| Entitlements | REVIEW COMPLETED | DATE: 1/18/2023 REVIEWED BY: Carver Struve, Planner CASE NUMBER: TP-PRE-0123-00070 – 1511 W Valencia Road Oil Change PROJECT ADDRESSES: 1511 W Valencia Road PARCEL NUMBERS: A portion of parcel 138-241-01M EXISTING ZONING: O-3 PROPOSED USE: Drive through oil change PROJECT DESCRIPTION & LOCATION: Proposed rezoning from O-3 Office to C-2 Commercial for a minor vehicle services use, consisting of a 1,438-SF six space drive through oil change use, with three vehicle rows. The lot is approximately 0.79 acres in size, and the building in approximately 1,404-SF. The proposed structure height is unknown. Proposed ingress and egress are proposed for the shared access with the adjoining gas station, and a visibility easement is proposed for the front yard. The Major Streets and Roads Plan classifies W Valencia Road as an Arterial Gateway. The site is currently vacant with a bus shelter and an open bus bay pull off along Valencia Road. There is also a mapped but unnamed street wash along the front of the property. The area is covered by both Plan Tucson, and the Santa Cruz Area Plan, Key Parcel 4. APPLICANT NAME: Jake Potter PHONE: 704-319-8344 E-MAIL jake.potter@durbandevelopment.com Plan Amendment 0 YES 1 NO 0 TO BE CONFIRMED LATER PLAN SUPPORT BASED ON CONCEPT PRESENTED (SEE NOTES BELOW): 1 YES 0 NO 0 WILL DEPEND ON DESIGN 0 DESIGN COMPATIBILITY + COMMUNITY INPUT 0 ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCE REPORT PLAN DIRECTION ADOPTED PLAN(S): Plan Tucson, Santa Cruz Area Plan, Key Parcel 4 PLAN AMENDMENT NOT REQUIRED BASED ON CONCEPT PRESENTED (SEE NOTES BELOW) APPLICABLE PLAN POLICIES: Plan Tucson Plan policy is provided by Plan Tucson, which contains the following policies related to the proposed rezoning, which is located within the Existing Neighborhoods Building Block: LT28.2.4 Support community commercial and office uses located at the intersections of arterial streets, taking into consideration traffic safety and congestion issues. LT28.2.7 Support redevelopment of existing strip commercial development when: a. Protect stabilizes and enhances the transition edge to existing residential uses; b. Primary access can generally be provided from a major street; c. Required parking, loading, and maneuvering can be accommodated on site; d. Screening and buffering to adjacent residential can be provided on site; g. Buildings and associated activities can be oriented away from adjacent residential uses, toward the interior of the site, or toward similar uses. Santa Cruz Area Plan The Santa Cruz Area Plan (SCAP) lays out several goals, including sub-goals for non-residential uses. The proposed site is located within key parcel 4 as defined by the neighborhood plan, and the development of this area is described by the plan’s proposed use: The Midvale area should be developed as a mixed-use community in conformance with the approved zoning concept plan. Commercial uses that are deemed compatible with the Midvale community and the linear park are allowed at the northeast corner of Mission and Irvington Roads. The compatibility of proposed commercial development would be evaluated based on the project successfully addressing potential noise and visual impacts, height considerations, enhanced setbacks, and landscaping and buffering elements. The subject property’s proposed use of commercial falls within the plan guidelines indicated, which show a commercial use in this area. It Refers to Map 3 for the land use development concept for Midvale. Map 3 identifies the site for commercial uses which allows for C-2. SURROUNDING ZONING AND USES: The site is zoned O-3, but has a pending C-2 rezoning, which has been approved by Mayor and Council, but has not been effectuated. The area to the north is zoned C-1 and includes several sit-down and fast-food restaurants. The area to the South is zoned I-3 and I-1. It includes warehouse and office space. The area to the east is zoned O-3 and includes medical offices. To the west are a gas station and retail stores in the C-2 and C-1 zones. ANALYSIS: The proposed use is generally compatible with Plan Tucson and the Santa Cruz Area Plan, per the policies stated above. Since the site is a change in use from a previously approved but not effectuated rezoning to C-2, a rezoning is not required. However, this change from a convince store to an oil change use does constitute a Major Change in Condition, which will require Mayor and Council Approval. A Major Change in conditions will require the following: • Coordination with the Ward 1 office on the proposed change of use • A neighborhood meeting • Maintain the conditions from the previous rezoning • Revise the PDP to show both sites considered for the previous rezoning (include the car wash) • Address traffic circulation for the entire site • Call out the requested change of use on the PDP Based on the standards listed above from Plan Tucson, A Plan Amendment is not required. However, a Major Change in Conditions is Required. ADDITIONAL PLAN POLICIES TO CONSIDER: None ADDITIONAL NOTES: |

| Site Engineering | REVIEW COMPLETED | TP-PRE-0123-00070 – Stay-in-your-car, drive through oil change 1511 W Valencia Rd Comments: 1. There is an unnamed wash running from west to east along the northern edge of the property, but no floodplain is present. The wash runs into the Santa Cruz River ¼ mile to the east. 2. Be sure that your design complies with the requirements for a solid waste enclosure and show the clear zone and environmental services truck maneuverability on your site plan. (Tucson Universal Development Code 8-01.5.3.B) 3. Although the project is within a balanced basin, as a condition of rezoning, the stormwater discharges for the 2-, 10-, and 100-year events shall be reduced by 15% from pre-devotement levels for all future development. 4. First flush retention volumes shall be increased by 50 percent over the amount required by the detention/retention manual for all future development. (Pima County Regional Flood Control District Stormwater Detention-Retention https://webcms.pima.gov/cms/one.aspx?portalId=169&pageId=65527) 5. Water harvesting must be maximized. Lower impact development guidelines from the retention/detention manual shall be followed to the maximum extent possible.

| Site Landscape | REVIEW COMPLETED | PROJECT: OIL CHANGE FACILITY ACTIVITY NO. TP-PRE-0123-00070 ADDRESS/PARCEL: 1511 W VALENCIA RD, 1505 W VALENCIA RD, 6555 S MIDVALE PARK RD/138-24-101M CURRENT ZONING: C-2 PROPOSED ZONING: C-2 EXISTING USE: VACANT LAND PROPOSED USE: OIL CHANGE FACILITY TRANSMITTAL DATE: JANUARY 13, 2023 DUE DATE: JANUARY 18, 2023 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. Include a project narrative with all DPs associated with this site that shows how the change of conditions and re-zoning conditions are being met. 2. 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. 3. There will need to be a landscape border on W Valencia Rd per UDC 7.6.4.C-2 and Table 7.6.4-1. See UDC 7.6.4.C for landscape border requirements. There may also need to be on the east side of the property depending on use. Please include a landscape border on the west side of the property where appropriate 4. Ensure the required number of trees is in all vehicular parking areas (1 tree: 4 parking spaces) per UDC 7.6.4.B.1. 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. 5. Maximize rainwater harvesting across the entire site into the landscaped areas, this includes all landscape borders. 6. The use of flush curbs and parking blocks is strongly encouraged adjacent to all landscape borders to help maximize rainwater harvesting across the site and meet the Commercial Rainwater Harvesting and First Flush demands. 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.
