01/22/2010 MATT FLICK ENGINEERING REVIEW Completed PDSD Engineering has no objection or adverse comment to approval for a Special Exception for location of a Goodwill Industries facility in an existing retail building.

The existing shopping center lies at the southwestern corner of the intersection of Irvington Road and Campbell Avenue. The intersection is signalized and both roadways are MS&R Arterials with proposed rights-of-way of 120 feet. The existing rights-of-way exceed the MS&R mid-block right-of-way. No RTA projects are planned for these roadways. Campbell Avenue is proposed to be milled, and an asphalt inlay applied, beginning in 2010. Access to the shopping center will be maintained.

The site does not lie within a mapped floodplain, flood hazard area or erosion hazard zone. Although the site lies within the Rodeo Wash critical basin, neither detention nor threshold retention will be required due to the existing full development of the site.

No conditions are requested.

SE-09-72 Goodwill Industries of Southern AZ - Irvington Road
C-1 ZEFNP for Goodwill Store
KinoArea Plan
01/21/10 msp

This request is for a special exception use in the C-1 zone, to allow Goodwill Industries at a commercial retail center located southwest from the intersection of Campbell Avenue and Irvington Road. The submittal indicates the commercial center contains approximately 7.5-acres with multiple structures including the main structure occupying approximate the south one-third of the site with ten (10) tenants including the anchor space for this proposal. Recently 1.6 acres were removed from the commercial center and redeveloped with a new pharmacy at the immediate southwest corner of Irvington Road and Campbell Avenue. According to the Major Streets and Routes Plan, both Irvington Road and Campbell Avenue are arterial streets. The proposed Goodwill tenant space is the anchor tenant space for the center with 20,000 square feet of floor area and is centralized within the existing commercial center. The applicant proposes two exterior changes to the building, first is to create three new "donation drop-off parking spaces" at the front of the store and the second change is to provide two new loading docks at the rear of the store along the south boundary of the center.
The special exception site is located within the boundaries of the Kino Area Plan (KAP). The General Plan also provides policy and guidance for the proposed land use.

Plan Policy Summary:
The site is within the boundaries of the Kino Area Plan (KAP), and the overall goal of the KAP is to provide a balance of uses and a wide range of activities, including employment, shopping, housing, and recreation. The KAP, under Residential Policy 2.d, supports adequate commercial facilities to support residential development in the area. The General Plan, Element 2, Land Use under Commercial and Office Development offers Policy 5.5, which encourages redevelopment and/or expansion of current strip commercial developments that will improve and stabilize the center and enhance the transition edge if adjacent to existing residential uses. In addition, General Plan Element 6 Conservation, Rehabilitation and Redevelopment offers in Policy 3 to promote the continued physical and economic viability of the city's neighborhoods and commercial districts.

Analysis:
The Goodwill store will utilize an existing and vacant anchor store space with 20,000 square feet located at the center of the commercial complex. In general, a commercial center's viability hinges on the ability of an anchor tenant to draw customers to the center. The proposed Goodwill Industries use may improve employment opportunities for area residents and may provide household goods at substantial savings, giving a boost to the community's purchasing power specially now during the recession.

The site design for the overall commercial center appears to have adequate parking for this use. However, traffic circulation to the rear of the store may be an issue from Campbell Avenue. Staff believes this may be resolved by obtaining a cross-access easement with the owner(s) of the private parcel located outside of the commercial center property, but within the shopping center layout and sharing an access point onto Campbell Avenue. This would help the exiting of semi-tractors and large delivery trucks from the back of the store onto Campbell Avenue. The delivery of all goods should have a limited time at the loading stage area and moved as soon as possible to the interior of the buildings to reduce outdoor storage of items. The commercial site is zoned C-1 commercial and does not support outdoor open storage. If the outdoor loading stage area will be used by employees to sort, distribute, and load or unload commercial vehicles, then this area should include a shade cover to relieve workers from the Tucson heat during working hours. The rear of the store (loading zone area) should have limited hours of operation to protect the adjacent residential neighborhood locate southwest and west of the center, from noise, fumes, lights, glare, or any outdoor commercial activity that might impact the residential edge. It appears a masonry wall exists along the full length of the south property line to help buffer the commercial uses from adjacent residential uses. However, if the existing wall is less then six feet in height adjacent to residential property, then it needs to be built up to six feet.

Recommendation
The Special Exception request to reinvest in a commercial center anchor space for Goodwill Industries is consistent with the Plans. A plan amendment is not required. Staff recommeds approval subject to the following Special Exception conditions:

At the time of submittal staff will focus on the following:

1. No parking of commercial vehicles, associated with Goodwill Industries, shall occur at the rear of the store between the hours of 10:00 P.M. and 7:00 A.M.
