A Native Plant Preservation Plan, Section 7.7.4, must be submitted and approved or a request for an exception from the Native Plant Preservation requirements shall be approved in accordance with Sections 7.7.3.D.3 & .4 of the UDC and Administrative Manual Section 2-11.0.0 prior to Grading Plan approval. PDSD will provide the applicant with the NPPO Waiver form upon request.

2. A landscape plan is required per UDC 7.6.2.B.1-b. The Unified Development Code requires all new development, or an expansion of greater than 25% of an existing development to submit a landscape plan, UDC 7.6.2. Preparation of the landscape plan shall adhere to UDC 7.6.4 and Administrative Manual 2-10.

3. Provide the required number of trees in all vehicular parking areas (1 tree to 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.

4. A street landscape border is required along Benson Hwy and Campbell Ave per UDC 7.6.4.C-2 and Table 7.6.4-1. See UDC 7.6.4.C for landscape border requirements.

5. Campbell Ave is in the Gateway Corridor Zone, See UDC 5.5 GATEWAY CORRIDOR ZONE (GCZ) - 5.5.1. PURPOSE:
The purpose of this overlay zone is to implement policies in the City ’s General Plan, the Regional Transportation Plan, and the Air Quality Plan, with specific emphasis on the Major Streets and Routes (MS&R) Plan . The MS&R Plan projects the future arterial and collector street needs of the community and is a tool to implement the development of a safe and efficient street system and the design of all land uses serviced by that system, while assuring the economic viability of new and expanding land uses and the continued economic stability of the community. These goals are achieved by providing for the visual improvement of major streets and routes designated as Gateway Routes by implementing standards for the design and landscaping of the roadway and adjacent development, thereby providing:
A. A favorable visual impression of Tucson to tourists and visitors at entry points to the city and on routes leading to major recreation attractions.
B. Enhancement of the built environment along routes of important commercial development; C. Incentives for private investment and economic development by providing an attractive streetscape.
D. Aesthetic buffering through the implementation of screening or siting of developmental elements that are incompatible with the urban character of adjacent uses.
E. The improvement and use of the pedestrian environment along major transit routes.
F. Some measure of air quality control by requiring landscaping with live vegetation to assist in purifying the air of carbon dioxide through oxygenation and dilution.

6. DTM approval 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) if necessary for this project.

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 per UDC Technical Standards Manual – Section 4-01.3.0. and Section 5-01.0.0 Landscaping and Screening. Adherence to the Low Impact Development Standards outlined in Section 5 of the PCRFCD Design Standards is required.

9. The Landscape Plan should match the Commercial Rainwater Harvesting Plan as well as the Grading Plan. The Landscape Plan should have spot elevations in the detention/retention areas as well as in all water harvesting areas in the Landscape Plan.

10. Maximize the 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. The Commercial Rainwater Harvesting Plan must utilize the Site Water Budget. See TSM 4-01.3.1 Exhibit A. If a copy of the water budget spreadsheet is needed, please reach out to Site Landscape/NPPO and I will provide the spreadsheet. The Site Water Budget is how the Water Department tracks the irrigation water use on-site, not first flush retention volume charts.

12. A separate irrigation water meter is required. Please label irrigation meter as “irrigation only”. See TSM 4-01.6.0

TW New Area Development REVIEW COMPLETED TP-PRE-0724-00159 - Pre-Application Conference Review v1 – 1767 E BENSON HY

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

1. There is an existing 8” cement asbestos water main in the Benson Highway constructed per Plan No. 065-1977 and an existing 12” cement asbestso water main in Kino Avenue/Campbell Avenue constructed under Plan No. 132-1983 that this project may connect to. See Tucson Water’s NE311414 and NW321414 valve maps.

2. Copies of the 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.

3. The water pressure in this area at ground level (based on elevation) is estimated to be in the 74-81 psi range. Private on-site water pressure booster stations may or may not be necessary to serve the upper floors of multi-story buildings this development.

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

5. 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

6. 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.

7. The owner/developer will need to construct an on-site public water main in the parking area access lanes of this project to serve this development at his or her own expense. The owner/developer will also need to construct any off-site public water mains necessary to serve this development at his or her own expense.

8. The following requirements will apply to the design and construction of the new public water mains:
a. The owner/developer will first need to obtain a Water Availability Letter from Tucson Water via the Tucson Development Center Online website that verifies this project is within Tucson Water’s service area. This document is required for all projects, even though it may be obvious that the project is within Tucson Water’s service area. It is used in many other development processes, most notably the City Council’s final plat approval process.
b. A master water plan showing the proposed water main layout will then need to be prepared for this project.
c. The proposed new on-site water mains will need to connect at least two different points in Tucson Water’s existing water distribution system and form a loop as required by Section 8-06.4.2.A of Tucson Water’s Design Manual to meet water quality and fire flow requirements. If such looping is not legally or 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.
d. The new public water mains will also need to be located within public or private streets to the maximum extent practicable. Where this is not practicable, the new water mains will need to be centered within public water easements that are a minimum of 15’ wide and lie on smallest number of private parcels possible.
e. The local fire department’s fire flow requirement for the building type, the fire hydrants and the fire department’s vehicular access also need to be shown on the water master plan.
f. The water master plan must be submitted for review and acceptance via the Tucson Development Center Online website, wherein it will be routed to Tucson Fire Department and Tucson Water reviewers for review.
g. Upon the Fire Department’s and Tucson Water’s acceptance of the water master plan, a detailed water design plan for the new water mains must be prepared
h. The detailed water design plan must also be submitted to Tucson Water’s New Development section for review and acceptance via the Tucson Development Center Online website
i. The owner of the property will need to enter into a Construction Agreement with Tucson Water regarding the construction of the new water mains before Tucson Water will accept the detailed water design plan.
j. Upon Tucson Water’s acceptance of the detailed design plan, the detailed design plan must be submitted to Pima County Development Services Department for an ADEQ Approval To Construct to comply with State of Arizona law.
k. Only after all the above tasks have been completed, may the owner/developer schedule a Pre-Construction Meeting with Tucson Water’s Construction section to schedule the start of the new public water main construction.

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:
