| 01/17/2013 | JOHN BEALL | COMMUNITY PLANNING | REVIEW | Completed | PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT SE-13-02 Select Management Resources - Grant Road Special Exception I-1 Santa Cruz Area Plan and General Plan 1/15/13 rjh Background: This is a special exception request to allow an existing one-story, 16 foot high gas station in the I-1 light industrial zone on a .64 acre site to be converted to an Auto Title Loan use. The site is located at the northwest corner of Grant Road and I-10. Access is from Grant Road. According to the Major Streets and Routes Plan, Grant Road is an arterial street. Surrounding Zoning and Land Use: To the north is a vacant lot in the I-1 light industrial zone. To the west is a restaurant in the I-1 light industrial zone. To the south are a convenience market and a motel in the I-1 light industrial zone. To the east across I-10 is the Southern Pacific railroad right of way in the I-1 light industrial zone and directly east of the railroad right of way is an industrial use in the I-2 heavy industrial zone. The nearest residential unit is located approximately 1,600 feet to the southwest from the proposed special exception site. No R-3 High Density Residential zone or more restrictive residential zoning is location within 500 feet of the Special Exception site. Land Use Policies: Policy is provided by the Santa Cruz Area Plan (SCAP) and the General Plan. Santa Cruz Area Plan (SCAP). The proposed special exception site is not located within a Key Parcel area. General Development Policy 4 supports commercial services with specific locations decided on a case-by-case basis and General Development Policy 7 supports new development that is designed and scaled to be compatible with existing neighborhood characteristics. General Plan. Policy direction is provided by the Element 2 - Policy 5 which supports appropriate locations for commercial and office uses, with priority for…location at the intersection of major streets…to promote use of existing infrastructure, and to meet residents' needs for goods and services in a cost-effective and equitable manner. Element 4 Community Character and Design Policy 1.1 promotes development that is compatible with Tucson's overall urban form, community character, and environmental setting. Policy 5 promotes neighborhood identity and visual character. Supporting Policy 5.3 supports redevelopment projects that reflect sensitivity to site and neighborhood conditions. Policy 6 promotes quality in design for all development. Supporting Policy 6.1 promotes an environmentally sensitive design that protects the integrity of existing neighborhoods, complements adjacent land uses, and enhances the overall function and visual quality of the street, adjacent properties, and the community. Analysis: This request for a special exception to allow an existing gas station in the I-1 Light Industrial zone to be converted to an Auto Title Loan use. Minimum change is proposed for the site. The existing building will be upgraded for office use. The proposed change is consistent with Plan policy direction because the subject site is located at the intersection of two major streets surrounded by commercial and industrial development. A key concern in both the Santa Cruz Area Plan and General Plan is the compatibility and design of new development. Given this site's prominent visible location at the intersection of an arterial street and Interstate 10, the site landscaping and signage should be brought up to current code requirements. Recommendation: The request for special exception is consistent with policy direction provided by the Santa Cruz Area Plan (SCAP) and the General Plan. Staff offers the following design mitigation measures for consideration as part of the rezoning process. 1. The development package shall clearly illustrate compliance with the preliminary development plan and all conditions through the use of details, diagrams and/or notes. · GP, Element 4, Policy 3.7, Policy 4.6 & Policy 6.1 · SCAP, General Development Policy 7 2. The site shall comply with current landscaping requirements. · GP, Element 4, Policy 3.7, Policy 4.6 & Policy 6.1 · SCAP, General Development Policy 7 3. The site shall comply with current sign code requirements. · GP, Element 4, Policy 3.7, Policy 4.6 & Policy 6.1 · SCAP, General Development Policy 7 F:\Sharedir\UPDfiles\DevRev\CASE_REVIEW\SP-EXCPT\SE 2013\C9-13-02 Select Management Resources - Grant Road |

