3. 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.

4. Street landscape borders per UDC 7.6.4.C.2 and Table 7.6.4-1 and proposed Commercial land use along MS&R and non-MS&R:
A. E Valencia Rd requires a 10’ landscape border and a 30” screen located on the project side of the ROW/Future ROW. **THE AREA BETWEEN THE ROW LINE AND THE JOINT USE ACCESS AND MAINTENANCE EASEMENT APPEARS TO BE WIDE ENOUGH TO ACCOMMODATE THE STREET LANDSCAPE BORDER.

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) for review and approval if applicable for this project.

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 and a Water Harvesting Implementation Plan. Preparation of the Rainwater Harvesting Plan elements requires coordination between project managers, site engineers and landscape architects from the inception of the project. The two elements of the Rainwater Harvesting Plan shall illustrate water harvesting how 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/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
