| Review Date | Reviewer's Name | Type of Review | Description | Status | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Entitlements * | REVIEW COMPLETED | Development must conform to the Preliminary Development Plan for rezoning case TP-ENT-0823-00035. The submitted plans show a substantial alteration to the approved Preliminary Development Plan. There are changes to building layout, vehicular access, solid waste facilities and parking. It also appears the shipping container enclosure is being proposed as an outdoor event space, which would not be allowed in proximity to residential land uses per the rezoning. Development plan should demonstrate conformance to conditions of rezoning, including flush curbs and basins in the parking and landscaping areas to demonstrate the application of passive rainwater harvesting to the greatest extent possible (Rezoning Condition 11, 12), including the proposed landscaped area east of the office area (Keynote 4). |

| ROW Engineering Review * | REVIEW COMPLETED | DTM Review Comments Sidewalk Installation All proposed sidewalk installations must conform to PAG 200 standards for local and arterial roadway dimensions and must not exceed a 2% slope. (See attached PDF.) Proposed Gate Placement – Ft. Lowell Rd (Southwest Corner) Review the proposed gate placement at the southwest corner of the project along Ft. Lowell Rd. The gate must be set back sufficiently from the back of curb to allow a vehicle to stop completely outside the roadway. Additionally, the design should accommodate space for a vehicle to turn around in case of an emergency or gate malfunction, without requiring the vehicle to back into arterial traffic. Unused Driveways and Curb Cuts All unused driveways and curb cuts must be removed and the area fully built out to match the adjacent sidewalk and curb conditions. Sidewalk – Navajo Rd (North Side of Property) Sidewalk must be extended to the end of the property line along Navajo Rd. All associated driveway access points must be constructed to meet PAG 206 standards. (See attached PDF.) Driveways All proposed driveways are to be constructed with full concrete build-out and must comply with PAG 206 standards. Fencing/Wall – Ft. Lowell Rd and Navajo Rd Plans indicate a proposed fence/wall along Ft. Lowell Rd and Navajo Rd. Ensure that sight visibility requirements are met at the southeast corner of the property (intersection of Ft. Lowell and Navajo). Clearly note compliance with sight visibility standards and specify fencing mater Thank you, Zane Swenson Engineering Associate Dept. of Transportation and Mobility | Engineering Division | Zane.Swenson@Tucsonaz.gov |

REZONING COMMENTS PER PREVIOUS SITE LANDSCAPE REVIEWER FOR REFERENCE: ACTIVITY NO: TP-ENT-0823-00035 ADDRESS/PARCEL NO: 1145 E FORT LOWELL RD/113-04-3470 ZONING: O-3, R-2 REZONING: C-2 EXISTING USE: GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH PROPOSED USE: CORPORATE HQ TRANSMITTAL DATE: AUGUST 25TH, 2023 DUE DATE: SEPTEMBER 7TH, 2023 COMMENTS: 1. Due to the nature of the existing site, all NPPO conditions will be waived. 2. Setback reductions on the northwest portion of the site adjacent to APN 113-04-345A cannot be granted due to the lack of available space to meet any of the other landscape border areas. 3. This project will be required to have a separate water meter for irrigation. 4. 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. 5. As commercial rainwater harvesting will be next to impossible to achieve based on the existing conditions of the site, the applicant will have to use flush curbs and parking blocks in the parking areas to achieve the highest percentage of rainwater harvesting possible on the existing site. SITE LANDSCAPE/NPPO COMMENTS: 1. A landscape plan is required. 2. 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. 3. A drip irrigation plan and details are required for all proposed landscape planting areas. 4. DTM review 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. 5. 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. Thank you.
