APPLICANT NAME: KAEKO Electronic PHONE: (520)690-1669 E-MAIL: ELECTRONIC@KAEKOINC.COM Plan Amendment 1 YES 0 NO 0 TO BE CONFIRMED LATER PLAN SUPPORT BASED ON CONCEPT PRESENTED (SEE NOTES BELOW): 0 YES 1 NO 0 WILL DEPEND ON DESIGN 1 DESIGN COMPATIBILITY + COMMUNITY INPUT 0 ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCE REPORT PLAN DIRECTION ADOPTED PLAN(S): Plan Tucson, 12th Avenue-Valencia Road PLAN AMENDMENT NO, ADDITIONAL INFO REQUIRED (SEE NOTES BELOW) APPLICABLE PLAN POLICIES: Plan Tucson The site of the proposed special exception is covered by Plan Tucson. Plan Tucson: The Plan Tucson Future Growth Scenario Map illustrates different Building Blocks within the city that have specific policies to promote future growth opportunities. The proposed development lies within the Existing Neighborhood Building Blocks within the Future Growth Scenario Map. • LT28.1.11 Support the retention and expansion of existing business • LT28.2.4 Support community commercial and office uses located at the intersections of arterial streets, taking into consideration traffic safety and congestion issues 12th Avenue Valencia Road Area Plan The subject parcel is within the 12th Avenue -Valencia Road Area plan. Per the area plan, the subject area is mostly residential within the neighborhoods and generally commercial along major roadways and collectors. Additionally, the conceptual land use map also identifies the subject area as “Low Density Residential”. A. GENERAL LAND USE POLICIES: Policy 3. Support development on the perimeter of residential areas which serves to protect and enhance the quality of life for neighborhood residents. Policy 7. Encourage nonresidential and high-density residential uses (greater than 15 units per acre) to provide primary access to arterial streets or to collector streets within 300 feet of an arterial, and in compliance with other adopted Plan policies. (See Subarea Land Use Policies for exceptions to this policy.) Policy 8. Encourage developers to meet with neighborhood associations regarding development design. B. OFFICE AND COMMERCIAL LAND USE POLICIES Policy 4. Encourage owners of non-conforming office and commercial uses that are located on sites designated for other types of uses, to explore alternative sites that are designated for the nonconforming use. Support the rezoning of sites to bring nonconforming office and commercial uses into zoning compliance when the site is designated for the use on the Conceptual Land Use Map or within the Subarea Land Use Policies, and the proposal is in compliance with other applicable Plan policies and the Design Guidelines. Policy 9. Ensure compatibility of office and commercial uses with any residential uses by requiring appropriate design elements. Along any residential edge, appropriate design elements include, but are not limited to: screened, covered, or indoor storage; noise buffers; additional landscaping and screening; building height. Surrounding Zones and Land Uses: North: R-1; Residential Existing Uses: Religious Land Use South: R-1; Residential Existing Uses: Residential and Utility East: R-1; Residential Existing Uses: Residential and Construction Office West: C-1; Commercial Existing Uses: Personal Service (Barber) ANALYSIS: The subject sites are zoned R-1 as is much of the neighborhood south and north of Medina. The project sites are bordered to the north by a church parking area. To the west, is a commercial C-1 parcel which is mostly vacant but does have a smaller building towards the northern frontage. To the southeast there is a utility substation. Per the conceptual land use map, the 12th Avenue -Valencia Road Area plan seeks to maintain this area as residential. A rezoning from R-1(Residential) to LI (Light Industrial) is not supported by Plan Tucson or area plan policy. A rezoning from (R) R-1 to (O) Office for “Administrative and Professional Office” or C2 (Commercial) for “Construction Service” may be an alternative to pursue if desired. Zoning review team can provide applicable use specific requirements based on land use. To pursue the above-mentioned alternative rezoning to “Office” or “Commercial”, a plan amendment will also be required in addition to the rezoning application. A plan amendment is a separate land use application that amends the applicable area plan to include your proposal. Both the rezoning and plan amendment application can run concurrent to each other. For a rezoning of any of the two subject parcels, a plan amendment is required. Additionally, more design consideration with each preliminary development plan (PDP) indicating design capability with both land use specific standards and plan policies as outlined above will be required. Additionally with a rezoning, a neighborhood meeting to create community dialogue with the adjacent neighbors and ward office will be required. A formal submittal of the application must be within 60 days of the neighborhood meeting. Please reach out to the applicable Ward office before the neighborhood meeting. ADDITIONAL PLAN POLICIES TO CONSIDER: None |
