2-06.4.7 - General Notes
The following general notes are required. Additional notes specific to each plan are required where applicable.

2-06.4.7.A - Zoning and Land Use Notes

2-06.4.7.A.1 - List as a general note: "Existing zoning is ____."

06. COMMENT: The zoning as noted on the cover sheet is correct based on the current zoning of the property. However in order to have a Automotive Service Major (Brake Masters) use on this property a rezoning to a minimum of C-2 will be required. The zoning note will have to be revised once the rezoning has been completed.
******************************************************************************************

2-06.4.7.A.3 - If the plan/plat has been prepared in conjunction with a rezoning application, add the following note next to the existing zoning note: "Proposed zoning is ____." List the applicable rezoning file number and conditions of approval. Also place the C9-__-__ (if applicable) and the plan/plat file numbers in the lower right corner of each sheet.

2-06.4.7.A.6.a - List additional applications and overlays, by case number (if applicable), in lower right corner of each sheet. As a general note provide the type of application processed or overlays applicable, a statement that the project meets the criteria/conditions of the additional application or overlay, the case number, date of approval, what was approved, and the conditions of approval, if any.

07. COMMENT: At this time Zoning is assuming that the owner / developer will apply for a rezoning of the C-1 zone portion of the lot to be developed. Currently the lot has a split zone of C-1 and I-2. The rezoning case number will have to be listed in the lower right corner of all plan sheets, conditions of rezoning will have to be listed on the plans, and copies of the conditions of rezoning document will have to be submitted with the DP.

As noted in comment one (1), zoning has done a complete DP review with the assumption that a rezoning of the property will be processed. The overall design and information as required by AM 2-06 and applicable technical standards will not change as a result of the rezoning. However the conditions of rezoning will have to be addressed and compliance with the conditions of rezoning will have to be demonstrated on the DP. No additional review of this DP will be done until the rezoning process has been completed or conditions of rezoning are authorized. List each applicable UDC section number for each overlay general note that applies to this development, SZC -5.3 and AEZ, 5.6. (This property is not adjacent to the Old Vail or Houghton Road right of way so the requirements of the MS&R and Gateway Corridor do not apply.)
******************************************************************************************

2-06.4.7.A.4 - Identify the existing and proposed use of the property as classified per the UDC. List all UDC sections applicable to the proposed uses.

08. COMMENT: The proposed use listed on the cover sheet is incorrect. The Brake Service use is considered an Automotive Major use and is not allowed in the C-1 Zone. (A Special Exception cannot be processed for the proposed use.) If the rezoning is processed successfully, revise the use note as specified in the UDC and include the applicable Use Specific Standard i.e., "Automotive Service Major subject to UDC section 4.9.13." Correct any UDC development criteria that were listed under the C-1 to the C-2 criteria.
******************************************************************************************

2-06.4.7.A.6 - If a plan or plat is prepared in conjunction with other applications or overlays or the parcel being developed is subject to conditions of an application processed previously, additional information must be added to the plan. Such applications and overlays include, but are not limited to: annexations; rezonings; special exceptions; Board of Adjustment variances; Design Development Options; Technical Standard Modification Request; overlays (Airport Environs Zone, Environmental Resource Zone, Gateway Corridor Zone, Hillside Development Zone, Historic Preservation Zone, Major Streets and Routes, Rio Nuevo District, Scenic Corridor Zone, WASH); Modification of Development Regulations through the Downtown Area Infill Incentive District or Rio Nuevo District; Downtown Heritage Incentive Zone; or, Design Review Board. Provide the following information on the plan.

09. COMMENT: As noted in comment seven (7), the property will have to be rezoned, ensure that all information relevant to the rezoning such as general notes, rezoning case number and conditions of rezoning are added to the DP cover sheet.

Houghton Town Center is subject to compliance with the SCZ overlay requirements. Draw and label the 400 foot scenic corridor line that crosses the property. A copy of the Scenic corridor sheet(s) that must be updated with each development in the Houghton Town Center must be included in the DP as one of the sheets. List the SCZ in the sheet index and paginate the sheet numbers as necessary. The SCZ sheets are part of the original development and can be obtained from SBBL. Revised view sheds must be drawn and labeled on the SZC sheet(s).

Houghton Town Center is also within the David Monthan AEZ Paddle. The subject property is within the NCDA, ADC-3 and Vicinity overlays of the DM AEZ. List as general note that the site has been designed to comply with the requirements of the DM AEZ.
******************************************************************************************

2-06.4.7.A.8 - For development package documents provide:

2-06.4.7.A.8.a - Floor area for each building;

10. COMMENT: Remove the words "non-residential" from the floor area note on the cover sheet. Remove the lot coverage
******************************************************************************************

2-06.4.7.E.1.a - The following notes will be placed on all plans/plats.

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. 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.

11. COMMENT: After reviewing the recorded plat it does not appear that any easements were recorded over the parcel as shown on the DP site plan; however there has been a lot of "lot reconfigurations" occurring over the development site as a whole. If as a result of these lot reconfigurations easements have been recorded, draw, dimension, and label the purpose of the easement.
******************************************************************************************

2-06.4.8.C - The following information regarding existing private or public right-of-way adjacent to or within the site shall be provided: the name, right-of-way width, recordation data, type and dimensioned width of paving, curbs, curb cuts, and sidewalks.

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.

13. COMMENT: Draw the zoning boundary line that splits the property. The line shall be a different line type to differentiate the purpose of the line.
******************************************************************************************

2-06.4.9.H.5.a - Show all motor vehicle off-street parking spaces provided, fully dimensioned.

16. COMMENT: Add dimensioned detail drawings of the specific Bicycle Parking Facilities as proposed on the plan. The location of the long term facility appears to be in area that is away from the building and secluded from view. It is also in area that does not include any lighting for security. It recommended that the long term facility be located close to next to the building that provides the lighting and a more visible and secure area.
******************************************************************************************

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.

17. COMMENT: If applicable add the easement information as noted by the standard above.
******************************************************************************************

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.
