| Historic | REVIEW COMPLETED | The Project Area is not within an archaeologically sensitive area, and the sediments have been significantly impacted by development activities in the 20th Century and modern era. The Project Area is not within a Historic Preservation Zone or National Register Historic District, though the Jefferson Park Historic District is adjacent. Demolitions of historical-period structures are proposed. The Historic Preservation Office has already conducted minor review on these structures. | |||

| IPC - Site Zoning | REVIEW COMPLETED | FROM: Fernando Garcia PDSD Site Zoning Review PROJECT: TP-ENT-1025-00021 Address: 1602 N Vine Av, Tucson, AZ Existing Use: Utilities – Distribution System TRANSMITTAL DATE: November 6, 2025 COMMENTS: 1. Development must comply with the Administrative Manual Section 2-06 - Development Package, and 2-03 -PDP. Please ensure the next submittal has all the standards addressed here: https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/tucson/latest/tucson_az_udc/0-0-0-8416 2. A “Utilities Land Use Group – Distribution System” is a permitted use in R-2 zoning subject to a Zoning Examiner Special Exception Procedure and use-specific standards 4.9.11.A.1, .2, .5, .8, .9, .11, .12. 3. Per UDC 6.4.5.C.2.a and use-specific standard 4.9.11.A.1, and A.2, a minimum setback of 20’ is required from the screen/wall to the street property line along N Vine Av, a local street. Per use-specific standards 4.9.11.A.1 and A.2, from the northern and southern property lines, the portion of the eastern property line not adjacent to PAD-28, adjacent to residential zones, the minimum required setback from the screen/wall to the property line is 20’. This is not clearly apparent on the submitted drawings. 4. Per use-specific standard 4.9.11.A.9, the site must be enclosed on all sides with a masonry wall or compact evergreen hedge, not less than six feet, nor more than ten feet, in height. The submitted plans indicate a wall height of 13.5’. Any modifications to the use specific standards will require a modification of standards from the Zoning Examiner or Board of Adjustment variance. Reach out to Mark Castro for more information at mark.castro@tucsonaz.gov regarding a variance. Reach out to the Entitlements Team at jay.olivas@tucsonaz.gov to discuss which option may be warranted or required. 5. The comments provided are preliminary and are not to be assumed as a complete review of the proposal. During the Development Package review process, a full review will be made by Zoning to assure compliance with the applicable UDC development criteria and Technical Standards, as well as being in substantial compliance with the approved pre-development plan. If you have any questions, please contact me at fernando.garcia8@tucsonaz.gov. |

| Site Landscape | REVIEW COMPLETED | PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT REVIEWER: CHAD KELLER, RLA SITE LANDSCAPE/NATIVE PLANT PRESERVATION SECTION PROJECT: SPECIAL EXCEPTION LAND USE PRE-APPLICATION CONFERENCE: 138 KILOVOLT SUBSTATION PROJECT TUCSON ELECTRIC POWER ACTIVITY NUMBER: TP-ENT-1025-00021 RELATED TO ACTIVITY NO: TP-PRE-0625-00115 ADDRESS: 1602 N VINE AV ZONING: R-2 RESIDENCE ZONE 12.19.2025 THIS PLAN HAS BEEN REVIEWED FOR COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE DEVELOPMENT CRITERIA IN THE CITY OF TUCSON UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE (UDC) ADMINISTRATIVE MANUAL (AM) SECTION 2-11 AND TECHNICAL MANUAL (TM) SECTION FOR LANDSCAPE, NATIVE PLANTS, AND WATER HARVESTING. THE COMMENTS PROVIDED ARE PRELIMINARY AND ARE NOT TO BE ASSUMED AS A COMPLETE REVIEW OF THE PROPOSAL. DURING THE DEVELOPMENT PACKAGE REVIEW PROCESS, A FULL REVIEW WILL BE MADE BY THE SITE LANDSCAPE AND NPPO SECTION TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE UDC DEVELOPMENT CRITERIA AND TECHNICAL STANDARDS. SITE LANDSCAPE/NPPO COMMENTS FOR ACTIVITY NO: TP-ENT-1025-00021 1. The DRB materials board Appendix E indicates that the landscape border along N Vine St. will meet and exceed requirements. This additional square footage of street landscape border area could be counted toward the excess landscape area needed for an offset of square footage that would need to be shown in a DDO application for relief from the street landscape border required along Ring St. per the previous comment number 3 below. PREVIOUS COMMENTS RELATED TO ACTIVITY NO: TP-PRE-0625-00115 1. It appears that a street landscape border is planned along Vine Av. With the submittal of the development package for this site, depress the street landscape border areas for rainwater harvesting. 2. A landscape plan is required per UDC 7.6.2.B.1-b. The Unified Development Code requires all new development, or an expansion of greater than 25% of an existing development to submit a landscape plan, UDC 7.6.2. Preparation of the landscape plan shall adhere to UDC 7.6.4 and Administrative Manual 2-10. 3. A street landscape border is required along N Vine Av and along N Ring St per UDC 7.6.4.C-2 and Table 7.6.4-1. See UDC 7.6.4.C for landscape border requirements. Utility Services along MS&R and non-MS&R requires a 10’ street landscape border. If it is determined that this standard cannot be met due to the nature of the development, then a DDO or a variance to the UDC site landscape requirements are viable alternatives. Please reach out to Mark Castro with PDSD for more information on the variance process. Mark.Castro@tucsonaz.gov 4. DTM review is required for all planting and irrigation in the ROW prior to the approval of the development package. Reach out to David Marhefka (david.marhefka@tucsonaz.gov) if necessary for this project. Thank you. Chad Keller, RLA Landscape Architect chad.keller@tucsonaz.gov 520.837.4923 |
