| Site Engineering * | REVIEW COMPLETED | TP-PRE-0725-00136 7777 E STELLA RD Site engineering comments are as follows: 1. Provide topographical data prior to development. If fill is to be placed so that home pads are elevated more than 2 feet, plus the thickness of the slab, above existing grade at any location within the outer 100 feet of the development, the requirements of the differential grading administrative process shall be applied.. UDC Article 2-01.8.1.A. 2. Depending on the elevation difference between the development and the adjacent existing grade, the top and toe of the fill slope must meet the guidelines set forth in TSM 2-01.9.0. 3. The top of cut slopes shall not be made nearer the site boundary line than one fifth of the vertical height of cut with a minimum of two feet and a maximum of ten feet. 4. The toe of fill slope shall be made not nearer to the site boundary line than one half of the height of the slope with a minimum of two feet. and a maximum of 20 feet. Where a fill slope is to be located near the site boundary and the adjacent off-site property is developed, special precautions shall be incorporated in the work as PDSD deems necessary to protect the adjoining property from damage resulting from such grading. 5. Trash service to lots 6 and 7 may cause the trash truck to be required to back up more than 80 feet. This may require Environmental Services review and approval. TSM Section 8. Andy Vera - Environmental Services Andy.Vera@tucsonaz.gov 6. Because the proposed area of disturbance is greater than one acre, a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is required for the site. This document is required for review of the Development Package. 7. Because of the infrastructure requirements necessary to create code compliant functional lots, a tentative plat showing all improvements including road, sewer, and water infrastructure will be required prior to submission of a Final Plat. Should construction of these improvements not be possible prior to the subdivision of the parcel, an assurance agreement will be required. Administrative Manual 2-06 8. Any required retention / detention basins will need to be located on common area per UDC Art 7.11.1.A & B 9. There shall be a buffer around basins to allow for maintenance. 10. Please provide dimensions on all streets for the formal submittal. Ryan Insalaco – ryan.insalaco@tucsonaz.gov (520) 937-5351 |

| Site Zoning * | REVIEW COMPLETED | CDRC TRANSMITTAL TO: Planning & Development Services Department FROM: Fernando L. García PDSD Zoning Review Section PROJECT: 7777 E Stella Rd, Tucson, AZ 85730 Parcel: 136210120 Zoning: R-1 Pre-Submittal Conference (1st Review) TP-PRE-0725-00136 TRANSMITTAL DATE: August 6, 2025 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. As this is an FLD project, a tentative plat and final subdivision plat will be required. 3. The project proposes to utilize the Flexible Lot Development standards as articulated in UDC 8.7.3 under the “Maximum FLD” option indicated in 8.7.3.D. Single-family attached or detached, and multifamily residential development in the R-2, R-3, O-1, O-2, O-3, C-1, C-2, and C-3 zones. 4. Maximum Density Option FLDs (Development Alternative B) permit site coverage of 70%, up to 6.25 dwelling units per acre, and a building height of 25’. Without a typical lot detail(s), anticipated site coverage cannot be determined. Provide typical lot detail(s) to facilitate a more complete review of the PDP. Without a “developable area” calculation per UDC 11.4.5, residential density cannot be confirmed. 5. Per UDC Table 8.7.3-2, 269 sf of functional open space (FOS) must be provided per unit. Given 98 proposed single-family units, a minimum of 26,362 sf of FOS is required. Given the Maximum Density Option FLD, the applicant is proposing to provide 20% more FOS than required, which would require 5,272 sf additional FOS. 6. Project site and interior lot line requirements are indicated in UDC 8.7.3.K and 8.7.3.L. 7. Building design and elevations must meet the design criteria indicated in UDC 8.7.3.M., including an architectural variation plan. 8. Privacy mitigation, as indicated in UDC 8.7.3.M.2.b through a Privacy Mitigation Plan, is required to the west and north where the project abuts existing single-family residential developments. 9. Ensure pedestrian circulation paths connect all areas of the development per UDC 8.7.3.J and TSM Article 7. None are demonstrated on the submitted plan. 10. 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. 11. If you have any questions, please contact me at fernando.garcia2@tucsonaz.gov. |

| TW New Area Development * | REVIEW COMPLETED | TP-PRE-0725-00136 (7777 E STELLA RD TUCSON, AZ 85730) Proposed 98-lot Flexible Lot Development residential subdivision: Based on the information provided, Tucson Water has no objections to, or comments on, the proposed development. 1. The owner/developer will need to construct all on-site and off-site public water mains necessary to serve this development at his or her own expense, and the following requirements will apply: a. The owner/developer will first need to obtain a Water Availability Letter from Tucson Water verifying this project is within Tucson Water’s service area. Note: 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 some other development processes, most notably the City Council’s final plat approval process. b. An overall water master plan will need to be prepared for this project and submitted to the local Fire Department and Tucson Water for review and approval. c. The overall master plan must show the proposed construction phasing for the new water mains, and the water main layout. During the water master planning of this project, please plan on looping the new on-site water mains to at least two different points in Tucson Water’s existing water distribution system as required by Section 8-06.4.2.A of Tucson Water’s Design Manual to meet water quality and fire flow requirements or explaining what legal and/or technical reasons prevent such looping. 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 line 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 size and construction 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 first be submitted to the local Fire Department for review. Upon the local fire department’s acceptance of the water master plan, it may be submitted to Tucson Water’s New Development section for review. 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 Tucson Water - New Area Development C: 520-307-6189 | Abdullah.Salman@tucsonaz.gov |
