SITE LANDSCAPE/NATIVE PLANT PRESERVATION SECTION

PROJECT: REDEVELOPMENT OF TWO ADJACENT PARCELS LOCATED WITHIN THE TUCSON AUTO MALL

REVIEW #1
10.23.2025

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 of the Site Landscape and NPPO Section review comments have been addressed.

SITE LANDSCAPE/NPPO SECTION COMMENTS:

1. Subwatershed dashed line looks good. Possibly add a couple of leader callouts for redundant clarity for the subwatershed line, so that it is obvious that it is one subwatershed feeding all of the depressed landscape areas (WHIAs).

2. On the Commercial Rainwater Harvesting Plans, add additional arrow denotation for schematic flow off of buildings and at curb cut inlet and outlet locations. You can also add a note on the rainwater harvesting plans to see the civil grading plan for exact grades, spot elevations and locations of curb cut inlets and outlets.

3. A schematic detail showing the depressed landscape area is not required, but it is helpful in the field when being constructed. If you would like an example, please email me and I will send you a copy. Or create one that fits into your drafting standards. This should show in general a cross section of one of the basins that indicates the flow from the paved area thru the curb cut, positive drainage from the edge of pavement to the top of basin, top of basin to bottom of basin slope at approx. 4:1 slope, 2” depth screen rock or inorganic groundcover; top of screened rock to top of basin at 6 to 9 inches, etc.

4. I do appreciate the color plant material for review purposes. Make sure that the plans are legible if they happen to be plotted in black and white. It will likely be many shades of gray. Double check to make sure prior to your next submittal.

5. Include all applicable details for the planting plan. Tree, shrub, accent, groundcover planting details. Tree next to hardscape with root barrier detailing. Screened rock or inorganic ground cover detail with reveal at hardscape. Etc.

6. Include a supplemental irrigation plan and details to go with all of the new plantings on site. In bold line types show proposed sleeving, lateral lines, meter, backflow, valves, etc. A separate irrigation meter is required per the Commercial Rainwater Harvesting Ordinance. This is for Tucson water to keep track of water use over the years for conformance with the percentage stated on the rainwater harvesting plans.

7. Apologies for not including this next comment in my pre-application meeting. It is understood that there are likely no protected native plants on site and if there are, they are minimal. The inclusion of a NPPO Waiver is still a requirement for our records. If a copy of the exception form is needed, reach out and I will provide a copy for your use. If you have any question on the waiver, let me know and we can discuss before your next submittal so I can approve the plans.

8. Provide the development package case number, TD-DEV-0725-00179, adjacent to the title block on all site landscape sheets, per Administrative Manual 2-06.4.3

Thank you.
