Standard Stipulations

for Preliminary Applications and Design Review Applications

Planning Services Division:

General:

1. The developer shall revise plans incorporating the approved Design Review Committee (DRC)

stipulations prior to submitting construction documents to SRPMIC Engineering and Construction

Services (ECS) Compliance Division.

2. This Preliminary Application Review is based on the current version of the Community Zoning

Ordinance, SRO-467-2015. The Planning Services Division is drafting a new version of the Zoning

Ordinance that is currently projected to be adopted in the fall of 2025, dependent on approval by the

Community Council. All applications received after the new ordinance's adoption will be assessed

according to its provisions. Please note that the comments in this letter may not necessarily be

applicable under the new ordinance. Projects that have received Design Review approval will remain

valid, provided that the application for a construction permit is submitted within two (2) years from the

date of Design Review approval.

3. Underground stormwater storage facilities require approval from the SRPMIC Floodplain

Administrator. Such approval shall occur before a construction permit is issued for the project.

Changes to the site plan as a result of final underground storage facility design may require a

Design Review process.

4. Any substitution of exterior materials shall be approved through a Design Review process. Such

materials include exterior building materials, walkways, pedestrian crosswalks, shade structures, art

work, landscaping, hardscape elements, and any other design related items.

5. If a project requires a cross-access agreement(s), developer shall record agreement with Maricopa

County.

a. First, a draft of the agreement (ex: cross access to adjacent or landlocked property) shall be

submitted to SRPMIC to be reviewed and approved prior to submitting to Maricopa County for

recordation.

b. Once the agreement is approved, it shall be recorded with Maricopa County.

6. Developers are required to document “land rights” for all new utility services in accordance with 25

CFR 169. Should you have any questions, contact Adrianne Smith (ECS Rights of Way Supervisor)

at 480-362-5489 or Aaronn Mattingly (ECS Design Division Manager) at 480-362-5708.

“executed” between the various utility providers (e.g. SRP, Saddleback, SW Gas, etc.) and

Revised 10/28/2025

Page 1

the Authorized Occupant and “filed” with the Bureau of Indian Affairs through the

Community’s ROW Section and should never cross master lease boundaries.

b. Developers are authorized to coordinate with the utility providers directly to obtain “will serve”

letters and to begin the design process; however, they should realize that no utility provider

will “energize” without the land rights being properly executed and filed with the Community.

c. All wet and dry utilities shall be shown on the construction documents prior to a construction

permit being issued by the SRPMIC Engineering and Construction Services (ECS)

Compliance Division. If not, a separate permit application will be required. Any customerprovided trench (CUPT) must be shown on the Civil Plan or Utility Plan, and shall include

trench details, sleeve diameter, backfill requirements, etc. The utility provider (e.g. Salt River

Project, SW Gas, Saddleback, etc.) will be required to submit their own permit application to

tie-into the public right-of-way, set meter(s), and energize.

d. In coordination with the utility providers, the Developer may be required to provide a map of

definite location. Said legal plat must show the boundary of the allotted or tribal parcel(s), the

master lease boundary, point of connection at the nearest distribution line, the new point of

delivery, and the as-built alignment of the new electric, tele/data, and/or natural gas service

lines using survey precision (bearing and distance callouts).

7. All new projects require a project address. To obtain an address, contact the assigned project

planner. You will be asked to submit a site plan with building the footprints. The Site plan shall be

submitted in both PDF and a georeferenced, AutoCAD (.DWG) file formats. The .DWG file shall be

Cultural

15. Development should be designed with careful consideration of the Community’s physical context and

shall incorporate aspects of the Community’s cultural values into the design principles and

characteristics as illustrated in the Design Standards and Guidelines (Article 6.4). For example,

consider integrating the lower Sonoran vegetation (i.e. saguaro, chollas, ocotillo, etc.); mountains (i.e.

Revised 10/28/2025

Page 3

color, shape), rivers and arroyo’s (i.e. water, sedimentation, rocks, shape); animals (i.e. coyotes,

eagles, desert hares); traditional art (i.e. Pima basketry, Maricopa pottery); and traditional

practices/methods (i.e. outdoor living/gathering, farming). Apply the following design elements into

the development’s design for optimal cultural expression and representation:

a. Take solar conditions into consideration when designing buildings. Provide shading on all

east, south and west facing windows. For example, a combination of shade canopies,

recessed windows, building fins, pop outs, large overhangs, and other building design

elements may be used. The shading over windows and building entries should be a

significant design element of the buildings. Consider placing outdoor seating, entrances and

windows on north side of buildings and minimizing these on other elevations. Consider

applying shade devices that resemble historic Pima and/or Maricopa shade structures and

have an organic appearance (e.g., irregular placement or sizing of beams/posts.

b. Design entry areas with a welcoming sense of entry. Create this through human scaled, wellshaded entries, attractive landscaping, seating, art, etc. Pay particular attention to

landscaping, pedestrian amenities, shaded entry features, etc.

c. Colors should be earthen tone with an incorporation of various textures, accents, colors and

materials. Introduction of new colors is strongly encouraged, and shall be complementary to

earthen color palette.

d. Building materials should incorporate various textures. Generally, textured materials are

preferred over smooth and natural materials are preferred over engineered.

e. Building exteriors may resemble exteriors of historical Pima and/or Maricopa structures,

environmental elements and geographic/land forms. Historic structures were typically very

organic in form and simple. This may be achieved through application of organic, rough and

earthen textures to exterior. Smooth and sharp edges and planes are not encouraged.

f. Shading devices may resemble historic Pima and/or Maricopa shade structures. Designs

shall be more organic in form whether attached above windows or ground structures (i.e.

offset the overhead beams shall be narrow spaced for function, irregular placement and

shape of beams and posts for natural appearance, and appropriate natural color and

textures).

g. You may incorporate use of Pima basketry or Maricopa pottery onto the exterior elevation.

Incorporation of these elements shall be done in a subtle, respectful, architectural and artistic

application. Elements shall not be stamped on.

h. Large-scale buildings should incorporate all of these principles into the building expression.

Design shall also pay particular attention to using any cultural design element to break up an

expansive wall plane and minimizing the appearance of the building.

i. Suggest incorporating cultural hardscape features (i.e. stamping or pavement design/color) at

building entry area and outdoor patio area. Materials are to be compliant with the American

with Disabilities Act (ADA).

j. The Design Review application requires submittal of a ‘Cultural Board’. This is an exhibit that

explicitly illustrates what cultural elements have been included in development design, the

meaning of them and the inspiration behind them.

16. The owner, authorized representative and/or Marketing Division of the company that will occupy the

building/project must contact the Community Development Department, Discover Salt River Division

at 480-362-6925 or by emailing Maleena.Deer@SRPMIC-nsn.gov to get information about the

Community’s commercial development areas. Provide the date, means of contact, and who you

contacted at Discover Salt River with the Design Review application submittal.
