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 3.3.3.G.5.c UDC, An applicant has one year from the date of application to obtain approval of a site plan that complies with zoning and other development requirements in effect at the time of application, unless an ordinance adopted by Mayor and Council during this period states otherwise. A site plan application that has been in review for a period of one year and has not yet been approved is considered denied. To continue the review of a site plan for the property, a new site plan must be submitted that complies with regulations in effect at the time of re-submittal. The new submittal initiates a new one-year review period. One year Expiration date is May 24, 2014.

This plan has been reviewed for compliance with the Development Package Standards listed in section 2-06 of the City of Tucson Administrative Manual. Also compliance with applicable development criteria for the proposed use as listed in the City of Tucson Uniform Development Code (UDC).

The review comments include the actual standard first with the applicable Administrative Manual section number and the following paragraph is the actual comment related to the specific item that must be addressed. If you need to review the sections listed below click on the link or copy it in the address bar of your internet program http://www.amlegal.com/nxt/gateway.dll/Arizona/tucson_az_udc/administrativemanual?f=templates$fn=default.htm$3.0$vid=amlegal:tucson_udc_az This will take you directly to the section used for the standards review. The UDC requirements are in the Unified Development Code and can be viewed at the same web link as above.

2. - 2-06.3.0 FORMAT REQUIREMENTS: 3.2 - All mapped data shall be drawn at an engineering scale having no more than fifty (50) feet to the inch. This scale is the minimum accepted to assure the plan will be legible during review and when digitized and/or reduced for record-keeping purposes. The same scale shall be used for all sheets within the set. Smaller scales (60:1 or greater) may be used for some or all of the sheets with the prior approval of PDSD when it is determined legibility and the ability to be digitized and/or reduced for archiving will not be affected.

COMMENT: All sheets must be drawn to an engineering scale as noted above, revise the plan sheets as required.

3. - 2-06.3.3, All lettering and text (upper or lower case), and numbering, shall be a minimum of 3/32 inches in height to assure the plan will be legible during review and when digitized and/or reduced for archiving.

COMMENT: Verify that all text meets the minimum text height of 3/32. The text for the legal description on the cover sheet appears to be less than the minimum required text height. The text height used on sheet two is also less than the required text height. Review all sheets and adjust the text height as per this standard if the height is less than 3/32 or the engineering scale equivalent.

4. - 2-06.3.6, Provide a blank three (3) inch by five (5) inch block in the lower right corner of the plan adjacent to the title block on the first sheet of the development package for use by Pima County Addressing.

COMMENT: The plan sheets have been provided with a 3 x 5 inch box as noted in this standard but sheet one needs an additional box above the one that has already been provided. The box on the cover sheet is always used by Pima County Addressing. Better yet, instead of providing the 3 x 5 boxes for the development package approval stamp you can download the digital approval stamp and insert it into all you r plan sheets. The approval stamp of the cover sheet should be placed of the 3 x 5 inch box required for Pima County Addressing. The following link will get you to the web site to download the digital stamp in one of three formats, dwg, jpg, and pdf, http://cms3.tucsonaz.gov/pdsd/cdrc-rezoning/cdrd-stamp If you have any questions or problems downloading the digital stamps feel free to call or email me.

On sites bounded by a street with a width of fifty (50) feet or greater, the existing conditions across the street will be provided.

2-06.4.8.A and 4.9.A - Provide site boundary/subdivision perimeter information, including bearing in degrees, minutes, and seconds, with basis for bearing noted, together with distances in feet, to hundredths of a foot, or other functional reference system.

COMMENT: The text height on the ALTA Survey is less than the required minimum height allowed by the A.M. 2-06.3.3. Increase the text height of the perimeter distance bearings and for those perimeter distance and bearings and the bold text is not legible. Address as required for text height and legibility. Label the parcel perimeter distance and bearings on sheet 3 of 15 (Site Plan). (The drawing scale must be an engineering scale for all plan sheets, see comment number 2.)

COMMENT: Prior to approval of the development package, lots 22 and 23 will have to be combined and any recorded documentation for the lot combo must be provided to PDSD Zoning Review as verification of the lot combo.

COMMENT: Draw, label and reference block one on the site plan sheet 3

16. 2-06.4.8.B and 2-06.4.9.L All easements shall be drawn on the plan. The recordation information, location, width, and purpose of all easements on site will be stated. Blanket easements should be listed in the notes, together with recordation data and their proposed status. Should an easement not be in use and be proposed for vacation or have been abandoned, so indicate. However, should the easement be in conflict with any proposed building location, vacation of the easement shall occur prior to approval of plan unless written permission from easement holder(s) is provided.

COMMENT: Any existing or proposed easements must be drawn, labeled with the width and purpose of said easement along with any recordation information. If applicable, any abandonment or vacation of existing easements must be noted on the plan. This information is probably best added to the utilities plan sheet but the easements if any should be drawn and labeled on site sheets as well.

