1. GENERAL - ENGINEER REQUIRED: The Arizona State Board of Technical Registration requires that a professional engineer be engaged for certain types of work. The design of a multifamily structure exceeding 3,000 sq ft does not qualify for exemption under Statute 32-144 , and therefore the seal of a registered architect does not satisfy this requirement. Please submit construction documents that have designed and sealed by a professional engineer licensed in the State of Arizona.

2. GENERAL - CURRENT CODE: The currently adopted building code for the City of Tucson is the 2018 International Building Code. Per the City of Tucson, "Rental units are considered commercial property" and do not qualify for design under the International Residential Code. Before resubmitting, please ensure that construction documents do not have any references to the IRC (Ex: Sheet A1a, Concrete Notes 1, 11 and 16).

3. GENERAL - GEOTECHNICAL REPORT: Please provide a copy of the site-specific geotechnical report for this project. The report should support the appropriateness of the selected foundation system for the project site. All submitted geotechnical reports must be dated no later than five years from the submittal date. Outdated reports must be accompanied by a letter from a qualified geotechnical engineer stating that the report requirements are still valid, or stating what items may have changed. All building code references must be updated to the current code adopted by the City.

4. GENERAL - SPECIAL INSPECTIONS: Please have the Registered Design Professional in Responsible Charge of this project complete and return the City of Tucson Special Inspections Certificate with signatures. The form can be downloaded at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/city-services/planning-developmentservices/documents/special_inspection_certificate.pdf

1. Sheet C1: The code review summary indicates the derating the dwelling unit separation due to a sprinkler system being used. While this is an exception to Section 708.3, however, the exception only applies when a NFPA 13 system is installed. The code summary indicates a NFPA 13D system is being used and thus the exception would not apply.

Provide properly rated dwelling unit separations in accordance with Section 708.3 or provide a NFPA 13 system in accordance with Section 708.3 Exception 2.

2. Sheet A1a: The garage and the dwelling unit is required to be separated appropriately. However, it does not appear that the separation requirements have been met. Provide evidence of compliance to the separation requirements for the garage and dwelling unit in accordance with Section 406.3.

3. Sheet A1b: The garage and the dwelling unit is required to be separated appropriately. However, it does not appear that the separation requirements have been met. Provide evidence of compliance to the separation requirements for the garage and dwelling unit in accordance with Section 406.3.

Electrical Review of Richland Heights Aptmnts
By: Ron Ross PE
E1: Electrical Plan

Electrical Note 17 should be revised to remove “wye-connected” as comment would require a 3 phase panel. Panel is single phase.

Main distribution panel circuits 1 and 3 for the water heater is mislabeled as a 1 pole CB. Wire is undersized for a 40 Amp CB.

Main distribution panel circuits 2, 4 (HVAC unit) and 8, 10 (Range/Oven) are undersized for a 60 Amp CB.

Main distribution panel circuits 31, 33 for the Car Charger wire is undersized for a 40 Amp CB.

200A Main Panel calculation for 4-Ton Heat pump has incorrect units, should be VA or Watts

First Plumbing Review:
1). These are apartments, plumbing code references on plan page P1 need to derive from the IPC 2018

2). Plan page A7 shows Roof parapet, plans need to include roof drainage methods that derive from IPC Chapter 11

11/03/2023 Site Zoning REQUIRES RESUBMIT ZONING REVIEW TRANSMITTAL

FROM: PDSD Zoning Review

PROJECT:
TC-COM-1023-02475 & TC-COM-1023-02476
1937 E. Fort Lowell Rd. – O-3
Multifamily (1st Review)

TRANSMITTAL: November 3, 2023

Please resubmit revised drawings along with a detailed response letter, which states how all Zoning Review Section comments were addressed.

This site is located in the O-3 zone (UDC 4.7.15), Multifamily is an allowed use in the zone (UDC Table 4.8-3).

1. Zoning has reviewed the building plans for compliance with Development Package (DP) TD-DEV-0723-00323 and it appears there maybe perimeter yard setback issues see comment below. Zoning will not be able to approve this building plan until the comment below is addressed and the DP is approved by all review agencies Zoning cannot approve the building plans.

2. Perimeter yard setbacks are based on a wall height measurement from design grade to the highest point of the exterior wall UDC Article 6.4.5.B & Figure 6.4.5-A. As wall height dimensions were not provided from design grade to the highest point of the wall Zoning was not able to verify perimeter yard setbacks.

If you have any questions about this transmittal, please contact Zone1.desk@tucsonaz.gov.
