ACTIVITY NUMBER: T19PRE0214
PROJECT REVIEWER: MICHAEL KAT, MICHAEL.KAT@TUCSONAZ.GOV

PLAN COMPLIANCE:
Staff review finds a preliminary determination that the proposal complies with the goals and policies of Plan Tucson and the Rincon/Southeast Subregional Plan, and does not require a plan amendment prior to rezoning from Recreational Vehicle (RV) to Commercial (C-2). However, the proposed overnight stay service would not be permitted in the C-2 zone.

ANALYSIS:
The applicant is proposing to rezone two separate areas of Recreational Vehicle (RV) encompassing approximately 1.2 acres to Commercial (C-2) that are both located within a larger parcel that is 36 acres and zoned C-2. The two areas of RV appear to be remnant zoning from a previous development effort that never was initiated and has left the area vacant. The applicant is proposing a project with a Storage Use land use in order to develop a self-storage complex, which includes RV and boat storage, as well as some overnight stays.

The proposed project is adjacent to Commercial (C-2) on the south and west sides, which includes a gasoline station, a hotel, and a convenience store. To the east, is PAD-7, La Estancia PAD, which is currently undeveloped land. To the north, is the Window Rock East neighborhood (R-2). The I-10 is directly west to the proposed project and according to the MS&R is classified as an interstate highway and major route.

Plan Tucson supports development in existing regional and community level activity centers that will integrate a mix of uses and services into an activity center. The Plan designates the area as part of the Business Center building block, but the area has been vacant land for several years. The proposed project will active the area and provide uses and services that support the existing land uses in the area.

Rincon/Southeast Subregional Plan land use Map #9 designates the project area as a Multifunctional Corridor in order to integrate development of complementary uses along major transportation corridors. Map #9 further directs this area to supporting the needs and opportunities for services that accommodate travelers. The proposed project of a self-storage complex with self-storage and RV and boat storage would be appropriate located along the I-10 where it can serve as a buffer between the adjacent residential neighborhoods and the highway.

That being said, staff review finds the proposed overnight stays service included in the project proposal would not be a permitted land use in the C-2 zone. The existing RV zoning would permit the overnight stay use and reconfiguring the proposed development to locate the overnight stay service within the RV zone would not require a rezoning.

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 Business Centers building block of the Future Growth Scenario Map.

LT28.4.1 Support development in or adjacent to existing regional and community-level activity centers that will:

a. Integrate residential and nonresidential land uses and the mix of private and public land uses, including entertainment, recreation, retail, restaurants, offices, libraries, hotels, public meeting facilities, child care, transit facilities, and other services into mixed-use activity centers;

d. Encourage infilling vacant or underutilized parcels adjacent to existing regional and community-level activity centers;

The goal of the Rincon/Southeast Subregional Plan (RSSP) is to provide land use policy direction and design guidelines for development within the Plan boundary.

The proposed project is located within the RSSP in the section designated Map Detail #9-RSSP, Wilmot/I-10. Areas adjacent to the highway are planned Multifunctional Corridor to respond to needs and opportunities for providing services to travelers.
