Please note: this is a cursory review based on what was submitted to the Pre-Application.

COMMENTS:
1. City of Tucson reviews middle housing projects under the IRC, please note that COT adopted the 2024 IRC on January 1, 2026.
2. City of Tucson adopted the 2024 IECC on January 1, 2026 and goes into effect July, 1, 2026 – please ensure that all plans adhere to those standards.
3. Ensure fire separation is achieve throughout all building – as these are 2 story duplexes, you will need fire separation between buildings and units.
4. Please ensure that all special inspections/deferred submittals are discussed at either a Pre-Con meeting with the General Contractor who understands the timing of when they are to be submitted. City of Tucson *will* withhold final C of O’s until they have been submitted. The should be submitted in a time manner in a fashion that fits the sequencing of the actual construction process, i.e Post Tension Special Inspection reports should be submitted shortly after they are performed – not the day before a C of O is to be sought.
5. Ensure you have settled all addressing issues prior to submittal – that is contact Pima County Addressing (https://www.pima.gov/2588/Addressing) and have new addresses for these units prior to your submittal of any and all building permits.
6. Ensure you have begun the process for any and all sewer/wastewater related permits through Pima County prior to the submission of any and all new building permits related to the site.

SUNSHINE MILE DISTRICT - SITE LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS AND COMMENTS:

1. Except as required by Subsection III.F, Development Transition Standards, a complete or partial exception to Section 7.6 of the UDC, Landscaping and Screening Standards, may be granted in order to encourage infill and redevelopment on constrained sites.

2. Section E of the Sunshine Mile Overlay District, shade shall be provided for at least fifty (50) percent of all sidewalks and pedestrian paths as measured at 2:00 pm on June 21 when the sun is 82 degrees above the horizon. Shade may be provided by trees, arcades, canopies, or shade structures provided their location and design characteristics are compatible with the historic and design context of the street and the architectural integrity of the building. The use of plantings and shade structures in the City Right-Of-Way is permitted to meet this standard with the approval of DTM. See (page III-10).

3. Upon submitting the landscape plan development package, provide documentation and calculations explaining how all of the Sunshine Mile District requirements are being met. Examples: 40% open space and minimum landscape area; environmentally conscious design practices; 70% of the parking areas will be shaded; 50% shade requirement for all sidewalks and pedestrian paths.

Planning & Development Services Department

FROM: Fernando L. García
Site Zoning Review Section

PROJECT:
122 S Olsen & 125 S Olsen Av, Tucson, AZ 85719
Parcels: 129-04-1940 and 129-04-1640
Pre-Submittal Conference
TP-PRE-0626-00125

TRANSMITTAL DATE: July 9, 2026

1. The proposed development must comply with the City of Tucson Unified Development Code (UDC) Administrative Manual Chapter 2-06 – Development Package. Building permits can be submitted and reviewed concurrently with the development package but the building plans cannot be approved until the development package is approved and the building plans are reviewed for consistency.

2. This site is zoned I-1. The proposed use of “Multifamily Development” is not an approved use in this zone. “Multifamily Development” would require utilization of the Sunshine Mile Urban Overlay District (SMD) in order to permit this use.

The proposed use of “Parking” is an approved use in this zone, subject to use-specific standards 4.9.13.Q.

3. The SMD is an optional overlay which may modify underlying development standards. The applicant must submit a separate Special Districts application, in addition to the development package application, in order to utilize the overlay option.

Within the SMD, these parcels fall within the Kino Subdistrict, Kino North Subarea.

4. Dimensional standards for this commercial project in an I-1 zone are below, for parcel 129-04-1940:

a. Setbacks:
i. West and north (adjacent to an alley): 10’
ii. South (adjacent to I-1 zoning): 0’
iii. East (adjacent to S Olsen Av, a local street): 20’
b. Height: 75’
c. Lot Coverage: N/A

5. Dimensional standards for this commercial project in an I-1 zone are below, for parcel 129-04-1640:

a. Setbacks:
i. South and east (adjacent to an alley): 10’
ii. North (adjacent to I-1 zoning): 0’
iii. West (adjacent to S Olsen Av, a local street): 20’
b. Height: 75’
c. Lot Coverage: N/A

6. Dimensional standards using the SMD for the Kino North Subarea are located in Figures IV.C.3.a(2)(a)-(d) of the SMD; these include required open space.

7. The minimum parking requirement for the underlying zone is required by UDC 7.4.4. Comply with UDC 7.4.6 Design Standards for the motor vehicle use area.

8. Bicycle parking is required per UDC 7.4.8. Comply with UDC 7.4.9 Design Standards.

9. EVSE Parking is required per UDC 7.4.11. Comply with UDC 7.4.12 Design Standards. EVSE requirements are not modified by the SMD and remain the same as those required by underlying zoning or UDC 7.4.4. For Multifamily Development, 10% of provided parking spaces must be EV Ready and 20% must be EV Capable.

10. Under the SMD, vehicular parking is required per SMD Subsection III.H and supersedes vehicular and bicycle parking provisions of UDC Section 7, except as noted in the SMD document.
a. Off-site parking, as proposed here, is permitted within 650 feet of the project site through a shared parking agreement. The parking lot must also meet the requirements of the SMD, including design, dimensional standards, and development standards.
b. Clarify where the parking area exits. If the intent is that this exit onto an adjacent property, a cross-access agreement will be required. The development package for the adjacent Trader Joe's shows a detention basin in the area that would allow the parking area to connect to the Trader Joe's property.
c. Per SMD Table III.H.1., parking for Multifamily Developments in the SMD is one space per dwelling unit.
d. Bicycle parking requirements are indicated in SMD Section III.H.5.

11. The comments provided are preliminary and are not to be assumed as a complete review of the proposal. During the Development Package/Tentative Plat review process, the Site Zoning Review Section will conduct a full review to assure compliance with applicable UDC development criteria and technical standards.

12. If you have any questions, please contact me at fernando.garcia2@tucsonaz.gov.
