SUGGESTED MOTION No motion necessary. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This study session will inform the Commission and Council on the results of the public outreach effort for the residential zones code amendment. The amendment serves to streamline the residential zones and to implement specific action items from the housing strategy. STRATEGIC PLAN ☐ Economic Expansion & Placemaking ☐ Outreach & Communication ☐ Infrastructure ☐ Highly Performing Organization ☐ Community Well-being ☐ Other GOALS/OTHER: FINANCIAL / BUDGET SUMMARY DISCUSSION BACKGROUND: The Planning and Zoning Division has been working on an amendment to the Residential Zones with three main goals: to simplify the code, better reflect the Town’s character, and provide for newer trends in residential development. The current rural and residential zone chapters of the zoning code have remained largely untouched since the Town adopted the Pima County code in 1994. On September 26, 2022, the Town Council held a Study Session, and staff presented the draft amendment and the public engagement plan for the project. The study session served as the kickoff event for community outreach.  Town Council Agenda Communication CHANGES MADE TO THE DRAFT SINCE SEPTEMBER: Based on the feedback we received during the initial study session, and the community outreach phase, staff has made some changes to the version provided to you at the September 26, 2022, study session. Those changes include the following: • Removal of casitas from the draft, leaving only accessory dwelling units (ADU). The draft presented at the study session distinguished casitas as accessory sleeping areas without a kitchen and ADUs as accessory dwelling units with a kitchen. The current draft includes only ADUs, thereby not making a distinction based on the presence of a kitchen. • Added a requirement for ADUs to include one off-street parking space to address parking concerns. This is something that the staff would like to get Council’s feedback on. Residents expressed concern about specific neighborhoods already having limited on-street parking and the possibility that ADUs could bring even more vehicles to their neighborhoods. Providing additional parking for an ADU can be difficult due to lot constraints and the added cost. While some ADUs may bring additional vehicles to a neighborhood (such as an adult child living in an ADU), others may not (such as an elderly or disabled family member who cannot drive). Requiring an extra parking space for an ADU is typically one of the most significant barriers to their construction. Housing advocates and model ADU codes, including AARP’s model code, recommend not requiring additional parking spaces for ADUs. The Council may want to consider an exemption from the parking requirement in certain circumstances, such as on the street with wider lots and on-street parking available on both sides of the street. • Addition of a development standards table for ADUs. • Changed ADUs from a conditional use to a permitted by-right use in the R-2 and R-3 zones. • Updated the permitted use table to address inconsistencies wherein certain uses were permitted, and other less intense uses were not permitted. One issue discussed at the September 26 Study Session was the requirement for a 100-foot setback for tiny homes on wheels. Staff did not make any changes to this proposed requirement because the tiny homes on wheels were a concern brought up by residents consistently at our public meetings. Residents wanted to see additional regulations on tiny homes. Since we do not have residential design standards, staff felt the increased setback would help alleviate some of that concern. Additional minor changes to the draft regulations were made by staff to improve the new regulations. These changes include: • Permitting commercial kennels and veterinarians with large properties to have outdoor dog runs with large setbacks. • Removing the one-story height requirement for substance abuse treatment facilities due to the large acreage and 100-foot setback requirements.  Town Council Agenda Communication THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT: This amendment affects 16 different chapters of the zoning code, including the 13 rural and residential zones, the General Residential and Rural Zoning Provisions, General Definitions, and General Regulations and Exceptions. This amendment has three main goals: 1) code simplification, 2) better reflect town character, and 3) provide for newer trends in residential development. Goal 1: Code Simplification To address the first goal of simplifying the code for the user, the staff recommends several code changes. The major changes include the following: • Combine the 13 residential zone chapters into one residential zone chapter. • Create one table of uses for all the residential zones. The permitted uses are listed separately by zone in that individual zoning code section in the current code. The new table lists permitted and conditional uses in one location. • Three zones that were listed in the zoning code but did not exist anywhere in the Town have been eliminated from the