11/30/2015 ROBERT SHERRY PLUMBING-COMMERCIAL REVIEW Reqs Change 1. An approved development plan is not to be used for construction of on-site utilities (e.g. water service to the buildings, building sewers connecting to the existing private sewer collection system, site lighting, or electrical service to the buildings). The on-site utilities may be constructed with a separate permit.
2. Where the finish floor elevation is less than 12 inches above the elevation of the next upstream manhole in the private sewer collection system, a backwater valve shall be installed in the building drain or branch of the building drain serving that floor. Identify the buildings requiring the installation of a backwater valve. Reference: Section 715.1, IPC 2012, as amended by the City of Tucson.
12/02/2015 LOREN MAKUS ENGINEERING REVIEW Reqs Change 1. Clarify the locations of the walls indicated by keynote 21. Some of the locations indicated appear to block pedestrian routes.
2. Check the prints for the landscape and hardscape sheets. The selected fonts on the printed sheets didn't render correctly.
3. Note that TDOT may require the drainage pipes into the right-of-way to be constructed of reinforced concrete. A Floodplain use permit will be required for the connection to the drainage channel.

12/03/2015 JOHN BEALL COT NON-DSD COMMUNITY PLANNING Approved Plan Tucson on the Future Growth Scenario Map identifies the project site as "Existing Neighborhoods." Existing neighborhoods are primarily developed and largely built-out residential neighborhoods and commercial districts in which minimal new development and redevelopment is expected in the next several decades. The goal is to maintain the character of these neighborhoods, while accommodating some new development and redevelopment and encouraging reinvestment and new services and amenities that contribute further to neighborhood stability. Plan Tucson supports infill and redevelopment projects that reflect sensitivity to site and neighborhood conditions and adhere to relevant site and architectural guidelines.

The South Pantano Area Plan (SPAP) encourages the development of a variety of housing types and the compatibly of new development with existing land uses. The SPAP residential sub-goal directs new development to encourage the development of a variety of housing types including single-family detached units, duplexes, apartments, condominiums, townhouses, and mobile homes. This development should preserve the integrity of established neighborhoods, promote infill of vacant land where adequate streets and utilities are available, and ensure the compatibility of new residential development with existing land uses.

Project in compliance with Plan Tucson and the South Pantano Area Plan.

On November 2, 2015 a minor change to the Preliminary Development Plan, for SE-03-08 Esperanza En Escalante - Calle Polar, was approved. This minor change was to remove the condition requiring a southbound deceleration lane along Calle Polar.
