| 06/29/2015 | DBURSUC1 | COMMUNITY PLANNING | REVIEW | Completed | PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT SERVICES SE-15-33 IPC Bicycle B&B - Old Spanish Trail SR Zone (Special Exception) Plan Tucson and Rincon / Southwest Regional Plan 06/29/15 DB Background: This is for a special exception use in the SR Suburban Ranch Residential zone. The proposed special exception is for a Home Occupation: Travelers' Accommodation, Lodging as an accessory use to a permitted single-family dwelling. The plan proposes a bicycle camp and bed-and-breakfast establishment for up to 4 beds and 8 occupants at a time. Plan Tucson and the Rincon / Southeast Subregional Plan provide land use direction for this request. The property fronts on Old Spanish Trail a scenic arterial street and Melpomene Way, a local street, on the Major Streets and Routes Plan. Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses: To the north and southwest of the proposed rezoning site are single-family residential homes developed in the SR Suburban Ranch Residential zone. To the northwest is a cemetery use in the SH Suburban Homesite zone. To the east and south are single-family residential homes developed in the Pima County SR residential zone. . Rezoning Presubmittal Meeting: The applicant attended a presubmittal conference meeting on May 6, 2015. Meeting discussions included discussion of parking requirements, amount of residents allowed at the same time, and the process for having the necessary neighborhood meeting. Neighborhood Meeting: The applicant has held one neighborhood meeting, on June 9, 2015. The meeting was held at site of the proposed Home Occupation: Travelers' Accommodation, Lodging, located at 11051 E Old Spanish Trail. Applicant has provided the required neighborhood meeting material: mailing notification, copy of labels, notice letter, meeting summary, and sign-in sheet. Four representatives from the neighborhood attended the meeting, three neighbors and one neighborhood association representative. The residents voiced concern that the requested change would lead to even more intense uses on the property and in the neighborhood. It was explained to the residents any further change in uses would require a change of zone. The attendees were then taken on a tour of the site. All attendees stated no objection to the requested special exception. Land Use Policies: The Plan Tucson and the Rincon / Southeast Subregional Plan (RSSP) provides the following land use direction for this request. Plan Tucson - Policy direction is provided by the Built Environment in Chapter 3, Building Blocks, Existing Neighborhoods; The proposed site is within an existing neighborhood and a goal is to maintain the character of the neighborhoods, while accommodating new development to encourage reinvestment and amenities that contribute to the community and further stabilize the neighborhood. Policy also states to consider the application of the Pima County Conservation Land System designation and requirements in rezoning reviews. Guidelines support the utilization of solution and strategies included in the Design Guidelines Manual to provide an improved level of community design. Included are support methods to conserve and enhance habitat when development occurs, support accessibility on open space that connects with surrounding public natural areas. Policy supports interconnected urban trail system throughout the city to meet the recreational needs of pedestrian, bicyclist, and equestrians. Plan Tucson supports 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. Rincon / Southeast Subregional Plan (RSSP) The RSSP, Map Detail #14, 29th Street / Los Reales section provides direction for this site. The southeast portion (which includes the proposed site), is planned as Low Intensity Urban with a density cap of 0.3 RAC. The plan states development in this area should remain of this intensity due to its environmental sensitivity and its proximity to Saguaro National Park and various recreational amenities. Assessment: The applicant proposes a special exception for a Home Occupation: Travelers' Accommodation, Lodging as an accessory to use to a permitted family dwelling use. This new use would utilize the property as a bicycle camp and bed-and-breakfast establishment. Following use standards put forth by the City of Tucson Unified Development Code, the proposal is for four sleeping rooms with up to eight guests at a time. If additional uses were to be implemented (e.g. commercial bicycle repair shop) in the future, those would be require a separate special exception process. The proposed special exception fits within the allowed uses directed by Plan Tucson and the Rincon / Southeast Subregional Plan (RSSP), therefore a plan amendment will not be required to process this request. Any of the following, but not limited to, may be necessary to provide, a traffic mitigation plan, parking plan, lighting plan, sign plan, and any necessary site improvements. These concerns must be addressed in the Design Compatibility Report and Environmental Resource Report to show site design being compatible with applicable policies. Staff recommends that the special exception application be distributed for further processing. |
