Site Plan (1st Review)

TRANSMITTAL DATE: June 30, 2009

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 code full compliance for the area of expansion only.

2. Provide documentation that shows that the "EXISTING SHADE STRUCTURE" was permitted.

3. Provide documentation that shows that the "EXISTING 5'-8" PERIMETER WALL" was permitted. Based on the site plan provided it appears the wall encroaches into the property to the east. This encroachment will need to be corrected prior to approval of this site plan.

4. There is a note on the plan that states "EXISTING PLAYGOUND (PAVED FORMER PARKING AREA". Based on the last approved site plan this area was a "PROPOSED PLAYGOUND", that said remove the reference to "(PAVED FORMER PARKING AREA" from the plan.

5. D.S. 2-02.2.1.A.6 There appears to be an overhang on the proposed building. If this is the case label it as such.

6. D.S. 2-02.2.1.A.7 The proposed structure does not meet the required side street perimeter yard setback. Per LUC Section 3.2.6.5.A for a side street perimeter yard a minimum of 10'-0" is required to the north property line, 0'-0" is provided. A Design Development Option (DDO) is required. For your information there may be a required 10'-0" landscape buffer yard along the north side of the proposed structure which may require a Board of Adjustment for a Variance, see landscape comments.

7. D.S. 2-02.2.1.A.7 There is a dimension of "1'-4"" at the northeast corner of the proposed structure. This dimension appears to be a dimension to the property line but does not align with the property line, please clarify.

8. D.S. 2-02.2.1.A.7 The proposed 400 S.F. shade structure does not meet the required side street perimeter yard setback. Per LUC Section 3.2.6.5.A for a side street perimeter yard a minimum of 10'-0" is required to the north property line. As a setback dimension was not provided Zoning cannot provide a complete DDO comment as this time.

9. D.S. 2-02.2.1.A.7 The proposed 500 S.F. shade structure does not meet the required front street perimeter yard setback. Per LUC Section 3.2.6.5.A for a front street perimeter yard a 20'-0" or one and one-half (1 1/2) the height of the proposed wall (H), measured from the street property line, whichever is greater, is required to the west property line. As a setback dimension was not provided Zoning cannot provide a complete DDO comment as this time.

11. D.S. 2-02.2.1.A.13 If applicable show any existing and/or proposed signage on the plan along with the type, size and height.

12. D.S. 2-02.2.1.A.19 Provide the right-of-way dimensions for both streets on the plan.

13. D.S. 2-02.2.1.A.28 Provide the zoning for the parcels located west of 1st Avenue.

14. D.S. 2-02.2.1.A.28 The zoning shown for the property located to the south is not correct, this should be labeled as R-2.

15. D.S. 2-02.2.1.A.31 The development designator shown is not correct, the correct development designator is 29.

16. D.S. 2-02.2.2.A.3 Based on a development designator 29 the floor area ratio (FAR) shown is not correct. Per LUC Section 3.2.3.2.B the FAR is 0.50.

17. D.S. 2-02.2.2.A.4 Zoning acknowledges that the provided bicycle parking meets the minimum required but the bicycle parking calculation is not correct. Per LUC Section 3.3.3.5 Bicycle Parking Requirements. If the calculated number of required bicycle parking spaces is less than two (2), the minimum number of required spaces is two (2). This said revised the calculation to show two (2) required, two (2) provided.

18. D.S. 2-02.2.2.A.6 Provide a building expansion calculation on the plan.

19. The allowed wall height is not correct. Per LUC Section 3.2.3.2.B the maximum building height is 30'.

20. Depending on how the above comments are addressed addition comments may be forth coming.
