| Entitlements | REVIEW COMPLETED | DATE: May 22, 2024 For June 6, 2024 Hearing TO: John Iurino FROM: Kristina Swallow Zoning Examiner Planning & Development Services Director SUBJECT: REZONING – PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT SERVICES REPORT TP-ENT-0424-0009 Speedway & Rosemont Rezoning – E Speedway Blvd, R-2 and C-2 to C2 (Ward 6) Issue – This is a request by Lazarus & Silvyn, P.C. to rezone approximately 0.69 acres of property. The property is currently split-zoned between C-2 (Commercial) and R-2 (Residential) zoning. The applicant proposes to consolidate the two parcels and rezone the southern portion to C-2 to allow for a commercial use across the entire property. The subject location is 5050 E Speedway Blvd, at the southwest corner of the intersection of Speedway Blvd and Rosemont Blvd. Speedway Blvd is identified as an arterial route in this area, and Rosemont Blvd is identified as a collector, per the Major Streets and Routes Plan. The proposed preliminary development plan (PDP) shows two potential concepts for the site. One plan proposes a food service use with an approximately 2,250 square-foot building in the northeast quarter of the site, with a height of 20 feet. The second PDP shows an automotive repair bay, 4,830 square feet with a 20-foot height in the eastern half of the property. Rezoning the southern portion of the site to C-2 and consolidating the parcels allows for the site to be meaningfully developed, as the current zoning and parcel sizes limit the development potential of this location. Public Outreach – On Wednesday, March 13, 2024 at 6:00pm the applicant held a neighborhood meeting at the Ward 6 Council Office. The meeting was noticed by mailers sent out two weeks in advance, with labels provided by the Planning and Development Services Department using County Assessor’s parcel data. The project team and approximately 18 neighbors were in attendance. The attendees asked questions about traffic impacts, screening, and commercial use of residential streets, all of which were addressed by the applicant team. Planning & Development Services Recommendation – The Planning & Development Services Department recommends approval of C-2 zoning, subject to the attached preliminary conditions. Background Information Existing Land Use: There is currently a bar (The Bambi) on the larger of the two parcels, and the smaller parcel closer to the intersection is often used by a food truck. Zoning Descriptions: Existing: Commercial C-2: This zone provides for general commercial uses that serve the community and region. Residential and select other agriculture, civic, recreational, and utility uses may also be permitted that provide reasonable compatibility with adjoining residential uses. Residential R-2: This zone provides for medium density, single-family and multifamily, residential development, together with schools, parks, and other public services necessary for an urban residential environment. Select other uses, such as day care and urban agriculture, are permitted that provide reasonable compatibility with adjoining residential uses. Proposed: Commercial C-2: This zone provides for general commercial uses that serve the community and region. Residential and select other agriculture, civic, recreational, and utility uses may also be permitted that provide reasonable compatibility with adjoining residential uses. Surrounding Zones and Land Uses: The project location is split zoned, and the surrounding zoning reflects this, as the C-2 portion on the northern portion of the site has C-2 zoning to the north, east and west, and the R-2 zoned southern portion of the site has R-2 zoning to the east, south, and west. The following land uses exist around the project location. North: Speedway Boulevard, with an office opposite. East: Rosemont Boulevard, retail use opposite. South: Single family residential across 1st Street. West: Automotive sales along Speedway Blvd, with single-family residential facing 1st Street. Previous Cases on the Property: None. Related Cases: None. Applicant’s Request – C-2 (Commercial) zone is requested for development of either a food service or automotive repair use. Planning Considerations – Plan Tucson and the Broadway-Craycroft Area Plan provide policy direction for the rezoning site. Plan Tucson: The project site is located in an area identified on Plan Tucson’s Future Growth Scenario Map as Mixed-Use Corridors building block. Mixed-Use Corridors provide a higher-intensity mix of jobs, services, and housing along major streets. The business and residences within these corridors will be served by a mix of high-frequency transit options, as well as pedestrian and bicycle facilities. This building block promotes commercial consolidation in conjunction with street widening as a means to preserve the vitality of the street frontage and adjacent neighborhood, and the placement of neighborhood commercial uses at the intersection of arterial and collector streets. Broadway-Craycroft Area Plan (BCAP): The BCAP Land Use Concept Map indicates the subject parcels are appropriate for commercial consolidation. BCAP, Policy 2 encourages non-residential development which is cohesive and integrated with adjacent non-residential use. Section 2C supports the rezoning request as the parcels are bounded on at least two sides by non-residential uses. In addition, most of the area currently zoned R-2 will be used for parking, maneuvering, and landscaping. The proposed uses also include a 10-foot landscaping buffer from the west and south. Design Considerations The applicant has submitted two preliminary development plans, for either food service or automotive repair use, both with a building height of 20 feet. The food service plan shows one 2,250 square-foot building and the automotive repair use shows a 4,830 square-foot building. Both are situated to the northeast corner of the parcel, with room given for landscape buffering, and a drive-thru lane in the food service case. In both cases vehicle access and parking is along the west and south sides of the parcel, with vehicular access from Speedway Blvd and Rosemont Blvd. Trash enclosures are to the immediate south of the building in both cases. Land Use