09/04/2025 Site Landscape Standard APPROVED The expansion for the outdoor patio and parapet equals 36%. Buildings 10,000 square feet or less that have an expansion of less than 50% in land area, floor area , lot coverage , or vehicular use area do not require site landscape compliance.

Reference UDC 7.6.2. Applicability:

Buildings 10,000 Square Feet or Less
On sites where the gross floor area of the existing building (s) is 10,000 square feet or less, expansions in square footage of land area, floor area , lot coverage , or vehicular use area as follows.
a. If the expansion is less than 50%, the standards of this section apply only to the proposed expansion.
Existing development on the site is subject to the zoning standards in effect at the time the existing development received zoning approval.
b. If the expansion is 50% or greater or if expansions as of February 15, 1991, cumulatively result in a 50% or greater expansion in land area, floor area , lot coverage , or vehicular use area , the standards of this section apply to the entire site.

Location: 2617 N 1ST AV
Review Date: 9/3/2025
Site Engineering Comments:
1. The pedestrian pathway to 1st Ave frontage will be required to be a 4 ft striped pathway
2. The pathway on the northeast portion next to the proposed food truck must maintain a 4 ft obstacle free pedestrian pathway, adjust accordingly as it measures around 3.75 ft with the turn/angle of the proposed food truck.
3. Dimension the doorway that is on the southeast of the proposed patio expansion, as the ADA parking spots are located on the southern half. I would recommend that the ADA parking spots be moved to the northern portion for better ADA pathing if the southern door/entrance is not suitable.
4. The proposed ADA parking spots have a space depth of 15’ 11 ¾” and the required depth for 30 Degree angled parking is 16.4ft. UDC 7.4.6.D A PDMR can be submitted to have this requirement reduced.

2617 N 1st Av Tucson, AZ 85719 (C-3 Zoning)
Development Package Review – 4th Review / Rev #1 to 3rd Review (That was approved)

TRANSMITTAL DATE: September 03, 2025

This site is in the C-3 Commercial Zone (UDC 4.7.22). An alcoholic beverage service is a permitted use in this zone (Table 4.8-4). The land uses in the Commercial Services (except Automotive Service and Repair, Day Care Use; Medical Service, Extended Health Care; Transportation Services, Land Carrier; and Travelers’ Accommodation, Lodging) Industrial, Restricted Adult Activities, and Wholesaling Use Groups shall be conducted entirely within an enclosed building unless modified by Use Specific Standards.

Plan review for the above referenced expansions has been completed. This letter reflects comments to be addressed. For facilitating a shorter back check time, please provide updated plans and calculations with a written response to each of the notated items indicating action taken. Do not cloud the changes made for comment updates; revisions are processed if changes occur after the permit is issued.

SCOPE OF REVIEW:
The scope of this plan review covers zoning, use(s), legal description, adjacent properties, setbacks (building or wall heights), dimensional standards, property permitting history, density (units/lot size), and lot calculation (enclosed building and structure, parking, and driveway versus overall lot size) requirements. All code references are to the Tucson, AZ Unified Development Code. All features were checked only to the extent allowed by the submittals provided. All portions of this project are assumed to meet or will meet other departmental requirements, conditions, and concerns before permit approval.

RESUBMITTAL OF THE FOLLOWING IS REQUIRED:
Correct the following plot (site) plan sheet, as noted in the comments below, along with a DETAILED RESPONSE LETTER indicating responses to the review comments.

PLANS:


1. COMMENT: The existing right of way (ROW) for N First Avenue is a Major Streets and Routes (MS & R) and appears to be 70’-0” +/- but the current ROW is 120’-0” with a recommendation for 105’-0”. Confirm with the Department of Transportation (DTM) and for future ROW line of MS & R with Benjamin.Elias@tucsonaz.gov (520) 508-4321 to avoid locating the proposed patio expansion in required 10’-0” setback area.

2. COMMENT: Per 6.4.5.C.2.a., for nonresidential and multifamily development abutting an arterial or collector street the minimum required street perimeter yard is ten feet, as measured from the existing or future property line as determined by the Major Streets and Routes Plan, whichever is greater. N 1st Avenue is classified as an arterial, thus, graphically depict and label 10’-0” setback from the property line. Again, this may be affected by what is learned after contacting the MS & R (per Comment #1).

3. COMMENT: Per 2-06.4.9.H.2, again, based Comment #1, potentially show future and existing sight visibility triangles. On a designated MS&R street, the sight visibility triangles are based on the MS&R cross-section.

4. COMMENT: Per Section 7-01.0.0 of the UDC Technical Standards Manual, an ADA accessible circulation path that is a minimum of 4’-0” wide is required to connect all areas of development within the site and to any adjacent street frontage and in this case, N First Avenue.

5. COMMENT: Zoning acknowledges the approved decision regarding TD-DEV-0223-00128, Individual Parking Plan (IPP) Request, dated May 24, 2023, where 29 on-site vehicle parking spaces were approved in lieu of the 87 on-site spaces that were required. Per this submitted revision, the applicant is depicting 30 stalls, still meeting the approved 29 stall IPP. The site plan provided doesn’t match the parking lot striping depicted in GIS aerials. Update site plan (and parking numbers in the parking table) to reflect what exists on-site and what is being kept as-is moving forward.

6. COMMENT: Provide related case numbers in lower right-hand corner of all drawing title blocks including TC-DMO-0525-00091, TC-COM-0625-01192 and TZ-PMT-0225-00011.

7. COMMENT: Per keynote 21, sheet C2.0, a separate commercial signage permit will be required to address modification of the existing signage. Contact mark.castro@tucsonaz.gov or georgia.pennington@tucsonaz.gov for any questions about setting up the permit, requirements and/or standards.

8. COMMENT: Per Table 7.4.4-1, Commercial-Food service, 1 parking stall per 100 sq. ft. GFA and outdoor seating areas. 1 space per designated vendor stall for Food Courts which operate solely outdoors. With addition of the food truck (Food Service Use) update parking table to account for this added use.

9. COMMENT: Update title block revision description to include food cart, parking lot, patio and northwest building expansions.

10. COMMENT: Additional comments may be forthcoming on the next review based on responses to Zoning and other the PDSD reviewer comments.
