Comments:

1. TSM 10-01.3.3 Sidewalks are required along the entire street frontage of all properties with developments that expand floor area, site area, or vehicular use area of 25% or more. A sidewalk will be required along N Freming Ave.
2. TSM 10-01.4.1 All projects which require a new sidewalk will provide a sidewalk with a minimum width of five feet along local streets and six feet along collector and arterial streets. The new sidewalk should be 5’ wide.
3. A pedestrian easement will be required if the new sidewalk is on private property. Contact Bob Beecher for assistance and a template for an easement dedication. Bob.Beecher@tucsonaz.gov
4. TSM 10-01.4.1 The running slope of the sidewalk should not exceed 1:20 unless the street grade exceeds this maximum. Then the sidewalk must conform to ramp requirements of 1:12 max running slope. See TSM 10-01.4.2 for ramp specifications.
5. If a new driveway apron for the parking lot on the east side of the building is necessary to meet the sidewalk requirement, please reference P. A. G. Standard Details 206 in the design. You can also consult the SDG 3 – 15 for preferred / recommended designs.

Case: TP-ENT-0623-00026
Date: 7/13/23
Reviewer: H. Thrall (Heather.Thrall@tucsonaz.gov)

Codes: Unified Development Code Section 7A

1) No existing billboards / proposed billboards

2) Rezoning changes the sign district from residential with non-residential use allowances to a commercial district. This increases the sign area ratio from a flat 100 square feet in sign area to a ratio of 3 square feet of sign area for each 1 linear foot of street frontage. No more than 30 percent of the building elevations may have signage.

3) A monument sign is allowed.

Please reach out to me if you have any comments or would like code information.
Site Engineering REVIEW COMPLETED 1. No new impervious surfaces are planned for this property so no change in storm water detention or retention will be required as a condition of rezoning.
