| 06/10/2026 | External Reviewers - Tucson Airport Authority Standard | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | June 8, 2026 Planning and Development Services City of Tucson 201 North Stone Avenue Tucson, AZ. 85701 RE: TD-DEV-0526-00121, 1st Submittal, Installation of 816.64kW-DC / 520kW-AC solar photovoltaic canopies & EV chargers in parking lot / 4004 S. Park Ave, Bldg 2, Tucson, AZ. 85714, Received May 13, 2026 To whom this may concern, Thank you for the opportunity to comment on TD-DEV-0526-00121, 1st Submittal, a development plan for a new solar array and associated canopy at 4004 S. Park Ave. This development is located in the N.W. quarter of the N.W. quarter of Section 31, Township 14S, Range 14E, of the Gila and Salt River Meridian. The development site occupies parcel number 132-16-600A, covers approximately 56.4 ± acres, and is zoned as Residence 2 Zone (R-2) and Light Industrial Zone (I-1). The nearest major roadway intersection is South Park Avenue and East Ajo Way, approximately 550 feet to the northeast 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 does not object to the first submittal of this 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 3 miles northwest 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 – Land Use 26. 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. Scott Robidoux Manager of Planning Tucson Airport Authority 7250 South Tucson Blvd, Suite 300 Tucson, AZ 85756” 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. Respectfully, Scott Robidoux, C.M. Manager of Planning |

Non-Native trees are to be removed per keynote number 1. With that being said, can additional shade trees be implemented somewhere else on this site at a 1:1 mitigation ratio for the removed Eucalyptus and heat island effect dampening? Possibly replace the Eucalyptus with one of our other drought-tolerant, native trees. IE: Mesquite, Palo Verde, or Desert Willow. This is not a requirement, but highly recommended for additional shade canopy on this site. Thank you. Chad Keller, PLA Landscape Architect chad.keller@tucsonaz.gov 520.837.4923 |
