| Site Engineering | REVIEW COMPLETED | Tucson codes and ordinances can be found online at https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/tucson/latest/overview The Stormwater Retention-Detention Manual can be found online at https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/pdsd/documents/engineering-code/updated-retention-detention-manual.pdf 1. A lot combination will be required prior to development. 2. Balanced basin detention and first flush retention is required. 3. Maximize water harvesting to all landscaped areas through the use of curb cuts and flush curbs. 4. A waste enclosure compliant with TSM 8-01 is required. 5. Provide pedestrian circulation to the proposed solid waste location and out to the sidewalk along the street frontage. 6. A back-up spur is compliant with UDC 7.4.6 F is required for parking spaces 12 and 13. 7. 1. From recent clarification from Environmental Services per TSM section 8, although recycling service isn’t required the site needs to provide at minimum the enclosure space for both solid waste and recycling. A single enclosure won’t be sufficient and a double enclosure or additional single enclosures will be needed to meet this requirement. It is also important to point out per TSM section 8-01.4.I - required parking may be reduced for existing development when solid waste and recycling enclosures are provided.

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 an NPPO waiver due to the existing nature of the site. 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. This includes the parking area on the east side of the site. 4. There will need to be a street landscape border on E Sahuaro St per UDC 7.6.4.C-2 and Table 7.6.4-1. See UDC 7.6.4.C for landscape border requirements. 5. There will need to be an interior landscape border on the North side of the site per UDC 7.6.4.C-2 and Table 7.6.4-1. due to the difference in zoning between the parcels. See UDC 7.6.4.C for landscape border requirements. 6. While Landscape/NPPO recognizes that the drawings presented are conceptual, please note that the City of Tucson instituted an ornamental turf ban, which all of the green space located on the presented drawings is. Please ensure that this is not part of your submittal, otherwise it will be rejected outright. 7. See Engineering notes for Retention/Detention. 8. 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. 9. 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. 10. 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. 11. A Commercial Rainwater Harvesting plan is required per UDC Technical Standards Manual – Section 4-01.3.0. and Section 5-01.0.0 Landscaping and Screening. Adherence to the Low Impact Development Standards outlined in Section 5 of the PCRFCD Design Standards for Stormwater Detention and Retention is required and shall work in conjunction with the Commercial Rainwater Harvesting design. Using Low Impact Development design and water harvesting provides critical basin detention and first flush retention for all new development and impervious area. The newly adopted Detention/Retention Manual can be found: https://webcms.pima.gov/UserFiles/Servers/Server_6/File/Government/Flood%20Control/Rules%20and%20Procedures/Stormwater%20Detention-Retention/dssdr-final-201406-manual.pdf With CoT edits to the manual are found at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/pdsd/codes/Detention_Retention_Manual_Tech_Standards_Amemdments.pdf 12. The Commercial Rainwater Harvesting Plan must utilize the Site Water Budget (located here: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/Departments/Planning-Development-Services/Building-Safety/Water-Energy-Conservation) See TSM 4-01.0.0 Exhibit A.
