| 12/15/2025 | Site Engineering Standard | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | Permit: TD-DEV-1225-00301 Location: 5493 S CALLE SANTA CRUZ Review Date: 12/15/2025 This plan has been reviewed for compliance with applicable development criteria in the City of Tucson Unified Development Code (UDC) Administrative Manual (AM) Section 2-6 and Technical Manual (TM) Section for waste management, Pedestrian Access, Hydrology -Retention/Detention Requirements, and all site standard code. Drainage Manual Link: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/pdsd/documents/engineering-code/cot-drainage-manual-searchable.pdf Design standards for Stormwater Detention and Retention Link: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/pdsd/documents/engineering-code/updated-retention-detention-manual.pdf Site Engineering Comments: 1. Provide the development package case number, TD-DEV-1225-00301, adjacent to the title block on all sheets. 2. The Geotech report provided will be required for resubmission. It appears the report is from 2022 when a multi-family development was proposed for this site. It is understood that the parameters of the ground may not have changed over that time, but the scope of analysis as well as building recommendations do not align with what is proposed now which is why a new report or recertification with an updated stamp from the engineer will be required to show the analysis still holds true to this new proposed development. There is also no analysis into possible recommendations relating to the underground stormwater infrastructure underneath the site. Parking: 3. Wheel stops will be required at all parking spaces adjacent to the sidewalks so as not to reduce the sidewalk path to less than 4 feet. UDC 7.4.6 Sidewalks that are 6 and a half feet or wider will not require adjacent parking spaces to have wheel stops 4. The minimum standard parking space size is 8.5 FT X 18 FT UDC 7.4.6 if 17-feet would like to be proposed, a Parking Design Modification Request (PDMR) will be required to reduce the requirement from 18-feet to 17-feet. UDC 7.4.10 It will be required that you contact Loran Shamis Principal Planner at Loran.Shamis@tucsonaz.gov about receiving the PDMR application file.

| 01/02/2026 | Site Landscape Standard | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT REVIEWER: CHAD KELLER, RLA SITE LANDSCAPE/NATIVE PLANT PRESERVATION SECTION PROJECT: NEW 3-STORY, 90,000 SF PERSONAL STORAGE BUILDING ACTIVITY NO: TD-DEV-1225-00301 ADDRESS: 5493 S CALLE SANTA CRUZ ZONING: C-3 COMMERCIAL ZONE LAND USE: MULTIUNIT STORAGE FACILITY 01.02.2026 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 OF THE SITE LANDSCAPE AND NPPO SECTION REVIEW COMMENTS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED. SITE LANDSCAPE/NPPO SECTION COMMENTS: 1. At the western boundary and the 6-foot vegetative screen: Can that area include a contour that depicts a 6-inch depth WHIA. This new depressed area can be included as part of WHIA-1 square footage. 2. It appears that a portion of the building roof is draining to the west. The pink dashed line representing the subwatershed should include a portion of the building roof top square footage as indicated by the flow arrows, downspouts and splashpads on the west side of the building. 3. Some flow line arrows shown on the CRWH Plan don’t match what is being shown on the grading plan. Additional flow arrows should be added to the CRWH Plan and grading plan that indicate the flow direction around the west side of the building toward WHIA-1 basin at the south of the building. 4. The east side of the building scupper and tree planting island locations are not matching throughout the plan set. The grading plan shows the scuppers at an angle draining to the two central tree planting islands. Adjust the landscape plans to match the line work on the civil plans. 5. The parking lot planting islands to the east are existing and currently have canopy trees. Is the plan to remove the existing trees due to the curbing removal and redesign of the islands and replace with what is proposed on the planting plan? If the proposed trees are in addition to the existing, then please show the existing tree grayed back and called out on the planting plan. 6. The planting islands to the east of the building should be depressed even if just for rainfall only catchment. The grading plan does not indicate that the areas are depressed. Please add spot elevations at the bottom of the planting island areas indicating the 6-inch depression and notes to the grading plan and CRWH plan that state - all new planting areas should be depressed 6 inches from top of curb to the top of the inorganic ground cover if there are no curb cuts provided. 7. The native plants in the existing planting islands may be related to an overall NPPO/mitigation plan provided in the past for the entire site. If the trees are going to be removed, then please provide explanation for how the site is going to comply with the NPP Ordinance or provide a NPPO Waiver with the next submittal. Attached below is a link to a new fillable NPPO Waiver for your use. https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/pdsd/documents/applicationsforms/nppoapp-2025-v.2-fillable-1.pdf Thank you.

| 12/31/2025 | External Reviewers - Tucson Airport Authority Standard | REVIEW COMPLETED | December 30, 2025 Planning and Development Services City of Tucson 201 North Stone Avenue Tucson, AZ. 85701 RE: TD-DEV-1225-00301, 1st Submittal, Tucson Spectrum Storage / 5493 S. Calle Santa Cruz, Tucson, AZ. 85706, Received December 9, 2025 To whom this may concern, Thank you for the opportunity to comment on TD-DEV-1225-00301, 1st Submittal, a development plan for a new personal storage use at 5493 S. Calle Santa Cruz. This development is located in the S.E. quarter of the S.W. quarter of Section 2, Township 15S, Range 13E, of the Gila and Salt River Meridian. The development site occupies parcel number 137-05-5400, covers approximately 2.06 ± acres, and is zoned as Commercial 3 Zone (C-3). The nearest major roadway intersection is South Calle Santa Cruz and West Drexel Road, approximately 1,200 feet to the southwest 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. The Tucson Airport Authority approves the 1st submittal of this project and is not requiring a resubmittal of this project. 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 2.16 miles northwest 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 – Regional and Global Positioning policy 4 (RG-4). 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 |
