| 09/22/2006 | KAROL ARAGONEZ | ZONING | REVIEW | Denied | CDRC TRANSMITTAL TO: Development Services Department Plans Coordination Office FROM: Karol Aragonez Planner PROJECT: S06-194 Vista Verde Subdivision Tentative Plat TRANSMITTAL DATE: September 21, 2006 DUE DATE: October 12, 2006 COMMENTS: Please resubmit revised drawings along a response letter, which states how all Zoning Review Section comments regarding the Land Use Code and Development Standards were addressed. 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 September 13, 2007. 2. Case number S06-194 has been assigned to this tentative plat (TP). Please place this number in the right corner of all sheets of the tentative plat, landscape plan, NPPO, and any other associated sheets. DS 2-03.2.2.B.1 3. Please remove General Note 1 referencing proposed zoning. Since there is not a rezoning being processed for this site this note does not pertain. 4. Please correct General Note 4 by replacing the LUC Sec. "2.5.3.2.E" with 2.3.2.2.A.2, replace (RCP-2) "in section" with "subject to section", and correct "3.5.7.1" and replace with "3.5.7.1.F". Please remove last sentence indicating that recreation facilities will not be required. The purpose as stated in LUC Sec. 3.6.1.1.G, does require that usable and suitable located recreation facilities and other public and common facilities are provided as determined by the City Attorney's Office. LUC 3.6.1.1.G 5. Please remove reference to Gateway Corridor Zone from General Note 12. References to Speedway as a gateway route are to be removed from sheet 2 of 2 as well. Speedway Boulevard is designated as a scenic corridor on the MS&R Map. 6. Please provide a separate response letter detailing compliance with the applicable conditions of annexation Ordinance No. 6176, which established zoning in the Area 6 Annexation Area. 7. Please draw all existing easements on the plan along with recordation information, location, width, and purpose. If an easement is no longer in use and scheduled to be vacated or has been abandoned, so indicate. If none exist provide response to reviewer's comments. Also if easements are purposed please draw, dimension and label as to their purpose and whether they will be public or private. If none exist provide response to reviewer's comments. DS 2-03-2.3.C & DS 2-03.2.4.J 8. Please provide the distance of the south property line for lot 11, and the west and south property line for lot 1. DS 2-03.2.4.A 9. Please clarify if the property designated as the scenic buffer is part of the common area "A". As drawn it appears to be a separate area and not part of the individual lots. It is preferred that the scenic buffer yard be placed in common area. If this is so please label the buffer as common area and provide the square footage. Because of the nature of this area it may require separate restrictions as that of Common Area "A". DS 2-03.2.4.C 10. Please revise street cross section 1/1 and 1/2. Section 1/1 requires that six (6) inch vertical curbs to be used when parking lanes are not provided as an entrance road. The total dimension of section 1/2 is incorrect. Section 1/2 requires a minimum travel lane of ten (10) feet, six (6) feet for parking lane (eight (8) feet including the wedge curb), two (2) wedge curb, two (2) foot shy area, five (5) foot minimum sidewalk, and six (6) inch minimum space between sidewalk and property line for a total of fifty-one (51) feet. As shown the width is fifty-two (52) and does not provide the required shy area required when using a wedge curb. DS 3-01.10.0 figure 1 & 2 11. Please indicate on sheet 2 of 2 the portion of the property that will be dedicated for right-of-way. 12. To prevent encroachment into the scenic corridor buffer along Houghton Road it is advisable to provide a one (1) foot no access easement along those lot lines abutting the buffer zone. 13. The subdivision is designated in the title block as being a Residential Cluster Project (RCP), which will utilize development designator RCP-2. Please remove general note 8, which quotes requirements for development designator "D". All calculations will be provided per the RCP. Height is based on SCZ which allows a maximum height of 1/3 the distance of the structure from the future right-of-way of Houghton, not to exceed twenty-four (24) feet, since it is the more restrictive of the overlay zones. LUC 2.8.2.5.A.3 14. Please correct Calculation Note 6 changing it to Site Coverage. Maximum allowed site coverage under RCP-2 is thirty-three (33) percent. Please provide proposed site coverage calculations. LUC 3.2.3.1.F & DS 2-10.3.1.C 15. Please remove perimeter yard setback for R-2 and C-1. Setbacks from Houghton Road are based on the Scenic Corridor requirements of one-third (1/3) the distance measured from the edge of the future right-of-way. LUC 2.8.2.5.A 16. An accessible continuous pedestrian path is required to connect all parts of the subdivision. A curb ramp will be required at the end sidewalk on the south side of Tierra Bonita Lane and connect to the north side with a curb ramp with that sidewalk ultimately connecting to the greenway in Houghton Road. Curb ramps or diagonal curb ramps shall be provided at all pedestrian crossings of vehicle use areas and streets where accessible routes are required. They shall be located so they do not project into