RE: TD-DEV-0523-00249, New Asia Exhibit, Reid Park Zoo / 3400 E Zoo Court, Tucson AZ
85716, Received May 23, 2023
To whom this may concern,
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on TD-DEV-0523-00249, the development plan for an
expansion of the existing zoo to establish a new Asia exhibit at 3400 E Zoo Court. This
development is located in the S.E. corner of the S.W. quarter of Section 16, Township 14S,
Range 14E, of the Gila and Salt River Meridian. The development site occupies parcel number
126-20-001C, covers approximately 3.68 ± acres, and is zoned as Residence Zone 1 (R-1). The
nearest major roadway intersection is South Randolph Way and East 22nd Street, approximately
750 feet to the southeast of the subject development.
This site does lie within FAA Part 77 airspace.
The Tucson Airport is requiring a resubmit of this project. These conditions must be included in
the development plan document and shall be identified in the general notes section of all future
plans submitted to the City of Tucson for review.
Conditions of approval:
1. “According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Notice Criteria Tool, no Notice
Criteria are exceeded. Applicants are therefore not required to file FAA Form 7460.
However, if the use of cranes is anticipated during development and construction
activities, the applicant must file FAA Form 7460 at least 45 days in advance of such
use, to provide the applicant with sufficient time to respond to any concerns identified by
the FAA. Please file Form 7460 at https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external/portal.jsp.”
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-

06/14/2023 Site Landscape REQUIRES RESUBMIT PROJECT: ASIA EXHIBIT – REID PARK ZOO
ACTIVITY NO. TD-DEV-0523-00249
ADDRESS/PARCEL: 3400 E ZOO CT
ZONING: R-1

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 and PAD-12 for landscape, native plants, and water harvesting.

Please resubmit revised drawings along with a detailed response letter, which states how all Landscape/NPPO Review Section comments are addressed.

UDC/TSM COMMENTS:
1. Ensure that Zoning, Engineering comments, and concerns are addressed prior to landscape section approval.
2. Due to the existing nature of the site as well as the proposed development by the zoo, NPPO/Commercial Rainwater Harvesting Plan Requirements are waived.
3. Provide the development package case number, TD-DEV-0523-00249, adjacent to the title block on all sheets. 2-06.4.3
4. Please include all required Landscape/Irrigation/Maintenance notes required as part of the submittal.
5. Pg HA1.4 shows an open space called ‘Event Meadow’ that is hybrid Bermuda grass sod, please grade this so it can be used as a micro basin for water harvesting, especially seeing as the City just instituted an ornamental turf ban. Landscape/NPPO understands this space has a function that is not purely ornamental. But any mitigation in terms of irrigation would be helpful.
6. Include a construction detail for trees planted near plazas/sidewalks/concrete paths. See Detail #402 here: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/tdot/landscape-architects
