Preparation of the landscape plans shall adhere to UDC 7.6 and Administrative Manual 2-10. 4. Parking lot canopy trees are required at 1 tree for every 4 parking spaces provided, see UDC 7.6.4.B. Structurally covered parking spaces do not count toward the ratio, see UDC 7.6.4.B.1.c.(8). Trees are to be distributed evenly throughout the parking area, see UDC 7.6.4.1.a.(1). See Technical Standards Manual 5-01.3.0 for additional landscaping in vehicular use area requirements. 5. A street landscape border is required along N Green Hills Av and along E Speedway Av, per UDC 7.6.4.C-2 and Table 7.6.4-1. See UDC 7.6.4.C. Commercial land use along MS&R and non-MS&R requires a 10’ street landscape border. 6.

Coordinate the Landscape Plan, Commercial Rainwater Harvesting Plan and the Civil Grading Plans to have identical basin size, grades/percent slopes, spot elevations and curb cut inlet and outlet locations. 10. Maximize rainwater harvesting across the site into all landscape areas, including the street landscape borders and planting islands for the required trees in the parking area. 11. A separate irrigation water meter is required. Please label irrigation meter as “irrigation only”. See TSM 4-01.6.0. Or see City of Tucson Ordinance 10597 -- Sec. 6-182. Rainwater Harvesting Plan: Number 3 (a) A separate water meter connected to the main water supply; or (b) An irrigation sub-meter. 12. **If it is determined that any of the above provided site landscape standards cannot be met due to the nature of the development, then a Design Development Option (DDO) may be an option to gain partial relief from some landscape requirements, see UDC 3.11.1.B.3 for landscape and screening modifications allowed. A Board of Adjustment Variance to the UDC site landscape requirements is also a viable alternative. Please reach out to Mark Castro or Georgia Pennington with PDSD for more information on the DDO and Variance process. Mark.Castro@tucsonaz.gov – Georgia.Pennington@tucsonaz.gov Thank you.

The proposed development must comply with the City of Tucson Unified Development Code (UDC) Administrative Manual Chapter 2-06 – Development Package. Building permits can be submitted and reviewed concurrently with the development package but the building plans cannot be approved until the development package is approved and the building plans are reviewed for consistency. 2. Automotive, Minor Service and Repair, is a permitted use in the C-2 subject to use-specific standards 4.9.13.E. 3. Dimensional standards for C-2 are below: a. The maximum lot coverage is 70% for residential and N/A for nonresidential b. The maximum height is 40’ c. The perimeter yards are as follows: i. To the north, adjacent to E Speedway Bl: 20’ ii. To the east and south, adjacent to C-2 zoning: 0’ iii. To the west, adjacent to N Green Hills Av, a local street: 20’ 4. Commercial services require a parking ratio of one motor vehicle space for every 300 square feet of gross floor area (GFA). For a GFA of 3,334 sf, 11 motor vehicle parking spaces are required. a. A reduction of one may be permitted for every non-required EVSE space provided. The submitted site plan indicates an intent to pursue such a reduction. b. Even with the EVSE reduction, additional reductions would be required. To submit an Individual Parking Plan (IPP) contact Mark Castro at mark.castro@tucsonaz.gov. 5. Per UDC Technical Standards Manual (TSM) 7-01.3.3, pedestrian circulation is required to connect all public areas of a development as well as to that only an adjacent streets.