vehicular traffic lanes, parking spaces, or parking access aisles. Ramps shall be located or protected to prevent their obstruction by parked vehicles. ANSI 406 Curb ramps shall be a minimum of three (3) feet in width, exclusive of flared sides. The curb ramp flares shall not be steeper than 1:10. Counter slopes of adjoining gutters and road surfaces immediately adjacent to the curb ramp shall not be steeper than 1:20. The adjacent surfaces at transitions at curb ramps to walks, gutters and streets shall be at the same level. ANSI 406.2, 3, & 4 All accessible curb ramps shall have truncated domes installed that shall be twenty-four (24) inches minimum in the direction of travel and extend the full width of the curb ramp or flush surface. The domes shall be located so the edge nearest the curb line is six (6) inches to eight (8) inches from the curb line. ANSI 406.12, ANSI 705 17. Please dimension the perimeter yard setback of twenty-five (25) feet from the SR zoned property, maximum seventy-two (72) feet from the future property line of Houghton Road (scenic setback), and eighteen (18) feet maximum from R-1 zoned property. DS 2-10.3.1.A 18. Show the footprint and/or buildable area of each lot. Dimension the interior yard setbacks required (six (6) feet), and the front setback from Tierra Bonita which is half the building wall height for the main house. Garage setback can be based on setbacks for an ADT of 140 or less. DS 2-10.3.1.B and LUC 3.2.6.4, LUC 3.2.6.5.B.1 & LUC 3.2.6.5.B.2 19. Indicate by note how many and which units will be provided with barrier-free accessibility in conformance to LUC Sec. 3.6.1.4.A.5. A detail as to how accessibility is accomplished is to be included on the tentative plat. Barrier free access, as applied under this criterion, is access from a street and/or parking space to the front door of a unit. DS 2-10.3.1.D & LUC 3.6.1.4.A.5 20. The project is within the boundaries of the Houghton East Neighborhood Plan (HENP). Please submit two (2) copies of plans consisting of photos of surrounding area, proposed dimensioned color elevations and narrative as how the RCP complies with the design requirements of the HENP. DS 2-10.3.2.B 21. Provide three (3) copies of CC&Rs if there is to be an association of homeowners to assume responsibility for the maintenance/preservation of the NUOS. Or two copies of protective covenants or common use agreements are required if shared areas are to be established by easements over individually-owned property. DS 2-10.3.2.E & DS 2-10.3.2.F 22. Either provide a detail as to how the mechanical equipment will be screened and architecturally integrated into the project or add to general note 10 that the equipment will be ground- mounted and screened by proposed walls or decorative fencing. LUC 3.6.1.4.A.9 23. A separate Special Application, review, and approval for the Hillside Development Zone (HDZ) and Scenic Corridor Zone (SCZ) overlay is required. For more information the applicant must contact Patricia Gehlen at 791-5608 ext. 1179. The application form is on the DSD website at http://www.tucsonaz.gov/dsd/Forms_Fees___Maps/Applications/Overlay_Zone_Application.pdf 24. Please correct Scenic Corridor Note 1. The required width of the buffer is thirty (30) feet, not fifty (50). Fifty (50) feet should be re-labeled as provided. Please re-label the buffer as "undisturbed natural buffer to be preserved and maintained in it's natural state" . Please note that the buffer yard is in lieu of the ten (10) foot street landscape border usually required. LUC 2.8.2.4.A 25. If specific colors or construction materials palette are proposed, add both matrix tables, which includes the proposed exterior color name, number and manufacturer, proposed roof material type and color, required screening wall materials and color, etc. 26. Please add the following notes to SCZ section a) "No grading beyond that is necessary for siting of buildings, drives, private yards, and structural improvements. All viable vegetation with a caliper of 4 inches or greater and all saguaro cacti will be preserved or relocated on the site per the Native Plant and Preservation Ordinance". Limits of grading are to be graphically shown on the tentative plat. LUC 2.8.2.6.A b) "Drainageways are to be maintained in their natural state." c) Revise note 3 to read "All new utilities for development on private property or public right-of-way along Houghton Road will be underground. Trenching is permitted for the placement of utilities lines, if area is revegetated in accordance with Land Use Code Sec. 3.7.5.2.D". d) "Building or structure surfaces, which are visible from Houghton Road will have colors, which are, predominate within the surrounding landscape." e) "Fencing and freestanding walls facing Houghton Road will meet material restrictions in Land Use Code Sec. 3.7.3, Screening Requirements." f) "All areas between the MS & R right-of-way line and the existing street right-of-way that are disturbed by development shall be revegetated with native vegetation." g) "All areas between the MS & R right-of-way line and the existing street right-of-way that are disturbed by development shall be revegetated with native vegetation." h) "All disturbed areas on the site that are visible from Houghton Road and are not covered by permanent improvements shall be revegetated with native plants, plants from the Drought Tolerant Plant List, or a combination of both." i) "Exposed cut and fill slopes shall be no greater than 1-foot rise or fall over a 3-foot length." 