| 04/01/2008 | PETER MCLAUGHLIN | LANDSCAPE | REVIEW | Denied | 1. Add the CDRC development plan case number (D08-021) to all sheets of the development plan, landscape plan and native plant preservation plan. 2. The parking calculations state that 9 vehicle parking spaces are required and provided but only seven standard vehicle spaces are clearly depicted and dimensioned on the plans (except for the native plant preservation plan which shows nine parking spaces), along with a number of larger loading zone spaces shown to the east of building "H". Within vehicular use areas, one (1) canopy tree is required for each 10 motor vehicle parking spaces and every parking space shall be located within forty (40) feet of the trunk of a canopy tree (as measured from the center of the tree trunk) per LUC 3.7.2.3.A.1.a. Label all nine proposed vehicle parking spaces clearly on the plan. 3. A ten-foot interior landscape border is required along the northeast property line (adjacent R-1 zoning). Where motor vehicle parking spaces or parking area access lanes (PAALs) are located next to the property line, an interior landscape border is not required if: a. An equivalent number of trees are planted elsewhere on the site between the building(s) and the property line. b. The trees are evenly distributed over the site; and c. The minimum planting area required in Sec. 3.7.2.3.A.1.c is provided for each canopy tree. One (1) canopy tree must be provided for every thirty-three (33) linear feet of landscape border or fraction thereof. 4. An unpaved area, which is a minimum of thirty-four (34) square feet in area and four (4) feet in width, must be provided for each canopy tree. The tree planters along the northeast property line are dimensioned at only 4 feet by 4 feet, which does not meet code. Revise planter areas as necessary to comply. LUC 3.7.2.3.A.1.c, DS 2-07.2.2.A.2.e 5. Per LUC Table 3.7.2-I, a 30" continuous screen along the development side of the street landscape border must be provided along Old Vail Road, which is a designated on the Major Street and Routes plan. Revise landscape plan to indicate required screening. 6. Landscaping general notes 9 and 18 are the same and one should be removed. 7. Both an existing 6-foot masonry screen wall (keynote 8) and a 6-foot chain link fence with slats (keynote 11) are labeled along the northeast property line. Do both currently exist there? Clarify in the response comments, and if necessary revise plans. 8. Remove landscape general note 12 and resubmit an irrigation plan with any irrigation plan components which may not be included on the landscape plan. Include irrigation system specifications, design, and layout per DS 2-06.5.4.A and 2-06.5.4.B. 9. Some of the labels on the NPP Plan are difficult to read because of the dark back ground of the aerial photgraph base. For legibility it may be necessary to either lighten the background or use white numbers and symbols for the plant labels. |

| 04/22/2008 | TERRY STEVENS | ZONING | REVIEW | Denied | CDRC TRANSMITTAL TO: Development Services Department Plans Coordination Office FROM: Terry Stevens Lead Planner PROJECT: D08-0021 America's Best Self Storage Development Plan TRANSMITTAL: 05/09/2008 DUE DATE: 04/18/08 COMMENTS: 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 03/20/09. 2. DS 2-05.2.4.A A search of Pima County Assessors records indicate a split has been done on this property in May of 2007. Prior to approval of the development plan a lot split application must be processed and approved. A separate application, fees, review, and approval by DSD is required for the lot split. If the lot split has been processed and approved by DSD, submit copies of the approved survey drawing along with the recorded legal descriptions (with docket and page stamped) with the next submittal. 3. DS 2-05.2.1.D Label the railroad on the location map on each sheet with a location map.. Provide township, range and section for the location plan on each sheet with a location map. 4. DS 2-05.2.1.K Provide the annexation case number (C9-84-84) near the lower right corner next to the title block. Also list the conditions of development as a note. Provide a title block in the lower right corner of each sheet. 5. DS 2-05.2.2.B.2 Case number D08-0021 has been assigned to this development plan (DP). Please place this number in the right corner of all sheets of the development plan, landscape plan, NPPO, and any other associated sheets. 6. DS 2-05.2.2.C.3 This project appear to have two principal uses, Personal Storage and Trade Services Repair - Major. Revise the proposed use note to indicate the two uses with all subject to: sections applicable for each use. Personal Storage is subject to: LUC Sec. 3.5.10.3.C, & .F. Provide elevation drawings of buildings C, D, E and F clearly indicating compliance with this subject to: section. Contact Department of Urban Planning for additional information. Clearly indicate the area to be designated for use as Trade Service Repair - Major. This area must include vehicular use area, pedestrian circulation, required loading zone, etc. The square footage of this area will be used to determine required parking spaces. See LUC Sec. 3.3.4. 