The request is to rezone all three parcels to the HR zone with the RPO.

Staff recommends the Planning & Zoning Commission forward the request to the City Council with a recommendation approving PZ-24-00224-04, subject to the following five conditions which will be included into the zoning map amendment ordinance:
- The subject property must be developed in accordance with the approved site plan and the conditions of approval dated November 14, 2025, unless modified as provided for in the Lone Tree Ranch Development Agreement. Modifications, other than modifications permitted by the Development Agreement, to the approved site plan will require an amendment to this Direct to Ordinance Zoning Map Amendment request.
- All other requirements of the Zoning Code and other City codes, ordinances and regulations, shall be met by the proposed development.
- All terms, conditions, and restrictions detailed within the Lone Tree Ranch Development Agreement, as amended, must be fully satisfied.
- In the event the property is rezoned and the Developer fails to obtain final Civil Plan approval within two (2) years of the effective date of the rezoning ordinance, then the City may schedule a public hearing before the City Council for the purpose of causing the zoning on the Property to revert to the zoning (including conditions) established in the 1997 rezoning, in accordance with A.R.S. § 9-462.01..
- The approval of this ordinance will have the effect of rescinding the prior rezoning ordinance (Ord. No. 1943) as it relates only to parcels 104-14-003G, 104-14-003H, and 104-14-003J, unless the zoning is reverted as set forth in condition 4 above.
