Policies also call to prioritize, invest in, and maintain public infrastructure, including expanding the use of state-of-art, cost-effective technologies, and services for public infrastructure and facilities. South Pantano Area Plan The goals of the South Pantano Area Plan are to provide guidelines for proposed development, to protect existing development, and to create a sense of community within established neighborhoods. The South Pantano Area Plan contains no specific policies guiding utilities, however the Plan provides guidance for DMAFB. Policies: 1. Ensure compatibility of new development with existing and future operations of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. Implementation Techniques A. Rezoning requests should be reviewed on a case-by-case basis with regard to current and future base operations. B. Request Davis-Monthan Air Force Base Community Planning staff to review proposed development plans for the South Pantano area. C. Request a “fair disclosure statement” be part of any development plans, informational brochures, and sales/rental agreements, indicating that certain types of military air and ground training activities occur at Davis-Monthan. D. When a study is prepared which demonstrated extensive noise level problems related to Davis-Monthan activities, policies similar to those adopted in the Tucson International Airport Environs Plan should be applied to the appropriate Davis-Monthan Air Force Base high-noise areas. E. When Appropriate require developers to screen, buffer or orient developments, from Davis-Monthan Air Force Base properties. 2. Ensure compatibility of base operations with existing and potential adjacent development. Implementation Techniques A. Request Davis-Monthan Air Force Base Community Planning to review plans entailing future development, expansion or changes for compatibility with off-base development. Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses: The subject parcel is zoned SR (Suburban Ranch), and the predominant land use is aircraft storage associated with the DMAFB Boneyard facility. The project site itself represents only a small portion east of Kolb Road and south of Irvington Road. The land use to the south is The Boneyard. Irvington Road runs west-to-east immediately north of the project site. Across Irvington Road to the north the zoning is R-2 (Residential) and the land use is single family homes. Both Irvington Road and Kolb Road are designated arterials by the City of Tucson Major Streets and Routes Plan. The development site is not within an Airport Environs Zone. Analysis: Per recent code updates effectuated by Mayor and Council in April 2023, a zoning special exception procedure is not a requirement for this project. Per UDC 4.9.11.A: 12. The following requires approval in accordance with Section 3.3.4, 100’ Notice Procedure. The PDSD Director may forward the request to the Design Review Board (DRB) for design review and recommendation. a. Water pumping and storage facility upgrades or expansions, provided: (1) Existing setbacks are not altered. (2) Use Specific Standards 4.9.11.A.5, .9, .11, are met. Applicant should proceed with the 100’ Notice Procedure, staff is in support of this proposal. Due to proximity to the DMAFB Boneyard, external review by Davis-Monthan Air Force Base Community Planning staff will be required as an external review for your building permit. A plan amendment is not required. |
