Site Engineering Review Comments: Administrative Corrections: 1. SHEET C1.1: Provide the development package case number (TD-DEV-0926-00236) adjacent to the title block on each sheet of the plan set. [AM 2-06.4.1] 2. SHEET C1.1 - General Note 13 & 14: please update notes to conform to the new Administrative Manual [AM 2-06.4.5] https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/tucson/latest/tucson_az_udc/0-0-0-8794 A. All projects with public and private sewers or disposal systems, must indicate: “On-site sanitary sewers, except public sewers within public sewer easements or rights-of-way, will be private and will be constructed, operated, and maintained on a private basis. The location and method of connection to an existing public sanitary sewer is subject to review and approval by the Pima County Regional Wastewater Reclamation Department (RWRD) at the time of submittal of plumbing or building plans.” B. All commercial or industrial projects must indicate: “Any wastewater discharged into the public sanitary sewerage system shall meet the requirements of Pima County RWRD Ordinance No. 1991-140, or as amended.” F. If private sewers are proposed, the following notes will appear on the plan/plat as applicable: 1. For projects with more than one lot, indicate: “A property owners’ association will be formed to accept responsibility and liability for construction, maintenance, operation, and control of all private sewers.” (This applies only if there is more than one lot within the development.) 2. For projects without a homeowners association proposed, indicate: “Maintenance and operation of the private sanitary sewer to its point of connection to the public sanitary sewer is the responsibility of each and every property owner within this development.” 3. SHEET C1.1 - General Note 15: to be updated with applicable year for ICC A117.a (should be 2017, not 2009) Site Corrections: 4. SHEET C1.2 – Missing dimension: Backup spur dimension missing, minimum 3’ required. [UDC 7.4.6.F.4 and Figure 7.4.6-B: Back Up Spur] 5. SHEET C1.3 & L1.2 – Downspouts and scuppers: A note was left on the Landscape Sheet L1.2 that roof downspouts and scuppers would be found on C1.3, however, there is no keynote or reference to new or existing downspouts and scuppers. Update the appropriate sheets to provide missing information. [TSM 7-01.4.1.E] 6. SHEET C1.2 – Use of APCs: Per Pre-Application Conference, “Due to potential existing overhead powerline interferences and low waste stream calculation for this site, if it is found that the new waste stream calculations can fit Automated Plastic Container (APC) capacity, approval from Environmental Services (ES) must be provided at time of submission. Please contact Andy Vera, Andy.Vera@tucsonaz.gov regarding ES approval with DP application.” Provide an email from Andy Vera to so approval with use of APCs. A. If approval is given, the request will be managed as a TSMR which will require the submission of a Technical Standards Modification Request at time of resubmission of this development package. 7. SHEET C1.2 – APC Screening: Though use of APCs allows flexibility, code requires receptacles have a designated area and be screened. [TSM 8-01.5.2] 8. SHEET C1.2 – Pedestrian Circulation: When looking at the overall site circulation, and adherence to code requirements from the Pre-Application Conference, the following items shall be noted [UDC 7.4.6.H.1 & TSM 7-01.3.3]: A. Modifications of the existing exterior accessible route (Keynote 20: existing sidewalk north of Suite 1 and Keynote 10: new concrete ramp) shall conform to the minimum 4’ width requirements as outlined in ICC A117.a SECTIONS 402-405. Due to this requirement, it is recommended that all sections of sidewalk be updated to the minimum 4’ width requirement from 6TH AVE ROW to the rear parking lot. B. Pedestrian circulation must connect to existing shed as noted in Pre-Application Conference. C. KEYNOTE 8: relocated fence and gate must show compliance with 2017 A117.1 SECTIONS 402-404. A clear width dimension must be shown for the proposed location of the gate. D. Site Engineering is willing to eliminate the requirement for pedestrian circulation to connect to Arizona Avenue as otherwise stated in the Pre-Application Conference (TP-PRE-0526-00113). There are significant site constraints regarding landscape buffer, PAAL width, parking overhang negatively impacting pedestrian circulation. The Site Engineering team recommends an accessible route connect with the accessible aisle as it relates to 2017 A117.1 SECTIONS 501-502; this eliminates the northern ped circ and ensures that all on-site pathways connect using accessible pathways. A Technical Standard Modification Request (TSMR) may also provide alleviation by a reduction of the 24’ PAAL width. |

The commercial rainwater harvesting ordinance requires a separate, irrigation only meter, or submeter. Please include the label “irrigation only” with the proposed meter call out. 2. Call out a specific sized rock and type, e.g. ¾ inch screened rock, Coronado Brown or approved equal. 3. Call out the location of the interior landscape border, e.g. northeast property line. It is unclear how the properties interior landscape border complies along the north property line. This commercial site is adjacent to a residence zone. The parking lot is ancillary to the overall commercial use. The border should extend all the way across that portion of the property boundary. If using an exception to gain compliance with the interior landscape border requirement due to lack of space for the plants/trees in from of the car parking spaces, then please summarize on the plan how the plan meets the following standards: **3. Interior Landscape Borders Interior landscape borders are required as a buffer and visual transition along the common property lines between adjacent land uses and zones as follows, except as provided in Section 7.6.4.C.4, Exceptions to the Landscape Border Standards. a. Interior landscape borders are required as determined in Table 7.6.4-1, which ranks land uses and zones based upon their land use intensity and the impact a use will have on adjacent land uses. b. The minimum required width of an interior landscape border is the lesser of ten feet or the width of the building setback required by the UDC for the proposed building or use. **c. Where motor vehicle parking spaces or parking area access lanes (PAALs) are located next to the property line or where the interior landscape border conflicts with a utility easement, an interior landscape border is not required if all of the following requirements are met: **(1) An equivalent number of trees are planted elsewhere on the site between the building (s) and the property line, or if the use on the site does not include buildings, the required canopy trees are located between the principal use and the property line; **(2) The trees are evenly distributed over the site; and **(3) The minimum planting area required in Section 7.6.4.B.3, Planter Area, is provided for each canopy tree. d. Detention/retention facilities may be incorporated into the interior landscape border if they are designed in accordance with Section 7.6.6.C.1, Storm Water Runoff. **Use the above exception to define as clearly as possible how the plan meets the intent of these requirements. 4. Provide a few general spot elevations on the rainwater harvesting plan that match the grading plan. 5. Prior to site landscape approval, ensure that Site Zoning and Site Engineering comments are fully addressed. 6. Include the Activity Number TD-DEV-0926-00236 on all sheets in the plan set. Thank you.
