| Entitlements * | REVIEW COMPLETED | REZONING/SPECIAL EXCEPTION PRESUBMITTAL PREAPPLICATION REVIEW DATE: 1/7/2026 REVIEWED BY: Gabriel Sleighter, Lead Planner CASE NUMBER: TP-PRE-1025-00224 Crazy Horse RV Park – S Craycroft Rd / TP-PRE-1125-00249 PROJECT ADDRESSES: 1170 N PANTANO ROAD PARCEL NUMBERS: 13309060E EXISTING ZONING: C-1 COMMERCIAL EXISTING USE: MINOR AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE/REPAIR, CAR WASH PROPOSED ZONING: C-2 COMMERCIAL PROPOSED USE: Expansion of Automotive Service/Repair Use PROJECT DESCRIPTION & LOCATION: The applicant is requesting feedback on a proposal to rezone their property at 1170 N Pantano Road from C-1 to C-2 to support the expansion of the existing Automotive Service and Repair Use. The current use is an existing non-conforming use as determined by the Zoning Administrator on May 12, 2021. The expansion of a non-conforming use requires full code-compliance and rezoning to C-2. The project is located in the Mixed-Use Centers building block of Plan Tucson, and the Pantano East Area Plan. The proposal would remove the car wash from the facility, keeping the two existing garage bays and add an additional multi-bay garage size approximately 8,600 square feet. APPLICANT NAME: Keri Silvyn E-MAIL: ksilvyn@lslawaz.com PLAN DIRECTION ADOPTED PLAN (S): PLAN TUCSON AND EDMOND STATION AREA PLAN PLAN AMENDMENT REQUIRED BASED ON CONCEPT PRESENTED (SEE NOTES BELOW) 0 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 Mixed-Use Corridors building block of the Plan Tucson Future Growth Scenario Map. This building block features a mix of retail services, housing, and employment centers. Typical housing types include mid- and high-rise multifamily or mixed-use multifamily. Pantano East Area Plan: This Plan requires rezonings for commercial use to be based on: i. The demonstrated need for commercial zoned land in the area; ii. The site is located on an arterial street; iii. The proposed use is integrated with other adjacent commercial uses; iv. The adjacent uses are adequately buffered. Analysis: The project conforms to the Plan Tucson Future Growth Scenario Map and with the requirements for commercial rezonings within the Pantano East Area Plan. The existing land use is an allowed use in the C-2 zone, and a rezoning to C-2 would allow the expansion of that use. The project is located on an arterial street, and the location is adjacent to existing C-1 and C-2 uses located at the corner of Pantano Road and Speedway Boulevard. The project should demonstrate sensitivity to the adjacent RX-1 zone and low-density land use to the north through adequate buffering, orientation of maintenance bays, landscaping and screening. A rezoning to C-2 to allow an expansion of the Automotive Minor Service and Repair may be supported depending on design. A plan amendment is not required to proceed as proposed. ADDITIONAL NOTES: None. |

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. The PDP appears to be preserving native vegetation along the north and east project boundaries. If this is not the case, then a Native Plant Preservation Plan (NPPP) or a NPPO Waiver is required per UDC 7.7. See UDC 7.7.3. Applicability; UDC 7.7.4 NPPO General Provisions and Standards; UDC 7.7.4.c. Plan Approval Prior to Permitting; UDC 7.7.4.d. Professional Expertise 7.7.5.c.5; also see AM 2-11.3.0 Permitted Exceptions.

A landscape plan set is required. Preparation of the landscape plans shall adhere to UDC 7.6.4 and Administrative Manual 2-10. 3. ***The PDP indicates that all site landscape requirements for landscape borders and parking lot trees have been established. This site is also subject to the Commercial Rainwater Harvesting Ordinance. See Technical Standards Manual 4-01.3.0 RAINWATER HARVESTING PLAN. A Rainwater Harvesting Plan shall be submitted with all applications for commercial developments at which landscaping is required. 4. A drip irrigation plan and details are required for all proposed landscape planting areas. 5. DTM review is required for all planting and irrigation in the ROW prior to the approval of the development package. Reach out to David Marhefka (david.marhefka@tucsonaz.gov) if necessary for this project. 6. ***If it is determined that any of the above provided site landscape standard cannot be met due to the nature of the development, then a Design Development Option (DDO) will be required, see UDC 3.11.1.B.3 for landscape and screening modifications allowed. A Board of Adjustment Variance to the UDC site landscape requirements is also a viable alternative. Please reach out to Mark Castro with PDSD for more information on the DDO and Variance process.

| TW New Area Development * | REVIEW COMPLETED | Based on the information provided, Tucson Water has no objections to, or comments on the proposed development. Potentially serving this project is a 3in PVC, C zone potable water main located on the north side of the parcel. We identified an existing 2in water meter that appears to serve the building needs. Based on this setup, the existing infrastructure should be sufficient for the proposed project. If any new domestic water, irrigation water, or fire water services are needed to serve this proposed development, please contact Tucson Water’s New Services Section by calling 520-791-5164 or by sending an email to TW_Common@tucsonaz.gov. The above comments are based on the limited preliminary information provided by the applicant and should not be construed as a complete review of the proposal.
