PROJECT DESCRIPTION & LOCATION:
The applicant is requesting a rezoning for a 0.76-acre area at 23 N Linda Ave. There is currently a single-family residential style building on the site, which is being used as an office by the Pima County Community Land Trust.

Applicable Plan Policies:
This project is located within the Plan Tucson Mixed-Use Centers building block. These areas provide a variety of housing, retail, services, and office uses within proximity to each other with local access to goods and transit.

The Santa Cruz Area Plan also guides development at the project location. This Plan encourages the stabilization of older neighborhoods through new development designed and scaled for compatibility with existing development. It encourages integral design to existing neighborhoods, and the construction of street and pedestrian improvements to increase overall accessibility.

The proposal locates the existing Pima Community Land Trust office with additional office space, a community building and multi-family residential or office space. The entire development is adjacent to the existing Pima County Housing Center, and near an El Rio Health Campus. Congress Street is 150 feet south of the project, with access to bus transportation, and the westernmost stop on the Sun Link Streetcar line.

The project proposal is for building heights compatible with the surrounding residential neighborhoods. The expansion of the existing office and addition of a community space, sidewalk improvements where feasible, and potential residential units in a density compatible with the existing R-2 zoning are all in conformance with the design and policy goals of the Santa Cruz Area Plan.

Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses:

North: R-2, Single-Family Residential

East: R-2, Single-Family Residential

South: C-3, Office Use

West: R-2, Medical Office Use (Existing non-conforming, assessor’s year built 1982)

Analysis:

There is an existing office use in the single-family style structure on the site. This is existing non-conforming, and so the other office spaces proposed require a rezoning to the appropriate office zoning. The neighborhood meeting materials and entitlements application should specifically justify the O-3 zoning vs a lower-intensity zone. Anticipate conditions limiting the allowed height in the rezoning area to the maximum height requested.

Information on the number of units, parking calculations (Based on square footage/units/bedrooms), and the amount of parking reduction requested through an IPP will be required in your entitlements application.

The proposal is aligned with Plan Tucson policies, and is an appropriate mix of services for the Mixed-Use Centers building block. It is further supported by the availability of bus and streetcar transportation. A plan amendment will not be required for this rezoning as presented.