7. DS 2-05.2.2.B.10 Add a note stating that this project is designed to meet the overlay zone criteria: Sec.2.8.5 Airport Environs Zone. This project is not with the Airport Hazard District. Remove any pertaining notes. Add note(s) to this plan clearly indicating how this site will meet the requirements of the NCD-65. Review LUC Sec. 2.8.5.6.A, .1 & .2 and comply. Review LUC Sec. 2.8.5.8.B for the ADC-2, revise notes to indicate all requirements. For example: maximum allowed FAR is .30 not 2.00 a indicated. 8. DS 2-05.2.3.B If applicable, all existing and proposed easements shall be drawn on the plan. The recordation information, location, width, and purpose of all easements on site will be stated. 9. DS 2-05.2.4.D.3 Review LUC Sec. 3.3.7.2C.4 for the requirements for PAALs within a Storage Use Group. Parking spaces are not required nor allowed in front of the storage units. Clearly indicate the width of the PAAL along the north side of this project. The curbing for the trees (keynote #8) appears to limit the width of the PAAL to less than required. The PAAL along the south side of the project is restricted to less than required by the storage parking spaces at the south east corner of building "E" (keynote #30). A back-up spur will be provided at the end of a row of parking if no ingress or egress is provided at that end. The spur will be a minimum of three (3) feet in depth, will have a three (3) foot radii, and will have a wheel barrier to prevent encroachment onto any unsurfaced areas. A minimum distance of three (3) feet will be provided between the back of spur and any wall, screen, or other obstruction over six (6) inches in height. This code applies at the trash enclosure area. A redesign of this area will be required. As well the pedestrian circulation path in front of the trash enclosure will not be allowed. The sidewalk must also be physically separated from the vehicular use area (raised or barriers). Per DS 3-05.2.3.C.1 A vehicular use area must be provided with post barricades or wheel stop curbing designed to prevent parked vehicles from extending beyond the property lines; damaging adjacent landscaping, walls, or buildings; or overhanging adjacent sidewalk areas or unpaved areas on or off site and to prevent vehicles from driving onto unimproved portions of the site. The thickened edge detail 13/sd4 and 1/sd4 as well as the site plan must be revised to show barriers or wheel stop curbing along all areas of paving. The rolling gate indicated on the site plan appears to limit the required width of the PAAL behind the parking spaces to less than the minimum 24' width. Revise. 10. DS 2-05.2.4.I The indicated required setbacks in the zoning code information portion of sheet sd0 are not correct. Setback when adjacent to I-1 zoned property is 0. There is no R-1 property adjacent to this project. Setback when adjacent to MH-1 property is 1 ½ times the height of the structure not 2 times. Revise notes and provide dimensions from the structures to the property lines. 11. DS 2-05.2.4.K There is a conflict between the keynote #6 and the dimensioned plan in regards to the width of the sidewalk. Revise. A 4' sidewalk is required between parking spaces and a building. Missing at the east and west side of building "H". These sidewalks must connect to the pedestrian circulation path. Revise detail 4/sd5 and 14/sd4, sidewalks must be physically separated from the vehicular use area. 12. DS 2-05.2.4.O Provide dimensions of the loading zone on the site plan as it appears the loading zone may extend into the PAAL. 13. DS 2-05.2.4.P The provided parking space calculations will be required to be revised. The Trade Service Repair- Major is parked at a ratio of 1:1000 sq. ft. of area indicated for the use, not just the building area. Additional parking spaces may be required to be provided on the site plan. 14. DS 2-05.2.4.Q In the bicycle parking calculations revise the number of required bicycle parking spaces to two. Two is the minimum number required. 15. DS 2-05.2.4.V Please indicate the location and type of postal service to assure there are no conflicts with other requirements. If mail is to be delivered to an area within a building please state so on the plan. 16. DS 2-05.2.4.W Indicate the locations and types of proposed signs (wall, freestanding, pedestal) to assure there are no conflicts with other requirements and that minimal locational requirements can be met. Also indicate if there are existing billboards on site. Billboards will be required to meet all LUC requirements as stated in LUC Sec. 3.5.4.26. If none exists please state so.

