Provide the invert and rim elevations of the manholes up and downstream of the building connection to the public sewer. Determine the need for a backwater valve per Section 714.1, IPC 2018, as amended by the City of Tucson.

08/05/2023 Historic REQUIRES RESUBMIT Previous comments provided by Historic were not addressed. Response to comments appeared to be cutting off anything addressing Historic.
If the project is participating in the IID, please submit documents noted in the Historic & Special Districts information handout (https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/pdsd/forms/Special_Districts_Application_Instructions.pdf). Both properties are considered contributing resources to the Menlo Park National Register Historic District. If the applicant is proposing to participate in the IID, the properties will need to maintain their contributing status. Without seeing elevations, it is difficult to comment on whether or not the proposed alterations are appropriate and can be deem consistent with the US Secretary of the Interior's Standards. However, the ADA ramp proposed for 905 W Congress should be relocated to the east side of the porch, allowing access in a less visible location and keeping the primary view of the front porch intact. The ramp could connect via the east side of the porch. If it is not possible to relocated to the east side of the porch other less visible connections should be considered. Other changes will need to be reviewed for consistency with the Standards to understand their impact.
08/01/2023 Site Engineering REQUIRES RESUBMIT It does not appear that comments have been addressed.
Please provide a comment response letter outlining your corrections per our comments, and updated plans showing these changes.

This plan has been reviewed for compliance with the Unified Development Code (UDC), Administrative Manual (AM) Section 2-06.0.0, and the Technical Standards Manual (TSM).

Per UDC Section 3.3.3.G.5.c, an applicant has one year from the date of application to obtain approval of a site plan that complies with zoning and other development requirements in effect at the time of application, unless an ordinance adopted by Mayor and Council during this period states otherwise.

To continue the review of a site plan for the property, a new site plan must be submitted that complies with regulations in effect at the time of re-submittal.

07/20/2023 Zoning Modifications - IPP REQUIRES RESUBMIT RE: IPP preliminary review – requires public mail out prior to official submittal
Case: TD-DEV-1022-00004
For: Meteor Café / Bike shop
At: 901 & 905 W Congress St
Date: 07/11/23
Reviewer: H. Thrall (Heather.Thrall@tucsonaz.gov)

Code: Unified Development Code 7A.4.5. Parking Reductions & Exceptions
A) 7.4.5.A.5.i. the proposed outdoor dining must be 100’ away from residentially zoned property – dimension to adjacent residential zone to the north
B) 7.4.5.A.5h. add notation addressing how lighting will meet outdoor lighting code and will not intrude into either the adjacent residential property to the west nor to the north.
C) 7.4.5.A.5.g. add notation how drive thru traffic and habitual parking in adjacent residential neighborhood is deterred – ID turn around method so the people can safely navigate out of the residential neighborhood.
D) The on street parking shown on Congress both west and east of Melwood, and directly across the street, is a bike lane area. Remove the parking notation from page 15 and throughout the plan.
E) I see the parallel parking diagonal, across Congress and on street in a recessed area. Per 74.6.B.1.f.– a sign is required on the subject site identifying the adjacent crosswalk to get across the street.
F) 7.4.5.A.5.c. clarify the hours of operation for each use (bike shop and café) and demonstrate how the parking proposed is adequate for each
G) The development package no longer matches the submitted plan set for the IPP – will require resubmittal and review.
H) The neighborhood was notified of a parking reduction down to 12 spaces, per last document, however, you have updated to just 8 parking spaces. Per Zoning Administrator, additional notice required in a public mail out prior to the formal submittal.
I) If your outdoor dining area is not 100’ from the adjacent residential use, the return to the former DP layout and parking number is likely best route, with shift of outdoor dining to be compliant to 100’ from residential
J) Add note that per UDC 7A.4.5.A.5.j, no outdoor loudspeakers will be present at this site to ensure no recorded nor live music is played within 600’ of residentially zoned property.
K) Add note that a liquor mitigation plan is required, with public notice, for the service of liquor for this location and shall occur at a separate review and submittal that demonstrates the noise, light and traffic control is fully addressed for any outdoor dining.
L) Add a sign at exit to site that indicates, “right turn only”
M) Increase operational hours on the chart to midnight – as that was discussion for the business