27. The subdivision frontage is greater than two hundred (200) feet and thus will require view corridors with a combined width of twenty (20) percent of that frontage. One hundred and thirty-three (133) feet must be provided as view corridor, which allows vision from at least one point into and through that portion of the subdivision that lies within the SCZ, from Houghton Road. Please provide calculations on the tentative plat. LUC 2.8.2.6.B 28. Please provide a copy of the existing recorded natural open space document. Verification that this is not s dedicated NOS to the public must be made. The deed restricted natural open space and property within the 100-year flood limits is to be recorded as a "Natural Undisturbed Open Space/No Build Easement. The NUOS Areas are subject to the following criteria a) Development other than hiking trails will not be permitted within the legally described boundaries of a natural area. b) The natural area will be delineated in a surveyable manner on the tentative and final plats of a subdivision or on the development plan required for development other than a subdivision and designated by legal description on a document recorded with the Pima County Recorder for a lot division. c) A natural area may be designated as a deed-restricted portion of a privately owned lot.

| 09/26/2006 | JOSE ORTIZ | COT NON-DSD | TRAFFIC | Denied | September 26, 2006 ACTIVITY NUMBER: S06-194 PROJECT NAME: Vista Verde Subdivision PROJECT ADDRESS: Houghton/Speedway PROJECT REVIEWER: Jose E. Ortiz PE, Traffic Engineer Resubmittal Required: Traffic Engineering does not recommend approval of the Tentative Plat; therefore a revised Tentative Plat is required for re-submittal. The following items must be revised or added to the plat. 1. Include a response letter with the next submittal that states how all comments have been addressed. 2. List the ROW width, recordation data, type and dimensioned width of paving, curbs, curb cuts and sidewalks. (DS 2-03.2.3.D) 3. Show and label the size of both existing and future SVTs (DS 2-03.2.4.M). If the existing and future SVTs are the same then label it as both existing and future. 4. Verify that jogs are less than 150' in local alignments i.e. Tierra Bonita Lane against opposite roadways. (DS 3-01.6.3) For clarity label existing roadways. 5. A private improvement agreement (PIA) will be necessary for the proposed work to be performed within the Right-of-way and the proposed public road. An approved tentative plat is required prior to applying for a PIA. Contact the PIA Coordinator for additional PIA information at 791-5550 ext. 11107. 6. Ensure that there is 80' of separation between the proposed roadway and any adjacent driveways along the eastside of Houghton Road. 7. Sheet 1 of 2 (typical section ½): When using a wedge curb a 2' separation is required between the back of curb to the front of the sidewalk per (D.S. 3-01.0 Figure 2). This proposed layout might affect the needed width for right of way. 8. A Traffic Statement is required per Annexation Conditions #1.D of Ordinance No. 6176 adopted by Mayor and Council February 11, 1985. The Traffic Statement should address the need for any off-site improvements for this proposed development (i.e. left/right turn lane warrants). Therefore this plat will not be approved until Traffic is in receipt of the required Traffic Statement. To prevent delay in the review process Traffic will accept a TIA as a separate submittal. If you have any questions, I can be reached at 791-4259 x305 or Jose.Ortiz@tucsonaz.gov |

| 10/06/2006 | JOE LINVILLE | LANDSCAPE | REVIEW | Denied | 1) Note 2 on the tentative plat under Hillside Development Zone is incorrect. Reference Hillside Site Improvement Standard DS 9-04.0. 2) Provide description for easement listed as keynote #3 on sheet 2 of the tentative plat. 3) Identify any improvements proposed for the Houghton Road right-of-way area on the landscape plans and show areas where existing vegetation is to be preserved. 4) Areas set aside to meet the native plant preservation requirements are to be platted and included in Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) as NUOS. Show the NUOS areas on the tentative and final plats and include appropriate language in the CC&R's that protect the Natural Undisturbed open space in perpetuity. LUC 3.8.6.4 5) A minimum of thirty (30) percent of the site shall be set aside as NUOS area. Revise the tentative and final plats as necessary to clearly show in a surveyable manner the common areas or conservation easements. Use the term "NUOS" on the plats and correct the calculations to comply. 6) Submit a letter indicating how the project complies with any applicable zoning conditions. Revise the plans as necessary for compliance. C9-84-65 7) Identify easements on the native plant preservation plan. Utility easements are to be excluded from the NUOS calculations and set aside areas. DS 2-15.3.4.A 8) Revise the native plant preservation plans to clearly show the limits of grading for right of way improvements at Houghton Road and Tierra Bonita Lane , NUOS boundaries, scenic route buffer area, and the limit of riparian habitat disturbance. DS 2-15.3.4.A 9) Revise the tentative plat to clarify if the 30" scenic route buffer area is designated as a common area. Refer to the 30' space as 30' scenic route buffer, rather than corridor. 