RE: TD-DEV-0524-00163, The construction of a new fuel station with 10 fueling positions and a
1,556 S.F. convenience store within the existing parking lot of a Walmart Supercenter. / 1650 W
Valencia Rd, Tucson, AZ 85746, Received June 11, 2024
To whom this may concern,
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on TD-DEV-0524-00163, the development plan for a
new gas station and associated convenience store at 1650 W Valencia Rd. This development is
located in the S.W. quarter of the S.E. quarter of Section 10, Township 15S, Range 13E, of the
Gila and Salt River Meridian. The development site occupies parcel number 137-34-001A,
covers approximately 1.25 ± acres, and is zoned as Commercial Zone 2 (C-2). The nearest
major roadway intersection is South Midvale Park Road and West Valencia Road,
approximately 350 feet to the southeast 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.
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 2 ½ miles west 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.

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.

ACTIVITY NO: TD-DEV-0524-00163
ADDRESS/PARCEL: 1650 W VALENCIA RD/13734001A
ZONING: C-2 COMMERCIAL ZONE

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 Landscape/NPPO Review Section comments are addressed.

SITE LANDSCAPE/NPPO SECTION COMMENTS:

1. Ensure that Zoning, Engineering comments and concerns are addressed prior to landscape section approval.

2. Provide the development package case number, TD-DEV-0524-00163, adjacent to the title block on all sheets. 2-06.4.3

3. Please identify the site monitor and list contact information on the NPPO.

4. Are sight visibility triangles needed at the entry and exits to the service station? Or are SVT’s only required along MS&R’s.

5. The plan does show an existing meter to be contractor field verified. Label the irrigation meter as “irrigation only”. See TSM 4-01.6.0

6. Provide downspout and splash pad locations from the building on the CRWHP and refer to the civil plans for more detail.

7. Coordinate the top of WHIA contouring on the CRWHP and the civil grading plan. The CRHWP shows the outline of the WHIA (assuming that is the highest elevation contour) and a foot or two of positive drainage from curb to the top of basin. The CRWHP and the civil grading plan should match. Detail E on sheet 15 of 21 depicts the positive drainage, add reference to the detail on the CRWHP.

8. A WHIA schematic detail would be helpful for construction of the rainwater harvesting basins. If you need an example to add to your CRWHP, please let me know and I will send you an example.

RESUBMITTAL OF THE FOLLOWING IS REQUIRED: A revised development package as well as a comment response letter. To resubmit, visit the Tucson Development Center Online at https://tdc-online.tucsonaz.gov/#/home. The instructions for resubmittal can be found at https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/pdsd/documents/tdc-faq/new-pdfs/revisions-and-resubmittals.pdf.
07/02/2024 Traffic Engineering Review REQUIRES RESUBMIT Based on the ITE Trip Generation Manual, more than 100 new peak hour trips are anticipated with a new 10 fueling position gas station/convenience store (in both the AM and PM peak hours). Based on exceeding this threshold, a Traffic Impact Analysis should be produced, as per the COT Access Management Guidelines. The TIA should prove that the existing roadway network can accommodate for the new traffic generated and/or make recommendations of improvements needed to accommodate for the development's traffic. A significant portion of new trips may occur as pass-by trips, which could lower the NEW peak hour generation from the development. However, this will need to be documented in at least a traffic memorandum in support of the project.
