PROJECT NAME: Riderz Image
PROJECT ADDRESS: 409 West Ajo Way
PROJECT REVIEWER: Patricia Gilbert, Engineering Associate

The following items must be revised or added to the site plan. Please include a response letter with the next submittal that states how all comments have been addressed.

RESUBMITTAL REQUIRED: SITE PLAN

DRAINAGE REPORT IS ACCEPTABLE

1. Sidewalks must be flood free for up to the 10-yr. event. Add a note on the plan, "All roof down spouts on all structures must be routed under any adjacent sidewalk." DS 2-08.4.1.E.

2. Dimension the PAAL. Label the width of the PAAL. DS 2-02.2.1.A.11.

3. It is acknowledged that John Clark of the Environmental Services Department accepts the current design solid waste proposal. However the current proposal does not meet Development Standard 6-01 and will require a Development Standards Modification Request (DSMR). Please contact Patricia Gehlen, Community Design Review Committee (CDRC) Manager for DSMR submittal criteria.

4. Handicap curb access ramps are required to be constructed with truncated domes, per recent a Federal ADA requirement. Show a detail or add a general note to the site plan indicating all public and private handicap curb access ramps will have truncated domes.

5. It is not clear if the sidewalk within the ROW is being built in the existing ROW or the Future ROW sidewalk location. The sidewalk is required to be location within the future sidewalk location. Is the intent to use the existing ROW location and build the required 6' sidewalk once Ajo Way is widened to the future ROW? Clarify. A future ROW plan may be required.

6. Ajo Way is designated an arterial street per the MS&R Plan. 6' sidewalks are required when a project (development) is along an MS&R Street. Detail 9 on sheet 3 depicts a four foot sidewalk. Revise the detail and/or plan to show a 6' sidewalk along Ajo Way.

7. Entrance and exit drives crossing arterial streets are limited to two per 300' of street frontage along any major roadway. The nearest pavement edges spaced at least eighty feet apart. In effort to met this requirement close unused driveways and show adjacent driveways. For assistance on meeting this requirement please contact Dale Kelch with the Department of Transportation at 791-4001 extension 305. Written approval may be required. TAMG 5.4
02/16/2006 HEATHER THRALL ZONING REVIEW Denied DSD TRANSMITTAL

FROM: Heather Thrall Senior Planner FOR: David Rivera Principal Planner
PROJECT: T06CM00280
409 W. Ajo Way
Addition of storage area to retail location
Site plan
1st Review
Transmittal date: February 17, 2006

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. This project was reviewed in accordance with applicable divisions of the Land Use Code (LUC), Development Standard (DS), American National Standard (ANSI) and International Building Code 2003 (IBC). For reference, the Land Use Code can be found on the internet at www.ci.tucson.az.us/planning under Land Use Code. The Development Standard can be found at www.ci.tucson.az.us/dsd under Codes.

2. Per 3.4.3.7.B of the LUC, if an expansion of land area, floor area or vehicular use area is proposed greater than 25%, the entire site must meet current code requirements. This plan was reviewed under such circumstances.

3. The plan indicates a commercial storage use is planned for the new structure. However, the floor plan for the new structure shows a large work space area, which is not commercial storage use. The planned use on the site needs to be clearly stated on the plan before a proper review of the parking, loading, and bicycle parking ratios can be conducted. PLEASE INDICATE BOTH THE CURRENT AND PROPOSED USE OF THE SITE.

4. Per DS 2-02.2.1.4, please add the adjacent township, range and section numbers to the location map.

5. Per DS 2-02.2.1.6, for record purposes, please add the height of all existing buildings to the plan.

6. Per DS 2-02.2.1.7, the minimum setback for a commercial building in the C-2 zone abutting an R-2 zone is 1.5 times the height of the proposed exterior building wall. The setback for the proposed building at the south property line is insufficient. Per the elevation plans submitted, the exterior building walls are 12 tall from grade, which requires an 18' setback at minimum. Please revise the drawing accordingly. In addition, please clarify the 30 foot parapet statement under note 13. The elevation submitted shows a slightly pitched roof, not a parapet design. Please explain this notation.

7. Per DS 2-02.2.1.8, staff recognizes the submitted parking detail drawings - showing dimensions of parking spaces, handicapped parking spaces, handicapped access aisle, and relation of wheel-stops - meet code. The review of the appropriate number of parking spaces for the development will be done once the use of the site is clarified. NOTE: parking ratios are based upon the principal use of the site.

8. Per DS 2-02.2.1.9, and DS 2-09, the bicycle rack must be 72" in length to adequately run the length of a bicycle. Please revise the drawing accordingly.

Staff acknowledges the pedestrian access area around the bicycle rack is adequate.

Once the use of the site is clarified, the ratio of required bicycle spaces can be reviewed.

9. Per DS 2-02.2.1.12, please provide a typical detail drawing for a handicapped ramp. It appears the handicapped ramp at the east side of the PAAL on the north/east side of the site does not provide access to the sidewalk area leading to the buildings. It appears this handicapped ramp leads straight across the parking lot area without giving access to the site. Please amend the drawing accordingly.

In addition, it appears the handicapped access route to the building, from the proposed handicapped parking space, would be over extended - and compromised by incoming traffic. The individual must seek handicapped ramp access to the site by traveling north in the PAAL to the handicapped access ramp at the right of way area. Staff suggests moving the handicapped parking space and associated access aisle further south, towards the handicapped access ramps leading between the buildings. It would be a safer, more convenient route.

Per ANSI 503.3.1, Access aisles shall adjoin an accessible route. Please provide a marked crosswalk from the handicapped access aisle, across the PAAL, to the sidewalk/ramp adjacent to the building.

In addition, please provide truncated domes (early warning systems) at all points where transitioning from the sidewalk/ramps to a vehicular use area.


10. Per DS 2-02.2.1.13, the plan submitted does not show signage proposed at this time. Please be sure to clarify in the response letter if any free-standing (monument style, etc.) signage is planned, and show any such signage on dimensioned detail drawings, OR submit a statement that "any signage proposed on the building will be reviewed under a separate permit".

11. Per DS 2-02.2.1.14, a loading space is not shown for this project. Be advised, regardless of the use of the site, a loading zone is required due to the fact that over 1500 square feet of building area is planned for this development. The size of the loading space depends upon the use. For assistance with this criteria, please review section 3.4.5. of the LUC. Please amend the plan accordingly, noting that the waste removal space and a loading space are to be separate areas.

12. Per DS 2-02.2.1.20, please clarify the type of easement referenced at the south side of the site.

13. Per DS 2-02.2.1.21, please show/label the future curb along Ajo Way. The reference provided appears to show a future curb with the future right of way plan, however it is labeled as an existing curb.

14. Per DS 2-02.2.1.25, please clarify if any free-standing lighting planned for this project.

15. Per DS 2-02.2.2.A, this project currently consists of two separate lots, 409 W. Ajo (Parcel 120-07-3590) and 413 W. Ajo (Parcel 120-07-3600). These parcels cannot function independently from one another, thus a combination of these lots and associated covenants will be required for this development to proceed. To obtain a copy of the covenants, please log onto the Development Services web site at www.tucsonaz.gov/dsd/Forms To obtain a copy of the tax combination forms, please contact the Pima County Assessor's Office. Please submit copies of the lot combination and covenants with the resubmittal.

16. Please note, further comments may be forthcoming depending upon the response provided. Should you have any questions on this review, please contact me at Heather.Thrall@tucsonaz.gov or at 791-5550x1156.

If you have any questions about this transmittal, please call (520) 791-5608.