code. This includes the Suburban Ranch Estate Zone (SR-2), Manufactured and Mobile Home-1 Zone (MH-1), and the Manufactured and Mobile Home 2 Zone (MH-2). • Create a new Manufactured Home Zone (MH) to replace the Trailer Homesite zone (TH). The properties that are currently zoned TH will now have a MH designation. The reason for this change is to give it a more appropriate name for the type of housing permitted in that zone. The regulations will mostly remain the same while also allowing tiny home villages within the MH zone. • Create a Development Standard table for main buildings, multi-family structures, accessory structures, and ADUs. The new table will provide information on setbacks, maximum building height, etc. The current code lists the information for each zone separately within each code chapter. • Create a uniform standard for lot coverages for accessory structures. The current code has different methods for measuring lot coverage, for accessory structures, depending on the property’s zoning, with some methods being more difficult to calculate. In the new code, all the residential zones will use a percentage of the overall lot size. • Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) replaces guest houses, secondary dwellings, and rear dwellings. In the current code, the three options have different regulations and are only allowed in certain residential zones. For example, secondary dwellings are permitted only in RH and GR-1, and guest houses are allowed in any residential zone if the lot size exceeds 16,000 square feet. These different options confuse homeowners looking to build an accessory dwelling unit on their property. The proposed change under the new code would permit ADUs in most residential zones, and the development standards for the ADUs are provided in one table.  Town Council Agenda Communication Goal 2: Town Character To better reflect the Town’s character, the amendment eliminates some permitted uses that are incompatible with Sahuarita’s character as a growing suburban community. Because the Town code was adopted initially from Pima County, some permitted uses are better suited for rural areas as opposed to the more suburban character of Sahuarita. Therefore, staff has removed uses incompatible with the Town of Sahuarita, including hog ranch, animal racetrack, airstrips, and commercial feedlots. The removal of hog ranch from the residential zones does not affect the currently allowed backyard hog raising, such as for 4-H projects. However, it eliminates the commercial-scale hog ranches incompatible with a growing community. Goal 3: Residential Development Trends The third goal of the amendment is to provide for newer trends in residential development, including housing products that are more likely to support workforce housing. The Town conducted a housing study in 2020, which identified a need to increase workforce and affordable housing. A housing strategy was developed in 2021 to encourage workforce housing. To help meet those goals, staff has identified new trends, including small lot subdivisions, accessory dwelling units, single-family build-for-rent communities, and tiny homes. Recent trends and highlights of the proposed changes are provided below. Single-family build-for-rent communities • The definition of multi-family dwelling was changed to include communities made up of detached homes on a single, large property/parcel. These communities are run similarly to an apartment complex and are often referred to as single-family build-for-rent or horizontal multi- family communities. Small lot subdivisions • To allow small lot subdivisions to be built in the Town, the minimum lot size for single-family homes in the R-4 and R-5 zones was reduced to match the current density for duplex and multi- family homes. This change does not increase the density allowed in the zones because the same number of dwelling units per acre could be achieved through multi-family housing under the current code. It would, however, allow for small lot residential homes that currently could not be built with the minimum lot sizes. Townhomes can be very costly to build because residential construction that has more than three attached units must be built to commercial building standards rather than residential building code standards. Permitting small, detached homes on small lots can help fill a critical niche for households in the workforce housing bracket. The table below compares the current and proposed changes to the R-4 and R-5 sections of the code. R-4 R-5 Current Proposed Current Proposed Minimum Lot Size for a single 7000 3500 6000 2000  Town Council Agenda Communication detached unit (sq. ft.) Avg. area per home duplex or 3500 3500 2000 2000 multi-family (sq. ft.) • ADUs: The zoning code currently allows for Guest Houses, Secondary Dwellings, and Rear Dwellings. Guest houses are presently the most used type of accessory dwellings because they are permitted in any residential zone where the lot size exceeds 16,000 square feet. Several restrictions apply to the guest houses, including limiting them to 45% of the size of the main house and restricting them from having full