The Special Exception proposal is to allow a non-chartered Financial Service use from the current General Merchandise Sales use on the site within an existing building. The new use proposes interior improvements and restriping the vehicle parking spaces, with inclusion of accessible parking with aisle. The City of Tucson has been moving toward achieving sustainable development, mitigation of Urban Heat Islands (UHI) and green building principles. In addition to the City of Tucson's General Plan, Mayor and Council endorsed the United Nations Urban Environmental Accords in 2005, adopted the US Mayors' Climate Protection Agreement in 2006, endorsed the City of Tucson Urban Landscape Framework and adopted the City's Framework for Advancing Sustainability in 2008. One of the most difficult areas to mitigate UHI and improve toward sustainability is the retrofitting of older development land uses. Surfaces, such as paving from roadways and asphalt parking areas contribute to approximately 40% of impervious surfaces in a city and the increase of UHI. The young and elderly are the most vulnerable populations to heat exhaustion during extreme heat events. Increasing reflectivity of these paved surfaces, proving shade (trees and/or shade structures) or pervious surfaces mitigate the heat absorption quality of dark pavement. The City encourages developers to work with staff to apply best management practices to mitigate urban heat island effects; this includes shading parking lots and use of cool roof surfacing. 1. Relevant Policy/Ordinance: a. Rainwater Harvesting Ordinance (No. 10957) and associated Development Standards (10-03.00) b. General Plan Element applicable to this site includes Element 14: Environmental Planning and Conservation: Policy 4: Promote the development and management of healthy and attractive urban vegetation. Policy 5: Promote the long term management and maintenance of Tucson's urban vegetation to maximize environmental and other benefits to the community. Policy 6: Coordinate public and private efforts to promote the expansion of the urban landscape. Policy 20: Protect and improve air quality by reducing sources of air pollution. Policy 26: Encourage the use of vegetative cover to reduce soil erosion and particulates in the air. Policy 40: Continue to support partnerships with public and private agencies to increase energy efficiency and sustainability in non-residential uses. 2. Targets in the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement applicable to this site include: C.5. Make energy efficiency a priority through building code improvements, retrofitting city facilities with energy efficient lighting and urging employees to conserve energy and save money; C.7. Practice and promote sustainable building practices using the U.S. Green building Council's LEED program or a similar system; C.10. Maintain healthy urban forests; promote tree planting to increase shading and to absorb CO2 The following conditions for Special Exception are requested for this project: 1. If any physical changes or repaving of the parking lot occurs (restriping without repaving excluded from this condition), the condition is to comply with existing shade requirement in parking lots (1 tree for every 4 parking spaces) and tree root zone have a minimum of 300 cubic feet (for purposes of calculations, no deeper than 3') of uncompacted soil (less than 90% compaction); if utilizing structured/engineered soil where 95% or greater compaction permitted, then 600 cubic feet of soil (for purposes of calculation, no deeper than 3') shall be required. Shade structures, including solar panels, is an acceptable alternative. 2. If new or replacement roofing is done, material to be either Energy Star rated or rated as a cool roof (initial solar reflection greater than, or equal to, 0.65 and minimum infrared emitance greater than or equal to 85%); placement and utilizing energy of solar panels on the roof will be considered an acceptable alternative. 3. Parking: no more than 2 parking spaces in excess of the minimum requirement. If additional parking requested, beyond the 2 extra, no more than 1 additional space be allowed and that area to be paved with pervious paving and this extra parking space to be shaded by a tree or a shade structure/canopy meeting the requirements of condition #2 above. |