17. 2-06.4.9 - Information on Proposed Development
The following information on the proposed project shall be shown on the drawing or added as notes.

2-06.4.9.B - Identify each block or lot by number within the subdivision boundary and include the approximate square footage of each, or a note may be provided stating that all lots comply with the minimum lot size requirements.

COMMENT: Identify the new lot number once lots22 and 23 are combined or the description of the new parcel. Also as requested to draw and block one, label the block as reference.

18. 2-06.4.9.F - All existing zoning classifications on and adjacent to the project (including across any adjacent right-of-way) shall be indicated on the drawing with zoning boundaries clearly defined. If the property is being rezoned, use those boundaries and classifications. The basis for this requirement is that some zoning requirements on a project are based on the zoning classification of adjacent property. Also, in some instances, each zone has to be taken into consideration on property that is split by two (2) or more zoning classifications, as each may have different requirements.

COMMENT: Label the actual adjacent zoning to the development parcel and remove from the site plan sheets, the words "USE: GENERAL MERCHANDISE" labeled around the parcel. If split zoning exists adjacent to the boundary of the parcel, delineate and label the zoning boundary lines accordingly.

19. 2-06.4.9.H - Proposed traffic circulation:

2-06.4.9.H.1 - Proposed traffic circulation will be designed in accordance with Section 10-01.0.0, Street Technical Standards, of the Technical Standards Manual, to include streets, intersections, street names, right-of-way widths, curve radii of centerlines and curb returns, and proposed improvements, such as pavement, curbs, access points (driveways), accessible ramps, and sidewalks. Street improvements, such as sidewalks, curbs, pavement, and accessible ramps, do not need to be drawn on the plan if such information is provided on typical street cross sections.

COMMENT: It is acknowledged that a new street is not to be built interior to the development but access to the specific development is through a drive entrance along Houghton Road according to this plan. Clarify how much infrastructure is in place that will provide the necessary vehicle access to the Panda Express pad. Label and dimension the width of the sidewalk providing pedestrian access from Houghton Road to the onsite pedestrian circulation and to the pedestrian circulation to the Panda Express building. This circulation must also be accessible to comply with any ANSI requirements. Callout any required early warning devices (truncated dome pads) where they are required by the Building Code accessibility section.

20. 2-06.4.9.H.2 - Show future and existing sight visibility triangles. On a designated MS&R street, the sight visibility triangles are based on the MS&R cross-section.

COMMENT: Draw, label and dimension the existing and future Sight Visibility triangles at the Houghton Road and site driveway entrance.

21. 2-06.4.9.H.2.5.a - Show all motor vehicle off-street parking spaces provided, fully dimensioned. As a note, provide calculations on the number of spaces required (include the ratio used) and the number provided, including the number of spaces required and provided for the physically disabled. The drawing should indicate parking space locations for the physically disabled. A typical parking space detail shall be provided for both standard parking spaces and those for the physically disabled. For information on parking requirements for the physically disabled, refer to adopted building and accessibility codes of the City of Tucson. Design criteria for parking spaces and access are located in Section 7.4.6, Motor Vehicle Use Area Design Criteria, of the UDC.

Per UDC article 7 section 7.4.6.H.1, Barriers, such as post barricades or wheel stop curbing, are required in a vehicular use area to prevent vehicles from extending beyond the property lines, to prevent cars from damaging adjacent landscaping, walls, or buildings, overhanging adjacent sidewalk areas, and/or driving onto unimproved portions of the site.
Wheel stops must be provided at all parking areas where parking spaces abut a landscape area. There are 4 landscape areas on this project where the vehicles will overhang the landscape islands. Add wheel stops 2.5 feet from the edge of the landscape islands. Label and dimension the wheel stops.

22. 2-06.4.9.H.2.5.c - Show all loading zones, and vehicle maneuverability fully dimensioned, and access route, and provide, as a note, the number of loading spaces required, the number provided, and the design vehicle(I am not sure what is meant by the term design vehicle)

Per the calculations on the cover sheet 2 loading zones are to be provided on lot 22, yet there are no loading zones provided for this specific development. Clarify if loading zones are required or proposed for this Food Service on per this development package plan. (It is acknowledged that the calculations section on the cover sheet will have to be revised to reflect the lot combo and any revisions to not only the loading zone requirements but also the vehicle and bicycle parking requirements that are referenced for lot 22.)

23. 2-06.4.9.H.2.5.d - Show bicycle parking facilities fully dimensioned. For specifics, refer to Section 7.4.9, Bicycle Parking Design Criteria, of the UDC. Provide, as a note, calculations for short and long term bicycle spaces required and provided.

The location and type of long term bicycle parking could be verified on the site plan. The proposed development is required to provide a minimum of two (2) long term spaces. Draw, label, and indicate the type of facility that will be provided. If the facility is to be provided somewhere within the building indicate as such and provide detail drawings that demonstrate compliance for the long term facilities.

