Thank you, Rudy. There's one public hearing this evening, consideration of proposed conditional use permit, case P-25-38- CUP for the approval of a 300 unit, three-story multifamily residential near the souththeast corner of Idaho Road in Scenic. Take us away, Nick. Thank you, Chair Hansie. Good evening, Planning and Zoning Commission. Again, I'm Nick Luftwitch, senior planner for the development services department of the city of Apache Junction, and I'll be presenting the case information for the Roars 88 North project. So, as was noted, the applicant is requesting a conditional use permit for the approval to construct a 300 unit, three-story multifamily residential development that will utilize the low-income housing tax credit program. Just to note, the conditional use permit itself is preoccupied with the land use questions, while the LITC use or the low-inccome housing tax credit will be primarily a policy question determined by council. To note this, the site is located in the downtown mixeduse section of the general plan. The zoning district of the property is the city center B3 zoning district. It is predominantly surrounded by other B3 properties, but we also see the RM2 multifamily residential zoning district to the south and to the east as well as the single family residential RSGR zoning district to the northeast. It is located within the downtown mixeduse area of the general plan. We find that this proposal is consistent with the general plan land use goals advocating for more multifamily residential uses in order to support the business community downtown as we see that grow. So shown here is a site plan. Again, the 300 units is predominantly a mix of one

to four bedroomedroom apartment or sorry, one to four bedroomedroom unit apartments 2 to three bedrooms. Uh and with that there is a required parking count about 666 parking spaces. They are providing that with 670 parking spaces. So they are meeting all of our parking requirements. They are meeting our landscaping requirements. Their primary entrance is on the south side of the property. Now, it will be primarily accessed off of Idaho through a shared access with a future development the which is still currently under works has not yet been provided to the planning and zoning commission. But the Bella Norte project currently on works in a partnership and they are proposing to have a shared access off of Idaho that would have a deceleration lane but it is outside the scope of of this site plan. There is also a emergency gate and exit. It's a right out only and that's the need for if there's a need for like fire circulation. and if a fire truck needed to get out, get through, it would only really be open for that those purposes. The applicant is also providing plenty of on-site amenities. There's electrical vehicle parking. The 370 of the parking spaces will be covered parking with solar panels. On top of that, there's open space with tots. There's clubhouse, and I'll go into the elevations for that in a little bit. the dog park, open spaces, the community pool. One of the things that staff has worked with the applicant to ensure the provision of is the is a multi-use trail along Idaho, but also along Scenic Street in order to connect with uh as we head further east into the more rural area of the city. Some of the other projects within the downtown mixeduse corps have already been required to have some kind of po or some kind of path for

public usage and this further accommodates that plan and it is available for public use as we'll see on the wall plan coming up. It is located on the outside of the community wall. So, it is something that that Pache Junction residents would be able to pass through in order to get to Idaho in order to enhance the connectivity of our downtown community as is shown here. So, up on the north side is is where this multi-use trail will primarily travel across until it hits Idaho, at which point they'll be continuing that trail. staff have worked with the applicant through multiple revisions of the elevations in order to provide a and ensure a high quality southwestern feel to the development appropriate of our downtown vision. So, it's gone through multiple revisions and we believe that this current um elevations the current elevations presided best exemplify the vision that the city council and and the general plan were aiming for with our our downtown southwestern feel. And this is shown. There's a variety of different elevation types across the different building types. Just variation in the components. And the clubhouse has been designed it in designed in like-minded style. So the applicant has complied with all the necessary public notification requirements. There's the signposting, the newspaper ad, the mailings sent to neighbors within 300 ft of the property lines. The applicant held their neighborhood meeting on July 16th, at which point two individuals attended the neighborhood meeting and they were owners of adjacent properties, specifically the multifamily residential ones, immediately to the east of the subject site. And they expressed support of the project, but they did note some concerns regarding storm water and the low-income housing component. And since

