ACTIVITY: T06CM02271


SUMMARY: Engineering Division of Development Services Department has received and reviewed the submitted site plan and Geotechnical Engineering Report. The site plan is not approved at this time. Please address the following comments:


DRAINAGE REPORT:

1) DS Sec.10-02.2.1.1: A Drainage Report is required for any site greater than one acre and for any site that is subject to detention requirements. The subject property is located in a balanced basin area the submitted Drainage Report must show that the post developed Q100 discharge is less than the existing Q100 discharge. 5-year threshold retention must be incorporated within all commercial developments larger than 1 acre in size. Please refer to DS Sec.10-02.2.3.1 for Drainage Report content and format requirements.

2) DS Sec. 10-02.14.5.9: The Drainage Report must show a factor of safety of 2 for the dry well within the basin. For detention/retention systems, which utilize a method of subsurface disposal the Drainage Report must show that the basin meet the minimum criteria, items 1-9 in DS Sec.10-02.14.5 and items 1-7 in DS Sec.10-01.3.5.5. If the Drainage Report does not include the dry well then it must be closed off and infiltration rates need to be addressed.

3) DS Sec.2-03.2.4.K: Either provide separately, or show a conceptual grading plan on the Site Plan, with the resubmittal of the Site Plan and 1st submittal of the Drainage Report. The conceptual grading plan is required on this project due to the subsurface disposal system and detention basins with the proximity to building setbacks. A revised Geotechnical Report is required. The soils report needs to discuss suitability and feasibility of the project. Description of existing soil constraints for the site, structural design recommendations, pavement design section, and other typical geotechnical data is needed. The soils report shall provide identification / assessment of any potentially hazardous geotechnical areas, provide proposed recommendations for setbacks from building to drainage areas include minimum distance from foundations to drainage swales, and provide infiltration test results. The geotechnical report shall specifically address all criteria listed in this section. See last sentence of this section for items 6 (c) & (d) regarding hydro-collapsing soils and 30-foot test boring for basin design. Recommendations need to be incorporated into the conceptual grading plan, Site Plan, and Drainage Report.

FROM: Heather Thrall
Senior Planner

PROJECT: T06CM02271
155 W. Valencia, New Dollar General Retail Store
Commercial Site Plan

TRANSMITTAL DATE: June 16, 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 for compliance with the Land Use Code (LUC), Development Standard (DS), American National Standard Institute (ANSI) and International Building Code 2003 (IBC). Specifically, this project was reviewed for compliance with site plan requirements of DS 2-02.

2. For record keeping purposes, please enlarge all typeface to 12 point lettering.

3. Per DS 2-02.2.1.2, please provide a legal description for the property. Staff noted the property is listed as being subject to a lot split in 2005 under Pima County Assessor's records. Please provide any lot split plans that have been approved through the city review process, as required.

4. Please revise the location map to meet standards outlined in DS 2-05 - this list will assist with drawing the location map for the site plan.

5. Per DS 2-02.2.1.6, provide height notation - design grade to top of roof, clarify if any parapet walls are proposed and give their overall height from design grade. The C-1 allows a maximum building height of 30 feet.

6. Per DS 2-02.2.1.7, keep in mind after addressing comment 5, the south building setback, at minimum, must be equal to 1.5 times the height of the exterior building wall, as the adjacent site to the south is zoned R-3.

Call out the nearest edge of travel lane on Missiondale. The setback off a developing area street (Missiondale connects to a Major Streets and Routes) is the greater of 21 feet or the height of the structure from the nearest edge of travel lane.

Call out the future curb location along Valencia. The north setback for the building is the greater of 21 feet or the height of the structure from the back of the future curb. (Staff acknowledges the north setback distance is not an issue.)

Provide actual building setback dimensions for all sides of the buildings, for consistency with records keeping.

7. Per DS 2-02.2.1.8, with regards to parking:
A) provide parking bumpers on west side of building to ensure 4' wide pedestrian access between the parking and the building area is not compromised.
B) Provide typical detailed drawing example of all parking spaces to a dimension of 8.5 feet wide (minimum) and 18 feet in length (minimum).
C) Parking areas must be a minimum of 15.5 deep in length with an additional 2.5 feet of vehicle overhang accommodated for - a total of 18 feet in length. Revise the parking spaces that have a 4 feet deep "interruption" at the north and west side of the site to meet these requirements (parking spaces 44/45 and 21/22).
D) Parking space 12 appears to be insufficient in length due to the adjacent dumpster's position conflicting with maneuverability when the dumpster enclosure doors are opened.
E) Provide back up spur to standards of 3-05 at the east end of the east parking lot.
F) Provide parking calculations for retail use, per LUC 2.3.4. (1:200 ratio)
G) Provide wheel stops for handicapped parking spaces to ensure signs are not compromised.
H) Provide 7' height notations for post between grade and bottom of handicapped parking sign
I) Provide $518.00 fine notation for handicapped parking sign

8. Per DS 2-02.2.1.9, provide bicycle parking per LUC 2.3.4. parking ratios for retail establishments. Be sure to provide typical detail drawings for both the class 1 and class 2 bicycle storage areas - with dimensions.

9. Per DS 2-02.2.1.11, provide width of the PAAL at south side of site near dumpster location.

10. Per DS 2-02.2.1.12 and Per DS 2-08, regarding sidewalks:
A) provide pedestrian access from each street to the building.
B) Provide clarification if sidewalks are raised from asphalt - with height difference (sidewalks must have physical separation from the asphalt)
C) Provide early warning systems (truncated domes) on the handicapped ramps
D) Dimension landing adjacent to handicapped ramp, include distance from ramp edge to edge of open door (to building). ANSI access stipulates a 4' clear landing.

11. Per DS 2-02.2.1.13, clarify if any free-standing signage is proposed with dimensions.

12. Per DS 2-02.2.1.14, this use/building size requires 1 loading zone, striped at a dimension of 12x35 feet at minimum. Revise plan to provide loading zone.

13. Per DS 2-02.2.1.19, per the Major Streets and Routes map, the maximum right of way for Valencia Road is 150 feet. Please provide a future site plan detail to show how the site will meet code should Valencia widen. Please identify where the centerline, travel lane, and curb are - with the distance between the curb and the property line clarified.

14. Per DS 2-02.2.1.20, please show any easements with related recordation information.

15. Per DS 2-02.2.1.25, please show any free-standing lighting with measurements and elevation details.

16. Per DS 2-02.2.1.28, please show the zoning of adjacent parcels.

17. Per DS 2-02.2.1.31, please identify the site as currently vacant.

18. Per DS 2-02.2.2.A.2. please provide Floor Area Ratio calculations, not to exceed .35, and include lot size information.

19. Please provide a note "this project is subject to requirements of LUC 2.5.3.6.B, all uses must be contained entirely within an enclosed building."

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

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