| 02/03/2004 | LIZA CASTILLO | UTILITIES | TUCSON ELECTRIC POWER | Approved | SUBJECT: VALLE HERMOSA Lots 1-40 S04-002 Tucson Electric Power Company (TEP) has no objection to the tentative plat submitted for review dated January 6, 2004. The preliminary point where TEP will serve this project is from the existing facilities along Campbell Avenue and Kramer Avenue proceeding through the interior of the subdivision. Enclosed is a copy of TEP's facility map showing the approximate location and unit numbers of the existing facilities. As you are aware, there are existing electrical facilities within the boundaries of this subdivision. All relocation costs will be billable to the developer. TEP will provide an electrical design on the Approved Tentative Plat within fifteen (15) working days after receipt of the plat. Additional plans necessary for design completion are: building plans including water, electrical, paving and driveway placements. at the customer's request, a design can be provided prior to the Approved Tentative Plat, however, once a design is provided, any design changes will be billable to the developer.

| 02/05/2004 | PETER MCLAUGHLIN | ZONING | REVIEW | Denied | CDRC TRANSMITTAL TO: Development Services Department Plans Coordination Office FROM: Peter McLaughlin Senior Planner FOR: Patricia Gehlen Principal Planner PROJECT: Valle Hermosa RCP S04-002 Tentative Plat TRANSMITTAL: February 5, 2004 DUE DATE: February 9, 2004 1. An applicant has one (1) year from the date of application to obtain approval of a tentative plat that complies with zoning and other development requirements in effect at the time of application. This tentative plat must be approved on or before January 12, 2005. LUC 4.1.7.1 2. Fill in the S04-002 number near the title block in the lower right hand corner of all sheets of the plat, landscape and NPPO plans. DS 2-03.2.2.B.1 3. In general note 9 indicate specifically which units will be provided with barrier-free accessibility in conformance with LUC 3.6.1.4.A.5. Add a detail showing how barrier-free access will be provided. DS 2-10.3.1.D 4. After recordation, add the docket and page of the quit claim deed from the City of Tucson for the 30-foot acquisition along the north property line. DS 2-03.2.4.B & I 5. A copy of proposed CC&R's must be provided to the Zoning Review Section for review and approval prior to approval of the final plat. The CC&R's must meet the criteria of LUC 3.6.1.5 and DS 2-03.6.6. DS 2-10.3.2.E 6. On sheet 3 of 6 label the edge of nearest travel lane along Kramer Avenue to clarify where the 21-foot street setback is dimensioned from for lots 12, 26 and 40. LUC 3.2.6.4 7. To clarify the required setback indicated on sheet 3 of 6, specify the bldg heights along the back walls of the units proposed for lots 1 through 12. LUC 3.2.6.4 8. On lots of four thousand (4,000) square feet or more, it will be assumed that the lot is of sufficient size to accommodate a dwelling unit; therefore, on projects with lots of this size, floor plans will not be required. However, on lots of less than four thousand (4,000) square feet, units have to be custom designed to fit onto these smaller and tighter lots, and additional information is needed to verify compliance with RCP requirements.Therefore, on projects that have lots less than four thousand (4,000) square feet in size, submit: 1. Floor plans or drawings of the footprint of each unit, showing exterior dimensions. If only dimensioned building footprints are provided, be certain that locations of second floors (if applicable), front entrances, and motor vehicle parking spaces are noted. The floor plans can be preliminary plans and do not have to be complete construction drawings. Plans can be reviewed in a more timely manner if copies of the building footprints drawn at same scale as the plat are provided.This allows staff the ability to check which models fit which lots using a light table, instead of performing the tedious lot-by-lot math work. 2. Building elevations of all proposed units with height dimensions. These assist in determining compliance with perimeter yard setbacks and screening of mechanical equipment. The elevations can be preliminary drawings. The model home construction plans will be used to determine exact setbacks and screening requirements at the time of application for building permits. 3. A list indicating which model homes fit which lots. Unless a lot is planned for another use, each lot will be designed so that at least one of the model units fits on the lot in compliance with Code requirements. The list should indicate whether optional covered patios, porches, etc., will still allow the unit to fit on the lot in compliance with requirements. DS 2-10.3.2.D 9. All requested revisions must be made to tentative plat, landscape & NPPO plans. DS 2-07.2.1.A If you have any questions about this transmittal, please call Peter McLaughlin, (520) 791-5608. |

In this instance, the RCP requires compliance with policies of the General Plan, the Kino Area Plan, the Western Hills/Pueblo-Sunland Gardens Neighborhood Plan, and the Design Guideline Manual. The Plans require community amenities, such as but not limited to; streetscapes with pedestrian oasis, common area(s) of appropriate land size(s) to sustain residential amenities for all ages with pedestrian paths links to the on-site sidewalk circulation system. The Land Use Code, general development criteria 3.6.1.4.A.1, reads: The RCP must be in conformance with the design policies and criteria of the General Plan and any of its components, including any applicable adopted area and neighborhood plans. (Ord. No. 9517, ss3, 2/12/01) Staff is concerned that as proposed, lots 1 through 12 of your tentative plat have the back yards back up to 38th street. This site design is detrimental to the land across 38th Street to the north. Any potential residential development across 38th Street will be facing rear yards instead of a front to front yard design. One possible scenario is to vacate that portion of 38th Street, between Campbell Avenue and Kramer Avenue. Half added to your property, the other half to the land across 38th Street. Any future residential development to occur across 38th Street would be able to design back to back residential uses with yours. Has anybody approached the City of Tucson Real Estate Department on a vacation of 38th Street, between Campbell Avenue and Kramer Avenue? Based the issues address above, staff offers the following comments: Please revised tentative plat and landscape plan to include appropriate sized common area(s) which includes amenities for all ages [An active/passive adult recreational facility, which includes a tot lot with appropriate tot equipment and ground material]. The adult recreational amenities to include, but not limited to: ramada(s), table(s), outdoor grill, shaded sitting area(s). 2. Please revise landscape plan to include a native drought tolerant canopy tree of a minimum 15 gallons in size and to be placed at a maximum fifteen feet from back of sidewalk on every other lot (within the front yard of designated lots), for each subdivision street. Please revise tentative plat legend to include and label a common area(s) for “recreational use.” Please revise any common area combined with recreational uses and drainage/detention/retention uses to show the recreational area and associated pedestrian path within common area outside of the low flow channel or ponding areas. Please respond to our comment on the issue of the rear yards on lots 1-12 abutting 38th Street and address how you plan to reduce the impact on developable land to the north across 38th Street. |
