| 01/19/2022 | PMCLAUG1 | COMMUNITY PLANNING | REVIEW | Completed | APPLICABLE PLAN POLICIES: Land use policy direction for this site is provided by Plan Tucson, which identifies the site as a Mixed-Use Center in the Future Growth Scenario Map. 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. Plan Tucson contains the following policies: LT28.1.9 Support strategically located mixed-use activity centers and activity nodes in order to increase transit use, reduce air pollution, improve delivery of public and private services, and create inviting places to live, work, and play. LT28.5.1 Support development in or adjacent to existing regional and community-level activity centers that will: a. Integrate residential and nonresidential land uses and the mix of private and public land uses, including entertainment, recreation, retail, restaurants, offices, libraries, hotels, public meeting facilities, child care, transit facilities, and other services into mixed-use activity centers; b. Reestablish pedestrian connections in the street network, where they have been lost, adjacent to existing regional and community-level activity centers and neighborhood-scaled activity nodes; c. Support alternate modes of transportation; d. Encourage infilling vacant or underutilized parcels adjacent to existing regional and community-level activity centers; e. Provide convenient, comfortable, illuminated, and accessible bus shelters and an attractive pedestrian environment; and f. Support pedestrian and bicycle use by providing clearly marked pathways from adjacent bike routes and public sidewalks and walkways, and by separating them from auto traffic access. LT28.5.4 Support a mix of commercial, residential, office, governmental, and other service activities at all major employment centers. LT28.5.8 Support infill and redevelopment projects that reflect sensitivity to site and neighborhood conditions and adhere to relevant site and architectural design guidelines. ANALYSIS: The proposed Zoning Examiner's Special Exception is for a special exception for a blood donor center. The project is located in a 216,200 square-foot site, zoned C-3. On site there is a 10,000 square-foot retail building to the north of the proposed bioplasma facility. The applicant is proposing a 15,000 square-foot one story building, with a height of 23 feet. The site is adjacent to retail development on the north, east and south, and to traveler's accommodation on the west. The proposed use is identified in the Unified Development Code (UDC) as a Major Medical, Outpatient Service - Blood Donor Center. When proposed in the C-3 zone, the use is subject to use-specific standards of UDC Section 4.9.4.O.3 and requires approval through a Mayor and Council Special Exception Procedure, of UDC Section 3.4.4. The Mayor and Council Special Exception Procedure requires a public hearing before the Zoning Examiner, after which the Zoning Examiner forwards a recommendation to the Mayor and Council for a decision to grant the request with, or without, conditions or to deny the request. 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 details on existing/proposed screening, colors and materials, demonstrating compliance with the requirements of the UDC, and policy direction provided by Plan Tucson. |

| 01/25/2022 | HEATHER THRALL | SIGNS | SIGN CODE REVIEW | Completed | RE: sign review For: proposed blood donation center At: 475 W Wetmore Rd Case: Special Exception T22SE00001 Date: 1/25/22 Reviewer: H. Thrall Codes: Unified Development Code (UDC) 7A Sign Standards, National Electrical Code (NEC), Tucson-Pima County Outdoor Lighting Code (OLC), International Building Code (IBC). 1) Please note that the site is developed with adjacent buildings, no billboards are present. 2) Please be advised the sign district is General Business. 3) Please note that no additional freestanding signs may be placed at this site without a review for a code variation via the Sign Design Review Option process. (Prior variance allowed the sign on Auto Mall, a local street - in addition to the freestanding sign on Oracle Road.) 4) Note that access point signs are permitted, as they are not in the same category as freestanding signs. 5) Sign area ratio is 3 square feet of sign area per linear foot of street frontage, to be measured in this case by the length of the building wall with the public entry. Maximum sign area is further capped at 30% coverage of building elevations. 6) signs shall have a curfew of midnight and not exceed 4400k color temperature internal illumination (standard) 7) As there is an existing hotel use to the west with several levels of windows facing east, staff does have one condition to recommend for this establishment as related to signage: illuminated building signage shall be restricted to placement on east and north building elevations. Please contact Heather.Thrall@tucsonaz.gov for any additional questions on signage criteria. |