then, staff has received one question regarding the proposed development confirming that the multi-use trail is publicly accessible, which again it is. And so with this planning staff and their analysis of the general plan goals and of this proposal, we support the proposed multif family use at this site as we find it compatible with the goals of the city center zoning district. And we find that it will provide a greater mix of rooftops of of housing downtown which our business community has really spoken up for that they would like more of in order to have a more permanent yearround population in order to support restaurants and all the needs of the community there in. And so we do find that this proposed land use it is harmonious with the concentrated downtown master plan. And so with this staff recommends the approval of P2538 C, the RORS project subject to the conditional use permit findings of fact and the full list of conditions noted within the staff report. The applicant does have a presentation tonight and is available to answer questions and they'll be able to speak more to the uh specific intricacies of operational details or any questions that you may have for them on that part. Mr. Chairman, members of the commission, my name is Greg Davis with Highline Consulting here on behalf of Roars. I appreciate the opportunity to be here tonight and thank staff for their presentation which covers some of what I'll say. So, I'll try to skip over that uh for brevity sake. But uh first I wanted to introduce uh my client which is Roars Companies representing the audience tonight. Um they'll be up available to speak to any kind of

questions that you have that that I can answer. But I wanted to introduce them because they're they're new to uh the city here. They haven't developed here yet, but they have done quite a bit of work in the uh 13 years that they've been open. They've been around since 2012. They're based out of uh Minneapolis in Plymouth, Minnesota. Uh but they've been down here for about 5 years now. And they do all types of development work. They do the entitlement side, which we're here talking about tonight. They'll do construction, and they'll also do property management. And they have quite a bit of experience already built up here in the valley. uh they've done a project that's operational in Buckeye, uh one that's operational in Maricopa, and then several others uh that they're currently working on. And one of the key things that I I find important [music] is that they're they have a long-term ownership. They own each of these properties for 15 years plus. And the reason that's important be is because anytime you build something that you're going to own for 15 years, you always do a better job than if you were just building it to sell it. And so they make sure that whatever they build is going to last long. it's going to be require minimum maintenance over the years. So, as a city or as a community, you can feel better that whatever gets built here is going to be built to the highest standard because they're the ones that are going to have to maintain it for 15 years plus. U so it's important to note when you're looking at uh builders as they come into your community. Nick uh covered the site pretty well. Uh did want to point out that uh we are kind of sandwiched in between two market rate uh sites. One is the Wolf project that you saw uh over the summer, I believe. And then the Bella Nortes uh site to the south which you haven't seen but both of those are market rate apartments. This is an affordable product which makes us a little different and it's actually very complimentary to what they're doing uh which we can help illustrate later with showing of rents. And the reason that these three projects are here is because the town obviously wants to uh develop their downtown core and that golden triangle if you will of building retail. And the more rooftops density you have,

the more that spurs both the development of it, but also the long-term sustainability of those retail uses. And that's why Roars wants to be here. They they feel this is a great site for this specific product. So into the site plan, which we've talked about a little bit, 14 acres is a size, 300 units. So our density is about 22 units per acre. Um the zoning district allows up to 40, so we're well under that. Uh the height limitation is 460 ft. We're building three stories which comes out to be a little less than 40 ft. [music] So, uh we're compliant with that requirement as well. Uh parking covered uh so I'll skip that for now. Um regarding access, we do gain our primary access from the south. That is a shared access point off of Idaho with the Bella Norte project to the south. The other access point off Idaho, which you can see there, it is intended to be a right in right out. So, it'll allow ingress and egress. Um, we have designed it to meet ADOT's requirements as far as spacing and access. It will be a right in right out though because of a median planned in Idaho Road. So, that's the intent for that process right now. Um, pedestrian [music] connectivity is also a very important part, especially when we're talking about downtown urban sites. We have two direct connections out to Idaho and that public use trail there. Uh we have a connection to the south to the Bella Norte project and then the trail that Nick was talking about along the north, we have a direct connection to that as well. So our residents will be able to access it without having to go out to Idaho Road. From a setback standpoint, both landscape and building, we exceed all the requirements. Um we're exceeding all of the building code requirements as far as the setbacks are concerned. And I want to point out the setback along the east side. That's the one property line that we do share with other land owners. And so we did provide an extra 50 ft of building setback in that location. There's nothing that's built immediately right up to our shared property line, but there's a vacant parcel and there's room for those other parcels to grow. So, we just wanted to make sure we were

