3. The cycle time for the metering faucets for the lavatories shall be at least 10-seconds for accessibility. Reference: Section 606.4, ICC/ANSI A117.1-09.

8. Scuppers are not equivalent to horizontal pipes; provide the hydraulic calculations used to determine the size of the scuppers. Based on a head of 2" and a rainfall rate of 3"/hour, a 6"-wide scupper can only accommodate 1530 square feet of roof (47 GPM). Reference:1101.7 and 1108.3, IPC 2012.
01/30/2018 ROBERT SHERRY MECHANICAL-COMMERCIAL REVIEW Reqs Change 1.

Reference: Section 107.2.1, IBC 2012.
3. Specify the maximum acceptable NFRC-certified U-values and solar heat gain factors (SHGC) for the storefront and glazed doors on the drawings.

6. Condensate drains may not terminate over a roof drain or gutter unless the roof drain or gutter terminates at or below grade in an area capable of absorbing the condensate flow without surface drainage. Reference: Section 307.2.1, IMC 2012, as amended by the City of Tucson.
7. Detail 4/M-1.1 calls for a smoke detector to be mounted to the supply air duct of each rooftop unit.

02/07/2018 DAVID RIVERA ZONING REVIEW Reqs Change FROM: David Rivera
PDSD Zoning Review Section

PROJECT: T18CM00270 - New Building (Retail - General Merchandise)
Building Plan Review (1st Review) AutoZone
3271 E Valencia Road

TRANSMITTAL DATE: February 7, 2018

DUE DATE: February 9, 2018

COMMENTS: Please resubmit revised drawings and any redlined plans along with a detailed response letter, which states how all Zoning Review Section comments were addressed.


1. COMMENT: Zoning has done a cursory review of the building plans. Prior to a more comprehensive review by zoning the DP must be reviewed and approved prior to zoning approval of the building plans. While the cursory review did yield an indication that the building plans are consistent with what has been proposed and drawn on the DP (that has been submitted for review) zoning cannot approve the building plans at this time.

While the building footprint is consistent with the footprint on the DP as it relates to the zoning review purview (Building footprint, Height, square footage, site conditions etc.) zoning cannot approve the building plans until the Commercial Plans reviewer(s) have approved the building plans.


2. COMMENT: Zoning will review the building plans on the next submittal to assure consistency with the DP. If any changes are necessary to the building plans due to plan review comments that affect zoning requirements the DP will have to be revised to reflect the changes. Once the DP is approved by all reviewers and the building plans are approved by the Commercial Plans reviewers zoning can approve the building plans.

If you have any questions about this transmittal, Contact David Rivera on Tuesday or Wednesday at (520) 837-4957 or by email David.Rivera@tucsonaz.gov or contact Steve Shields, (520) 837-4956 or Steve.Shields@tucsonaz.gov
