| 04/27/2004 | Peter McLaughlin | ZONING | REVIEW | Denied | SITE PLAN TRANSMITTAL TO: Arquitecto E. J. Ornelas 100 N. Stone Ave #1002 Tucson, AZ 85701 (520) 624-8102 FROM: Peter McLaughlin Senior Planner Development Services Dept. FOR: Patricia Gehlen Principal Planner Development Services Dept. PROJECT: T04CM01179 El Merendero Plaza Retail and Wholesale Plaza 5433 S. 12th Avenue Site Plan Review (1st review) TRANSMITTAL: April 28, 2004 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. This project was reviewed as a change of use and greater than 25% expansion. Full code compliance is required for the entire site. DS 2-02 2. All lettering must be a minimum of 12 point (0.12"). Revise all lettering and dimensions which do not meet this minimum standard for microfilming/archiving. Note: Further comments may be necessary once all dimensions and text are legible. 3. Provide the maximum slope of the handicapped ramp and access aisles to be provided. ANS/ IBC 4. Add a note detailing the restrictions for the proposed retail use and the existing restaurant use. Retail General Merchandise Sales uses in the C-2 zone are subject to LUC 3.5.9.2.A. The restaurant use is subject to LUC 3.5.4.6.C and LUC 3.5.13.5. DS 2-02.2.1.A.31 LUC 2.5.4.2.B.12 5. The location map is inaccurate. List the Township and Range for the map and revise to show correctly the location and names of streets bordering section 1, T. 15 S, R 13 E. 12th Avenue runs along the west edge of section. Nebraska Street does not run along the north line of the section. Liberty Ave does not run along the east line of the section. Also, revise legal description in location map to be correct and complete, including all lot numbers (Lots 18 and 19). DS 2-02.2.1.A.2 6. Add a bicycle parking detail, which dimensions the bicycle parking layout, including maneuverability area on the plan per DS 2-09. DS 2-02.2.1.A.9 7. Please add any existing and proposed easements, their width and their recordation information (docket and page reference numbers) to the site plan. Dimension the width of the electrical easement (keynote 20). DS 2-02.2.1.A.20 8. Some keynotes are not correct or are not shown on the plan. For example, keynotes 14, 17 and 22 are not shown. Keynote 16 does not point to parking as stated in the site notes. Revise keynotes to be correct. 9. Dimension the width of all entrance/access drives. If the access drive from Canada street is one-way, signage must be provided to indicate "entrance only". Show the location of signage on the plan. DS 2-02.1A.13 10. No loading zone is shown on the site plan and it is indicated in the calculations that one is required and none are provided. A Board of Adjustment variance application approval is required for the waiver of loading zone requirement. Add the variance case number, date of approval, variances granted and conditions imposed to the notes. DS 2-02.2.1.A.38 DS 2-02.2.1.A.14 11. Dimension all bldg. setbacks clearly on the plan. Keynote 33 states "Setbacks-see zoning tables" but no setbacks are provided in zoning tables. Revise to provide required and proposed bldg. setbacks. The MS&R setback along 12th Avenue is required to be the greater of 21 feet or height, dimensioned from back of future curb location. The setback to adjacent R-2 zoning to the east is required to be 1-½ times the height of exterior structure wall. This setback is not met. The waiver of setback requirement can be rolled into the B.O.A. variance application (see comment 10). DS 2-02.2.1.A.38 LUC 3.2.6.4 LUC 3.2.6.5 12. Provide a copy of recorded cross-access and parking agreement between the two properties. Add docket and page information to the site plan for the agreement. The note under the drawing (adjacent to the north arrow) reads: "see cross section parking agreement (attached)" but no agreement was attached. Remove this note from the plan drawing and from the parking calculations, or clarify what it means. 13. Pedestrian circulation must be continuous and show direct connections between the buildings and adjacent rights-of way. Show pedestrian connection to 12th Avenue from the buildings. DS 2-08 14. Parking is not calculated correctly for the restaurant use. Revise calc to include all areas (excluding kitchen and storage) such as hallways and aisles. Revise the calculation to state the total square footage of the restaurant and provide a complete breakdown of public areas, subtracting out the square footage of the kitchen and storage areas in the calculation. LUC 3.3.4 LUC 2-02.2.2.A.4 15. In addition to the maximum allowed floor area ratio (FAR), provide a proposed (FAR) calculation to the plan. The FAR is calculated as the building gross floor area ÷ site area. Also, the maximum allowed FAR per development designator 31 is 0.90, not 0.75 as stated. Please revise. DS 2-02.2.2.A 16. Some of the existing parking for the restaurant portion of the site does not meet code and may not be counted toward meeting required parking for the site. Parking may not be located within the right-of-way, within required landscape borders, or within sight visibility triangles. Vehicles may not back out on to 12th Avenue (MS&R). Revise plan and parking calculations. If the revised vehicle parking calculation shows a deficit in parking then a board of adjustment variance will be required (see comment 10). LUC 3.3.4 17. Provide a future site plan showing how the site will meet code once 12th Avenue is widened. An MS&R covenant must be recorded along with the future site plan, once it is approved. Provide documentation of recorded covenant and plan prior to issuance of permits. Place a note on the plan stating that the project is designed to meet the criteria of Sec. 2.8.3, MS&R setback zone. LUC 2.8.3 18. Show the location, size and height of any proposed freestanding signage. Also, indicate if any billboards exist on the site. DS 2-02.2.1.13 19. If any angled parking is to be provided, add the degree of the angled parking to show that minimum code requirements are met. LUC 3.3.7.2 20. Label and dimension existing/ future curbs and sidewalks from 12th Avenue centerline. DS 2-02.2.1.A.21 If you have any questions about this transmittal, please call Peter McLaughlin, (520) 791-5608. |
