Design Review REVIEW COMPLETED PDF file of Design Professional's review is available in the TDC account for this project and in PRO. If you have any questions, please let me know: maria.gayosso@tucsonaz.gov, and please note all communications with the Design Professional must be done through staff. Thank you.
External Reviewers - COT Environmental Services REVIEW COMPLETED The proposed locations for all enclosures appear to work as shown.
For the east site plan I would recommend providing a double container enclosure where the single enclosure is shown currently and retain only one single along Arizona Ave.
For the west site plan consider repositioning the two single enclosures that are facing Russell Ave. so accessible from within the property.
Minimizing and/or eliminating users from outside the development would present a cleaner and safer option for all involved.
The overhead wires along the pathway for Arizona and Russell must provide a minimum overhead clearance 15 ft. with a 25ft overhead clearance at the point of the service operation and/or enclosure area.
Refer to TSM 8-01 for all storage and maneuvering requirements which must be included in detail within the proposed DP.

Feel free to contact me regarding my comments.

Based on the information provided TFD has the following comments:
1. Provide aerial access in accordance with IFC 2024, Appendix D 105.1 (please note TFD will not accept trees with mature height over 20' on the aerial access side of the building.)
2. Verify hydrant coverage. IFC 24, 507.5.1.1
Questions: patricia.shelton@tucsonaz.gov / 520.837.7082
Historic REVIEW COMPLETED Proposed buildings are located adjacent to two National Register historic districts--Barrio Santa Rosa to the west and Armory Park to the east. There are several contributing properties that front on the alleys that will be adversely impacted by the placement of the dumpsters. The dumpsters should be relocated to reduce their impact - where will trash pickup and maneuvering take place? At minimum, the receptacles should be screened and thought given to maneuvering to avoid pick up at the front of the homes that front the alley. Additionally, the design of the walls facing the alleys should be carefully considered to reduce impact to the contributing resources that front the alley. While the adjacent properties are not within the locally listed Historic Preservation Zone (HPZ) consideration should be given to providing a courtesy review to the Armory Park Historic Zone Advisory Board (APHZAB). Questions? Contact Desiree Aranda at desiree.aranda@tucsonaz.gov
ROW Engineering Review REVIEW COMPLETED TP-PRE-0625-00120 • 1001 S 6TH AV

Site Engineering REVIEW COMPLETED TP-PRE-0625-00120
1001 S 6TH AV

Site engineering comments are as follows:
1. Pedestrian circulation is required to connect all buildings, any dumpster areas, common use areas, and the sidewalk on the street frontage per TSM 7-01.4
2. First flush retention and balanced basin detention compliant with sections 2 and 3 of the Design Standards for Stormwater Detention and Retention (DSSDR) manual are required for the proposed project. Provide a drainage report which states how these requirements will be met.
3. Each site must function independently. Separate Development Packages may be required.

The minimum required number of long-term bicycle parking spaces for the residential / multifamily dwellings use is .5 spaces per bedroom or (99)(.5) = 50 long term bicycle spaces required.

The minimum required number of short-term bicycle parking spaces for the commercial use is 2 spaces.

The minimum required number of long-term bicycle parking spaces for the commercial use is 1 space per 12,000 Gross Floor Area or 22,850 sf / 12,000 sf = 2 long term bicycle spaces required.

9. Refer to 7.4.12. for Electric Vehicle Parking Design Criteria. Per UDC Table 7.4.11-1,

1000 S 6TH AV TUCSON, AZ 85701:
As the Commercial Use has yet to be defined in terms of the class and type specifically whether it be an accessory use, additional principal use or mixed-use, Zoning could not apply a standard for this category. Review Table 7.4.11-1 for EV Installed, EV Ready and EV Capable to account for (design) accordingly.

Residential Use / Multifamily Dwellings:
EV Installed: None required
EV Ready: 10% of motor vehicle parking spaces are required. (104)(10%) = 10 stalls required
EV Capable: 20% of motor vehicle parking spaces are required. (104)(20%) = 21 stalls required

1001 S 6TH AV TUCSON, AZ 85701:
Residential Use / Multifamily Dwellings:
EV Installed: None required
EV Ready: 10% of motor vehicle parking spaces are required. (130)(10%) = 10 stalls required
EV Capable: 20% of motor vehicle parking spaces are required. (130)(20%) = 26 stalls required

10. BOTH ADDRESSES:
Per Section 7-01.0.0 of the UDC Technical Standards Manual, an ADA accessible circulation path that is a minimum of 4’-0” wide is required to connect all areas of development within the site and to any adjacent street frontage. Pedestrian connectivity to E. 20th St. and S. 6th Av. and the proposed trash enclosures is required. Refer to 7-01.4.0. for Location.

11. BOTH ADDRESSES:
Per 7.4.6.D.1., Motor Vehicle Use Area Dimensions, zoning acknowledges your request to seek a reduction of the Parking Area Access Lane standard from 24’-0” to 22.8’. Per 7.4.10.D.10. a PAAL standard reduction cannot be modified by more than 5%. If this standard cannot be met, per 7.4.10.10.b.2. submit a Parking Design Modification Request (PDMR) as part of your Development Package submittal.

12. BOTH ADDRESSES:
Regarding modification requests for Pedestrian Access and Solid Waste Collection; As you are in the Greater Infill Incentive District (5.12.9):
Solid Waste Collection: Refer to 5.12.9.C.4.

13. BOTH ADDRESSES:
Upon submitting for development package review, two separate packages will be required, one for each address.

14. The comments provided are preliminary and are not to be assumed as a complete review of the proposal.

TW New Area Development REVIEW COMPLETED - TP-PRE-0625-00120 Pre-Application Conference Review v1 1001 S 6TH AV TUCSON, AZ 85701–

Tucson Water has no objections to, or comments on, the proposed development.


Tucson Water has no objections to the proposed development and offers the following comments for your convenience:

1. Serving this two projects there is an existing 8” PVC water main in 20th Street constructed per Plan No. 057-2000, that this project may connect to. See Tucson Water’s SE131413 valve map.

2. Each commercial building will be required to have its own water meter.

3. The required water meter size for each commercial building will be determined by a water fixture count conducted in accordance with the 2018 International Plumbing Code and Tucson Water’s Water Meter Sizing Guidelines. Tucson Water’s Water Meter Sizing Guidelines are available at https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/city-services/tucson-water/documents/signed_meter_sizing_guidelines_march_2020.pdf

4. If a 3” or larger water meter is needed for this development, the water meter will need to be located within a large meter enclosure that is a minimum of 25’ long x 10’ wide x 5’ high per Tucson Water Standard Detail SD-314. The entire large meter enclosure must be located on the property in a water easement granted to the City of Tucson.

5. Copies of any valve map(s) and/or ‘as-built’ plan(s) referenced in these comments may be obtained from Tucson Water’s Mapping & GIS Center by sending an e-mail request for them to TWMapInfo@tucsonaz.gov.


The above comments are based on the limited preliminary information provided by the applicant and should not be construed as a complete review of the proposal. Any questions, comments or concerns about these comments may be directed to:
