EXISTING ZONING: O-3
PROPOSED ZONING: C-1
PROPOSED USE: Personal Service

PROJECT DESCRIPTION & LOCATION:
This is a request to rezone a 1.55-acre site from O-3 Office to C-1 Commercial, to allow for personal service land use. The parcel is located at the northwest corner of North Wilmot Road and E Lee Street, in Ward 6. Wilmot Road is a designated Arterial route per the Major Streets and Routes Overlay, with a width of 135 feet. The preliminary development plan proposes no exterior changes to the existing buildings or the project site.

The current O-3 zoning does not allow the proposed land use as shown on the development plan. The request to rezone this area to C-1 would permit this use. Land use policy direction for this site is provided by Plan Tucson and the Arcadia-Alamo Area Plan, Subarea 1.

PLAN DIRECTION

ADOPTED PLAN(S): Plan Tucson and the Arcadia-Alamo Area Plan
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 also provides the following policies related to the proposed rezoning:
LT9 Locate housing, employment, retail, and services in proximity to each other to allow easy access between uses and reduce dependence on the car.
LT.28.2.5 Support neighborhood commercial uses located at the intersections of arterial streets, arterial and collector streets, or collector street intersections.
LT28.2.12 Support environmentally sensitive design that protects the integrity of existing neighborhoods, complements adjacent land uses, and enhances the overall function and visual quality of the street, adjacent properties, and the community.

Arcadia-Alamo Area Plan
The site is within the boundaries of the Arcadia-Alamo Area Plan. The goal of the Plan is to guide future development while protecting and enhancing existing uses. The general goals of the Plan are to:
• Preserve and protect the integrity of established low-density neighborhoods.
• Identify appropriate locations for new development.
• Protect and enhance vegetation and open space along the Alamo, Arcadia, and Rosehill Washes.
• Provide safe and efficient circulation systems for all modes of transportation including pedestrian.

The Plan’s goals are supported by the following nonresidential subgoal:
• Provide for nonresidential uses in the Arcadia-Alamo Area that are designed in harmony with adjacent development. Establish design and location criteria for nonresidential uses adjacent to existing neighborhoods.

Land Use Policies –
A. Residential Policies
Policy 3:
Subarea 1, bounded by Pima, Wilmot, Speedway, and the Alamo Wash, should be allowed to transition to medium density residential uses within the interior and high density/office/commercial uses along the arterial streets.
B. Nonresidential Policies
Policy 5:
Support the development of well-designed, concentrated centers of pedestrian-oriented commercial/office activity at appropriate locations as shown on the Conceptual Land Use Map.


SURROUNDING ZONING AND USES:
The project site is located on the west side of Wilmot Road, an Arterial road as designated by the Major Streets and Routes overlay. The adjacent zoning and land use types to the site include:

East, across Wilmot Road – Zoned C-1 (Commercial), condominium complex.

South – Zoned C-1 (Commercial), strip development with personal services land uses.

West – Zoned O-3 (Office), office development with professional services land uses.

North – Zoned O-3 and C-2, O-3 area is professional services and medical office land use, and the C-2 area is Automotive – Minor Service and Repair (Tire shop), Food and Beverage Sales (Convenience Store), and General Merchandise Sales (Tobacco shop) land uses.

ANALYSIS:
The proposed zoning is consistent with both Plan Tucson and the Arcadia-Alamo Area Plan.

The requested C-1 zoning and Personal Service land use is consistent with the personal service land uses immediately to the south. The Area Plan’s Conceptual Land Use Map identifies the site for office, commercial, and higher density residential uses.


The applicant is encouraged to review the design guidelines and policies of the Arcadia-Alamo Area Plan.

Based on the policy direction provided by Plan Tucson and the Arcadia-Alamo Area Plan, a plan amendment will not be required at this time..
