15. COMMENT: Draw, label and dimension there required sight visibility triangles. See the engineering comments for additional info on SVT's.
******************************************************************************************

2-06.4.9.H.5 - If utilizing parking area access lanes (PAALs), they shall be designed in accordance with Section 7.4.6, Motor Vehicle Use Area Design Criteria, of the UDC.

16. COMMENT: Dimension the width of the parking space along the northeast corner of the standalone parking lot. The space appears to be next to a building. The space must be 10 feet in width.

Dimension the width of the overall vehicle use area of the standalone parking lot between the building to the south and the building to the north. See the red-lines on sheet 2.
******************************************************************************************

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.

17. COMMENT: The parking calculations reflect the correct number required based on a Shopping center calculation with a ratio of 1/300 if the development meets the definition of a shopping center. Unfortunately based on the uses listed, the definition criteria cannot be met.

The total number of required spaces for a multiple or mixed use development is 90% of the sum of the amount required for each separate principal use in Section 7.4.4.B, Minimum Number of Motor Vehicle Spaces Required. The square footage of Entertainment, Food Service (i.e., restaurants), and/or Alcoholic Beverage Service (i.e., bars) uses may not be included in the calculation for multiple or mixed use parking requirements. The parking requirements for these uses are calculated individually in accordance with Section 7.4.4.B, Minimum Number of Motor Vehicle Spaces Required.

After reviewing the proposed uses and square footage of each use the number of required vehicle parking for this development totals to 95 spaces. Of the 95 spaces, 24 spaces are eligible for the reduction, 24x 90% = 22.6 or 23 spaces required. The spaces for the food service cannot be included for the reduction. A Board of Adjustment variance will be required for the number of vehicle parking spaces that cannot be provided.

UDC Section 7.4.6.1B.1.a - Off-Site Parking: Off-site parking is permitted under the following conditions.
For projects outside the Downtown Parking District, off-site parking must be located within 600 feet of the project site. The distance of the accessible pedestrian path to get to the property is greater than 600 feet. A Board of Adjustment variance is required to approve a distance of 626'-7".

The GIID cannot be utilized if all the criteria of the IID cannot be met. For instance the parking section 5.12.4.C.3.c.2 cannot be used because there is no COT parking lot within a ΒΌ mile (1320 feet) of the building site. Per discussion with the ZA staff determination a MDR cannot be used to modify this requirement. The storage use is not one of the GIID uses listed in UDC section 5.12.4.D.1. Therefore the Storage use is not a use that cane approved under the GIID.

The IPP also appears to be an option that cannot be supported. UDC Section 7.4.5.A.3.g - Exception. Restaurants and bars (Food Service and Alcoholic Beverage Service uses) are not eligible to request an IPP unless the restaurant or bar is within a multiple or mixed use development and the applicant provides evidence that motor vehicle parking is provided at one space per 100 square feet gross floor area and outdoor seating area for restaurants and one space per 50 square feet gross floor area for bars during peak use times.
******************************************************************************************

2-06.4.9.H.5.b - If any of the required parking is located off-site as permitted by the UDC, a drawing of that parking area is to be provided, together with the city's required parking agreement (include a copy of the lease agreement if applicable) must be provided. Please remember that in these situations, if the off-site parking location is a new parking area, it must comply with all parking area requirements and must be allowed as a principal use by the zoning classification of that property. If the off-site parking area location is an existing parking lot, the parking spaces utilized for the proposed land use must be non-required parking for the existing use for which the parking area was established.

18. COMMENT: A Lease and Parking agreement executed by the owner and approved and signed by the PDSD Director or Designee will be required prior to final approval of the DP package. See the attached OFF-STREET VEHICLE PARKING INFORAMTION PACKET.
******************************************************************************************

2-06.4.9.H.5.c - Show all loading zones, vehicle maneuverability fully dimensioned, and access route. Provide as a note the number of loading spaces required, the number provided, whether the loading space is a Type A or B as provided in UDC Section 7.5.4.

19. COMMENT: One (1) type "A" loading space is required for the restaurant use with a square footage greater than 5,000 SF. The Food Service use (Restaurant) is listed as 7,056 SF, one 12'x35' loading zone is required. Demonstrate maneuverability into and out of the loading zone and list the number of required and provided loading zones as in the zoning calculations.
******************************************************************************************

2-06.4.9.H.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.

21. COMMENT: Add the information related to the future MS&R for 6th Avenue based on the current adopted MS&R map.
******************************************************************************************

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.

22. COMMENT: While I'm not sure whether or not an easement is required or other form of documentation for the encroachment of the buildings onto the parking lot site, clarify if there is a no build easement or any other proposed easements on either site.
******************************************************************************************

2-06.4.9.M - Grading Plan

2-06.4.9.M.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.

23. COMMENT: It is not clear if a grading plan is or has been required by the Engineering review section. There was no grading plan included in the DP and therefore no grading review has been made by zoning as it relates to the zoning review purview. Additional comments could be forthcoming if it is found that a grading plan is required.
