| 10/29/2026 | External Reviewers - Tucson Airport Authority Standard | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | October 28, 2026 Planning and Development Services City of Tucson 201 North Stone Avenue Tucson, AZ. 85701 RE: TD-DEV-0926-00255, 1 st Submittal, HEXAGON MINING PV, 2650 E. Elvira Rd, Tucson, AZ. 85756, Received October 5, 2026 To whom this may concern, Thank you for the opportunity to comment on TD-DEV-0926-00255, 1 st Submittal, a development plan for new photovoltaic solar arrays within an existing parking lot of a developed building at 2650 E Elvira Rd. This development is located in the N.W. quarter of the S.E. quarter of Section 17, Township 15S, Range 14E, of the Gila and Salt River Meridian. The development site occupies parcel number 140-42-0270, covers approximately 9.55 ± acres, and is zoned as Light Industrial Zone (I-1). The nearest major roadway intersection is South Tucson Boulevard and East Elvira Road, approximately 600 feet to the northwest 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. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Pre-Screening Tool, this proposed project resulted in the following responses: 1. Based on the information you provided, you are required to file notice with the FAA. You must submit notice at least 45 days before the start of the proposed construction or alteration or the date an application for a construction permit is filed, whichever is earliest. 2. Note: If you propose construction or alteration that is subject to the licensing requirements of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), you must submit notice to the FAA on or before the date that an application is filed with the FCC. Visit FCC Licensing to learn more. The Tucson Airport Authority is requiring a resubmittal of this project. These conditions must be included in the plan documents and shall be identified in the general notes section of all future plans submitted to the City of Tucson for review. Conditions of approval: 1. “The applicant shall file FAA Form 7460 with the FAA at least 45 days before construction activities begin unless FAA staff, with the Obstruction Evaluation / Airport Airspace Analysis (OE/AAA), provides the project applicant with written communication that filing FAA Form 7460 is not required. It is highly recommended that the applicant file earlier than 45 days to provide the applicant with sufficient time to respond to any concerns which are identified by the FAA. Any cranes which are used must also be identified with a separate Form 7460. Please file Form 7460 at https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external/portal.jsp” 2. “Development of the subject property shall not cause or potentially affect aviation in the vicinity of the site, determined in the reasonable judgment of the Tucson Airport Authority, including but not limited to, physical obstructions to aircraft operations, interference with operations by way of electrical static, visual obstructions through emissions or glare, and/or the open storage of petroleum products, explosive materials, or materials which attract or lead to the concentration of wildlife.” 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 1,200 feet north 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 cc file |

| 10/28/2026 | Site Landscape Standard | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT REVIEWER: CHAD KELLER, PLA SITE LANDSCAPE/NATIVE PLANT PRESERVATION SECTION PROJECT: PV SYSTEM, PV MODULES MOUNTED ON 2 NEW STEEL CANOPIES IN AN EXISTING PAVED PARKING AREA ACTIVITY NO: TD-DEV-0926-00255 ADDRESS: 2650 E ELVIRA RD ZONING: LIGHT INDUSTRIAL ZONE (I-1) 10.28.2026 THE PROPOSED PLANS HAVE BEEN REVIEWED FOR COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR SITE LANDSCAPE, NATIVE PLANTS, AND RAINWATER HARVESTING, PER-THE-CITY OF TUCSON UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE (UDC), TECHNICAL STANDARDS MANUAL (TSM), AND ADMINISTRATIVE MANUAL (AM). 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. There are six mature trees that will possibly be destroyed due to the new PV system shade structures. Please provide mitigation at a one-to-one ratio for these trees and plant six new trees of the same species at 15-gallon size somewhere else on site. There are multiple areas and/or landscape planting islands that already have plants. Tap into the irrigation system at the new tree locations and provide a multi-port irrigation emitter. This single sheet site plan likely has enough space to show the six new trees on the plan view in their new location. Include a simple legend to call out the botanical and common name, size and quantity. Provide a tree planting detail that includes a root barrier for if the tree is within five feet of any hardscape. Provide a schematic tie into the existing irrigation system on the plan view and as stated above, include a detail for a multi-port irrigation emitter. 2. If an additional sheet is needed to depict this information for clarity, then I would recommend providing an additional landscape-only site plan with legend, details and notes. It is also recommended to consult with a registered landscape architect as their expertise in the preparation of compliance plans can make the approval process more seamless. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you. CHAD KELLER, PLA LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT CITY OF TUCSON, PDSD, SITE REVIEW SECTION CHAD.KELLER@TUCSONAZ.GOV 520.837.4923 |
