| 03/31/2026 | External Reviewers - Tucson Airport Authority Standard | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | March 29, 2026 Planning and Development Services City of Tucson 201 North Stone Avenue Tucson, AZ. 85701 RE: TD-DEV-1225-00310, 2 nd Submittal, Proposed construction of a shell/speculative concrete tilt-up building and associated site work / 3430 E. Valencia Rd, Tucson, AZ. 85756, Received March 9, 2026 To whom this may concern, Thank you for the opportunity to comment on TD-DEV-1225-00310, 2 nd Submittal, a development plan for new warehouse at 3430 E. Valencia Rd. This development is located in the N.E. quarter of the N.W. quarter of Section 16, Township 15S, Range 14E, of the Gila and Salt River Meridian. The development site occupies parcel numbers 140-41-0020, 140-41-0070, 140-41-0080, 140-41-0030, 140-41-0040, 140-41-0050, and 140-41-0060, covers approximately 9.64 ± acres, and is zoned as Light Industrial Zone (I-1). The nearest major roadway intersection is South Palo Verde Road and East Valencia Road, approximately 100 feet to the northeast 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 is requiring a resubmittal of this project. The below conditions of approval must be added into the revised notes of the development plan. 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 Form 7460. Please file Form 7460 at https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external/portal.jsp” 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 0.66 miles 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 |

Previous comment #13 not addressed correctly. I would refer to Figure 16 in TSM 10-01.9.0 in regard to SVT expectations for entrances. Valencia RD is designated as an Arterial RD & Palo Verde RD is designated as a local RD. These designations will be used for Table 5.3 a. Valencia as an Arterial Road would require a 345’ Near Side and 125’ far side SVTs b. Palo Verde RD as a local road would require a 185’ near side and 110’ far side SVTs 2. Previous comment #24 & #25 not addressed – it appears the resubmission did not include a resubmission of the drainage report with the required inspection and maintenance sheets. 3. Remove the quotations and administrative manual code references from the General notes provided on the cover sheet (G0.0) 4. Previous comment #15 not addressed – sufficient pedestrian refuge areas must be provided along the West and East sides of the proposed structure per TSM 7-01.3.B.2. Id suggest referring to Figure 6 in TSM 7-01.9.0 as reference for expectations. 5. The provided trash enclosure detail – the required depth should be 12-feet, not 10-feet 6. After reviewing the Basin descriptor details as well as the significant grade drop associated with the basins – it will be required that security barriers be provided around all basins. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Marco Contreras at Marco.contreras@tucsonaz.gov |
