| 03/28/2005 | PETER MCLAUGHLIN | ZONING | REVIEW | Denied | CDRC TRANSMITTAL TO: Development Services Center Plans Coordination Office FROM: Peter McLaughlin Senior Planner FOR: David Rivera Principal Planner PROJECT: S05-034 La Estancia de Tucson Tentative Plat Review (1st review) TRANSMITTAL: 3-28-05 DUE DATE: 3-31-05 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 March 2, 2006. LUC 4.1.7.1 2. Please place the S05-034 number in or 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. Provide the proposed residential density in a calculation as a general note on sheet 1 of 21. DS 2-05.2.1.D 4. As indicated in general note 26 the project is located within the Airport Environs Zone (AEZ). Add an Airport Hazard District (AHD) note to indicate that the elevation above median sea level (MSL) of the SE end of Davis Monthan Airforce Base runway is 2,705 feet. Include the mean elevation of the site and indicate max height of the proposed homes. Along with the maximum proposed building height add the maximum allowed building height to the notes. Provide elevation drawings to detail heights and to demonstrate compliance with PAD Standards. The subdivision is also partly located within the ADC-2 zone, which does not allow residential uses, some commercial uses, parks, and other uses listed in LUC 2.8.5.8.B.2. The ADC-2 line clips an area of the proposed residential subdivision near its northeast corner. In addition, most of the proposed subdivision area is within the NCD-65, which requires that residential site-built uses be insulated for sound attenuation as required by LUC 2.8.5.9. Add notes stating that the plat is subject to the requirements of ADC-2 and NCD-65. For clarity and to show where the AEZ applies, add the correct location of the AHD and ADC-2 and NCD-65 lines onto the maps. Refer to Davis-Monthan Airport Environs Zone maps to verify the location of these AEZ boundary lines. LUC 2.8.5.7.A.2 5. Revise the square footage of common area "A" (part of keynote 5) adjacent to realigned Julian Wash on sheet 16 of 21 to be correct. The square footage reads 2577 square feet but this common area scales to be much larger. Add the square footage of the parks (keynote 5) on sheets 13, 14 and 17 of 21. Add the square footage of common area "A" adjacent to lots 334-340 on sheet 18 of 21. Add the square footage of the drainage easements (common areas "B"-keynote 8) on sheets 12 and 17. Make sure all other common areas have the area stated on the plat. DS 2-05.2.4.W 6. Include a reduced-scale map of the PAD district on the first sheet, indicating the location of the portion to be developed with this proposal. DS 2-05.2.1.F 7. Phasing note 7 indicates that, unless otherwise amended, dedications of right-of-way, assurances, construction of storm drains, parks, etc. must be done in sequence per the phasing plan. Development Note 1 on the La Estancia Block Plat states that no development, including grading, grubbing or other alterations shall occur on any portion of the platted property until the relocation of Julian Wash has been completed and evidence of the completion has been certified and recorded by the Devleopment Services Director. In addition, based on the PAD 7 document the relocation of Los Reales Road and Julian Wash will be completed prior to approval of phase 1. Provide evidence that this wash realignment has occurred. La Estancia Plat 8. Roads, parks and the general layout of the subdivision does not match the approved block plat for La Estancia. A new master block plat will be required so that dedications of public areas are correct and consistent with what is approved. Additional comments may be necessary based on a redesign or replatting of La Estancia. La Estancia Development PAD 7 Document, Block Plat 9. A requirement of the La Estancia Pad 7 is that linear park be provided along Julian Wash and bike lanes be provided along main project roads. Label the location of the linear park and bike route on the drawings to further clarify what is shown in the Julian Wash cross section A on sheet 2 of 4. Document - PAD 4 Development Area 2 Development Standard e 10. Per La Estancia Pad document, all proposed development plans must be submitted to the La Estancia Design Review Committee prior to Development Plan Review. Document - PAD 7 Section IV-B. 11.

| 03/31/2005 | LAITH ALSHAMI | ENGINEERING | REVIEW | Denied | Laith Alshami, Engineering and Floodplain Review, 03/31/2005 SUBJECT: La Estancia De Tucson S05-034, T15S, R15E, SECTION 18 RECEIVED: Tentative Plat, Landscape Plan and Drainage Report on March 03, 2005 The subject submittal can not be reviewed until the revised Master Drainage Report and a revised Block Plat are submitted for review and approved. This Office conducted an informal review for the revised Master Drainage Report and we offer the following comments: Drainage Report: 1. The Revised Master Drainage Report should be submitted formally in conjunction with a revised Block Plat submittal. 2. The revised Master Drainage Report should be a stand-alone document. It should not cross-reference the previously approved Master Drainage Report for information. Revise the entire drainage report accordingly. 3. Revise Fig #1 to reflect the revised roadway network. 4. Table A on page 4 is missing several of the existing offsite runoffs. Revise. 5. Figure #3 does not appear to have all the concentration points that correspond to their perspective watersheds. Revise. 6. The realignment of the Julian Wash, including any required excavation and fill, requires a floodplain use permit. Revise Item #5 of the Methodology & Procedures accordingly. 7. A CLOMR and a LOMR are required for the proposed realignment of the Julian Wash. An approved CLOMR will be needed for the approval of any tentative plat and/or development that show improvements within the existing alignment of the Julian Wash. The fill within the existing Julian Wash should be made an assurable item and the LOMR will be needed prior to issuance of the first C of O. 8. Figure #2 does not include a Map Key or a Legend to help understand the different color-coded land uses. Revise. 9. It appears that Concentration Point ON-16, in Table C, has the wrong runoff amounts. Revise. 10. The text in page 8 states that nine culverts, two bridges and nine detention basins proposed to convey the flow across the site. Figure #4 shows different proposed drainage structures numbers. Revise the text and Table E to demonstrate consistency. 11. Table G shows that the post development Q2-year detention basin discharge for Concentration Points 6+7+8 has increased, which is not acceptable unless it can be demonstrated that the proposed increase will not adversely impact adjacent and downstream properties. 12. Without the Hydrological Sheets for the entire site existing conditions, the calculated retention basin volume adequacy could not be verified. Additionally, Section 4.2 states that the site area is 550 acres, yet Section 1.1 states that the site area is 558 acres. Verify the correct area and revise as necessary. 13. Show the streets names on the drainage exhibits. 14. Drainage related street designs for the proposed streets should be included in the revised Master Drainage Report. 15. Include the hydrologic data sheets for the existing conditions. Additionally, existing and proposed conditions hydrologic data sheets should be provided for all watersheds and subwatersheds. 16. It is not clear of Figure #3 where Offsite watershed IX, which is included in HEC-1 flow chart, is located. 17. HEC-1 flowchart shows onsite runoff 1-B concentrates at concentration point CP-1 instead of CP-1b as shown on Fogure #4. Revise. 18. Provide a legend for the labels used in the HEC-1 flowchart. 19. HEC-1 routing can not be reviewed effectively without including the offsite runoff in the Revised Drainage Report. 20. Show on Figure #4 the direction of flow within watershed 13. 21. Clarify how the proposed channels and culverts capacities were determined. Additionally, specify which watersheds will be discharging into the proposed channels and culverts. 22. It is not clear where the proposed scuppers will be located. Additionally, clarify how the scupper capacities were determined. 23. Clarify the purpose for the "Roadway Drainage Hydrologic Data Sheet" provided at the end of the report. 24. The Phasing Plan states that "certain drainage infrastructure is required to be built with the main infrastructure and other infrastructure can wait for the individual blocks to develop before being constructed". It is not clear if the drainage infrastructure to be built with the main infrastructure will be completely designed in the Revised Master Drainage Report (RMDR) or the design will be part of the individual blocks drainage reports. The RMDR addresses the design of some detention/retention basins, channels and box culverts, but it does not provide detailed design information such as erosion control requirements, water harvesting, retention basins percolation rates/bleed pipes, detention/retention basins maintenance ramps and sediment traps and drainage facilities maintenance responsibility, etc. Clarify. 25.

Anderson 791-4505 DATE: 03/30/05 Department of Urban Planning and Design Comments La Estancia De Tucson – D05-0034: 1st submittal The La Estancia Planned Area Development (PAD) establishes comprehensive guidance and regulations for the development of homes and associated support services on approximately 565 acres along the north side of Interstate 10 between Kolb Road and Wilmot Road. The PAD implements the City of Tucson General Plan by specifying policies and site development standards, which replace the current zoning on the property. The subject property is located in the La Estancia PAD and Rincon/Southeast Subregional Plan. The La Estancia PAD, Rincon/Southeast Subregional Plan, General Plan, and Design Guidelines Manual all provide guidance for the review of this development. It is staff’s understanding that the PAD needs to be replated, per the Real Estate Division. The following comments are in response to the first submittal and should be addressed after the replat process is completed and prior to the second submittal. 1. The PAD states that the project has been designed to locate residential uses outside the 65LDN noise levels and the air operations approach/departure zone. Residential development that may be affected by DMAFB will not be permitted without approval of DMAFB. Please submit a letter from DMAFB that supports the construction of the houses located in blocks 1, 2, 3, and 4, which are located in the 65 LDN. 2. Please locate all residential lots outside the ADC-2. 3. Please show the ADC-2 and NCD-A on the plat and state under General Notes that both exist. Also, please state what lots are located in the NCD-A and that they will be constructed with proper sound attenuation that reduces noise to the required level of 40-45 Ldn. 4. The PAD states that there needs to be a variety of housing types including single-family homes, patio homes, and apartments. The submittal shows all single-family homes in the 693 lot phase. Please create diversity in the types of housing provided. Opportunities exist to locate higher density housing (apartments) around the Village Center commercial area, in block 18, which is located adjacent to future commercial uses, in areas of blocks that are next to proposed high-density residential, and other sporadic locations throughout the development. (II.A, II.A.2.6, & II.A.2.7) 5. Please increase the densities in the MDR blocks that do not meet the minimum standards. Also, please provide the densities and the number of units for each block. (Land Use Density Table) 6. Blocks 18 and 26 have the opportunity to be developed together and provide for an opportunity for residential and commercial uses that are integrated, interconnected, and work together, not separately. Please configure block 18 to allow for better integration, connectivity, and cohesiveness with block 26. (II.A.2) 7. Collector streets are to be designed in conjunction with each of the subdivision plats. This was refined in the minor refinement letter to allow more flexibility to combine development pods and design the amount and type of streets to respond better to the needs of each subdivision. The major collector and the collector that leads to the industrial collector road, via the village center, are the only two collectors in the submittal. Please create a collector system in the tentative plat or demonstrate the need to not have any additional collectors. (minor refinement letter & II.B) 8. The size of the proposed commercial use on the northwest corner of the industrial collector and Kolb Road creates a need for access to and from the commercial use to a controlled intersection. Please provide a collector street north to the industrial collector that leads to the commercial property. This will help ensure a better coordinated and responsible planning approach. (refinement letter & II.A.2) 9. The proposed layout of the subdivision creates an environment along the major collector, Camino Boleadoras, which is dominated by screen walls. This needs to be addressed and altered to create an environment along the major collector that is more visually pleasing. (II.A.2.2, II.A.2.6, & II.A.2.7) 10. Please show the landscape in the medians along the major collector. The medians need to have a combination of canopy trees, understory, and ground vegetation. 11. Please show the landscape along the entire major collector, Camino Boleadoras. This needs to include a mix of low shrubs and colorful groundcover, in addition to the canopy trees. (II.D.3) 12. Via Bombachas is a minor collector street and therefore needs a secondary streetscape. Please provide the required landscape. (Exhibit II.D) 13. Please provide five feet wide sidewalks along all local streets. 14. Please locate, at minimum, one tree in the front yard of every lot. The tree needs to be at least 15 gallon in size. (II.D.5) 15. Please demonstrate the different neighborhood themes. Please provide the unique tree and plant palettes for each neighborhood. (II.D.5) 16. Construction of the Julian Wash park is the responsibility of the property owner and shall be completed during Phase I of the project. Please show the Julian Wash park and all the applicable amenities. Please construct the paths in the Julian Wash park to the same standards as the paths in the developments to the west. This includes a 12 feet wide hard surface path and an eight feet wide soft surface path. (II.C & I.A.2) 17.To make the Julian Wash park more accessible and to help separate vehicular and pedestrian circulation please provide access to the Julian Wash park path via EW St. A at an approximate interval of ¼ mile. There seems to be an opportunity to address these objectives and intents of the PAD with, or along the common areas labeled as ‘B’ that lead to the Julian Wash (between lots 17&18, the common area and 38, 442&443, and the area previously described as between lots 426&427). The access should include a sidewalk and appropriate vegetation that includes shade trees, understory, and ground vegetation. In addition, the access should be wide and open enough to allow for a safe feeling for all pedestrians. (I.A & I.A.2) 18. Construction of the community park is the responsibility of the property owner and shall be completed during Phase I of the project. Please show the community park and all the amenities. (II.C) 19. The proposed neighborhood parks need to be usable. Please provide amenities in these parks including bike racks. Depending on the size of the individual neighborhood parks, these amenities can include, park benches, picnic tables, water fountains, shade shelters, BBQ grills, tot lots, grass play areas, basketball courts, and other active recreational uses. Please shade all tot lots with a canopy, or similar structure that provides shade. Please provide a wide range of shade trees from the Low Water Use Drought Tolerant List. To increase appearance, shade and longevity diversity please provide some longer living trees, including evergreens that are in the Low Water Use Drought Tolerant List. This can include pines, or other evergreen trees, and oaks. Also, please do not locate any vegetation that has thorns at maturation in the parks. (minor refinement letter & II.D.6) 20. Construction of the Gas Line Park is the responsibility of the property owner and shall be completed during Phase I of the project. Please show the park and all the amenities. (II.C) 21. Please locate corridors from the residential area that connect to the Gas Line Park. This should can be accomplished along all east/west streets and along block 3 and block 4 (end of the cul-de-sac, between lots 547 & 548 and lots 379 & 380) 22. Please show the proposed use for Common Area “B” (south