| 05/12/2026 | Site Landscape Standard | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT REVIEWER: CHAD KELLER, PLA SITE LANDSCAPE/NATIVE PLANT PRESERVATION SECTION PROJECT: COSTCO WHOLESALE IS REQUESTING APPROVAL OF A DEVELOPMENT PACKAGE TO RELOCATE ITS FUEL FACILITY FROM THE CURRENT CITY PARCEL TO THE ADJACENT COUNTY PARCEL ACTIVITY NO: TD-DEV-0326-00074 ASSOCIATED PRE-APPLICATION NO: TP-PRE-1225-00265 ADDRESS: 6255 E GRANT RD ZONING: COMMERCIAL ZONE (C-2) LAND USE: COMMERCIAL FUEL 5.12.2026 THE PROPOSED PLANS HAVE BEEN REVIEWED FOR COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR SITE LANDSCAPE, NATIVE PLANTS, AND RAINWATER HARVESTING, PER-THE-CITY OF TUCSON UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE (UDC), TECHNICAL STANDARDS MANUAL (TSM), AND ADMINISTRATIVE MANUAL (AM). RESUBMIT REVISED DRAWINGS ALONG WITH A DETAILED RESPONSE LETTER, STATING HOW ALL SITE LANDSCAPE AND NPPO SECTION REVIEW COMMENTS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED. SITE LANDSCAPE/NPPO SECTION COMMENTS: 1. It appears that most of the existing asphalt is being removed with this parking lot renovation. With that being said, the grading plan indicates proposed grades that are working toward the tree planting areas. Please provide a commercial rainwater harvesting plan and calculations for the new parking area. The interior planting area for the trees should be set at a depth of 6 inches from the top of screen rock to the flow line of the curb cut inlet/outlet. If an example commercial rainwater harvesting plan set is needed for reference, or if a separate meeting is needed for guidance, please reach out and we can schedule a working meeting on MS Teams. *If a copy of the plant water use table/spreadsheet is needed, please reach out and I can email a copy for your use. *If the existing curb north of the existing street landscape border along E Grant is being removed and it is possible to depress portions of the border to be included with the overall commercial rainwater harvesting plan, that would be ideal. It is understood that there are existing plants being utilized in this area to meet the standards, with that being said do the best that you can to depress areas around new plant material and provide curb cuts. 2. As part of the Commercial Rainwater Harvesting Ordinance, a separate irrigation water meter is required. Please label irrigation meter as “irrigation only”. See TSM 4-01.6.0. Or see City of Tucson Ordinance 10597 -- Sec. 6-182. Rainwater Harvesting Plan: Number 3 (a) A separate water meter connected to the main water supply; or (b) An irrigation sub-meter. 3. Include calculations for parking lot trees required and provided. 4. Include a calculation that states the required trees and vegetative ground cover required and provided for the E Grant street landscape border. 5. In the planter islands, please make sure all of the mature heights of the shrubs are 30 inches or less for sight visibility and pedestrian safety within the parking area. 6. Prior to site landscape approval, ensure that Site Zoning and Site Engineering comments are fully addressed. 7. Include the Activity Number TD-DEV-0326-00074 on all sheets in the plan set. Thank you.

| 05/11/2026 | Site Zoning Standard | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | 1. COMMENT: The project narrative states "Per current code requirements, five percent (5%) of the 104 new parking spaces must include Level 2 Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) and an additional ten percent (10%) must be EV-capable, resulting in six (6) EVSE spaces and eleven (11) EV-capable spaces. Of the required EV charging spaces, four percent (4%), but not less than one (1) space, must meet accessible design standards, resulting in two (2) accessible EV charging spaces. The EVSE requirement may alternatively be satisfied with two (2) Level 3 charging stations, as each Level 3 charger counts as three (3) Level 2 EVSE spaces. The project will provide 2 EVSE spaces and 4 EV capable spaces." Please add the EVSE required and provided information to the parking calculations table on Sheet 1 and show the new EVSE spaces by type on the site plan. Confirm that the two EVSE spaces provided are Level 3. 2. COMMENT: See Site Engineering comments. Contact Fernando Garcia, Lead Planner, Site Zoning at fernando.garcia2@tucsonaz.gov. |

| 04/28/2026 | Traffic Engineering Review Standard | REVIEW COMPLETED | Costco development at Grant & Wilmot (relocating fueling station to NE corner). Comments: - Technical Standards Modifications Request (TSMR) – mentions using the existing crosswalk. We assume it’s the crosswalk at the signal at Grant/Wilmot (they never mention the traffic signal explicitly). We agree that would be safer than creating a new unprotected crosswalk across Wilmot, north of Grant. - The old fueling site will generate a net gain of 97 parking spaces. - No change in operation of existing driveways. - The new fueling site is under County jurisdiction / permitting. The following is all related to the TIA: - Pg 5, site plan: If the eastern Grant Rd driveway is only for entrance, should it be designed differently/narrower to not give the appearance of in/out capability? - All four access points will operate at acceptable LOS with the project. Some movements will have LOS E worse than the existing condition (p. 32). - SB left turn 95% queue at Grant/Wilmot may lead to congestion with the new fueling site driveway (p.34). - Pg 34, as identified in the text, NB left turn queues extend beyond the turn lane storage length; however, these are safely accommodated for and kept out of the thru lane since extended storage can occur in the TWLTL. The businesses at the Wilmot driveways that could be blocked do have additional Wilmot driveways further south. - Pg 34, EB left turn lane: EB LT storage could not easily be expanded due to the need for storage for the WB turn lane served at the next median opening. - Pg 37, fueling site queuing discussion: I question whether the 62.5% reduction can be directly applied for the 50 position case because of lost efficiencies due to the larger site (i.e. not every driver is quickly responsive and comfortable weaving thru the little drive aisle to access an open fueling position when they are surrounded by ones that are already taken up); however, the graphic on pg 38 shows that there is room for much more than 5 queued vehicles. - Pg 40, regarding intersection improvements: We note that this new SB right turn lane would be contained on-site on the private property. - Pg 40, intersection improvements: We agree that to accommodate for simultaneous NB and SB left turns, intersection improvements such as median modifications are likely necessary. These intersection improvements could be accommodated for in the Private Improvement Agreement (PIA) project process, whereby the development project team could design, fund, and construct the desired improvements in the public right-of-way. |
