1. Section 5.3.8.2, LUC, permits a maximum of one year from the date of application to obtain approval of a development package. If, at the end of that time, the development package 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 June 30, 2011

2. This development package was reviewed for compliance with the City of Tucson Development Standards (D.S.) and Land Use Code (LUC) for full code compliance.

3. Applications for projects within the Rio Nuevo and Downtown (RND) Zone shall be reviewed in accordance with the Administrative Design Review Procedures, 23A-32.

Dev. Plan – 1ST Submittal
D10-0022


The Pima County Regional Wastewater Reclamation Department (PCRWRD) has reviewed the proposed sewer collection lines for the above-referenced project. The following comments are offered for your use:

Sheet 1: Add a General Note that states:

THIS PROJECT WILL HAVE ______ EXISTING AND______ PROPOSED WASTEWATER FIXTURE UNIT EQUIVALENTS PER TABLE 13.20.045(E)(1) IN PIMA COUNTY CODE 13.20.045(E).

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 linetypes in the legend on Sheet 1.

Sheet 4: Show the rim and invert elevations for all of the existing public manholes on plan.

Sheet 4: Show the construction plan # and pipe size for the existing public sewer on plan.

Sheet 4: We recommend that you connect at the existing private cleanout. With the connection as shown the City of Tucson DOT may require the 8” line be public which would necessitate that your proposed manhole on site be public. We would then have issues with accessibility to the manhole as currently shown. Also they may have a pavement cut moratorium currently in place.

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 second(2nd) submittal. A check for the review fee of this submittal in the amount of $100.00 (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

This comment letter has been reviewed and accepted for substantial conformance to Pima
County Code Title 13 by:

07/26/2010 JOSE ORTIZ COT NON-DSD TRAFFIC Denied July 26, 2010
ACTIVITY NUMBER: D10-0022 Plaza Centro
PROJECT NAME: Plaza Centro
PROJECT ADDRESS: Toole/Congress
PROJECT REVIEWER: Jose E. Ortiz PE, Traffic Engineer

Resubmittal Required: Traffic Engineering does not recommend approval of the Development Plan; therefore a revised Development Plan is required for re-submittal. The following items must be revised or added to the development plan.

1. Include a response letter with the next submittal that states how all comments have been addressed.

2. The access points shall have 18' radius curb returns. (DS 3-01.0 figure 6)

3. TDOT-Traffic is concern with the proposed single entrance into the proposed parking garage along Toole/Congress. Toole/Congress is an arterial roadway and the garage-gated entrance will potentially create queue lengths that will extend into the roadway and the future streetcar alignment.

4. Provide a Traffic Impact Analysis to address potential impacts to Toole/Congress Road due to queuing vehicles at the gated entry. The analysis should also provide recommendations to the location of the gated entry.

5. A permit or a private improvement agreement will be necessary for any work performed within the Right-of-way. Contact Permits and Codes at (520) 791-5100 for permit information.

6. It appears that Right of Way needs to be dedicated and/or vacated therefore the plans need to be reviewed by COT Real Estate. TDOT-Traffic will not approve the development plans until the dedication and vacation of right of way has been recorded/accepted by COT Real Estate.
