Site Engineering Comments:
1. A Drainage report to show full compliance with first flush retention/balanced basin detention requirements. Refer to the Design standards for Stormwater Detention and Retention Chapters 2, 3, & 4. Drainage report content and format requirements can be found in chapter 10 of the DSSDR as well.
2. A grading plan with cut/fill quantities and area of disturbance will be required. TSM 2-01.0.0
3. Provide updated Waste Stream Calculations for the entire site according to TSM 8-01.8.0. Provide trash enclosure detail in compliance with TSM 8-01.8.9
4. Clearly show all site downspouts and sidewalk scuppers. to ensure that stormwater from roof drains, up to and including flow from the ten-year storm event, does not pass over sidewalks per Technical Standards Manual 7-01.4.3E.
5. Pedestrian circulation is required to connect all buildings, dumpster areas, common areas, and the sidewalk on all the street frontages per TSM 7-01.3.3. The pathway along the north will not be compliant in connecting to trash enclosure to the East because of the necessity to cross a loading zone.
o It should be noted that everything on the site should be connected for pedestrian circulation which means showing connection to the existing building to the East
6. Show that the retention/detention basin is the minimum required 10 feet setback from structures. DSSDR 5.3.1.11 If they are to be proposed within that setback, a Geotech report will be required to provide recommendations on possible reduced setback requirements

FROM: Fernando L. García
PDSD Zoning Review Section

PROJECT:
3901 N ORACLE RD
TP-PRE-1125-00248
Parcel: 106-050-003A
Zoning: C-2

TRANSMITTAL DATE: DECEMBER 10, 2025

1. The proposed development must comply with the City of Tucson Unified Development Code (UDC) Administrative Manual Chapter 2-06 – Development Package. 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. General Merchandise Sales (subject to use-specific standards 4.9.9.B.1), Administrative and Professional Office (subject to use-specific standards 4.9.13.P), and Commercial Storage (subject to use-specific standards 4.9.10.A and 4.9.13.Q) are all permitted uses in the C-2 zone and I-1 zone. Please clarify square footage dedicated to each use on the development package.

3. Although a 2003 development package may have approved the construction of a 8,550 sf building at the rear of the property, approval for development on that permit only last three years per UDC Section 3.3.3.G.6.a. As such, the proposal for a new building in the rear of the property will be considered an expansion in gross floor area of 25%, and as such, require the entire site to come into compliance with current code and development standards.

4. Minimum required motor vehicle and short-term/long-term bicycle parking will be based upon the uses and their square footages. As this break-out between uses on site is not clear, please reference UDC Table 7.4.4.-1 for mot vehicle parking and Table 7.4.8-1 for bicycle parking.

Please be aware that the site will be required to comply with new electric vehicle service equipment (EVSE) requirements as indicated in UDC Section 7.4.11.B and Table 7.4.11-1.

5. Pedestrian circulation is required to connect to the existing right-of-way along N Oracle Rd as well to connect all public areas of the development. Clarify whether the new proposed building includes a showroom or is a storage area open to the public (customers).

The pedestrian circulation path along the new proposed building is bisected by the loading zone. Demonstrate unbroken connectivity between pedestrian connectivity paths. This may require redesigning the path so that it passes in front of, rather than behind, the loading zone.

No pedestrian circulation is shown between the front and rear halves of the development.

6. The comments provided are preliminary and are not to be assumed as a complete review of the proposal. During the Development Package review process, the Zoning Review Section will conduct a full review to assure compliance with applicable UDC development criteria and technical standards.

7. If you have any questions, please contact me at fernando.garcia2@tucsonaz.gov.
