| Entitlements | REVIEW COMPLETED | DATE: 3/15/23 REVIEWED BY: Gabriel Sleighter, Planner CASE NUMBER: TP-PRE-0223-00120 PROJECT ADDRESSES: 1760 E River Road PARCEL NUMBERS: 108-21-328B EXISTING ZONING: C-1 PROPOSED USE: Educational Use, Elementary and Secondary PROJECT DESCRIPTION & LOCATION: The proposed special exception request is for the implementation of an individual parking plan to locate a charter school inside of an existing 3-story building with 50-60 students and 20-24 teachers at peak hours. The subject building is part of a commercial development consisting of seven separate buildings. The parcel is located at the intersection of N Campbell Ave and E River Road, in Ward 3. Both Campbell Ave and River Road are designated Scenic Arterial routes. The preliminary development plan shows the new 50-foot-high building with a total of 57,270 square feet of gross floor area. Because the vehicular and pedestrian access guidelines of UDC 4.9.3.D.7 stipulate that one parallel parking space shall be provided for every 20 students for which the school is authorized, the request for an Individual Parking Plan would allow for a modification based on the parking needs of the school. Land use policy direction for this site is provided by Plan Tucson. This site is not located within any area plan. APPLICANT NAME: Ty Utton PHONE: 623-382-6755 E-MAIL tutton@swlaw.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 PLAN AMENDMENT NOT REQUIRED BASED ON CONCEPT PRESENTED (SEE NOTES BELOW) APPLICABLE PLAN POLICIES: Plan Tucson The site lies within the Existing Neighborhoods building block in the Future Growth Scenario Map in Plan Tucson. Existing Neighborhoods are primarily developed and largely built-out residential neighborhoods and commercial districts in which minimal new development and redevelopment is expected in the next several decades. The goal is to maintain the character of these neighborhoods, while accommodating some new development and redevelopment and encouraging reinvestment and new services and amenities that contribute further to neighborhood stability. Plan Tucson contains no specific policies related to this request. SURROUNDING ZONING AND USES: The subject building, and other buildings at this location, are primarily used as offices. The Rillito River is south of the site. A post office is to the west, a commercial strip is across river road to the north, and more commercial and office uses are located in the development to the east, across Campbell Ave. The adjacent properties are zoned C-1 Office, except for the commercial development to the east, which is Pima County CB-1 Local Business Zone. ANALYSIS: The proposed use is consistent with Plan Tucson. The proposed use would require 3 parallel parking spaces for passenger drop-off in accordance with UDC 4.9.3.D.7. However, the applicant’s preliminary development plan and attached parking needs analysis for existing Fusion Academy locations indicates that this would not be required and mandating these spaces imposes an unreasonable impediment to their proposed use at this site. As such the request an individual parking plan has been made. Based on the parking study provided, the availability of existing parking at the subject location, and the peak hours which differ from traditional Educational use support this special exception application. No low-density residential developments are directly affected by the proposed parking modification. Based on the standards listed above from Plan Tucson, No Plan Amendment is required. ADDITIONAL PLAN POLICIES TO CONSIDER: None ADDITIONAL NOTES: |
