Engineering Division does not recommend approval of the Development Plan Package at this time. This review falls under the Unified Development Code (UDC), Administration Manual (AM) and Technical Standards Manual (TSM). Refer to the following link for further clarification: http://www.amlegal.com/nxt/gateway.dll/Arizona/tucson_az_udc/administrativemanual?f=templates$fn=default.htm$3.0$vid=amlegal:tucson_udc_az The following items need to be addressed: SITE PLAN: 1) AM Sec.2-06.4.3: The relevant Development Plan Package case number (DP14-0147) may be added to the lower right hand corner of the plan on all sheets. 2) AM Sec.2-06.4.3: Revise the development plan package to include the appropriate case numbers for the Rio Nuevo District (RND) and Downtown Area Infill Incentive District (IID) Overlay reviews. Provide the appropriate case numbers adjacent to the title block on each sheet. 3) AM Sec.2-06.4.7.A.6: Revise the development plan package to clarify General Note 20 and the reference to UDC Sec.2.8.10. Revise the Note to state; "THIS PROJECT IS DESIGNED TO MEET THE OVERLAY ZONE(S) CRITERIA UDC ARTICLE 5.11 RIO NUEVO (RND), AND ARTICLE 5.12 DOWNTOWN AREA INFILL INCENTIVE DISTRICT (IID)." 4) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.A: Revise the development plan package to either provided an approved lot combination from Zoning or a recorded cross access cross parking agreement for the separate lots. 5) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.H: PDSD Engineering did not review all right-of-way improvements for conformance with TSM Sec.10-01 since the plan was a full electronic review and a copy was provided to TDOT Permits and Codes for their review. Ensure that all TDOT comments have been addressed prior to resubmittal. Minimum right-of-way comments follow. 6) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.H.1: Revise the development plan package to label the required minimum 25-foot radii at the intersection of Arizona Ave and Broadway Blvd per TSM Sec.10-01.3.2.C and Figure 6. If the project is proposing to reduce the radii a TSMR application with fee will be required. 7) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.H.1: Revise the development plan package to provide the required 18-foot radii at all driveway entrances to existing local streets (Arizona Avenue and 5th Avenue). If the project is proposing to reduce the radii a TSMR application with fee will be required. 8) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.H.1: Revise the development plan package to verify conformance with handicap accessibility for the existing sidewalk within the public right-of-way. Provide existing longitudinal and cross slopes to ensure maximum 2% or provide written approval from TDOT Permits and Codes that the existing sidewalk meets accessibility requirements. It may be necessary that if the inspectors find the sidewalks to be out of conformance during the construction of the project they will have to be replaced so ensuring that they meet the accessibility requirements now is highly advisable. 9) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.H.1: Revise the development plan package to provide a dimension for all proposed curb cuts that are to be closed off. Clearly show that the lengths of the existing curb cuts that are to be fully closed off with curbing as labeled by the referenced Keynote. 10) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.H.2: Revise the development plan package to label and dimension the SVTs for the driveway entrance to 5th Avenue, refer to TSM Sec.10-01.5.3 for line of sight matrix. 11) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.H.2: Revise the development plan package to correctly dimension the 20-foot stem side of all SVTs that are shown on the plan. If a smaller dimension is proposed a TSMR application with fee will be required to reduce the dimension. 12) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.H.5.a: Revise the development plan package to label and dimension the 2-foot setback from the proposed access lane and any vertical structure over 6-inches per UDC Section 7.4.6.F.2.b. Specifically the access lane adjacent to the existing walk in cooler and existing bollards shown along the north side of the access lane. 13) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.H.5.a: Revise the development plan package to clearly label the direction of travel for the access lane. As dimensioned it appears that the access lane functions as a one-way drive. Provide directional arrows and signage to clearly show vehicular flow. 14) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.H.5.a: Revise the development plan package to clearly label and dimension the minimum height clearance of the building overhang that extends out over the proposed access lane. Per UDC Sec.7.4.6.E.2 the minimum height clearance along access lanes and PAALs is 15 feet and must be clearly dimensioned in plan view or within Keynote #23. 15) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.H.5.a: Revise the development plan package to provide a typical vehicle parking space detail for both standard and the physically disabled spaces. 16) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.H.5.a: Revise the development plan package to label and dimension the 2-foot setback from the proposed parking spaces and any vertical structure over 6-inches per UDC Section 7.4.6.F.2.b. specifically the proposed parking spaces within the parking garage that are adjacent to the structural columns. 17) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.H.5.a: Revise the development plan package to clearly label and dimension the required 4-foot pedestrian access areas located adjacent to the handicap parking spaces and the elevator shafts and associated walls. The dimensions on the parking garage details should provide for the 2.5-foot overhang at the wheel stops and maintain the minimum 4-foot clear pedestrian access widths. 18) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.H.5.a: Revise the development plan package to correct the numerous dimensions for the 2.5 foot over hang at the wheel stops. 