Oracle Road, New Office/Retail Commercial Site plan, 1st review TRANSMITTAL DATE: March 3, 2008 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 Standards (DS), American National Standards Institute (ANSI), Tucson City Code 20-222, and International Building Code 2006 (IBC). Specifically, this project was reviewed for site plan content specified in DS 2-02. 2. Per DS 2-02.2.1.2, the Assessor's maps show that several lot lines have been moved or split regarding this property and adjacent properties. Please provide documentation that the city reviewed these lot changes and approved them. 3. Per DS 2-02.2.1.5, please provide the dimension of the south property line. 4. Per DS 2-02.2.1.6, regarding buildings: A) please declare the type of roof B) please declare how you are measuring building height - please note that building height for zoning is measured from finished grade to the top of a flat roof - then provide parapet height. Or from finished grade to midpoint of a gable - then declare peak height. C) Please call out any roof overhangs/awnings/porches in a dashed line and declare vertical clearance D) Please provide a north/south -length wise -dimension for the 2nd story - for permits 5. Per DS 2-02.2.1.7 - regarding setbacks: A) please call out the travel lane location for Blacklidge Drive, call out any parking lane as well please. B) For records, please add notes to the building setbacks that state the "minimum required building setback from the back of the future curb of Miracle Mile is the greater of 21' or the height of the exterior building wall". And add "minimum building setback from the travel lane of Blacklidge is 21' or the height of the exterior building wall." C) Please keep in mind that the wall heights for setbacks are measured from grade, thus your setback notes may change on the resubmittal if you've noted it from finished floor. D) I do acknowledge the building meets setbacks. 6. Per DS 2-02.2.1.8, regarding parking: LUC 3.3.4. under retail and office uses: A) parking for retail uses are 1:200 ratio, please correct on the calculations B) please list the two uses out separately in the parking calculations - retail and office C) please indicate that office on the first floor is 1:200 ratio for parking, whereas office on the 2nd floor is permitted to be reduced to 1:250 ratio for parking. D) Per the square footages you provided, it appears the development needs more parking spaces than provided. I calculated a need of 44 spaces, with 42 provided. E) On sheet 2, parking detail 9, please relocate the truncated domes. They need to be placed on the concrete in a two foot wide strip - where the concrete transitions to the asphalt access aisle. F) I acknowledge all other parking aspects are designed to code, thank you. 7. Per DS 2-02.2.1.9, regarding bicycle parking A) the increase in parking spaces that should occur for the development will then translate into needing an additional bicycle parking space. Revisit calculation as well please. B) DS 2-09.4.1 requires that class 2 bike parking is provided within 50 to the main entrance(s) to the building. Given that we have multiple tenants here, it is a necessity to disperse the bicycle parking more evenly at each end of the front of the building to allow each tenant to have a bicycle space within 50' of their entrance. C) I acknowledge the design of the bicycle parking spaces meets code, thank you. 8. Per DS 2-02.2.1.11, regarding PAALs: A) please provide a minimum 24' wide PAAL dimension from the curb near the bicycle parking spaces to the vehicle parking space diagonally to the northwest. B) Please provide dimensions for the back up spurs at both the north and south ends of the parking lots, ensuring at least 3' back up spur is provided on each side, DS 3-05. 9. Per DS 2-02.1.12 regarding handicapped and pedestrian access: A) Per DS 2-08.3.1, pedestrian access to the USE of the dumpster is required. I see the sidewalk leading to the back side of the dumpster, however, pedestrian access to actually use the dumpster at the front is not provided. Perhaps a gate at the back of the dumpster will assist, or provide a protected pedestrian accessible route to the front of the dumpster. Ensure any gate is 4' wide to meet DS 2-08 - and ensure that engineering standards on the dumpster enclosure requirements are met. 10. Per DS 2-02.2.1.13, please call out any free-standing signage with specifications. 11. Per DS 2-02.2.1.20, please ensure all easements are depicted graphically, and ensure recordation information is provided with docket and page reference. 12. Per DS 2-02.2.1.25. please show any free-standing lighting with vertical clearances if near vehicular use areas. 13. Per DS 2-02.2.2.A.3, please provide the Floor Area Ratio calculation, rather than a lot coverage calculation. 14. Please note that further comments may be forthcoming, depending upon responses provided. I may be reached at Heather.Thrall@tucsonaz.gov or 837-4951.
