivered before the commission’s June study session (staff said the June meeting is tentatively scheduled for June 17). The 60% draft is expected at the end of summer; a broader “You Decide” public phase is planned for the fall.
- Land-use map and boundaries: staff described the land-use map as a policy document (not a grant of property rights) and said the development working group recommended only 10 “housekeeping” parcel-specific changes to better align land-use designations with existing zoning or approved development. Staff said the planning‑area boundary was recommended to be extended south to areas identified in the presentation and to the Marana boundary, and the urban service boundary was adjusted to align with that planning area (Catalina State Park was excluded because infrastructure is not planned there).
- Growth-area changes: the development group recommended adding three growth-area expansions: a Tier 1 area at Thornydale and Tangerine, a Tier 2 area at La Cholla and Tangerine, and extending the Tier 1 designation along Oracle to the planning-area boundary.
- Amendment criteria: the working group suggested tightening amendment-criteria language and making it clear the applicant bears the burden of demonstrating criteria are met; the draft also proposes reviewing general-plan amendments for historical/archaeological impacts and for long-term fiscal impacts to the town. Seung characterized these criteria as draft language that will be refined with further review.

Commission questions and staff responses focused on scope and legal effect. Seung reiterated that a land‑use map change does not itself grant new property rights and that existing zoning remains controlling for development rights; she gave an example where a parcel’s land-use designation was changed to align with existing medium-density zoning.

Next steps: staff will post the meeting link and materials (Seung said the plan materials will be on the project site referenced in the presentation). The commission will review the 30% draft at a June study session and staff expects to return with a 60% draft at the end of summer for broader public review.","Town planners updated the commission on resident working-group input that produced a 30-goal draft framework for Oro Valley's next 10-year general plan; a 30% draft will be circulated to stakeholders before a June study session and a 60% draft is expected at the end of summer.","actionData","errors"]
