| Entitlements | REVIEW COMPLETED | SUBJECT: REZONING – PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT SERVICES REPORT TP-ENT-0523-00021 Tire Mart – E Travel Plaza Way C-2 to C-3 (Ward 5) Issue – This is a request by Erin Harris of Kimley-Horn Engineering, to rezone approximately 7.7 acres from C-2 (Commercial) to C-3 (Commercial) zoning. The site is currently occupied by a Pilot Travel Center. The rezoning area is located at the northeast corner of Craycroft Road and the Interstate-10 frontage road. This area contains no streets identified in the City of Tucson Major Streets and Routes Map (MS&R). The rezoning area is adjacent to Interstate-10 at Craycroft Road. The preliminary development plan (PDP) proposes a one-story building, 20 feet high with a building footprint of 3,500 square feet. The building would be constructed for a new Southern Tire Mart location, adding a secondary land use, “Trade Service and Repair, Major.” This is not an allowable use in C-2 zoning, therefore a rezoning to C-3 would be required to proceed with this development. 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: Pilot Truck Stop, parking area 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. Proposed: Commercial C-3: This zone provides for mid-rise development of general commercial uses that serve the community and region, located downtown or in other major activity center areas. 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: North: Zoned C-2; undeveloped land, R-1 residential beginning 500 feet away from project site. South: Zoned C-2; Easement for Interstate-10 East: Zoned C-2; Commercial truck sales West: Zoned C-2; Truck Stop, easement for Interstate-10 Previous Cases on the Property: None Related Cases: Applicant’s Request – C-3 (Commercial) zone is requested for development of a new Tire Mart location. Planning Considerations – Plan Tucson and the Rincon/Southeast Subregional Plan provide policy direction for the rezoning site. Plan Tucson: Plan policy is provided by Plan Tucson, which contains a variety of elements that are broken down into four focus areas - the Social Environment, the Economic Environment, the Natural Environment, and the Built Environment. Each focus area contains specific goals, while each element contains specific policies. The project site is located in an area identified on Plan Tucson’s Future Growth Scenario Map as “Potential Annexation Areas” Building Block. The site is also located within the I-10 Technology Corridor in the vicinity of the Port of Tucson site on Wilmot Road, and several business centers. Plan Tucson policy supports development capitalizing on “Tucson’s strategic location by maintaining and enhancing Tucson as an international port and center for commerce and logistics” (Sec 3.68, Policy RG2). Commercial facilities enhancing maintenance and safety of trucking and logistics vehicles supports this need. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the following land use, transportation, and urban design policies contained within the Plan: • LT28.1.11: Support the retention and expansion of existing business. Rincon/Southeast Subregional Plan: The proposed development is located within the Rincon/Southeast Subregional Plan, which provide the following policy direction: I.A.2.a: Applicants for rezonings within this subregion shall submit an Environmental Resource Report prepared in accordance with City of Tucson Development Standard 1-07.0. I.A.2.b: The development plan shall be based on the site analysis and implement plan policies through sensitive design and mitigation techniques that respond to site features and to the character of the surrounding neighborhood. I.B.9: As appropriate to the development proposal and site characteristics, archeological procedures specified in this section. may be required. I.C.2.b: Safe and accessible pedestrian circulation within the development shall be provided. Flexible design solutions to pedestrian circulation must meet the intent of the City of Tucson Development Standard 2.08.0, Pedestrian Access, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. Public Input – On Thursday, April 20, 2023, at 5:00 pm the applicant held the required neighborhood meeting. The meeting was held via Microsoft Teams. The project team was present, and no members of the public signed on for the meeting. The meeting was concluded at 6:00 pm. Design Considerations Land Use Compatibility – The rezoning request to C-3 is to allow the construction of a new Southern Tire Mart location with a buildable area of 8,500 square feet. Access to the building will be through rolling garage-style doors that allow vehicles to drive in and through the service bays. The project site is located in a portion of the existing parking area for the Service Station on the property. The nearest residential use is the Littletown neighborhood, which consists of single-family homes in an R-1 zone. There is an undeveloped piece of land associated with the truck dealership to the east, which creates a 500-foot buffer between the development and the nearest home. As the project is located roughly in the center of the 7.7-acre parcel, the current setbacks will be unchanged. The site is surrounded by a truck dealership and Pilot Travel Center and is in close proximity to the nearest exit from Interstate-10. Another truck stop is further west across Craycroft Road. The anticipated traffic counts for the proposed use are 24 peak hour trips over one day. No traffic improvements are proposed. The project’s height is compatible with surrounding development and is consistent with the existing truck fueling area behind the truck stop, and also with the truck dealership to the east. The project will have no effect on existing viewsheds due to the compatible height of the new building, and the height of Interstate-10 to the south. Landscaping/Screening – The project includes improvements to the landscape border along East Travel Plaza Way and also the Interstate-10 Frontage Road, incorporating drought-resistant cactus and vegetation. The project also includes the installation of ADA compliant sidewalk ramps along Travel Plaza Way. No other landscaping is proposed. Additional screening is not provided, given the surrounding land use and distance from any residential land use, the enhanced landscaping is likely enough. 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 spotlighting will be installed. The preliminary development package includes no information on signage. All signage will be designed and permitted in accordance with UDC standards. Drainage/Grading – The preliminary grading plan shows that grading improvements are minimal due to the already built-out nature of the site. The overall topography slopes to the north, and a FEMA X flood zone begins in the area between the proposed development and edge of the parking area. The proposed development is located outside this floodplain. Road Improvements/Vehicular Access/Circulation – This project will have access from Craycroft Road to Travel Plaza Way. On-site circulation is through the existing parking area. The Tire Mart vehicle bays are one-way and pass through the entire building, exiting on the other side. Existing Parking Area Access lanes and curb cuts to Travel Plaza Way are already in excess of 50 feet wide, no changes to these widths are proposed. No street improvements other than the replacement of broken ADA sidewalk ramps are proposed. Per UDC standards, 28 parking spaces are required, and 59 are provided. Two short-term bicycle spaces are provided outside of the building, and two long-term bicycle spaces are provided inside the store. The preliminary plan shows no new solid waste facilities. There are existing facilities at the truck stop, which may be sufficient although no waste calculations are provided. Conclusion – The proposed rezoning is consistent with, and supported by, the policy direction provided in Plan Tucson and the Rincon/Southeast Subregional Plan. Subject to compliance with the attached preliminary conditions, approval of the requested rezoning is appropriate. |

Travel Plaza Way Rezoning From C-2 to C-3 Compatibility Design Report, March 2023 Tax Parcel #140-37-068J; 8.41 acres The Planning Unit of the Pima County Regional Wastewater Reclamation Department (PCRWRD) has reviewed the request and offers the following comments for your use. The request is to rezone the subject property located south of the intersection of S. Craycroft Rd and E.

The applicant needs to obtain a capacity availability letter indicating the proposed connection point(s) to a public sewer and the capacity demand for the development. Allocation of capacity will be made by the Type III Capacity Response. PCRWRD has no objections 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. The owner(s) shall complete the construction of all necessary public and/or private sewerage facilities as required by all applicable agreements with Pima County, and all applicable regulations, including the Clean Water Act and those promulgated by ADEQ, before treatment and conveyance capacity in the downstream public sewerage system is permanently committed for any new development within the rezoning area.
