| 01/23/2026 | Site Engineering Standard | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | Site Engineering Review TD-DEV-0725-00200 523 E GAY ST Summary: New building, single story warehouse. Site Engineering comments are as follows: 1. The difference in elevation from the surrounding grade to the finished floor elevation is greater than two feet. This opens up the requirements set forth in Technical Standards Manual 2-01.8.1 for differential grading. 2. Site Engineering’s previous comment regarding the directing of all onsite flow to the retention basin was mostly addressed with its new proposed location. There is still a 4.4% slope down the entryway of the parking area that directs flow to Gay St. rather than the basin. 3. The second paragraph of section 2 of the submitted drainage report defines flow as a velocity rather than a volumetric flowrate. This volumetric flowrate is applicable when calculating flood criteria. 4. There is also no infiltration information provided in the drainage report. 5. Provide vertical separation between the vehicle use area and the retention basin to prevent vehicles from driving into the basin. UDC Art 7.4.6.H 6. The provided response to previous comment 18 states that an additional figure (Figure 3B) has been added to illustrate proposed discharge conditions. Revised drainage report not submitted.

| 01/23/2026 | Site Landscape Standard | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT REVIEWER: CHAD KELLER, RLA SITE LANDSCAPE/NATIVE PLANT PRESERVATION SECTION PROJECT: NEW BUILDING, SINGLE STORY WAREHOUSE ACTIVITY NO: TD-DEV-0725-00200 ADDRESS: 523 E GAY ST ZONING: C-2 COMMERCIAL ZONE LAND USE: COMMERCIAL BUILDING FORMAL REVIEW #2 01.23.2026 THE PROPOSED PLANS HAVE BEEN REVIEWED FOR COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS PER THE CITY OF TUCSON UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE (UDC), TECHNICAL STANDARDS MANUAL (TSM), AND ADMINISTRATIVE MANUAL (AM) FOR SITE LANDSCAPE, NATIVE PLANTS, AND RAINWATER HARVESTING. RESUBMIT REVISED DRAWINGS ALONG WITH A DETAILED RESPONSE LETTER, STATING HOW ALL SITE LANDSCAPE AND NPPO SECTION REVIEW COMMENTS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED. SITE LANDSCAPE/NPPO SECTION COMMENTS: 1. Include the size of container for the (4) proposed trees in the depressed landscape area at the south of the parking area along Gay St. The minimum requirement is a 15-gallon container for trees. Also include a tree planting detail. A standard tree planting detail PDF can be found here: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/Departments/Transportation-Mobility/Landscape/Landscape-Architects under LANDSCAPE DETAILS, number (400) and (401) for your reference and use. 1. COMMENT NOT FULLY ADDRESSED: Option 2: A Design Development Option (DDO) may be a solution to capture the required landscape border and commercial rainwater harvesting aspects of this site. This would require a DDO application showing that the required north landscape border planting requirements are being offset to the basin area along the south property line at Gay St., including a basic commercial rainwater harvesting plan for the offset plant material in the basin and the depressed planting area. For more information about the DDO option please reach out to Mark Castro with PDSD current planning department. Mark.Castro@tucsonaz.gov **THIS PROJECT WAS COMPLETED WITHOUT A PERMIT, AND THE LAND USE OF YOUR SITE IS COMMERCIAL AND THE ADJACENT ZONE TO THE NORTH IS O-3 OFFICE ZONE. SEE UDC TABLE 7.6.4-1: LANDSCAPE BORDERS. THE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT OPTION IS NOT AN APPLICATION THAT THE PDSD LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT CAN WAIVE. THE DDO MAY PROVIDE RELIEF FROM THE REMOVAL OF CONCRETE NORTH OF THE BUILDING. THE NORTH PROPERTY LINE IS 141 LINEAR FEET BY 10’ IN WIDTH. THIS LENGTH REQUIRES (5) CANOPY SHADE TREES AND DRIP IRRIGATION TO THE NEW TREES. THE 5’ REQUIRED SCREEN IS TAKEN CARE OF BY THE PROPERTY LINE WALL. AGAIN, CONTACT MARK CASTRO WITH PDSD TO APPLY FOR THE DDO. THE DDO PROCESS IS AN INTERNAL PDSD ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL, NO PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT IS INVOLVED. THE ADDITION OF (2) MORE TREES AND 50 PERCENT COVERAGE WITH VEGETATIVE GROUND COVER, IE: SHRUBS, ACCENTS, SPREADING GROUNDCOVER SHRUBS, ETC., IN THE BASIN AREA SOUTH OF THE PARKING AREA MAY BE ENOUGH OF A “LIKE FOR LIKE” OFFSET TO MEET THE LANDSCAPE MODIFICATIONS ALLOWED UNDER THE DDO. SEE UDC 3.11.1.B.3 FOR LANDSCAPE AND SCREENING MODIFICATIONS ALLOWED. Thank you. Chad Keller, RLA Landscape Architect chad.keller@tucsonaz.gov |
