DEVELOPMENT SITE METHANE CONTROL PLAN The PAD area contains two closed Solid Waste Disposal Sites (SWDS). The site that affects this parcel is located on the property to the west. This PAD includes a Master Methane Control Plan (MMCP) that addresses mitigation measures associated with methane generation and migration and methane monitoring and reporting procedures. The applicant must submit a Development Site Methane Control Plan (PAD Sections III.B.4.c, III.B.4.d, III.B.4.e), indicating perimeter methane control and/or monitoring to the following agencies: City of Tucson Solid Waste Department Development Services Department Fire Department Urban Planning and Design Pima County Air Quality Control District State of Arizona Department of Health Services Once the above agencies have reviewed and approved the control plan, please provide a copy of their written approval.

The design of light fixtures and their structural support shall be architecturally compatible with the surrounding buildings (PAD Section III.A.3.d). Please include on the Lighting Plan details of the outdoor lighting fixtures and supports, demonstrating how the proposed development meets this requirement. DEVELOPMENT CRITERIA. The project is to buffer the existing neighborhoods from higher intensity uses planned for portions of the project using setback and height restrictions. The refuse area and the loading zone are considered the higher intensity uses on the site due to their noise impact on surrounding residences (PAD Section I.C.1.j). Given the close proximity to residences on the north, both the refuse area and the loading zone are to be relocated so they are 50 feet way from the apartment complex to the north. On Sheet C-1, to notes and details, please add the following note: “Landscaping, fences and walls or a combination shall be utilized to visually screen and or physically enclose outdoor storage areas, loading docks and ramps, transformers, storage tanks, and other appurtenant items of poor visual quality.” Furthermore, fence and wall heights shall generally be as tall as those objects or areas they are intended to visually screen; however, no fence or wall shall exceed six feet in height (PAD Section III.A.3.c). The loading zone is to be enclosed to meet this requirement. On Sheet C-1, to notes and details, please add the following note: “Fencing, walls and other structural barriers are to be designed of similar materials, colors and general style as the primary buildings on the site. Chain-link and wooden fences will not be permitted” (PAD Section III.A.3.c and III.B.2.b.2). Please include an additional sheet to the Development Plan, with dimensioned elevation renderings of perimeter walls, refuse area and loading zone enclosures, indicating the materials and colors used. On Sheet C-1, to notes and details, please add the following note: “Minimum required building setback from existing residential development areas: 20 feet” (PAD Section II.A, Development Area 5). On Sheet C-1, to notes and details, please add the following note: “Maximum permitted floor area ratio: 0.5”, and also please provide the floor area calculations demonstrating compliance with this requirement (PAD Section II.A, Development Area 2). On Sheet C-1, to notes and details, please add the following note: “Utility facilities shall be visually screened through undergrounding or appropriate screening” (PAD Section III.A.2.c). On Sheet C-1, to notes and details, please add the following note: “Development is to avoid long linear vistas and building edges within the development envelope and along streetscape through variation in setbacks” (PAD Section III.A.2.c). On Sheet C-1, to notes and details, please add the following note: “No fence or wall shall exceed 6 feet in height” (PAD Section III.A.3.c). On Sheet C-1, to notes and details, please add the following note: “All roof and ground-mounted equipment shall be screened (PAD Section III.A.3.c). LANDSCAPING. Please include the following notes on Sheet L.1 of the Landscape Plan, under a PAD-4 Requirements title (PAD Section II.A, Development Area 2): “Minimum landscape requirements: 10% of gross site area excluding up to 5’ width of landscape areas along public rights-of-way”. With this note, please also provide the calculations indicating how this project meets this PAD requirement “Special screening or buffering: A 5-foot wide landscape strip/five-foot high vegetative screen along northside drainageway.” On the drawing of Sheet L-1, please dimension the width of the landscape buffer along the west property line, demonstrating compliance with this requirement. OTHER COMMENTS On sheet L-1 of the landscape plan and on sheet D-2 of the Development Plan, the loading zone location does not jibe. Please reposition the loading zone so that it is 50 feet away from adjacent residential uses to the north and indicate the new location on both the landscape and the Development Plans. Per staff’s conversation with the architect, it has been determined that the primary use of the site will be for the YWCA corporate offices, with two conference rooms to be used for civic assembly. |

Section 5.3.8.2, LUC, permits a maximum of one year from the date of application to obtain approval of a development plan. If, at the end of that time, the development plan has not been approved, it must be revised to be in compliance with all regulations in effect at that time, and must be resubmitted for full CDRC review. The one-year expiration date for this development plan is April 22, 2005. 2. Place the development plan number (D04-015) on each sheet of the d.p., landscape plan and NPPO plan in the lower right hand corner near the title block. DS 2-05.2.1.K 3. Show the location of the property within the square mile of the location map. Also, label all major streets and watercourses within the area shown in the location map. DS 2-05.2.1.D 4.

Indicate location and type of all proposed freestanding signage and freestanding lighting on the development plan. DS 2-05.2.4.W 6. Include a reduced-scale map of the PAD district on the first sheet, indicating the location of the portion to be developed. DS 2-05.2.1.F 7. The parking calculation is incorrect. The proposed "civic assembly" use does not qualify for the calculated parking allowance of 1 vehicle space per 275 square feet of gross floor area. This parking reduction within PAD 4 applies to office uses only which are participating in the Ride Share Program. Revise parking calculation to be based on LUC 3.3.4 for the proposed civic assembly use. (Rio Nuevo Redevelopment Plan Document Sec. III.A.3.b) 8. On sheet 2 of 2 revise the keynote "B" arrows to point correctly to the labeled 12' x 35' loading zone. DS 2-05.2.4.O 9. Keynote "F" is used twice in the plan notes on sheet 2 of 2. Revise to list what keynote "G" represents. 10. Provide the proposed building height on the development plan and provide elevation drawings to demonstrate compliance with PAD 4, Area 2 General Development Standards.

When scaled on the drawing the sidewalk located in front of the 4 southernmost parking spaces does not meet the 4-foot minimum width requirement. Revise plan to show all sidewalks dimensioned correctly. DS 2-05.2.4.K 16. The PAAL providing access and maneuverability for the to the loading zone must be a minimum of 24 feet in width at all locations.

(gross floor area ¸ site area) is calculated as follows: 13,112 square feet GFA ¸ 92,011 square feet site area = 0.14. Also, add to the calculation the maximum F.A.R. allowed by the Rio Nuevo PAD Area 2, which is 0.5. Document - PAD 4 Development Area 2 Development Standard c 22.