Provide a cross section at the upstream end of all proposed buildings to verify that the elevation of the finished floor is one-foot above the calculated water surface elevation. 28) DS Sec.2-05.2.4.I: Revise the Development Plan to provide all setback lines, such as the erosion hazard, floodplain limits, retention basins, etc. 29) DS Sec.2-05.2.4.K: Revise the Development Plan to clearly show the unobstructed 5-foot sidewalk that is located adjacent to the PAAL and 4-feet between the building and the parking spaces. 30) DS Sec.2-05.2.4.K: Revise the Development Plan to show the minimum distance of 5-feet for the pedestrian refuge that is proposed from the right-of-way of Old Vail Rd and the proposed building. The pedestrian circulation is required to be a minimum 4-foot wide and set back 1-foot from the PAAL and must be physically separated from the PAAL with curbing or 6" raised concrete sidewalk. 31) DS Sec.2-05.2.4.L: Revise the development plan and details to show existing or proposed sidewalks along abutting right-of-way. Revise dimensions on development plan to show the existing or proposed 6-foot wide sidewalk along Old Vail Road. Per the adopted Mayor and Counsel policy all sidewalks along MS&R right-of-ways for arterial and collector streets require 6-foot wide sidewalks. All sidewalks must comply with ADA accessibility requirements. If an existing 4- or 5-foot sidewalk is already constructed along the frontage of Old Vail Road provide photo documentation showing that the existing sidewalk is in good condition. If the sidewalk is missing in spots or is cracked and buckled a new 6-foot sidewalk will be required. A DSMR will be required for modifying the development standards to allow the existing sidewalk, if less than the minimum 6-foot required, to remain. The DSMR must be approved prior to Development Plan approval. All exhibits and discussion must reflect any changes made by the approved DSMR. Provide a General Note to list the DSMR number, the Development Standard being modified along with the date of DSMR approval. 32) DS Sec.2-05.2.4.O: Label and dimension the maneuverability for all required loading zones on the subject property, if applicable through the Zoning Section. 33) DS Sec.2-05.2.4.R: Label and dimension the sight visibility triangles that are shown in plan view.

The enclosures must have a minimum inside clear dimension of 10 feet by 10 feet between the steel bollards that are required between the container and the enclosure's rear and sidewall. The inside clear dimensions must be shown from the face of the wall protectors. Refer to Figure 3 and DS Sec.6-01.4.2 for specifications and requirements on access, placement of containers, bin enclosure and construction. Provide the minimum 14-ft x 40-ft clear approach to the enclosure area. Refer to Environmental Services for further clarity on refuse requirements. 35) DS Sec.2-05.2.4.T: Label and dimension the minimum maneuverability for the proposed refuse container. Label and dimension the minimum 36-foot inside and 50-foot outside radii to show vehicle maneuverability to verify that landscaping and parking spaces are not an obstruction. 36) DS Sec.2-05.2.4.T: The refuse vehicle must have a maximum back-up distance of 40-feet and can not back-up into or over proposed parking spaces. Per the submitted Development Plan the refuse vehicle has to back up greater than the allowed 40-foot distance in order to meet the minimum turning radius, revise. 37) DS Sec.2-05.2.4.W: Provide a General Note on the Development Plan stating that "All fencing and walls will require a separate permit for review and approval by all necessary Development Services Departments." 38) DS Sec.2-05.2.4.X: The Development Plan can not be approved until all Landscaping/NPPO violations are cleared up. Per a site visit on May 1, 2008 it was noted that the entire property (including the property to the south) has been grubbed and some grading activity has taken place. Field notes show that large caliper trees have been removed from the property and all plant life grubbed and removed for future grading, however no grubbing/grading or NPPO plan or permit was approved by this office for grubbing activities. The Landscaping Section has been notified of this and all violation must be cleared prior to Development Plan approval. 39) DS Sec.2-05.3.2.A: Provide a geotechnical report that addresses all the items under the Geotechnical Report Comment section. Verify that all recommendations have been addressed on the proposed Development Plan. Refer to the Geotechnical Report Comment Section for further clarity. 