See below Aerial Map. This application proposes, The Promenade, a master-planned, horizontal mixed-use development integrating high-density residential uses with commercial activities, such as retail, restaurant, office, service, mini-warehouse, and other similar uses. PROPERTY AND CONTEXT The Property was formerly part of Truman Ranch, a once larger ranch property, owned and operated by the Truman family. The Property is vacant, undeveloped with native vegetation. The Property gently slopes from the northwest to southeast. Along the Cotton Lane frontage is an irrigation ditch, along with a compacted-berm, which was designed many years ago for a railway track that ultimately never came to fruition. 5 10957.5.2535900.12 The Property is located approximately one-half mile from the State Route 303 / Waddell Road interchange in an area of the City experiencing new growth and development interest, as signified by Prasada, State Route 303, and other recent development in the area. Bounding the north and east Property lines are Cotton Lane and Waddell Road, respectively, both classified as Major Arterial roadways. Immediate surrounding uses include: to the north, across Waddell Road, farmland zoned Maricopa County Rural-43 and vacant, undeveloped property at the immediate northwest corner of Cotton Lane and Waddell Road zoned PAD for commercial uses; to the east, across Cotton Lane, is Prasada Auto Mall zoned PAD (part of the larger Prasada master-plan); to the south is an undeveloped portion of Truman Ranch zoned for Residential High-Density (RH-15) for up to 15 dwelling units per acre; and to the west is the Truman Ranch homestead zoned Rural Residential and an undeveloped portion of Truman Ranch zoned for up to 9 dwelling units per acre (RM-9) (both not subject to The Promenade PAD). Moving further outward, notable uses include the overall 800-acre Prasada master-plan development to the east, which allows for a wide variety of residential and commercial uses, Luke Air Force Base (“Luke AFB”) located nearly 5-miles to the southeast, and the Sarah Ann Ranch and Sierra Montana residential communities to the west. GENERAL PLAN On July 24, 2008, the Surprise City Council approved a Major General Plan Amendment to the Property 2020 Surprise General Plan in GPA08-019 changing the land use designation on the Property to Mixed-Use (as part of the former development plans for Truman Ranch). In May 2013, the Surprise City Council adopted General Plan 2035, the City’s current General Plan, which designated the Property Neighborhood Character Area land use. The Neighborhood Character 6 10957.5.2535900.12 Area land use covers the largest geographic planning area of the City and can accommodate a variety of uses, such as residential, commercial/retail, employment, service, and other similar uses. The Promenade PAD is consistent with the Neighborhood Character land use designation, as well as furthers many of the goals and policies of General Plan 2035. PERMITTED USES The Promenade allows for a variety of land uses, including high-density residential, commercial/retail, employment, service, and other similar uses. In accordance with the approved Truman Ranch PAD (case no. 08-015), Principally Permitted Uses, Conditionally Permitted Uses, and Permitted Accessory Uses on the Property shall include C-1—Neighborhood Commercial Zone, C-2—Community Commercial Zone, or MU-PD—Mixed-Use Planned Development District as provided in Chapter 125 of the Surprise Municipal Code, in effect at the time of approval of the Truman Ranch PAD. Principally Permitted Uses, Conditionally Permitted Uses, and Permitted Accessory Uses on the Property are provided at Tab A. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL The Promenade is a 44 acre master-planned horizontal mixed-use development integrating high-density residential uses with commercial activities, such as retail, restaurant, office, service, mini-warehouse, and other similar uses. The Promenade PAD encourages development of a mix of residential and commercial uses that complement the Prasada development and transition to neighboring residential uses. The Promenade will advance development along the Cotton Lane corridor, while recognizing the demand for new residential and commercial development that is also compact and pedestrian-oriented. See Tab B— Conceptual Master Site Plan. Development of the Property is planned to include two Development Units, referred to as the Residential Development Unit and the Commercial Development Unit. The Residential Development Unit consists of the south approximate 28 acres of the Property; the Commercial Development Unit consists of the remaining approximately north 16 acres. The Promenade PAD 7 10957.5.2535900.12 encourages a thriving and vibrant master-planned shopping center that is responsive to the market and is supported by adjoining multi-family residences. RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT UNIT The Residential Development Unit is anticipated to be developed as two independent residential communities on the south approximate 28 acres of the Property. These include a 392 unit family-oriented multifamily community and a 221 unit senior living community, both of which are intended to provide affordable and attainable housing. Units within both the family-oriented and senior living communities will offered at 60 percent or less of the Area Median Income (AMI) in compliance with the Department of Housing and Urban Development regulations, as well as Section 42 Low-Income Housing Tax credit program. The communities will be cohesively planned and developed through a specific Site Plan Review application. Family-Oriented Community. The family-oriented community is planned within the “L” shaped, approximately 20 acres paralleling the south and west Property lines, with frontage along Cotton Lane. The family-oriented community will include 392 dwelling units in a series of 3- story buildings. Amenities for the family-oriented community are anticipated to include a clubhouse and fitness center, pool and spa, cabanas, ramada, fire table/pit, tot lot, barbeque, dog park, and/or other active and passive open space areas. On-site amenities are planned to be distributed throughout the community so that they are convenient and accessible to residents. Additionally, on-site landscaping will include

  • Grade 6 Social Studies
    Grade 6 Social Studies: Year-Long Overview To be productive members of society, students must be critical consumers of information they read, hear, and observe and communicate effectively about their ideas. They need to gain knowledge from a wide array of sources and examine and evaluate that information to develop and express an informed opinion, using information gained from the sources and their background knowledge. Students must also make connections between what they learn about the past and the present to understand how and why events happen and people act in certain ways. To accomplish this, students must: 1. Use sources regularly to learn content. 2. Make connections among people, events, and ideas across time and place. 3. Express informed opinions using evidence from sources and outside knowledge. Teachers must create instructional opportunities that delve deeply into content and guide students in developing and supporting claims about social studies concepts. In grade 6, students explore the factors that influence how civilizations develop as well as what contributes to their decline as they learn about early humans and the first permanent settlements, the ancient river valley civilizations, Greek and Roman civilizations, Asian and African civilizations, Medieval Europe, and the Renaissance (aligned to grade 6 GLEs).

