| 12/18/2007 | DAVID RIVERA | ZONING | REVIEW | Denied | CDRC TRANSMITTAL FROM: Steve Shields Lead Planner DSD Zoning Review Section PROJECT: DSMR-DS07-53 9855 E. Speedway Blvd. Development Standard Modification (DSMR) Request Transmittal date: December 18, 2007 COMMENTS: Denied 1. Zoning cannot support the proposed Development Standard Modification Request (DSMR) for Development Standard (DS) Sections, 2-08.4.1.B & C. The plans do not clearly indicated how the DS has been modified, i.e. where the sidewalks have been relocated to, widths have been modified, change in composition of sidewalk etc. 2. The sidewalks required per DS 2-08.4.1.B & C have been eliminated from the plan therefore a variance is required. 3. The proposed pedestrian refuge areas shown on the plan do not meet the minimum requirements of DS 3-05.2.2.B.1. 4. The proposed pedestrian circulation/accessible route shown to connect building 10 to the pedestrian circulation/accessible route along the right-of-way (ROW) is not acceptable as it encroaches into a required landscape buffer yard. Zoning recommends that the pedestrian circulation/accessible route that is required from the ROW to the development be relocated so that it parallels the main entrance PAAL, preferably on both sides of the PAAL, and then connects to the remaining pedestrian circulation/accessible route 5. The continuous pedestrian circulation/accessible route that is required to connect all buildings on site, DS2-08.3.1 would be very difficult for someone to navigate, i.e. someone entering from the ROW and wanting to get to building 12 would most likely choose to use the parking area access lane (PAAL) instead of the proposed pedestrian circulation/accessible route that would take them around building 10 past the pool and back around building 9. If you have any questions about this transmittal, please call Steve Shields, (520) 837-4956. |

Speedway Blvd, Dev. Stds. Modification Review (DSMR) December 21,2007 Staff offers the following comments: Staff supports a site design that considers minimizing heat island effects (heat sink), which are in part generated by surface materials such as asphalt and concrete. The DSMR proposes to eliminate selected sidewalk sections to reduce heat sink, while increasing ground area for enclosed patios, back yard areas, and landscape areas for ground floor units. Based on the analysis below, staff can support the DSMR request without a follow-up review, if reduction of sidewalk area does not compromise a safe pedestrian circulation system. DUPD staff review is guided by applicable policies of the Pantano East Area Plan, which are the following: 1. The Pantano East Area Plan, Transportation Policies reads: Policy 3.b. Require sidewalks in all private and public developments, as specified in the adopted sidewalk policy. Policy 3.c. Requires that pedestrian facilities be accessible to the handicap. Therefore based on policy direction, staff does not object to sidewalk removal if pedestrian safety and circulation has been considered. Staff recommends the following sidewalk sections be relocated to accomplish a safe pedestrian circulation system, while not adding hard surface to the site. · Move sidewalk located east of and adjacent to building number 9 to the west edge of building number 9, and create yard area for ground units along the eastern edge of building number 9; · Move sidewalk located east of and adjacent to parking area located between buildings number 6 & 9 to west of and adjacent to building number 6, and create yard area for ground units along the eastern edge of building number 6; · Remove sidewalk section, which extends into the PAAL, extending west from the southwest corner of building number 6. It does not seem to connect to any other pedestrian link; · Extend pedestrian sidewalk located between buildings number 11 & 12, as a crosswalk across the PAAL, then onto the Speedway Boulevard sidewalk system. Move planter island to align with crosswalk area on PAAL; · Extend sidewalk located along the western perimeter parking area (southwest corner of site) and have it link with the Speedway Boulevard sidewalk system. · Remove sidewalk section located on-site along the southern perimeter (abutting Speedway Boulevard) and relocated sidewalk section to area located west of and adjacent to building number 4; and · Add pedestrian crosswalk between buildings 6 & 9 where the PAALS intersect. |