considerate uh to those uses since our buildings are uh three stories in height. Um the architecture we talked about a little bit. I do want to point out that Ror does a really good job um undulating the roof lines and jogging their footprints. And what that does, it helps break up the massing. Typically, these large three-story buildings can have a very flat, bland [music] face on them. Uh, but by undulating those elements, you really change that. You create a lot of shadow, uh, shade and shadow, which helps give you a 3D element to it. And so, when you're looking from a human perspective, you see a lot of, uh, different lines and elements from the roof. It really breaks up that big building that otherwise could look fairly stark. And Nick mentioned that we've been through a few iterations trying to get the magic clue of what western architecture is. We met with the council and everyone I think had a different opinion of what that might look like. Uh this is kind of what we settled on. What I think the architects drew upon is there's a lot of different elements that feel western. And we may not be able to make a three-story apartment building look western, but we can certainly introduce a lot of those elements to these buildings. So, I've just kind of highlighted a few that show uh that we've incorporated these elements into the buildings so that they carry through and have that flavor. So, we're talking about vertical board and batting, which feels like a barn. We have corrugated steel, which you'd find a a trough out in a field. Uh you have metal standing seam awnings and the use of brick uh because this is an urban area. So, um hopefully we've hit the mark uh close enough in that regard, but we do have three different types of residential buildings that carry those elements all the way through. And here's the third one. The last building which Nick also showed you is our community clubhouse. Uh this holds the leasing office, the meeting has meeting rooms, the fitness center for the residents, etc. Um so talking about open space, uh you know, we do have that community clubhouse, but we also have other areas. We have our primary primary park which is right behind the clubhouse. We have two passive parks on the east side. We also have a a dedicated dog park. And we located the dog park on the west side of

the buildings so that it the noise would be abaded from traveling to the east. Again, trying to be respectful to our neighbors. The primary park, which is you can see a blow up here, is fully amenitized. This project does not skimp on any of the amenities even though it has an affordable component to it. So, it has a full swimming pool, sund deck, change room, romadas, playground for the kids, uh turf areas for cornhole botchi, etc. uh the wall plan which uh Nick u pulled up. I want to point out just one thing. We we try to push our buildings to the perimeter to add interest along the streetscape because we don't like the build projects that have just solid walls along there. So when you have uh you see on the west side along Idaho, you have a a solid blue line and a purple line. The blue line we like we do like solid walls when we're blocking parking views, dumpsters, things like that. But the rest of it where we have our architecture, we like to have view fencing. So as people travel down the street, whether they're driving or on the sidewalk, they have a better streetscape experience. They're looking at architecture, not just a solid 6ft wall. So now I'd like to talk about the litec portion of it, the affordable component. I'm sure you have lots of questions about what that is and uh I probably won't answer all of them as part of this presentation, but like I said, we'd be glad to talk about those in more detail. But you know in general it's a affordability program uh that uses tax credits and all of us are familiar with affordable housing in one sense or another. It's been around since the 60s that I'm aware of. Growing up in the Midwest we had a lot of governmentbuilt uh affordable housing that didn't do do so well didn't fare so well over time. A lot of them had been torn down and then they went to like a voucher program like section 8 etc. And that had problems associated with as well. So now they've evolved into a program that's called LITC section 42 I believe and it started in '86 but was adopted in '93 and what it does is it it actually incentivizes the construction part of it so that it

doesn't have to give money to potential users or to developers directly. It's it offsets the cost of construction um which we can explain in more detail here but basically it uses the federal tax credits to uh ultimately uh re refund the investment of the investors and then the developer commits to a long-term reduced rental rate that's set by HUD. So I'll show that on the next slide here. So, the rates for rent are set by the Department of Housing and Urban Development Hub, and they vary by location, but those are um prescripted by them. So, any project that's part of this program can't dictate their own rents. These are rents that are established by them, and these are the rents that were applicable for this area for 2025. You can see the 1 through four bedroom there. And one thing to note that's pretty important is that this includes all the utilities. So you might say that one bedroom isn't much cheaper than what a market rate is. But when you include the utilities a part of it, it's at least 20 to 30% cheaper than what other market [music] rate housing programs can offer for that product. And that's the real incentive here because that 20% that people save can be used for disposable income, can be used to save money for um um saving up for a house, for another housing opportunity, whatever it may be. or if they're just getting by, they're going to be able to find a market rate lifestyle that's 20 to 30% over what's offered next door. And that's the real value and real incentive of this program. Uh the other side of it is the application and acceptance. Um so again, HUD sets the standard about who can qualify for these programs and they base it upon the 60% of the median income for an area. So again, applied to this area on the screen there, you can see what those income limits are. And they're uh they're stratified by household type as well. And so if you're a a single person

