| 10/22/2019 | SMONTES1 | URBAN PLANNING | REVIEW | Completed | PDSD PLANNING REVIEW ACTIVITY NUMBER: T19PRE0183 PROJECT REVIEWER: MICHAEL KAT, MICHAEL.KAT@TUCSONAZ.GOV PLAN COMPLIANCE: Staff review finds that the proposed rezoning is consistent with Plan Tucson, and does not require a plan amendment prior to rezoning from SR (Suburban Ranch) and RX-1 (Residential) to R-2 (Residential). ANALYSIS: The applicant is proposing to rezone a 12.44 acre lot from the Suburban Ranch (SR) and Residential (RX-1) to Residential (R-2). The existing land uses include a vacant lot and a single-family residence. The applicant is proposing a change in land use in order to develop a 147 unit multi-family residential community consisting of one, two, and three bedroom units, parking, and landscape borders. The proposed project is adjacent to county residential zones (SR) on the east, west, and north sides, and is adjacent to City of Tucson residential (RX-1, and R-3) on the south side. Catalina Highway is adjacent to the proposed project and has a 150 foot right-of-way and is designated a scenic arterial in the Major Streets & Routes Plan (MS&R). Plan Tucson supports residential development with medium-density (between 6 and 14 units per acre). Medium-density residential, apartments, is an existing land use in the area with two-story apartments located due south of the proposed project and east across Catalina Highway. The proposed project will have an approximate density of 11.81 RAC and building height of 25 feet, which matches the existing density and scale for the area. The Plan also finds medium-density residential development to be more appropriate where primary vehicular access is provided to an arterial or collector street and is directed away from the interior of low-density residential areas. The proposed project is located along Catalina Highway, a scenic arterial street per Major Streets and Routes (MS&R). The project is also due north of the Tanque Verde Road and Catalina Highway intersection, which serves as a commercial center for the immediate area. Locating medium-density residential around busy commercial centers creates walkable distances for residents while also directing traffic away low-density residential areas. The Plan also 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. The proposed project is located where the City transitions to County and is a fairly low-density suburban/rural setting. The site plan shows that setbacks are provided to buffer the adjoining residences, most of which are setback away from the adjoining lot lines. Additionally, staff recommends that during the neighborhood meeting the Pre-Annexation and Development Agreement (PADA) conditions should be called out and discussed within the context of zoning. APPLICABLE PLAN POLICIES: Plan Tucson contains a variety of elements that are categories in four focus areas, including the Social Environment, the Economic Environment, the Natural Environment, and the Built Environment. Each focus area contains specific goals and each element contains specific policies. The Future Growth Scenario Map illustrates different building blocks within the city that have specific policies to promote future growth opportunities. The proposed development lies within the Existing Neighborhoods building block of the Future Growth Scenario Map. LT28.2.2 Medium-density (between 6 and 14 units per acre) residential, with greater densities possible in conformance with the FLD provision. Medium-density residential development is generally appropriate where primary vehicular access is provided to an arterial or collector street and is directed away from the interior of low-density residential areas. In areas already predominately zoned R-2 additional medium-density residential may be appropriate. LT28.2.12 Support 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. 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. LT28.2.15 Consider residential development with densities that complement the size and intensity of the center or node, while providing transitions to lower density residential uses. For example, high-and medium-density development can support and reinvigorate regional activity centers, while appropriate medium- and low-density infill can complement the scale and character of neighborhood activity nodes.