40) DS Sec.2-05.3.2.H: Any Development Standard Modification Requires (DSMRs) related to the Development Plan should be submitted to the CDRC Department. DRAINAGE STATEMENT: 41) DS Sec.10-01.2.3: Revise the Stormwater Retention/Detention Section (5.0) of the drainage report to provide a discussion on the 5-year threshold retention that is required due to the commercial development being larger than 1 acre and within a balanced basin. Revise the drainage report and site layout (with retention basin design) to meet the minimum standards for development outlined in the Stormwater Detention/Retention Manual. Per this section and the referenced Criterion 1 only detention requirements can be waived for this project. All 5-year threshold retention requirements are still applicable. Per this section; "Threshold retention requirements shall remain unaffected by the application of these criteria." 42) DS Sec.10-02.2.3.1.4.C.1: Provide the water surface elevation (WSEL) and the 100-year floodplain limits of the regulatory wash that is shown on the Development Plan, proposed Drainage Report and adjacent Improvement Plans. Label the 100-year floodplain limits in plan view on the Development Plan. 43) DS 10-02.2.3.1.5.B: Revise the Drainage Report or provide the last approved Drainage Report for all adjacent drainage infrastructures. Provide details and dimensions for the existing drainage channel and associated rock rip rap erosion protection for the channel that discharges into the north corner of the site. All existing drainage infrastructure must remain or a revised detailed Drainage Report will be required to show how this property accepts the regulatory flow of 100 cubic feet per second per the Development Standards. Offsite flow that is entering the property can not be diverted or blocked, all flows entering the site must be accepted and must be discharge at the same location on the down stream end at the property boundary. The statement on page 4 of the Drainage Report does not meet the minimum requirements for accepting offsite flows. Removal of existing infrastructure is not permitted. 44) DS Sec.10-02.2.3.1.4.D: Revise the Drainage Statement to provide the water surface elevation for the project at a minimum of 4 locations (may be more to determine floodplain limits) to verify finished floor elevation, roadway crossing elevation and discharge elevation at the downstream property line. 45) DS Sec.10-02.7.6.1: Revise the Drainage Report to provide a discussion with calculation for the erosion hazard setback required from the bank of the regulatory wash (100 cfs at upstream end of property) to determine setback location for all proposed buildings. 46) DS Sec.10-02.11.4.2: Revise the Drainage Report to provide hydraulic calculations and specific details for the proposed 5 drainage culverts. Provide the percent slope, inlet and outlet erosion protection details (due to the calculated velocities) per DS Sec.10-02.11.4.4.2, and spot elevations at the inlet, outlet and top of PAAL, and depth of water at inlet. The detail must be shown on the Development Plan and match the requirements within the revised Drainage Report. 47) DS Sec.10-02.2.3.1.5: Verify that all details that are on the proposed Development Plan meet the minimum requirements and design parameters per the revised Drainage Report. Verify that the proposed drainage improvements, culverts, channel sections, erosion protection, etc meet the requirements within the Drainage Report and the recommendation within the geotechnical report. 48) DS Sec.10-01.2.2: Provide a geotechnical report with infiltration rates for the required retention basin, slope stability recommendations, and pavement design recommendations. Clarify if the Drainage Report and Development Plan match the geotechnical report. Infiltration rates must have a drain down time per 10-01.3.5.1.3 depending on the size of the watershed. 49) Provide a revised Drainage Report showing scupper calculations that demonstrate that the 10-year flood flow is contained under the proposed sidewalk at all scupper locations. Provide details and dimensions in plan view for the scuppers to meet the minimum curb opening requirements. GEOTECHNICAL REPORT: 50) DS Sec.10-01.3.5.1.3.a and 10-02.14.2.6: Provide a Geotechnical Report evaluation that addresses the following: a) Soils report should provide conformance with DS Section 10-02.14.2.6 regarding 30-foot boring for the retention basin, and provide a discussion of the potential for hydro-collapsible soils and building setbacks from the required retention basin. b) Provide percolation rates for the retention basin for 5-year threshold to show that the drain down time meets the maximum per DS Sec.10-01.3.5.1. c) Provide pavement structure design recommendations. d) Provide slope stability recommendations for the proposed constructed slopes that are proposed. GRADING PLAN: 51) DS Sec.11-01.2.1: A grading permit is required for this project.
