Dev. Plan – 2nd Submittal
D08-001


The proposed sewer collection lines for the above-referenced project have been reviewed on behalf of the Pima County Department of Environmental Quality (PDEQ) and the Pima County Wastewater Management Department (PCWMD). This review letter may contain comments pertaining to the concerns of either Department. The following comments are offered for your use.

The development plan submitted is significantly deficient. Refer to Pima County Development Services “Development Plan Review, Checklist Requirements” section J. WASTEWATER, for submittal requirements. 2nd request. The checklist is available at;

http://www.pimaxpress.com/SubDivision/Documents/DevPlanReq.pdf

Sheet 1: Show the public and private sewer lines using different line-types, so that they can readily be distinguished from each other. Also, show and describe examples of these different line types in a legend on Sheet 1 and show all sewer element symbols in the Legend both existing and private. 2nd Request.

Sheet 1: All public sewer elements (manholes and sewer mains), that are located on this project or are less than 100’ from this project, should be identified with the wastewater plan and IMS numbers. The IMS numbers are the sewer element identification numbers that can be found on the PCWMD Maps and Records (5th floor) basemaps or on PCWMD and PCDOT MapGuide internet websites. Include the rim and invert elevations for the manholes. 2nd request.

This office will require a revised set of bluelines, and a response letter, addressing these comments. Additional comments may be made during the review of these documents.

Pima County Code Title 13.20.030.A.2 requires that a wastewater review fee be paid for each submittal of the development plan. The fee for the first submittal is $166 plus $50 per sheet. For the second submittal, the review fee is $50 per sheet. For all subsequent submittals, the review fee is $39 per sheet.

The next submittal of this project will be the third(3rd) submittal. A check for the review fee of this submittal in the amount of $39.00 (made out to PIMA COUNTY TREASURER) must accompany the revised set of bluelines and response letter.

If the number of sheets changes, please adjust the review fee accordingly.


If you have any questions regarding the above-mentioned comments, please contact me.

TO: Development Services Department Plans Coordination Office
FROM: Steve Shields
Lead Planner

PROJECT: Costco Addition
D08-0001
Development Plan (2nd Review)

TRANSMITTAL DATE: June 30, 2008

DUE DATE: July 7, 2008

COMMENTS: Please resubmit revised drawings along a response letter, which states how all Zoning Review Section comments regarding the Land Use Code and Development Standards were addressed.

1) 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 January 14, 2009.

Following a conversation with Nathan Menard, AIA this review was conducted using sheets DR-00, DR-1.1 & DR-1.2. The following comments relate to these sheets only.

2) D.S. 2-05.2.2.B.11 Zoning acknowledges the site acreage is shown under the PROJECT AREA, also provide the site area in square footage.

3) Zoning acknowledges your response to this comment. Provide written documentation from TEP that shows that this is in process and that they have no objection to building within the easement. D.S. 2-05.2.3.B Based on the provided approved site plans it appears that there is an existing 10' electrical easement located along the north side of the building under the proposed new Mechanical Maint. and Produce addition. This easement will need to be abandoned. Provide documentation for this abandonment.

4) Remove "RIGHT-OF-WAY" from this easement listing. D.S. 2-05.2.3.B There is a reference to a "10' W. ELECT R.O.W." located near the northwest corner of the existing building. It appears this should be called out as an easement. Provide the docket and page for this easement.

5) This comment was not addressed. D.S. 2-05.2.4.C Provide all existing zoning classifications on and adjacent to this project (including adjacent right-of-way), clearly define the boundaries. These parcels have split zoning City of Tucson Zoning C-2 and Pima County Zoning CR-2; clearly indicate the boundary on the plan. The parcel located along the southwest edge of the project is zoned City of Tucson Zoning O-3. The parcel located along the southeast edge of the project is zoned Pima County Zoning CB-1. The zoning for the parcel(s) located south of Grant Road is City of Tucson Zoning C-1.

6) D.S. 2-05.2.4.D.3 Provide a dimension for all striped crosswalks shown on the plan.

7) D.S. 2-05.2.4.F Show the location of the future right-of-way (ROW) and future curb for Grant road. Zoning acknowledges that there will not be dedication of ROW for this project.

8) This comment was not addressed. D.S. 2-05.2.4.G State if the proposed "NEW 10' WIDE ELEC. EASEMENT" will be private or public.

9) D.S. 2-05.2.4.I Until the future curb for Grant Road is provided and a building setback dimension to the back of future curb is provided, the required building setback to Grant Road cannot be verified. See LUC Section 32.6.5.B for required setbacks along an MS&R.

10) There does not appear to be a sidewalk between the proposed addition and the parking located to the west. It is not clear that there is a sidewalk proposed between the loading area and the parking spaces to the west. Per D.S. 2-0.4.1.C A sidewalk will be provided adjacent to any parking space accessed by a PAAL where the space is located on the same side of the PAAL as any building and no other parking spaces or PAALs intervene. This sidewalk is required to provide a continuous pedestrian circulation path. It appears that there is a sidewalk that runs along the south side of the building. If the existing sidewalk meets the requirements of D.S. 2-08 the pedestrian circulation may connect into this sidewalk. If needed the sidewalk located in the ROW along Grant Road may be used for this circulation, a Development Standard Modification Request (DSMR) will be require if the sidewalk within the ROW is used for the required circulation. D.S. 2-05.2.4.K Provide a four (4) foot sidewalk between the proposed parking, located along the west side of the proposed loading dock, and the proposed addition, see D.S. 2-08.4.1.C.

11) This comment was not addressed. D.S. 2-05.2.4.K Provide a five (5) foot pedestrian refuge and at a minimum four (4) foot sidewalk along the north side of the proposed mechanical /maint. & produce addition, see D.S. 2-08.4.1.B and 3-05.2.2.B.1.

12) D.S. 2-05.2.4.K A striped five (5) foot pedestrian refuge is required along the tire installation bays connecting into the sidewalks to the east and west.

13) D.S. 2-05.2.4.N Provide dimensions and the height of the proposed additions on the plan.

14) Zoning is unable to locate the proposed 12'x35' bread truck loading space, please clarify. D.S. 2-05.2.4.O Fully dimension the proposed loading spaces. Also provide a calculation for the number of loading spaces required and the number provided. Per LUC Sec. 3.4.5.3 for a 161,965 square foot building, General Merchandise Sales, the required number of 12'x35' loading spaces is five (5). It appears that only four (4) are provided.

15) D.S. 2-05.2.4.P It appears that additional parking is proposed along the northwest area of this site. As this is an expansion of vehicle use area provide a vehicle use area expansion calculation on the plan.

16) Zoning acknowledges the provided handicapped vehicle parking space detail. Provide a standard vehicle parking space detail. D.S. 2-05.2.4.P As there are numerous changes to the parking configuration provide a detail for both accessible and standard vehicle parking spaces.

17) D.S. 2-05.2.4.P The height dimension shown on the ADA PARKING SIGNAGE detail from the bottom of main sign to grade is not correct. This dimension should be 7'-0"

18) D.S. 2-05.2.4.P It appears that the parking calculation may be incorrect. After a count of parking spaces on the plan the provided number appears to be 810.

19) D.S. 2-05.2.4.P There is a striped pedestrian area shown near the northeast corner of the building adjacent to the west side of a landscape island. The striped area adjacent to the landscaped island is required to be a sidewalk, physically separated from the vehicle use area.

20) D.S. 2-05.2.4.P Provide truncated domes on the sidewalk adjacent to the building at the end of the striped crosswalks.

21) D.S. 2-05.2.4.Q The proposed Class 2 bicycle parking does not meet the requirements of the revised D.S. 2-09.0. Please review the revised D.S.2-09.0, specifically D.S. 2-09.5 and D.S. 2-09.9 Figure 4 as the ribbon style rack is no longer acceptable. Revise the detail according. On the detail provide materials for lighting and paving, type of security, dimensions, specific type of rack and the number of bicycles it supports

22) This comment was not addressed. D.S. 2-05.2.4.R Provide existing and future sight visibility triangles (SVT's) on the plan.

23) The comment response letter did not address this comment. Per current aerial photos it appears that the area shown as "UNDEVELOPED AREA", northwest area of the plan, has been graded and a light pole installed. Provide documentation that shows the proper permits were issued for this work.

24) In regards to combining the three (3) parcels for this site, since they are located within Pima County and the City of Tucson provide a recorded Covenant Regarding Development and Use Of Real Property.

25) There appears to be a discrepancy in the square footage of the existing building. Based on Development Plan D00-0068 the total square footage was 152,641, please clarify the difference.

26) Provide a building expansion calculation on the plan.
