SITE LANDSCAPE/NPPO COMMENTS: 1. A NPPO or a NPPO Waiver is required per UDC 7.7.3-B. 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.

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.

| Site Zoning | REVIEW COMPLETED | CDRC TRANSMITTAL TO: Planning & Development Services Department FROM: Fernando L. García PDSD Zoning Review Section PROJECT: 2446 N Balboa Av Parcel(s): 107-12-3350 Zoning: O-3 Office Pre-Submittal Conference (1st Review) TP-PRE-0824-00180 TRANSMITTAL DATE: August 5, 2024 DUE DATE: August 5, 2024 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. Multifamily development is a permitted use in the O-3 zone. The land use group is “residential use group”. The class is “family dwelling”. The type is “multifamily development”. 3. The submitted plans show a lot dimension of 53’ along Balboa Street. According Pima County’s Assessor Parcel Map for this property, this parcel has dimensions of 60’ x 300’. 4. Per UDC Table 6.3-3.A, multifamily development in an O-3 is limited to 40’ in height. There is no lot coverage maximum. Minimum setbacks are 10’ or ¾ building wall height, whichever is greater. Along Balboa Av, the street setback is 20’. Maximum permitted residential density is 22/acre (this would permit up to nine dwellings on the parcel). 5. This parcel, and the one immediately to the south (APN 107-14-2260), appear to historically have functioned as one site and continue to do so, under the same owner. In addition, the parcels share access and maneuverability. Parcels that share access, maneuverability, and/or parking are considered one site. As such, this project would be considered an expansion in use over 25% which would require the entire site (both parcels) to meet current development standards as indicated in UDC Article 7. 6. Separate access from Balboa onto the property through a new curb cut would require approval from the Department of Transportation and Mobility. 7. Parking area access lane width may also be determined by Tucson Fire’s requirements for access into and out of the property based upon finalized designs. 8. Per UDC Table 7.4.4-1, six dwelling units with two bedrooms each would require a total of 12 parking spaces (two spaces per unit), with one required to be van accessible. Two short-term bicycle parking spaces and six long-term bicycle parking spaces would also be required. These parking requirements would increase based upon confirmation of the number of dwellings and bedrooms on the southern parcel. 9. Parking reductions are listed in UDC Section 7.4.5. Among these are an Individual Parking Plan (IPP) which requires a public mailing. More information about the IPP process can be found by contacting Mark Castro at mark.castro@tucsonaz.gov or 520-837-4979. 9. Per UDC Table 7.4.11-1, 10% of required vehicle parking spaces are required to be EV ready and 20% are required to be EV capable. 10. UDC Technical Standards Manual (TSM) Chapter 7-01, pedestrian circulation is required on site, connecting each unit, trash receptacles, and parking areas. Pedestrian circulation must connect to the street. Pedestrian circulation should be designed so as to not bifurcate access lanes and shown on the submitted plan. 11. The comments provided are preliminary and are not to be assumed as a complete review of the proposal. During the Development Package review process, the Zoning Review Section will conduct a full review to assure compliance with applicable UDC development criteria and technical standards. 12. If you have any questions, please contact me at fernando.garcia2@tucsonaz.gov. |

| TW New Area Development | REVIEW COMPLETED | TP-PRE-0824-00180 - Pre-Application Conference Review v1 – 2446 N BALBOA AV Tucson Water has no objections to the proposed development and offers the following comments for your convenience: 1. There is an existing 6 inch cement asbestos (CA) water main on the west side of Balboa Ave. 2. Tucson Water will allow this project to be served by a single master water meter. But for the purposes of billing the occupants and detecting leaks, Tucson Water strongly recommends that each dwelling unit be sub-metered using private water meters. 3. Please contact Tucson Water’s New Services Section with any questions you may have about new domestic water, irrigation water, or fire water services needed to serve this proposed development. Tucson Water’s New Services Section can be reached by calling 520-791-5164 or by sending an e-mail 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.
