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 is an existing site with minimal expansion of lot coverage. Site landscape improvements are not required.

*With that being said it is recommended to provide a few shade trees within the site area for heat island effect dampening, shade for the patrons, and aesthetics. If it is decided that shade trees will be provided to enhance the site, then provide the tree symbol location with a sawcut pattern of 34 square feet or greater for tree health, botanical and common name, and gallon size on the site plan. As always, blue stake underground utilities prior to saw cutting and tree installation. New trees will require a water source, preferably an underground drip irrigation system with a mounted controller. Alternative methods of water may be acceptable if approved by PDSD site landscape/site engineering department.

Thank you.

ZONING REVIEW COMMENTS SUMMARY:
1. Comment:
The comments provided are preliminary and are not to be assumed as a complete review of the proposal. During the Minor (less than 25% expansion) Development Package review process, the Zoning Review Section will conduct a full review to ensure compliance with applicable UDC development criteria and technical standards. https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/pdsd/documents/permits/minor_changes_to_commercial_industrial_sites_.pdf

2. Comment:
As proposed, this project meets the criteria of New commercial and residential buildings / Tenant improvement of a newly occupied space / Tenant improvements resulting in a change of square footage / Tenant improvement or renovations involving a change in the occupancy type, occupancy classification, or require a greater degree of safety.

A new Certificate of Occupancy will be required and the requirements are required under https://www.tucsonaz.gov/Departments/Planning-Development-Services/Permits/Occupancy-Certificates#section-1

3. Comment:
The proposed project appears to consider two lots 117-07-1930 and 117-07-1940 as a single site, under single ownership, and as part of a unified development. A lot-combination processed through Pima County could be required prior to final approval of this project. A link to the County Application: https://www.asr.pima.gov/Downloads/Forms/ComboRequest.pdf

4. Comment:
The required onsite parking is not shown on the site plan (Comment 15); If the intent is to not provide onsite parking, refer to Zoning Administration Review Comments.

5. Comment:
Per UDC Technical Standards Manual Section 7-01, a pedestrian circulation path is required to connect all areas of development, including accessible parking spaces, entrances, and dumpsters. A pedestrian circulation path to each adjacent street is also required.

TW New Area Development * REVIEW COMPLETED Based on the information provided and after reviewing the site, please note that all eight proposed food trucks cannot be connected to the same water meter service, especially since the two parcels (702 S Stone Ave and 709 S Stone Ave) are separate and have not been combined.
For the food trucks located at 702 S Stone Ave, we recommend installing a separate water meter service by tying into the existing 8-inch Cement Asbestos (CA) A-Zone water main located within the right-of-way of S 7th Ave.
If any new domestic water, irrigation water, or fire water services are needed to serve this proposed development, please contact Tucson Water’s New Services Section by calling 520-791-5164 or by sending an email to TW_Common@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 Abdullah Salman (Project Manager) at Abdullah.Salman@tucsonaz.gov.
Zoning Administration * REVIEW COMPLETED An Individual Parking Plan (IPP) is an option that can be used to reduce the required number of on-site vehicle parking spaces. This project is located within 400’ of an R-3 or more restrictive zone or Historic Preservation Zone and is subject to the 400’ Notice Procedure (UDC Section 3.3.5). A neighborhood meeting is required prior to submittal of an application. The IPP Narrative, sealed by a design professional licensed by the State of Arizona, must include the information as outlined in UDC Section 7.4.5.A.4.a – m. The following comment(s) are provided based on the current submittal:
1. This site is located within the Five Points area where there has been several developments that have utilized the IPP option to reduce off-street parking requirements. Some of the approved IPPs have overlap in certain areas. A study of available on-street parking during peak hours of operation should be provided as part of the application to demonstrate availability of parking for this use.
If you have questions on this transmittal, please email Mark.Castro@tucsonaz.gov
