If it is intended to connect to an offsite feature, such as an exiting trail, wash, sidewalk, road, commercial or residential development, etc., so indicate. If the trail or path is to be dedicated, indicate the method of dedication.

COMMENT: If this requirement is applicable to this site add the required notes as stated above by this standard. Verify with COT Parks and Recreation to see if this area is within the Ten Year Strategic Plan or any applicable Linear Park plan.

2-06.4.7.F.2 - If a new trail or path will be constructed, add the following note, as appropriate: "All new onsite and offsite trails or paths constructed in conjunction with this project will be constructed in accordance with approved plans. Construction plans will be subject to the review and approval of the city's Parks and Recreation Department, and, if requested, Pima County Natural Resources, Parks and Recreation."

COMMENT: If applicable to this development, add the note as noted above by this standard.

2-06.4.8.B - All easements shall be drawn on the plan. The recordation information, location, width, and purpose of all easements on site will be stated.

COMMENT: It is requested that a separate or additional sheet be included that depicts clearly in a surveyable manner the NUOS areas. The plans submitted depict the NUOS in Phases. It is not clear if this development is to be phased or are the NUOS areas depicted in phases for some other purpose. The development is to be phased, the tentative plat must be revised to depict the phasing, phase calculations, and access requirements. Clarify.

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 or more zoning classifications, as each may have different requirements.

COMMENT: On sheet one (1) label the zoning classifications (Cot and Pima County) adjacent to the subdivision boundary.

2-06.4.9.G - If the project is to be phased, provide calculations, setbacks, etc., to indicate that each phase complies with all requirements as a separate entity. Show phase lines on the drawing. Show and label any temporary improvements that may be needed to make the site function for each phase as one entity. If such temporary improvements are off the site of the phase under consideration, a temporary easement or other legal documentation to assure legal use of the property is required. Note recording information.

COMMENT: As noted in the NUOS comment above, provide the phasing information as noted above in this standard if the intent is to phase the development.

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.
Please be aware that, if a new street is created (for other than for subdivisions) which divides the property into two or more lots, a subdivision plat is required (refer to the definition of subdivision in Section 11.4.20 of the UDC).

COMMENT: Clarify what a multi-use lane will be used for, parking, bicycle lane, pedestrian jogging path?

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: Sight visibility triangles must be drawn as required by the standard as noted above. See PDSD Engineering Reviewer comments related to this standard.

2-06.4.9.H.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.

COMMENT: Depict on the plan how street parking would be provided. Keep in mind that each parking space on the street must be a minimum of 23 feet in length unless it is immediately adjacent to a driveway. The plan should show a few areas with typical on-street parking spaces. (It is acknowledged that the driveways may not be placed on the same side at each lot.)

The plan also depicts parking spaces near or adjacent to Common areas. Add dimensioned detail drawings demonstrating compliance with parking lot design per UDC section 7.4.6 or add a note as "typical" and dimension a standard and handicapped parking space.

2-06.4.9.H.6 - If the project is phased, the phase under consideration shall be designed so those later phases are assured legal access. If such access is provided through the phase under consideration, public streets are required, or access easements must be delineated and dedicated for such use. If private easements are utilized, protective covenants establishing the right of access, maintenance and incorporation of future phases into this project are required.

COMMENT: If applicable provide the information as noted above by this standard.

2-06.4.9.K - Identify and provide dimensions, approximate areas in square footage, and purposes of any lots proposed for dedication (such as open spaces, recreation areas, or natural areas) or for reservation for a public use (such as public parks, water facilities, or school sites).

COMMENT: Add the information as noted by the above standard.

2-06.4.9.L - All proposed easements (utility, sewer, drainage, access, etc.) are to be dimensioned and labeled as to their purposes and whether they will be public or private. The easements may have to be recorded and the recordation information added to the development package prior to approval.

COMMENT: Zoning could not verify that any of the potential easements such as PUE or 1 foot no access easements have been identified. Annotate on the plans sheets by dimension and note where there are applicable easements or use keynotes to identify the PUE (width) and one foot no access easements and any other type of easement not yet indentified.

2-06.4.9.M - Grading Plan

COMMENT: A grading plan was not submitted for review with the tentative plat. A separate grading plan application and review will be required.

2-06.4.9.M.3 - Tentative Plats - Non Concurrent Review. A separate grading plan may be submitted after the second resubmittal of the tentative plat; however, the grading plan cannot be approved unless it is conformance with an approved tentative plat.
Note: In the case of a tentative plat submitted in conjunction with a rezoning request, the tentative plat and grading plan cannot be approved until 30 days after adoption of the rezoning ordinance. See Section 3.5.3.K.6, Ordinance Effective Date, of the UDC.

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.

Rezoning Conditions Review:

Clarify with documentation from PDSD whether or not the change in the subdivision was considered a minor or major change. Also clarify if there has been any request to go before Mayor and Council for any change of conditions.