kitchens except in the case of an ill or elderly relative. The new proposed ADU regulations would allow the structure to be a maximum of 1,000 square feet and would allow for full kitchens. These regulations will allow for the ADUs as a source of workforce or multi-generational housing while also providing homeowners with a supplemental source of income. Under the proposed code, ADUs will be restricted to one per lot, like the current guest house regulations. The Attachment 2 table compares Current Allowed Uses with Proposed ADUs. Tiny Homes • Regulations for tiny homes have been added to the code. The new code distinguishes tiny homes based on the type of construction and whether they are serving as a main home or an ADU. The code identifies three distinct types of construction: stick-built, pre-manufactured, where the wheels are removed, and pre-manufactured tiny homes on wheels. o Main homes: Under the new code, stick-built tiny homes are permitted in any residential zone when serving as the main house. The other two categories are permitted as main homes in the zones where manufactured homes are permitted. If the tiny home is to be on wheels, there is a 100’ setback from any property line. o ADUs: Tiny homes are permitted as ADUs in any of the zones where ADUs are allowed. In the R-1 and R-2 zones, tiny homes on wheels will require an approved Type I Conditional Use permit and must be located behind an opaque wall in the rear of the main house. The current zoning code does not address tiny homes. They are not prohibited by zoning and would be handled based on their type of construction; however, the residential building code does not currently allow for tiny homes. Therefore, the tiny home appendix to the International Residential Code would have to be adopted before tiny homes could be built in Sahuarita. This adoption is on the Building Safety work plan for this fiscal year. Community Outreach and Comment: Staff began industry outreach in August with presentations to the Better Together Steering Committee, Metropolitan Pima Alliance (MPA), and the Southern Arizona Home Builders Association (SAHBA) Technical Committee. In addition, information on the amendment was included in the MPA newsletter, and staff emailed the amendment to development industry contacts, allowing them to review the draft.  Town Council Agenda Communication Following the Council Study Session on September 26, 2022, staff began the public outreach phase. We held a virtual public meeting on October 11th, followed by an in-person public meeting in the Council Chambers on October 19th. Unfortunately, the attendance at both of those meetings was low. Due to the low attendance, staff decided to host pop-up meetings at some Town Parks. We held four pop-up meetings, with three at Anamax Park and one at Parque Los Arroyos. The parks were selected because they are near the areas of Town that will be impacted the most by this amendment. The pop-up meetings were well attended, and the feedback was generally positive. The pop-up meetings allowed us to meet with and provide information on the amendment to 45 residents. Staff was also part of the information booth at Winterfest from 12 P.M. to 4:00 P.M. handing out information on the amendment. As a result, 35 project information cards were handed out at that event. Overall, the feedback received from the public and during the industry outreach was generally positive. However, there were some concerns from members of the public regarding tiny homes and especially tiny homes on wheels and tiny home communities. Residents felt that there should be more regulation if these uses were allowed. Another area of concern was parking for ADUs. Residents felt that parking is already an issue in some areas and that additional cars with ADUs would create more of a problem. Staff has incorporated the feedback we received from Town Council at the initial study session, feedback received from the public, and the industry outreach into the current draft amendment.

Presentation to Better Together Steering Committee: • Staff presented the draft amendment and its relationship to the 2020 Housing Study commissioned by the Town of Sahuarita as well as the 2021 Workforce Housing Strategy prepared by Planning & Zoning staff. • Comments were positive. o The group likes the simplification of the code. o Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) help provide attainable housing to their residents as well as secondary income for the property owner. o Accessory Dwelling Units allow private residents to play a role in providing workforce housing. • The group recommended that staff research the cost of building/buying an ADU. 2. Presentation to MPA Public Policy Committee: • One attendee requested a copy of the amendment. • Staff noted that the amendment will be posted on our website. A link will be sent to MPA to publish in their upcoming newsletter.  • Another attendee commented that he was looking forward to seeing how the amendment turns out. He likes that we considered a variety of housing products, including ADUs and rental communities. • MPA appreciates the collaborative approach to the amendment process. 