    How did Jazz become a ‘high’ art? Adrianna Christmas-Rutledge Arts Management Senior Submitted for SPEA Undergraduate Honors Thesis Presentations Dr. Michael Rushton Director Arts Administration Program Faculty Mentor Christmas-Rutledge 2 Table of Contents Abstract……………………………………………………………………………3 Early Jazz: Popularity and Criticisms……………………………………………..4 The Swing Era……………………………………………………………………..8 Bebop: The Turning Point………………………………………………………...11 Jazz and Politics…………………………………………………………………..13 Jazz in Academia………………………………………………………………….16 Jazz and Governmental Funding………………………………………………….19 Conclusion………………………………………………………………………...22 Current Trends…………………………………………………………………….23 References………………………………………………………………………...25 Christmas-Rutledge 3 Abstract In American society, jazz is held in high regard as an authentic American art form. Currently, jazz programs receive a significant amount of government and private support. However in 1965, when the National Endowment for the Arts was formed, jazz was not funded. How did this popular dance music become viewed as a sophisticated, elite music? This study traces the evolution of jazz into a high art form. The study will examine three factors of this evolution: 1) societal values historically placed on jazz over the years 2) governmental funding of jazz programs and education, and 3) the reasoning behind policy decisions to fund jazz programs. The study will first examine the evolution of jazz as a popular dance medium into a recorded medium. It will also explore the value society has placed on jazz from its peak in the 1930’s, its decline in the 1950’s and 1960’s, and finally its reemergence as a high art form. Secondly, the study will examine the National Endowment for the Arts’ gradual inclusion of jazz education and performance projects. Lastly, the study will analyze data National Endowment for the Arts officials use to justify funding jazz.

  • Early Twentieth-Century Piano Pedaling Literature and Techniques
    THE DAWN OF MODERN PIANO PEDALING: EARLY TWENTIETH-CENTURY PIANO PEDALING LITERATURE AND TECHNIQUES Andrea Marie Keil A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC May 2015 Committee: Mary Natvig, Advisor Eftychia Papanikolaou Robert Satterlee © 2015 Andrea Keil All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Mary Natvig, Advisor Although substantial research has been conducted on piano pedaling as it relates to certain works or composers, the sudden appearance of piano pedaling literature as a widespread pedagogical phenomenon has been given little consideration by scholars. During a relatively short period of time around the turn of the twentieth century, a significant amount of new literature on piano pedaling was written. This thesis focuses on pedaling treatises, articles, and exercises written from the 1890s to the 1930s and considers several important questions, including: what changes in the piano led to the sudden appearance of these sources, what the intended audience for this new literature was, what pedal techniques were being taught, and the forms of pedal notation that emerged from this literature. The appearance of technical literature for piano pedaling corresponds with what is now termed the “golden age” of the piano (because of the increasingly affordable mass produced piano) that reached its peak in 1909. As part of an exploration of the possible impetuses behind the appearance of this literature, the large-scale standardization of pedal mechanisms on modern grand pianos is detailed. I will examine four major treatises on piano pedaling. The first two, representing the beginning of this new pedagogical field in the late nineteenth century, are Hans Schmitt’s The Pedals of the Piano-forte and Alexander Bukhovstev’s Guide to the Proper Use of the Pianoforte Pedals.

  • Changing Social Focussing in the Development of Jazz Music
    Journal of Sociocybernetics ISSN 1607-86667 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Changing Social Focussing in the Development of Jazz Music James Hay1, J David Flynn2 1 Western University 2 King's University College This paper traces the development of jazz musical styles by relating those styles to the organization of jazz musicians and the social context of American society. The authors use a theory developed by Flynn and Hay (2012) derived from chaos and complexity science. The Flynn/Hay theory states that social focussing (chaos, complexity or order: SF) is directly proportional to internal structure (differentiation: D) and inversely related to external information (centrality: C). In mathematical terms: SF = D/C. The authors of this paper describe the social focussing of jazz styles in terms of being chaotic, complex or ordered. They then relate the styles of social focussing to the differentiation of the social system of jazz musicians, and the centrality inputs from the surrounding American society. Their results demonstrating that the style of jazz at each period from the late 19th century to the present era, is dependent upon the ratio of d/c. They conclude that the same analysis could be applied to subsystems of the jazz system, including the development of jazz styles in different geographic regions, as well as within each band and even over the career of each musician, in a kind of fractal effect, where the shape of social focussing is the same at each level. url: Introduction In this paper we will examine the growth and development of the art form, jazz music. We will do this using the differentiation centrality/ (d/c) ratio developed by Flynn and Hay in their book (2012).
