| 06/22/2005 | JOE LINVILLE | LANDSCAPE | REVIEW | Denied | 1) The retention/detention basin on the west side of the property is required to be revised. The eastern slope of the basin does not conform to DS 10-0-1.4, p.78. The slope shall be no steeper than 2:1 per the standard. The slope requirements also apply the basin along Balboa Avenue. Additional trees should be provided for the southern portion of the basin, if possible. LUC 3.7.4.3.A 2) Revise the plans as necessary to show how grading, hydrology, and landscape structural plans are integrated to make maximum use of site storm water runoff for supplemental on-site irrigation purposes. Provide additional information to show how stormwater is routed to landscape areas. The landscape plan shall indicate use of all runoff, from individual catch basins around single trees to basins accepting flow from an entire vehicular use area or roof area. 3) Remove any unused keynotes on sheet 3 of the development plan (13 & 20). DS 2-05.2.1.J 4) Revise the plans to curbing to protect landscape areas in the southern portion of the site. LUC 3.7.2.3.B 5) Revise the landscape and development plans to clearly show that the portion of the landscape border on the west side of the Glenn Street entrance meets the 10' minimum width requirement. LUC 3.7.2.4.A.1 6) Revise the parking design to include wheel stops or some other barrier to prevent parked vehicles from overhanging the street landscape borders. DS 2-06.3.3.E 7) Provide details for tree planters located within vehicle use areas. Planters are required to conform to DS 2-06.3.3.C. See DS 2-06. Figure 5 and DS 3-05. Figure 3 for acceptable designs. DS 2-07.2.2.D 8) Show the parking lot in the southeast corner of the site on the landscape plan. This area is required to comply with all applicable code requirements. LUC 3.7.1.2.B 9) A 6' high masonry wall is required in order to screen the loading areas from Balboa Avenue. Revise the landscape and development plans to include and identify the required walls. LUC Table 3.7.2-I However, Case # C9-02-10 requires that the loading areas be located on the west side of the site. Revise as necessary. 10) Provide written verification of any approvals received to locate a portion of the code required landscape border and irrigation in the public right-of-way area. Plans may not be approved unless permission is obtained. LUC 3.7.2.4.A.3 11) Revise the landscape plans to specify that the area between the right-of-way line and sidewalk and the area between the sidewalk and the curb, if not covered with vegetation, shall be covered with an appropriate inorganic ground cover, such as decomposed granite. LUC 3.7.2.4.A.4 12) Revise the plans to show any sidewalks/pedestrian facilities in the southern portion of the site. DS 2-07.2.1.A 13) Revise the plans to locate screening plants in accordance with DS 2-06.3.7.B.5.b. Hedges and other vegetative screens shall not extend more than three (3) feet into the street landscape border. If, based on the growing characteristics of the type of plant used, the ultimate width of the vegetative screen will be greater than three (3) feet, the vegetative screen must be sufficiently set back from the landscape border to accommodate the wider growth. 14) Revise the native plant preservation plan as necessary to improve clarity. A few of the plants could not be located. We suggest an enlarged photo or a lightened photo. |

The new development plan may not be in compliance with condition #1 and may require a change of condition. New development plans are not in compliance with rezoning condition #6, which reads: “The loading zone and dumpster shall be located on the west side of the site.” New development plans show three (3) loading zones on the east side of the property, adjacent to residential properties. In order to comply with condition #6, please resubmit development plans showing loading zones away from adjacent residential properties to the east, and adjacent to the commercially zoned property to the west. NOTE: A site inspection by staff revealed that the new Habitat for Humanity townhomes along Balboa Avenue are in the final phases of completion, with residents already moving in. Any request to change rezoning conditions affects compatibility of the proposed use with the surrounding existing uses, including residential development, and it will require consideration by the Mayor and Council. |

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 a full CDRC review. The one-year expiration date for this development plan is May 31, 2006. 2. This project was reviewed in accordance with applicable divisions of the Land Use Code (LUC), Development Standard (DS), American National Standard (ANSI) and International Building Code 2003 (IBC). For reference, the Land Use Code can be found on the internet at www.ci.tucson.az.us/planning under Land Use Code. The Development Standard can be found at www.ci.tucson.az.us/dsd under Codes. 3. Per 3.4.3.7.B of the LUC, if an expansion of land area, floor area or vehicular use area is proposed greater than 25%, the entire site must meet current code requirements. This plan was reviewed under such circumstances. 4. Per DS 2-05.2.1.D.3, please provide the section corners (as in Township, Range and Section) to the project location map on the first page of the plan. 5. Per DS 2-05.2.2.B.1 and B.2, list the current zoning for the proposed development area is O-3, and C-2 for the existing development. Place a note next to the existing zoning note stating "Proposed zoning (for the proposed development sites) is C-2." In addition, please list the Development Plan number "D05-020" to the plan in the lower right hand corner of each page. 6. Per DS 2-05.2.2.B.3, the correct proposed use of the development is required on the plan. Per advisement of the Zoning Administrator, this project is classified as "Craftwork", an Industrial Use. Please amend all references on the plan pertaining to the proposed use as educational to read "Craftwork/Industrial Use." 7. Per DS 2-05.2.2.B.10, a note is required on the plan stating this project is designed to meet the Major Streets and Routes (MS&R) overlay zone requirements, as depicted in Section 2.8.3. of the LUC. 8. Per DS 2-05.2.3, identify existing conditions within 50 feet of the site, and due to the property abutting a Major Street & Route, include conditions on the south side of Glenn Street. 9. Per DS 2-05.2.3.B, if applicable, please include any easements on the development plan, with their respective recording information. 10. Per DS 2-05.2.3.C, the right of way information listed on the plan for Glenn Street indicates the total right of way is only 60 feet, when in actuality it is 64 feet per the City Major Streets and Routes Map. Please revise the plan accordingly. 11. Per DS 2-05.2.3.C, please call out all sidewalk areas throughout and surrounding the project. 12. Per DS 2-05.2.4.A, Coupled with the facet these parcels cannot function independently from one another and buildings generally cannot be built over lot lines, a combination of all lots and associated covenants will be required for this development to proceed. To obtain a copy of the covenants, please log onto the Development Services web site at www.tucsonaz.gov/dsd/Forms To obtain a copy of the tax combination forms, please contact the Pima County Assessor's Office. 13. Per DS 2-05.2.4.B, show existing zoning classifications on and adjacent to the project, with zoning boundaries clearly defined. 14. Per DS 2-05.2.4.D.3 and DS 3-05.C.1, please provide measurements for all PAALs and all points of ingress/egress shown on the plan. The minimum width required for all two-way PAALs is 24 feet. 15. Per DS 2-05.2.2.B.3, a two foot distance must be maintained between any fence or similar structure, and a PAAL. It appears a fence is to be installed along the west lot line, along the PAAL proposed in the areas identified now as lots 1 and 4. Please review the plan, advise if the item shown is a fence. If it is a fence, please ensure the project is revised to meet the above standard. 16. Per DS 2-05.2.4.E, and condition 3 of Rezoning Case C9-02-10, please list the docket and page recording information for the right of way spandrel dedication at the southwest corner of Balboa Avenue and Laguna Avenue. 17. As a review of the entire site is required, please list the building setbacks -for existing and proposed -per current code standards. Note, the required setback for any building along Glenn Street frontage is the greater of 21 feet or the height of the exterior building wall, measured from the back of the future curb. For setback purposes only, Balboa Avenue is considered a developing area because the site is bounded by a Major Streets and Routes. The required setback for any building along Balboa is based on the greater of 21 feet or the height of the exterior building wall, measured from the outside edge of the nearest adjacent travel lane. Please change the building setback notes on the plan to reflect the above information. Label and dimension existing and future curbs for both Balboa Avenue and Glenn Street, and the travel lane for Balboa Avenue. Please note, should building setbacks not meet the above, a Board of Adjustment process may be applicable, and further review comments may be forthcoming. See comment 34 for further information on the Board of Adjustment process. 18. Per DS 2-05.2.4.K, 2-08.3.1 and 2-08.5.1.A, a continuous pedestrian pathway is required throughout the development. Sidewalks should be constructed at a minimum of 4' wide. The pedestrian pathway should connect all buildings and the street sidewalks to the site. Please clarify the pedestrian area located along the west side of the proposed and existing buildings meets the required width. In addition, please provide a 4' wide sidewalk connecting from the existing sidewalk at building 2, along the existing parking lot to Glenn Street. Please clarify if access is provided throughout existing building 1 to existing building 2, existing building 3, and the proposed building expansions. 19. Per 2-05.2.4.L, all sidewalks abutting right of way areas and vehicle use areas must meet accessibility standards for physically disabled, thus access ramps at crosswalks connecting to sidewalks must be provided. Per ANSI Chapters 4 and 5, all handicapped ramps must be constructed at a slope of 1:12 or less. Please revise the plans to show such ramps at all areas where sidewalks meet vehicular use areas. Provide a typical detail drawing of the handicapped accessible ramps with dimensions and ratios. In addition, condition 4 of rezoning case C9-02-10 also requires installation of verification of existing sidewalks, curbing, and access ramps along all street frontages. Truncated Domes (early warning systems) must be added to all access ramps where transitioning from the pedestrian area to the vehicular use area or at HC access aisles transitioning to the sidewalk area. Please revise the plan accordingly. 20. Per DS 2-05.2.4.M, the plan shows a third smaller existing building on the area listed as lot 8. Please clarify if this building is to remain or be demolished. Should this building remain, please provide the square footage (and height and setbacks) for it and revise the Floor Area Ratio Calculations to reflect its inclusion. 21. Per DS 2-05.2.4.N, label all building heights - from finished grade. Provide building footprint dimensions for all buildings and their specific use. 22. Per DS 2-05.2.4.O and LUC 3.4.5.1, the number and size of loading zones required for this project depends upon the total gross floor area and property use. With the Craftwork Industrial Use, a total of 3 loading spaces are required, at a minimum dimension of 12 feet wide by 55 feet long. The plan indicates the loading zones are only 12 feet by 45 feet. Note, after addressing comment 20, should the square footage of the buildings increase to over 110,000, an additional loading space will be required. Please amend the plan accordingly. 22. Per condition 6 of rezoning case C9-02-10, the loading zones shall be located on the west side of the site. The submitted development plan shows the loading zones positioned on the east side of the site. This proposal requires Mayor and Council approval, as this is a change of conditions to a rezoning case. Please revise the plan to meet the requirements of this rezoning case. The alternative is to obtain permission from Mayor and Council for a change in the rezoning conditions. Please contact the Rezoning Division staff at DSD for further information on this process. 23. Per DS 2-05.2.4.P, the parking requirements for the development should be listed on the plan. Please revise the plan notes to state the development is to have parking per Land Use Code section 3.3.4, which requires Craftwork uses to have parking at a ratio of 1 space per 500 feet of gross floor area. With the approximate gross floor area of the entire development (scaled measurements were used for the smallest existing building to derive 860 square feet) consisting of 75,440 square feet, 151 parking spaces are required at minimum for the project. The plan lists 116 parking spaces are provided for the site. Staff's review determined only 113 parking spaces were shown on the plan. Please review and revise the plan to meet parking requirements. The alternative is to apply for and obtain a Board of Adjustment variance to delete a portion of required parking spaces. See comment 34 for further information on the Board of Adjustment process. 24. Per DS 3-05.2.3.C.1, 2 and 3, please install wheel stop barriers for all parking spaces to prevent damage to adjacent landscaping and vehicles. The wheel stop barriers must be installed to also ensure pedestrian walkway width of 4 feet is not compromised. In addition, the wheel stop barriers should be installed within 2.5 feet from the front of the parking space. Please provide a typical detail drawing of the wheel stop barrier. 25. Per DS 3-05.2.2.D, please provide back up spurs at the north part of the existing parking lot on Lot 1, and at the west end of the row of handicapped parking spaces shown in front of the proposed building. Please review DS 3-05.2.2 for requirements for back up spurs, either dimensioning the plan or providing a typical detail drawing. 26. Per IBC 2003, for development with 151 parking spaces required, 6 handicapped accessible parking spaces are required at minimum. Of those 6 handicapped parking spaces required, 1 must be van accessible. Please label all handicapped parking spaces, and their accessibility type, on the plan. 27. The submitted plan shows an area to the west side of the site to have 60 degree angled parking spaces. Per DS 3-05.6.0.Table 1, for a 60 degree angled parking space at a width of 8.5 feet, a minimum depth of 19.8 feet is required for the parking space. Please revise the typical drawings submitted accordingly. If this requirement cannot be met, a redesign of the parking spaces would be applicable. 28. Per DS 2-05.2.4.P, provide a typical drawing for a non-handicapped parking space. 29. Per DS 2-05.2.4.Q and LUC 3.3.4, the number of bicycle parking spaces required is equal to 8 percent of the total amount of vehicle parking spaces required or offered (greater number prevails). Of this ratio, 90 percent shall be class 1 (locker type) and 10 percent shall be class 2 (lock to fixture type). Please revise the plan notes and bicycle details accordingly. Please provide typical detail drawings of both bicycle parking types, including aerial and elevation drawings with dimensions. Be sure to clarify the width of the sidewalk area between the bicycle parking clearance space and the proposed building. 30. Per DS 2-05.2.4.T, be advised staff noted the dumpster location appears to be in conflict with the paths of passenger vehicles should the dumpster enclosure doors be open. In addition, waste collection vehicle access appears compromised. Please contact Environmental Services review staff for assistance with positioning the dumpster enclosure to code and to requirements of rezoning case C9-02-10 (stating the dumpster enclosure must be positioned on the west side of the site). 31. If applicable, provide locations of signs with dimensions. In addition, staff noted possible free-standing lighting was provided in the proposed parking lot north of the proposed building. Please provide typical detail drawings for the pole, with height and type of lighting information. 32. Staff acknowledges the landscaping plan shows a 5 foot vegetative buffer in front of the proposed screen wall (scaled at 85 feet long) at the east side of the site along Balboa Avenue. Please provide a clarification how this wall will meet condition 8 of rezoning case C9-02-10. 33. Please review the plan and ensure a revision to the development requirement notes is done, based upon the prior review comments. 34. Once all corrections are made to the plan, staff will be able to provide official Board of Adjustment referral comments indicating the variances needed to proceed with the project and to obtain zoning approval. 35. Please provide a separate response letter advising how conditions of rezoning case C9-02-10 have been met for this project. 36.
