| Entitlements | REVIEW COMPLETED | DATE: 8/16/2023 REVIEWED BY: Gabriel Sleighter, Planner CASE NUMBER: TP-PRE-0723-00279 Self Storage – 8750 E Golf Links Rd PROJECT ADDRESSES: 8750 E Golf Links Road PARCEL NUMBERS: 136-13-020A EXISTING ZONING: C-1 EXISTING USE: Vacant PROPOSED ZONING: C-2 PROPOSED USE: Personal storage use with a total building area of approximately 105,165 SF. PROJECT DESCRIPTION & LOCATION: The applicant is requesting a rezoning for a portion of an Authorized C-1 Zoning (C9-19-03) to Commercial (C-2). The 2.33-acre site is located approximately 500 feet east of the intersection of East Golf Links Road and South Pantano Parkway, on the south side of Golf Links Road. The site is currently vacant. The applicant seeks to develop a personal storage facility with up to a total building area of approximately 105,165 square feet. The project includes one 3-story building with a proposed building height of 40 feet. Current zoning, C-1 restricts the height of non-residential structures to 30 feet. C-2 zoning allows building heights of up to 40 feet, the height of the proposed self-storage facility. as the C-1 Zone restricts height for personal self-storage to 16-feet. APPLICANT NAME: Keri Silvyn E-MAIL: ksilvyn@lslawaz.com PLAN DIRECTION ADOPTED PLAN (S): PLAN TUCSON, THE MAJOR STREETS AND ROUTES OVERLAY, THE SOUTH PANTANO AREA PLAN – SUBAREA 5, AND PANTANO EAST AREA PLAN PLAN AMENDMENT REQUIRED BASED ON CONCEPT PRESENTED (SEE NOTES BELOW) 0 YES 0 NO X TO BE CONFIRMED LATER PLAN SUPPORT BASED ON CONCEPT PRESENTED (SEE NOTES BELOW): 0 YES 0 NO X WILL DEPEND ON DESIGN Applicable Plan Policies: Plan Tucson contains a variety of elements that are categories in four focus areas, including the Social Environment, the Economic Environment, the Natural Environment, and the Built Environment. Each focus area contains specific goals, and each element contains specific policies. The Future Growth Scenario Map illustrates different building blocks within the city that have specific policies to promote future growth opportunities. The proposed development lies within the Business Centers building block of the Future Growth Scenario Map. LT28.4.1 Support development in or adjacent to existing regional and community-level activity centers that will: d. Encourage infilling vacant or underutilized parcels adjacent to existing regional and community-level activity centers. LT28.4.6 Support environmentally sensitive design that protects the integrity of existing neighborhoods, complements adjacent land uses, and enhances the overall function and visual quality of the street, adjacent properties, and the community. LT.28.4.8 Protect established residential neighborhoods by supporting compatible development, which may include other residential, mixed-use infill and appropriate nonresidential uses. South Pantano Neighborhood Plan (SPNP) is intended to provide guidelines for future development, to protect existing development, and to create a sense of community within established neighborhoods. Relevant policies in SPNP include: Commercial Policy 1: Promote commercial development at appropriate locations in the area. a. Locate commercial uses at the intersection of major streets. Regional, community, and neighborhood lever commercial uses should be located at the intersection of arterial streets. Neighborhood and community level commercial uses may also be appropriate at the intersection of arterial and collector streets, if carefully integrated with surrounding uses. b. Require appropriate design elements (fences, walls, vegetation, etc.) during the rezoning and development review process when locating commercial uses in proximity to established neighborhoods. c. Rezoning to commercial uses should be based on all of the following: i. the site is located on the arterial street; ii. the proposed use is integrated with other adjacent residential uses; iii. access is only to collector or arterial streets; iv. all required parking and circulation is provided on site. d. Commercial development proposed near drainageways, washes, or rivers must be in compliance with Floodplain regulations. Subarea 5, Proposed Use: While general policies in this Plan recommend proposed commercial and urban density residential be located along major streets or at the intersection of major streets, requests for these types of development in Subarea Five should be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. If these parcels are developed for commercial or high-density residential uses, then special consideration should be given not only to buffering and setbacks but also to transitioning the proposed development to densities equivalent to or compatible to contiguous development. In all cases, development should be transitioned to or integrated with suburban development. Pantano East Area Plan (PEAP) provides guidelines for future growth, while protecting the existing development in the Pantano East Area. Commercial Policy 1: Promote commercial developments in appropriate locations in the area. Implementation Techniques a. Locate commercial uses at the intersection of major streets, where commercial zoning already exists. Regional, community, and neighborhood level commercial uses should be located at the intersection of arterial streets. Neighborhood and community level commercial uses may also be appropriate at the intersection of arterial and collector streets, if carefully integrated with surrounding uses. Major Streets and Routes Overlay: Golf Links Road is a designated Arterial Gateway Route per the MS&R, with a proposed width of 200 feet. Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses: North: Golf Links Road (Arterial Gateway, 150-foot ROW), C-1 opposite, neighborhood commercial land use. East: O-3, single family residential South: C-1, residential land use. West: Rezoning C9-22-08 authorized by Mayor & Council in November 2022, which changed the zoning west of the project area from C-1 to C-2. Currently vacant land, development package in review for a tire shop. Analysis: The applicant is proposing to rezone a 2.33-acre lot from C-1 (Commercial) to C-2 (Commercial). The existing use is vacant, and the applicant is proposing a change in zoning and to accommodate a personal storage use with up to 105,165 square feet of total building area. Plan Tucson supports environmentally sensitive design that protects the integrity of existing neighborhoods, complements adjacent land uses, and enhances the overall function and visual quality of the street, adjacent properties, and the community. The current parcel is projected to be split into two separate parcels, both individually rezoned to C-2 for the development of this personal storage facility, as well as a tire shop adjacent to the west. The proposal includes one 3-story building with a height of 40 feet. The C-1 zoning does not allow this building height. In this case, the dialogue with the neighbors resulted in a maximum height of that rezoning to C-2 of 30 feet instead of the 40 feet allowable in a C-2 zone. Some of the concessions made to neighbors south of the tire shop project should be reflected in the proposed design – landscaping and screening. The submitted site plan does not specifically indicate any such improvements. The solid waste facilities on the site plan show them located in the southeast corner of the lot, adjacent to residential uses on the east and south property lines. These facilities should be moved to a location further from neighboring residences. The rezoning to the west was authorized conditionally, with a maximum height of 30 feet. More discussion and community input will need to see if the full 40-foot allowable height can be pursued given previous conditions made near neighbors who will again be within 150 feet of a rezoning. The proposed rezoning is consistent with both Plan Tucson, Pantano East, and South Pantano Area Plans. Staff approval is dependent on the final design of the proposed project and community input. A plan amendment cannot be determined at this time. ADDITIONAL NOTES: Documents related to rezoning case C9-22-08 can be found here: https://pro.tucsonaz.gov/plandetails/C9-22-08/ |

There must be a NPPO. An NPPO is required per UDC 7.7.3-B. The NPPO is intended to encourage preservation in place of healthy native plants through sensitive site design that minimizes the disruption of areas within the site containing plants while allowing for salvage and transplantation of plants on the site that are likely to survive. 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. Maximize the number of preserve in place specimens to the fullest extent possible. 2. 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. 3. There will need to be a street landscape border on E Golf Links Rd per UDC 7.6.4.C-2 and Table 7.6.4-1. See UDC 7.6.4.C for landscape border requirements. 4. There will need to be a interior landscape border on the east & south sides of the site per UDC 7.6.4.C-2 and Table 7.6.4-1. See UDC 7.6.4.C for landscape border requirements. This includes walls to buffer sound from the neighboring residential properties. The walls shall be constructed of, or painted with, graffiti-resistant materials. The wall shall incorporate one or more of the following decorative materials: Tile; Stone ;Brick ;Adobe ;A textured material such as stucco or plaster; or metal. 5. Maximize rainwater harvesting across the entire site into the landscaped areas, this includes all landscape borders. 6. The use of flush curbs and parking blocks is strongly encouraged adjacent to all landscape borders to help maximize rainwater harvesting across the site and meet the Commercial Rainwater Harvesting and First Flush demands. 7. A Commercial Rainwater Harvesting Plan is required per The TSM 4-01.3.0. As part of the re-zoning conditions, the applicant should be able to illustrate how water harvesting will meet 60% of the annual landscape water demand, using treatments like flush curbs and basins in the landscape borders. 8. Adherence to the Low Impact Development Standards outlined in Section 5 of the PCRFCD Design Standards for Stormwater Detention and Retention is required. It 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 If you have any questions about these comments, I can be reached at Matthew.Carlton@tucsonaz.gov or 520-837-4988 |
