Subject: TP-ENT-1222-00007 Transwest Properties – E. Lee St Rezoning
Dear Maria:
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on City of Tucson TP-ENT-1222-00007 Transwest Properties – E. Lee Street, to rezone approx. 0.77 acres from R-1 to R-2, to develop 10 attached two-story rental homes.
The rezoning site is located on the south side of E. Lee Street, about 1000 feet east of Pantano Wash. The site is developed with a single single-family residence on the site. The site is surrounded by high-density and multi-family housing to the west and south and commercial to the east.
Pima County Development Services Department, Planning Division, has no objection to the proposed rezoning. In particular, the division supports efforts to increase density, mixed use and transit oriented development, especially in the urban core, near major streets, and in areas supported by existing infrastructure and services, to help ameliorate housing supply in general in the region, which has had the greatest impact on the availability of affordable housing.
Sincerely,
Spencer Hickman

SUBJECT: TP-ENT-1222-00007 – Transwest Properties, Lee Street Rezoning
From R-1 to R-2
Design Compatibility Report, November 2022
Tax Parcels #121-08-062D and -062A; 0.77 acre
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 a 0.77-acre property located on Lee St, approx. 300 feet west of Wilmot Rd to permit the construction of a multi-family residential development comprised of ten units.
Capacity is currently available for this development in the 8” public sewer I-843, downstream from manhole 8601-48 (Type I P22WC00252, dated August 31, 2022). Allocation of capacity for the proposed development 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 PCRWRD stating that treatment and conveyance capacity is available for any new development within the rezoning area, no more than 90 days before submitting any rezoning, 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
Transwest Properties – Lee Street Rezoning December 23, 2022
TP-ENT-1222-00007 Page 2of 2
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 a 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.
If you wish to discuss the above conditions, please contact me at 724-6488.

RE: TP-ENT-1222-00007 Transwest Properties Preliminary Development Plan, Received December 15, 2022

Dear Mr. Holden,
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on TP-ENT-1222-00007 Preliminary Development Plan, represented by Transwest Properties ("Transwest"). Transwest requests to rezone adjacent parcels 122-08-062A and 121-08-062D from R-1 (Low density single-family residential) to R-2 (Medium Density single- and multifamily residential). Parcel -062A covers 0.168 acres +/- and parcel -062D covers 0.623 acres +/- for a combined area of 0.791 acres +/-. These parcels are situated in the northeast quarter of the southeast quarter of Section 01, Township 14S Range 14E.

The transwest preliminary development plan address of 6224 E Lee Street (the "site") lies just west of N Wilmot Road. While this site remains outside of the Tucson International Airport Avigation Easement, this site does like within Federal Aviation Administration traffic pattern airspace.

The Tucson Airport Authority conditionally approves the subject rezoning request contingent upon the conditions of approval noted below. These conditions must be included in the development plan and in the rezoning request documents.

Conditions of approval:
1. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Notice Criteria Tool, the "proposed structure is in proximity to a navigation facility and may impact the assurance of navigation signal reception. The FAA (requests) that you file."
a. As the project site develops, each project applicant must file FAA Form 7460 with the FAA at least 45 days before construction activities begin for each proposed project unless the FAA staff, with the Obstruction Evaluation / /Airport Airspace Analysis (OE/AAA), provides the project applicant with written communication that filing FAA Form 7460 is not required. It is highly recommended that the applicant file earlier than 45 days to provide the applicant with sufficient time to respond to any concerns identified by the FAA. Note that cranes proposed to be used onsite must also be identified on Form 7460. File FAA Form 7460 here: https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external/portal.jsp and select the option 'If construction or alternation IS NOT LOCATED on an airport:'.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions or concerns regarding this comment letter. My work telephone is 520-573-4811. My work email is srobidoux@flytucson.com.

Signs REVIEW COMPLETED A change to the R-3 zone with multiple units makes this an apartment complex. This site would be permitted to have a monument or low-profile freestanding sign, providing it is outside of sight visibility triangles and meets setbacks (and on private property). No conditions of approval for signage are recommended for this rezoning case, as lighting would meet outdoor lighting code requirements and the site is surrounded by higher zoning.

COMMENTS:
1. Development on the site will require a drainage report.
2. Maximize water harvesting into landscaping and adhere to lower impact design standards in design and construction.

