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 March 30, 2009.

2. Provide a copy of the cross access/cross parking agreement and provide a note on the plan "CROSS ACCESS/CROSS PARKING AGREEMENT RECORDED UNDER DKT #### PG ####. As this project will work as a shopping center provide a copy of cross access agreement.

3. The comment was not fully addressed. For each use add the "SUBJECT TO SECTIONS" i.e. Food Service "30", subject to: Sec. 3.5.4.6.C and Sec. 3.5.13.5, Financial Service "31", subject to: Sec. 3.5.13.5 and Sec. 3.5.4.5.C D.S. 2-03.2.2.B.5 & D.S. 2-05.2.2.B.3, General Merchandise Sales "31", subject to: Sec. 3.5.9.2.A, Day Care "31", subject to: Sec. 3.5.13.5. Revise General Note 3 to include each use, the development designator and if applicable any subject to sections listed in the LUC.

4. This comment was not fully addressed, show the required stacking spaces for the proposed financial service. Per D.S. 2-05.2.4.D.3 & D.S. 2-05.2.4.P Show all required stacking spaces for all drive through lanes shown on the plan, see D.S. 305.2.1.C.2 for stacking requirements.

5. D.S. 2-05.2.4.D.O Per LUC Section 3.4.5.6 for a financial service, 1,500 to 5,000 square feet, one 10 x 18 foot loading space is required. Show the loading space on the plan.

6. D.S. 2-05.2.4.D.O Per LUC Section 3.4.5.3 for a daycare, 10,001-30,000 square feet, two (2) 12 x 35 foot loading spaces are required. Show the required loading spaces on the plan. For your information the size and/or number of required loading spaces cannot be modified using a Development Standard Modification Request (DSMR). To modify the size and/or number of required loading spaces a Board of Adjustment for Variance is required.

7. This comment has not been addressed correctly. D.S. 2-05.2.4.D.P The parking calculation is not correct. If you are going to use the mixed use calculation, per LUC Section 3.3.5.1 Land Uses Sharing Common Elements. For a mixed use development, the total number of required spaces is ninety (90) percent of the sum of the amount required for each separate principal use in Sec. 3.3.4. This said since this site is working as one site zoning recommends that you use LUC Section 3.3.5.6.A for your parking calculation.

8. D.S. 2-05.2.4.D.P Please verify the provided number of vehicle parking spaces for lot 1, 3, 4 & 5. Per my count lot 1 provides 26, lot 3 provides 35, lot 4 provides 417 and lot 5 provides 84.

ACTIVITY: S08-043


SUMMARY: Engineering Division of Development Services Department has received and reviewed the revised Tentative Plat and Drainage Report (The WLB Group, Inc., 28MAR08, revised 09JUL08). The Drainage Report was reviewed for Tentative Plat purposes only. The Tentative Plat is not approved at this time. The following items need to be addressed:


DRAINAGE REPORT:

1) Complied

2) DS Sec.9-06 Refer to this section for the definitions, preparation, submittal, and review procedures for development within areas that have environmental habitat, Floodplain and Erosion Hazard Area Regulations. Any disturbance of the riparian habitat will require an Environmental Resource Report (ERR) approval from DSD Landscaping prior to Tentative Plat approval. It is acknowledge that a ERR was submitted with the DSMR application, however this supplemental information must be submitted with the Tentative Plat to ensure compliance of the plan sheets and Drainage Report.

3) Complied

4) DS Sec.2-03.2.4.K: Provide the Geotechnical Report that is required for this project. The soils report needs to discuss suitability and feasibility of the project and must provide specific discussion with recommendations for the proposed underground retention system, the design and use of this system will be largely based on the geotechnical report. Description of existing soil constraints for the site, structural design recommendations, and other typical geotechnical data is needed. The soil report shall provide identification / assessment of any potentially hazardous geotechnical areas. The Geotechnical Report shall specifically address all criteria listed in this section. Recommendations need to be incorporated into the Tentative Plat and Drainage Report. A Geotechnical Report was not submitted with the 2nd submittal.

5) Complied


TENTATIVE PLAT:

6) Complied

7) Tucson Code Sec 26-5.2.4: The proposed development can not unnecessarily alter the regulatory riparian habit that is located within the mapped 100-year regulatory floodplain that is contained on the entire property. The riparian vegetation is protected per DS 9-06.2.2.C.4. Review and approval for the disturbance and proposed mitigation is required by the Landscaping Department prior to Tentative Plat approval.

8) DS Sec.9-06.2.5.B.2: All development within the Protected Riparian Area shall be reviewed to insure that there is no unnecessary disturbance of the riparian resources. Refer to this section on Development Restrictions and revise the plans as necessary. Necessary development shall include only the crossing of riparian habitats with roadways, bikeways, paved walkways and utilities as listed below where there is no viable alternate crossing available and the crossing is necessary for the reasonable development of the property. A written explanation as to why the development is necessary shall be submitted with the appropriate plans. The Drainage Report and Tentative Plat indicate that a full build out of the property within the existing 100-year floodplain is proposed. This is not consistent with the provisions for "necessary development".

9) Complied. Tucson Code Sec 26-11: Acknowledged a Floodplain Use Permit (FUP) is required at Grading Plan submittal for the proposed grading and alteration of the mapped regulatory 100-year floodplain. Per Chapter 26 of the Tucson Code a Floodplain Use Permit is required for any improvements within a mapped 100-year floodplain provide FUP at grading plan submittal.
