TO: Craig Gross; CDRC Coordinator
SUBJECT: Rio Nuevo Mercado Tentative Plat 3rd Submittal Engineering Review
LOCATION: T14S R13E Section 14
REVIEWER: Elizabeth Eberbach
ACTIVITY NUMBER: S04-053

SUMMARY: The revised Tentative Plat, response letter, Landfill Notification statement, and revised Landscape Plan were received by Engineering on October 26, 2004. Engineering has reviewed the received items and does not recommend approval of the Tentative Plat. The building setback assessment by the geotechnical engineer must be submitted and reviewed prior to Tentative Plat approval by Engineering.

TENTATIVE PLAT COMMENT:
1) City of Tucson Development Standards (DS) Section No.10-01.III.3.5.1.3.a & Sec.2-03.2.4.K, Sec.10-02.14.2.6, Sec.2-05.2.4.I: It was stated in your October 22, 2004 response letter that a letter from Terracon would be submitted to address this comment from the prior set of comments. This does not appear to be submitted. Provide a copy of the pending geotechnical assessment explaining how project design for proposed building layout meets recommendations for the setback distance for proposed foundations from hydro-collapsing soils encountered. If the setbacks indicate that the layout must be changed to meet the setback, a revision to the Tentative Plat may be necessary.
2) DS Sec.2-03.2.3.A: DS Sec.2-03.2.3.A: On sheet 1 there is a tie to the neighboring parcel but not to the project corner; clarify and complete tie for to property boundary from section 14.

Submit Terracon letter and revised Tentative Plat. If you have any questions, please call me at 791-5550 extension 2204.

Tentative Plat - New PAD Proposal

TRANSMITTAL: November 9, 2004

DUE DATE: November 9, 2004

COMMENTS

1. Section 4.1.7.1, LUC, permits a maximum of one year from the date of application to obtain approval of a tentative plat. If, at the end of that time, the tentative plat has not been approved, it must be revised to be in compliance with all regulations in effect at that time, and must be resubmitted for a full CDRC review. The one-year expiration date for this tentative plat is May 10, 2005.

2. Please revise the title in the title block and the title of the cover sheet to include the word Residential after the words "Lots 1-100 Residential,". DS 2-03.2.1.G.1

3. The City of Tucson has been listed as the owner of the property. Please list the contact person or representative for the City of Tucson along with phone number and address and if applicable department. DS 2-03.2.2.A.1

4. Add to general note the proposed zoning "PAD -10" and add that the this plat is subject to the rezoning case C9-04-07. DS 2-03.2.2.B.2

5. Revise general note 4 as follows. The number of lots is 100 and Blocks "A" through "D". DS 2-03.2.2.B.4

6. List as a general note the proposed use of the site. DS 2-03.2.2.B.5

7. List as a note the total number of public or private streets. DS 2-03.2.2.D.1.b

8. Please clarify if there may be a property line issue along the west boundary of lot 100. It appears per the tentative plat drawing that the plat boundary line is right at the edge of what appears to be a porch or some sort of structure. The area in question is the adjacent to the five parking spaces along the west property line of lot 100. It also appears that an existing fence line is within the pad boundary. Clarify if the adjacent owner owns the fence and if he is aware that the pad boundary according to the plat drawing is right at his doorstep. This issue could be a problem if the adjacent owner feels that the pad may be encroaching on to his land. DS 2-03.2.3.B

9. At a meeting with Gayle Marsland, Elizabeth Eberbach, two Environmental Services Engineers, and Myself there was discussion about possibly phasing the development specifically the area close to the landfill boundary. Please clarify if this is still and option that will be pursued. If so please address any phasing requirements such as access to future phases, phase lines, etc. Also is the phasing only for the grading or will be be for the development as well. DS 2-03.2.4.E

10. I could not identify Common Area "F". Please insure that Common Area "F" is delineated and labeled on the plat. DS 2-03.2.4.I and .G

