CITY TUCSON STATE AZ ZIP 85749 DAYTIME/MESSAGE PHONE: 850-0917 FAX: 760-1950 E-MAIL JPORTNER@PROJECTSINTL.COM PROJECT DESCRIPTION & LOCATION: NORTH OF E TANQUE VERDE ROAD AND EAST OF NORTH HOUGHTON RD., ON 11.62 ACRES. SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION WITH 40 TOTAL HOUSING UNITS. THIS IS A REQUEST TO REZONE 11.62 AC (GROSS) 11.37 AC (NET, AFTER ROW DEDICATION) FROM SR TO R-1FLD (FLEXIBLE LOT DEVELOPMENT).

PARCEL NUMBER: 114-57-063N TOWNSHIP 13 RANGE 15 SECTION 36 ZONE SR PLAN DIRECTION ADOPTED PLAN (S): PLAN TUCSON PLAN AMENDMENT REQUIRED BASED ON CONCEPT PRESENTED (SEE NOTES BELOW) 0 YES X 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. Potential Annexation Areas are areas that the City of Tucson may be pursuing for annexation within the next decade, working with other local jurisdictions with the ultimate goal of having urban commercial and residential areas located within incorporated cities and towns. 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. Analysis: The applicant is proposing to rezone an 11.62 acre lot from SR (Suburban Ranch) to R-1 (Residential). The existing land use is vacant low-density suburban residential. The applicant is proposing a change in land use to low density residential in order to develop single-family detached residences at 3.51 RAC as part of a Flexible Lot Development (FLD) subdivision. Plan Tucson supports residential development with medium-density (between 6 and 14 units per acre) as well as development, such as the proposed project, that is in conformance with the FLD provisions to allow for greater density, however, in response to neighborhood concern, the developers have adjusted the proposal from the original 7.3 RAC to 3.51 RAC, which is well below the maximum FLD density allowed for the R-1 zone. 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, a scenic arterial street per Major Streets and Routes (MS&R). 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 where the City transitions to County and is a fairly low-density suburban/rural setting. The site plan shows that significant natural area setbacks are provided along the north and west property boundaries so as to best buffer the adjoining residences. The applicant also indicated that these natural setback areas will be further supplemented with salvaged vegetation and tree specimens harvested from the property. The subject parcel was annexed by Annexation Ordinance 11357, The "Desert Willow Annexation" in 2016. Surrounding zoning pattern is City of Tucson SR to the east; RX-1 to the west across Houghton Road; Pima County SR to the north; and City of Tucson SR to the south across Tanque Verde Road. The adjacent uses are residential single-family homes to the east; residential single-family homes to the west, vacant parcels and residential single-family home to the north, and vacant land to the south. A plan amendment is not required. |
