BACKGROUND:
The subject property is located on the east mesa of the City of San Luis. It is located in the center of Bienestar Estates 9B Subdivision. Bienestar Estates 9B is a single-family residential subdivision zoned as Medium-High Density Residential (R-2). The property to the east is developed and used as a retention basin for the subdivision.
This property was originally designated as Tract A, usually tracts are intended for public purpose such as parks or retention basins.
The property was rezoned from High Density Residential (R-3) to Medium Density Residential (R1-6) in order to allow the construction of the proposed subdivision (Rezoning Case No. 2018-0115).
The proposed project is to develop the land as single-family residential subdivision consisting of 16 lots of which the minimum size of 6,000 square feet.
GENERAL PLAN:
This area is designated as Neighborhood in the City of San Luis 2020 General Plan. The activities proposed will be consistent with that designation (Chapter 2, Page 19-20). The Neighborhood Land Use Designation allows all types of residential development.

ANALYSIS:
In 2007, the Arizona Legislature adopted legislation that required municipalities to certify that all new subdivisions had an assured 100-year water supply. On February 11, 2011 the City of San Luis was designated by the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) as having a 100-year adequate water supply. Consequently, individual subdivisions do not have to submit additional certification.
SUMMARY:
The applicant has substantially provided the information and materials necessary for review of Final Plat for Bienestar Estates 9C Subdivision.
Review comments were sent out to the applicant’s engineer on December 24, 2018. Staff has not received the revised plans, however, in an effort to be proactive and be more development friendly, staff recommends approval of the final plat for Subdivision Case No. 2018-0633F.