Compatibility – The rezoning request to C-2 is to allow for the consolidation of the two parcels with C-2 zoning across the entire area to allow for meaningful commercial development. The PDP Conceptual sites show that a 10-foot landscape buffer is to be set on the property edge to the west and south, and no access is proposed to 1st street. The proposal shows a 5-foot screen wall along the southern edge of the parcel as well. Solid waste enclosures are not located in a way to create a nuisance to neighboring properties. The placement of the proposed buildings is as far away from any adjacent residential use as possible, limiting the impact of noise intrusion and preserving privacy. The site plans show that considerations have been made to adjoining uses within the constraints of the parcel size and access point locations. Driveway placement on Speedway Blvd is limited due to the proximity of the intersection with Rosemont Blvd, which limits building placement to roughly the northeast quarter of the parcel. This is reflected in both variations of the preliminary development plan. In the food service proposal, drive-thru lanes are along Rosemont, with windows and speakers facing east towards existing commercial uses. The waste enclosure further shields the drive-thru speaker noise from the residential use to the west. The automotive repair use has bay doors open to the west as bays facing east are not feasible within the constraints imposed upon the site. Most of the doors are facing the automotive sales use closer to Speedway Blvd, while three of them still open towards the residential parcel to the west. The CMU wall and landscape border along the west edge of the parcel are designed to minimize noise intrusion to neighboring residential use, and a condition of the rezoning will be limited hours of operation for automotive service uses. Signage and Outdoor Lighting – The project will comply with the outdoor lighting code, and all onsite lighting will be shielded and directed downward. No bright lights or spot lighting will be installed. Final lighting types and locations will be detailed in the development review process. Signage on the property will be subject to the sign standards of the Unified Development Code. Drainage/Grading – Post-development drainage of the sight aims to maintain existing drainage characteristics. The inclusion of stormwater detention basins on-site will reduce the impact to areas around the perimeter of the property. Road Improvements/Vehicular Access/Circulation – This project will have access from Speedway Boulevard and Rosemont Boulevard. The food service use is expected to generate 1,052 daily trips throughout a typical weekday, with an AM peak of 100 per hour, and PM peak of 74 trips per hour. Automotive use would generate much less traffic in comparison, with only 150 total daily trips. Sidewalks are proposed along the north and east edges of the property. Per UDC Standards, the food service use would require 23 parking spaces, and the automotive use would require 17. There are 27 parking spaces proposed in both the provided preliminary development plans. Conclusion – The proposed rezoning is consistent with, and supported by, the policy direction provided in Plan Tucson. It is also compliant with the Broadway-Craycroft Area Plan. Subject to compliance with the attached preliminary conditions, approval of the requested rezoning is appropriate. |

The property consists of two parcels at the southwest corner of E Speedway Blvd and N Rosemont Blvd. The northern portion has the existing bar building connected to a public sewer. The owner proposes to consolidate the two parcels and rezone the property to C-2 across the entire property. Potential future uses include a drive-thru restaurant or automotive services. A public sewer system surrounds the property. Necessary connections will be defined and established as part of the permitting process. The capacity allocation for future development will be provided through a Type III Capacity Response process. PCRWRD has no objection to the proposed rezoning but adds the following wastewater conditions: REZONING CONDITIONS Should the City of Tucson Mayor and Council be inclined to approve this rezoning, the Pima County Regional Wastewater Reclamation Department (PCRWRD) recommends the following rezoning conditions: 1. The owner(s) shall not construe any action by Pima County as a commitment to provide sewer service to any new development within the rezoning area until Pima County executes an agreement with the owner(s) to that effect. 2. The owner(s) shall obtain written documentation from the Pima County Regional Wastewater Reclamation Department (PCRWRD) stating that treatment and conveyance capacity is available for any new development within the proposed rezoning area, no more than 90 days before submitting any tentative plat, development plan, preliminary sewer layout, sewer improvement plan, or request for building permit for review. Should treatment and / or conveyance capacity not be available at that time, the owner(s) shall enter into a written agreement addressing the option of funding, designing and constructing the necessary improvements to Pima County’s public sewerage system at his or her sole expense or cooperatively with other affected parties. All such improvements shall be designed and constructed as directed by the PCRWRD. 3. The owner(s) shall time all new development within the rezoning area to coincide with the availability of treatment and conveyance capacity in the downstream public sewerage system. 4. The owner(s) shall connect all development within the rezoning area to Pima County’s public sewer system at the location and in the manner specified by the PCRWRD in its capacity response letter and as specified by PCRWRD at the time of review of the tentative plat, development plan, preliminary sewer layout, sewer construction plan, or request for building permit. 5. The owner(s) shall fund, design and construct all off-site and on-site sewers necessary to serve the rezoning area, in the manner specified at the time of review of the tentative plat, development plan, preliminary sewer layout, sewer construction plan or request for building permit. 6.

