A landscape plan is required per UDC 7.6.2.B.1-b. The Unified Development Code 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. 3. Provide the required number of trees in all vehicular parking areas (1 tree to 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. 4. UDC 5.3.4. SCENIC ROUTE BUFFER AREA (Highlighted requirements are represented in ALL CAPS below). The submitted site plan indicates that the Scenic Route Buffer Areas are accounted for. A. REQUIREMENTS: 1. A BUFFER AREA 30 FEET WIDE, ADJACENT TO THE MS&R FUTURE RIGHT-OF-WAY LINE, IS REQUIRED AND SHALL BE PRESERVED AND MAINTAINED IN ITS NATURAL STATE. 2. NO DEVELOPMENT OR IMPROVEMENTS SHALL OCCUR IN A SCENIC ROUTE BUFFER AREA EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 5.3.4.C, PERMITTED IMPROVEMENTS; (SEE FIGURE 5.3-B.). 3. THE BUFFER AREA SHALL BE RESTORED AS CLOSELY TO ITS NATURAL STATE AS POSSIBLE IN AREAS WHERE PUBLIC SAFETY OR THE DELIVERY OF PUBLIC SERVICES PRECLUDES PRESERVATION OF EXISTING VEGETATION. 4. THE BUFFER AREA IS IN LIEU OF THE LANDSCAPE BORDER REQUIRED ALONG STREET FRONTAGES UNDER SECTION 7.6, LANDSCAPING AND SCREENING STANDARDS. FIGURE 5.3-B: PRESERVATION AND REESTABLISHMENT OF VEGETATION ADJACENT TO SCENIC ROUTE. B. Measurement of the Scenic Routes Buffer Area: 1. The Scenic Routes buffer area is measured from the future MS&R right-of-way, except as follows- 2. Exception: Where the MS&R roadway design includes installation of a sidewalk, pedestrian way, or bike path, the buffer may be measured from the MS&R projected back of the sidewalk, pedestrian way, or bike path if the buffer does not encroach more than ten feet into the future MS&R right-of-way with the written permission of the City of Tucson Department of Transportation. The use of the MS&R right-of-way is permitted only if the area can be landscaped. THE FOLLOWING IMPROVEMENTS ARE PERMITTED IN THE SCENIC ROUTES BUFFER AREA: C. PERMITTED IMPROVEMENTS: 1. Driveways or access lanes, if their area does not exceed 20% of the Scenic Routes Buffer Area (Buffer Area). In this instance, the width of the Buffer Area is 30 feet in accordance with Section 5.3.4.A.1. For the purposes here, the Buffer Area is calculated as follows: Multiply the distance of the property’s frontage along the Scenic Route measured at the MS&R right-of-way line by 30 feet. If, due to topographical or engineering constraints, the driveway or access lane exceeds 20% of the Buffer Area, the width of the Buffer Area shall be increased to accommodate the square footage resulting from the following calculation: (Distance of the frontage along the Scenic Route measured at the MS&R right-of-way line - total width of driveways or access lanes) x 24 feet = Required Buffer Area in square feet. Specific sign types may also be placed in the Scenic Routes buffer area in accordance with Article 7A.11.3 Scenic Corridor Zone (SCZ) District. 2. Trenching for the placement of utility lines, if the area is revegetated in accordance with Section 5.3.4.D, Revegetation of Site. 3. An area not larger than 18 square feet and not exceeding 30 inches in height per lot or parcel for the placement of utility transformers, pedestals, and service meters and hookups for utilities. 4. SELECTED VEGETATION MAY BE REMOVED WHEN THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION DETERMINES THAT REMOVAL IS NECESSARY FOR PUBLIC SAFETY IF THE REMOVED PLANTS ARE REPLACED WITH NATIVE VEGETATION. D. REVEGETATION OF SITE: 1. ANY PORTION OF THE SCENIC ROUTE BUFFER AREA AND THE MS&R RIGHT-OF-WAY DISTURBED BY DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY SHALL BE REVEGETATED WITH NATIVE VEGETATION. 2. WITHIN THE SCZ, EXCLUDING THE SCENIC ROUTES BUFFER AREA, ALL DISTURBED AREAS ON THE SITE THAT ARE VISIBLE FROM THE SCENIC ROUTE AND ARE NOT COVERED BY PERMANENT IMPROVEMENTS SHALL BE REVEGETATED WITH NATIVE PLANTS, PLANTS FROM THE DROUGHT TOLERANT PLANT LIST, OR A COMBINATION OF BOTH. 3. IN AREAS NOT VISIBLE FROM THE SCENIC CORRIDOR ZONE, VEGETATION MAY CONSIST OF NATIVE PLANTS INDIGENOUS TO THE SITE OR DROUGHT TOLERANT PLANT MATERIAL. OASIS AREA LANDSCAPING MATERIAL MAY ALSO BE PLANTED WITHIN THIS AREA AT THE LEVELS PERMITTED BY THE LANDSCAPING ORDINANCE. 5. A drip irrigation plan and details are required for all proposed landscape planting areas. 6. DTM review is required for all planting and irrigation in the ROW prior to the approval of the development package. Reach out to David Marhefka (david.marhefka@tucsonaz.gov) if necessary for this project. 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. A Commercial Rainwater Harvesting plan is required: See Technical Standards Manual 4-01.3.0 RAINWATER HARVESTING PLAN. A Rainwater Harvesting Plan shall be submitted with all applications for commercial developments at which landscaping is required. The Rainwater Harvesting Plan shall consist of two elements: A Site Water Budget Calculation Spreadsheet and a Water Harvesting Implementation Plan. Preparation of the Rainwater Harvesting Plan elements require coordination between project managers, site engineers and landscape architects from the inception of the project. The Landscape Plan should match the Commercial Rainwater Harvesting Plan as well as the Grading Plan. The two elements of the Rainwater Harvesting Plan shall illustrate how water harvesting will meet 50% of annual landscape water demand, as required by the ordinance. 9. Coordinate the Landscape Plan, Commercial Rainwater Harvesting Plan and the Civil Grading Plans to have identical basin size, grades, spot elevations and curb cut 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 Thank you.
