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. 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. They 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.

2. UDC 7.6.2. APPLICABILITY
The provisions of this section apply to the following: All new developments require the submittal of a landscape plan set. Preparation of the landscape plans shall adhere to UDC 7.6 and Administrative Manual 2-10.

3. Parking lot canopy trees are required at 1 tree for every 4 parking spaces provided, see UDC 7.6.4.B. Structurally covered parking spaces do not count toward the ratio, see UDC 7.6.4.B.1.c (8). Trees are to be distributed evenly throughout the parking area, see UDC 7.6.4.1.a.(1). See Technical Standards Manual 5-01.3.0 for additional landscaping in vehicular use area requirements.

4. Street landscape borders per UDC 7.6.4.C.2 and Table 7.6.4-1 and proposed Commercial land use along MS&R and non-MS&R:
A. E Valencia Rd requires a 10’ landscape border and a 30” screen located at the rear perimeter of the landscape border. All street landscape borders should be designed on the project side of the ROW/Future ROW.

5. DTM review is required for all planting and irrigation in the ROW prior to the approval of the development package. Reach out to David Marhefka (david.marhefka@tucsonaz.gov) for review and approval if applicable for this project.

6. A drip irrigation plan and details are required for all proposed landscape planting areas.

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. A Commercial Rainwater Harvesting plan is required: See Technical Standards Manual 4-01.3.0 RAINWATER HARVESTING PLAN. A Rainwater Harvesting Plan shall be submitted with all applications for commercial developments at which landscaping is required. The Rainwater Harvesting Plan shall consist of two elements: a Site Water Budget and a Water Harvesting Implementation Plan. Preparation of the Rainwater Harvesting Plan elements requires coordination between project managers, site engineers and landscape architects from the inception of the project. The two elements of the Rainwater Harvesting Plan shall illustrate water harvesting how will meet 50% of annual landscape water demand, as required by the ordinance.

9. Coordinate the Landscape Plan, Commercial Rainwater Harvesting Plan and the Civil Grading Plans to have identical basin size, grades/percent slopes, spot elevations and curb cut inlet and outlet locations.

10. Maximize rainwater harvesting across the site into all landscape areas, including the street landscape borders and planting islands for the required trees in the parking area.

11. A separate irrigation water meter is required. Please label irrigation meter as “irrigation only”. See TSM 4-01.6.0. Or see City of Tucson Ordinance 10597 -- Sec. 6-182. Rainwater Harvesting Plan: Number 3 (a) A separate water meter connected to the main water supply; or (b) An irrigation sub-meter.

12. **If it is determined that any of the above provided site landscape standards cannot be met due to the nature of the development, then a Design Development Option (DDO) may be an option to gain partial relief from some landscape requirements, see UDC 3.11.1.B.3 for landscape and screening modifications allowed. A Board of Adjustment Variance to the UDC site landscape requirements is also a viable alternative. Please reach out to Mark Castro or Georgia Pennington with PDSD for more information on the DDO and Variance process. Mark.Castro@tucsonaz.gov – Georgia.Pennington@tucsonaz.gov

3. An application for a lot line readjustment, TD-DIV-1125-00104, that affects this site is still requiring customer action to complete. Please complete actions on this permit prior to submittal of the development package for this project.

4. The minimum required setback to E Valencia Rd, a Major Street & Route (MS&R), is 10’. The minimum required setback to the west, south, and east, adjacent to C-2 zoning is 0’, not 5’ as indicated on the site plan.

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

TW New Area Development * REVIEW COMPLETED Based on the information provided, Tucson Water has no objections to the proposed development.
A potential water service option for this proposed development is to connect to the existing 8-inch Drain Valve Assembly (DVA) located on the southwest side of the Chase Bank building, adjacent to Lot# 9210. From this connection point, the proposed water main should be extended through the development and looped back to the existing 16-inch cement asbestos (CA) water main located within the right-of-way of E. Valencia Road along the north side of the parcel. This looping configuration would provide a redundant water supply and is consistent with Tucson Water's preference for a looped distribution system.
Water pressure in this area is 76-83 PSI at an elevation of 2920ft. Water pressure can vary by an additional 5 psi +/-.
For development, a looped water system will be required. If such looping is not technically feasible, a written explanation of what legal and/or technical reasons prevent such looping must accompany the Master Water Plan when it is submitted for review. (A Letter of Variance)
A Water master plan will need to be prepared for this project and submitted to Tucson Water and local Fire Department for review and approval. The master plan must show the water main layout and identify if there is construction phasing for the new water mains.
The Water Master Plan and detailed Water Design Plan are separate submittals that must be made through Tucson Water’s electronic plan portal at https://cityoftucsonaz-energovweb.tylerhost.net/apps/selfservice#/home, or can be combined into an “at risk” submittal.
More information about Tucson Water’s Water Master Plan and detailed Water Design Plan processes can be found on-line at https://www.tucsonaz.gov/Departments/Planning-Development-Services/Frequently-Asked-Questions/Tucson-Development-Center-Online-Instructions
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.
