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 review is under Development Standards 2-02 for site plans. The zone for this site is C-2 and the use is Construction Services (LUC Section 2.5.4.2.A.8). The Development Designator is "30" and the Perimeter Yard Indicator is DD (LUC Sections 3.2.3.2.B and 3.2.6.4). The expansion for this site is greater than twenty-five percent (25%) and requires full code compliance.

2. Please provide complete dimensions for the existing building and its location depicting all setbacks (DS 2-02.2.1.A.6). Please provide the last approved site plan to confirm the portions of the structure identified as existing. [See comment # 15.]

3. The off street parking area must be fully dimensioned. Such things as the parking area access lane (PAAL), the back-up spur and the distance from the back-up spur to the property line are require dimensions (DS 2-02.2.1.A.8). The minimum width of the PAAL is twenty-four feet (24'-0") (DS 3-05.2.1.C.1 and LUC 3.3.7.2). The minimum depth of the back-up spur is three feet (3'-0") with three foot (3'-0") radii. The minimum distance from the back-up spur to the property line or any obstruction is also three feet (3'-0") (DS 3-05.2.2.D & Fig 2). There must be wheel barriers or a six-inch curb to prevent encroachment onto any unpaved areas adjacent to the vehicle use areas. The minimum distance between a PAAL and any property line or any other obstruction is two feet (2'-0") (DS 3-05.2.B.3). Provide the minimum setback between the vehicle use area and the property line to the south.

4. Please dimension the pedestrian refuge area between the building and parking spaces 4 and 5 (DS 2-02.2.1.A.12, DS 3-05.2.2.B.1 and Fig 1).

5. Identify the type of lighting and paving materials for the bicycle parking and state the number of bicycles the rack supports (DS 2-02.2.1.A.9). The minimum length for each bicycle parking space is six feet (6'-0") (DS 2-09.6.1.B). Please provide this dimension on either the plan or the detail.

6. Please provide the "location, type, size, and height of all existing and proposed signage (DS 2-02.2.1.A.13). Also identify any billboards on the site or on any adjacent sites.

7. There appears to be no real access to the loading space. The loading space is blocked by the trash dumpster and the loading space blocks access to one of the garage parking spaces. A clearly defined maneuvering area is required for a loading space (DS 2-02.2.1.A.14).

8. If applicable, all easements of record must be depicted and dimensioned on the plan with the use identified along with the recording docket and page reference (DS 2-02.2.1.A.20).

9. If applicable, provide the type and location of any free-standing lighting (DS 2-02.2.1.A.25).

11. Please revise the lot area calculation. The dimensions provide a square footage of 9,600 square feet and the Pima County Assessor Property Inquiry also states that the square footage of this parcel is 9,600. The square footage identified on the site plan is 9,632. Please revise the plan and all the relevant calculations for correctness and consistency (DS 2-02.2.2.A.1).

12. The expansion number and the floor area are not all together consistent. The expansion square footage is 1,684 but the proposed covered structure is only 948.8 square feet. Please identify each area of expansion and list the square footage for each area (DS 2-02.2.2.A.2).

13. Please revise the floor area ratio (FAR) for this site plan (DS 2-02.2.2.A.3).

14. The required parking is based upon the principle use. Storage is not the principle use and cannot be used for any of the parking calculation. The previous use for this site was retail (The Pottery Barn) and the actual propose use is construction service. (See comment # 1.) The required parking for Construction Services is one space for every two hundred fifty (250) square feet GFA (LUC Section 3.3.4). Please revise the required parking calculation on the plan (DS 2-02.2.2.A.4).

15. Please provide the last approved site plan and building plans so that expansion calculation can be confirmed (DS 2-02.2.2.A.6). [See comment # 2.]

16. A Certificate of Occupancy is required for the current use of this site.