that just out of college and you're struggling, this is the income level that you can have. Two people, three people, four people, etc. So those are the maj general parameters that who can qualify, what you're going to pay for rent. Everything else as far as uh criminal background checks and everything else that a market rate project would look at, this project also does. So it looks and lives just like a a normal market rate project. And that's the benefit to the community is that you get to offer your the citizens in need in your community an opportunity to have housing, but the housing doesn't look different. It doesn't live different. So no one can tell that this is an affordable U housing project. And so that's the real value of this program and that's something that Ror specializes in. So with that I' I'd open up the questions. I'm sure you have some for this LITC.

Thank you. Um I'll start off. I got one question. You say all utilities are included. What are the utilities actually? All right. I'm going to invite someone from up here if you'd like. So I know I'd probably miss one. [clears throat] beach order with Rose. Hey, thank you for having me this evening. So, all utilities would include like electric, gas, water, sewer, trash, um everything that tenants would be responsible for in a margarate internet, cable. So, internet, we provide it. Uh we don't profit from it. We use a third party provider and they can opt into it if they want and they would have to pay them directly, but um we don't cover that for the for the resident. What about cable, TV, or

It would be the same thing as internet. I just want to see what's all included. Yeah, it's mostly just like electric, gas, water, sewer, the I just wanted to make sure for clarification. Yep. [clears throat] Commissioner Star,

uh, as utility rates and climb like electrical and sewer and so forth, uh, are you going to is it is it going to change your rent structure when, uh, when the utility rates in Clearice? it won't. Um, so as as Greg mentioned, the rents are set each year. Um, and then a big part of our project is we utilize solar on on top of all the car ports, which um, with that there's big costs decreases with the electric. Um, and for most of our projects in this one specifically as well, um, basically all utilities are electric. So then the the solar will offset that. So the utility bills won't be as high. Um and it's a big investment on the front end, but over time uh we realize those savings just because solar will uh offset that.

So you're you're saying that the uh the rates are going to change every year based on the changes in the the rental rates are determined by HUD every year, but uh we will not we will always cover the utilities for the tenants. We will never turn back and put it on them. Okay. Commissioner Gage, how often do your tenants have to qualify? Is it an annual income check that they have to go through?

Yep. So, on the on the front end, um when you first qualify, there's a pretty extensive process um application and providing all your bank statements, tax forms, and whatnot, proving you meet the qualifications. And then it is state dependent, but in Arizona, um we usually ask for self-certifications, which we've gotten approval on that in the past where essentially they just need to self-certify each year after they qualify to say they they meet the income threshold. Okay, Commissioner Barker,

I'm still trying to [laughter] wrap my head around this. I I think you answered all the questions that I had on low income tax credits. Um, so everyone in this development rents will meet the maximum maximum income level for their type of dwelling. Um, three bedroomedroom, twobedroom, whatever. Sure. Yes. Okay. Correct. That that was a question that I had. And my other questions are really with the site plan. Go back.

Will the property management live on in the the area or will they be outside it? Yeah, we will not have a property management unit. So, they won't live on site, but typically we hire from from the direct area. Okay. Um, and you talked about the northwest entrance exit. Nick had said that was for emergencies. Is it for emergencies or is it open for folks to go in and out of that?

U, Vice Chair Barker, our intent is that it wouldn't it would be wouldn't be restricted. It would be right in right out. Uh, but it would be allowed for access. That's at least the uh feedback we've gotten so far. But as we get into the final documents, ADOT has to put their final blessing on it. They may change that. It can operate as an emergency only, but we'd like to keep it open just because it allows people to get in and out of gives you another entrance option. And I apologize, Nick, that if we wasn't clear uh to staff, but that's our intent for that. No problem. And I guess my last [music] Thank you for no walls or a few walls. Thank you. No more tunnel.

