Aragonez 791-4505 DATE: 01/17/06 The Lilac Townhouses tentative plat appears to be proposed as a Residential Cluster Project (RCP), and therefore must comply with section 3.6.1 of the Land Use Code, specifically section 3.6.1.4 of the general development criteria. The RCP requires compliance with policies of the General Plan, the Pantano East Area Plan, and the Design Guidelines 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. Please indicate on the tentative plat if this subdivision is utilizing the Residential Cluster Project (RCP) option. If it is the following items will apply. The City of Tucson General Plan and the Design Guidelines Manual address the importance of development that uses colors of the natural environment which include a variety of blended shades such as blues, yellows, oranges, greens, purples and reds. Applying a variety of these colors to this RCP would be consistent with the variety of colors surrounding the area. Please visit the Urban Planning and Design’s website link to view The Sonoran Desert Color Palette for Building Exteriors”: http://www.ci.tucson.az.us/planning/sonorandesertcolors.pdf, Please make a note on the plat that no two homes with the same façade or color scheme shall be placed next to one another. The Design Guidelines Manual states that side and rear building facades should be built with attention to architectural character and detail comparable to the front façade, particularly if rear and side facades are visible from streets or adjacent properties. Enhancement can include design treatments such a pop outs, color variation, etc. Please submit elevations illustrating how this requirement will be satisfied for all units. The General Plan, and the Design Guidelines Manual encourages the creation of cooling microclimates along pedestrian paths that are internal to the subdivision. In order to provide such a microclimate it is required to provide a minimum of one fifteen (15) gallon tree, no more than ten (10) feet from the back of the sidewalk, on every other lot frontage. This should be shown on the landscape plan along with a note indicating such. The Plans call for innovative site design to include design elements of usable open space and active/passive recreational space and that those pedestrian facilities be accessible to the handicapped. [An active/passive adult recreational facility, which includes a tot lot with appropriate tot equipment and ground material]. The adult recreational amenities should include, but not limited to: ramada(s), table(s), outdoor grill, shaded sitting area(s). The detention basin (Common Area “B”) can serve a dual purpose with the placement of required amenities within and surrounding the basin. The slopes surrounding the basin must be adjusted to provide handicap accessibility to the amenities by way of an all-weather ADA compliant path that connects to the proposed sidewalks within the subdivision. The 12’ wide access ramp could serve this purpose if approved by DSD as being handicapped accessible. Any proposed masonry walls shall be constructed of, or painted with, graffiti-resistant materials. These walls shall incorporate on of the following decorative materials: (a) tile, (b) stone, (c) brick, (d) textured brick/block, (e) a coarse-textured material such as stucco or plaster, or (f) a combination of both. Per Development Standard 2-10.3.2.B & C and LUC Sec. 3.6.1.4.A.3, the RCP is less than four (4) acres and must be compatible in architectural design with, or complementary to, the design characteristics of those existing single-family attached or detached structures along the same block frontage and the block frontage across the street, and/or development on the opposite lot corners. Massing of proposed structures to existing structures will be a part of this review. The tentative plat should identify the height of existing structures that surround the project site. Proposed height must be indicated on the tentative plat. Please submit plans showing how the RCP will comply with these design requirements. Photos, dimensioned elevations, or a combination of both must be submitted. Per Development Standard 2-10.3.2.D, lots less than four thousand (4,000) sq. ft., 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. Please submit floor plans or drawings of the footprint of each unit, showing exterior dimensions. If only dimensioned building footprints are provided, location of second story (if applicable) must be indicated along with front entrances, and motor vehicle parking spaces. Floor plans can be preliminary and do not have to be complete construction drawings. To help expedite this review copies of the building footprints at the same scale as the plat should be 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. A listing of which model home fits on which lot can also be used. Each lot will be designed so that at least one of the model units fits on the lot in compliance with Code requirements. This list should indicate whether optional covered patios, porches, etc., would still allow the unit to fit on the lot in compliance with requirements. Per Development Standard 3-05.2.4.A.1, guest parking must be provided within one hundred and fifty (150) feet of the front or side yard property lines of each residential unit. Lots 1 and 2 are more than 150 feet away from the parking area. This needs to be resolved prior to tentative plat approval. The sidewalk fronting lots 1-7 and 8-12 appears to be placed within the lot boundaries while the detail provided shows the sidewalk within right-of-way. This needs to be corrected. Also if the sidewalk is placed within private property a pedestrian easement must be placed over the sidewalk to allow its use. Sidewalks are required for both sides of the street to provide access for residents to Old Spanish Trail and other parts of the subdivision. Please add a sidewalk in front of lots 13-20 connecting to the pedestrian path within Old Spanish Trail. The sidewalk must be a minimum of five (5) feet wide. If the sidewalk is placed within private property a pedestrian easement must be placed over the sidewalk to allow its use. The street detail must also be changed to reflect the required sidewalk. Please provide dimensions for the visitor parking spaces and provide curb stops. The minimum size of a 90 degree parking space is 8 ½’ x 11’ and wheel stop curbing is set 2.5 feet from the front of the parking space. Please refer to Development Standards 3-05 for criteria. Please verify with Traffic Engineering if sidewalks and curbs will be required to be installed within Old Spanish Trail along that portion that fronts this project. Please provide all required calculations on the tentative plat as required by LUC Sec. 3.6.1 and Sec. 3.2.3.1.F |

| 03/16/2006 | MICHAEL ST. PAUL | ZONING | REVIEW | Denied | CDRC TRANSMITTAL FROM: Michael St.Paul, Planning Technician PROJECT: S06-003 Parcel number 134-09-015G (NO ADDRESS for this site.) Lilac Townhouses TRANSMITTAL: March 16, 2006 COMMENTS: Please attach a response letter with the next submittal, which states how all Zoning Review Section comments regarding the Land Use Code and Development Standards were addressed. 1) 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 January 4, 2007. 2) This review is for a Tentative Plat in the C-1 zone (LUC Section 2.5.3.2.E). The Development Designator is "O" and the Perimeter Yard indicator is CC (LUC Section 3.2.3.1.D). The setbacks must equal the height of each structural wall facing each property line for the back and side setbacks (LUC Section 3.2.6.4). 3) Although the density requirement and the maximum building height are the same numbers for a standard subdivision and a Residential Cluster Project (RCP), the setback requirements prohibit townhouse development in a standard subdivision. It shall be necessary for you to resubmit this subdivision project as a RCP in order for you to proceed with a townhouse development. The RCP Designator is RCP-9 with the Development Alternative A (LUC Section 3.2.3.1.F). The requirements and guidelines for an RCP subdivision are in the LUC, Division 6. Development Incentives, Sections 3.6.1. There are additional requirements and guidelines provided for the submittal of an RCP in Development Standards (DS 2-10). 4) Please revise the project-location map in the upper left corner. "Show the subject property approximately centered within a one (1) square mile area" (DS 2-03.2.1.D.1). "Identify conditions within the square mile area, such as subdivisions, major streets, major watercourses and railroads. Reference recorded subdivision plats by book and page numbers" (DS 2-03.2.1.D.2). There are watercourses and subdivisions near this project. Also identify Kenyon Drive and Sarnoff Drive on the location map. 5) In addition to the logo and address that has been provided on the plan, the phone number of the engineer who prepared the plans must also be provided on the first sheet of the plans (DS 2-03.2.2.A.2). 6) The subdivision case number is S06-003. Please place this number in the lower right corner of each sheet submitted, including landscape and NPPO sheets (DS 2-03.2.2.B.1). Please revise the title block to include that this is a re-subdivision of a portion of Desert Steppes Estates with the map and page numbers (DS 2-03.2.1.G.3). 7) Clearly label Common Area A on the plat (DS 2-03.2.4.C). Common Area A is listed as private street and pedestrian. But the sidewalk along Orchid Avenue is shown as being within the lots. If this is the way you would like to design the right-of-way on this plat, please provide a pedestrian access easement across all the lots with sidewalk areas going through them. Utility easements may also be applicable. (See comment # 10.) 8) If on street parking is not provided than visitor parking must be provided in a common area on the plat. The visitor parking should be evenly distributed throughout the subdivision (DS 2-03.2.4.G). The parking ratio of one parking space per dwelling is required for common area parking within the subdivision (DS 3-01.2.4.D). Therefore twenty (20) parking spaces must be provided in the common area parking for this subdivision. Please revise the guest parking calculation to reflect the proper number of required parking spaces (DS 2-01.2.4.D). Visitor parking must also be provided within one hundred fifty feet (150') of the front street side property line of each residential unit. The distribution of visitor parking should be uniformly located throughout the project for the use by guests (DS3-05.2.4.A.1). It appears that some lots exceed the minimum distance of one hundred fifty feet from the common area parking. Please revise the plans for compliance. 9) Please provide sidewalks on both sides of the street for the full length of Orchid Avenue (DS3-01.2.7.A). Also provide a sidewalk detail with dimensions for the sidewalk adjacent to the common area parking. Please be aware that truncated domes shall be required wherever handicapped accessible ramps are necessary ((ICC/ANSI A117.1-2005: Sec 406.1, 406.6, 406.12 & Sec 705.5). 10) Please provide all proposed easements on the plat. The proposed easements must be dimensions and labeled as to their purpose and whether the easements are public or private (DS2-03.2.4.J). 11) Please be aware that all building setbacks must be clearly dimensioned and delineated on the plat (DS2-03.2.4.M). There is some difference between the south setback of the subdivision and the north and east setbacks. As the plat has been presented there are also setbacks for the side lot lines. Additional comments shall be forthcoming relative to setbacks. 12) Please provide dimensioned elevation of all sides of the proposed structures for this subdivision. These are necessary to determine the correct setback requirements for each lot and the subdivision (LUC Section 3.2.6.4). Also be aware that the front street setback in the greater of twenty-one feet (21') or the height of the structure's wall facing the front property line, measured from the ground to the highest point of that wall, to the travel lane (LUC Section 3.2.6.5.B). 13) Please delineate the existing and future right-of-way (ROW) and the existing and future curb locations on the plat. Provide the half ROW dimensions for the future and existing ROWs and the curb location (LUC Section 2.8.3). The required setback from Old Spanish Trail is the greater of twenty-one feet (21') or the height from the back of the future curb (LUC Section 3.2.6.5.B). 14) Revise General Note 24 to state that the "Proposed use is single family residential" and place this note near the top of the list (DS 2-03.2.2.B.5). 15) It is clear that there shall be considerable revision of this subdivision and there shall be additional comments relative to those revisions. It is necessary to develop a RCP subdivision whenever townhouses with common walls or single family residences (SFRs) reduced setbacks are the intention of the developer. All RCP subdivisions and submittals must meet the requirements LUC Sections 3.6.1 and Development Standards 2-10. |