Address the following comments related to the Rezoning conditions per a separate response memo detailing how the rezoning conditions have been or will be complied with. (The following comments are more specific to some of the Zoning review purview.) It is acknowledged that compliance for some of the conditions of rezoning cannot be demonstrated on the tentative plat plan sheets. The response comments to the rezoning conditions should specify how and when they will be met, whether during construction, grading plan, or building plan submittal.

a. It appears that a condition was left off the list on sheet two of the tentative plat. Condition 33 should be the execution of potential claims condition. Condition 34 should now be the five years condition. Revise the list as required to include the added condition.

b. Condition 4: Provide the documentation that allows the access from the Rincon Knolls site to Maryann Cleveland Way over the State land. Explain if the parcel of land for the roadway has been sold to the developer of this project or has it been reserved as an access easement (perpetual?), clarify.

c. Condition 9: Zoning could not verify that Trail #5 on the tentative plat as required by condition 9. Explain which option will be used to provide the trail.

d. It does appear that the NUOS area has been clearly defined in a surveyable manner as required per condition

e. Zoning could verify how the neighborhoods numbered or defined. Rezoning condition 14 discusses a desert park between Neighborhoods 5 and 6. It is not clear on the plans where neighborhoods 5 and 6 are or any of the other named or numbered neighborhoods. Add the delineation and label each neighborhood if applicable to this revised TP.

f. On sheet 19 "Desert Tortoise Mitigation Plan" there is a note stating that the information on the sheet is from the project S06-125 dated 2007. Rezoning condition 28 states that a Desert Tortoise survey shall be completed prior to tentative plat approval. It is clear that a survey was done six to seven years ago. Clarify with the PDSD rezoning staff whether or not the survey must be redone based on the length of time of the previous survey.

See additional comments related to conditions of rezoning as it relates to each reviewer's review responsibility and review purview, i.e. engineering, traffic, landscape etc.

09/26/2013 LOREN MAKUS ENGINEERING REVIEW Denied 1. Show the sight visibility triangles for all applicable locations. Note that the entry road functions as a collector for SVT purposes. (AM 2-06.4.9.H.2 and TSM 10-01.5.2.B)
2. Revise the storm drains crossing public Street A to be RCP or provide copy of approval from TDOT as required by the Drainage Manual (TSM 4-04. 10.3.9)
3. Revise general note 18 to reference the correct Technical Standard: "No structure or vegetation shall be located or maintained so as to interfere with the sight visibility triangles in accordance with Section 10-01.5.0, Sight Visibility, of the Technical Standards Manual." (TSM 2-06.4.9.C.2)
4. Revise the ERR to provide the correct reference for the WASH ordinance watercourses on the project site. The Washes on the site were made subject to the WASH ordinance in the ordinance establishing original city zoning.
5. Revise the notes on the HDZ sheets to reference the correct sections and requirements of the UDC overlay zone. Since much of the site will be preserved as NUOS or NROS the calculation of ACS can be modified to address this. There is no doubt the requirements for the HDZ will be met, but the calculations and notes must be correct.
6. I recommend the hydraulic structure section call-outs provide direction to the relevant details on whichever sheets they appear.
7. Where concentrated discharges are directed to the adjacent property, show how the discharges will be in the same nature and volume as pre-developed conditions or provide documentation of permission from the owner of the impacted property allowing for an off-site drainage solution.
8. Provide longitudinal grades along streets to demonstrate the slopes meet the requirements of the Technical Standards.
9. Where adjacent pads grades are significantly different, provide details for the transition. For example, adjacent lots 267 and 268 have pad grades that are about 4 feet different.
10/01/2013 JANE DUARTE COT NON-DSD PARKS & RECREATION Reqs Change 1) Provide plans or documentation regarding compliance with rezoning condition 9, related to the Pantano River Park.

2) Revise the plans to provide the trail from the Atterbury Wash to the Pantano River (Pima County Trails System Master Plan) or a suitable alternative approved by the Parks and Recreation Department.

3) Contact Howard Dutt at the City of Tucson Parks and Recreation Department for additional details.

COMMENTS: Please make the following corrections or additions in the final plat.
1. The lines for the lot lines must be solid; the common areas must have solid lines as well.
2. Add the bearings for the lot lines and the curve data.
3. Add the dimensions and curve data for the street center lines.
4. Label all common areas and add the square footage.
5. All hatching, stippling, striping etc. must be removed in the final plat, unless another agency requires it. If so, all lettering must have the hatching, etc. cut away so it is legible.

10/01/2013 JOE LINVILLE LANDSCAPE REVIEW Reqs Change 1) Revise the ERR to indicate the Wash Ordinance is applicable on the site. Clarify if there will be any disturbance in the study areas. The regulated areas shall be identified on the plat in a surveyable manner (when not enclosed in a NUOS area). TSM 4-02.2.5


2) The Tortoise Mitigation proposal previously approved differs from the current tentative plat proposal. The rock wall barriers are not as extensive in the latest version and the bridge is no longer included for the northern wildlife corridor. Per condition 28, a Tortoise survey is required prior to tentative plat approval. Given the time elapsed and the significant obvious changes to the plat and mitigation plan, a new survey and revised mitigation plan is required. This should be prepared in consultation with a biologist.

3) Drainage and sewer improvements in the NUOS areas affect the calculations. These areas should be calculated as NROS. Per rezoning condition 10, NUOS shall be dedicated as a conservation easement and no encroachment is permitted.

4) Functional Open Space
Delineate the boundaries of the proposed functional open space on the tentative plat or site plan, whichever is applicable. Provide, by note on the plat, the required and proposed functional open space calculations. AM 2-06.5.3.C

5) Revise the plans to address rezoning conditions 9, 10, 13, 17, 25, 28, and 29. Provide explanations where necessary.
