Anderson 791-4505 DATE: 03/02/05 DEPARTMENT OF URBAN PLANNING AND DESIGN COMMENTS LA ESTANCIA RETAIL CENTER - D04-0034: 2ND SUBMITTAL The La Estancia Planned Area Development (PAD) establishes comprehensive guidance and regulations for the development of homes and associated support services on approximately 565 acres along the north side of Interstate 10 between Kolb Road and Wilmot Road. The PAD implements the City of Tucson General Plan by specifying policies and site development standards, which replace the current zoning on the property. The subject property is located in the La Estancia PAD and Rincon/Southeast Subregional Plan. The La Estancia PAD, Rincon/Southeast Subregional Plan, General Plan, and Design Guidelines Manual all provide guidance for the review of this development. The PAD is a regulatory guide for the future development of a sustainable, balanced community of residential, office, commercial, industrial and recreational uses that promote an aesthetically pleasing living environment by ensuring high standards of development quality. Objectives of the PAD are to diminish the dominance of the automobile, provide visual and pedestrian linkages, and provide for pedestrian and bikeway networks throughout the project. The second submittal does not address the above objectives. The development has no vehicular access from Kolb Road. However, the development is orientated in a way that resembles a development that fronts on Kolb Road. It seems that it would be appropriate and would better conform to the policies in the plans and PAD to locate the front of the commercial development and pedestrian friendly storefront entrances facing Via Rio Pico. It has been recommended that Kolb Road be a future full access control roadway with a 300 feet wide right-of-way with over 60,000 vehicles per day. There will be a traffic light located at the primary entrance into La Estancia, south of the Julian Wash. A traffic light is not possible at the Via Rio Pico/Kolb Road intersection. The proposed 200,000+ square feet commercial development and the future industrial uses along Via Rio Pico will create a substantial amount of traffic at the Via Rio Pico/Kolb Road intersection. The Via Rio Pico cross-section in the PAD was not designed with such an intensive use in mind at this location. To offset the intensity of this site, Via Rio Pico should be constructed with the minor collector cross section along the future development. Another way to offset the intensity of this site is to locate a collector road to the south of this site that crosses the Julian Wash and leads to the minor collector street on the opposite side of the Julian Wash. 1. Show the correct path of the future Julian Wash on the Location Map. 2. Show and label the boundaries of the appropriate Approach Departure Corridor (ADC-2) for Davis Monthan Air Force Base on the development plan. Note in the General Notes that the property is located in the Approach Departure Corridor (ADC-2) and note the performance criteria and prohibited uses within the applicable corridor under General Notes. (ordinance no. 10073) 3. Note in the General Notes that the property is located in the 65 Noise Control District (NCD) for Davis Monthan Air Force Base. Note performance criteria and prohibited uses within the applicable district. (ordinance no. 10073) 4. The minor refinement letter dated June 29, 2004 states that collector streets are to be designed in conjunction with each of the subdivision plats. At the time that each subdivision plat is submitted, collector street design will demonstrate phased interconnectivity between subdivisions. The original circulation plan map shows a street on the north side of the subject property that connects Kolb Road to Via Rio Pico. Demonstrate how there will be vehicular and pedestrian interconnectivity (cross-access) between the proposed development and blocks 34 and 35. (minor refinement letter and plans) 5. The minor refinement letter dated June 29, 2004 states that collector streets are to be designed in conjunction with each of the subdivision plats. At the time that each subdivision plat is submitted, collector street design will demonstrate phased interconnectivity between subdivisions. The intensity of the proposed use creates a situation where there needs to be safe and functional pedestrian and vehicular connectivity to the portion of the PAD south of the Julian Wash and to Kolb Road. Locate a minor collector road to the south of this site that crosses the Julian Wash and leads to minor collector road on the opposite side of the Julian Wash. (minor refinement letter and II.B.c) 6. The development has no vehicular access from Kolb Road. However, the development is orientated in a way that resembles a development that fronts on Kolb Road. It would be more appropriate and would better conform to the policies in the plans and PAD to locate the front of the commercial development and pedestrian friendly storefront entrances facing Via Rio Pico. Please reconfigure the development and locate the front of the commercial development along Via Rio Pico. (plans and PAD) 7. A landscape improvement district for the upgrade and enhancement of Kolb Road from Valencia Road to Interstate 10 needs to be created. The entity to administer this district will be agreed upon by the City, County and private owners prior to any capital improvements being performed on Kolb Road. Please create the landscape improvement district. (I.C. Development Partnership) 8. The intersection of Via Rio Pico and Kolb Road is a Secondary Entry Statement. Secondary Entry Statements need to be similar to Project Entry Statements, but smaller in scale. Show a cross-section of Via Rio Pico at the intersection of Kolb Road. (II.D.2 Secondary Entry Statements) - The intersection of Via Rio Pico and Kolb Road must have a left turn lane. - There needs to be a landscaped median on Via Rio Pico at the intersection of Kolb Road. - All trees at this intersection must be 24" box size and selected from the City of Tucson approved drought-tolerant list. - The crosswalk at this location shall have enhanced paving/crosswalk. - Both sides of this intersection need to be developed as the Secondary Entry Statement. Show the landscape and design along the Julian Wash. 9. There shall be a series of berms in the Julian Wash linear park