Our pleasure. [laughter] Um I do have a structural one. On the one drawing it said the parapits I believe were 38T max but what are the peaks

or are you meaning that for the peaks as well? We have our architect here I'm sure would love to answer that question. He came all the way out here from Phoenix. [laughter] So the plans don't call him out that I see it. The question for staff. Do you guys measure building height to the mid ridge or the peak on on Okay. They're working on it. I My guess is that would probably be about 45 ft, right? Center one's much bigger. Yeah. Yeah. I just didn't know if it if you consider that peak a parap part of the parapit

or technically I don't think staff would make that differentiation. If the measurement is building height is to the highest point of the roof then that would be the peak. So our building height isn't 40 ft it's going to be 45 ft. So, I was just curious about moving forward have that on there and yeah, no, I mean we're still with the guidelines, but it that change was probably the last change architecturally, so we were rushing to to get it on there, but uh we'll we'll lock it in there. The building height is allowment is 60 ft. So, we're well under that, but thank you for calling that. Yeah, I just want to know. Oh, great comment. I

I noticed there's no elevators. Uh is there any handicap uh provisions in the complex? Yeah. Yeah, we do have 88 units. So the Arizona Department of Housing requires certain units on [snorts] Excuse me. They're all ground floor units. I understand. [clears throat] Commissioner Mikelin, would do you have any questions?

Yeah, I do. Um I heard him say that during the qualification process they do their paperwork and then did I hear understand that after that they self-certify which they just what exactly does that mean? So, so the self-certification process, uh, we do need approval from the state. So, it's basically, um, filling out a form just saying that they fill out

and that's like an annual ongoing year. And then so um obviously new tenants have to do it each time they they apply. Um but moving forward if the state said no we want full certifications then um they have to go through.

Thank you. How do you handle room loading? I mean, you know, somebody rents a two-bedroom and but they have four people living in it. We we do have restrictions on that. So, you can't buy. So, obviously it depends on the family. Commissioner Mikelin, do you have any more questions?

Um, I don't think so. Although, I will tell you that if he's not speaking into the mic, it's really hard to hear what he said. I I think I heard him say that the self-certification then they fill out paperwork. So, my question would be, does anybody spot check that occasionally? Because I can see um areas for abuse there. Yeah. Sandy, is that good? That's better. Hear that?

Yes. Now I can hear it. I can hear now. So on the self-certification, we do have an in in-house uh compliance department as well. So obviously they would have to renew um if if they choose to renew the lease, uh we start that paperwork 120 days before the lease renews and then it would go back to our in-house compliance team to kind of review all the paperwork. Okay, that answered my question. Thank you.

Any other questions? Just a comment. I appreciate that you've uh managed to fit this development inside the property without having to modify the setbacks. Amen. I don't have to spar with Sydney over set [laughter] this and full parking. Appreciate this. Yeah. And the parking too. See, we have a dog park. We've met setbacks. We don't have a fence all the way around it. I mean, what more could we ask for? Commissioners, I don't want to spar with uh the commissioners ever. I I only spar with Joel. [laughter]

Yeah, I feel that's coming in a few minutes here. [laughter]

All right. Thank you. Thank you. All right. So, this is a public meeting. So, I'm going to open it up to the public at this time. I'm going to remind everybody before I do that you have three minutes. When you come up, please state your name and address into the mic. And at this time, I'm now going to open it. Mr. Chairman, is it okay if I go first? Sure.

Yeah. Good evening. My name is Reese Anderson and for your record, my address is 1744 South Vista. I'm here tonight on behalf of Bellafloor Communities which owns the property just to the south and own is one of the largest land owners in downtown Apache Junction. So they really care about this project, how it looks, it feels, and just on a personal level. I've worked with Roars before on other projects and they're a great company. So we're honored to be partnering with them here this evening. We'd urge your support. We're in full support of it as the adjacent land owner and uh we look forward to working with you on the Bella Norte project which will shortly be in front of you. I'm happy to answer any questions, Mr. Chairman. Thank you for allowing me to speak.

Thank you. My name is [clears throat] Steve and I just said two comments. This morning including many access and the other we have people as I think you guys know Here comes the world. opportunity for us. Thank you. Anyone else like to speak?

