Design Review * NOT REQUIRED This is a request for a courtesy review by the PRS. Just note that a formal submittal of plans for review that any improvements visible from the ROW will need to go through RNA review, with feedback from the PRS and DRB. If you have any questions, please let me know: maria.gayosso@tucsonaz.gov. Thank you.
Historic * REVIEW COMPLETED The Tucson Pima County Historical Commission, Plans Review Subcommittee (PRS) held a courtesy review of the project at its January 8, 2026 meeting. Commissioner comments include:
• Support the idea of replacing the existing oleander along Broadway with a different plant species that will be conducive to growing north of the building due to shade
• Support the idea to differentiate new guardrails
• Support the idea to carry design language of paving, including the scoring pattern, to new areas
• Support the idea of doing something simple and deferential for the proposed pedestrian bridge that would connect the hotel area to the Tucson Community Center, and recommend looking to existing pedestrian buildings in the TCC as precedent; pedestrian bridges are unique to this part of downtown so they need careful consideration in their design language
• For submittal, a map showing the parcels boundaries and the boundaries of the National Register Historic District would be helpful.

Next steps: Submit permit application. Historic review will be required due to project location within the Rio Nuevo Area (RNA) and its proximity to the Tucson Community Center Historic Landscape District (a National Register historic district). Upon submittal of your permit application, you'll be directed to create a Special Districts Sub-record in TDC Online, as Historic Review requires a supplemental application called a Design Package. Please see the Historic & Special Districts Application Instructions for more information about submittal requirements: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/pdsd/documents/special_districts_application_instructions_3.3.2025.pdf. As part of your Design Package, please include the following: project narrative, site plan, roof plan (if there are any changes proposed including location of mechanical equipment), elevations, window and door schedule, photographs of existing conditions, Development Zone map as described in instructions along with precedent photographs, and product names/specifications/brochures.