3. The proposed buildings will require fire egress from two points in the building (front and back) and the egress must be unimpeded all the way to an adjacent street. Consult with Tucson Fire Dept reviews for details.
4. The turnaround proposed in the preliminary site plan is not standard. Parking is not allowed in a turn around. (Tucson TSM 10-01.6.3 & Figure 23)
5. Centralized, on-site solid waste and recycling collection is required for all developments of six to 24 units. Utilization of individual containers (APCs) for six or more new dwelling units requires approval by ES on a case by case evaluation. (Tucson TSM 8-01.5.01A)
6. The Preliminary Development Plan will need to address each of the comments listed here.

PROPOSED ZONING: R-2

EXISTING USE: SFR
PROPOSED USE: MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING

TRANSMITTAL DATE: DECEMBER 30, 2022
DUE DATE: DECEMBER 30, 2022
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 Landscape/NPPO to assure compliance with the applicable UDC development criteria and Technical Standards.



COMMENTS:

1. There must be a NPPO. An NPPO is required per UDC 7.7.3-B. The NPPO is intended to encourage preservation in place of healthy native plants through sensitive site design that minimizes the disruption of areas within the site containing plants while allowing for salvage and transplantation of plants on the site that are likely to survive. A Native Plant Preservation Plan, Section 7.7.4, is required to be submitted or approved or a request for an exception from the Native Plant Preservation requirements approved in accordance with Sections 7.7.3.D.3 & .4 of the UDC and Admin. Manual Section 2-11.0.0 prior to Grading Plan approval. Maximize the number of preserve in place specimens to the fullest extent possible.
2. Ensure the required number of trees is in all vehicular parking areas (1 tree: 4 parking spaces) per UDC 7.6.4.B.1. Placing trees along the edge of a parking area or at the ends of parking row does not meet the intent of the UDC. All spaces within 40’ of a tree is only one of the requirements. The intent is to provide as much shade on the asphalt as possible (TSM 5-01.3.2), and the requirement is 1 tree per 4 parking spaces; trees are expected to be placed within the parking area itself to provide shade on asphalt. Trees are to be distributed evenly throughout the parking area, UDC 7.6.4.1.B.1, UDC Technical Standards Manual 5-01-.3.2 and UDC 7.6.4.B.1.a. Parking diamonds are allowed as long as their square footage equals 34 square feet.
3. The required 10’ landscape border along that runs through the private yards on the west side of the property may prove to be difficult to maintain, especially in terms of required canopy trees, for what are rental units. This landscape border will be better served on the east side of the property where a landscape border is not required and can actually be maintained properly by a qualified landscape professional.
4.There will need to be retention and detention located on site. See Engineering comments for the guidance on this.
5. Maximize rainwater harvesting across the entire site into the landscaped areas, this includes all parking lot trees & landscape borders.
6. The use of flush curbs and parking blocks is strongly encouraged in all vehicular parking areas and adjacent to all landscape borders to help maximize rainwater harvesting across the site. Curbs cuts alone will not help to maximize water harvesting across the entirety of the site.
7. A Commercial Rainwater Harvesting Plan is required per The TSM 4-01.3.0. As part of the re-zoning conditions, the applicant should be able to illustrate how water harvesting will meet 60% of the annual landscape water demand, through the use of treatments like flush curbs and basins in the landscape borders.
8. Adherence to the Low Impact Development Standards outlined in Section 5 of the PCRFCD Design Standards for Stormwater Detention and Retention is required and shall work in conjunction with the Commercial Rainwater Harvesting design. Using Low Impact Development design and water harvesting provides critical basin detention and first flush retention for all new development and impervious area. The newly adopted Detention/Retention Manual can be found: https://webcms.pima.gov/UserFiles/Servers/Server_6/File/Government/Flood%20Control/Rules%20and%20Procedures/Stormwater%20Detention-Retention/dssdr-final-201406-manual.pdf

1. The owner / developer shall construct all necessary on-site and off-site public and/or private water mains necessary to serve the rezoned area at his or her own expense.
2. If the City of Tucson’s existing water distribution system is not capable of supplying the total water demand (including the demand for fire suppression water) of the proposed development on the rezoned land, the owner / developer shall be financially responsible for modifying and/or enhancing the existing water distribution system to meet those needs.