Hi there. My name is Jeffrey Fitzwater Castle. Um, I'm a resident of Apache Junction going over 4 years now. I live um just off of Tomahawk Road and Southern Avenue. Uh my address is 1414 East 25th Avenue, apartment number two. Um I am speaking in support of this uh project. Um if you've ever been down in the area that I live in, you can probably see those buildings are well over 40 years old. Many of them are not wellmaintained. Um, it is actually the county island. I will just say that. And they do not maintain our roads whatsoever. So, they're full of potholes and cracks. And I have brothers in high school. Um, I live with my father and my two brothers in high school. And when they come of age, it would be nice to know that there is affordable housing in the community. I think it's very important for the midterm and the long term that projects like these are supported. I'm glad to hear that they have um support for the utilities, especially with the solar being generated on site from the like the covered parking lots. And I think this is just it's good because it keeps people from going and living out in say Mesa or Gilbert or Chandler. And it keeps us having like a good like solid year round community. Especially like I've talked with some of the business owners and like one of the biggest issues is when it's summertime, everybody goes. So, um I I support this project and I appreciate your time. Thank you.

Thank you. Anyone else like to speak? Going once. Going twice. And now close out the public portion. All right. Findings of facts. Yeah, we need to move on to the finding of facts for this one. Do you want to do it? You want me to do it? Okay. You volunteered.

Okay. Okay. the adequacy of roads, off streetet parking, public facilities and services to accommodate the proposed use. I think it has adequate parking. They've actually exceeded our goals. Yes, they have. Yeah, I agree. Number two, negative impacts arising from emissions of odor, dust, gas, noise, lighting, vibration, smoke, heat, or glare. I don't see that any of that is applicable. No. And I think they'll actually in the long term reduce be no more dust coming up off it.

Oh yeah. The dust will come right behind them. Yeah. All right. Uh three contribution to the deterioration of the neighborhood or the negative impact on neighborhood property values as Yeah. No, it'll actually increase. Yeah. Four is compatibility with surrounding areas and structures. No, it's it'll perfect for the downtown. It's what we want. Five, conformance with the general plan and city policies. Yes. Six, screening and buffering of uses. Yes, they're giving you your view fence.

Yes, they are. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Seven. Unique nature of the property, use andor development's physical characteristics. Yes, it does. I think that's applicable. Yeah. So, the finding of facts looks good. It does. I'll read the move.

Go for it. I move the planning and zoning commission recommend to the Apache Junction City Council the approval of the proposed conditional use permit case P-25-38- CUP, a request by Greg Davis of IP Plan Consulting on behalf of Rrowers Companies for a 300 unit 3 uh residential rental community located near the southeast corner of Idaho Road and Scenic Street Zone Center City D-3 subject to 10 the let's see 10 conditions. Second.

Rudy, I have a motion and a second. Can I please get a roll call? Commissioner Mikeland. Um, no. Commissioner Star, yes. Commissioner Gage, yes. Commissioner Barker, yes. Chairman Hanshei. Yes. Four in favor, one against. The motion passes. Mr. Chairman, uh your recommendation will go on to the city council for their final uh decision. Nick, it's going to council on what date.

Thank you, Rudy. Um, there's no old business this evening, no new business. Commissioners don't have anything to report. Rudy, do you have anything to report?

I would just like to say congratulations to our reappointed commissioners. You, Mr. Chairman, you, Vice Chair Barker, and I would like to introduce our newly appointed commissioner, uh, Nicholas Kelly, who will be joining us, uh, for the first time at your meeting in November. I'm not sure if it's the first meeting or the second meeting, but uh we welcome our new commissioner on board. He uh of course is is taking over for uh the commissioner that vacated a seat and uh lots of fun and exciting stuff to come. Congratulations. Congratulations. And to you. Thank you. Here. Do we have a motion for the next meeting?

Mr. Chair, vice chair. I move that the planning and zoning commission hold a regular meeting on November 25th, 2025 at 700 p.m. in the city council chambers located at 300 East Superstition Boulevard. In the event there are no items to be brought forward to the commission, these meetings may be cancelled. Notification of cancellation properly posted and the commission notified by staff. I'll second it. Rudy, I have a motion and a second. Can I get a roll call? Commissioner Star, yes. Commissioner Gage, yes. Vice Chair Barker, yes. Commissioner Chairman Nanchie, yes.

Commissioner Mikeland, yes. So move, Mr. Chairman. Thank you, Rudy. I now adjourn the meeting at 7:41 p.m.
