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.

13. COMMENT: The previously approved development plan D05-0011 was approved as part of a multi-use development. The parking calculation was based on the use approved as part of the Rita Houghton Retail Center. The parking calculations must reflect the same information. Per the previously approved DP, the pad where the Fueling station is proposed was designed with a total of 73 parking spaces. Per the new plan only 45 spaces are to be provided. This may create a shortage of parking spaces overall but since the new retail building is substantially smaller that the previously approved retail use the parking may be what is required for the overall development.

Review D05-0011 and add the table from that plan to this plan. Revise the applicable data to current uses to ensure that the overall development site is compliant with the previously approved data or the data must be revised to current UDC requirements. Be aware that the D05-001 plan was approved under an older version of the Land Use Code. If the new parking calculations are to be used for the overall site the bicycle parking requirements must be updated as well. Additional comments may be forthcoming on this item based on the response. If you have specific questions regarding this comment feel free to call or email me.

(It is also assumed the cross parking is applicable to the site, and therefore 45 spaces were provided to ensure compliance with the parking requirements for the overall center.)
******************************************************************************************

2-06.4.9.I - Show all right-of-way dedications on or abutting the site and label. If the development package documents have been prepared in conjunction with a subdivision plat or is required as a condition of approval of a review process, such as a rezoning, street dedications in accordance with the Major Streets and Routes (MS&R) Plan may be required by these processes.
Projects bounded by streets having only a portion of the right-of-way width dedicated will be required to dedicate right-of-way, up to one-half, to complete the street width.
Should there be any proposed street or alley vacation, provide this information. If vacation has occurred, include the recording information.

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

2-06.4.9.J - If street dedication is not required or proposed and the project site is adjacent to a Major Street or Route, draw the Major Street right-of-way lines for those streets. (Add the MS&R future sidewalk, right-of-way lines, sight visibility triangles, etc.)

15. COMMENT: if applicable add the 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.

2-06.4.9.M.2 - Concurrent Review. For all projects, grading plans may be included in the development package and will be reviewed concurrently.

16. COMMENT: The grading plan has been reviewed concurrently with the DP site plan. The grading plan will be approved as part of the Development Package. Any changes that are made to the site plan as a result of reviewer comments must also be made accordingly to grading and landscape sheets.
******************************************************************************************

2-06.4.9.Q - Provide the square footage and the height of each commercial, industrial, or business structure and the specific use proposed within the footprint of the building(s).

17. COMMENT: Label on sheet five (5) the information as noted in the standard above.

******************************************************************************************

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.

18. COMMENT: A minimum four (4) foot wide concrete sidewalks must be provided around the kiosk and other buildings. The sidewalk shall be physically separated from the any vehicular use areas by either constructing a raised concrete sidewalk or if the sidewalk is to be flush post barricades a minimum of five (5) feet on center. Per the site plan it appears that a minimum of five (5) feet is proposed for the pedestrian area. What is not clear is the physical separation. Demonstrate how the physical separation is to be provided. See Technical Standards section 4.2.

The portion of the pedestrian area depicted on the plans from the accessible aisle to the edge of the PAAL along the south must be constructed of concrete cement. Clarify if there is an accessible ramp at the sidewalk to the south. If an accessible ramp is needed at both ends of the crosswalk connecting the fuel station to the south building area draw and label the access ramps and label the slopes.

Per Technical Standards section 7-01.3.3.A - .C and section 4.1.A address the following items.

A. A pedestrian connection is required to the refuse location; demonstrate compliance with Technical standards section 7-01.3.3.B.

B. At least one sidewalk is required to a project from each street on which the project has frontage, unless there is no vehicular access from a street because of a physical barrier, such as a drainageway or an unbroken security barrier (e.g., a wall or fence). The sidewalk should be located to minimize any conflict with vehicular access to the project; demonstrate compliance with the sidewalk requirements to each street frontage.

For additional information on pedestrian circulation requirements see Technical Standards Section 7-0.
******************************************************************************************

2-06.4.9.X - Show compliance with landscaping and screening requirements by locations, material descriptions, and dimensions.

City staff may periodically inspect drainage facilities to verify that scheduled and unscheduled maintenance activities are being performed adequately. Owner(s) agree to reimburse City for any and all costs associated with maintaining drainage facilities, should City find owner(s) deficient in their obligation to adequately operate and maintain their facilities."
3) Tech Man Sec.2-01.4.C: General Grading and Paving Note 29 should be updated to include that an as-built is also required to be submitted prior to final grading inspections.