2 specific areas are on Sheet 5 Floor 5 and 5.5. One shows the dimension as 4.5 feet and the other has the 2.5 foot dimension within the parking space, clarify. 19) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.I: Revise the development plan package to provide the Improvement Plan # in plan view for the existing Sun-Link tracks within the right-of-way of the adjacent streets. Provide approval from TDOT for the track access permit that is required when any work is being proposed along the streetcar route. The permits can be obtained from TDOT Permits and Codes 20) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.O: Provide approval from the City of Tucson Real Estate Office with the approved temporary revocable easement for the proposed building overhang shown within the right-of-way of Broadway Blvd. 21) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.R: Revise the development plan package to include a sidewalk connection from the proposed buildings to all other buildings located onsite. Per TSM Section 7-01.3.3.B the areas within the development which must be connected include, but are not limited to, all buildings, all bicycle and vehicle parking areas, all recreation areas, all dumpster areas, and all other common use areas. 22) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.R: Revise the development plan package to label and dimension the required sidewalk from the proposed hotel to the existing Arizona Avenue right-of-way. 23) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.R: Revise the development plan package to label and dimension the minimum width of the sidewalk along the north side of the building. Per Keynote #27 it states to see the plan for width; however these dimensions could not be located at all required areas to ensure minimum width dimensions. 24) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.R: Refer to comments from Ron Brown, RA Structural Plans Examiner for all handicap accessibility comments that may be associated with this project. 25) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.S: Revise the development plan package to include a new sidewalk handicap access ramp along both sides of the access lane and 5th Ave. Per the proposed plan it appears per the Keynote only the south side ramp has been proposed however a ramp will be required along both sides for handicap accessibility. 26) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.S: Revise the development plan package to provide the required sidewalk along the public right-of-way of Arizona Avenue. Per TSM Sec.10-01.2.7.A and Sec.10-01.4.1.A.1.a the new sidewalk is required along the frontage of the right-of-way and is required to be a minimum of 5-feet. 27) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.S: Revise the development plan package to clearly label the minimum 6-foot width requirement for the sidewalk within the Broadway Blvd right-of-way. Per plan view there is an area that has a proposed landscape planter adjacent to 2 existing light poles that reduces the required 6-foot width, revise. 28) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.T: PDSD Engineering did not review the refuse enclosures for conformance with TSM Sec.8-01 since the plan was a full electronic review and a copy was provided to Environmental Services for their review. Ensure that all ES comments have been addressed prior to resubmittal. Clearly label the refuse truck access as it relates to the proposed trash compactor.

| 09/15/2014 | PGEHLEN1 | COT NON-DSD | ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES | Reqs Change | The Development Package has been reviewed on behalf of Environmental Services and the following will need to be addressed on the resubmittal: 1. Add a general note specifying the method of collection and the frequency. State the volume of the roll off compactor and the front loading recycle container in cubic feet. The front loading recycling container may not exceed 4 cubic yards for ease of rolling. 2. Show the backing movements required for the collection vehicle to service the compactor using the turning templates from TSM Section 8. The service vehicle must approach in line with the compactor. 3. In order for the recycling container to be able to rolled into Arizona Street for servicing, the surface must be level and smooth, sloping at no more than 0.2%. The plan states the existing brick pavement is to remain on Arizona Street. Show how the grades will be flat and the surface smooth where the recycling container is to roll into Arizona Street. It appears the brick pavers will need to be replaced with concrete where the containers are to be rolled out. A concrete apron will also need to be provided for the front of the service vehicle to maneuver. The concrete will need to be 6 inches thick with rebar reinforcement per the Figures in TSM Section 8. 4. Provide on the plans a detail of the trash compactor and storage area. Show the vertical clearance height from floor to ceiling, and from compactor dock to ceiling. 5. Provide on the plans a detail of the recycling enclosure, in particular the clearances between it and the container. 6. Provide information on the gates to both enclosures and how they open.

| 09/16/2014 | GARY WITTWER | COT NON-DSD | TDOT | Reqs Change | Trish, I do not see a spot to add comments from TDOT in permits plus, so will send comment to you: 1. Need more information on plant key. Need botanical names, be sure the plants are on the approved plant list. No Astroturf in ROW. 2. I am concerned about the existing Honey Mesquite and the modern street car line. These trees can get very big. Catenary line and supports are in the area. You must stay a min. of 10' away from the lines and poles with all vegetation. 3. I think the new Streetscape Manual would ask for Concrete paving with brick bands. Please include paving key on next submittal. Please review Streetscape Manual - talk with Frank Dillion at DSD. 4. Please identify tree grates, benches etc on next submittal. Need color and Manuf. 5. Please submit an irrigation plan 6. The attached notes must be on the landscape plans. 7. Contractor will need a ROW Excavation permit. Great project. Gary |
