APPLICANT NAME: Garrett Murphy, Solon Corporation PHONE: 480-390-1438 E-MAIL: garrett.murphy@solonamerica.com Plan Amendment YES X NO 0 TO BE CONFIRMED LATER PLAN SUPPORT BASED ON CONCEPT PRESENTED (SEE NOTES BELOW): 0 YES 0 NO 1 WILL DEPEND ON DESIGN 1 DESIGN COMPATIBILITY 0 ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCE REPORT PLAN DIRECTION ADOPTED PLAN(S): Plan Tucson (PT) (SEE NOTES BELOW) APPLICABLE PLAN POLICIES: Policy direction is provided by Plan Tucson. No neighborhood or area plan is in effect for this site. Plan Tucson contains a variety of elements that are categorized 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 is part of a Mixed-Use Corridor Building Block in the Future Growth Scenario Map. Mixed-Use Corridors provide a higher intensity mix of jobs, services, and housing along major streets. The businesses and residences within these corridors will be served by a mix of high frequency transit options, as well as pedestrian and bicycle facilities. Applicable Plan Tucson policies and goals from include: Goal 15 Strive for a reduction in the community carbon footprint and greater energy independence. EC6 Increase the use of solar power and other renewable energy sources for City infrastructure, facilities, and operations. EC7 Facilitate community use of solar power and other renewable energy sources. EQ3 Assess and address the impact of governmental operations and actions on air quality. Surrounding Zoning and Land uses The property is currently zoned R-1 Residential. The area to the west and across Beverly Street is zoned R-1 and R-3. This includes single-family homes that are zoned R-1, and a parcel that is split zoned to include both a vacant portion of the lot (R-1) and a self-service car wash (R-3). The car wash fronts on 22nd Street. To the north are commercial buildings fronting on 22nd Street, including an antique mall, restaurants, and a tire store. This area is zoned C-2 Commercial. To the east is a large apartment complex, with over 30 two story buildings, a clubhouse and a pool. The eastern neighbor has a series of solar carports that are located near the property line. This area is also zoned R-3. To the south is an alley and then single-family residential structures. This area is zoned R-3. The City of Tucson Major Streets and Routes Map classifies 22nd Street as an arterial street. ANALYSIS: The special exception request is for the design and construction of three photovoltaic solar canopies, as well as the installation of AC equipment and the interconnection into two separate meters within the parcel. The 10.06-acre parcel is zoned R-1. The proposed activity has been submitted as a Renewable Energy Generation use, subject to use specific standards. This use is governed by Section 4.9.11.B. 2, 3, 4, and 5 of the City of Tucson Uniform Development Code (UDC). The UDC places additional conditions for the development of Renewable Energy Generation. These include a 20-foot setback from adjacent residential zones, as well as specific standards for noise, smoke, glare and odors. The proposed plan does not currently meet the 20-foot setback requirement on the eastern property line. However, the proposed plan complies with all other provisions. ADDITIONAL PLAN POLICIES TO CONSIDER: Plan Tucson Goal 16 Create a community that is resilient and adaptive to climate change. EC8 Access and prepare for the effects of climate change on City infrastructure, facilities, and operations. |