10) Revise the references to "gateway route" on the tentative plat. Neither street is considered a gateway route. 11) Revise the preservation notes and the tabulations on sheet L2 provide the correct calculations for the set-aside area. These totals should be consistent and comprise the areas specifically dedicated on the plat. 12) Identify the riparian habitat on the tentative plat and identify the portions to be disturbed. 13) Provide information regarding easement keynote 4 on sheet 2 of the tentative plat. According to the Pima County Recorder's Office the document recorded at DKT 10824, Pg. 1567 was a Warranty Deed. This may not conform to the requirements of the Native Plant Preservation regulations. 14) Provide the acreage of each riparian habitat area. It appears that the total likely exceeds the figure shown on the tentative plat of 2.45. acres. 15) Add the following note to the landscape plans. Within the 30' scenic route buffer area, indigenous plant material is to remain. If any disturbance occurs during construction or prior to permit application, the buffer area is to be revegetated with native plants indigenous to the site and the area reconstructed to look as natural as possible. DS 2-06.7.1.B 16) Clarify the ground plane treatments proposed for the site on the landscape plans. All disturbed, grubbed, graded, or bladed areas not otherwise improved shall be landscaped, reseeded, or treated with an inorganic or organic ground cover to help reduce dust pollution. Revise landscape plan to identify the locations proposed for inert ground cover materials or the native seed mix. LUC 3.7.2.7. DS 2-06.5.2.C 16) The site is subject to the provisions of the Scenic Corridor Zone and Hillside Development Zone. The plans may not be approved until the separate approvals are granted. 17) Revise SCZ note 1 on sheet 1 of the tentative plat if necessary to correct the proposed width of the natural area along Houghton Road. 18) Add the following notes to the landscape plans: "Any landscape area visible from the Scenic Corridor Zone is to be landscaped using native plant material indigenous to the site or plants selected from the Drought Tolerant Plant List", DS 9-06.0. DS 2-06.7.1 "Within the SCZ, excluding the Scenic Routes buffer area, all disturbed areas on the site that are visible from the Scenic Route and are not covered by permanent improvements shall be revegetated with native plants, plants from the Drought Tolerant Plant List, or a combination of both." "Within the Scenic Route buffer area and the MS&R right-of-way, all areas between the MS&R right-of-way line and the existing street right-of-way that are disturbed by development shall be revegetated with native vegetation." 19) Submit a conceptual grading plan.

R. Corral 791-4505 DATE: 11/16/06 Because this project is being proposed as a Residential Cluster Project (RCP), it 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 Houghton 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. 1. During the initial review, the applicant did not indicate if homes were to be one-story or two-story. However, because the site is located in the Houghton East Area Plan, Policy 1.B., shall apply which states: Require the first tier of all new residential units adjacent to existing residential development to be limited to 20 feet in height. Policy 1.C. shall also apply which states: Design new developments to be architecturally compatible in scale and mass with the neighborhood. The site is adjacent to one-story homes along the eastern portion of the site, as such, the eastern façade of the eastern tier of homes on the site shall be limited to one-story and shall not exceed 20 feet in height. In addition, the unit at the southeast corner of the site shall be limited to 20 feet in height. Please make a note on the plat indicating that the eastern façade of the homes along the eastern tier of the site shall be limited to one-story, not to exceed 20 feet in height. The unit at the southeast corner of the site shall be limited to 20 feet in height. 2. Staff encourages that a note be added to the plat informing future buyers of the deed restrictions along the eastern edge of the site. 3. 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. 4. 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. 4. Connectivity to the multi-use path from the sidewalk should be provided and constructed of an all weathered material to allow access for residents that are physically impaired. Please illustrate such in the landscape plan. 5. 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. Please provide a bench to be located in the southern common area next to Tierra Bonita Lane. Also provide a bench with shade trees midway along the multi-purpose path and a bench with shade trees at the northwesternmost corner of the multi-purpose path and illustrate such on the landscape plan. 6. Any proposed future walls along the western portion of the site adjacent to the multi-purpose path shall not exceed three (3) feet in height. 7. Please correct note number eight (8) to read "new 8' wide trail" as opposed to "new 8" wide trail." |
