FROM: Steve Shields
Lead Planner

PROJECT: 5-POINTS GATEWAY PLAZA
T06CM06354
Site Plan (4th Review)

TRANSMITTAL DATE: October 8, 2007

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

1. This site plan was reviewed for compliance with the City of Tucson Development Standards (D.S.) and Land Use Code (LUC) for full code compliance.

2. Provide a copy of the DIID and MDR that waives this requirement prior to approval of the site plan. Again this comment was not fully addressed. Zoning acknowledges that there is a required setback line shown at thirty-two (32) feet. Based on the information provided on the site plan, i.e. under the SITE CALCULATIONS/INFORMATION, BUILDING HEIGHT 35'-0", the required setback would be thirty-five (35) feet. Zoning does not need to see the required setback on the plan, but would like to have the actual setback dimension for the proposed building. Provide a dimension from the back of curb to the proposed building wall. This comment was not fully addressed. Zoning acknowledges that the Historic Review (HPZ) and/or Downtown Infill Incentive District (DIID) may waive the required setback. If HPZ and DIID do not waive the setbacks a Board of Adjustment for Variance will be required. This said show the provided the setback dimensions on the site plan. D.S. 2-02.2.1.A.7 Per LUC Sec. 3.2.6.5.B the street setbacks for Sixth Avenue, Eighteenth Street and Arizona Avenue are 21 feet or the height of the building wall, which ever is greatest, measured from the back of existing curb.

3. Provide a copy of the DIID and MDR that waives this requirement prior to approval of the site plan. After a discussion with COT DSD Engineering staff it has been determined that Arizona Ave has a greater then 140 ADT. SVT's are required for both directions from the proposed one-way PAAL. This said it appears that there will be obstructions that encroach into the 30" to 6' area of both SVT's. If these SVT's are not waived then a DSMR will be required. Provide documentation that DIID has approved the proposed parking within the right-of-way along 18th St. and within the SVT, as shown on the site plan. SVT's are required for the one-way PAAL as it exits on to Arizona Ave. Zoning acknowledges that this was not addressed on the first review. This said it appears that the proposed 5' brick wall encroaches into the required SVT. Zoning acknowledges that a SVT has been provided at the northwest corner of 18th and Arizona. The provided parking along 18th encroaches into this SVT, per D.S. 3-01.5.1.A.1 the line of site will not be obscured between thirty (30) inches and six (6) feet. If this parking is allowed in the ROW a Development Standards Modification Request would be required to allow the vehicle parking within the SVT. D.S. 2-02.A.2.1.10 Zoning acknowledges that the existing sight visibility triangles (SVT's) are shown on the site plan for 6ht Avenue. Remove the future SVT's and reference to future right of way (ROW). Based on the current MS&R map Sixth Avenue is at future width. Provide SVT's for the exit PAAL on to Arizona Ave. Also provide SVT's for the intersections of 6th and 18th and 18th and Arizona Ave.

4. Provide a copy of the DIID and MDR that waives this requirement prior to approval of the site plan. Provide documentation that DIID has approved the proposed parking within the right-of-way along 18th St. and within the SVT, as shown on the site plan. This comment was not fully addressed. Zoning acknowledges that the Downtown Infill Incentive District (DIID) may allow the proposed parking within the right-of-way along 18th St. If DIID does not this parking a Board of Adjustment for Variance will be required. D.S. 2-02.A.2.1.12 Per LUC Sec. 3.3.7.5 the proposed parking along Eighteenth Street will require a Board of Adjustment Variance. If this variance is approved the parking will also need approval by the City Engineer prior to approval of the site plan.

5. Provide a copy of the DIID and MDR that waives this requirement prior to approval of the site plan. Provide documentation that DIID has waived the requirement for a loading zone. This comment was not fully addressed. Per LUC Sec 3.4.5.3 one (1) loading zone is required for this project. Zoning acknowledges that the Downtown Infill Incentive District (DIID) may allow the loading space to be removed from this project. If DIID does not waive the loading zone requirement a Board of Adjustment for Variance will be required. D.S. 2-02.A.2.1.14 Clearly delineate the maneuvering area for the loading zone on the plan.

6. Zoning acknowledges the parallel parking space. This said provide a copy of the DIID and MDR that waives this requirement prior to approval of the site plan. This comment has not been fully addressed. Again zoning is only able to count 20 total parking spaces provided. 15 within the ROW, and 5 on site for a total of 20. The parking calculation shows 21 provided, revise the parking calculation. This said, Zoning acknowledges that the Historic Review (HPZ) and/or Downtown Infill Incentive District (DIID) may waive the required for the other 37 parking spaces. If not a Board of Adjustment for Variance will be required. This comment was not fully addressed. Zoning acknowledges the revised parking calculation. This said the required parking "Food Service 3118 - 1/100GSF = 32" is incorrect. This calculation should require 31 vehicle parking space for a total of 57, revise parking calculation. The total number of parking spaces provide appears to be incorrect. Zoning is only able to count 20 vehicle parking spaces, clarify. D.S. 2-02.2.2.A.4 Until the proposed building square footage is clarified, see comment 32, the required parking cannot be verify.

7. The easement must be recorded prior to approval of the site plan. Provide the recordation information, docket and page, on the site plan. Zoning acknowledges that an easement will be recorded for the pedestrian access. Show this easement graphically on the site plan along with the recording docket and page. D.S. 2-02.A.2.1.12 Per D.S. 2-08.4.1.C a sidewalk is required between the parking spaces location along the south side of the building and the building. If this sidewalk is to be located partially on site and partially within the right of way and is used as the required pedestrian circulation along 18th then a pedestrian access easement is required for the portion of the sidewalk which is not located within the ROW.

8. Ensure that all changes to the site plan are reflected on the landscape plan.

9. Additional comments may be forth coming depending on how each comment has been addressed.

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

1. Sight visibility triangles are required for the entrance/exits drives and for the southeast corner of the development. For the entrance/exit drive for 6th Avenue a far side SVT with a length of 345'. For the entrance/exit drive for Arizona Avenue a near side SVT with a length of 185' and a far side length of 110' For the southeast corner of the property; the southbound travel lane on Arizona Avenue a far side SVT with a length of 110' and at the east bound travel lane on 18th Street a near side SVT with a length of 180' is required. Give the type of development the SVT requirement may be waved through the DIID, MDR process or a Development Standard Modification Request DSMR. Please refer to Randy Schuler (837.4905) for further information. If a DSMR process is preffered to wave this requirement it is recommended to seek preliminary approval from the DSMR reviewers. DS 2-02.2.1.A.10.

2. A street may not be used for maneuvering from a parking space. The City Engineer from the Department of Transportation must approve the parking spaces proposed along 18th Street. LUC 3.3.7.5.

The above comment will continue to be made until the Department of Transportation approves the design of the project through the Downtown In-fill Incentive District (DIID) process.

3. Delineate on the plan the maneuvering area for the loading space. The minimum requirement for a 30' single unit vehicle is an outside radius of 42' and inside radius of 28'. American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.

The above comment will continue to be made until the DIID process approves the design of the project.

4. Solid waste enclosures must be placed so that the collection vehicle does not back out into the ROW and into moving traffic. Arizona Ave is a public street and the current location of the solid waste vehicle does not meet minimum standards. Revise the site plan to meet the minimum standards for a solid waste accommodations. DS 6-01.4.1.I.

The above comment will continue to be made until the DIID process approves the design of the project.
