Site Engineering Review Comments:
1. Provide the development package case number, TD-DEV-0326-00055, adjacent to the title block on all sheets.
2. Provide the Zoning and Land Use General note: “The developer, any successors and assigns, will hold the City of Tucson, its officers, employees, and agents harmless from any and all claims for damages related to the use of this development as shown hereon, now and in the future, by reason of flooding, flowage, erosion, or damage caused by water, whether surface flood or rainfall.” AM 2-06.4.7.B.1
3. Provide the Zoning and Land Use General Note: “Drainage will remain in its natural state and will not be altered, disturbed, or obstructed other than as shown on this site plan.” AM 2-06.4.7.B.3
4. In compliance with UDC 7.4.6.D.2.b, it will be required that the parking space shown directly south of the storage containers be 10 feet wide minimum. This is because the space is directly next to a barrier over 6-inches in height. This can be adjusted by simply moving the container north to account for the need of 2 feet more spacing.

04/01/2026 Site Zoning Standard REQUIRES RESUBMIT 1. COMMENT: The shipping containers are considered an expansion of gross floor area. Provide a calculation indicating what percentage of expansion the addition of the storage containers are over the pre-existing gross floor area on the site.

2. COMMENT: Provide the gross floor area and height for the existing buildings on site.

3. COMMENT: Provide height of the shipping containers as part of their dimensions on the site plan.

4. COMMENT: A utility easements runs along the north and south of the property line for a width of 5' on each side. Draw, dimension, and label this easement. See subdivision documents at https://maps-and-records.tucsonaz.gov/subdivisions/details/1221 for more information.

5. COMMENT: The minimum required setback for a C-1 property when adjacent to a residentially-zoned property is 1.5 times the structure height. This property abuts an R-2 zoned property immediately to the north and east. The minimum required setback for the shipping containers is 1.5 times their height from the northern and eastern property lines. The structures are currently shown within that required setback area.

You may submit a neighbor waiver form from the three adjacent neighbors to maintain the containers within the setback area. Include the signed waivers on the next submittal. The waiver language to place on the site plan follows:

My Name is __________________ and I am the owner of the property located at
________________________.
I have reviewed the site plan and I have no objection to structure being located or
constructed ______ feet from the property line as depicted on the site plan.
Signature: _____________________________ Date:_________________________________

If waivers cannot be obtained, a Design Development Option (DDO) may be submitted to request a reduction in the minimum required setback distance. For more information about the DDO see the page at https://www.tucsonaz.gov/Departments/Planning-Development-Services/Planning-Zoning-Applications/Zoning-Administration#section-3. Apply for the DDO as a subrecord to this permit. Be aware that a DDO typically adds 6-8 weeks to a permit approval timeline.

6. COMMENT: Per UDC 7.4.6.D.2.b, "A motor vehicle space must have a minimum width of ten feet when the side(s) of the parking space abuts a vertical barrier over six inches in height, other than a vertical support for a carport." The parking space immediately adjacent to the shipping container must be 10' in width, or alternatively, it may be cross-hatched to show that parking is not permitted there. If so, update the parking calculations table to show the loss of the additional parking space.

7. COMMENT: Include the total gross floor area on site as part of the vehicle parking calculations in the table.

8. COMMENT: Confirm measurements and placement of parcel lines. Available information appears to show the southern parcel line to run along the sidewalk, rather than through the parking spaces as shown on the site plan.
