PROJECT: RIO NUEVO AREA (RNA) REVIEW (MINOR DEVELOPMENT PACKAGE)
ACTIVITY NO: TP-PRE-0824-00200
ADDRESS: 177 N CHURCH AV
ZONING: OCR-2 COMMERCIAL ZONE

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 ensure compliance with the applicable UDC development criteria and Technical Standards.

SITE LANDSCAPE/NPPO REVIEW COMMENTS

GENERAL RIO NUEVO AREA (RNA) COMMENTS:

1. Per UDC section 5.12.7.D.3 Rio Nuevo Area Design Guidelines – Site Design Standards -- 5% of gross floor area of new construction shall be provided for open space, plaza, courtyards, etc. This requirement can be waived by the PDSD Director.

2. Per UDC section 5.12.7.D.4 Rio Nuevo Area Design Guidelines – Site Design Standards- 50% shade coverage of all sidewalks and pedestrian pathways is required. After reviewing the shade study prepared by EXA Architects, it appears that most of the shade is provided by the building and attached shade canopies, which is allowed for the calculations. Native shade trees might be a nice addition to the 3 planter islands located on the south and the east sides of the project to enhance the shade calculation numbers.

GREATER INFILL INCENTIVE SUBDISTRICT (GIID) COMMENTS:
IF UTILIZING THE GIID PLEASE REFER TO THE BELOW LISTED SECTION.

Section 7.6, Landscaping and Screening

a. Section 7.7, Native Plant Preservation may not be modified.
b. Except as required by Section 5.12.8.B, Development Transition Standards, a complete or partial exception to Section 7.6, Landscaping and Screening Standards, may be granted if shade is provided for pedestrians and customers, such as along sidewalks, pedestrian circulation paths, and outdoor patios, in accordance with Section 5.12.6.A.2. The landscaping requirement may also be waived by the PDSD Director based on a written finding that the waiver is necessary to preserve the prevailing setback.
c. Any one or more of the following types of landscaping and improvements may be used to comply with this section:
(1) Existing landscaping;
(2) Shade trees in the right-of-way;
(3) Green walls or green roofs; and/or
(4) Shade structures, such as awnings.

Pedestrian Access

Alternative pedestrian access that creates connectivity between public entrances to the project and abutting sidewalks may be allowed if no safety hazard is created. All pedestrian access shall conform to the accessibility standards of the City's adopted Building Code.

TW New Area Development REVIEW COMPLETED TP-PRE-0824-00200 - Pre-Application Conference Review v1 – 177 N CHURCH AV

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

1. Tucson Water’s records indicate that there is an existing 6in Cast Iron Stub-Out beneath the proposed worksite. These records also show that the main is only 3.4ft below pavement (assuming the same for the stub-out). It is strongly recommended that great care is taken when disturbing the earth surrounding the stub-out given the age of the cast iron.
2. 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. Any questions, comments or concerns about these comments may be directed to:
