| Site Engineering | REVIEW COMPLETED | 1. The proposed FLD would require an HOA and first flush retention/detention. First flush retention requirements must be met by the common areas, retention on individual lots do not contribute to retention requirements. 2. Balanced basin detention is required. 3. A SWPPP will be required. 4. Maximize Water Harvesting Commercial Rainwater Harvesting (TSM 4-01.1) 5. Two-way PAAL width minimum 24’ (UDC 7.4.6.D.1). 6. The sidewalk behind the group parking spots is not recommended. Routing the sidewalk around and in front of the parking is safer. 7. Five foot sidewalks are required along roadsides, a TSMR is required to approve a four foot sidewalk. Faffs Riederer faffs.riederer@tucsonaz.gov |

| Site Landscape | REVIEW COMPLETED | PROJECT: CODORIZ DIAZ SUBDIVISION ACTIVITY NO. T22PRE0229 ADDRESS/PARCEL: 940 W 34TH STREET/118-11-0450 ZONING: R-1 TRANSMITTAL DATE: October 27, 2022 This plan has been reviewed for compliance with applicable development criteria in the City of Tucson Unified Development Code (UDC) Administrative Manual (AM) Section 2-11 and Technical Manual (TM) Section for landscape, native plants and water harvesting. General Note - UDC 2-10.4.1 Identification and Descriptive Data - All improvements and site information, such as adjacent rights-of-way and property lines, shown on the landscape plan will be identical in size and location to those shown on the base plan (site plan or tentative plat). Should amendments be required to the base plan through the review process, the same amendments will be made to the landscape plan which will then be resubmitted along with the base plan. 1. To the greatest degree practicable, detention and retention basins within an FLD shall be designed as Functional Open Space by incorporating the Multiple-Use Concepts and Aesthetic Design Guidelines described in Chapter IV of the Stormwater Detention/Retention Manual, the Floodplain Ordinance, and in accordance with UDC Section 7.6.6.C, Stormwater Runoff. Functional Open Space amenities within detention and retention basins may count toward meeting Functional Open Space requirements; and, developed in accordance with Section 7.11, Detention and Retention Basins. UDC 8.7.3.G 2. FLD projects shall comply with Section 7.6, Landscaping and Screening Standards, except as otherwise provided by this section. UDC 8.7.3.H-1 3. Ensure the required number of trees is in all vehicular parking areas (1 tree: 4 parking spaces) per UDC 7.6.4.B.1. Placing trees along the edge of a parking area or at the ends of parking row does not meet the intent of the UDC. All spaces within 40’ of a tree is only one of the requirements. The intent is to provide as much shade on the asphalt as possible, and the requirement is 1 tree per 4 parking spaces; trees are expected to be placed within the parking area itself to provide shade on asphalt. Trees are to be distributed evenly throughout the parking area, UDC 7.6.4.1.B.1, UDC Technical Standards Manual 5-01-.3.2 and UDC 7.6.4.B.1.a. 4. A street landscape border is required on 34th St. Per UDC 7.6.4.C-2 and Table 7.6.4-1 5. One canopy tree is required every 33 linear feet in the landscape border. UDC 7.6.4C-1.a 6. Street landscape borders must be a minimum of 10’ wide as measured from the street property line. UDC 7.6.4.2.a 7. Street landscape borders must be covered with an appropriate inorganic ground cover, such as decomposed granite. UDC 7.6.4.2.d 8. 50% or more of the area of the street landscape border must be covered with shrubs or vegetative ground cover. UDC 7.6.4.e 9. One canopy tree shall be provided every 40 feet of pedestrian circulation systems, excluding crossings with streets , alleys, and driveways . If providing canopy trees every 40 feet is not achievable, the applicant shall: a. Provide the equivalent number of trees that would be obtained using the 40-foot increment measure; and, b. Distribute the trees within the FLD project site along pedestrian circulation systems and within functional open space areas. 10. All landscape plans shall incorporate water conserving design as defined in UDC Section 7.6.6, Use of Water, and as described in the Technical Standards Manual 5.01-5.11. UDC 8.7.3.H-3 11. Commercial Rainwater Harvesting plan is required per UDC Technical Standards Manual – Section 4-01.3.0. and Section 5-01.0.0 Landscaping and Screening. Adherence to the Low Impact Development Standards outlined in Section 5 of the PCRFCD Design Standards for Stormwater Detention and Retention is required and shall work in conjunction with the Commercial Rainwater Harvesting design. Using Low Impact Development design and water harvesting provides critical basin detention and first flush retention for all new development and impervious area. The newly adopted Detention/Retention Manual can be found: https://webcms.pima.gov/UserFiles/Servers/Server_6/File/Government/Flood%20Control/Rules%20and%20Procedures/Stormwater%20Detention-Retention/dssdr-final-201406-manual.pdf With CoT edits to the manual are found at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/pdsd/codes/Detention_Retention_Manual_Tech_Standards_Amemdments.pdf 12. See UDC Section 7.11.1 & 7.11.2 for stormwater retention basin guidelines. If you have any questions about these comments, I can be reached at Matthew.Carlton@tucsonaz.gov |

