Review Name: PRE-APPLICATION CONFERENCE REVIEW v.1
Review Status: Requires Resubmit
Review Date Reviewer's Name Type of Review Description Status Comments
Historic REQUIRES RESUBMIT Project requires more information on how the historic structures will be treated. How will the rear portions of the buildings be treated? Removal of the rear should not impact the overall integrity.
Demolition of two contributing structures and retention of only the facade is not consistent with the US Secretary of the Interior's Standards. Alternate designs that retain the buildings should be considered.

PROJECT: SOLOT BLOCK DEVELOPMENT
ACTIVITY NO. TP-PRE-0123-00074
ADDRESS/PARCEL: 2545 E BROADWAY BL/125-09-012A
ZONING: C-1; UOD-3 MID-CENTURY SUBDISTRICT

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. This plan has also been reviewed for compliance with the Sunshine Mile Overlay District and Mid-Century UOD.

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. A landscape plan is required per 7.6.2.B.1-b. The Unified Development Code (UDC) 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.
2. Per the Sunshine Mile Overlay District and the Mid-Century Overlay, the minimum landscape requirements only apply to Public Open Spaces, see page IV-39.
3. Per Section J (page III-23) Open Space #7, “Parking areas may not be counted as Open Space.”
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. Under Section M Environmentally Conscious Design, which outlines that each project shall include ten (10) or more of the following design practices., #3 states that “Shade is required for 70% of parking areas”. While this is not a hard requirement, please keep that in mind as part of this development.
6. There will need to be a street landscape border on E Broadway Bl per UDC 7.6.4.C-2 and Table 7.6.4-1. See UDC 7.6.4.C for landscape border requirements.
7. In Section E of the Sunshine Mile Overlay District Shade (page III-10), “...shade shall be provided for at least fifty (50) percent of all sidewalks and pedestrian paths as measured at 2:00 pm on June 21 when the sun is 82 degrees above the horizon. Shade may be provided by trees, arcades, canopies, or shade structures provided their location and design characteristics are compatible with the historic and design context of the street and the architectural integrity of the building. The use of plantings and shade structures in the City Right-Of-Way is permitted to meet this standard with the approval of DTM.”
8. See Engineering notes for Retention/Detention.
9. All landscape plans shall incorporate water conserving design as defined in UDC Section 7.6.6, Use of Water, and as described in the Technical Standards Manual 5.01-5.11.
10. The Landscape Plan should match the Commercial Rainwater Harvesting Plan as well as the Grading Plan. Please include spot elevations in the detention/retention areas as well as in all water harvesting areas in the Landscape Plan.
11. Maximize the rainwater harvesting across the site into the landscape areas, including but not limited to the street landscape borders as well as the tree wells for the required trees for the parking lot. One way to accomplish this would be the use of flush curbs and parking blocks.
12. Commercial Rainwater Harvesting plan is required per UDC Technical Standards Manual – Section 4-01.3.0. and Section 5-01.0.0 Landscaping and Screening. 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

Site Zoning REVIEW COMPLETED CDRC Thursday Pre-Submittal Transmittal
PDSD Zoning Review
FROM: Nicholas Martell, Principal Planner
PROJECT: Thursday Pre-submittal meeting - TP-PRE-0123-00074
Address: 2545 E BROADWAY BL
Parcel: 12509012A
Zoning: C-1
Existing Use: Vacant
Proposed Use: None Proposed
TRANSMITTAL DATE: February 1, 2022

COMMENTS:
1. Development must comply with the Administrative Manual Section 2-06 - Development Package.
2. All uses will be determined by UDC 4.8-4: Permitted Uses. The Sunshine Mile District Manual may allow for different uses.
3. Parking is calculated as follows (Table 7.4.4-1 UDC). The Sunshine Mile District Manual addresses parking in section H and may be used to relieve parking requirements.
4. The proposed improvements are within the UOD-3 Mid-Century Subdistrict. The subdistrict is broken up into two categories: The Midcentury Subdistrict, and the Restricted Uses District. This development is within the Midcentury Subdistrict and is subject to the uses starting on page III-4 of the document. Please contact me with any questions about applicable uses.
5. The project is in the Rio Nuevo Multipurpose Facilities District.
6. The maximum height of a structure in the zone, for a non-residential use, is 30’.
7. The proposed driveway appears to be cutting through one of the buildings on the west. A historic demolition would be required to demolish part of the building.
8. It is unclear whether the parking spaces to the North would be accessed from the alley. Vehicular maneuvering can only be done on-site.
9. Ensure bicycle parking is provided per article 7.4.8 of the UDC.
10. Perimeter yard setbacks can be found in TABLE 6.3-4.A: DIMENSIONAL STANDARDS. The Sunshine Mile District overlay may allow for modifications to the UDC.
11. Please provide a cross access agreement if access to and from the parcel will cross between parcels.
12. Ensure the vehicle use area is compliant with 7.4.6 of the UDC. A fully dimensioned plan is required upon submittal of the Development Package. Some of the vehicle parking spaces do not appear to meet circulation standards in 7.4.6.F.
13. Ensure access standards found in section 7.8 of the UDC and sections 7-01.0.0 and 10-01.0.0 of the Technical Standards Manual are met.
14. Upon submission of the Development Package, please reference the codes from the Unified Development Code (UDC). The plans will be reviewed through the lens of the UDC; any Sunshine Mile reductions to standards will be addressed in subsequent submissions. Do not hesitate to set up a meeting with staff to discuss application steps.
15. 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.
