Provide the following notes on the plan in regards to the Hillside & Scenic review.: 1. Show the 400' Scenic Corridor Zone line on the plan. 2. Per LUC Section 2.8.2.6.A Siting of structures will be such that existing natural topography and vegetation is minimally disturbed.No grading beyond that necessary for siting of buildings, parking, private yards, and structural improvements will be allowed. All existing vegetation with a caliper of four (4) inches or greater and all saguaro cacti must be preserved or relocated on the site. 3. Per LUC Section 2.8.2.6.C Drainageways are to be maintained in their natural states where possible, and the discretionary authority shall be exercised nly under unusual circumstances. In situations where the discretionary authority is exercised by the City Engineer or designee, modifications will be in accordance with the "Floodplain and Erosion Hazard Area Regulations." 4. Per LUC Section 2.8.2.9.A All new utilities for development on private property and on public right-of-way along Scenic Routes will be underground. Where possible, existing poles will be used to provide the required transition to underground service to new developments adjacent to scenic corridors. However, a new pole set in line with the existing overhead system, when necessary to serve approved new developments, shall not be deemed to be a new utility. Upgrades and reinforcements of existing overhead facilities are allowed to the extent that the total number of electrical circuits or communication cables is not increased. Relocation of overhead utility facilities required by public improvement districts along scenic corridors will conform with existing franchise requirements. 5. Per LUC Section 2.8.2.10.A Building or structure surfaces, which are visible from the Scenic Route, will have colors which are predominant within the surrounding landscape, such as desert and earth tones. Satellite dishes may be black. White is not permitted. 6. Per LUC Section 2.8.2.10.B. Fencing and freestanding walls facing the Scenic Route will meet the material restrictions in Sec. 3.7.3, Screening Requirements.

The following items need to be addressed: HDZ OVERLAY COMMENTS: 1) DS Sec.9-01.2.3: The following information is to be provided on the overlay sheets for all projects affected by the Hillside Development Zone review: a) Grading information, including proposed grading area, amount of grading by square feet and percentage of lot area, proposed contours, and locations of all areas of cut and fill. b) Topographic information of the existing terrain, prior to any grading, grubbing, clearing, excavation, or modification, with contour intervals as specified in Development Standard 9-01.0. c) The location, size, color, and textural treatment of all retaining walls, riprapped slopes, or other constructed means of slope stabilization must be shown on one (1) of the plans submitted. d) The following slope analysis information must be provided on the plan. For specific information on calculations of slope, refer to Development Standard 9-01.0. I. The average natural cross slope (ACS) must be listed in the general notes on the plat or plan. II. If the development criteria of Sec. 2.8.1.6 of the LUC require an analysis of sloped areas, those areas of fifteen (15) percent or greater slope must be shown on a topographic map 2) DS Sec.9-01.4.1: The Average Natural Cross Slope (ACS) of a site is determined in the following manner. The site is depicted on a topographic map of the existing terrain, prior to any grading, grubbing, clearing, excavation, or modification, utilizing a scale no smaller than one (1) inch equals one hundred (100) feet, with the following contour interval. The HDZ Sheet that shows the ACS should not contain the proposed improvements in order to calculate the slope analysis and show areas of 15% or greater. 3) DS Sec.9-01.5.1.A.2: Provide a Note on the HDZ Overlay Sheet stating; "The portions of the site or lot to be left ungraded are to remain undisturbed and are not to be used for stockpiling of materials or excess fill, construction vehicle access, storage of vehicles during construction, or similar uses. If natural areas are designated on a site or lot, temporary fencing will be installed where they abut construction areas in order to prevent encroachment into the natural areas." SCENIC CORRIDOR OVERLAY COMMENTS: 4) Revise the Overlay sheets to include the following notes for SCZ Overlay: a) "Exposed cut and fill slopes shall be no greater than 3:1 (H: V) within the 30-foot undisturbed Natural buffer." b) "Per LUC Sec.2.8.2.4.A the 30-foot undisturbed natural buffer is to be preserved and maintained in its natural state." c) "This development is subject to the review and approval of the special application for the Scenic Corridor Overlay.

Provide the case number 'T11SA00336'on the lower right corner of the revised plan set. d) "No grading beyond what is necessary for siting of buildings, drives, private yards, and structural improvements. All viable vegetation with a caliper of 4-inches or greater and all saguaro cacti will be preserved or relocated on the site per the Native Plant and Preservation Ordinance." e) "All new utilities for development on private property or public right-of-way along Speedway Blvd will be underground. Trenching is permitted for the placement of utilities lines, area is to be re-vegetated in accordance with Land Use Code Sec. 3.7.5.2.D" f) "Building or structure surfaces, which are visible from Speedway Blvd will have colors, which are, predominate within the surrounding landscape." g) "Fencing and freestanding walls facing Speedway Blvd will meet material restrictions in Land Use Code Sec. 3.7.3, Screening Requirements." h) "Per LUC Section 2.8.2.6.A: Siting of structures will be such that existing natural topography and vegetation is minimally disturbed. No grading beyond what is necessary for siting of buildings, parking, private yards, and structural improvements will be allowed.
