| 04/01/2025 | Site Landscape Standard | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | CDRC TRANSMITTAL PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT REVIEWER: CHAD KELLER, RLA SITE LANDSCAPE/NATIVE PLANT PRESERVATION SECTION PROJECT: COMMERCIAL MARAJUANA DISPENSARY SITE ACTIVITY NO: TD-DEV-0225-00051 ADDRESS: 880 E BENSON HY ZONING: C-2 COMMERCIAL ZONE LAND USE: COMMERCIAL 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. Please resubmit revised drawings along with a detailed response letter, which states how all of the Site Landscape/NPPO Section review comments have been addressed. SITE LANDSCAPE/NPPO SECTION COMMENTS: 1. Thank you for submitting a clear and coordinated set of site landscape development plans. 2. Use a slightly heavier line weight for the ROW and property line on the landscape plan sheets. 3. The property line/ROW line is crossing the parking area at the northeast. DTM review and approval is required for the planting, irrigation and WHIA basin(s) located in the ROW. Please reach out to David Marhefka, PLA (david.marhefka@tucsonaz.gov) for review and approval. A letter or email correspondence with David’s approval will be required prior to site landscape approval. I have added Transportation Landscape Review to expedite the review process. Reach out to David directly to coordinate his approval of the ROW landscape. Please allow a few extra days beyond the due date of 4/3/25 for Transportation Landscape review. 4. If WHIA basins are proposed in the ROW/Future ROW, they can not be counted towards the 50% requirement for the Commercial Rainwater Harvesting Ordinance. It is fine to have the basins in the ROW with David’s permission, the SF area numbers should not be part of the plant water demand spreadsheet. 5. Can “OR APPROVED EQUAL” be added to the note with regard to the ¾” screened rock? 6. Call out the parking lot/street landscape border screen wall height and material and provide a detail for the wall on the landscape details sheet. Including the footing because it is directly adjacent to a WHIA basin. Civil note 36 on sheet 4 of 16 calls out some details about the wall but refers to the landscape plans for the rest of the details. 7. A couple of the Dalea Greggii have been accidentally placed in conflict with the 30” screen wall. Revise as necessary. 8. The Benson Hy Street Landscape Border coverage provided is low. Can a few more accents/groundcovers/shrubs be added to get closer to the required SF of vegetative groundcover? 9. The CRWH plan has plenty of detail which is great. Can a general note be added to the CRWH plan that states something along these lines: “if there are discrepancies between the rainwater harvesting plan and the civil grading plan to reach out to both the civil engineer and landscape architect of record for clarification.” 10. A couple of the WHIA basins have some hard angled corners. Can radii be added to those corners so that the contractor doesn’t try to construct the basins with difficult to form corners? 11. Prior to Site Landscape Development Package approval, please make sure Site Zoning, Site Engineering and DTM comments are fully addressed. Thank you.

| 04/21/2025 | External Reviewers - Tucson Airport Authority Standard | REVIEW COMPLETED | March 20, 2025 Planning and Development Services City of Tucson 201 North Stone Avenue Tucson, AZ. 85701 RE: TD-DEV-0225-00051, 1 st Submittal, Benson Highway Dispensary, 880 E Benson Highway, Tucson, AZ. 85713, Received March 12, 2025 To whom this may concern, Thank you for the opportunity to comment on TD-DEV-0225-00051, 1 st Submittal, a development plan for a new marijuana dispensary at 880 E Benson Highway. This development is located in the S.W. quarter of the S.W. quarter of Section 30, Township 14S, Range 14E, of the Gila and Salt River Meridian. The development site occupies parcel number 132-14-024B, covers approximately 0.71 ± acres, and is zoned as Commercial 2 Zone (C-2). The nearest major roadway intersection is East Benson Highway and South Park Avenue, approximately 50 feet to the northeast of the subject development. This site does lie within the Tucson International Airport avigation easement requirements and public disclosure area, FAA traffic pattern airspace, and FAA Part 77 airspace. The Tucson Airport Authority approves the proposed project and is not requiring a resubmittal of this project. Although this project does not propose a change in plan designation or zoning the Tucson Airport Authority highly recommends the applicant add the following notes into the general notes of the revised development plan. This project is located approximately 3.3 miles northwest of Tucson International Airport and is within FAA traffic pattern airspace, an area which would be subject to aircraft overflight and noise due to being in close proximity to Tucson International Airport. The proposed notes would provide a means of assuring that future owners and tenants of the property are aware they are in proximity an airport and further assures the continued right of the City of Tucson, Tucson Airport Authority, and all persons lawfully utilizing the Tucson International Airport the right to utilize the airspace above or near the property. This would be accomplished through the property owner recording the Avigation Easement and providing the Airport Disclosure Statement to the new residents of all residential uses. The Tucson Airport Authority believes the proposed note helps to support the City of Tucson Airport Environs Overlay Zone and supports Plan Tucson – Regional and Global Positioning policy 4 (RG-4). 1."That prior to the City's approval of the proposed development, the property owner must record the Avigation Easement that discloses the existence and operational characteristics of the Tucson International Airport to future owners or tenants of the property and further conveys the right to the public to lawfully use the airspace above the property. The Avigation Easement shall be recorded in a manner with the Pima County recorder which shall document it as having title liability. The content of such documents shall be according to the form and instructions provided.” The current property owner or person authorized to sign on behalf of the current property owner must complete, sign, and record the Avigation Easement. Please record the Avigation Easement with the Pima County Recorder’s Office. Then send a complete copy of the recorded easement document to Tucson Airport Authority by either email (send to srobidoux@flytucson.com) or to the mailing address provided below. Scott Robidoux Manager of Planning Tucson Airport Authority 7250 South Tucson Blvd, Suite 300 Tucson, AZ 85756” 2. Applicable to residential uses only “The property owner/developer/applicant must provide the Airport Disclosure Statement form, at time of sale, to the new property owners with all new unit purchases. In the event the development of any residential uses does not involve the sale of new units but is instead offering rental residential units to the public, the new tenant of the rental unit must be provided a copy of the Airport Disclosure Statement form. The intent of the Airport Disclosure Statement form is to educate and notify the new residents that they are living near an airport. The content of such documents shall be according to the form and instructions provided.” The property owner (for itself or its tenants) shall forward a signed copy of the Airport Disclosure Statement form to the Tucson Airport Authority within ten (10) days of signature, using the Scott Robidoux mailing address provided above. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this comment letter. I can be reached by email at srobidoux@flytucson.com or by telephone at 520- 573-4811. Respectfully, Scott Robidoux, C.M. Manager of Planning |
