SE-14-74 IPC Goodwill - Old Spanish Trail
Special Exception C-1
Plan Tucson and Pantano East Area Plan
9/29/14 JB/rh

Background. The request is for a Special Exception to allow a Goodwill household goods donation center at 8358 E. Broadway Boulevard. The existing zoning is C-1 Neighborhood Commercial. The proposed use will be located within an existing commercial site developed in 1973 with a 16,900 square foot, one-story commercial building with two tenant spaces. The Special Exception is located approximately 200 feet west of the intersection of Broadway Boulevard and Old Spanish Trail. Robb Wash, a WASH Ordinance wash, runs along the southwest side of the site. Access is from Broadway Boulevard.

According to the Major Streets and Routes Plan, Broadway Boulevard is designated an arterial gateway street and Old Spanish Trail is designated a collector gateway street.

Surrounding Zoning/Uses: To the east and west fronting Broadway Boulevard are adjacent commercial developments in the C-1 Neighborhood Commercial zone; to the southwest across Robb Wash is a residential subdivision (Desert Steeps Estates) in the R-1 Single Family Residential zone and developed with single-family, one-story homes; to the southeast is a condominium complex (Spanish Trail Condominiums) in the R-3 High-Density Residential zone; to the southwest across Robb Wash is a church complex in the O-3 Office zone; and to the north across Broadway Boulevard are commercial uses in the C-1 Neighborhood Commercial zone that are bisected by a self-storage use in the C-2 Community Commercial zone.

Rezoning Presubmittal Meeting: The applicant attended a presubmittal conference meeting on July 2, 2014.

Neighborhood Meeting: Applicant has provided the required neighborhood meeting material: mailing notification, copy of labels, notice letter, meeting summary, and sign-in sheet. The applicant held a neighborhood meeting, on September 23, 2014 from 5:30 PM to 6:15 PM, at 8358 E. Broadway Boulevard, the Special Exception site. The meeting was attended by no members of the public or neighbors. There was no discussion or presentation.

Land Use Policies: Policy direction is provided by the Pantano East Area Plan (PEAP) and Plan Tucson.

PEAP:
Commercial Policy 1 supports commercial developments in appropriate locations in the area along arterial streets when adjacent uses are adequately buffered.
Commercial Policy 2 supports the integration of adjoining commercial uses and should be designed to be in harmony with adjacent residential uses.

Plan Tucson (PT):
PT indentifies the Special Exception site as in an area designated on the Future Growth Scenario Map as "Existing Neighborhoods".
LT1 Integrate land use, transportation, and urban design to achieve an urban form that supports more effective use of resources, mobility options, more aesthetically-pleasing and active public spaces, and sensitivity to historic and natural resources and neighborhood character.

LT28.1.7 Preserve and strengthen the distinctive physical character and identity of individual neighbors and commercial districts in the community.

LT28.2.13 Support infill and redevelopment projects that reflect sensitivity to site and neighborhood conditions and adhere to relevant site and architectural design guidelines.

LT28.2.14 Protect established residential neighborhoods by supporting compatible development, which may include other residential, mixed-use infill and appropriate nonresidential uses.

LT28.2.7 Support the redevelopment and/or expansion of existing strip commercial development that will improve traffic flow, pedestrian mobility and safety, and streetscape quality when:
a. The project stabilizes and enhances the transition edge when adjacent to existing and future residential uses;
b. Primary access can be generally provided from a major street;
c. Required parking, loading, and maneuvering can be accommodated on site;
d. Screening and buffering of adjacent residential properties can be provided on site;
e. Adjacent uses can consolidate design elements, where feasible, such as access points, parking, landscaping, and screening;
f. Current or future cross access between parcels and uses can be feasibly accommodated; and
g. Buildings and their associated activities, such as, but not limited to, loading zones and dumpsters, can be oriented away from adjacent residential uses, toward the interior of the site or toward boundaries adjacent to similar uses.

Assessment: Both Plans support redevelopment of existing commercial uses at this site when appropriate mitigation and design considerations are addressed. As part of the Preliminary Development Package, the applicant has provided a Design Compatibility Report (DCR) and a Security Management Plan (SMP). Both the DCR and the SMP along with the Preliminary Development Plan will assist in establishing conditions of Special Exception to ensure redevelopment of this site upgrades the Broadway Boulevard frontage and minimizes impacts on adjacent uses.

Summary: In general, the proposal is consistent with the Plan Tucson and the Pantano East Area Plan and in keeping with the character of the area. The proposal meets the intent of the policy direction, regarding compatibility with the scale, density and character of the surrounding development.

Recommendation: In general, the proposal is consistent with the direction provided by Plan Tucson and the Pantano East Area Plan and is keeping with the character of the area. A plan amendment is not required. Staff recommends that the rezoning application be distributed for further processing.
