| 01/17/2020 | MKAT1 | URBAN PLANNING | REVIEW | Completed | PDSD PLANNING REVIEW ACTIVITY NUMBER: T20PRE0004 PROJECT REVIEWER: MICHAEL KAT, MICHAEL.KAT@TUCSONAZ.GOV PLAN COMPLIANCE: Staff review finds a preliminary determination that the proposal does comply with the goals and policies of Plan Tucson, and does not require a plan amendment prior to rezoning from SR (Suburban Ranch) to R-2 (Residential). ANALYSIS: The applicant is proposing to rezone two parcels composing 9.17 acres from Suburban Ranch (SR) to Residential (R-2). The site is located along Tanque Verde Road, a scenic arterial road in the Major Streets & Routes Plan (MS&R), and is approximately a quarter mile west of the Bear Canyon shopping center. The proposed project is adjacent to Suburban Ranch (SR) on all sides, and Office (O-3) and Residential (RX-1) along the northeastern edge of the site. The existing land uses vary between parcels. One is vacant and the other is single-family residential. Adjacent land uses consist of offices to the east, single-family residential to the east, south, and west, and a fire station to the west. The applicant is proposing a change in land use to multi-family residential in order to develop an 84 casitas development consisting of one, two, and three bedroom units, parking, and landscape borders. 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 single-story apartments located due north of the proposed project and further east around the Bear Canyon shopping center. The proposed project will have an approximate density of 9.16 RAC and building height of 14 feet, which is appropriate 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 Tanque Verde Road, a scenic arterial street per Major Streets and Routes (MS&R). The project is also west 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 on the edge of the City 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, the proposed site plan shows that approximately 0.5 acres of the site is left undeveloped on the southern portion to protect the wash, which provides a sizable buffer between the project and the existing residential. 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. Annexation Agreements Ordinance No. 7428 - SR within the Sabino/Tanque Verde Annexation District is subject to the following conditions. The SR (R): golf courses and guest ranches prohibited.