along Via Rio Pico. The vegetation in the Julian Wash linear park shall be designed with native trees, shrubs, and groundcover reflective of the Sonoran Desert. A master design needs to be approved by the appropriate public agencies and at minimum the northern portion of the linear park needs to be shown on the development plan. (II.A. Land Use Plan, II.C. Open Space and Recreation Plan, Exhibit II.C.2, & II.D.6) 10. Building facades at the rear, side and the roof are to be designed with attention to architectural character and detail comparable to the front façade, with consistent design treatment and the use of Sonoran Desert shades of colors (greens, blues, yellows, oranges, reds, purples, etc.). In addition, the construction of Building 1 and Building 2 should be constructed so that there are differentiating rooflines and canopies. Building 1 and Building 2 should be constructed so that the storefronts are distinguishable. Please submit dimensioned elevation drawings of the buildings that demonstrate five-sided architecture, the use of Sonoran Desert colors, and distinguishable storefronts. (plans and PAD I.A.) 11. Demonstrate state of the art building techniques and design being used to conserve energy, water and non-renewable resources. (I.2 Project Objectives) 12. Provide for spine infrastructure to create a state of the art wired community and enable homes and businesses to take advantage of any new, enhanced communication opportunities. If this has been provided, please state on the development plan what infrastructure has been provided. (I.2. Project Objectives) 13. The PAD was created to allow for the reduction on the dependence of automobiles. This creates a scenario in which pedestrians and bicyclists have safe and functional connectivity to all uses. Connect the pedestrian circulation system along Via Rio Pico and Kolb Road to the internal pedestrian circulation system of the proposed retail center. (plans and PAD). Please provide pedestrian connectivity from the sidewalk along Kolb Road, the northern entrance along Via Rio Pico, and an additional midpoint between the to ingress/egress points off of Via Rio Pico. The connectivity along Kolb needs to be developed to create an actual and perceived safe route from the residential and commercial areas of the PAD south of the Julian Wash. 14. Policy supports development that limits the visual impact of parking areas along the street front. Please reduce the visual impact of the seven row parking area along Kolb. A solution would be to move Building 3 to the south and Building 4 to the north. In addition to building relocation, additional mitigation could include additional landscape islands in the parking area and berming along Kolb Road and Via Rio Pico. (plans and PAD) 15. Show safe and functional pedestrian circulation systems within the retail center. (plans and PAD) The pedestrian crosswalk that leads to Via Rio Pico on the southern portion of the property needs to connect to a sidewalk. There needs to be additional pedestrian circulation in the development that will allow safe and functional passage to and from the different buildings. The pedestrian crosswalks cannot lead to a landscape island, which requires a pedestrian to walk through the island. The pedestrian crosswalks also cannot lead to a curb. Please provide the required ramp to allow for handicapped accessibility. The commercial development needs to first and foremost cater to pedestrians and bicyclists. Examples include: - Provide a wide, shaded, designated pedestrian and bicycle access area from Via Rio Pico, where the new collector intersects with Via Rio Pico and the corner of Via Rio Pico and Kolb. The access should have limited, preferably no, contact with vehicular activity. - Pedestrian sidewalks that stub to a landscape island, stop, and continue from a landscape island on the opposite side of a parking isle should continue through, and be a portion of the parking isle. This area would serve as a shaded pedestrian access lane, which provides shade for pedestrians and parked vehicles. - Awnings, arcades, or canopies at customer entrances. - Pedestrian ways distinguished from vehicular areas by material such as brick, concrete pavers, scored or patterned colored concrete. - Pedestrian siting areas within sight of, and easily visible from areas of greatest activity, including along principal entryways and in pedestrian plazas. 16. A signage theme needs to be prepared and approved by the La Estancia Design Review Committee. Please show documentation that the La Estancia Design Review Committee has prepared and approved a signage theme. (III.A.11. Signage) 17. Each development within the noise mitigation overlay must demonstrate that noise impacts are mitigated. Within the noise mitigation overlay zone, office, residential, and educational facilities must be provided with insulation or otherwise designed to reduce the interior noise level to Ldn 45 or less or as required by building codes. Submit a site plan and other supporting materials demonstrating these mitigation measures to the Design Review Committee. Mitigation must also be demonstrated as part of the development plan approval. (III.A.10) 18. All proposed development plans and subdivision plats within the PAD area shall be submitted to the La Estancia Design Review Committee prior to the review by the City of Tucson. Please show documentation that the La Estancia Design Review Committee has reviewed this development plan. (IV.B.) There was no letter in the submitted materials. 19. All walls, including all dumpster screen walls, are to incorporate one or more visually appealing design treatment, such as; the use of two or more decorative materials like stucco, tile, stone, or brick; or a visually interesting design on the wall surface. Please show a color detail that demonstrates compliance. Please use similar colors as those proposed for the buildings. (plans and PAD) 20. Continue the sidewalk along Kolb Road for the entire length of the property. Locate shade trees along the sidewalk, spaced no more than 25 feet on center. (plans and PAD) 21. Policy supports shaded seating areas in large commercial complexes. Please construct a landscaped and shaded pedestrian seating area in the development. Make sure the shaded seating area is located outside the ADC-2. (plans and PAD) |
