Signs REVIEW COMPLETED RE: signage information
For: Bass Pro Shop / 1590 E Tucson Marketplace Bl
Presubmittal: TP-PRE-1023-00363
Reviewer: H. Thrall (Heather.Thrall@tucsonaz.gov)
Date: 11/1/23

Code: Unified Development Code (UDC) 7A, Sign Standards
1. UDC 7A. this site is zoned “PAD-15” and is within 250’ of Interstate-10. As such, the allowed sign area is a ratio of 4 square feet for each linear foot of street (I-10) frontage. A maximum of 40% of sign area is allowed for display on each building elevation. (7A.11.4. Planned Area Development District, refers to the underlying zoning the PAD is modeled after; refer to charts in 7A.10.2. A and B Table 2, and 7A.10.2.C.3.d.2.ii.)

2. UDC 7A.10.2.C further clarifies sign types allowed (i.e. wall signs, canopy signs, access point signs, etc.)

3. UDC 11.A. further defines a “wall” as a surface 30% and less from vertical. Please review the location of signs and construction of the building facades for planned sign placement. In addition, please examine 7A.10.2.C.3.d.4.i. and 7A.8.2.F. for criteria to work within for respect to the proposed signage and building aspects.

4. The sign package will need review through the PAD-15 Bridges Design Review Committee for compatibility with their design criteria. The DRC will issue a written finding for the signage presentation that should be included within the sign package.

5. A sign contractor licensed within the State of Arizona is required to apply for, obtain and install the signage at the location.

6. Note that all illuminated signs will need to comply with the Tucson-Pima County Outdoor Lighting Coe (OLC), which requires signs to turn off at midnight, and limits brightness for internally illuminated signs to a maximum color temperature of 4400k (which may be in the process of being updated with a code amendment).

Should you have any questions, or wish to discuss the project further, please email me at Heather.Thrall@tucsonaz.gov and I’ll set an appointment time for further discussion.

Site Zoning REVIEW COMPLETED CDRC Thursday Pre-Submittal Transmittal
PDSD Zoning Review

FROM: Wyatt Berger, Lead Planner

PROJECT: Thursday Pre-application Conference – TP-PRE-1023-00363
Address: n/a
Parcel(s): 132-13-1290
Zoning: PAD-15 “The Bridges” Planned Area Development
Existing Use: Undeveloped
Proposed Use: Large Retail Establishment

TRANSMITTAL DATE: October 30, 2023

COMMENTS:
1. Development must comply with Administrative Manual Section 2-06.0.0: Development Package (Tentative Plats and Site Plans). Building permits may be applied for concurrently with the development package; however, the development package must be approved prior to zoning approval of any associated building permits.

2. The site is in Sub-Area A of PAD-15. Per page 47 of the PAD document, Large Retail Establishment is a permitted use in Sub-Area A, subject to the standards set forth within Section C.2.2.C.2 of the PAD document. A Zoning Examiner Special Exception Procedure is not required for this project.

3. Development standards such as, but not limited to, setbacks, building height, and lot coverage appear to be met with this proposal.

4. The proposed outdoor showroom should be included within the motor vehicle parking calculation. Keep in mind that parking stall counts shall be done across Sub-Area A as a whole, not necessarily on a parcel-by-parcel basis within the sub-area, subject to a recorded cross-parking agreement for the overall shopping center. An updated parking tracking table is also required.

5. Per UDC 7.4.8-1, including the proposed outdoor showroom area, eighteen short-term and ten long-term bicycle parking spaces are required for Retail Trade uses with more than 100,000 square feet gross floor area. Page 52 of the PAD document further states that bicycle parking spaces shall be increased by 10% above the [UDC] requirements in Sub-Area A.

6. Prior to approval of the development package, the developer must procure a letter of recommendation from the Bridges Design Review Committee (page 54).

7. Ensure all easements depicted on S21-008 are shown on the development package drawings: https://maps-and-records.tucsonaz.gov/subdivisions/details/MP-&20211930164.

8. Ensure compliance with Technical Standards Manual Section 7-01.4.3. All sidewalks must be a minimum of four feet wide and installed to avoid any obstruction which decreases the minimum width to less than four feet.

9. Ensure access standards found in Section 7.8 of the UDC and Sections 7-01.0.0 and 10-01.0.0 of the Technical Standards Manual are met.

10. 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 Zoning to assure compliance with the applicable UDC development criteria and Technical Standards.

If you have any questions, please contact me at Wyatt.Berger@tucsonaz.gov or at 520-837-4951.

TW New Area Development REVIEW COMPLETED TP-PRE-1023-00363 - Pre-Application Conference Review v1 – 1590 E TUCSON MARKETPLACE BL

There may be a relatively minor public water easement issue that you’ll need to address: At this time, there is some question as to whether the public water easements needed over the public water mains constructed under Plan Number (PN) 2-060-2020 were granted prior to, or at the time of construction, and a very small portion of these water mains lie on this property.
The small portion of the water mains (and the necessary public water easement) located on this property are best seen on Sheets 2and 3 of PN 2-060-2020 at and around STA 14+25, where a modified drain valve assembly (D.V.A.) was installed on this parcel. A small trapezoidal shaped water easement was to be created over this modified drain valve assembly, with sides approximately 15.1’, 15.0’, 12.26’ and 9.3’ long.
Research is currently being conducted to determine if the water easements needed for PN 2-060-2020 have been granted, or not. If not, the owner of this property will need to grant this small water easement to the City of Tucson.
A copy of PN 2-060-2020 may be obtained by sending an e-mail request to TWMapInfo@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:
