| Historic | REVIEW COMPLETED | Property is listed as a contributing resource to the Sunshine Mile National Register Historic District (NRHD) and Urban Overlay District (UOD). Since the property is city-owned and within a NRHD, AD 1-07.7 requires review by the Plans Review Subcommittee. When submitting for the permit, please provide the updated documentation. Demolition of the contributing resource eliminates the use of the UOD as noted in the Sunshine Mile UOD document, unless it can be relocated. Per Section K.3.c(2), if relocation proves physically or economically infeasible demolition may be allowed after preparation of a Historic American Buildings Survey (“HABS”) Level III report (to be reviewed and approved by the CHPO) and pursuant to UDC Section 5.8.10.E., Demolition Review for Historic Contributing Properties and Historic Landmarks. Section 5.8.10.E provides all the documents that will be need to show economic infeasibility that will need to be provided. |

| Site Landscape | REVIEW COMPLETED | CDRC TRANSMITTAL PROJECT: FIRE STATION 3 ACTIVITY NO. TP-PRE-0823-00298 ADDRESS/PARCEL: 24 N NORRIS AV/129-04-138A ZONING: R-2 This plan has been reviewed for compliance with applicable development criteria in the City of Tucson Unified Development Code (UDC) Administrative Manual (AM) Section 2-11 and Technical Manual (TM) Section for landscape, native plants and water harvesting. 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 Landscape/NPPO to assure compliance with the applicable UDC development criteria and Technical Standards. COMMENTS: 1. If the landscape architect is from outside of the City of Tucson and is unfamiliar with the development code requirements around landscaping, it is HIGHLY recommended they reach out to Matthew Carlton at their earlies convenience to work through any submittal issues that may arise. 2. There must be a NPPO waiver. An NPPO is required per UDC 7.7.3-B. 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. 3. A landscape plan is required per 7.6.2.B.1-b. The Unified Development Code (UDC) 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. 4. There also needs to be an irrigation plan and all associated details. 5. 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. In the case of this protective services building, Landscape/NPPO will allow parking diamonds to achieve this. 6. There will need to be a street landscape border on Norris Av & UDC 7.6.4.C-2 and Table 7.6.4-1. See UDC 7.6.4.C for landscape border requirements. 7. See Engineering notes for Retention/Detention. 8. 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. 9. Maximize the rainwater harvesting across the site into the landscape areas, including but not limited to the street landscape borders as well as the tree wells for the required trees for the parking lot. 10. 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 for Stormwater Detention and Retention is required and 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 11. The Commercial Rainwater Harvesting Plan must utilize the Site Water Budget (located here: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/Departments/Planning-Development-Services/Building-Safety/Water-Energy-Conservation). See TSM 4-01.0.0 Exhibit A. The Site Water Budget is how the Water Dept tracks the irrigation water use on-site, not first flush retention volume charts.

| Traffic Engineering Review | REVIEW COMPLETED | TP-PRE-0823-00298 24 N. Norris Ave. Comments: 1. Existing pedestrian access along Norris Ave needs to be maintained. (Not the existing sidewalk, just ADA compliant access north along Norris.) 2. New entrances on Norris Ave will need to be ADA compliant for pedestrian travel north bound along Norris. 3. The tie-in at the alley on Norris needs to also be ADA compliant. 4. Concerning the angled entrance off of Broadway. The “Gate” posse’s potential problems if a random vehicle were to pull in, they would have to back out onto Broadway. This is not allowed. Options are, a. Do not install the gate. Vehicles unintentionally pulling in there could then pull through out on to Norris and not have to back out into Broadway. b. Provide an adequate turn-around at the end of the entrance. This would need to be drawn on the DP with dimensions and a standard single cab truck used to depict a Three-Point turn. David Stiffey DTM Project Coordinator David.Stiffey@tucsonaz.gov |
