| 05/19/2026 | External Reviewers - Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | May 15, 2026 Mr. Sean Messner, PE CivTech, Inc. 10605 North Hayden Road, Suite 140 Scottsdale, AZ 85260 Re: Northwest Corner (NWC) of Kino Pkwy. and Benson Hwy. (South of the I-10 TI) Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) for Parkside Reserve – April 2026 Dear Mr. Messner: This letter is being sent to provide comments on the Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) dated April 27, 2026, and received May 8, 2026, for the proposed Parkside Reserve development located in the northwest corner (NWC) of Kino Pkwy. and Benson Hwy. (south of the I-10 TI) in Tucson, AZ. The proposed development is requesting three (3) driveway access points: one (1) full access onto Kino Pkwy. and two (2) right-in/right-out accesses onto Benson Hwy. The proposed development would consist of 210 multi-family units. According to the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 12 th Edition, LUC 221, the proposed development is estimated to generate 938 weekday daily trips, with 80 trips occurring during the AM peak hour and 79 trips occurring during the PM peak hour. Below you will find comments on the traffic study that need to be addressed prior to acceptance. ● General: “Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT)” should be added to the “Submittal to” line of the cover pages. ● Page 1 - Executive Summary: Please correct the typos stating that the opening year will be 2025 or 2026. The opening year should be 2027. ● Page 1 - Executive Summary: ADOT TGP 240 should be discussed. This TIA is also a Category I TIA per TGP 240 guidelines. However, ADOT guidelines require a horizon year to be analyzed 3 years after the opening year. ● Page 3 - Executive Summary - 4th bullet point on the page: The westbound off-ramps are also being reconfigured. Please revise the first two sentences of the bullet point to read: “ADOT is reconfiguring the interchange of Kino Parkway and Interstate 10 as a diverging diamond interchange (DDI).” ● Page 5 - Study Area: o The same intersection is provided in two separate bullet points. Please combine “Kino Parkway and Benson Highway” and “Campbell and Benson Highway”. o The Study Area will need to include the I-10 and Kino Pkwy. TI, which is currently being redesigned as a Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI) as part of a Design Build project. The relevant plans can be obtained via a public records request: https://azdot.gov/adot-news/public-information-and-records-request o Please revise “Ajo Way and I-10 WB Ramps” to “Ajo Way and Ajo Way Connector”. o Please revise “Kino Parkway and Ajo Way” to “Kino Parkway and Ajo Way Connector”. azdot.gov 1 ● Page 5 - Study Horizon Year: As stated above, an additional horizon year (2030) will need to be analyzed. ● Page 6 - Surrounding Land Use: Please include that the proposed development would surround the existing Anytime Storage. ● Page 8 - Intersection Configuration: o Please revise “Kino Parkway and Ajo Way” to “Kino Parkway and Ajo Way Connector”. The WB left operates with protected phasing as there is no opposing thru movement. o Please revise “Ajo Way and I-10 WB Ramps” to “Ajo Way and Ajo Way Connector”. This will now be a three-legged intersection with protected-permitted phasing on the EB & WB approaches (the existing WB left turn lane will be converted to a U-Turn Only lane) and protected phasing on the SB approach. The SB approach will consist of two dedicated left turn lanes and one dedicated right turn lane. The WB approach will consist of one dedicated right turn lane, two dedicated through lanes, and one dedicated U-turn lane. The EB approach will consist of one dedicated left turn lane and two dedicated through lanes. ● Page 15 - Trip Generation: Land Use Code 220 (Low-Rise) should be used rather than Land Use Code 221 (Mid-Rise), as the multi-family housing will consist of 3-story buildings. ● Page 16 - Table 5 - Site Trip Distribution: o Please revise the first two rows to read “Southeast on I-10” and “Northwest on I-10”. o Please revise the third and fourth rows to read “North on Kino Parkway” and “South on Campbell Avenue”. o Please revise the sixth row to read “Northwest on E Benson Highway”. ● Page 20 - Figure 7 - 2027 Background Traffic Volumes: The EB volumes at Driveway A do not match what is shown in the Maverik TIS. ● General: Please update the Executive Summary and Conclusions sections of the report after addressing the above comments. The ultimate success of the Development will require coordinated efforts with ADOT and the City of Tucson. The developer/owner will need to complete an ADOT Encroachment Permit Application and have a signed Permit before commencing work within State Right-of-Way. The On-Site Plans and Off-Site Improvement Plans, including the civil plans, traffic plans, and other requirements of the Encroachment Permit will need to be submitted to the Southcentral District Permits Office in Tucson for review and approval by the appropriate disciplines. Additional information can be found on ADOT’s website at https://azdot.gov/business/permits/encroachment-permits. Questions regarding the permit requirements, application, or process should be directed to the ADOT Southcentral District Permits email address: southcentralpermit@azdot.gov. azdot.gov 2 If you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding the mitigation measures or requirements necessary for approval of the TIA, please call me at (520) 388-4203, or email me at rfreije@azdot.gov.
