11/27/2018 SBEASLE1 OTHER AGENCIES TUCSON AIRPORT AUTHORITY Approved The applicant for DP18-0299, Rio Madera Apt – 1st Submittal, contacted me regarding my comment letter on the project. I have attached a copy of the comment letter I submitted. They communicated to me that they believed the Avigation Easement and Airport Disclosure portion of the Avigation Easement Policy was not applicable to the project since the project is not a rezoning or changing a plan designation. I have attached a revised comment letter from TAA for this project submittal and a copy of the TAA Avigation Easement Policy document. I understand the comment period for the 1st submittal of this project closed on October 17th.

Please carefully review my comment letter and consider requiring the applicant to incorporate the two additional notes and associated instructions I have identified for City of Tucson. Please let me know if you have any questions or need any additional information.

Thank you,

RE: DP18-0229 Rio Madera Apts / 1st Submittal, Received September 19, 2018

Dear Ms. Lee,

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on DP18-0229, Rio Madera Apts; 1st Submittal, a development package application for an approximately 1.03 acre site, located northeast of the intersection of East Minorka Road and South Park Avenue. The land use is commercial with the proposed development being multifamily dwelling units.

This site is within the Tucson International Airport avigation easement requirements and public disclosure area, FAA traffic pattern airspace, and FAA Part 77 airspace.

This revised comment letter supersedes the previous comment letter which the Tucson Airport Authority submitted on 10/2/2018.

The Tucson Airport Authority conditionally approves the subject request contingent upon the following condition of approval, as noted below. This condition shall be identified in the general notes of the revised development plan.

Condition of approval:

1. “According to the FAA Notice Criteria Tool, this project is located in proximity to a navigation facility and could impact navigation signal reception. The applicant shall file Form 7460 with the FAA at least 45 days before construction activities begin for the project. It is highly recommended that the applicant file earlier than 45 days to provide the applicant with sufficient time to respond to any concerns which are identified by the FAA. Any cranes used which are used must also be identified with Form 7460. Please file Form 7460 at https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external/portal.jsp”

Although this project does not propose a change in plan designation or zoning the Tucson Airport Authority highly recommends the City of Tucson consider requiring the applicant to add the two following notes into the general notes of the revised development plans. This project is located approximately 1 mile north of Tucson International Airport and is within FAA traffic pattern airspace, an area which would be subject to aircraft overflight and noise due to being in close proximity to Tucson International Airport.

The first proposed note would provide a means of assuring that future owners and tenants of the property are aware they are living near an airport and further assures the continued right of the City of Tucson, Tucson Airport Authority, and all persons lawfully utilizing the Tucson International Airport the right to utilize the airspace above or near the property. This would be accomplished through requiring the property owner to record the Avigation Easement. The second proposed note is meant to be a second method of notification, but only for residential related uses, that future property owners and tenants are living near an airport. The Tucson Airport Authority believes these two proposed notes help to support the City of Tucson Airport Environs Overlay Zone and supports Plan Tucson – Regional and Global Positioning policy 4 (RG-4).

1. "That prior to the City's approval of any construction permit for a permanent building, the property owner shall record the Avigation Easement which discloses the existence, and operational characteristics of the Tucson International Airport to future owners or tenants of the property and further conveys the right to the public to lawfully use the airspace above the property. The Avigation Easement shall be recorded in a manner with the Pima County recorder which shall document it as having title liability. The content of such documents shall be according to the form and instructions provided."

The current property owner or person authorized to sign on behalf of the current property owner shall complete, sign, and record the Avigation Easement. Please record the Avigation Easement with the Pima County Recorder’s Office. Once the Avigation Easement is recorded please send a complete copy of the recorded easement document to Tucson Airport Authority by either email (send to srobidoux@flytucson.com) or to the mailing address provided below.

2. “The developer shall provide the Airport Disclosure Statement form, at time of sale, to the new property owners with new unit purchases. In the event the development of any residential uses does not involve the sale of new units, but is instead offering rental residential units to the public, the new tenant of the rental unit shall be provided a copy of the Airport Disclosure Statement form. The intent of the Airport Disclosure Statement form is to educate and notify the new residents that they are living near an airport. The content of such documents shall be according to the form and instructions provided.”

The new property owner or new tenant shall forward a signed copy of the Airport Disclosure Statement form to the Tucson Airport Authority, using the mailing address provided below.

FROM: Steve Shields
Section Manager

PROJECT: Rio Mercado - Minorka Apartments, 5489 S Park Ave
Development Package (2nd Review)
DP18-0229

TRANSMITTAL DATE: December 21, 2018

DUE DATE: December 24, 2018

COMMENTS: Please resubmit revised drawings and any redlined plans along with a detailed response letter, which states how all Zoning Review Section comments were addressed.

This plan has been reviewed for compliance with the Unified Development Code (UDC) Administrative Manual (AM) Section 2-06. Also compliance with applicable development criteria for the proposed use as listed in the City of Tucson Uniform Development Code (UDC) and the UDC Technical Standards Manual (TSM).

Section 3.3.3.G.5.c UDC, An applicant has one year from the date of application to obtain approval of a site plan that complies with zoning and other development requirements in effect at the time of application, unless an ordinance adopted by Mayor and Council during this period states otherwise. A site plan application that has been in review for a period of one year and has not yet been approved is considered denied. To continue the review of a site plan for the property, a new site plan must be submitted that complies with regulations in effect at the time of re-submittal. The new submittal initiates a new one-year review period. One year Expiration date is September 18, 2019.

1. This comment was not fully addressed. The setback was not corrected for Minorka Rd. 2-06.4.9.O - Correct setback lines on sheet 3. Park Ave is a Major Street and Route and is subject to MS&R setbacks. Minorka Rd is also subject to MS&R setbacks. The correct setback on Park Ave is 21' as measured from the back of future curb. The current design only includes a 20' setback and must be adjusted. The correct setback on Minorka Rd is 23' as measured from the outside edge of the adjacent travel lane.

2. This comment was not addressed. Per TSM Section 7-01.4.1.A 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). At the time of this review the requirement for a sidewalk along Minorka has not been resolved. In either case a sidewalk is still required to run from both buildings to at least the property line along Minorka. 2-06.4.9.R - At least one sidewalk is required to a project from each street on which the project has frontage. The sidewalk should be located to minimize any conflict with vehicular access to the project. A sidewalk is required from Minorka Rd to the development.

3. At the time of this review the requirement for a sidewalk along Minorka has not been resolved. 2-06.4.9.S - Show existing or proposed pedestrian circulation along abutting rights-of-way. Such sidewalks must comply with accessibility requirements for the physically disabled and the design criteria in Section 10-01.0.0, Street Technical Standards, of the Technical Standards Manual.


If you have any questions about this transmittal, please contact me at Steve.Shields@tucsonaz.gov or (520) 837-4956.

RESUBMITTAL OF THE FOLLOWING IS REQUIRED: Revised development package.
