NO. 20092100324, tentative plat - S07-101 *This plan has been reviewed for compliance with applicable development criteria in the City of Tucson Unified Development Code (UDC) Administrative Manual (AM) Section 2-6 and Technical Standards Manual (TSM) Section for waste management, Pedestrian Access, Hydrology -Retention/Detention Requirements, and all site standard code.* City of Tucson Code: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/Departments/Planning-Development-Services/Codes Drainage Manual Link: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/pdsd/documents/engineering-code/cot-drainage-manual-searchable.pdf Design standards for Stormwater Detention and Retention Link: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/pdsd/documents/engineering-code/updated-retention-detention-manual.pdf Site Engineering Review Comments: 1. As the proposed development falls under commercial standards, a site-specific Geotechnical Investigation Report prepared by a Registered Professional Engineer licensed in the State of Arizona is required [IBC 1803]. The report shall be submitted with the development package submission. The report shall, at minimum, address the following: a. Soil Bearing Capacity & Site Classification – Including soil bearing capacity, site classification, expansive soil identification, and groundwater conditions, with all applicable foundation design recommendations for the proposed construction. b. Grading & Earthwork – The report shall provide recommendations for site preparation, fill compaction standards, and the suitability of on-site materials for reuse as engineered fill. c. Pavement Design – The report shall include pavement design recommendations for all proposed drive aisles, parking areas, and access improvements, including R-value or CBR testing results as applicable. d. Retaining Walls – Where retaining walls are proposed, the report shall address lateral earth pressures, backfill requirements, and wall foundation recommendations. (IF applicable) 2. A grading permit is required as this proposal involves a commercial site or is subject to City drainage requirements. All grading plans must be prepared, signed, and sealed by a licensed Arizona Civil Engineer and submitted in accordance with TSM 2-01.0.0, the grading plan submittal shall include: a. Regulatory Compliance: Demonstrate compliance with TSM 2-01.0.0. b. Existing Conditions: Depict existing topography with 1- or 2-foot contour intervals; include benchmark and datum reference (NAVD 88). c. Proposed Grading: Show proposed contours and/or spot elevations throughout the site, including finished grade elevations at all building corners, parking areas, and drainage structures. d. Limits of Disturbance (LOD): Delineate the full extent of all proposed grading, including all drainage-related improvements. e. Cut & Fill Quantities: Provide total area of disturbance (sq. ft.) and total cut and fill volumes (Earthwork Table). f. Pedestrian Pathway Slopes: Label percent slopes on all pedestrian pathways for ADA compliance (max. 2% cross-slope; max. 5% running slope). g. Basin & Wall Elevations: Identify top and bottom elevations for all retention/detention basins and retaining walls. h. Regulated Area Delineation: Clearly depict the 100-year floodplain limits, Protected Riparian Area (PRA), and Erosion Hazard Setback (EHS) on the grading plan in a surveyable manner. i. Engineer of Record: Include signed and sealed Engineer of Record stamp and signature block. j. Floodplain Notation: If grading is proposed within a mapped floodplain boundary, a Floodplain Use Permit will be required through the City of Tucson. 3. Detention/Retention requirements are considered satisfied, as the commercial subdivision was designed to account for the overall peak discharge from the subject site. This determination is contingent upon the proposed development remaining within the limits of disturbance and impervious coverage established by the approved tentative plat; any exceedance would require re-evaluation of the site's detention & retention obligations. a. A drainage statement would be required at a minimum IF based on any potential layout requirements from landscape from the original DP, the proposed locations of any first flush and water harvesting needs and how this design accounts for those changes (design layout requirements). b. Final Plat discusses the need for 1-yr minimal inspection reports from owners for drainage facilities. It will be necessary that it be confirmed that a yearly inspection has been completed and submitted to the City of Tucson Department of Transportation for the subdivision's applicable assurable drainage items, including the detention basin and Santa Cruz Channel protection. 4. Ensure to provide keynotes and call-outs identifying all new structure downspouts and sidewalk scupper locations on the site plan sheets. Sidewalks shall be flood free for all storm discharges up to and including a ten-year frequency flood event, and drainage flowing across any pedestrian circulation path shall be conveyed under the path for up to and including the ten-year frequency flood events. [TSM 7-01.4.1.E and 7-01.4.3.E] This information is required to demonstrate compliance and to ensure coordination with building permit plan review. 5. Ensure that the submitted site plan and grading plan sheets contain all applicable final plat information, including established easements and determined erosion hazard setbacks. *** Please note: this review is for Pre-Application purposes. Please be aware that additional comments may be forthcoming during formal review process. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Joe Macaulay. Joe.Macaulay@tucsonaz.gov |

| Site Landscape * | REVIEW COMPLETED | PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT REVIEWER: CHAD KELLER, PLA SITE LANDSCAPE/NATIVE PLANT PRESERVATION SECTION PROJECT: PROPOSED SITE REDEVELOPMENT; BUILDING 2 - (RELATED TO RIVERFRONT PLAZA, S07-101) ACTIVITY NO: TP-PRE-0526-00099 ADDRESS: 1370 W IRVINGTON RD ZONING: COMMERCIAL ZONE (C-1) LAND USE: COMMERCIAL 6.22.2026 THE COMMENTS PROVIDED ARE PRELIMINARY AND ARE NOT TO BE ASSUMED AS A COMPLETE REVIEW OF THE PROPOSAL. DURING THE DEVELOPMENT PACKAGE REVIEW PROCESS, A FULL REVIEW WILL BE MADE BY THE SITE LANDSCAPE/NPPO REVIEW SECTION TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE CITY OF TUCSON UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE, TECHNICAL STANDARDS MANUAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE MANUAL REQUIREMENTS FOR SITE LANDSCAPE, NATIVE PLANTS AND RAINWATER HARVESTING. SITE LANDSCAPE/NPPO COMMENTS: 1. This proposal is part of an originally approved tentative plat for the Riverfront Plaza, S07-101. The approved tentative plat had substantial landscape planting improvements. As part of this development, it will be required to make sure that the parking lot trees that have died or have been removed in the parking are south and east of the site are included on this development package. It will also require an update to the 10-foot landscape border to the north of the site. The north border appears to be missing trees and shrubs. 2. New plantings beyond what is stated above are not required, but it is strongly recommended to add additional shade trees and vegetative ground cover plants in areas that appear to be planting beds on site. IE: directly north of the new building. Depress any new planting areas 6 inches and direct flow from the building and/or sidewalk to the depressed planting area. 3. A planting plan, details, notes and specifications will be required to show compliance with the above-mentioned comments. Irrigation exists on site. Please include leader callouts for tapping into the existing system where needed for the updated plant material on site. 4. Any drainage form the building roof, and surrounding hardscape should be directed toward all existing and proposed planting areas. Thank you.
