FROM: Heather Thrall Senior Planner FOR: David Rivera Principal Planner


PROJECT: T05CM03820
7480 E. Speedway Blvd.
New Apartment Complex, 6 units
Site plan
1st Review
Transmittal date: September 7, 2005



COMMENTS: Please resubmit revised drawings along with redlines and a response letter, which states how all Zoning Review Section comments regarding the Land Use Code and Development Standards were addressed.

1. Per discussions with the applicants at the date of submittal, this project was reviewed as a new apartment complex, which is a site plan review. Please note: should the applicants desire to turn the apartments into individual properties for sale in the future, a tentative and final plat process will be required for the code review. Plat submittals are directed through the Community Design Review Committee (CDRC) Office at Development Services. Please contact Marilyn Kalthoff at 520-791-4541x1117 for submittal information. Please be advised, due to the proximity of the units in relation to each other, the only possible ways to split these units into separate lots in the future is via the condominium process or Residential Cluster Project (RCP), as 0 lot lines would be involved.

2. This project was reviewed in accordance with requirements of the Land Use Code (LUC), Development Standard (DS), American National Standard Institute (ANSI) and International Building Code 2003 (IBC). In particular, this plan was reviewed for compliance with site plan criteria required under DS Section 2-02.

3. Per DS 2-02.2.1.2, please provide the legal description for the property.

4. Per DS 2-02.2.1.3, please correct the situs address to read 7480 E. Speedway Boulevard.

5. Per DS 2-02.2.1.4, please correct the location map to meet standards outlined in DS 2-05.2.1.D (thought this section of the DS refers to Development Plans, the information given in this section for location maps is applicable to all commercial plans.) The drawing submitted does not have a scale, township, range or section data, or even highlights the correct property under review. In addition, add Pressyc Place to the location map as more detailed reference.

6. Per DS 2-02.2.1.5, please provide the overall lot dimensions and perimeter lot lines, with clear labels.

7. Per DS 2-02.2.1.6 & 7, list the setbacks required by LUC 2.4.3.2 designator "L", and the actual setbacks to be provided for the buildings. Note: the required building setback from all adjacent O-3 zoned property lines is equal to the height of the proposed exterior building wall.

Be sure to clarify if there are roof overhangs, and their dimensions, if applicable.

Provide building height, as measured from grade to both the exterior building walls, and the top of the roofs.

List the zoning classifications for all adjacent sites.

Provide distances between buildings as well.

Please ensure all typeface on the site plan is revised to a minimum of 12 point, to ensure records can be kept efficiently.

8. Per DS 2-02.2.1.8, parking ratios are to be provided per the ratio mandated in the LUC, section 3.3.4. In particular, the number of parking spaces required on a residential site is based upon the number of bedrooms. The plan does not indicate the number of bedrooms planned for each unit. Please revise the plan to indicate the number of bedrooms for each unit, and refer to page 226 of the LUC for the parking breakdown required for the project. Further comments on this issue may be forthcoming.

As this project is for an apartment complex, please remove all references of subdivision calculations from the plan - including the general notes listed. Please ensure the revised plan just reflects apartment complex development notations.

9. Per DS 2-02.2.1.8 and DS 3-05.2.1.B.2, the minimum size of a parallel parking space is 8 feet by 23 feet. As the plan shows these offered spaces at a length of only 22 feet, the plan needs to be revised.

Per DS 3-05.2.2.D, a back up spur must be provided at the end of a row of parking spaces where no ingress/egress is provided. Please revise the plan accordingly.

10. Per DS 2-02.2.1.8, provide specifications/dimensions for any handicapped parking spaces offered. Note, should handicapped parking spaces be provided, they must meet standards outlined in ANSI Chapters 4 & 5. In addition, a crosswalk would be required with handicapped access ramps and truncated domes (early warning systems) where transitioning from vehicle use areas to handicapped access and pedestrian access aisles.

Please note, should the applicants desire to convert this apartment complex to an RCP subdivision, 25% of the lots must be barrier free in accessibility from the street to the entry to the unit. It is further recommended all units be developed as barrier free, with sidewalks shown from the sidewalk along the PAAL to the unit entries.

11. Per DS 2-02.2.1.9, provide specification drawings, fully dimensioned, for required bicycle parking. Please refer to DS 2-09 for bicycle parking requirements.

12. Per DS 2-02.2.1.10, provide existing and proposed Sight Visibility Triangle information.

13. Per DS 2-02.2.1.11 and DS 3-05.2.1.C, the minimum width of a two-way Parking Area Access Lane (PAAL) is 24 feet. Please revise the plan accordingly.

NOTE: Should the applicants desire to convert this complex into a subdivision, a street with parking on both sides should be provided. The design presented would not be possible without Development Standard Modification Requests (DSMR) approved to allow parking on just one side.

14. Per DS 2-02.2.1.12 and DS 2-08, as pedestrian access must be provided throughout the development, please provide a crosswalk and handicapped access ramps with truncated domes at the entrance to the complex (parallel to Pressyc Place). Please refer to ANSI Chapters 4 & 5 for details and specifications for the access ramps. Please be sure to label and dimension the access ramps on the revised site plan.

15. Per DS 2-02.2.1.13, if applicable, please provide specifications for any proposed signage, billboards and free-standing lighting on the revised site plan.

16. Per DS 2-02.2.1.19, provide dimensioned right of way information for Speedway Boulevard, including location of future curb. Please note, further review comments on this issue may be forthcoming.

17. Per DS 2-02.2.1.31, please clarify the current use (vacant, etc.) of the property on the revised plan.

18. Per DS 2-02.2.2.A.1, provide the gross and net (after development) area in square feet.

19. Per DS 2-02.2.2.A.3, provide lot coverage calculations, expressed in both square feet and percentages. Lot coverage includes all vehicle use areas and buildings. NOTE: the maximum lot coverage allowed for this development is 75 percent. Please add density calculations to the revised site plan, noting the maximum density allowed is 22 units per acre.

20. Please note, depending upon the responses provided, further review comments may be forthcoming. Should you have any questions regarding this review, please contact me via email at Heather.Thrall@tucsonaz.gov or at 520-791-4541x1156.
