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. Per UDC 9-02.4.2 states that “ Landscaping and hardscape elements, such as walkways, driveways, and site furnishings, may be reviewed as part of a required HPZ review. The general guide for the selection and placement of plants is the existing character of landscaping within the HPZ. Individual district guidelines may include specific recommendations on plant materials. The PDSD Director has the authority to waive or amend landscaping and screening requirements in order to assure that the type and placement of plant materials is compatible with the character of the subject property and the development zone.” and 9-02.7.7-C “ In addition to development criteria described in this technical standard, the West University Historic Zone Advisory Board has prepared design guidelines applicable within the HPZ. The applicant should contact the Chair of the Advisory Board for a current copy of these specific HPZ guidelines.” in terms of landscape specific guidelines for this project . These guidelines may supersede the UDC.
2. There must be a NPPO waiver. 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.
3. 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.
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. There will need to be a street landscape border on n 2nd Av per UDC 7.6.4.C-2 and Table 7.6.4-1. See UDC 7.6.4.C for landscape border requirements.
6. See Engineering notes for Retention/Detention.
7. 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.
8. The Landscape Plan should match the Commercial Rainwater Harvesting Plan as well as the Grading Plan.
9. 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.
10. There may need to be a 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: Wyatt Berger, Lead Planner

PROJECT: Thursday Pre-submittal meeting – TP-PRE-0223-00111
Address: 926 and 928 North 2nd Avenue
Parcel(s): 117-02-2940 and 117-02-2970
Zoning: HR-2
Existing Use: Residential development
Proposed Use: Multifamily development

TRANSMITTAL DATE: March 8, 2023

COMMENTS:
1. Development must comply with the Administrative Manual Section 2-06 - Development Package. Building permits may be applied for concurrently with the development package; however, the development package must be approved prior to approval of the associated building permit. Historic approval is required prior to Zoning approval.
2. Multifamily development is a permitted use in the HR-2 zone, subject to use-specific standards 4.9.7.B.6, .9, and .10.
3. Per UDC Table 6.3-2.A, residential density is permitted at a maximum of 15 dwellings per acre. Based on a lot size of approximately 0.212 acres, three dwellings are permitted on each parcel.
4. Per UDC Table 6.3-2.A, when a nonresidential use is adjacent to a nonresidential zone, the required side and rear yard setbacks are ten feet or ¾ the height of the proposed wall, whichever is greater, measured from the property line. The proposal may maintain the prevailing street and interior perimeter yard setbacks existing of contributing properties within its development zone.
5. Required setbacks from 2nd Avenue is 20 feet or one and one-half the height of the proposed wall, measured from the street property line. This setback may also be reduced based on the existing development zone setbacks.
6. Peruse UDC Table 7.4.4-1 to determine motor vehicle parking requirements. Parking is calculated by the number of bedrooms proposed and not by the number of dwellings proposed.
7. Per UDC Table 7.4.8-1, short-term bicycle parking is required at 0.10 spaces per bedroom, with a minimum requirement of two spaces.
8. Per UDC Table 7.4.8-1, long-term bicycle parking is required at 0.5 spaces per bedroom, with a minimum requirement of two spaces. Long-term bicycle parking may be proposed within each dwelling unit.
9. Ensure that the commercial parking requirements of UDC 7.4.6 and UDC 7.6.4.B are met. Tandem parking as well as access and maneuverability from a street or alley is permitted for nonresidential uses within contributing properties to a National Register Historic District.
10. As the site is composed of two separate parcels, either a lot consolidation shall be completed or a recorded "Covenant Regarding Development and Use of Real Property" shall be provided: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/pdsd/Covenant_Regarding_Development_and_Use_of_Real_Property_UDC.pdf.
11. Ensure compliance with Technical Standards Manual Section 7-01.4.3. All sidewalks must be a minimum of four feet wide and installed to avoid any obstruction which decreases the minimum width to less than four feet.
12. 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.
13. 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.
