| Entitlements | REVIEW COMPLETED | DATE: 2/28/2024 REVIEWED BY: Gabriel Sleighter, Planner CASE NUMBER: TP-PRE-1123-00385 Loop Automotive – 1st and Glenn PROJECT ADDRESSES: 2845 N 1ST AVE PARCEL NUMBERS: 107-12-3150 EXISTING ZONING: C-2 EXISTING USE: Automotive: Major Service and Repair (excluding bodywork and paint-booths) PROPOSED ZONING: C-3 PROPOSED USE: Trade Service and Repair: Major (includes automotive bodywork & paint booths) PROJECT DESCRIPTION & LOCATION: The applicant is requesting to rezone from C-2 to C-3 Commercial to allow for auto body and paint booth uses at the existing Loop Automotive repair shop. The approximately 1-acre site is approximately 400 feet north of the intersection of Glenn Street and 1st Avenue, on the west side of 1st Avenue. The applicant seeks to bring the shop’s existing paint booth into operation and add a second paint booth within the existing building footprint. The concept site plan also indicates a proposal for new covered parking, which is outside the scope of this entitlements review. APPLICANT NAME: Earl Yousey E-MAIL: earl@dbfllc.com PLAN DIRECTION ADOPTED PLAN (S): PLAN TUCSON AND HOUGHTON EAST NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN PLAN AMENDMENT REQUIRED BASED ON CONCEPT PRESENTED (SEE NOTES BELOW) 1 YES 1 NO 0 TO BE CONFIRMED LATER PLAN SUPPORT BASED ON CONCEPT PRESENTED (SEE NOTES BELOW): 0 YES 0 NO 1 WILL DEPEND ON DESIGN Applicable Plan Policies: 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 Business Centers building block of the Future Growth Scenario Map. This building block includes areas that are major commercial or employment districts which act as major drivers of Tucson’s economy. Loop Automotive is in an area near 1st Ave and Stone Ave with a preponderance of businesses centered on Automotive Service, Sales, and Repairs. Plan Tucson encourages the preservation of the distinctive physical character and identity of individual neighborhoods and commercial districts in the community. Cragin-Keeling Area Plan: The purpose of the Cragin-Keeling Area Plan is to guide future development to protect the natural amenities of the area and to enhance existing neighborhoods. The Plan’s Land Use Area Map indicated the subject parcel is designated “Mixed Uses” with a broad range of allowed commercial uses. Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses: Owners of this parcel have initiated to process to rezone the property to C-2 to allow for the operation of two automotive paint booths. Surrounding zoning is C-2 to the north, east, and south. The parcel to the west is zoned R-2 and is multi-family housing. Land uses in the commercially zoned parcels include self-storage, multiple auto or motorcycle shops, used car dealer, and a gas station. Analysis: The applicant is proposing a rezoning of the parcel to support the operation of two automotive paint booths at the existing Loop Automotive shop on 1st Avenue, 400 feet north of Glenn St. The shop is integrated into the community and neighborhood commercial fabric of the area, with a preponderance of other automotive-centric businesses such as auto repair and electronics shops and used vehicle dealerships. Adding related services to existing commercial uses in this area is consistent with Plan Tucson policy and the land use direction provided by the Cragin-Keeling Area Plan. A rezoning application requires a preliminary site plan and design compatibility report – any potential issues with existing non-compliant land uses such as the residential building or any required site improvements must be addressed with that submittal. Plan policy supports the rezoning request, but submittal acceptance will depend on adherence to zoning and technical standards in the submittal. A plan amendment is required to proceed as proposed. ADDITIONAL NOTES: None. |
