| 02/03/2020 | MKAT1 | URBAN PLANNING | REVIEW | Completed | PDSD PLANNING REVIEW ACTIVITY NUMBER: T20PRE0016 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, the Alvernon-Broadway Area plan, and the Miramonte Area Plan, and does not require a plan amendment. The applicant is proposing to amend the preliminary development plan and rezoning condition #2 require any new structure on the rezoning site to be considered a major change to the previously approved preliminary development plan and shall require a new neighborhood meeting and public hearing before Mayor and Council. ANALYSIS: The site is located along Speedway Boulevard and is just east of the Country Club/Speedway intersection. The proposed project is adjacent to Commercial (C-2 and C-3) on the north, east, and west sides, and Residential (R-3) on the south side. The existing land uses are commercial and auto related services with residential located to the south. The applicant is proposing an approximately 26,740 SF expansion of the vehicle detailing building, as well as parking to accommodate the building expansion. Plan Tucson supports commercial that is along arterial streets that takes into consideration traffic safety and congestion issues. The proposed project is along Speedway Boulevard, which is designated an arterial road in the Major Streets & Routes Plan (MS&R). The site plan shows that primary access is from the arterial, however staff has some concerns about the secondary access point on Holly Ave. and how traffic will be mitigated. The Alvernon-Broadway Area Plan and the Miramonte Area Plan supports commercial uses and redevelopment of existing uses to the locations shown on the Conceptual Land Use Map. The conceptual land use map was previously amended to allow commercial/ office/ high-density residential northeast of 1st and Holly where the proposed project is located, which was done for the previous rezoning. Both Area Plan also supports development when primary access can be provided from an arterial street, all parking and maneuvering requirements can be met on-site, screening and buffering for adjacent residential uses can be provided on-site, and new development complies with the General Design Guidelines. The site plan does show that primary access is from an arterial, parking can be met on site, and that screening and buffering is provided. Additional details are required in the site plan to show that all General Design Guidelines are to be followed, such as architectural style and design. 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 Mixed-Use Corridors building block of the Future Growth Scenario Map. LT28.6.3 Support community commercial and office uses located at the intersections of arterial streets, taking into consideration traffic safety and congestion issues. LT28.6.4 Support neighborhood commercial uses located at the intersections of arterial streets, arterial and collector streets, or collector street intersections. LT28.6.7 Consider the expansion of commercial areas into adjoining residential areas when logical boundaries, such as existing streets or drainageways, can be established and adjacent residential property can be appropriately screened and buffered. Commercial expansions or consolidations, especially in conjunction with street widening, may be an appropriate means to preserve the vitality of the street frontage and the adjacent neighborhood. LT28.6.11 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. LT28.6.12 Support infill and redevelopment projects that reflect sensitivity to site and neighborhood conditions and adhere to relevant site and architectural design guidelines. LT28.6.13 Protect established residential neighborhoods by supporting compatible development, which may include other residential, mixed-use infill, and appropriate nonresidential uses. The goal of the Alvernon-Broadway Area Plan is to provide land use policy direction and design guidelines for development within the Plan boundary. NonResidential Policies Policy 2: Limit new office and commercial uses and redevelopment of existing uses to the locations shown on the Conceptual Land Use Map when all of the following criteria are met. a. Primary access can be provided from an arterial street. b. All parking and maneuvering requirements can be met on-site or, if off-site, on locations that have been historically used for parking in conjunction with the site. c. Screening and buffering for adjacent residential uses can be provided on-site. d. New development complies with the General Design Guidelines. The conceptual land use map was previously amended to allow commercial/ office/ high-density residential northeast of 1st and Holly where the proposed project is located, which was done for the previous rezoning. The goal of the Miramonte Area Plan is to provide land use policy direction and design guidelines for development within the Plan boundary. Neighborhood Transitions 3.1.1 - Ensure that new commercial development facing arterials is well designed and presents a welcoming appearance and functional connectivity to the Neighborhood for pedestrians and bicycles. Provide good quality bike racks as part of this effort. 3.1.2 - Provide ample landscape, shade trees, and screening in parking areas adjacent to residential property. 3.1.3 - Provide appropriate access from the arterials for trucks serving the Neighborhood commercial areas. Discourage automobile and truck access into arterial commercial development from the Neighborhood side. Businesses should communicate appropriate access points to delivery drivers.
