DURING THE DEVELOPMENT PACKAGE REVIEW PROCESS, A FULL REVIEW WILL BE MADE BY THE SITE LANDSCAPE/NPPO REVIEW SECTION TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE CITY OF TUCSON UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE, TECHNICAL STANDARDS MANUAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE MANUAL REQUIREMENTS FOR SITE LANDSCAPE, NATIVE PLANTS AND RAINWATER HARVESTING. SITE LANDSCAPE/NPPO COMMENTS: 1. UDC 7.6.2. APPLICABILITY The provisions of this section apply to the following: A. All new development; and, B. Expansion of existing development, as provided below: 1. Buildings Greater Than 10,000 Square Feet On sites where the gross floor area of the existing building (s) is more than 10,000 square feet, expansion in square footage of land area, floor area, lot coverage, or vehicular use area as follows: a. If the expansion is less than 25%, the standards of this section apply only to the proposed expansion. Existing development on the site is subject to the zoning standards in effect at the time the existing development received zoning approval. **IF ZONING REQUIRES ADDITIONAL PARKING TO MEET SITE REQUIREMENTS, AND THE PARKING AREA INCLUDES 4 OR MORE PARKING SPACES THEN A CANOPY TREE WILL BE REQUIRED. SEE UDC 7.6.4.B -- PARKING LOT CANOPY TREES ARE REQUIRED AT 1 TREE FOR EVERY 4 PARKING SPACES PROVIDED. STRUCTURALLY COVERED PARKING SPACES DO NOT COUNT TOWARD THE RATIO, SEE UDC 7.6.4.B.1.C.(8).

ANY PLANT MATERIAL PROVIDED TO MEET THE PARKING LOT TREE REQUIREMENT WILL ALSO REQUIRE IRRIGATION. 2. The proposed location of the facility has been cleared of vegetation for many years. NPPO is not required for this new development on this existing site. 3. **Recommended/Not required site improvements per the site landscape review section: Include a decorative masonry screen wall at the perimeter of the new facility. Possibly incorporate some native trees, shrubs and accent plantings around the exterior of the facility to match the site entry parking area and main building entrance. New plants will require a drip irrigation system for plant establishment. Thank you. Chad Keller, RLA Landscape Architect chad.keller@tucsonaz.gov 520.837.4923 |

| Site Zoning * | REVIEW COMPLETED | CDRC Thursday Pre-Submittal Transmittal PDSD Zoning Review FROM: Krista Hansen, Lead Planner PROJECT: Pre-submittal meeting TP-PRE-1125-00238 Parcel: 14122004L Address: 8755 S Rita Rd Zoning: 1-2 Existing / Proposed Use: Industrial Land Use - Perishable Goods Manufacturing TRANSMITTAL DATE: 12/4/2025 COMMENTS: 1. Any proposed development must comply with the City of Tucson Unified Development Code (UDC) Administrative Manual Chapter 2-06 – Development Package (DP). Building permits can be submitted and reviewed concurrently with the development package but the building plans cannot be approved until the development package is approved and the building plans are reviewed for consistency. 2. The site is zoned I-2. Industrial Land Use: Perishable Goods Manufacturing is a permitted use subject to UDC Use Specific Standards 4.9.5.C.1-8, 4.9.5.E.1-2 and 4.9.13.Q. The new Wastewater Pre-treatment Facility is considered an ancillary use to the canning facility. 3. The canning facility was expanded 22.54% in 2009 (D09-0001). If an expansion - or a series of expansions - cumulatively results in less than a 25% increase, the Minor Development Standards may apply. However, if the cumulative expansion reaches 25% or more, full code compliance will be required. Please note that all expansions are considered cumulatively over time when determining the 25% threshold. Additionally, any changes to the existing use of the land or structure will begin accumulating from the date the use is brought into conformance (Technical Standards Manual (TSM) Section 7-01.2.0). 4. This parcel falls within the Major Streets and Routes (MS&R) overlay zone (Rita Rd), the Airport Environmental Zone (AEZ) Noise Control Districts (NCD-A) and Approach Departure Corridor (ADC-2), and is subject to stipulations as indicated in UDC Sections 5.4 and 5.6. 5. Per UDC Table 6.3-5.A, the minimum setback for a non-residential use adjacent to a residential zone is 2(H) Height of the adjacent building wall. Ensure the minimum required setback is met along the northeast property line (adjacent to RX-1 zone). 6. A Board of Adjustment (B/A) Variance (T09SA00059) was granted in 2009 to reduce the number of motor vehicle and bicycle parking spaces and landscaping requirements for the building expansion. a. If the cumulative expansion is less than 25%, the approved variance will still apply to the existing site; however, parking and landscaping requirements will apply to the new water pre-treatment facility. For parking ratios, see UDC Tables 7.4.4-1 and 7.4.8-1. Ensure compliance with UDC 7.4.6. and 7.4.9. b. If the cumulative expansion exceeds 25%, the entire site needs to meet the parking and landscaping requirements in UDC 7.4. For a modification to these requirements, approval of a new Variance or Individual Parking Plan (IPP) is required. 7. Clarify how pedestrians will access the new wastewater pre-treatment facility from the existing wastewater treatment area. A pedestrian circulation path that connects all areas of development on-site and to any adjacent street frontage is required (TSM 7-01); however, an exception can be made if it meets the requirements in TSM 7-01.3.3.B.2, “Portions of certain Land Use Classes which by their nature will not be used for public pedestrian access, such as industrial uses, commercial storage uses, wholesale uses, contractor yards, or similar uses, are not required to have sidewalks constructed in conformance with this standard, provided adequate pedestrian refuge areas are provided.” 8. 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. |
