26. D.S. 2-02.2.2 Calculations: Provide the following calculations on the site plan, see comment 3 above:

a) Gross lot area
b) Floor area for the building
c) Provide the allowed and provide floor area ratio (FAR). This calculation shown on sheet A0.2 is incorrect. The allowed FAR shown is 0.9, per LUC Sec 3.2.3.2.B, Development Designator "34", the allowed FAR is 2.0.
d) Vehicle parking space required and provided. The calculation shown on sheet A.02 is incorrect. Per LUC Sec. 3.3.6.1.B the required vehicle parking is based on one (1) space per three hundred (300) square feet of gross floor area. Also per a determination, the floor area where emergency vehicles are parking inside the building, does not count toward the gross floor area used in the required vehicle parking calculation. This said once the gross floor area, minus the interior emergency vehicle parking area, is clearly delineated on the site plan, zoning can verify the vehicle parking calculation. Per LUC Sec. 3.3.7.2.C.1 provide a calculation for the percentage of compact vehicle parking spaces proposed.
e) Handicapped parking spaces required and provided.
f) Bicycle parking space required and provide. The calculation shown on sheet A.02 is incorrect. Per LUC Sec. 3.3.4 eight (8) percent of the provided vehicle parking spaces, fifty (50) percent Class 1 and fifty (50) percent Class 2.
g) Loading spaces required and provided. For your information per a determination, the floor area where emergency vehicles are parking inside the building, does not count toward the gross floor area used in the required loading space calculation. This said once the gross floor area, minus the interior emergency vehicle parking area, is clearly delineated on the site plan, zoning can verify the loading space calculation.

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

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

If you have any questions about this transmittal, please contact me at Steve.Shields@tucsonaz.gov or (520) 837-4956.

RE: FIRE CENTRAL SITE ADA– 1ST REVIEW
CITY OF TUCSON LOG NO. T07CM03015
WILLDAN PROJECT NO. 16608-7007

The initial review for the above project has been completed. This letter contains comments which need to be addressed by written responses to each, indicating all actions taken. In order to facilitate a shorter second review, all corrections and revisions must be completed. Two complete new sets of prints, along with a redlined set from the previous review, must be delivered to our office. To avoid delays, ensure that all corrections have been made, are complete, and have been coordinated on all applicable detail and note sheets. Pen or pencil corrections on final prints are not acceptable.

This project has been reviewed for conformance with the City of Tucson Land Use Code 1995 and the City of Tucson Development Standards 2000 as amended and supplemented.

Should you have questions regarding the comments herein, please contact your plans examiners, David Williams, ADA.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
General
The plans show 20 parking spaces outside of the access gate and 1 accessible space. On the inside of the access gate the plans show 48 spaces and 2 accessible spaces. These ratios are correct yet the parking calculations on the plans call out 207 parking spaces. The spaces provided in the parking garage will be reviewed when the building plans are submitted.

All accessible parking spaces shall be designated as reserved by a sign showing the symbol of accessibility. Please detail a separate accessible sign for the car accessible space and the van accessible spaces.

Sheet C1.3
The width required for a van accessible parking is 11 feet. Please revise detail 7 to reflect this per Section 502.2 of the ANSI A117.

Sheet C1.4
Please add the max slope of 12:1 for the ramp detail number 5.


Sincerely,

WILLDAN

Site, Grading and Floodplain Reviews

The plans cannot be approved as submitted. The following comments must be addressed on each plan as applicable.
1. Provide an exhibit in the Drainage Report showing the existing and proposed floodplain boundaries. All areas subject to periodic inundation must be identified.
2. Revise the site plan to delineate the floodprone areas. The site plan should show the areas subject to inundation under existing condition and show the areas that will still be subject to periodic inundation once the improvements have been completed.
3. Provide existing and future water surface contours for all off-site and on-site concentrated flows. (Ensure that the lowest floor of each structure is at least one foot above the adjacent water surface contours.)
4. Provide sufficient spot elevations details to show that the underground parking garage will be kept flood-free.

The floodplain use permit and SWPPP will be approved when the site and grading plans are approved.
