CASE NUMBER / LOCATION: T20PRE0167, 350 N CLOVERLAND AV
APPLICANT NAME: CHARLES SULIK
PHONE: 520-419-7852 E-MAIL: CHARLES.SULIK@TUCSONAZ.GOV

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Well C-046B – THE PROPOSED SPECIAL EXCEPTION IS FOR INFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADES TO AN EXISTING TUCSON WATER WELL SITE, INCLUDING THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW SHADE STRUCTURE.


APPLICABLE PLAN POLICIES:

Plan Tucson contains the following policies:
LT28.1.3 – Improve the appearance of above-ground utilities and structures.
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.

The Broadway-Craycroft Area Plan’s purpose is to guide future development while protecting and improving existing neighborhoods. Policy direction provided by the Plan includes:
Policy 4 – Design new non-residential development and redevelopment in a manner that complements adjacent residential uses. Require appropriate design elements and buffering techniques during the rezoning and related development review processes to ensure the sensitive design of new non-residential development and redevelopment in established neighborhoods (see General Design and Buffering policies).

ANALYSIS:

The proposed Zoning Examiner’s Special Exception is for upgrades to an existing Tucson Water well site, which includes:
a) The construction of a new shade structure (as specified on Sheets 3 and 6); and
b) The installation of an antenna in an existing steel antenna mast (as specified on Sheet 14).

The project is located at the northwest corner of Highland Vista Park, zoned R-1, and is adjacent to single-family residential development. This well site is a non-conforming utility distribution land use that is proposing improvements and a new structure and antenna, requiring a Special Exception procedure through the Zoning Examiner, and must be compliant with the use specific standards called out in sections 4.9.11.A. 1, .2, .5, .8, .9, .11 of the Unified Development Code (UDC). Additionally, review by the Design Review Board (DRB) will be required prior to Zoning Examiner’s consideration.

The policy direction of Plan Tucson has policies that ensure sensitive design to development to improve the appearance of above-ground utilities and structures. A plan amendment is not required.

Staff recommends applicant include in the proposed concept plans the height of the new shade structure, and details on existing/proposed screening, colors and materials, demonstrating compliance with the requirements of the UDC, and policy direction provided by Plan Tucson and the Broadway-Craycroft Area Plan.
