| Entitlements | REVIEW COMPLETED | CASE NUMBER: TP-PRE-1122-00036 PROJECT ADDRESSES: 5570 E TRAVEL PLAZA WY PARCEL NUMBERS: 14037068J EXISTING ZONING: C-2 PROPOSED ZONING: C-3 WARD: 5 PROJECT’S NAME: Tucson Southern Tire Mart at Pilot PROPOSED USE: Addition of Trade Service and Repair, Major, as a secondary land use to existing General Merchandise Sales land use. PROJECT DESCRIPTION & LOCATION: The applicant is proposing the construction of a new 8,500 square-foot building for the maintenance and repair of large trucks on the eastern side of an existing 7.7-acre parcel currently occupied by the Pilot Travel Center. This represents the addition of a new land use, Trade Service and Repair, Major, to the existing General Merchandise Sales land use on site. The new building will be located on existing large truck parking spaces and includes the provision of 3 automobile parking spaces. The new building’s height has not been provided by the applicant, who is requesting C-3 zoning to allow the proposed secondary land use. The property is located at the southeast corner of Craycroft Road and the Interstate 10 frontage road, and is located within the boundaries of Plan Tucson (the City of Tucson 2013 General & Sustainability Plan), and the Rincon/Southeast Subregional Plan. Preliminary Determination of Plan Amendment: NO Plan Support Based on Concept Presented (see following pages): WILL DEPEND ON DESIGN Additional Materials to be Included in Rezoning Application Packet: DESIGN COMPATIBILITY REPORT + COMMUNITY INPUT Adopted Plan Direction: Plan Tucson (PT) and Rincon/Southeast Subregional Plan PLAN AMENDMENT NOT REQUIRED BASED ON CONCEPT PRESENTED (SEE NOTES BELOW) Applicable Plan Policies: Plan Tucson: Plan policy is provided by Plan Tucson, which contains a variety of elements that are broken down into four focus areas - the Social Environment, the Economic Environment, the Natural Environment, and the Built Environment. Each focus area contains specific goals, while each element contains specific policies. The project site is located in an area identified on Plan Tucson’s Future Growth Scenario Map as “Potential Annexation Areas” Building Block. The site is also located within the I-10 Technology Corridor in the vicinity of the Port of Tucson site on Wilmot Road, and several business centers. Plan Tucson policy supports development capitalizing on “Tucson’s strategic location by maintaining and enhancing Tucson as an international port and center for commerce and logistics” (Sec 3.68, Policy RG2). Commercial facilities enhancing maintenance and safety of trucking and logistics vehicles supports this need. Plan Tucson includes the following policy for Development Review that Apply to the Potential Annexation Areas Building Block: LT28.1.11 Support the retention and expansion of existing business The proposal is in general compliance with Plan Tucson and does not require a plan amendment. Rincon/Southeast Subregional Plan: The proposed development is located within the Rincon/Southeast Subregional Plan, which provide the following policy direction: I.A.2.a Applicants for rezonings within this subregion shall submit an Environmental Resource Report prepared in accordance with City of Tucson Development Standard 1-07.0. I.A.2.b The development plan shall be based on the site analysis and implement plan policies through sensitive design and mitigation techniques that respond to site features and to the character of the surrounding neighborhood. I.B.9 As appropriate to the development proposal and site characteristics, archeological procedures specified in this section. may be required. I.C.2.b Safe and accessible pedestrian circulation within the development shall be provided. Flexible design solutions to pedestrian circulation must meet the intent of the City of Tucson Development Standard 2.08.0, Pedestrian Access, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses: The property is surrounded by C-2 commercial zoning. Rezoning this parcel to C-3 would not place a high-intensity commercial use directly against the R-1 and I-1 zoning more distant from the site. Surrounding land uses include a large commercial truck dealership to the southeast; the TTT Truck Stop is located west, across from Craycroft Road; there is a vacant parcel to the northeast; and Interstate 10 runs along the southern side of the parcel. Analysis: The proposed Trade Service and Repair, Major as a secondary land use at this location complement the trucking and logistic vehicles in the area, with immediate access from and to I-10. The proposal is aligned with policy direction from Plan Tucson and the Rincon/Southeast Subregional Plan specified above. The nearest residential land use is the Littletown neighborhood 500 feet north of the proposed development. The increased development intensity allowed would have limited adverse effects to nearby properties due to the existing comparatively high intensity commercial and transportation activity in the development area. Based on provided review materials, the doors to the service bays at the site would be oriented southeast and northwest, parallel to I-0 and not facing any nearby residential land use. Applicant will be required to provide a Design Compatibility Report and documentation of public outreach, including a summary of results of outreach efforts. Other materials may be required as deemed necessary. The rezoning request will require approval from the Mayor and Council following a public hearing before the Zoning Examiner. Based on policy direction listed above from both Plan Tucson and the Rincon/Southeast Subregional Plan, no plan amendment is required. |

| Site Landscape | REVIEW COMPLETED | TO: Planning and Development Services Department, Rezoning Section FROM: Matthew Carlton PDSD Landscape/Native Plant Preservation Section PROJECT: TIRE MART ACTIVITY NO. TP-PRE-1122-00036 ADDRESS/PARCEL: 5570 E TRAVEL PLAZA WY/140-37-068J CURRENT ZONING: C-2 PROPOSED ZONING: C-3 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. COMMENTS: 1. Since this is a building expansion on the site under 10,000 SQ FT of floor areas (8500 SQ FT) rather than a full re-development, the only affected areas will be those under in the new expansion area. 2. Any and all required landscape plans associated with this expansion 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. 3. Any and all required Landscape Plans should match the Commercial Rainwater Harvesting Plans as well as the Grading Plans. 4. A Commercial Rainwater Harvesting plan may be required per UDC Technical Standards Manual – Section 4-01.3.0. and Section 5-01.0.0 Landscaping and Screening. Adherence to the Low Impact Development Standards outlined in Section 5 of the PCRFCD Design Standards for Stormwater Detention and Retention is required and shall work in conjunction with the Commercial Rainwater Harvesting design. Using Low Impact Development design and water harvesting provides critical basin detention and first flush retention for all new development and impervious area. The newly adopted Detention/Retention Manual can be found: https://webcms.pima.gov/UserFiles/Servers/Server_6/File/Government/Flood%20Control/Rules%20and%20Procedures/Stormwater%20Detention-Retention/dssdr-final-201406-manual.pdf With CoT edits to the manual are found at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/pdsd/codes/Detention_Retention_Manual_Tech_Standards_Amemdments.pdf If you have any questions about these comments, I can be reached at Matthew.Carlton@tucsonaz.gov or 520-837-4988 |
