| 01/26/2015 | JOHN BEALL | COMMUNITY PLANNING | REVIEW | Completed | DEPARTMENT OF URBAN PLANNING & DESIGN SE-15-06 The Shops at Midvale - Valencia Road Plan Tucson and Santa Cruz Area Plan 01/26/15 This is a request to allow a Large Retail Establishment (LRE) and fuel center with retail shops on an approximately 13.44 acre site zoned C-2. The proposal includes a Fry's store with 102,564 sq. f., with an associated fuel center that includes a 176 sq. ft. kiosk and a 6,880 sq. ft. canopy. The project site will also include a 4,500 sq. ft building and a 7,800 sq. ft. building with retail/restaurant use. The total building area of the Fry's store is greater than 100,000 sq. ft. and is considered a Large Retail Establishment, requiring a special exception for the C-2 zone. The surrounding Zoning is C-2 to the west; to the east is C-1; across Valencia Road to the north is C-2; and to the south is County SH with existing residential and church uses. Policy direction for the proposed project site is based on the Plan Tucson and the Santa Cruz Area Plan. Plan Policy Summary The Plan Tucson and the Santa Cruz Area Plan provide relevant policy guidance. These Plans promote commercial uses along major transportation corridors and in or adjacent to regional activity centers and employment centers. The Santa Cruz Area Plan specifically calls out that commercial uses are appropriate near the intersection of Valencia and Valley Indian Agency Connection Road. These Plan policies encourage and support developments that respond to physical characteristics of the site, adjacent land use patterns, enhancing the visual appeal of the streetscape, and incorporating neighborhood recommendations into site planning and design. Rezoning Application The applicant attended a presubmittal meeting with staff on October 29, 2014. The applicant held a neighborhood meeting on December 2, 2014 with approximately 12 people in attendance. The issues centered around hours of operation, traffic and access, security and site lighting, and shopping carts. Plan Compliance/Recommendation Staff finds this proposal complete, and consistent with the policy direction provided by the Plan Tucson and Santa Cruz Area Plan. A plan amendment is not required. It is recommended that this application be accepted for further processing. |

Required minimum building setback to the southwest & south residential zoned property is 200', proposed to the southwest residential zoned property is 60', to the south residential zoned property is 74' 2. Required minimum 8' high, or higher masonry screen adjacent to the southwest & south residential zoned property wall not provided, proposed 5' high vegetative screen. 3.

Require setback to adjacent residential zoned property or adjacent streets is 200' It does not appear that the two (2) trash collection areas shown along the south adjacent residential zoned property meet the required 200'. It does not appear that the southeast and northeast trash collection areas meet the 200' setback to adjacent streets. Screening requirements for the southeast and northeast trash collection areas are not shown. UDC Section 4.9.9.D.1.e Pedestrian Flow 6.

The vehicle parking calculation is not correct. Total gross floor area for the Fry's building should include the proposed Mezzanine. The vehicle parking requirement can be based on UDC Section 11.3.9.C.3 Shopping Center, A multiple use development composed of an integrated group of establishments (stores), planned, constructed, and managed as a unit, utilizing common or shared facilities, such as buildings, parking, and vehicular and pedestrian access, where no more than 50% of the floor area is dedicated to uses with a parking formula of one space per 100 square feet of gross floor area or a more intense formula. The individual establishments may be owned by a single entity or by separate entities. That said the required vehicle parking is then based on UDC TABLE 7.4.4-1: MINIMUM NUMBER OF MOTOR VEHICLE SPACES REQUIRED, RETAIL TRADE USE GROUP, Shopping Center, parked at 1 space per 300 sq. ft. GFA for the entire site. If you have any questions about this transmittal, please call Steve Shields, (520) 836-4956 or email Steve.Shields@tucsonaz.gov. |