of lot 38) on the tentative plat. The landscape plan labels this area as Common Area “C”. Please label this are uniformly on the landscape plan and tentative plat. 23. Please create a more visually appealing development by incorporating the broad range of Sonoran Desert colors in the base and accent colors of the houses and varying the building elevations. Please see the following website for examples of possible shade of Sonoran Desert Colors. Please place a note on the tentative plat that states that no more than two houses in succession will have the same color patterns. Please place a note on the tentative plat that states that no more than two houses in succession will have the same building elevations. Please provide the proposed base and accent colors for the houses. http://intranet.ci.tucson.az.us/cptf/sonorandesertcolors.pdf 24. Demonstrate the state of the art building techniques and design being used to conserve energy, water and non-renewable resources. (I.2 Project Objectives) 25. Provide for spine infrastructure to create a state of the art wired community and enable homes and businesses to take advantage of any new, enhanced communication opportunities. If this has been provided, please state on the development plan what infrastructure has been provided. (I.2. Project Objectives) |

The subject property is located in the La Estancia PAD and Rincon/Southeast Subregional Plan. The La Estancia PAD, Rincon/Southeast Subregional Plan, General Plan, and Design Guidelines Manual all provide guidance for the review of this development. 4. The PAD states that there needs to be a variety of housing types including single-family homes, patio homes, and apartments. The submittal shows all single-family homes in the 674-lot phase. Please create diversity in the types of housing provided. Opportunities exist to locate higher density housing (apartments) around the Village Center commercial area, in block 18, which is located adjacent to future commercial uses, in areas of blocks that are next to proposed high-density residential, and other sporadic locations throughout the development. (II.A, II.A.2.6, & II.A.2.7) 6. Blocks 18 and 26 and Blocks 5 and 14, and 23 have the opportunity to be developed together and provide for an opportunity for residential and commercial uses that are integrated, interconnected, and work together, not separately. Please configure blocks to allow for better integration, connectivity, and cohesiveness with block 26. (II.A.2) 8. The size of the proposed commercial use on the northwest corner of the industrial collector and Kolb Road creates a need for access to and from the commercial use to a controlled intersection. If the size of the commercial use on the lot continues, please provide a collector street north to the industrial collector that leads to the commercial property. This will help ensure a better coordinated and responsible planning approach. Please show where this collector street will be located and connect to Camino Boleadoras. (refinement letter & II.A.2) 9. The proposed layout of the subdivision creates an environment along the major collector, Camino Boleadoras, which is dominated by screen walls. This needs to be addressed and altered to create an environment along the major collector that is more visually pleasing. (II.A.2.2, II.A.2.6, & II.A.2.7) 13. Please provide five feet wide sidewalks along all local streets. Since the PAD was approved in 1999, five feet wide sidewalks have been a standard in all PADs along local streets. 16. Construction of the Julian Wash park is the responsibility of the property owner and shall be completed during Phase I of the project. Please show the Julian Wash park and all the applicable amenities. Please construct the paths in the Julian Wash park to the same standards as the paths in the developments to the west. This includes a 12 feet wide hard surface path and an eight feet wide soft surface path. (II.C & I.A.2) 17.To make the Julian Wash park more accessible and to help separate vehicular and pedestrian circulation please provide access to the Julian Wash park path via Street A Please provide the access along the north side of Common Area “B” Drainage on the western side of the PAD, next to the drainage area where Street “H” ends to the north, north of lot 438, and from Block 18. The access should include a sidewalk and appropriate vegetation that includes shade trees, understory, and ground vegetation. In addition, the access should be wide and open enough to allow for a safe feeling for all pedestrians. (I.A & I.A.2) 19. Please shade all tot lots with a canopy, or similar structure that provides shade. (minor refinement letter & II.D.6) 23. Please create a more visually appealing development by incorporating the broad range of Sonoran Desert colors in the base and accent colors of the houses and varying the building elevations. Please see the following website for examples of possible shade of Sonoran Desert Colors. Please place a note on the tentative plat that states that no more than two houses in succession will have the same color patterns. Please place a note on the tentative plat that states that no more than two houses in succession will have the same building elevations. Please place a note that states that a wide range of Sonoran Desert colors will be used, similar to what is shown on the following website. http://www.ci.tucson.az.us/planning/sonorandesertcolors.pdf 24. Demonstrate the state of the art building techniques and design being used to conserve energy, water and non-renewable resources. Please state under the General Notes what techniques and design will be used (I.2 Project Objectives) 25. Provide for spine infrastructure to create a state of the art wired community and enable homes and businesses to take advantage of any new, enhanced communication opportunities. Please state under General Notes what infrastructure has been provided. (I.2. Project Objectives) New comments 26. Please provide shade trees along the sidewalks along all designated common areas. To provide a pleasing microclimate for pedestrians, the distance needs to be similar to the average lot width in the PAD. The vegetation in the pocket parks are acknowledged and sufficient per the policies of the PAD. |