11. All proposed easements must be delineated, dimensioned and labeled. DS 2-03.2.4.J

12. Please address or respond to the following items.

a. Per the pad document a pedestrian corridor (Paseo) listed on the plat as common area "D" is to be provided from Street "D" through the Neighborhood General district to the Town Center. The specific area in question is the corridor between lots 86-93 and 94-99 that leads from Street "D" to Commercial Lot/Block "D". The Pad document depicts the corridor extending in to the commercial lot and to the southeast corner of said lot. The tentative plat does not depict this corridor correctly. Please revise the tentative plat as required. ( I acknowledge that the commercial buildings have not been designed but the plat should depict this corridor as was approved on the Pad document.

b. Please label the use of the area between the parking spaces adjacent to lots 86 and 94. It is not clear if the area is pedestrian area, landscape area, or whether the area is a covered structure. Is it a common area?

c. The plan does not depict access ramps at corners of the streets. Please clarify and draw locations for the access ramps. Check with the transportation department for key locations.

d. A general note must be added to the tentative plat that states that separate development plans or tentative and final plats will be required for lot 100 and blocks "A" - "D".

If you have any questions about this transmittal, please call David Rivera, (520) 791-5608. C:\planning\cdrc\tentativeplat\S04053tp3.doc

Urban Planning and Design Comments
S04-053, Rio Nuevo Mercado District
November 5, 2004

Staff offers the following comments:

1.Please revise tentative plat, sheet 1 of 6, general note #1, second sentence, to include the following information:

THE MENLO PARK MERCADO DISTRICT PLANNED AREA DEVELOPMENT-10 (PAD-10) WAS APPROVED BY MAYOR AND COUNCIL ON NOVEMBER 1, 2004, REZONING CASE C9-04-07.

2. Please revise tentative plat, S04-053, general note number 1, on sheet 1 of 6, to state (in your own terms) that Lots/Blocks “A”, “B”, “C”, “D”, and Residential Lot 100 require a separate development plan approval, prior to issuance of permits.

3. Please revise tentative plat language on sheet 2 of 6 to comply with sheet 1 of 6, which states that all alleys are “private.” Sheet 2 of 6 states Lander Alley as public right of way. If Lander Alley is a public right of way (off-site), please revise sheet 2 of 6 to indicate these alleys are located off-site.

4. Please address the issue of the two separate alleys, one having a north-south orientation and the second ally having an east-west orientation and both under the same name of “Lander Alley.” This may create an issue for emergency services in a future date and may require Pima County Addressing review and approval.

5.Please revise the tentative plat, on sheet 3 of 6, and in the landscape plan to identify the shaded/hatch marked area located within the parking area, northwest of and adjacent to lot 86 & 94.

6. Please revised tentative plat and landscape plan to comply with PAD-10, which provides a pedestrian “paseo” link from the southern edge of the development (northeast corner of the intersection of Clearwater Dr. and Avenida Del Convento) to Congress Street on the northern edge of the development, through an alignment with Street B (Acequia Street). As shown, on tentative plat and landscape plan, the paseo is not in compliance with PAD-10. The Menlo Park Mercado PAD-10, on pages 16, 20, 22, & 36 provides a pedestrian “paseo” through Commercial Lot/Block D, and includes landscaping at the northwest corner of the intersection of Clearwater Drive and Avenida Del Convento.

7. Please provide documentation, which addresses the issue of ownership and understanding between the City and the adjacent residential property to the west of lot 100. The tentative plat indicates part of the adjacent property owner’s back yard (enclosed with chain link fence) is located within the PAD boundary and will be part of the proposed parking area for lot 100. The tentative plat indicates the PAD’s boundary will eliminate the adjacent property owner’s back yard and place the boundary line right up against the rear porch of the house.

8. There are three points of potential conflict along the western edge of the PAD, where the PAD abuts existing residential properties. The potential conflict is created by open common areas (alleys) and open parking lots between lots 61 & 64, 65 & 71, and adjacent to lot 100. The PAD does not require landscaping or screening of parking lots. However, the intent was to have a seamless transition to the neighborhood to the west of the PAD. Staff encourages mitigation at these three points with some type of appropriate landscaping or screening to minimize noise, glare, and the visual impacts of common areas (alleys) and the parking lot.
