PARCEL NUMBER: 114-51-228C TOWNSHIP 13 RANGE 15 SECTION 34 ZONE SR PLAN DIRECTION ADOPTED PLAN (S): PLAN TUCSON, BEAR CANYON NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN PLAN AMENDMENT REQUIRED BASED ON CONCEPT PRESENTED (SEE NOTES BELOW) X YES 0 NO 0 TO BE CONFIRMED LATER PLAN SUPPORT BASED ON CONCEPT PRESENTED (SEE NOTES BELOW): 0 YES 0 NO X WILL DEPEND ON 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 site lays within the "Mixed-Use Center" future growth scenario building block; therefore, it is subject to Plan Tucson guidelines pertaining to the Mixed-Use Center Potential Building Block. Mixed-use centers combine a variety of housing options, retail, services, office, and public gathering places, located close to each other, providing occupants of the center and the residents and workers in the surrounding neighborhoods with local access to goods and services. Public transit, bicycles, and walking will get priority in these areas although cars will still play an important role. LT28.1.1 Utilize solutions and strategies included in the Design Guidelines Manual to provide an improved level of community design. LT28.1.7 Preserve and strengthen the distinctive physical character and identity of individual neighborhoods and commercial districts in the community. LT28.5.5 Support 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 lower-density infill can complement the scale and character of neighborhood activity nodes. LT28.5.9 Protect established residential neighborhoods by supporting compatible development, which may include other residential, mixed-use infill and appropriate nonresidential uses. Bear Canyon Neighborhood Plan - The Bear Canyon Neighborhood Plan (BCNP) lays out a number of goals pertaining to residential development. Tucson's continuing residential growth, has increased demand for housing opportunities, and supports the development of the proposed development. BCNP lays out a number of goals and policies related to future residential development. The proposed site is located within the low-density residential land use designation. The goal, sub-goal, and policies pertaining to residential uses in the BCNP are as follows: GOAL To protect and stabilize the character of the neighborhood and encourage an environment compatible for family living. Sub-Goal: Encourage new quality-designed residential development which is compatible with the existing neighborhood. Policies " - Preserve the integrity of established neighborhoods. " - Promote high-quality residential infill of vacant land where adequate streets and utilities are made available. " - Ensure the compatibility of new development with existing land uses. " - Encourage a mixture of housing types emphasizing single-family, owner-occupied dwellings. " - Allow only residential development in areas designated for that use. Analysis: This project is somewhat consistent with both the Plan Tucson and Bear Canyon Neighborhood Plan in providing high-quality infill development adjacent to established neighborhoods, however, the proposed plan for parcels 1 and 3 as indicated on the PDP exceed the density in the land use designation provided by the Bear Canyon Neighborhood Plan (Suburban residential, up to 1 dwelling unit per acre). The project's proposed rezoning of parcel 2 without a proposed use cannot be supported without further information. It is recommended that the applicant reapply for a presubmittal review when a proposal for parcel 2 is complete. The proposal must meet the implementation techniques of the Bear Canyon Neighborhood Plan. Applicable Implementation Techniques from the BCNP are as follows: 4. Require buffers (masonry walls, berms, setbacks, and vegetation) where necessary to mitigate adverse impact of sound, visibility, traffic, and other elements that may infringe upon the integrity of established developments. Buffers should be a visual amenity and in context with the character of the neighborhood, and represent the best practices of landscape architecture. 5. Allow translation of proposed residential uses into any appropriate zoning classification provided that the total number of housing units on a specific parcel shall not exceed the proposed density for the specific parcel as shown on the General Development Map. (Appendix A) 7. Where feasible, modify existing and require the design of all new exterior lighting so that the emitted light is deflected away from adjacent properties and public thoroughfares. 8. Require new utility wires to be placed underground. Encourage placing existing overhead wires underground. 9. Encourage new developments to be architecturally designed so as to enhance and be compatible with the visual character of the neighborhood. (For example, use of natural appearing materials and earth tone colors is most appropriate.) 10. Require new developments to employ native and adaptive low-water use and low- maintenance vegetation, except in buffer zones that may require special landscape criteria. Require water-saving devices wherever possible. (e.g., drip irrigation systems) The General Development Map places this site within the suburban residential density designation, with densities up to 1 dwelling unit per acre. The proposed density for the rezoning of each parcel is shown in the table below. Given the proposed densities, and without a specific proposal for Parcel 2, more information is required. If Parcel 2 is proposed for further development, a design compatibility report and a traffic impact report will be required. Parcel 1 Parcel 2 Parcel 3 Density Proposed 1.93 RAC Up to 1.2 RAC (based upon RX-1 Zoning) 1.81 RAC Consistent with Plan No More information needed No Plan Amendment Reqd. Yes More information needed Yes Surrounding zoning pattern RX-1 to the east; RX-1 to the west; RX-1&C-1 to the north; and RX-1 to the south, so the proposed rezoning to RX-1 & R2 is generally consistent with surrounding zoning patterns. The adjacent uses are residential to the east; residential to the west, residential and commercial to the north, and residential to the south, making this a generally consistent proposed use. A plan amendment is required. |
