| 07/10/2009 | MATT FLICK | ENGINEERING | REVIEW | Completed | PDSD Engineering has no objection or adverse comment to the approval of a Special Exception for this subdivision. The proposed Mosaic Court subdivision consists of two sites located in the vicinity of South Wilmot and East Stella Roads. Both sites lie within the Julian Wash watershed. Since the sites lie within a balanced basin and have a proposed density greater than 3 RAC, both detention and 5-year threshold retention are required. The PDP for both sites indicate construction of a detention/retention basin. Neither site lies within a mapped 100-year floodplain. Matt Flick, P.E.

| 07/20/2009 | DCORRAL1 | COMMUNITY PLANNING | REVIEW | Completed | URBAN PLANNING AND DESIGN SE-09-13 Mosaic Court-Wilmot - Road, O-3 & C-1 South Pantano Area Plan (Ward 5) July 6, 2009 msp The special exception request is to allow two undeveloped parcels to be considered for a residential development, utilizing the residential cluster option (RCP). Since each parcel is under five-acres in size, a special exception procedure is required. The parcels are located east of Wilmot Road and south of Stella Road and are within the city of Tucson "mid-city" growth area. The parcels are approximately 275 feet apart, but are being proposed as a single-family residential development under one subdivision plat with 48 lots. One parcel is located at 3315 S. Wilmot Road with approximately 3.13-acres, zoned C-1. The second parcel fronts Stella Road with approximately 2.66-acres, zoned O-3. Based on their respective underlying zones, the C-1 zoned 3.13 acre parcel is proposed with the RCP-9 option and the O-3 zoned 2.66-acre parcel with the RCP-8 option. The respective land uses and zones surrounding the two parcels are the following; 1) Adjacent to and north the of Wilmot Road parcel is O-3 zone with multi-family development, to the east is O-3 zone with single-family detached homes, to the south is C-1 zone with a Disabled American Veterans Headquarters, and across Wilmot Road to the west is the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base with single-family residential development along the perimeter. 2) To the east and south of the parcel fronting Stella Road is O-3 zone with single-family residential development, to the north across Stella Road is R-1 zone with single-family residential development, and to the west is O-3 zone with multi-family residential development. The special exception site is located within the boundary of the South Pantano Area Plan (SPAP). The SPAP, the General Plan, and Design Guidelines Manual provide guidance for this special exception request. Policy Summary The South Pantano Area Plan provides guidance and the two parcel site is within Subarea 3, a three-square mile area mostly built out with suburban density, single-family residential development. The area has approximately 15% of the land undeveloped with most of it located along Golf Links and Wilmot Road. Subarea 3 has 5% percent commercially zoned properties of which 80% has vacancy/undeveloped status. The Plan recommends consideration of these under utilized commercial properties prior to any new commercial rezonings. The parcel fronting Wilmot Road is C-1, a commercial zone parcel and commercial business have not been attracted to this area probably due to lack of arterial street connectivity. The C-1 zoned special exception site fronts onto a portion of Wilmot Road that extends south of Golf Links but terminates adjacent to a Davis-Monthan Air force Base boundary. SPAP general policies support residential infill within established neighborhoods and promotes flexible residential clustering designs. The General Plan encourages new residential development that contributes to the visual character of the neighborhood and promotes neighborhood identity. Policies promote quality and safety in design, and compatibility with and adequate buffering of surrounding development. Analysis: Since the acceptance date of this application, the RCP review and related development criteria has been superseded by the "Flexible Lot Development (FLD) option. However, based on "protected development rights" established for development projects already in progress, this application will be reviewed under the criteria and requirements of a residential cluster project (RCP) as previously allowed under the Land Use Code (LUC) Section 3.6.1. An RCP submittal permits a residential development to have a greater flexibility and creativity in the architectural and design of the residential development. An RCP project must comply with LUC, Section 3.6.1.4.3, which requires compliance with the applicable area plan, in this case the South Pantano Area Plan, the General Plan and the Design Guideline Manual. In addition, the proposed RCP project is less than five acres in size and must comply with LUC Section 3.6.1.1. which requires the architectural design to conform with at least six (6) of the "purpose and intent" statement as stated in Sec. 3.6.1.1. RCP projects shall landscape all areas outside of individual use areas, provide barrier free accessibility on at least twenty-five (25) percent of the units and mitigate issues such as but not limited to; lighting, parking, balconies, A/C units, and any other noise-producing activities from adjoining residential developments. An RCP designed development should provide on-site recreational amenities and an over-all efficient on-site pedestrian circulation system to allow ease of circulation and use of recreational amenities. The proposed tentative plan and landscape plan provide a partial sidewalk system and "greencourts easements which will function as common front yard areas to back-loaded lots. However, the proposed landscape plan does not include landscape material within these pedestrian "greencourts." It is important to provide micro-climate oasis along pedestrian paths to protect pedestrians from extreme weathers. The complete pedestrian system should be a continuous loop if possible and should tie any proposed pedestrian greencourt, concrete sidewalks, and recreational amenity areas together. The pedestrian circulation system should be an all-weather surface and handicap accessible to allow year round use of on-site amenities and encourage pedestrian activities within the development. As submitted, no amenities have been provided in the proposed RCP development and a strong point in the flexibility and creativity design are on-site amenities. Although the design compatibility report states the applicant will contribute in-lieu fees toward City parks, unless existing City recreational facilities are located within walking distance of the site, staff recommends common areas "B" which have usable open space to include amenities. At least one common area per parcel should include recreational amenities. Recreational amenities should include a range of recreational equipment to allow families with members of all ages to enjoy them. RCP of less than five acres are required to be compatible with existing residential developments located within the same block, corner block or across a street. Although the design compatibility report states floor plans, models, and elevations have been provided by separate cover, the special exception submittal does not include such material. Staff will require four sided architectural elevations, color palette or other documentation prior to tentative plat approval to determine compatibility with adjacent residential uses. The proposal to develop an RCP within a site of less than five acres is in general compliance with the policy direction of South Pantano Area Plan, the General Plan, and the guidance provided by the Design Guideline Manuel, staff recommends the following special exception conditions be considered as RCP mitigating measures and design standards to create a sustainable clustered residential development: 1. Prior to tentative plat approval, tentative plat to provide scaled, and in color four-sided building elevations, color pallet naming paint color and paint codes, as part of the submittal of the tentative plat to demonstrate compliance with RCP requirements on sites of less than five acres in size. Tentative plat submittal to include color photos of adjacent residential units on bordering residential developments and an areial map that identifies the location and position of each photo taken.