The City of Tucson has been moving toward achieving sustainable development, mitigation of Urban Heat Islands (UHI) and green building principles. In addition to the City of Tucson's General Plan, Mayor and Council endorsed the United Nations Urban Environmental Accords in 2005, adopted the US Mayors' Climate Protection Agreement in 2006, endorsed the City of Tucson Urban Landscape Framework and adopted the City's Framework for Advancing Sustainability in 2008. One of the most difficult areas to mitigate UHI and improve toward sustainability is the retrofitting of older development land uses. Surfaces, such as paving from roadways and asphalt parking areas contribute to approximately 40% of impervious surfaces in a city and the increase of UHI. The young and elderly are the most vulnerable populations to heat exhaustion during extreme heat events. Increasing reflectivity of these paved surfaces, proving shade (trees and/or shade structures) or pervious surfaces mitigate the heat absorption quality of dark pavement. The City encourages developers to work with staff to apply best management practices to mitigate urban heat island effects; this includes shading parking lots and use of cool roof surfacing. 1. Relevant Policy/Ordinance: a. Rainwater Harvesting Ordinance (No. 10957) and associated Development Standards (10-03.00) b. General Plan Element applicable to this site includes Element 14: Environmental Planning and Conservation: Policy 4: Promote the development and management of healthy and attractive urban vegetation. Policy 5: Promote the long term management and maintenance of Tucson's urban vegetation to maximize environmental and other benefits to the community. Policy 6: Coordinate public and private efforts to promote the expansion of the urban landscape. Policy 20: Protect and improve air quality by reducing sources of air pollution. Policy 26: Encourage the use of vegetative cover to reduce soil erosion and particulates in the air. Policy 40: Continue to support partnerships with public and private agencies to increase energy efficiency and sustainability in non-residential uses. 2. Targets in the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement applicable to this site include: C.5. Make energy efficiency a priority through building code improvements, retrofitting city facilities with energy efficient lighting and urging employees to conserve energy and save money; C.7. Practice and promote sustainable building practices using the U.S. Green building Council's LEED program or a similar system; C.10. Maintain healthy urban forests; promote tree planting to increase shading and to absorb CO2 The following conditions for Special Exception are requested for this project: 1. If any physical changes or repaving of the parking lot occurs (restriping without repaving excluded from this condition), the condition is to comply with existing shade requirement in parking lots (1 tree for every 4 parking spaces) and tree root zone have a minimum of 300 cubic feet (for purposes of calculations, no deeper than 3') of uncompacted soil (less than 90% compaction); if utilizing structured/engineered soil where 95% or greater compaction permitted, then 600 cubic feet of soil (for purposes of calculation, no deeper than 3') shall be required. Shade structures, including solar panels, is an acceptable alternative. 2. If new or replacement roofing is done, material to be either Energy Star rated or rated as a cool roof (initial solar reflection greater than, or equal to, 0.65 and minimum infrared emitance greater than or equal to 85%); placement and utilizing energy of solar panels on the roof will be considered an acceptable alternative. 3. Parking: no more than 2 parking spaces in excess of the minimum requirement. If additional parking requested, beyond the 2 extra, no more than 1 additional space be allowed and that area to be paved with pervious paving and this extra parking space to be shaded by a tree or a shade structure/canopy meeting the requirements of condition #2 above. |

| 02/11/2013 | HEATHER THRALL | SIGNS | SIGN CODE REVIEW | Completed | Review performed by Heather Thrall of the Signs Division Heather.Thrall@tucsonaz.gov or 837-4951 Per Sign Code Section 3-97, when a change of occupancy occurs on the premises (i.e. from retail gas station to the new financial institution) then any nonconforming signs must be removed. Registered in the sign history database are two nonconforming pole signs (height/setback) that would need to be removed if the new use moves in. Also registered in the sign history database is a nonconforming freeway sign. This sign is 81' tall as measured from the grade at the base of the sign. If the sign is 48' in height as measured from the actual physical travel lane of the freeway lanes - per a survey, the sign may in fact not be nonconforming and could potentially remain, as this property appears to be remaining one single premise that functions on it's own with it's own parking, land and ingress/egress to the right of way of Grant Road. As the site is zoned I-1 and is along the freeway, new signage can be installed at a 4 to 1 and not to exceed 40% of the coverage of any building elevation. For further assistance, please feel free to contact me. |
