| Signs | REVIEW COMPLETED | RE: sign review For: change of use from hotel to apartments AT: 1025 E Benson Hwy Presubmittal: TP-PRE-0623-00244 Date: 07/06/23 Reviewer: H. Thrall (Heather.Thrall@tucsonaz.gov Codes: Unified Development Code (7A) Sign Standards 1. UDC: This is a change of use from a hotel to multi-family apartments. Per UDC 7A.10.2.B. Table 2. Commercial Zones - section .4:- “Property where an approved site plan, development plan or plat provides for a multi-family dwelling as the principal use, shall follow the standards of the multi-family zone category.” Freeway signs and pole signs are not permitted within the multi-family zone category. The site presently has a freeway sign that would require removal, and a pole sign that would require modification, given the preliminary information provided in this presubmittal review. Please note, maximum sign area allowed for multi-family residential is 50 square feet. Please reach out to me for further discussion. 2. Please clarify your parking for the restaurant with bar use. The restaurant use, if open to the public, may have a sign area ratio of 3 square feet per linear foot of building frontage along Benson Hwy, not to exceed 30% of sign area on elevations where signage is displayed. 3. Please consult the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control for requirements for liquor licensing, as this location was likely licensed as a hotel for consumption. Depending on revisions resubmitted, further review comments may be forthcoming. I may be reached at Heather.Thrall@tucsonaz.gov if you have any questions. |

| Site Landscape | REVIEW COMPLETED | CDRC TRANSMITTAL PROJECT: OCOTILLO APARTMENTS ACTIVITY NO. TP-PRE-0623-00244 ADDRESS/PARCEL: 1025 E BENSON HY /132-13-0490 ZONING: C-2, I-1 This plan has been reviewed for compliance with applicable development criteria in the City of Tucson Unified Development Code (UDC) Administrative Manual (AM) Section 2-11 and Technical Manual (TM) Section for landscape, native plants and water harvesting. 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 Landscape/NPPO to assure compliance with the applicable UDC development criteria and Technical Standards. COMMENTS: 1. There must be a NPPO or NPPO waiver. An NPPO is required per UDC 7.7.3-B. A Native Plant Preservation Plan, Section 7.7.4, is required to be submitted or approved or a request for an exception from the Native Plant Preservation requirements approved in accordance with Sections 7.7.3.D.3 & .4 of the UDC and Admin. Manual Section 2-11.0.0 prior to Grading Plan approval. 2. A landscape plan is required per 7.6.2.B.1-b. The Unified Development Code (UDC) 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. Ensure the required number of trees is in all vehicular parking areas (1 tree: 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. Bring the street landscape border on Benson HWY up to code per UDC 7.6.4.C-2 and Table 7.6.4-1. See UDC 7.6.4.C for landscape border requirements. 5. Bring the interior landscape border on the east & west sides of the site up to code per UDC 7.6.4.C-2 and Table 7.6.4-1. See UDC 7.6.4.C for landscape border requirements. 6. See Engineering notes for Retention/Detention. 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. The Landscape Plan should match the Commercial Rainwater Harvesting Plan as well as the Grading Plan. Landscape plan should have spot elevations in the detention/retention areas as well as in all water harvesting areas in the Landscape Plan. 9. Maximize the rainwater harvesting across the site into the landscape areas, including but not limited to the street landscape borders as well as the tree wells for the required trees for the parking lot. 10. As the site is not being repaved, PDSD cannot ask for a commercial rainwater harvesting plan, but it would behoove the applicant to ensure that the required landscaping is getting a large percentage of the necessary water from rainwater harvesting. If you have any questions about these comments, I can be reached at Matthew.Carlton@tucsonaz.gov or 520-837-4988 |
