| Entitlements | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | TP-ENT-1122-00045 29th and Swan PAD Entitlements Section Comments Pre-PAD Review – 1st Review Due December 29, 2023 1. See comments from Davis Monthan AFB – DMAFB would not support Multi-Family Residential development in the PAD location, due to the high likelihood of noise complaints, but also the potential for more catastrophic impacts in the event of an unexpected aircraft incident. 2. Pima County Regional Flood Control has identified there is a 75-foot erosion setback from the top of the diversion channel to the south, which should be noted in setback descriptions. The description of the Tucson Diversion Channel states the flow is “Easterly.” This should be revised to correctly state the direction of flow. 3. General notes in the PAD document and future submitted plans should include “According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Notice Criteria Tool, no Notice Criteria are exceeded. Applicants are therefore not required to file FAA Form 7460. However, if the use of cranes is anticipated during development and construction activities, the applicant must file FAA Form 7460 at least 45 days in advance of such use, to provide the applicant with sufficient time to respond to any concerns identified by the FAA. Please file Form 7460 at https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external/portal.jsp.” 4. In the Cultural Resources section, include the following language: "If any archaeological materials are encountered during construction, all ground disturbing activities must cease in the immediate vicinity of the discovery, and the Tucson Historic Preservation Office must be contacted to assess the find." 5. Please see ROW Engineering comments: a. A PIA is going to be required for this project. https://www.tucsonaz.gov/tdot/private-improvement-agreement Contact TDOT Engineering for information. DOT-Engineering-Review-Section@tucsonaz.gov Or call. 520-791-5100 Jesus Villezcas b. When the DP is submitted, please provide the PIA number for approval of the DP c. Also, a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) will be required. 6. On page IV-2, minor amendments remove item c, “Addition of uses under the Residential Use Group with written consent from DMAFB.” 7. PAD document, design materials, should address using materials that can help mitigate heat island affect; provide more discussion on climate sustainability measures. 8. Concept plans should include more information on rainwater harvesting. Shade trees in parking areas should be indicated. 9. Consider incorporating rainwater harvesting landscaping and pedestrian access to create comfortable alternatives to driving and reduce the urban heat island effect. |

This will be something DMAFB would not support given the very close proximity to the end of ourrunway and even closer to our helicopter landing pads on north end of our ramp. This will more than likely resultin higher noise complaints that we already received, and increase the potenti al for more catastrophic impactswere there to be an unexpected aircraft incident. Exhibit III.C: Concept plan shows a proposed setback but no landscape border. We would recommend a landscapeborder for more of a buff er from the base if the existi ng diversion channel landscape to be removed. The remainder of this proposed PAD and concepts seem to be taking into considerati on the AEZ, AHZ and ADCs. Our main concern would be residenti al uses. Kacey B.

| External Reviewers - PC RFCD | REVIEW COMPLETED | TO: John Beal FROM: Patricia Gilbert PDSD Hydrologist III SUBJECT: 29th and Swan Planned Area Development The Regional Flood Control District (District) has received and reviewed the request to rezone this property to a Planned Area Development. District staff has reviewed the submitted document and has the following informational comments; 1. The project is not located Federal Emergency Management Agency Special Flood Hazard Area or within mapped Pima County Regulated Riparian Habitat where the vegetation within the mapping is protected. 2. The project at the northeast corner of the property is impacted by a local floodplain as determined by the City of Tucson Arroyo Chico Basin Study. There is also a mapped regulatory wash with an associated setback of 25’ with an approximate 100-year peak discharge of less than 500 cfs. The District recommends at the time of permitting the impact from the project should be analyzed to determine no adverse impacts to 29th Street and adjacent properties. 3. This project is adjacent to the Tucson Diversion Channel. The Tucson Diversion Channel has an associated erosion hazard setback of 75’ and an approximate 100-year peak discharge of up to 5000 cfs. The Planned Area Development report states the flow in the Tucson Diversion Channel is “easterly.” This is not correct and the report should be revised to correctly state the direction of flow. The District has full maintenance responsibility of the Tucson Diversion Channel and any impact will require review and approval from the District and from the United States Army Corp of Engineers. 4. The project boundaries does not have public easements where the Pima County Regional Flood Control District has responsibility. Therefore, the District has no objection to this rezoning. PG |

| Signs | REVIEW COMPLETED | RE: Sign review – proposed PAD rezoning For: New commercial development At: SE corner of 29th and Swan Rezoning case: TP-ENT-1123-00045 Date: 12/21/23 Reviewer: H. Thrall (Heather.Thrall@tucsonaz.gov) Codes: Unified Development Code (UDC) 7A, Sign Standards, National Electrical Code (NEC) 600, Tucson-Pima County Outdoor Lighting Code (OLC), International Building Code (IBC) 2018 1. The rezoning site does not have any billboards. 2. The PAD document does not provide a commentary on signage design aspects nor billboards. A) Given the wording within Section III-2 regarding the allowed uses for the PAD based on the C-3 zoning, the Signs Division Staff has one recommended rezoning condition to provide clear direction to both staff and the development team going forward; billboards shall not be allowed uses within this PAD site. 3. The Sign Standards, 7A.11.4, indicate that the underlying uses and zoning written for the PAD document shall designate the applicable sign district. Based on the planned rendering options for commercial layouts and uses, the underlying sign district for the site will be the General Business District. The sign standards of this district begin with UDC 7A.10.2. charts A and B, with sign specific criteria listed in C. This commercial sign district provides direction for both attached building sign allowances and detached sign allowances. 4. The PAD document discusses several aesthetic aspects for the buildings in section III-7. Please clarify if the PAD will provide a section on sign design criteria for signs on the buildings and freestanding signs at the property (i.e. shall consist of individual letters, with logo cabinets allowed, etc. – awning and canopy signs are encouraged for shade, etc.) or simply to defer sign allowances to the Sign Standards of the Unified Development Code. Should you have questions or wish to discuss signage aspects for this location, I can be reached at Heather.Thrall@tucsonaz.gov |

| Site Engineering | REVIEW COMPLETED | 1. Balanced basin detention is required. 2. First flush retention is required. 3. The City of Tucson encourages Low Impact Design (LID) practices for storm water management as defined by the Stormwater Retention Detention Manual. These standards discourage the use of large retention/detention basins and encourage the use of smaller basins and planted bioretention basins throughout the site. The goal is to achieve the same volume of detention while attempting to mimic natural hydrologic processes and increase land available for development. 4. Maximize rainwater harvesting to landscaped areas through the use of curb cuts and flush curbs. Rainwater harvesting can work in tandem with LID practices. 5. The proximity to Pima County Regional Flood Control District managed Tucson Diversion Channel will require all development in the proposed PAD to be reviewed and approved by Pima County Regional Flood Control District.

TP-ENT-1123-00045 ADDRESS/PARCEL: 2021 S SWAN RD/131-01-002B EXISTING ZONING: R-1 PROPOSED ZONING: PAD 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. COMMENTS: 1. As a condition of the Planned Area Development, Commercial Rainwater Harvesting must meet a minimum of 60% of the irrigation needs of the proposed development. 2. Outdoor Storage areas and Trash Collection areas are to be screened with a mix of landscape and masonry screen walls.
