4. Continuous pedestrian circulation must be provided when a structure is adjacent to a PAAL.
A minimum setback distance of 5' feet for a pedestrian refuge area must be maintained with a 4' sidewalk. The solid waste enclosure blocks continuous pedestrian circulation. Provide a sidewalk between the solid waste enclosure and the structure. DS 3-05.2.2.B.1., Figure 1 and DS 2-08.4.1.B.

5. In addition to the above comment the proposed class II bicycle parking on the south side of the building blocks continuous pedestrian circulation and the sidewalk. Revise the site plan to show continuous pedestrian circulation without obstructions.

Because this project has multiple phases this project falls under the "part of a larger common plan" rule. The Arizona Pollulant Discharge Elimination System General Permit for Discharge from Construction Activities describes any construction activity that will disturb less than one (1) acre of total land area but is part of a larger common plan of development or sale that will ultimately disturb equal to or greater than one (1) acre and less than five (5) acres is subject to the requirements of the AzPDES.
