Comments Due: 6/14/11

Items reviewed: Development Plan Package
· Gateway Centre PAD-3, Development Area 1a
· Gateway Route

Comments: Denied. Please resubmit, and address the following.

1) Please provide most recent development plan for the Walmart that includes the existing Walmart site layout, with calculations etc; and include this information with new calculations on the submitted development plan.
2) Per Gateway Centre PAD, landscaping within parking lot to follow City of Tucson LUC, i.e. 1 tree per every 4 parking spaces. Sheet CP-6.0, 7 of 8, does not show any trees in the parking area. Please correct.
3) The Gateway Centre PAD calls out that parking areas are to be designed to facilitate both vehicular and pedestrian movements. The proposed design on Sheet CP-6.0 does not demonstrate that the proposed parking lot is to be integrated into the existing parking area. Also the proposed parking area appears to create a bottleneck for ingress/egress onto the site at the N. Financial Center Drive access entrance. Please correct to show that proposed parking area will be fully integrated into the existing parking area, i.e. pedestrian linkages, and vehicular movement that emphasizes both internal and external linkages.

Development Plan

TRANSMITTAL DATE: June 13, 2011

DUE DATE: June 14, 20011

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 May 12, 2012.

2. Please address the following items and resubmit for review. Additional zoning comments may be forthcoming on the next review based on the revised plans and responses to zoning comments.

a. Clarify when this lot was, split, combined or otherwise. Per the plan the parcel is drawn with a distance and bearing describing the parcel. Per the Pima County Assessor's information it appears that the parcel in question has been combined with the Walmart parcel. If this is the case the calculations related to lot or parcel size etc. must be revised and must include the overall site acreage. The information related to the parcel should be listed as reference info for purposes of the demo and rework. Provide the recorded documentation if this parcel has indeed been combined with the Walmart parcel.

b. An overall site plan that includes the bank parcel and the existing Walmart development must be included in the development plan package. New overall calculations must be revised on sheet 7 (or on new overall site plan sheet) to include overall site area (which includes a site area expansion calculation), overall vehicle parking, overall bicycle parking, and overall disabled standard and van parking spaces, revised FAR and lot coverage if applicable. Follow the PAD document development criteria where applicable and criteria that defaults to the LUC.
Please keep in mind that the expansion of the site area changes the overall site and must be depicted as the most current site plan. The new plan will be the plan that will be referred to in the future as the most current site/development plan.

c. Clarify if the driveway access along the south side of the old bank parcel is one or two way access. Label on sheet 7 the width of the two access driveways along the east side of the old bank parcel.

d. Label the angle of the parking spaces to verify compliance with the parking space dimensions per development standards 3-05.

e. Additional disabled parking may be required based on the number of additional parking spaces provided. Additional bicycle parking spaces may be required as well. While the additional parking is not being required but is proposed by the owners, the parking lot design and ratios for both the vehicle and bicycle parking requirements are to be based on the most current code requirement. The new parking ratio only applies to the new parking area. This must be clearly identified on sheet 7 or the extra overall site plan. Two parking calculations will be demonstrated on the plan.

f. Landscaping within the new parking area will be required unless the PAD overrides current landscape requirements in the LUC.

g. Include with the next submittal a copies of the approved development plans for the Walmart and bank developments.

h. Additional comments may be forthcoming based on the responses to the zoning comments and the revisions requested to be made to the plans and the inclusion of requested drawings.

If you have any questions about this transmittal, please call David Rivera, (520) 837-4957.

RESUBMITTAL OF THE FOLLOWING IS REQUIRED: Revised development plan and additional requested documents.
06/14/2011 JOE LINVILLE LANDSCAPE REVIEW Denied LUC REQUIREMENTS

1) Within a vehicular use area, one (1) canopy tree is required for each four (4) motor vehicle parking
spaces or fraction thereof. LUC 3.7.2.3.A.1
Revise the plans to provide the required parking area trees.

2) Canopy trees must be evenly distributed throughout the vehicular use area. 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). LUC 3.7.2.3.A
Revise the landscape plan as necessary.

3) Show and identify existing plants to remain in place on the landscape plan. DS 2-07.2.2.A.1.e

4) Revise the landscape plan to show the locations and height of any proposed or existing screen walls. DS 2-07.A.3

5) Any change in design or land use requires a new review and approval process for the landscape plan. DS 2-07.2.0
Submit a revised landscape plan for the site.

GATEWAY CENTRE PLANNED AREA DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS

6) Streetscapes: In order to achieve a uniform landscape theme within the Planned Area Development Area, the areas within the street medians, parking strips, and streetscape setback areas shall have a coordinated landscape palette. P. IX-11

7) Parking and outdoor storage areas shall be screened from view off the property by the use of fencing, walls and/or landscaping.

8) All parking lot and driveway lighting should provide uniform
illumination. Accent illumination is recommended at key points such as entrances, exits, loading zones and drives.

Ensure that any proposed lighting does not conflict with tree plantings. Design the placement of trees in coordination with the outdoor lighting, so that the trees, at maturity, do not diminish the purpose of the lights. DS 2-06.2.2.J

9) Landscape Concept
The landscape concept for Gateway Centre (Exhibit 8) must unify and set the character for this urban space; repletion of a common theme and drought resistant, low maintenance plant materials will strengthen and enhance this image. (Basic landscaping specifications have been included as Appendix B.) Where a variety of architectural approaches are permitted for buildings, continuity must be assured by
coordinated landscaping, signage, street furniture and lighting.

Review the continuity of the landscape design for compliance with the PAD requirements.

SUMMARY: Engineering has received and reviewed the Wal-Mart demolition and new parking lot project for review. Engineering does not recommend approval of the plan at this time. See the following comments to address.

DEVELOPMENT PLAN COMMENTS:
1) DS Sec.2-08.5.1.A: Regarding accessibility, address the following comments:
a) Label and show sidewalk (minimum width: 4ft).
b) Show and label existing or proposed marked cross walk for accessible route, if required, per Ron Brown's review comments for accessibility to the existing building.
2) DS Sec.11-01.2.2.I: Address the following preliminary grading related comments:
a) A SWPPP will need to be submitted with the grading plan. Also address the following SWPPP related comment: revise detail SF on sheet CP-3.0 to remove compacted backfill above grade in front of silt fence, to allow for continuation of flow through the silt fence and prevent concentration of flows along front of silt fence.
b) A grading permit application will be required, and may be submitted at this time. (A grading permit provides inspections for the project and is typically required for projects where drainage must be inspected.)