| IPC - Traffic Engineering | REVIEW COMPLETED | Looking at the PDPs, it appears the Speedway driveway location is being improved, as it is being shifted further to the west, away from the signalized intersection, with the proposed consolidation of the two parcels. As documented in the Rezoning Analysis document, potential trip generation is very different between a fast food service use and an automotive repair use (100 peak hour trips versus 15 peak hour trips). If the project is to move forward with the fast food use, a Traffic Impact Analysis should be included with the development package submittal. Thank you! | |||

| Signs | REVIEW COMPLETED | RE: signage information / review For: proposed rezoning from R-2 to C-2 AT: 5050 E Speedway Bl Case: TP-ENT-0424-00009 Date: 5/8/24 Reviewer: Heather.Thrall@tucsonaz.gov Codes applicable to signs: Unified Development Code 7A, Sign Standards, National Electrical Code (NEC) 600, Tucson-Pima County Outdoor Lighting Code (OLC), International Building Code (IBC) 2018 1. UDC: Acknowledged rezoning material was thorough and provided a reference to signage within all code allowances. Thank you. 2. No billboards are present within the site. 3. The existing building, an alcohol beverage service establishment, would be scheduled for demolition to allow for new construction of either a food service or auto repair use. Please note with the demolition of the existing establishment, removal of all signage on the site is required (nonconforming roof and detached signs).(Electrical for detached sign location may be possible to cap and preserve for a new detached sign, depending on site layout design.) 4. Sign area calculations are based off street frontages. As such, the site would have three street frontages of which to base sign area; Speedway, Rosemont and 1st Street. While sign area ratios are 3 square feet per linear front of development frontage, a secondary cap of 30% maximum coverage of building elevations with signage display is also in place. (Drive thru service signs and similar do not count toward allowed sign types nor allowed sign area, and require review for building and outdoor lighting code.) 5. Freestanding signs can be placed on Speedway and Rosemont, with one sign allowance deducted off the Rosemont side if any freestanding sign sought off 1st Street (a local street serving a residential area). 6. Staff has two recommendations for this development pertaining to signs: A. Limit placement of any type of detached sign visible from a right of way to Speedway Boulevard and Rosemont Boulevard street frontages. B. No signage shall be placed on the south building elevation. Should anyone desire to discuss signage allowances they may reach me at Heather.Thrall@tucsonaz.gov |

| Transportation - Bike/Ped | REVIEW COMPLETED | Thank you for the opportunity to review. Here are my comments: 1. Design driveways with aprons (preferred) instead of curb returns, or reduce curb return radii to no more than 15 feet on Rosemont and no more than 20’ on Speedway unless autoturn analysis indicates that a larger radius is required. (Street Design Guide (SDG) table 5.2) a. Curb returns on driveways are not required; they are optional per Technical Standards Manual sec. 10-01.4.3.B. b. Driveways should be designed for 10 mph turning speeds, and driveways designed with curb returns should use the smallest practical curb return radius to encourage slow turning speeds and reduce the time pedestrians are exposed to turning vehicles. (SDG pg. 3-16). c. Note that Speedway is classified as an Urban Thoroughfare and Rosemont as an Urban Connector for the purposes of compliance with SDG guidelines. 2. Driveway widths should be 24 feet or less per SDG pg. 3-16, unless an autoturn analysis shows this to be insufficient. 3. Where sidewalks cross driveways, the sidewalk should be dominant, maintaining the level, slope, and material of the sidewalk. This applies whether aprons or curb returns are used. (SDG pg. 3-14) 4. Short term bicycle parking should be located as close as feasible to main entrance of building, and no more than 50’ away as measured along the most direct pedestrian access route (Unified Development Code sec. 7.4.9.C.2.a). a. Although building entrances are not shown on the site plans, it appears likely that the bicycle parking as depicted in the site plan will be around the corner from, and out of sight of, the main entrance; this should be avoided. 5. Avoid having accessible route pass in front of trash enclosures. If this is unavoidable, reduce the number of transitions between asphalt and concrete in the accessible route that are likely to present accessibility issues as pavement ages and asphalt expands and contracts. 6. Preferred width of planting/amenity zone between sidewalk and curb on Rosemont is 6-10’, with a minimum of 4’, per SDG table 2.4. Recommend providing at least 6’. 7. Preferred width of planting/amenity zone between sidewalk and curb on Speedway is 8-12’, with a minimum of 6’, per SDG table 2.4. Recommend providing at least 8’. 8. Recommend requiring developer to provide denser landscape screen on west and south sides of property. Either use trees with a larger mature canopy or space trees closer together. 9. Recommend requiring developer to provide trees in the planting/amenity zones between the sidewalk and curb along Speedway and along Rosemont. 10. Recommend requiring developer to continue sidewalk south to 1st Street and along 1st Street across site frontage. 11. Recommend requiring developer to provide directional curb ramps or a blended transition on SW corner of Speedway and Rosemont, which are preferred over diagonal ramps, per SDG pg. 5-25 and PROWAG sec.
