02/16/2011 MPADILL1 COMMUNITY PLANNING REVIEW Completed DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
SE-11-02 Goodwill Industries - Silverbell Road
C-1 ZEFNP for Goodwill Store
Santa Cruz Area Plan
01/08/11 msp

The request is for a Special Exception in the C-1, a neighborhood commercial zone, to allow a household goods donation center at 1150 N. Silverbell Road, Suite #100, which is located northeast of the intersection of Speedway Boulevard and Silverbell Road. No retail or outdoor donation activity is proposed at this site as all donated house wares and clothing will be transferred to other facilities for processing and resale. The site is within the Silverbell Pavilion Development site, which has a zoning restriction that prohibits soup kitchen(s) and limited outdoor food services as outlined in Book 29, Page22, sheet 1of 5 of the development plan. Primary access is from Silverbell Road, an arterial street.

Surrounding Land Uses and Zonings:
To the north and south are commercial developments with C-1, a neighborhood commercial zone; to the east is vacant commercial property zoned C-1, a neighborhood commercial zone and the El Rio Golf Course zoned R-1 residential; to the west across Silverbell Road are large tract parcels, each with a single-family residential unit and a large vacant City of Tucson parcel, all zoned R-1 residential.
Land Use Policies:
Policy direction is provided by the Santa Cruz Area Plan (SCAP) and the General Plan. Both Plans support commercial uses at this site. The location within Key Parcel 10 and commercial development is supported on this site, which consists of a single building with six tenant spaces and the site has integrated parking and traffic circulation with adjacent commercial developments. The existing development meets SCAP general policy to be compatible in size, scale, and mass with adjacent uses and more specific policy direction is provided in policy 4, it supports commercial uses which service the residential neighborhood.

Applicable General Plan policy; Commercial and Office Development, Policy 5, supports appropriate locations for commercial and office uses, with priority for development and redevelopment within the existing urbanized areas to promote use and improvement of existing infrastructure, to increase pedestrian activity and transit use, and to meet residents' needs for goods and services in a cost-effective and equitable fashion; Economic Development, Policy 7; Encourage the expansion and continued viability of trade and service activities; Supporting Policy 7.2 - assist local firms in the trade and service sectors to expand their existing markets.

Design Guidelines Manual; Guideline I.A.5.c, encourages the 'Good Neighbor' approach -A solution is to encourage limited duration of activities that generate excessive noise, light or traffic by concentrating such activities between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.; and limiting hours of operation where possible.




Analysis:
The proposed site is located at 1150 N. Silverbell Road, Suite # 100. The location is north of the Silverbell Road and Speedway Boulevard intersection. The site is an existing commercial complex with approximately 34,776 square feet of land area. The proposed tenant space is the south end unit with approximately 1,200 square feet. The commercial complex has a total of six tenant spaces with shared parking and a loading zone that is located at the northwest corner of the complex, approximately one-hundred (100) feet from the proposed Goodwill Donation Center. Such a distance from the store front is impractical and donors may just park at random at the time of unloading and such a scenario is an unsafe practice of pedestrian circulation. Staff recommends the use of an existing parking space that is located nearest to the front door to be converted, including signage as a "drop-off" parking space with limited time to allow it to remain open during the day to allow for multiple donors to use.

Based on Development Plan Silverbell Pavilion, recorded on Book 29, Page 22, there are two on-site enclosed dumpsters, but are accessible only from an adjacent commercial development, which is also owned by the same entity. A cross-access easement agreement should be recorded between the two parcels to ensure in perpetuity vehicular access.

The delivery of all goods should have a limited time at the "drop-off" parking space 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. Staff recommends that any future considerations for ancillary outdoor uses, such as; loading/unloading, boxing and sorting to be conducted under a protect roof area to screen employees/volunteers from prolong exposure to direct sunlight and/or heat.

Recommendation:
The Special Exception request is to establish a Goodwill Industries Donation Center through the rehabilitation of an existing site and utilizing existing infrastructure to meet resident's needs for goods and services in a cost-effective and equitable fashion. The request for a Goodwill Donation Center is consistent with the Plans and a plan amendment is not required. Staff recommeds approval subject to the following Special Exception conditions:

1. Outdoor activities such as but not limited to loading/unloading/ sorting, packaging, and/or bundling shall occur only between the hours of 7:00 A.M. and 10:00 P.M., Monday through Sunday.

Key Parcel 10

Existing Use:

Parcel 10 includes a large area of vacant land adjacent to the El Rio Golf Course and Northwest District Park. A few commercial uses are located at the southwest corner.

Proposed Use:

As drainage and flooding problems are resolved, high-density residential uses should be encouraged for the majority of this area. This can be accomplished by employing the residential use option contained in the B-1 zone. Locally oriented commercial uses should also be provided and focused on the intersection of Speedway and Silverbell.
