See comments regarding proposed borrow pit – basin. b. Section IV of report shall comply with soil engineering recommendations. c. Add to drainage report that a LOMR will be required for issuance of building permits. d.

| 02/12/2026 | Site Zoning Standard | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | 1. COMMENT: The cover page and subsequent sheets (C300 and C301) cite sequence number 20091860172 for Block "B" and Block "C". This sequence number refers to the subdivision plat for the area north of Corte Vista La Mariposa only. In addition, it shows the currently existing parcel lines instead of "blocks". No applications for block plats for these two cites were found. A parcel hold has been placed on one of the subject parcels within the area that prevents issuance of any permits (including this one) until a block plat vacating existing easements is first approved. Contact Fernando Garcia, Lead Planner, Site Zoning at fernando.garcia2@tucsonaz.gov. |