| 07/28/2009 | NSTEVEN1 | REZ AGENCY REVIEW | OFFICE OF CONSERVATION & SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT | Completed | Office of Conservation and Sustainable Development Ann Audrey, Environmental Projects Coordinator Recommended approval with the following condition: General Site Inventory and Design Compatibility Report must address water harvesting more thoroughly. Applicant was informed at their pre-submittal meeting (April 2009) that they must comply with LUC requirements for rainwater harvesting and consult with the Office of Conservation and Sustainable Development regarding water harvesting planning. A consultation has not occurred, and the while the report mentions they will comply with water harvesting requirements "wherever feasble" (page 43), evidence of such compliance is not integrated into the report. For example, the applicants report states there will be no landscaping in the proposed detention areas, while the presubmittal meeting comments address the need for water harvesting (and by implication, associated planting) in common areas, permeter buffer areas and any retention/detention basins. Report should be revised to reflect that water harvesting will be integrated throughout the site including all common areas, parking lot planting areas, street ROW planting areas, detention areas, landscape buffers, and other vegetated areas. In addition, it is emphasized to the applicant that water harvesting must be incorporated into their plan submittal such that civil engineers, landscape architects and landscape installers are all clear on what is supposed to happen and where it is to happen. A separate plan sheet addressing water harvesting, that is referenced by the grading plan and landscape plan, is a preferred way to meet this requirement. Information should include cross sections of water harvesting areas, clear delineation of where the water harvesting areas will be, and arrows showing draining into and out of water harvesting areas.

| 08/19/2009 | DCORRAL1 | REZ AGENCY REVIEW | OTHER AGENCIES | Completed | Pima County Development Services Pima County has reviewed the above-mentioned proposed Special Exception and has the following comment: CULTURAL RESOURCES DEPARTMENT REPORT I have reviewed the submitted materials for the City of Tucson (COT) request for Special Exception - Full Notice Procedure, SE-09-13 Mosaic Court -Wilmot Road. The City of Tucson is considering a request for Special Exception for rezoning a proposed development project at 3315 South Wilmot Drive (tax parcel code # 136-37-150; 3.09 acres). The submitted Tentative Plat Preliminary Development Plan submitted for this review indicates a proposed residential development on this property. The subject property is located southeast of the intersection of South Wilmot road and East Stella Road, in Township 14 South, Range 15 East, Section 30. A review of County cultural resources records was conducted, revealing that the subject property has not been previously surveyed. However, nearby areas have been surveyed, including a small block survey to the east-southeast in 2003 (ASM Project Number 2003-1582.ASM), and a linear survey was conducted in 1995 that passed by the north, east, and southeast of the property (ASM Project Number 1995-325.ASM). No archaeological or historic sites were recorded in these surveys and none are known within or near the subject property. In addition, the Cultural Element of the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan designates the area with low archaeological sensitivity. I have the following recommendations. COT should be aware of the cultural resources sensitivity of the proposed development property and appropriate measures should be taken before any ground-disturbing construction occurs. Once development construction commences, state laws protecting cultural resources and human remains should be enforced. In the event that human remains, including human skeletal remains, cremations, and/or ceremonial objects and funerary objects are found during excavation or construction, ground-disturbing activities must cease in the immediate vicinity of the discovery. State Laws ARS 41-865 and/or ARS 41-844 require that the Arizona State Museum be notified of the discovery at (520) 621-4795 so that appropriate arrangements can be made for the repatriation and reburial of the remains by cultural groups who claim cultural or religious affinity to them. The human remains will be removed from the site by a professional archaeologist pending consultation and review by the Arizona State Museum and the concerned cultural groups. Thank you for the opportunity to comment. Sincerely, Sherry A. Ruther Manager - Environmental and Long Range Planning Group Pima County Development Services |