| TW Hydraulic Modeling Review | REVIEW COMPLETED | Completed 1. Tucson Water’s New Area Development Unit has no objections to the proposed development and offers the following comments for your convenience: 2. The private street must be wide enough to accommodate a public water main, a public sewer main, and other underground utilities, with their associated minimum horizontal distance requirements. For this reason, the Concept I plat map that shows a cul-de-sac and a 32’ wide private street may be the better option than the Concept II plat map that shows a 20’ wide private street. 3. The water mains serving this project must be public water mains, and each single family residence will need to be equipped with its own water meter. 4. The owner/developer will need to construct all on-site and any off-site public water mains necessary to serve this development at his or her own expense. 5. The following requirements will apply to the design and construction of the new public water mains: a. The owner/developer will first need to obtain a Water Availability Letter from Tucson Water verifying this project is within Tucson Water’s service area. Note: This document is required for all projects, even though it may be obvious that the project is within Tucson Water’s service area. It is used in some other development processes, most notably the City Council’s final plat approval process. b. A water master plan showing the proposed water main layout will then need to be prepared for this project. During the water master planning of this project, please plan on looping the new on-site water mains to at least two different points in Tucson Water’s existing water distribution system as required by Section 8-06.4.2.A of Tucson Water’s Design Manual to meet water quality and fire flow requirements or explaining what legal and/or technical reasons prevent such looping. The new public water mains will also need to be located within public or private streets to the maximum extent practicable. Where this is not practicable, the new water mains will need to be centered within public water easements that are a minimum of 15’ wide and lie on smallest number of private parcels possible. c. The local fire department’s fire flow requirement for the building type, the fire hydrants and the fire department’s vehicular access also need to be shown on the water master plan. d. The water master plan must first be submitted to the local Fire Department for review. Upon the local fire department’s acceptance of the water master plan, it may be submitted to Tucson Water’s New Development section for review. e. Upon the Fire Department’s and Tucson Water’s acceptance of the water master plan, a detailed water design plan for the new water mains will need to be submitted to Tucson Water’s New Development section for review and acceptance. The owner of the property will need to enter into a Construction Agreement with Tucson Water regarding the construction of the new water mains before Tucson Water will accept the detailed water design plan. f. Upon Tucson Water’s acceptance of the detailed design plan, the detailed design plan must be submitted to Pima County Development Services Department for an ADEQ Approval To Construct to comply with State of Arizona law. g. Only after all the above tasks have been completed, may the owner/developer schedule a Pre-Construction Meeting with Tucson Water’s Construction section to schedule the start of the new public water main construction. h. The new public water mains will not be accepted into Tucson Waters distribution system for use, and no water meters will be issued, until all new public water easements shown on the detailed construction plan have been recorded. 6. Please note that Tucson Water’s Water Master Plan and detailed Water Design Plan processes are currently not part of the City of Tucson’s Planning and Development Services processes. The Water Master Plan and detailed Water Design Plan are separate submittals that must be made through Tucson Water’s electronic plan portal at https://www.tucsonaz.gov/water/tucson-water-electronic-file-submission. 7. Additional information about Tucson Water’s Water Master Plan and detailed Water Design Plan processes can be found on-line at https://www.tucsonaz.gov/water/contractors-developers-and-engineers. 8. The above comments are based on the limited preliminary information provided by the applicant and should not be construed as a complete review of the proposal.
