Goal.
The desired result or the envisioned future, answering the question “What do we strive for?”
Policy.
The direction or path, answering the question “How are we achieving our goals?”
Action.
The specific and measurable steps, answering the question “What steps do we need to take to achieve our goals?”
Each action includes a timeframe for completion and assigns a responsible department within the Town of Oro Valley to lead its implementation. This information is meant to be somewhat flexible, as priorities for each action may shift based on new guidance and resources. More information about the anticipated timeframe is provided at the bottom of this page.
The following is a list of policies and actions that support the goal and long-term vision for the community.
Policy DD.1. Limit 2-3 story apartment communities to targeted sites along major roads that are near commercial areas and significantly distant from single-family residential.
Policy DD.2. Restrict rezoning requests for residential (e.g., apartments) and commercial uses (e.g., senior care or self-storage) to a maximum of 3 stories.
Policy DD.3. Consider additional height requests for highly significant and unique non-residential, employment, or revenue-generating uses (like the hospital, primary employers, or hotels) in areas where topography mitigates view impacts.
Policy DD.4. Create transitions between varying building heights by positioning taller buildings away from existing homes and on lower areas of a site.
The following actions will be implemented on an ongoing basis:
Departments
257
Identify appropriate locations for 2-3 story apartment communities that are:
In proximity to Oracle Road with pedestrian access to shops, services, employment areas, and transportation options.
Separated from existing single-family subdivisions by enhancing setbacks unless a physical barrier exists, such as topography, washes, roadways, etc.
Community and Economic Development (CED)
258
Maintaining existing building height requirements for:
Commercial and tech-park zoning districts
Oracle Road and Tangerine Road scenic corridors
CED
Anticipated Timeframes for Completion:
Ongoing. Actions that are continually maintained.
Annual. Actions that are implemented on a yearly basis.
Short (1-2 years). Actions that have been started or require minimal resources.
Medium (3-6 years). Actions that require additional resources or time to complete.
Long (7-10 years). Actions that require additional guidance, time, and resources to complete.