24. 2-06.4.9.M.1 and .2 - Grading Plan - 1. A conceptual grading plan is required on projects with significant topographic conditions. The PDSD Engineering Administrator or designee will determine the need for such a plan. 2. Concurrent Review. For all projects, grading plans may be included in the development package and will be reviewed concurrently.

The grading plan has been reviewed by zoning to ensure compliance with the site plan as presented. While the grading plan is in substantial compliance with the site plan as submitted for this initial review the site plan may have to be revised based on plans reviewer comments. Any changes that are necessary and made to the site plan must also be made to the grading and landscape plan sheets. Once zoning approves development package it is also approves the grading plan unless there remain outstanding issues with regards to compliance with site plan,

25. 2-06.4.9.O - All applicable building setback lines, such as erosion hazard, floodplain detention/retention basins, and zoning, including sight visibility triangles, will be shown.

Add an overall building setback from the Houghton Road right of way line.

26. 2-06.4.9.R - Show on-site pedestrian circulation and refuge utilizing location and the design criteria in Section 7-01.0.0, Pedestrian Access, of the Technical Standards Manual.

There does not appear to be any pedestrian connection for the sidewalk system around the building to the sidewalk system along the drive along the south of the proposed development. Provide a sidewalk (accessible) connection from the sidewalk along the drive to the sidewalk system adjacent tot eh building. Pedestrian connections may not be provided through the Drive-through lane.

27. 2-06.4.9.W - Indicate the locations and types of proposed signs (wall, free-standing, pedestal) to assure there are no conflicts with other requirements and that minimal locational requirements can be met. Indicate if there are any existing billboards on site. Compliance to the Sign Code, Chapter 3 of the Tucson Code is required.

If applicable draw and label any proposed freestanding ground mounted signs. Provide the size and type of the signs.

28. The calculations on the cover sheet will have to be revised to accurately represent the new lot once combined and the lot numbers should reflect what is recorded with the lot combo. All calculations need to be revised where applicable based on any revisions made to the site plan. In the calculations text block remove the words Land Use Code and replace with the words Unified Development Code.

29. Be aware that additional comments may be forthcoming based on the revisions that are made site plan, grading or landscape sheets.

END OF REVIEW
06/06/2013 LAITH ALSHAMI ENGINEERING REVIEW Denied Laith Alshami, Engineering and Floodplain Review, 06/06/2013,

SUBJECT: Panda Express at Home Town Center
DP13-0093, T15S, R15E, SECTION 26 & 35

RECEIVED: Development Package on May 24, 2013

The subject submittal has been reviewed and it can not be approved at this time. Address the following comments before review can continue. Prepare a detailed response that explains the revisions that were made and references the exact location in the Drainage Report and on the Development Package where the revisions were made:

Drainage Report:


1. Submit a drainage report that addresses onsite and offsite drainage and their impact on the subject site. Additionally, the report shall address the provision of runoff detention/retention and any other needed drainage facilities.
2. The drainage report shall address the basins and drainage facilities maintenance requirements and responsibility in details. Additionally, it shall provide the proposed drainage structure maintenance checklist that addresses all drainage structures including the detention/retention system.
3. Provide, in the report, a drainage exhibit that includes all existing and proposed drainage related information including scuppers, ground and water surface elevations, drainage structures, slopes, drainage arrows, dimensions, materials, etc.
1. Address, in the report, drainage facilities maintenance requirements and responsibility and specify that inspections shall be performed by a registered civil engineer annually and/or after every major storm. Additionally, provide a drainage facilities maintenance checklist to facilitate the required maintenance.
2. Explain in the text the building roof drainage direction and explain if sidewalk scuppers will be required. Show the roof drainage direction and provide the scuppers design calculations if proposed.
3. Address the maximum disposal time for the proposed retention basins based on the basins infiltration rates found in the Geotechnical Report. Verify, that the basins will completely empty out in about 12 hours or less as required by Section 3.5.1.3.a of the Stormwater Detention/Retention Manual. If bleeders are utilized to drain the retention basins, verify that they are adequate to drain them in the required time. Provide basins' inlet and outlet details to clarify the proposed structures and the location and elevation of the bleeders.
4. Address the required building setbacks from the retention and water harvesting basins based on the recommendation of the Geotechnical Report.
5. According to Section 3.3.5 "Low-Flow Channels" of the Stormwater Retention Manual, the proposed basins floors should be sloped to provide positive drainage especially if bleed pipes will be utilized to drain out the basins. The section recommends a minimum of 0.5% floor slope and 0.2% low flow concrete channel slope. Please be advised that based on the City's experience with similar projects, 0.5% slope was difficult to construct and maintain which resulted in nuisance ponding in the basins. Show the provided positive drainage on the drainage exhibit and provide the inlet and outlet proposed grades.
6. If there was a master drainage report for the entire subdivision that addressed all the required drainage information, submit a copy of the master report.