3. Presentation to SAHBA Technical Committee: • Staff noted that the amendment is posted on our website. • Attendees had questions about tiny homes, i. Why do tiny homes on wheels have a 100’ setback? ii. Isn’t a tiny home on wheels the same as a camper? iii. Can an RV be used as a main house? What about a guest who brings an RV? • A representative from KB Home requested that the minimum lot size in the R-5 zone be reduced to 1,800 square feet from 2,000. They have a 12 RAC product that uses 1,800 sq. ft. lots. • One attendee suggested incentives for providing higher density. 4. Town Council Study Session: • Several Council members appreciate the emphasis on housing products with lower price points. • There was lengthy discussion of kitchen vs. no kitchen in ADUs / casitas. • One Council member mentioned concern about maintaining neighborhood character. Neighborhood dynamics change if there are many ADUs that are rented out or become short-term rentals. • Fire safety in ADUs was discussed. • Staff will provide additional visuals for community open houses and the follow-up study session. 5. Virtual Public Informational Meeting: • One attendee asked if the recording of the presentation would be available online. Staff stated that it would be placed on the project website. 6. Anamax Park Meeting: • Generally supportive of the amendment and wanted to make sure it did not impact what they wanted to do with their property. 7. Parque Los Arroyos Meeting • One attendee expressed concern with the renting out of Accessory Dwelling Units. • Multiple attendees were supportive of the overall goals of the amendment. • One attendee wanted to make sure this would not impact 4H animal raising. 8. Anamax Park Meeting: • One resident said that we should not allow tiny homes on wheels and that we would need to have additional regulations on tiny homes if they are allowed.  9. Anamax Park Meeting: • Attendees expressed concerns over parking with the addition of ADUs. Expressed that parking is already an issue on a number of streets. • Expressed some concerns with the impact of a tiny home next door as the main house on the property value of their house. • Expressed some concern with allowing additional density into the area through ADUs. • Some attendees had no concerns with the amendment. 10. Winterfest: • Handed out cards with project information to attendees and let them know that we are looking for their feedback on the proposal. Only feedback received at the event was from one resident who said keep Sahuarita small.  Study Session: Residential Zones Code Text Amendment February 27, 2023 Amendment Goals • Simplify the Residential Zones • Better reflect the character of Sahuarita • Pima County code adopted in 1994 – residential zones largely untouched • Provide for newer trends in Residential Development • Implement action items from Sahuarita’s Workforce Housing Strategy Study Session Purpose • Inform the Commission, Council, and Public of the results of the public outreach process and present the highlights of the draft amendment. • Collect feedback from the Commission and Council prior to bringing the draft amendment to P&Z and T.C. for a public hearing. Outreach Timeline • Started industry outreach in August • Presentations to Better Together Committee, MPA, and SAHBA. • A project page was established on the Planning and Building website. • Sent out draft to members of the Development Community. • Town Council Study Session held September 26, 2022 • Virtual public meeting held October 11 • In-person public meeting held October 19 Outreach Timeline continued. • November 8 - December 8, series of 4 pop-up meetings at Town parks • December 17, Winterfest information booth handing out information on the amendment Outreach results • In-person and virtual meetings had very low attendance. • Pop-up meetings were well-attended - 45 residents. • Winterfest - distributed 35 project information cards. • People were generally supportive of the amendment. • Most common concerns were tiny homes and parking related to ADUs. Goal 1: Simplifying the Code • Creates one residential zones chapter • Creates one table of uses • Eliminates unused zones (SR- 2, MH-1 and MH-2) • Creates a new MH zone while eliminating the TH Zone Simplifying the Code, continued • Creates Development Standards tables for main buildings, multi- family structures, and accessory structures • Uniform standards for lot coverage for accessory structures • Replaces guest houses, rear dwellings and secondary dwellings with Accessory Dwelling Units  Goal 2: Better reflect Sahuarita’s character • Some uses are better suited for more rural areas • Eliminates incompatible uses, including: • Hog Ranch • Animal Racetrack • Airstrips • Commercial Feedlot Goal 3: Newer Trends in Residential Development • Accessory Dwelling Units • Identified by multiple sources as one of the best ways to bring additional housing to the community with minimal impact • “Gentle density” • Single-family build-for-rent communities • Tiny Homes • Small-lot subdivisions Clarify ADUs and Allow in Larger Lot Zones The Current code has 3 types of accessory dwellings.
