Factors Favoring Approval

• Rezoning to TR-36 in areas designated as LDR-1
  achieves a gross density no greater than one
  house per acre and is in substantial conformance
  with the Babocomari Area Plan.
• The housing stock in the county would increase
  through subdivision rather than lot-splitting.
• The TR-36 district is a logical transition from
  the GB to the west and TR-18 to the north to the
  RU-4 to the east.
• As a part of the Countys subdivision process and
  as required by ADOT, the developers of the
  subject parcels must collaborate with other
  developers in providing access improvements that
  result in safe ingress off of and egress onto
  Highway 90.
• The proposed subdivisions would be served by a
  water company (rather than individual wells),
  would be subject to water conservation CCRs, and
  would be required to consume no more water than
  if the zoning remained RU-4.
• The Planning Department received two letters of
  support.

11
Factors Favoring Denial

• Road improvements to accommodate the additional
  traffic generated by the proposed subdivisions
  would be necessary.
• Overall density would increase four times over
  that which would occur under existing zoning.
• The Planning Department received two letters of
  protest.

12
Recommendation

• The Planning Department recommends approval of
  these requests, subject to the following
  conditions
• A subdivision review process will be required,
  all development shall be in substantial
  conformance with the rezoning application, and
  the maximum number of dwelling units will be 28
  (20 Farkas, 8 Hough).
• Prior to any subdivision plat approval, the
  applicants shall commit to a development
  agreement or other acceptable mechanism
  specifying the funding, timing, and
  responsibility for improvements stipulated in the
  TIA.
• Prior to any subdivision plat approval, the
  applicants shall participate in a comprehensive
  hydrology report to address the areas drainage
  and floodplain issues.

Planning Zoning Commission Recommendation
On May 10, 2006, the Planning Zoning
Commission voted 5-3 (Walters, Basner, Guy
opposed) in favor of forwarding a recommendation
of approval of these rezoning requests with the
aforementioned conditions to the Board of
Supervisors.

Recommendation
4. Prior to any subdivision plat approval, the
applicants shall adequately demonstrate in a
revised water budget that, through additional
conservation measures such as storm water capture
and recharge, projected water consumption will
not exceed six acre-feet per year. A reduction in
the number of dwelling units may be necessary to
achieve this goal. 5. All future subdivisions
shall include specific disclosure language in the
general notes and CCRs regarding military
activities in the area as drafted and approved by
Fort Huachuca.
