| 11/20/2019 | SMEGGIS1 | URBAN PLANNING | REVIEW | Completed | PDSD PLANNING REVIEW ACTIVITY NUMBER: T19PRE0205 PROJECT REVIEWER: SARAH MEGGISON, SARAH.MEGGISON@TUCSONAZ.GOV PLAN COMPLIANCE: Staff review finds that the proposed rezoning is consistent with Plan Tucson, Wrightstown Neighborhood Plan, and Pantano East Area Plan (PEAP), and does not require a plan amendment prior to special exception approval. ANALYSIS: The proposed Zoning Examiner Special Exception is for a 138 kilovolt (138kV) Tucson Electric Power Company (TEP) substation to be located on an approximately 5.89-acre parcel in the C-1 (Commercial) zone on the northwest corner of East Speedway Boulevard and North Harrison Road. The C-1 zone allows for utility distribution through the Zoning Examiner Special Exception Procedure and must be compliant with the use specific standards called out in Section 4.9.11 of the Unified Development Code. TEP processed a Special Exception under SE-15-66 that was approved November 6, 2015. TEP has determined that Conditions 1, 6, 12, and 14 cannot be met and is requesting a change in condition of approval in accordance with the procedures in Section 3.4.3 of the Unified Development Code. The PDP dated August 24, 2015 has been changed per the details in the request letter. Some of the changes include increasing distances from transformers and driveways to residences, and decreasing height of lighting masts, creating a more compatible design to surrounding land uses. TEP is also unable to implement and effectuate all code requirements and conditions prior to November 2020, so a time extension has been requested to November 2025. The changes are still consistent with the Pantano East Area Plan, the Wrightstown Neighborhood Plan, as well as Plan Tucson. Plan Tucson states that above-ground utilities and structures are to be designed with improved appearances. The Pantano East Area Plan residential policy, requests and states to ensure the compatibility of new development with existing land uses. Wrightstown Neighborhood Plan supports medium density residential, office and neighborhood commercial. 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 substation lies within the Neighborhood Centers building block of the Future Growth Scenario Map. Neighborhood Centers feature a mix of small businesses surrounded by housing and accessed internally and from nearby neighborhoods by pedestrian and bike friendly streets and by transit. LT28.1.3 - Improve the appearance of above-ground utilities and structures and extend access to high-tech wireless communications facilities throughout the city. 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. LT28.2.14 - Protect established residential neighborhoods by supporting compatible development, which may include other residential, mixed-use infill and appropriate nonresidential uses. Pantano East Area Plan, Residential Policy 3, requests and states to ensure the compatibility of new development with existing land uses. Wrightstown Neighborhood Plan supports medium density residential, office and neighborhood commercial. ADDITIONAL NOTES FROM PRESUBMITTAL MEETING: |
