04/27/2015 JOHN BEALL COMMUNITY PLANNING REVIEW Completed DEPARTMENT OF URBAN PLANNING & DESIGN
SE-15-07 InJoy Thrift Store - Pantano Road
C-1, Special Exception
Plan Tucson and Pantano East Area Plan
04/20/15
2nd IPC

This is a revised request for a Special Exception to allow a proposed Retail/Thrift Store with donation center use in C-1 zoning. The proposed use will be located within an existing commercial center/building, with a designated unit/space of 15,946 square feet. The special exception site is located at 250 North Pantano Road, on the west side of Pantano Road approximately 1,000 feet north of the Broadway Boulevard/Pantano Road intersection. Pantano Road is an arterial roadway on the Major Streets and Routes Plan map.

Plan Policy
Plan Tucson provides relevant policy guidance and identifies this site on its Future Growth Scenario Map as 'Existing Neighborhoods' which are primarily developed and largely built-out residential and commercial districts in which minimal new development is expected. The goal is to maintain existing character of these neighborhoods, encourage new development and reinvestment and new services that contribute further to neighborhood stability. Plan Tucson encourages design elements that reflect project sensitivity to the site, surrounding neighborhoods, and enhances the overall function and visual quality of the street, adjacent properties, and the community.

Pantano East Area Plan promotes commercial development in appropriate areas such as along major streets and where existing commercial zoning already exists. Commercial uses should be integrated with other adjacent commercial uses and designed in harmony with adjacent residential uses.

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.

Neighborhood Meeting
The applicant held a neighborhood meeting on December 22, 2014 onsite at the proposed store location. There were two attendees at the meeting. There were no concerns raised and per the meeting notes the attendees expressed that they welcomed the new business to the center.

Rezoning Presubmittal Meeting
The applicant attended a rezoning presubmittal meeting with staff on September 23, 2014. Issues discussed: provide a revised preliminary development plan showing the whole project site including the store and donation area, site details as required by code, hours of operation, etc.


Analysis
The applicant attended the required rezoning presubmittal meeting and held the required neighborhood meeting. The submitted application provides a revised preliminary development plan(PDP) that shows the whole site (commercial center), and now identifies where the donation box is located within the parking lot. The application also included a Security Management Plan that operation of the proposed project, including the hours of operation (M-Sat, 9-9), outdoor lighting, drop-off donation box, and signs.

Conclusion
The proposed development is consistent with and supported by the policy direction provided in Plan Tucson and Pantano East Area Plan, and a plan amendment is not required, the application can be accepted at this time as it does contain adequate information to accept for processing.

The following was provided with the revised IPC submission:
" Revised PDP that identifies donation box location within the parking area
" Provide an outdoor lighting plan
" This still needs to be addressed but can be done during the full review prior to the Zoning Examiner meeting: Correct Security Management Plan to change reference to LUC 3.5.5.6.I to UDC 4.9.5.G.9
