06/26/2023 External Reviewers - Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) REQUIRES RESUBMIT Good Morning,
ADOT Traffic Engineering has reviewed this DEV; especially the Traffic Impact Analysis and Development Site Plan, and has the following comments;
- The Left-Out access from the development to Congress Street should not be allowed and restricted access may be provided. According to ADOT RDG Section 506, Right-in, Right-out access should only be provided after 660' from the return radius of the I10 Westbound Offramp / Frontage Road Intersection. Considering the property restraints, right-in and right-out may be considered.
- It is recommended that the center median on the east side of the WB Offramp / Frontage Road & Congress intersection be extended to restrict the left-out movement from the proposed access point.
- There are future plans to extend the EL Paso / Southwestern Greenway in this area, consideration should be made to determine how the crossing of Congress by this facility will interact with this proposed development and access. The TIA should discuss this item.
- Secondary access to the east or south should be considered/required for site circulation and emergency access and discussed in the TIA. This should also assist improving the Level Of Service for the access to this parcel. In the Development Site Plan there is a stub-out for future access to the south, but it is not discussed in the TIA.
Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions or concerns regarding these comments.

06/15/2023 Historic REQUIRES RESUBMIT Proposed project is located within the Archaeological Sensitivity Zone and adjacent to an eligible site. Encroachment on to the parcel with the eligible site will require an archaeological monitor during any grading, trenching, digging. Disturbance of the historic tracks or alignment will also require mitigation.
An archaeological consultant should be contracted through the city's Historic Preservation Office prior to the start of any work at the site.
07/26/2023 Real Estate REQUIRES RESUBMIT Real Estate has the comment below.

There is a M&C approved Master Plan for the EP&SW Greenway which appears in conflict with the project's design. The Greenway runs from Broadway to Granada. The Greenway team at the Dept. of Transportation & Mobility should approve the plan or request a revision to design.

Please see Page 30 of the link below.

05/26/2023 Site Zoning REQUIRES RESUBMIT CDRC TRANSMITTAL

TO: Development Services Department
Plans Coordination Office

FROM: Nick Ross
Section Manager

PROJECT:
Development Package (1st Review)
TD-DEV-0523-00242

TRANSMITTAL DATE: May 26, 2023

DUE DATE: June 18, 2023

COMMENTS: Please resubmit revised drawings and any redlined plans along with a detailed response letter, which states how all Zoning Review Section comments were addressed.

This plan has been reviewed for compliance with the Unified Development Code (UDC) Administrative Manual (AM) Section 2-06. Also compliance with applicable development criteria for the proposed use as listed in the City of Tucson Uniform Development Code (UDC) and the UDC Technical Standards Manual (TSM).

Section 3.3.3.G.5.c UDC, An applicant has one year from the date of application to obtain approval of a site plan that complies with zoning and other development requirements in effect at the time of application, unless an ordinance adopted by Mayor and Council during this period states otherwise. A site plan application that has been in review for a period of one year and has not yet been approved is considered denied. To continue the review of a site plan for the property, a new site plan must be submitted that complies with regulations in effect at the time of re-submittal. The new submittal initiates a new one-year review period. One year expiration date is May 26, 2024.


1. 2-06.4.3 - The administrative street address and relevant case numbers (development package document, subdivision, rezoning, board of adjustment, DDO, MDR, DSMR, overlay, etc.) shall be provided adjacent to the title block on each sheet.
COMMENT: Please add “TD-DEV-0523-00242” to all sheets in plan set.

2. 2-06.4.4 - The project-location map to be located on the first sheet of the development package in the upper right corner, shall cover approximately one square mile, be drawn at a minimum scale of three inch equals one mile, and provide the following information.
COMMENT: Per 2-06.4.4.A - Show the subject property approximately centered within the one square mile area;

3. 2-06.4.8 - Existing Site Conditions
The following information shall be provided on the plan/plat drawing to indicate the existing conditions on site and within 50 feet of the site. On sites bounded by a street with a width of 50 feet or greater, the existing conditions across the street will be provided.

2-06.4.8.C - The following information regarding existing private or public right-of-way adjacent to or within the site shall be provided: the name, right-of-way width, recordation data, type and dimensioned width of paving, curbs, curb cuts, and sidewalks.

4. 2-06.4.9.E - Proposed land splits or existing lot lines shall be drawn on the plan with dimensions and the identification number and approximate square footage of each lot. (Please be aware that, if land division occurs and the number of lots falls within the definition of subdivision, a subdivision plat is required.) Land splits require a separate permit and review.
COMMENT: The southern parcel boundary does not appear to be accurate. If land division is part of this proposal, a separate permit application will be required.

5. 2-06.4.9.F - All existing zoning classifications on and adjacent to the project (including across any adjacent right-of-way) shall be indicated on the drawing with zoning boundaries clearly defined. If the property is being rezoned, use those boundaries and classifications. The basis for this requirement is that some zoning requirements on a project are based on the zoning classification of adjacent property. Also, in some instances, each zone has to be taken into consideration on property that is split by two or more zoning classifications, as each may have different requirements.
COMMENT: This standard has not been addressed.

6. 2-06.4.9.H.5 - If utilizing parking area access lanes (PAALs), they shall be designed in accordance with Section 7.4.6, Motor Vehicle Use Area Design Criteria, of the UDC.
COMMENT: Zoning cannot confirm PAALs within parking structures are compliant with this section. Please provide a parking layout for each level of the parking garage.

As a note, provide calculations on the number of spaces required (include the ratio used) and the number provided, including the number of spaces required and provided for the physically disabled. The drawing should indicate parking space locations for the physically disabled. A typical parking space detail shall be provided for both standard parking spaces and those for the physically disabled. For information on parking requirements for the physically disabled, refer to adopted building and accessibility codes of the City of Tucson. Design criteria for parking spaces and access are located in Section 7.4.6, Motor Vehicle Use Area Design Criteria, of the UDC.
COMMENT: See Comment 7 AND show compliance with required number of electric vehicle supply equipment outlined in Section 7.4.11 & .12.

8. 2-06.4.9.H.5.d - Show bicycle parking facilities fully dimensioned. For specifics, refer to Section 7.4.9, Bicycle Parking Design Criteria, of the UDC. Provide, as a note, calculations for short and long term bicycle spaces required and provided.
COMMENT: Short term bicycle parking must be located within 50ft of a public entrance to the building. Additionally, the number of short term bicycle parking spaces are not being met. Please provide a note that long term bicycle parking is located within the units.

9. 2-06.4.9.O - All applicable building setback lines, such as erosion hazard, floodplain detention/retention basins, and zoning, including sight visibility triangles, will be shown.
COMMENT: The only zoning setback information provided on the site plan is for the north property line. Please provide setback information for all sides of the property. While Zoning acknowledges this project is going through IID review and can have modified setbacks, the required 10ft setback on the north and west property lines does not appear to be met.

10. 2-06.4.9.Q - Provide the square footage and the height of each commercial, industrial, or business structure and the specific use proposed within the footprint of the building(s).
COMMENT: Please provide separate height information within the footprint of the parking structure.
