| 08/30/2022 | NICHOLAS ROSS | ZONING | REVIEW | Completed | CDRC Thursday Pre-Submittal Transmittal PDSD Zoning Review FROM: Nick Ross, Section Manager PROJECT: Thursday Pre-submittal meeting - T22PRE0188 - 471 W. Congress Apartments Address: 471 W. Congress Parcel(s): 116201350 Zoning: OCR-2 Existing Use: Vacant Proposed Use: Multifamily/Mixed-Use TRANSMITTAL DATE: August 30, 2022 COMMENTS: 1. Development must comply with the Administrative Manual Section 2-06 - Development Package. 2. The proposed use is Multifamily which is subject to no use specific standards in the OCR-2 zone (should additional uses be added to the proposal, other use specific standards may apply). 3. Maximum height in the OCR-2 zone is 300ft. No density max or lot coverage requirements. 4. A lot split application will be required for the new property line. 5. The street perimeter yard setback is the greater of 21' or the height of a proposed structure wall measured from the back of the existing or future curb location from Congress St. This distance is measured from the outside edge of the nearest adjacent travel lane along the frontage road of I10. The proposed heights appear to conflict with these requirements. A potential solution is to push the heights of the project adjacent to the eastern property line which has a 0ft setback requirement. 6. The parking ratio for food services multifamily is 1.25 spaces per unit. Based on 326 units the required parking would be 408 parking spaces. 7. The bicycle parking requirement for multifamily is .1 short term bicycle parking space per unit, and .5 long-term bicycle parking spaces per unit (can locate long-term spaces within units). Requirements = 33 short term spaces and 163 long-term. 8. PAAL width is not identified on plans. 90 degree parking angle requires a minimum 24ft PAAL. 9. A one-way PAAL serving as a fire lane is required to be a minimum of 20' wide. 10. The comments provided are preliminary and are not to be assumed as a complete review of the proposal. During the Development Package review process, a full review will be made by Zoning to assure compliance with the applicable UDC development criteria and Technical Standards.

| 08/30/2022 | MGAYOSS1 | DESIGN PROFESSIONAL | REVIEW | Completed | The project is located within the boundaries of the Infill Incentive District - Rio Nuevo Area (RNA) overlay zone and will need to show compliance with the RNA standards specified in the Unified Development Code (UDC) Section 5.12.7, and go through the Design Review Board (DRB) for review. Since the site dows not contain listed or eligible to be listed as historic, and is not on a designated or pending National Register, the project will not need to go through the Tucson-Pima Historical Commission review (UDC 5.12.7.F.4). Also, please note the RNA does not require you to hold a neighborhood meeting. The RNA review process is on the second page of this handout: www.tucsonaz.gov/files/pdsd/Rio-Nuevo-Area-PhysicalHandout.pdf Here's the application form and list of required materials for RNA review: www.tucsonaz.gov/files/pdsd/Special_Districts_Application_Revised_3-19-20_FILLABLE_PDF.pdf Once you complete your application form and have all materials ready, please submit them in our system and send me an e-mail so I can track them down (please make sure files are in PDF format): Once we receive your application and required materials, I will contact you if anything is missing, and with instructions for electronic payment of the RNA review fee. Once application is accepted and fees paid, we'll schedule the project for DRB review. If you have any questions, just let me know.

| 08/30/2022 | SBEASLE1 | TUCSON WATER NEW AREA DEVELOPMENT | REVIEW | Completed | 300 - 400 pm - T22PRE0188 - 471 W Congress St Site/Land Division: 471 W Congress St Apartments 1. Tucson Water's New Area Development Unit has no objections to the proposed development and offers the following comments for your convenience. 2. There is existing 6" & 8" cement asbestos water distribution mains, and a 24" concrete cylinder water transmission main on this parcel. 3. As indicated on the Site Plan, these existing water mains will either need to be relocated to avoid the building footprints, or abandoned and removed. 4. The relocation / abandonment and removal of these water mains will need to be done at the owner's/developer's expense, and the owner of the property will need to grant public water easements over all the relocated water mains, and any remaining existing water mains on the site that are not currently within public water easements. 5. Tucson Water will need to review and approve the plans for the relocation / abandonment and removal of these water mains, and size and configuration of the new public water easements in Tucson Water's normal Water Master Plan and Water Design Plan review processes. 6. If a 3" or large water meter will be needed to serve this 326 unit apartment building, it and the private backflow prevention devices will need to located within a large meter enclosure per Tucson Water's Standard Detail 314. I saw no such enclosure on the site plan, and the minimum dimensions for such enclosures are 10' wide x 25' long. 7. To support the expansion of the Circle K store on the north side of Congress Street, the Circle K corporation needs to relocate a portion of the 24" water transmission main that lies on that property. The possibility of doing both relocations at the same time using the same consultants and contractors should be investigated. See T20PRE0163 for additional information. 8. The above comments are based on the limited preliminary information provided by the applicant and should not be construed as a complete review of the proposal. Any questions, comments or concerns about these comments may be directed to: Tim Rowe, P.E., Civil Engineer Tucson Water, New Development Section 201 N. Stone Avenue, #2-220 P.O.

| 08/30/2022 | LOREN MAKUS | ENGINEERING | REVIEW | Completed | 1. Balanced basin detention and first flush retention will be required. Generally, using Lower Impact Development design standards will address much of the Commercial Rainwater Harvesting Ordinance requirements as well as retention and detention. 2. Environmental Services will have to approve any special service requirement. We recommend working with them early in the design process. 3. Ensure maneuverability for the loading zone as well as for other expected traffic. 4. Consider outdoor amenities for the easement area on the south side of the parcel.
